Reason #3 was perfectly descriptive. It takes balls to do what you're doing, don't ever stop man, you're so inspiring!!!! The best things in life should scare you a little, and excite you A LOT!! Best of luck! I believe in you, you've got this!
I really love your humor. I really needed this video today as I lost a friend last weekend and needed something to make me laugh. This video was just the trick! Thank you so much for sharing your talent with the world. I also applaud you for following your heart. I had a similar scenario in 2012 when I decided to follow my heart, quit the job I was at for fifteen years, and just go for it. It was the best choice I have made. Yes, it can be scary as hell at first but once you settle into the new way of doing things, everything will make so much more sense. It's a really awesome feeling knowing you are doing what you love to do, isn't it? While my life's journey took me a non-music route, I am able to be part of something that is much, much bigger than I. I look forward to seeing the journey and your new way of life. Just remember, everyone dies.....not everyone lives. :)
So agree! He is so " level headed" he will be fine with support! So many of love him and his antics that we will make it worth it for him!! 66Samus thanks for the update and we got your back! I'm sure most of us want you to succeed so...SEX!
DUDE!!! I'm honestly very proud of you for making this big adjustment for your life. It seems like you need if you're more fond of making money on your passion for playing music. That's exactly where I need to be in my life. I will support you as much as I can, my dude. You are awesome, funny as hell and seem to have an inner child that I can definitely appreciate myself 😁
Hi Samus, I'm writing to you from the cloudy Italy. I'm 46, I've been listening to metal since I was 15 and I've been playing drums since I was 20. I found you out about 1 year ago in your video "Influential metal drummers". In recent years I have had to make courageous professional choices: I have been free lance and I have worked in companies, with all the difficulties of the case. But the love for music is stronger than ever. I wish you the best for the job and for your passion that you express with great talent and appreciable creativity. I will continue to follow you with the promise of making some purchases in the future. Let the Metal flow ... light years ahead!
You'll be fine my dude! Congrats on making the jump! I tried to convince Andew (Baena) to do this a year ago and he finally did it this year! Totally worth it
Totally agree. As soon as he said what he was going to do my first thought was, damn I need to go sign up for his patreon and support him! Been enjoying his amazing content for to long now not to
Best of luck man. Just know you are doing the right move! I did the exact same thing back in 2012. And I am very thankful and happy I took this step. \m/
Hell ya dude GO FOR IT !!!! I feel this video so much as I am going through the same process - quitting my job at the end of the year and moving in my fathers studio (who is also a drummer) to step of the deep end into the unknown and make music together. We are aspiring to make our own label and do music full time - YOU CAN DO THIS - I look forward to seeing your journey unfold - very inspirational to me to see you going for your dreams fills me with optimism 👌🤙
Yes dude!! I feel it 100% just keep at it and give it everything you got. And remember even when shit gets hard, your living the dream, and if you can look up you can get up
Subbed and joined patreon. I used to play some drums when i was kid untill i got tinnitus. Started to play with mopeds after that. Now i play guitar and find ur stuff fascinating. keep it up!
I was in a similar situation just over a year ago. I hated my job and wanted to do something I really loved. I quit my job and started my own business do what I’m passionate about. It’s been hard as hell, but also the most fun, and fulfilling thing I’ve ever done. It’s a hard edition to make, but you’ll be glad you did. When you are really able to focus on what your passionate about, it’ll work out. We all have your back! Good luck man!
Being a drummer myself,i can only wish you the best in this new phase!!you got a fantastic brilliant road ahead.you're really talented and hard working,and i like the fact that you're not only in "extremes styles" of music,but also into most classic drummers on other styles as well.there's some brains there bro!!we are in this era of "i only play blasts with triggers"and they don't have a clue of other styles of music and drummers.you make a difference!!!you go beyond all that.you know,if you only listen to just one type of music and drumming,you can't come up with something interesting!!keep going your art!!!verrrrrryyy verrrrryyy best wishes for you bro!!!! Ps:i love your sweet dogs!!
"I'm not some amazing musician with Divine Powers" Says the man who recorded drums for a DEVIN TOWNSEND record, x3. Seriously though, super glad to see him going for this. Godspeed, Samus, hype to see what you have in store for us in the future.
Samus, this must have been the most scariest moment for you. Leaving a job when you get a regular paycheck every week… and not having a 100% guarantee that you will make it on the internet! I have ALWAYS wanted to be an artist…ever since I was a little kid. I don’t see myself making a living at…but it’s fun to doodle, and draw, and paint… Just to create something artistically! 😊
I wish I had the nuts and guts that you do. I’ve played music for my entire life and have always dreamed of doing music as a full time career. I wish you all the best in your endeavors sir. You’re going to kill it!
Take a lot of guts to follow your dreams man! Congratulations on doing so! Big influence here to do what you love and I hope it all works out for you cause you sure are an amazing musician!
Hey man I am so proud of you for following your gut. I hope it all works out well for you, you're a talented musician with a lot to give. All the best.
You're an inspiration my man! I'm in the same boat with a 50+ hr civil engineering job, wife, 2 kids, but still attempt to keep music and playing in my life. Keep up the good work. I cant wait to see what you can do with more time!
Man, I'm so with you in this! You are an inspiration to me (I'm also a drummer), so seeing that you are risking it al now for the sake of it really makes me happy. Pretty sure you gonna rock it, dude!
I was avoiding watching this because I thought you were giving the channel up. So glad you're diving straight into music no holds barred! I'll be here every step of the way, and I'm certain everyone else here feels the same! Good luck brother!
Good for you \m/....at age 48 I finally decided to start drumming,bought an e drum kit (live in an apt) 15 months ago despite being an amputee...my friend now room mate modified my prosthetic leg so i can start working the hihat and double bass of course,and he plays guitar so we have a very spartan studio aka my living room and soon will be on youtube posting stoopid 90 second death metal/punk/cowbell tunes n vids....its a primal urge we just need to run with sometimes,I predict you will have success and definately enjoy life more...fuck work

I think Samus real challenge was to convince his wife for this decision. Definitely he just won a great battle but under a severe truce deal from his wife agreement.🤣
This is awesome man! As a fellow metal drummer, I completely relate and understand the dilemma. The struggle is real! Sometimes you just have to take the chance and dive in. Your talent and abilities are epic bro! I'm sure that this change you're making is going to result in great things that weren't possible before. Congrats and good luck!
So happy for you. Dedicating your life to music is amazing. Shows strength of character taking risks like that. But you've got the skills and passion so GET IT DONE!
Congratulatons, dude!
Fuck you Glenn...🤟🏽

Go for it brother, you got this. Wish I had the guts to do the same thing. Good for you.
Dude, do it.
Dude, even a drummer with chops like him is not even confident in this shit. don't do it if you're not in his position, musicianshipwise

Jeeez Samus I don't think you will struggle. Devin thought you were a drumming god!
Devin also said Chad Kroeger is a genius js
Jermy Hopkisn he is a genius, he came up with a band that makes shitty music that makes a shit ton of money hahaha
You had me at TESTICLES. and I believe in you, man! So happy for you!

Big ballsy play boss 🤟Death to 9-5 and bring those blast beats
Sanguinius Prime 9-5 is the devil. Who wants to work 40 hours a week?

Jacob Smith You think that’s bad? My dad works 7-5 5 days a week
Metal Militia yeah that's worse. I'm a military member and I work just under 30-40 hours a week. It's alright but I'd rather not be at work.
Just about shit a brick reading the title, I thought you were giving up making videos dude!
Keep up the awesomeness 🤘
Suscribed at the very first "fart at job" second. Priceless
Success!

Good on you man. Let's get this bread.
Dude, but you are an amazing musician with super powers
bottomfeeds RIGHT?
The most important thing is that your wife is supportive of your decision 🙂 as a drummer you've always been a huge influence for me

OOOH YURRRR Sam! I am so f*cking glad you take the chance!
Good for you, but let's talk about the serious issue here: your frequency of diarrhea, and the sheer force it explodes with is alarming.
Yeah, I'm thinking the people at his job are going to be throwing a huge party... the day after he's gone.
