      Not only that. At one point where Devin was exhausted and thinking about just doing a pop album, it was Chad who convinced him to go the opposite direction and do something that was uncompromised. So then Dev went on to make Empath.
      Hadn't it been for Chad Kroeger, we wouldn't have Empath today! 🤘

    Brother, I'm 55 years old. I had my left leg amputated a few years ago. I started playing drums when I was 5. I just watched your reaction video on El Estepario and my jaw hit the floor just as yours. He is an amazing drummer. I had to relearn how to even sit on my throne. Its a balance thing. This guy wild. People have accused him of speeding up his videos. That was the video with the timer. And of course the comment to all the haters. My style is more towards your style. Not a lot of double bass work which I can nolonger do. 66samus hooked my up with the duelist pedal which has helped me tremendously. I just subscribed to your channel. I like your content. Keep the videos coming brother, please.

      Andrew Tkaczyk, from the band The Ghost inside, got amputated in 2015 due to a tragic accident of their tour bus. Him and his dad built a special pedal that allows him to play something like 90% of what he use to play. That story is amazing and i got to see them live, this summer, on their comeback tour. Im sharing the story, because maybe there is some way to see the building plan of the pedal and maybe it could help more people. I have worked in a physical rehab center for many years, and I always was so humbled by how many amputies are not letting their injuries define them, and are doing even more activities than some of us! big love, keep drumming

      @@jangles1839 i can't wear a prosthetic either. The Dr. took my leg just above the knee. He cut the femur so short. The bone is only 4 or 5 inches long and I have a useless gob of flesh that has absolutely no purpose. It just flops around. So I get around on crutches and a wheelchair. I had one hell of a time getting used to sitting on the throne. Lol. There is a drummer video on UA-cam, a drummer with no legs playing drums. He uses the stool leg on the bass pedal and leans back and forth. Talk about an inspiring video. Keep jammin brother.

    Disclaimer: There is a rumor doing the rounds that for however long now I've been pronouncing 66Samus wrong.
    These accusations are false. I'm from New Zealand, and as someone has already kindly pointed out... when I said 'I'VE BEEN PLAYING FOR DECADES. It sounded like 'I'VE BEEN PLAYING FOR DICKEAHDS.

    His name is Samuel, so it's actually Sam-us 😂 But loved the Sheamus 🤣
    I would love to see you react to Mario doing the song *The Way of All Flesh"
    Here's the link: ua-cam.com/video/BRuloS3LIew/v-deo.html (It's from their "The Flesh Alive" Live release. So you'll see more than just Mario.
    Keep up the good work! 🤘🏻
