What's even more impressive is Bran is also one of their lead vocalists now and can do this shit while singing.
@Jani Pestana The verses he sings in Oblivion are harder to play on the drums than this entire song.
@@xerodelacroix5552 are you kidding me?!?! Its a simple 3/4 pattern
@irishmetalfan lul you rarted, buddy.
@irishmetalfan yes, rarted as fuck.
It's pretty insane to see live, like he actually nails it and sounds amazing.
Fun fact: Bran's main influence was Ozzy Osbourne's guitar player Randy Rhodes. He decided to play guitar the day he heard that Randy died, decided it was too hard, and picked up the drums instead. He taught himself, became badass at it, and has a drumset that's decorated with Randy Rhodes's signature white-on-black polka dot design.
Try "Brann Dailor plays Capillarian Crest (Mastodon)"
Lol that's the one that's essentially a big fill
That's exactly what I was going to suggest. The live version on The Unholy Alliance Tour, 2006

that one
Love that video, wish it had better quality
B A N A N A S !
Check out "Brann Dailor plays Capillarian Crest (Mastodon)", a more interesting song choice. Lots of creativity on the hi hat, the snare ghost notes and the ride accents.
YES
Capillarian Crest is a great example of his drumming capabilites. Also a newer version of him playing Oblivion might be worth checking out. Playing this stuff while singing is just another level and it took him quite some time to not get shaken so much while playing that the sung notes vibrate but nowadays he can do it damn good. But Capillarian Crest is probably the one for jazz drummers. It has this dynamic elements in the middle part added to the complicated rythm stuff.
On the Crack The Skye dvd, he mentions hanging out with guitarists instead of bass players so he had to follow all this busy guitar work. That explains why he’s constantly playing fills throughout most of their songs. I thought that was interesting.
brann is 6'2" so really impressive he can play on such a tight kit
Brann Dailor the entire Blood Mountain album. Every bit of that album is worth listening to closely. He, as someone else mentioned, sings lead on a lot of parts. He is a lot like Neil Peart also, in that he writes most of the lyrics, and he also conceptualizes the stories being told by the lyrics, including 3 concept albums that have great stories behind them.
Mastodon is unique in that their style is a mix of metal, progressive, sludge, punk and pop! They are amazing live!
I liked the video. Fun fact- Brann is an awesome dude, and he’s huge. Like 6’4” or taller. Brent is the shortest Mastodon member at like 6’2” haha
Really? That is a very interesting bit of trivia. ( Not being sarcastic) that is really cool.
I thought Brent was like 5'4". Prob cuz everyone is a damn giant
Wildlings, of course 🤷♂️
For me one of the best things about Bran's playing is his fills, the more I listen to Mastadon the more I realise just how drum lead they are. A lot of metal/rock bands you hear are all abou the guitars, but Mastadon sound different and it's his great fills that I really starting to pick out as I listen.
Mastodon*. But, also yes to everything you said.
@@notsure1969 Apologies Doc, I'm sure if I'd of written it one more time I'd of gotten it correct.
jim Jennings I’m pretty sure I read an interview with Brann a while back in a drum magazine that he learned drums by basically copying the guitars because he thought that was what he was supposed to do and then learned how to be the backbone to a band. I could be totally wrong though.
@@jimofthenorth8090 It's all good, bud. No harm done. Keep shreddin'!
The fills are probably the worst part about his playing. Half the songs end up being single stroke rolls
Hit the nail on the head. This is the very first song on the album. Later on they do get into that higher tempo groove that's hinted at here. And boy does that pay off. Listen through the whole album and read along with the lyrics. It's an amazing experience every time they do a concept album.
I'm not a drummer, but the thing I like about Brann's drumming is the constant fills that are really fitted around what the guitars are doing. Maybe the proper recording of the song would've made that more easily apparent.
Brann has never had a drum lesson.
He’s about 6’2”-6’3”
When I played on Brann’s kit- I found his symbols were quite a reach (I’m 6’ even).
However, that was right after Mastodon’s Remission album, so it’s possible that he moved them closer later on.
From a drummers perspective- ‘Hearts Alive’ has some good drumming...
m.ruclips.net/video/qp1dRh2FVVs/видео.html
I met him and he's as tall or taller then me and I'm 6-2
Sounds right.
If you’re into his drumming- here’s an old pre-LifesBlood demo.
20” bass, 15” floor (6-piece).
m.ruclips.net/video/TeC0DDVlPp0/видео.html
Closer to 6'4".
is not his family all musicians?
If you can find a playthrough of Iron Tusk, I remember Bran said once that it was the hardest song for him to play live.
Excellent! Check out Mario Duplantier from the band Gojira, "Toxic Garbage Island" is a great tune with feel and decent drum cam footage on RUclips 🙌
I really want to hear him pronounce his name
I'd like to see him do a video on "The Art of Dying"
Global warming live session tho
Global warning is what got me hooked on gojira. The live video. Sooooooo good
This was filmed in my hometown. The time after this that they played this venue, I got to be front row. What a show! HIGHLY RECOMMEND seeing them live!
3:18 You are correct about that, Mastodon in particular loves to mess around with time signatures, in fact, that section where you say that is 5/8+6/8
Try Leprous - Slave (live at the Rockefeller music hall)
Check out their album Crack The Skye, songs like The Czar or The Last Baron or other songs like Capillarian Crest, Hearts Alive or Asleep in the Deep. Amazing drummer and also their singer sometimes.
Check out "The Sin and The Sentence" by Alex Bent of Trivium
It's spelled wrong in your title. Should be Mastodon, not Mastadon.
DANKEY KANG
You want to hear how Brann got his start, check this out. ruclips.net/video/jEJgwsoFSUA/видео.html // He was 16 or 17 here and all the members of this band are now legends. Bill of Mastodon also on this Lethargy record.
That was great. Thanks for the link.
Interesting fact: Brann's big influence is King crimson
it sounds nothing like King Crimson drummers except maybe Michael Giles, when Giles play busy
Hey Bro dig your reactions. I'm a guitarist but love drums. Colony of Birchmen by Mastodon is nuts. They've actually got a lot of songs that are nuts. That's why I love Mastodon! Metal for musicians...
Same man
You should watch Brann Dailor - capilarian crest drum cam (more jazzy)
Oh ya another one is Inferno - The Satanist/Blow your trumpet gabriel
Cap Crest has that crazy jazz breakdown I think he'd really appreciate it.
The Satanist/Blow your trumpet gabriel is by Behemoth, just FYI.
@@gregschmidt4095 good point to clarify drummer (Inferno) from band (Behemoth)
Lol would be funny if someone think that Inferno and Brann is the same dude.
@@danmarshall5895 Also a good point... I had no idea their drummer is called Inferno. Damn metal bands with their weird naming conventions. lol
I could listen to you talk about drums all day, man. Thank you for doing this.
There's a Mastodon concert on video which contains the whole Crack the Sky album. I encourage you to watch it. ;)
Mastodon - Capillarian Crest. It's a work of genius and has loads of jazzy feel bits.
This guy is a killer drummer wowzy
S T A R G A S M mastodon
must check out for drums
Ya Brann is one o the best for sure. His kits are so simple. I love how he rolls.
In a Mastodon gig in Sydney in a small club, I could see all the guys from The Mars Volta and from other bands watching them.
And sure enough the drummers had their eyes on Brann and their jaws on the floor.
This was in Summer festival times, so a bunch of bands were around for their own side shows and went to watch each other.
"Anticipatory Feel"
Mastodon's earlier stuff ("Remission" thru "Crack the Skye" before they went full prog) always created a feel like I would call restlessness. Brann is so SO busy in those earlier records...as busy as the guitars get. I think he even mentioned that's his intention.
Most of these bands always riff along with the bass drum (is that syncopation?). Mastodon always felt inverted because of that. Fills where there should be none and straight forward where you would expect flourish. The newer stuff is getting better technically, but it doesn't feel the same.
Brann is probably the least disposable member of Mastodon....and every one of them shreds. I'm just saying how unique he is.
Another Vta County resident right here btw...salute!
This song got me into this band. I'm not a musician but the drums were an instant stand-out for me. It was like nothing I had ever heard before from "rock" music
My favorite drum cam video is Lyle Cooper of The Faceless playing planetary duality.
Mine too! ruclips.net/video/6jLXxqj8pso/видео.html
He’s fucking possessed in that.
Back when everything Brann did was fills and getting to the next fill, and before he started doing vocals with it. You should watch one of the ones from their Emperor of Sand release. Maybe Steambreather or Ancient Kingdoms.
Check out "Hearts Alive" by Mastodon. "Blood and Thunder" is very simplistic compared to most of the other songs off "Leviathan".
Brann Dailor is what would happen if a drum fill became sentient.
In RUclips years I'm pretty old at 37. This song makes me feel like a kid. It gets me so amped up.
Try Eloy Casagrande from Sepultura playing Manipulation of Tragedy, in sure that you will like.
I'm gonna second the other 100 people here saying to do "Capillarian Crest". Its nuts.
Good to hear your thoughts. Dailor's a good, tight player... Personally, I think you've got to look at Jon Theodore with The Mars Volta. Something from the first album like Drunkship of Lanterns or Inartiatic ESP, although all three of their albums he played on (De Loused in the Comatorium, Frances the Mute, and Ampitechture) are essential listening in my opinion. I always thought of The Mars Volta as a jazz band, just a really aggressive, dynamic, latin-tinged avant-rock one.
Dude, Jon is an absolute unit. I love Deloused and Frances the Mute so friggin hard. Great albums.
I really love what Brann did on Colony of Birchmen
The headbanging at 1:58 front row. excellent.
Hey man, really enjoy your perspective on metal drumming. I've watched a bunch of your videos and subbed, great stuff. I recommend checking out a drummer called Lille Gruber, a technical death metal drummer that brings a lot of jazzy stuff to his music. I'd say the drum cam of the song "A mesmerizing light" would be cool.
Thanks for the sub and rec, much appreciated.
oh yeah, lille is amazing! I think his father is also a jazz drummer, thats where he got that from... and his main musical knowledge as well, i mean he plays guitar, ppiano and composes and stuff as well, he is not just a drummer...
Brann is such an amazingly colourful drummer IMO
To answer about the kick, it’s a double kick but on a single drum
Also I’m sure someone already told you elsewhere in the comments but for future is Pronounced like “Brawn”
Can’t wait to see more mastodon and prog metal in general
George Kollias - Sacrifice unto Sebek (Intense Metal Drumming DvD)
The word you were looking for was "tension". Love your videos!
He isn't a metal drummer but Yoni Madar, absoultely mad rhythms from this guy, a massive user of hand and foot techniques
Just stumbled on your channel. Great video bud!
Brann is famously hiting on the guitar not the drums or bass thats why i love him.
I wonder if there are nice drum cam videos of Kylesa's two drummers?
Next to Danny Carey, Brann is my secone favorite drummer.
check out gavin harrison, not as hard but definitely the ghost snare and fill king
Your talking about his drum setup, I remember seeing The Destro about 20 years ago and the biggest thing I remember was the drummer looked like was playing a kid's playset. But he killed it.
Yoo what I think I was at this show, I went to college at UT. Or maybe it was a different one I know Gojira was on before them and around this time
1. Check out Aqua Dementia and Capillarian Crest, I find them more impressive than Blood and Thunder.
2. Change the title to MastOdon so you can get more views!
There's a video of Brann and Danny Carey playing together. pretty dope
Brann Dailor - the wolf is loose
- blasteroid
4:55
The old one-hander.
The ONE simple thing he does is actually my favorite lick. lol
this vid is full of feels.
Dude!! you should try with a video reaction of Nile´s drummer. Cheers!!
Bran is actually pretty tall. I met him in Indianapolis a few years ago and was really surprised at how tall he was. Love your videos man keep it up!
Awesome drummer. Also really helpful on Linus Tech Tips.
MoRe mastodon capillarian crest is a good one
Metal makes everything better.
Bobby Jarzombek - Peppered Cancer
You don't even need to be a drummer to enjoy this video!
You should check out a guy called John Longstreth.
He plays in a death metal band called Origin and he's probably the most ridiculously fast drummers around.
The thing is, he makes it all look super easy and his economy of movement is incredible.
Try other drum cams of Brann Dailor, you’ll be amazed of all his abilities.
I don't know if this is relevant to him having his kit in close, but he's a third generation professional musician and started playing drums when he was 4 years old.
Destrage-double yeah....there is a drum cam video ... Italian band that is super underrated
please return to Brann dailor capillarian crest drum cam is the best song. its the same drum studio that you done the Danny carry video on when its just him playing drums to a backing track
Do Danny Walker from Intronaut
You won't be disappointed
Intronaut kicked him out. But he is a ridiculous drummer.
"Anticipatory" .....def gunna use it
FINALLY!
This man is a beast
Funny you mention the kick pedal thing. For a while i swore he used a double kick, a buddy of mine who got me into Mastadon said he doesnt. I dont doubt he has one but what ive seen i dont think he uses it very much at all especially with their later stuff.
Use to rehearse at the same studio as Brann and Bill in Rochester NY before they moved to Atlanta . You Should checkout Brann’s old band Lethargy before Mastodon was formed.
Coma Machine by Between the Buried and Me. I know you’ve done one of their songs. I just love that intro. I could repeat that into 20 times.
Brann said in an old interview that hes not extremely proficient with the double bass so hes always focused more on tom work.
He has also said that early in his drumming days that he mostly jammed with guitarists so he would try to match what they were doing instead of locking up with a bass player.
Brann plays one kick drum - his kit is extremely small - but uses a double pedal.
Brann Dailor (Mastodon) - Black Tongue (Meinl Cymbals video).
Meinl Cymbals - Brann Dailor - "Precious Stones"
Check that one out @garrettmillerdrums. Beautiful sound and picture
Mastodon Drummer recongnices that he is very influenced by jazz drummer. He is not a common heavy metal drummer
I second those who tell you to check out Flo Mounier doing "Sire Of Sin."
Great channel, by the way.
Yeah Flo! Or the play through of Halothane Glow.
@@mrbtapir I think he'll get there. Awesome channel this.
Good to hear your thoughts. Dailor's a good, tight player... Personally, I think you've got to look at Jon Theodore with The Mars
Volta. Something from the first album like "Drunkship of Lanterns" or "Inartiatic ESP", although all three of their albums he played on (De-Loused in the Comatorium, Frances the Mute, and Amputechture) are essential listening, in my opinion. I always thought of The Mars Volta as a jazz band, just a really aggressive, dynamic, latin-tinged avant-rock one.
Since you are 6ft tall ..do you play heels down?
Mostly, yes, for jazz, light rock, etc. I also sit higher up on the throne. For heavy stuff, which I haven't regularly played in 20 years, my whole setup changes, I drop the thone, raise the drums and cymbals and I play heel up and crush the beater. When I played punk stuff I used heel/toe for the punk beats. Single pedal. I miss it.
@@garrettmillerdrums that's interesting, being that tall and keeping a low throne but you still play heels up ..I play punk and hard rock but play heels down , sometimes I wonder if my technique is gonna stop me from achieving higher tempos cuz most rock drummers I see play heel up
@@jambi666 Honestly it has more to do with how I learned. As I got taller I didn't own a throne or hardware that could go high enough and be stable playing punk and heavier music so eventually I just dropped the throne and adjusted from there. Then I got a pork pie and the stability allowed me to sit up higher for jazz and I was so comfortable with the low seat for my other stuff that I just kept doing it. I tried other setups but that's what felt best.
You definitely should try Jay Postones from Tesseract. Drumcam from Live in Athens (07 07 2019) is the best one.
Let's visit some more straightforward metal. Look up the following title so we can hear your thoughts on the Godfather of Double Bass!
Slayer - Lombardo Drum Cam Angel of Death HD (720p)
when he said "VGUGUG" i rly felt that
Brann Dailor. One of the best drummers around.
Ghost of karelia. Great drum play by Brann. We made drum video.
Pete Webber from Havok has some insane drum play through videos. Any song will be good. Can't go wrong with Havok.
Check out Blake Richardson - Silent Flight Parliament or Famine Wolf drum cams
Sorry if you've already watched this one, but I recommend the Devin Townsend Project- Failure. Drummer is Ryan Van Poederooyen. He makes good quality drum cams.
If you want to check more of Mastodon out, definitely go for Capillarian Crest as others have mentioned. It's a very demanding tune, drum-wise
I could just listen to his hi hat all day
Garret when we gonna see you play
Another great one and with foot cam is austin archey of lorna shore. His feet rival most of our hands. Double strokes!!!
You should check out August Burns Red - The Blinding Light. The drummer, Matt Greiner, performed it on the Zildjian channel, so you would actually be able to see everything he does.
