If you love Forrest you’d love his solo project Wolfy! Go check it out, nothing but pure gas drum chops. You can feel the warmth of his smile through the speakers
@@heavyprogressive76 i was thinking the same lol. Dude looks like he wished upon a shooting star to be a goated metal drummer and he woke up and discovered he is 😂
It's hard to pin it down at first, but I think the reason Forrest will always be the percussive identity of Covet is his ability to understand and replicate Yvette's melodic lines in the rhythmical and dynamic content of his playstyle. Sure, any drummer with enough work and skill can play this music, even reproduce the very same line of notes Forrest produces- but to recapture his dynamic, almost "legato" flow around the kit is the kind of stuff it would take years to achieve.
It's this! JBurd is great, but she's a better version of their OG drummer Ben - a punk/indie drummer who can play their way around Yvette's unique feel/playstyle and weird time sigs. Forrest went steps further and complimented everything she plays with so much taste and feel for such complex, note heavy music. With Forrest & David, Covet was a jazz band that could still stand out on a bigger 'rock' stage. With JBurd and Brandon they're a guitar hero band with Yvette's skills and songwriting front and center. Both good things, just way different from each other.
@@artisupitis2147 It is the sound of the cymbals and also the way the drummer plays them. Also the way the engineer records and mixes them and we perceive them. It is a great job by everyone involved, and the cymbals sound excellent together.
@@rossgras I agree, especially with the way the drummer plays/sticks used ect but as matey said, the hats are 2 top hats from different lines, the drummer is the guy responsible for creating the sound palette of the cymbals in relation to the song Also everyone has their own natural sound/dynamic of playing, if the camera man played this track, perhaps the sound wouldn't be so well meshed between the drums and music. No matter how incredible meinl sound engineers are
I miss his tenure with Covet, his personality and drum grooves really fit well under Yvette's riff. Not say that Jessica isn't doing great, because she is. But man, Forrest with Covet was just something else. 😩
@@anuvette hell nah, she's good but she just lacks what forrest has. not neraly as technically proficient, not as creative, lacks a feel for the type of music forrest plays. she's great but forrest is simply different
Man got to love Forrest's drum face. You can see the "Yvette" effect all over this guy. A bit sad that he's not a part of Covet anymore but a few tears roll down my face seeing how he's still playing drums still with a lot of passion and happiness. I'm cheering for him and @MEINL Cymbals I would love to see more from Forrest Rice. This guy is such a beast and I hope you don't mind me adding this onto my favorite drums playlist ;)
@@RITKO There is a good chance the "Yvette" effect is not a real thing, it's a word I'm coining here. I could be short sided here. as well but whenever I see a lot live performances and music video I frequently see Yvette smiling while she plays guitar. I'm speculating with Covet she was the first to do it and it's her way that she's feeling and enjoying the music. I could be seeing it wrong but if my speculations are correct seeing Forrest's drum face could be reflective of this effect. This is what I mean by the "Yvette" effect lol
This instantly one of my favorite meinl vids. Everything about it is perfect. The mix, the drum tones and most importantly Forrest’s playing! Love you broski!❤️
He's always smiling when he plays which makes him an absolute joy to watch. He really loves the drums and he's really damn good at them. I know...6 months later.
Thank you for this!!!! I'm also a drummer. I have a very wild Spotify playlist and this is one of my favorite songs I have found. So glad to see it played by the artist. He's a wizard 😮
Either you have an Audio Technica endorsement or your engineers love them (for good reason). Either way, you should provide a mic list in the description in addition to the drum equipment. Maybe negotiate to get some $$ from the mic companies for the gear plug. Meinl TY Channel has some of THE BEST drum recordings. My ears are always happy.
Unfortunately part of the reason I'm sure they don't is the red banded AT mics they use on the toms have been discontinued for years, and the replacements sound like absolute trash comparatively. They're ATM25s, if you wanna pay insane prices on secondary markets.
Awwwwwww man I LOVE FORREST'S PLAYIN! You just know he's holding back from rippin in to them! But that's the sign of great musicality, and an amazin drummer. Quality brother! 🤘
Forrest is my n1 inspiration right now, and yeah i love what he and yvette have brought to the world of music together but im sure he has his reasons to put some more points into his wolfy project
from the thumbnail, I thought he is a metal-progressive-hardcore-rock drummer... its my bad, judging from the cover..lmao dang, his drumming style is so groovy and also my kind of music that I loved to listen everyday...
I’m a metal drummer myself and prefer that style but just doing simple jams like this, nothing to crazy just enjoying the drums and music like he is just warms my heart
@@juanparrasantos2583 Matt Gartska? what type of drummer would you define him as? in the Literal sense, an "insert genre" drummer would do that as their proffesion/job/band, but that doesnt speak to the knowledge, influences and other styles of drumming they are into, so of course a metal drummer could do anything. are you implying that "Metal Drummers" are singlet wearing, inked-up buff guys that have a mohawk and every hit sounds like a thundercrack going off with 0 dynamic control? haha
More from Forrest pleaaaase! It‘s a shame he isn‘t with Covet anymore.
Aw damn when did he leave???
@@coreyroberts47 he wants to focus on his own projects!
so sad, he is so good and has a reallly nice flow. Those covet songs are marvelous
Not for him
If you love Forrest you’d love his solo project Wolfy! Go check it out, nothing but pure gas drum chops. You can feel the warmth of his smile through the speakers
If I could play drums like that, I'd never stop smiling too
that perma-smile appears to be pot -induced.
Real
His paradiddle game is on point.
I simply love how Forrest plays, always smiling and such a groovy play! It's just relaxing and inspiring at the same time
The happiest drummer to ever live
Love it! .. But don't forget about Bryce Butler of course!
@@heavyprogressive76 i was thinking the same lol. Dude looks like he wished upon a shooting star to be a goated metal drummer and he woke up and discovered he is 😂
@@ryanlaidlaw2965 haha it took me a few watches of his work and finesse on the kit, but GODDAMN he's clean INDEED!
He;s neck and neck with Benjamin Weikel from the Helio Sequence for happiest drummers: ruclips.net/video/g-SNpcCuZFo/видео.html
I love when musicians smile non stop while playing their instrument. It shows the joy and passion that goes into, and resides in what they do.

This is the best cymbal pairing I have heard from Meinl. The sound is so well meshed with the drums and music, its a perfect match.
With the Exception of my version of Home again I Agree... Seriously I completely agree with you
That's all from the drummer not the cymbal brand lol

Dude is a master of ghost notes on the snare. Always fit so well with Covet's music.

Forrest with covet was amazing 😭 it was sad to see the end of such an amazing era with covet for him but he's pulling through with Wølfy
You surely didn' t see their new drummer. She is like beginner in compare to him.
@@Grecki_Bog_Domestos nah she's amazing idk what you're talking about. She was like the perfect replacement for Forrest
@@Grecki_Bog_Domestos She just has a different style than Forrest is all. She's doing his parts nicely, though.

My fav song! Forrest wrote such beautiful parts for this song, so musical.
Unbridled joy conveyed perfectly through emotive percussion. I miss hearing him with Covet
I love this man. The way he plays and always has a smile on his face.
Man, this dude just brings the vibes!! Soooo musical and I loved his energy.
One of my favorite drummers and human beings on the planet! King status👑
This is even better than the studio one. He´s a very badass drummer!
Perfect cymbal choices. Perfect playing.
I’ve never clicked on a video so fast!! One of my favorite albums. More Forrest please!
He's always smiling when he plays which makes him an absolute joy to watch. He really loves the drums and he's really damn good at them. I know...6 months later.
Would really love these hi hats as a signature model, or just added to the Byzance lineup. They seem incredibly versatile.
That was just beautiful. I'm speechless.
Perhaps the most effortless high level performance I've seen yet. Wow, well done sir!
Glad I got to see him with Covet on SS Neverender. Great great shows
One of the best!! Can’t say enough good things about this video and Forrest in general. Love everything about this!
Forrest is the CHAMP!
The most gorgeous drummer there ever was 😍
Everything about this was incredible!
We love this guy. Drum Forrest, Drum!

This guy is the business! Love his drumming. 🤙
Love this...... I wish he was still together with Covet
