literally couldnt be a more perfect replacement for a legend in Chris Adler. Really dig what this band sounds like with a new man on the throne. Love watching Mr Cruz. Sick drummer
Art Cruz is a machine. I got to meet him a while ago, i asked for a photo while he was onstage not thinking that he’d actually come down and take a photo with me, but he did and I got to talk to him a bit. Hes genuinely a nice guy. LoG is lucky to have found him.
I got to meet him at Sweetwater drum day this year, he was such a down to earth and nice guy, he told me and my mom not to rush because there was a long line. He signed all my stuff and even wished my mom a happy mothers day.
I saw Adler twice - interviewed him before the first time I saw him play - and I have seen Cruz twice. I wish nothing but the best for Adler and nothing but the best for Cruz. I started playing drums in 1980, and I am not even close to being able to play drums like either of these dudes. I guess I just don't get the point of saying drummer A is better than his replacement. Music is about chemistry between the musicians, and it's not easy to find the perfect fit.
I recall watching an interview with him, where he talks about being a showman, and doing things on purpose for people to call out like this. Dude loves his fans.
@@sebastian-gs9ff i spose counter weighting the momentum of his legs playing that double bass riff, like when you move your arms when running, hes getting more power out of his legs instead of just tightening his core.
My favorite part of this song is when Randy says, "Let freedom ring!", and Art goes hard on the bell 🤘 Such a sick performance, thank you Art for your contributions to the world of metal! 🙏
You know what I've had the CD since it came out ❤️❤️❤️ And I was just watching the drum cover of Art The freaking man CRUZ 🤘🤘🤘🤘 YOU KNOW WHAT THIS DUDE IS TOTALLY AMAZING MAN WHAT A WONDERFUL BEAUTIFUL THING TO WATCH
I've been lucky enough to see them with both Chris and Art on drums, and I can confidently say that they found the best possible person for the job. Both are absolute monstrous drummers.
At 2:52 that triplet kick pattern that mimicks the guitar is badass! I hadn't heard L.O.G. since Chris left but man I am hugely digging Art's drumming and his overall power! Glad I rediscovered them. I also love Hourglass. That song rips as well!
Acá también es spanish jajajaja , saludos desde Argentina ... Aguante Lamb !! Este loco la rompe , personalmente me gustó más el disco anterior , pero bueno , gustos son gustos . Igual Lamb , nunca decepciona !
Nada que ver con Chris.. para el que sea baterista sabe que Adler está en otro nivel ... Art Cruz solo sigue lo antes creado. Pero no tiene la creatividad ni la técnica de Adler ..
@@emanuelvaldez822 Chris es un Maestro total ! Domina el arte de la perfección ! En todos los sentidos, grabación, afinación, pegada, paciencia, disciplina, técnica y agresividad. Es mucho más que solo "Actitud". (Art Cruz)
I still think it's hilarious that I didn't know Chris Adler was no long drumming for Lamb of God until I saw live footage of their new tracks (I had the album on repeat on a streaming service😅). Art perfectly captures everything that made Lamb of God so iconic. Now that I know it's not Chris I can definitely hear the nuances in Art's playing that separates it from Chris Adler but I don't think I've ever seen a band member being replaced sound this seamless. Absolutely amazing job.
Can't wait to see Art and LoG in Bangor Maine in two days!!! With Pantera! Gonna be f'n EPIC!! 🤘 Edit:update Art... IS.... BEAST. Stole the f'n show. 🤘😭
@@jimi4454 I actually think it is now. The straight beat is actually played over the guitars in 6/8 but the drums sound like 4/4. Maybe someone can tell us.
I love watching Art drum. The fill and re-entry @ 1:17 👌🏻 … but the white walls impede stick vision from the front-on shots, making them disappear against the background. Edit : With his black gloves, it looks like he’s air drumming lol.
I have had the opportunity to see both Chris and Art live numerous times during LOG shows, they are both incredible drummers but in my opinion as much as Chris was very technical, I find Art just brings more emotion while playing. Art couldn't have been a better replacement. 🤘🤘
I'm a simple man. I see Art playing drums on the internet, I hit like.

Im gonna have to agree with you. His style fits like a glove.
Because he's copying Chris' style? lol
@@Jord02121 or he’s keeping the OG lamb of god sound that we all love?
@@Jord02121 why wouldn't he? Chris is a legend. That's the classic LOG style. You would prefer if he totally changed it up?
@@Jord02121 he is as good.fact
Can’t think of a better player to represent Ludwig in the metal scene, such a phenomenal drummer!
That cymbal set is gorgeous
HIT it like it owes you money! 🤘
3:37 that cymbal grab to cymbal fill was epic!
It's hard to replace a really good drummer. This guy is a really good fit. Super awesome.
Hes come a long way.
It’s fun to watch Art’s progression as an artist. This guy has improved so much over the past 5 years. His execution and skill set is remarkable.
Since his Azusa days

I shit you not, I’ve watched this at LEAST 40 times today. SO good 🔥🔥🔥

The way he moves his upper body along with his legs on 2:52 is freaking awesome!!!
Getting every bit of power he can! What a monster! 🤘🏻
I recall watching an interview with him, where he talks about being a showman, and doing things on purpose for people to call out like this. Dude loves his fans.
And what exactly is he doing??
lol i was just going to comment that,never seen a drummer do that,fucken rad
@@sebastian-gs9ff i spose counter weighting the momentum of his legs playing that double bass riff, like when you move your arms when running, hes getting more power out of his legs instead of just tightening his core.
I like how you can see the intensity in his playing to the point where you can even feel his chops

came to listen to the kit, fell in love with the mixing and mastering😱
Love the look of that red sparkle Ludwig! Sounds awesome. Well done, Art!
I saw them live in Chicago a couple months ago. Highly recommend you see them live. Arts playing is phenomenal

Just saw them (for the 14th or 15th time) in MKE Monday night... their set went by WAY too fast!!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘

it’s not triplets, but agreed
@@jitzwa OK. Pattern of three?
@@greghampton71 yeah groups of three sixteenth notes
Correct me if I'm wrong but I count that as 1-e-and, 2-e-and, 3-e-and. Three groups of three notes.
I've always known sixteenths to be 1-e-and-uh.
@@greghampton71 maybe you’re right, the song is in 3/4 so it may be triplets
Kickass looking drum set, kickass song and kickass drummer!!
Awesome kit and cymbal sound
Man, if you close your eyes and just listen, sounds like Chris. It's a complement. Great drummer and fun to watch.
Your the absolute man Art love watching your drumming dude.
LOVE THE HIGHHATS. Smoooth.
Big boots to fill, and they seem to fit pretty damn good.
Absolutely amazing
No other words just amazing hell yeah
Aquí todos los de habla hispana. Larga vida a "Corderos de Dios". Amén 🙏🏽
Al fin alguien de la onda 👏😎

Amazing drummer, on point, and endorsed by meinl 🎉
The most Lamb of God sounding Lamb of God song
Esse cara nao só toca, ele ama oque faz . Ai tem técnica e paixão.
Power and consistency 💪
Fast and clean.
10/10
I really like that you can hear the accidental rim shot at 0:27 it shows even the pros makes small mistakes sometimes other than that it was perfect.
I’m glad I wasn’t the only person to hear that lol I had to rewind to see what it was.
God this is just phenomenal 🤯
Been a drummer and LOG fan all my life, Art would kick Adler's ass in a drum-off . Nice work gentleman
Man’s the definition of a smooth transition 🔥
man whoever wrote these drum parts need kudos, way sick!
You create incredible fill for this band!
2024 anybody?
Hell yeh! I just seen them live in February open up for Pantera never heard them before that n now my favourite band!👌🏼👊🏼🤘🏼
1985 here
And still 🤟🏻
Siff your one of them. It's 1 year old dude.
@@liamsmith7610 Welcome to Chinese bot farm comments.
terrific playing! Might be the first metal guy I've seen rocking a Ludwig kit but they sound fantastic.
This man is an absolute beast 🤘🏻❤️
So powerfull 🤘🏼🖤🥁
Can't wait to see Art and LoG in Bangor Maine in two days!!!
With Pantera!
Gonna be f'n EPIC!! 🤘
Edit:update
Art... IS.... BEAST.
Stole the f'n show.
🤘😭
I see the set list and am praying we get the full gig drum cam before the year is out 🤞
Not too many metal songs go into 6/8 that often. Love it.
My favorite time signature to play. 🤘
The whole song is 6/8 isn't it?
@@jimi4454 I actually think it is now. The straight beat is actually played over the guitars in 6/8 but the drums sound like 4/4. Maybe someone can tell us.
It’s 3/4 at 200bpm all the way through 🤘
Is that what it is??@@robbledot7290
Flawless, sharp like a razor
Fucking sick, excellent drum track. He’s doing such a good job with lamb of god. Couldn’t be happier with Chris’s replacement.
Never thought anyone would live up to Adler, but by god this dude fills those shoes well
This guy is awesome
I just have no words!
Could have met dude at a concert in chicago waiting at an entrance for an elevator. Was too stunned to say anything lmfao. Dude kills live.
whats not to like,great drum sound
Damn brother !! Perfect fit for LOG
Absolutely killer 🔥🔥🔥
Art is a Beast!💀🤘
The ride 😍❤️🔥
I like the gloves of Sir Art Cruz
awesome drumming and very creative
more songs of lamb of god please!!!
Does anyone agree that Art Kruz and Jay Weinberg(Slipknot) have very similar styles in drumming😮😊❤❤❤
Art is the man!
Art for president
Yeah he’s incredible
Great tune Art!!
Art rules 🤘🤘🤘
alto batero! alta banda papa!!!
More please...moooooore!!
That’s a sexy kit right there
Cannot think of a better fit for LoG than Cruz. Sick drummer.
Was bummed when Chris left but not gonna lie I’ve seen them twice since then and they sound even better Art is badass!!Alder who?
Holy guacamole!!! This is next level
You earned your part
So so so good! I just want 10 minutes alone with that kit, tho lol
Makes me wanna go buy a drum kit
Bad ass drummer 💪💯🔥
So dope
amazing
Sounds very good and that’s from a Chris Adler fan.
The self titled album was awesome on its own way, but Art took off on this album! 🤘
I love watching Art drum. The fill and re-entry @ 1:17 👌🏻
… but the white walls impede stick vision from the front-on shots, making them disappear against the background.
Edit : With his black gloves, it looks like he’s air drumming lol.
Flawless work!
Hell yeah!
Just what LoG needed.
I have had the opportunity to see both Chris and Art live numerous times during LOG shows, they are both incredible drummers but in my opinion as much as Chris was very technical, I find Art just brings more emotion while playing. Art couldn't have been a better replacement. 🤘🤘
fucking beast mode Art!! incredible on every level!!
If you haven’t seen him on his drumeo episodes watch them immediately.
Damnnnn! This song ROCKS!!!🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘 Art Cruz a.k.a BEAST MODE, GODZILLA🦖 ON DRUMS.🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
If I were a moderator, I would delete this post!
@@PurpleDreki BUT you're not so stfu
Art’s sound is really perfect for LOG, he just don’t replaced Chris Adler but added extra new flavor onto it
nah man, Chris' drumming is unique
Chingon!!! 🤘🏼
“He isn’t as good as Chris”
They said.
“He doesn’t have the same punch.”
They also said.
They were wrong. Art is a master of his craft.
🔥🔥🔥
Slays 🤘🔥🤘
2:52. How did he know that's how I move my arms at that part...
Insane. Speed.
Triple beaten pulse
Unfuckingbelievable.
beast perform!!!!!
I'll forever be a Chris Adler widow but this song went really well with Art's drumming
Master
Man, what a missed opportunity for a foot-cam at 2:52 - 3:02 ...... Dude has the heel-toe on lock!
Freaken siiiiick
Beast!!! 💥
