Matt sure did have some big shoes to fill when he joined the band but man, I sure do miss that raw power and that tightness that Navene had. Matt feels so jazzy with it. Navene was just so on it.
This is so inspiring to watch. The ending to live cafo with Navene I prefer over Matt's ending, the stops in the drumming just give it so much more effect in my opinion, I love it.
After watching this entire video of insanity i can safely say my favorite part was right at the end when he chose NOT to play. Space is something his playing lacks and that moment was so awesome.
@@zacmilne9423 completely different set of skills required to play in post navene animals. they wouldn't be the same band without matt. weightless is also a cake walk compared to their newer records. i think most high level metal drummers could play entheos and you wouldn't notice much of a difference. there would be a noticeable difference in animals without matt.
loving the new e-zine. Navene has been my favorite drummer since I saw him play with animosity back in 2003. In my honest opinion he is the future of drumming.
Isn't it strange, a human organism can concieve of such aural stimulation, and then turn that dream into a reality? What brilliance it is to dream it, and what talent it takes to actualize it. My respect is given and well due.
@TheDuffyGamer34 I can only assume RUclips doesn't track the time the video was uploaded properly after 10 years. I can't remember exactly when I made the comment but I do remember I saw this video when it was first uploaded.
I just don't even know what to say after I saw this video. Brilliant, enthusiastic, accurate and powerful - yet seemingly stressless and easy. Heck, I showed this vid to my Mom, age 76, who immediatly wanted to hear it again, and again and again - though she has never listened to something else than Haydn, Schostakowitsch, Bizet or Strauss. Thank you, SD for showing some of this great work to us and my utmost respect to Navene!
Wow. I loved the band but didn't realise how good Navene Koperweis is. Listening to the album and just thinking of having to play that programmed superbness was more than enough to stop you trying it. He pulls it off amazingly well. My hat is off. Well done, Sir.
I've been to 2 of their concerts and they're awesome! Navene plays the same underlying rhythm for each song every time like you would hear off their albums, but his fills are always different. He just gets on stage and grooves :-)
Steven Sproat same thing happened to me, I loved navene in animosity and they opened for job for a cowboy and I was like who the fuck is this band animals as leaders, turned out it was navene again.
There are so many great drummers out there in this genre, all with their own style, which makes them kind of incomparable to each other. Jay Postones, Alex Rudinger, Anup Sastry, Pat Skeffington and so on. Navene's a beast nonetheless, just listen to the old Animosity stuff!
I Love Matt, but it makes me sad I never got to see Navene play live, and just give him an arm wave. Kinda like Chris Baretto. Love the new shit, but so much love and respect for the start, too
How could anybody compare this guy to Matt? Matt completed the band and literally made Tosin's attempt at a perfect project well, perfect! Matt is untouchable dude, Navene didn't even write the drums in the first album, it was all programmed by Misha Mansoor from periphery. Matt is a freaking animal, (huehue) get over it.
Matt oozes passion dude. Idk personally I think that matt fits style fits AAL much better, I dont think that Navene could ever keep up with the stuff that AAL has been coming up with, IMO
Elijah Byers Well, good thing your opinion doesn't amount to the real deal. Matt writes great parts, but you're a fool if you think that Kappi couldn't play them.
Holy shit. Why did they get rid of this guy? I love Matt Garska's technicality but this guy is just fiery with his drumming and his passion. For fucking rocking out.
No limite do humano. Talvez o arranjo que mais será discutido nas proximas décadas. Koperweis deixa sua assinatura pra posteridade. Garstka assume o posto com dignidade e maestria. Dois artistas brilhantes, a altura entre si.
If you have to ask what band and song this is, when it is clearly listed in the title, then you are not intelligent enough to be listening to this kind of music.
These ppl are gonna Kill me : - Tomas Haake - George Kollias - Alex Rüdinger - Matt Garstka - Matt Halpern - Travis Orbin - Romain Goulon - Hannes Grossmann . . .
I love how he left because this became too easy for him lol. im sure it wasnt "easy" but i can imagine when touring having to play the same few songs in roughly the same way for months on end could get tiring if you keep being creative in new ways and want to do different sounding music. Plus with him gone we got to see how fucking crazy good matt garstka is.
Hilarious; one top comment so deep and poetical with ''...turn a dream into a reality? what a brilliance it is to dream it and what talent it takes to actualize it.'' and the other one just ''FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK''
If I want to rock out with my crocks out, I'll turn on the studio version with my massive speakers at home. But when I see them live, I want to SEE them live. My 2 cents.
I love when Tosin turns back just to see Navene destroying his drum kit
Ahaha
Man this dude was a perfect fit for early AAL. So tight with Animosity
Matt Garstka fits perfect I think
I miss animosity
Matt sure did have some big shoes to fill when he joined the band but man, I sure do miss that raw power and that tightness that Navene had. Matt feels so jazzy with it. Navene was just so on it.
Those Ghost Notes make a world of difference.
This is so inspiring to watch. The ending to live cafo with Navene I prefer over Matt's ending, the stops in the drumming just give it so much more effect in my opinion, I love it.
It's hilarious that there are covers of this song that have 10x more views than a pro-shoot of the musician who created this.
I'm not sure if you are aware but Navene didn't write drums for this album. Tosin programmed them and Navene learned them.
Joshua Cameron I'm not sure if you're aware but actually misha mansoor (periphery) is the one who programmed the drums :)
Josh Rudiger Misha wrote the entire song
jesus these people get off topic. yeah i also dont like how covers have that many views haha
Joshua Cameron op's comment went WAY over your head buddy
After watching this entire video of insanity i can safely say my favorite part was right at the end when he chose NOT to play. Space is something his playing lacks and that moment was so awesome.
With a band so focused on Guitars you forget how insane the drummer is.
Gartska is a much more diverse drummer, but man.... no one plays this song like Navene.
So true
Have you listened to Entheos? Navene blows Garstka out of the water. He can also shred guitar with the best of them.
@@zacmilne9423 I like both, but Garstka is the better drummer.
@@zacmilne9423 completely different set of skills required to play in post navene animals. they wouldn't be the same band without matt. weightless is also a cake walk compared to their newer records. i think most high level metal drummers could play entheos and you wouldn't notice much of a difference. there would be a noticeable difference in animals without matt.
@@zacmilne9423completely wrong matt is miles ahead
i really dont know how someone can remember all these complex times and fills. very impressive drumming

How the hell is this comment from twelve years ago when the video was uploaded 10 years ago?

@@rexlupis 12 years later and I hope you're doing well
@@rexlupis 12 years later, and I hope you're still blasting AAL
6:16 THAT ENDING.... WHATTT? That was so well done!
Navene: 1
Drums: 0

The time signature of this song is the only thing in the universe that I found out it has the nearest complexity to woman.
Sipher Leggett it's actually just 9/8 and 7/8 throughout :)
4 words. The Dance of Eternity.
HAHAHAHAHA
@@ryanjohnson2934 Don't try to sound smart, it's not alternating between 9 and 7 all the time. Some sections are in 9, other in 7 and other in 4.
I don't see why this doesn't have like a million views. I am in awe of how groovy and solid it is!
R.I.P. drumset
hahaha
Noah D he used it as a crash
And the crowd is in awe with such a performance that its left them motionless.
Hard to believe drumming wasn't his true passion. He's amazing,
what is?
That part at the end....
Y'know,even though i love Gartska and stuff,Navene is pretty fcking dope!!
I mean,he's given cafo a different dimension.
a more metal-y touch i'd say
Anurag Gidugu well he is the original writer
@@user-id2dx4qd6j Misha Mansoor of periphery and Tosin Abasi wrote the drums I think
@@the1zeldafan609 this is correct, in fact they were electronic drums originally and navene had to learn all of the tracks
Yeah naveeny shreds ass apart
Wow. I loved the band but didn't realise how good Navene Koperweis is. Listening to the album and just thinking of having to play that programmed superbness was more than enough to stop you trying it. He pulls it off amazingly well. My hat is off. Well done, Sir.
how does that china not just crumble into pieces?
+BackBurner899 I'll be he has backups just in case, and a room at home full of broken chinas haha
he's changing the china every 30 seconds into a new one. you don't see it cause he is too fast ...
one word.. awesome!
i love seeing drummers like navene k, matt garstka, eloy casagrande playing as much as mike portnoy and using a really smaller drums setup.
The pause at the end is fuckin filthy
I've been to 2 of their concerts and they're awesome! Navene plays the same underlying rhythm for each song every time like you would hear off their albums, but his fills are always different. He just gets on stage and grooves :-)
6:25 the power of silence. This band plays so tight.
When I saw AAL back in like 2011 man I was fucking blown back by the drums. I think they opened with this and holy fucking shit like
Steven Sproat same thing happened to me, I loved navene in animosity and they opened for job for a cowboy and I was like who the fuck is this band animals as leaders, turned out it was navene again.
I was so surprised that he wasn't on the first album. I thought Matt has always been with AAL. But I love this guy!!!
Colt He never wrote any of the parts. Most of the drums for AAL were all programmed.
@@BurnTheNuance programmed or not, it's impressive enough that he plays it like eating a cake. Navene is an incredible drummer. And so is Matt.
There are so many great drummers out there in this genre, all with their own style, which makes them kind of incomparable to each other. Jay Postones, Alex Rudinger, Anup Sastry, Pat Skeffington and so on. Navene's a beast nonetheless, just listen to the old Animosity stuff!
Those fills nearing the end were goddamn impressive.
dude plays like he's on cocaine... haha. Fucking epic though! damn!
It's a drummers dream to be in this band. They get to kill it every single night!
Unplayable! Love NAVENE!!!
THAT HI-HAT STAND IS FREAKING ME OUT¡¡¡
Why so?
@@alank.c.3822 That rod is bothersome (drummer problems)
I'm a drummer haha, I still don't see how that's a problem
@@alank.c.3822 Well, even tough Navene never does it, reaching that china with your right could be a bit of a pain.
Yea, but his China is positioned to be played with the left hand, so, it wouldn't make sense for him to play it with his right hand
Wow. That must have been an awesome show.
He's such a good drummer, he just got an Ibanez deal you guys lol
I remember seeing his with Animosity. Such an amazing musician.
I Love Matt, but it makes me sad I never got to see Navene play live, and just give him an arm wave.
Kinda like Chris Baretto. Love the new shit, but so much love and respect for the start, too
amazing
If I was in the crowd it would be awkward... Cos I would be the only one going crazy!!!
This drummer is amazing, fit perfect in the band
This isn't good enough to make me quit, it's good enough to make me practice.
Navene is more Like a thug and Matt a good student , thats the difference that came to my mind.
Couldn´t agree more.
Matt is good, but Navene.. That´s pure fucking energy.
I just adrenaline rush while seeing this
awesome at carrying the beat on either side, so key
How could anybody compare this guy to Matt? Matt completed the band and literally made Tosin's attempt at a perfect project well, perfect! Matt is untouchable dude, Navene didn't even write the drums in the first album, it was all programmed by Misha Mansoor from periphery. Matt is a freaking animal, (huehue) get over it.
Elijah Byers matt may be more technical but navenes energy and passion outmatches matts i like these drummer for 2 different reasons
Matt oozes passion dude. Idk personally I think that matt fits style fits AAL much better, I dont think that Navene could ever keep up with the stuff that AAL has been coming up with, IMO
... Navene was not in the band in the first place... What the fuck is this argument...
Elijah Byers Well, good thing your opinion doesn't amount to the real deal. Matt writes great parts, but you're a fool if you think that Kappi couldn't play them.
fuck me that ending.. i think i just shit my pants
Their both bad ass drummers !
That fake end gets me everytime.
1 word, 2 actually, Holy Fuck!
Such an awesome drummer!
What a BEAST!!!
I miss Navene with this band.
Same dude
What a beast!
That outro was fucking nasty
he has so much more control than garstka, definitely should've stayed
OKAY.. I'm getting old.. Sorry Blake !! How Could I forget you haha..
The part at the end is the reason why AI will never be able to compose music like humans do.
what a fucking poweful drummer
Go home. You're drunk. Haha i tease, but Navene is on another level man. Nothing wrong with his snare timing.
Damn! He smacks the sh*t out of his set! o_O
Fucking NO ONE plays CAFO like Navene...not even Matt, yea I said it.
the finale is just epic as shittt
5:45, he just brutally killed half of the audience...
Insane
I'm loving the contrast between the two top comments.
The 'Prog community' really is a diverse one.
Like it. Very good drummer.
Totally
Simplesmente destruidor! Adorei esse stack, quero fazer um desses para mim haha
Holy shit. Why did they get rid of this guy? I love Matt Garska's technicality but this guy is just fiery with his drumming and his passion. For fucking rocking out.
That mute/pause at the end, I came.
No limite do humano. Talvez o arranjo que mais será discutido nas proximas décadas. Koperweis deixa sua assinatura pra posteridade. Garstka assume o posto com dignidade e maestria. Dois artistas brilhantes, a altura entre si.
thinking about it, i might be too mezmerized to move. if i saw them live i'd be in a state of shock
holy sh!t, thats beautiful o.O
UUUgghhh that hi-hat rod!!!! (Amazing playing skills btw)
Cmonnnn get animosity back togetherrrrrr
DAMN, he is so fucking good!
Insane performance
Navene's power and intensity trumps the first album. No doubt that Gartska is an awesome player but his RnB fills are sometimes kinda off.
Gartska drummed on the most recent album, "The Joy of Motion". The drums on AAL's first album were programmed my Misha Mansoor.
what the heck are you talking about?
+Marc Watkins on the first album there was not acoustic drums. It was all programmed till Matt Garstka
good stuff, great grooves!
Im not sure what set they're at in this video, but the audience is just standing there basking in this ear glory not even moshing or anything...
@clemshetfield well the beauty of this timing, 9/4 is that you can keep a steady head bang and "Be on time"
If you have to ask what band and song this is, when it is clearly listed in the title, then you are not intelligent enough to be listening to this kind of music.

I love the hi hat sound
Am I an alien to prefer the Navene version over Matt's ? Maybe sloppier sometimes but there's like another flavor with Navene
Nope. I love Navene's version and most of Matt's playing is actually meh for me.
GARTSKA cant hold a candle
ruclips.net/video/gzl7lOYmeL0/видео.html&frags=pl%2Cwn
Jeez, people. Why do you have to discredit one to like the other? I don't get it.
Couldn't you just appreciate both of them?
2 YEARS AGO? OH GOD WHAT IS THIS?
Looks like a marching snare. Maybe that's where his technical proficiency comes from lol
lol, its clearly not a marching snare
and he got all his speed and technic from his old bands like animosity
Don't know if you could tell, but I wasn't being serious lol its just a big snare
2 years now!
The only one that didnt seem to struggle with this song as much.
If I want to rock out with my crocks out, I'll turn on the studio version with my massive speakers at home. But when I see them live, I want to SEE them live. My 2 cents.
Matt Garstka is awesome because he can hit the left china while not hitting that annoying tama hihat pedal stood
