Wow great interview!! Thank you
As a lady audio tech its good to see others!🤠💖Eventhough I'm just at my church
Tremendous bro. 🤘🏻
Hoogie is the mannnn! :P
yoooooooooooo
Great video just let your man talkkkkkk. Poor dude started saying so many things that he never finished because of the interruptions.
It take a GREAT CANADIAN man like him to show the world that we are there as musician and tech (canadian) dont Forget about US!!!!!!!!
Still a gaint douche
Great insight as always :-) How about leaving the instagram screenshots on screen a little longer while the interviewee talks about them?
Started watching this thinking I’d see Grady get interviewed… but it didn’t happen. Great in depth video though! Can’t wait to see more of these.
5:45 "I'm not gonna allow a failure of any gear piece during a show" tells it all!!
Can someone way smarter and more experienced than me tell me why folks don't just use a drum dial to dial in drum tuning?
25mins?! Nice!!!!!
The drum vault reminds me of a big video production, traveling case where the front door just comes off, connect your cabling in the back and "ready to roll!"
Great job Able! Bless the Gods every day for how lucky you are!
Awesome! Fabulous! What a shame so many concert-goers don't know what it takes to give them such a good show. Cheers to you, brother!
Another hemisphere? 😢
I have been my own drum tech for 50 years 😉
such a great interview with one of the GOATS of the drum tech biz, I've learned a lot from him over the years!!
I love the behind-the- band tech stuff! Thanks
A big thank you from sweden 👍👍👍👍👍👍🤘🤘🤘🤘
Awesome Bro keep up the good work 🥁
That’s what I’m trying to do. I love the drums. I play the drums. I’m a stagehand and get to work with drums. I’ve worked with most everyone you’ve interviewed. One day I’ll be a tech
I miss Brent's videos from Gibraltar. Glad he's back from the hiadeus
Stop asking questions and then trying to answer yourself!!
I’m just out here trying my best. Sorry it’s not up to par for you. I’m still learning. If you feel like you can do it better you should definitely go out there and do it.
@@ThisIsDeLaCruz it was a good interview... don't listen to the haters.
@ 🙏🙏🙏
@ThisIsDeLaCruz if you take the time to do all this, then you should try to improve. Asking a question and then answering yourself makes it ackward, you literally cut off the drum tech a few times. Telling me that I should go do it if I think I can do it better is immature and stupid.
@thousandwattflowerpot5419 I'm not a hater, he needs to just ask a question and wait for the drum tech answer. Then he can follow up with his own thing.
Michael is the best in the biz! 🙌🏼🥁🙏🏼
Dude knows his shit!
Hiya MM❤ How is little Betty? Hope you are well, Penny and Steve xx
Great episodio
🙏
@@ThisIsDeLaCruz support from Puerto Rico
@@Gerardo-qk3ed thank you for the support!!
What a top bloke
MM is the master drum tech and i was lucky enough to have him tech for me during the recording of the last album i did with my former band. Great guy too!!! (Thanks again buddy)
Very cool!
That's awesome, I've been a huge fan of MotoXXX for so many years watching Twitch and Scummy back in the day and the rest of the Metal Mulisha crew.
Great interview! Michaels the man!
Agreed!! 🐐
Watching 2 drum GODS all the time..blessed right there…that’s it man right place right time for sure…DW all the way…I’m a drum tech for a band,Smaller than his bands hahaha,but I take pics of the drumset and where everything goes,All the settings on his mixer,keep things clean and tight (not to tight),keep a key,gaff and duct tape always on hand,don’t forget to put out set lists if that’s your job as well…( I did that live on mtv one time hahah)and keep the drummer happy…that’s my drum tech tips
dw is shit 🤮 🤮 🤮 🤮 🤮 🤮 🤮 🤮 🤮 🤮 🤮 🤮 🤮 🤮 🤮 🤮 🤮
Nope
@@James.ceta14 I usually only hear that from people that can’t afford them. Like every other drum company, DW has an entry level kit (PDP), which is just that, entry level. Yamaha has Stage Custom’s, Pearl has Forum. But all the high end kits are well worth the money. You get what you pay for.
I really enjoyed hearing the knowledge this guy has. Great questions! Well Done 🤘🤘
Glad you enjoyed it!

Behringer DIs are fantastic at holding things up... including shows.
DRUM TECH FOR PANTERA TRIBUITE BAND U MENT TO SAY, right? mean NO DIS TO Pantera best cover band, or to the crew, fans, yet THAT AINT PANTERA, oh & JOHN THE KAT THE BEST DUDE BROOKS IS WAS & WILL ALWAYS HOLD THAT TITLE OF PANTERAS DRUM TECH
That’s my boy right there!
And Russo is an AWESOME freaking drummer too!!
Mike is amazing
You should just call your Instagram segment, "What is this?"
🤣😂🤣
Blair is a great guy and engineer. Dope interview!
Kaleo, one of the best concert I have ever heard. Audio and mix was so clean, I could eat of of it
25:00 It's an unfortunate reality that finding people who care is where we have set the bar. So many people want to show up and collect a paycheck, but to really thrive in this industry you need to love what you are doing.
Jesus is Lord, love this!
It’s too cold out a DI box stuff out and come straight out of the action system, but look at my giant rack, analogue gear hypocrite
Absolutely ridiculous go back to the studio man all you’re trying to do is build a studio out there on the road and this is what’s gone wrong with the live sound today is every studio guy is out on the road because they don’t know how to deal just stupid and ridiculous
The one and only snapascrew!
I once seen Blair wrestling little people
