One thing I definitely do admire about Troy's playing is that despite being obviously very technically advanced, his chops are very tasteful. Never feels like overplaying, regardless of the type of song. Just pay attention to the very little and subtle things he adds over this cover playthrough.
He's got the most fluid technique I've ever seen, I swear no one moves like him, not even the GOATs, I could watch him play without sound for hours, that moeller technique on the left hand is so graceful it's insane, he's even opening his hand before he strikes when he hits from high up, that's how relaxed his hand is
+Titouan Pierce You know you're good when you can just casually throw a polyrhythm on top of a Matt Garstka track because you weren't quite having enough fun
I saw this guy yesterday at Sub89 in Reading, UK playing with Plini and some of the other guys from INTERVALS, he gave me his broken stick at the end of his set, met him after the show, not only is he the best drummer I'll ever see live but one of the most humble and down to earth people I've ever met. One of the best nights of my life
I've watched this so many times.. so. many. times.. I'll probably watch it a bunch more. On top of ridiculous technical ability, amazing feel, and every other thing. He hits his drums like they owe him money. Everything is so amazingly deliberate.
Man, couldn't agree more! and I actually LOLed on the part about the money hahahaha I dunno how many times I rewatched this masterpiece during these 6 six, and dunno how more times I will, just like you said
That little warmup fill at 3:17. Dude, I rewatched it 10 times. So. Effing. Good. Shoutout to the 31 people that don’t appreciate how incredible of a drummer you are. You people new here orrrrr?
Man from 0:50 to 1:00 i litterally got goosebumps. Insane drumming skills, i don't even know how achieving such perfect control is even possible. Great job.
Hey Troy I've been watching your videos for a while now maybe about 3 years and I just wanted to say you're a huge inspiration to me you've shown me that you can accomplish so much more with such a simple set up and you're video lessons really help a lot, since I can't really read music that well you make it easier to understand. Thanks Troy!
Way more natural and loose when compared to other covers around, it even has some details in playing that make it tastier than the albums version lol Awesome!!
loved the freestyle at the end. need more of that in everyone's drum videos, it's really nice to see what flows out of people organically without being bound by the song! really awesome!
Biggest compliment to all weather channels around the world. Although, I don't hear any similarities. Maybe that's because I've not seen any weather channel in about a decade :D
the most beautifully intricate weather you can imagine. very similar to lightning during a blizzard, but the lightning is constant and it crawls over every inch of visible sky and the snow is falling at a gorgeously hypnotic rate
Theres some drummers that are just enjoyable to watch. The music and rhythm seem to flow. There's something so satisfying about the long powerful strokes (pun definitely not intended) that make it seem like these songs are actually easy to play. Some drummers may be incredibly talented and technical, but they look almost uncomfortable while they play, like they can barely keep up.
Can't get enough of this song. Your cover is so fkin tasty, I'm drooling. Drummers like you give me the motivation to keep going and I keep getting better. Thanks a lot!

Wow, That snare sound is incredible! I also love your playing and how you added your own creative input, rather than playing it note for note. Everything is top notch. I wish I lived in AU so I could study with you.
Damn Troy!! You make this song look and sound so easy!! hehe. Still trying to get my head around it!!! Don't know where the colour ran off too!! Enjoy your tour if your reading this!!!
Him, his drumset, a stage and this song looped from 3:54 to 4:54... set it up and I will seriously buy tickets to watch this guy just play until he runs outta gas. SUPER deep pocket on this groove man. Exceptional playing.
Excellent and soooooooooo tight with the original performance. I was surprised at how loud the original drums were in the mix when he improvised different fills because there's basically no flamming whatsoever. Unreal.

it's funny because I watched Matt Gartska's playthrough and it sounded like he was overplaying to me while Troy's just sounds really good.

Very well said
As if playing AAL wasn't hard enough, you add a polyrhythmic beat on top. That right there, is talent.
+Titouan Pierce
Guy is insane.
+Titouan Pierce he actually has a video of him doing a polyrhythmic groove on top of this groove. you should check it out. it's mind blowing.
+Titouan Pierce You know you're good when you can just casually throw a polyrhythm on top of a Matt Garstka track because you weren't quite having enough fun
hahahahaha....thats funy!
He worked really hard on getting a whole range of polyrhythms over a loop of this track, it's a great video to watch if you haven't already! :)

You captured the groove of the song perfectly. Such a smooth, well played, mixed, and edited cover - great work Troy!

You're one in a million on UA-cam! Real drum sound, no triggers, pure real playing... Man, I love to watch your videos.
3:16 - 3:34 💪🏼⚡️👽
Hola :>
Luke holland already cover it.
Man，you should do a version of this
@@leereylem7420 luke holland version is far behind this one
Dang, man. You break my brain with every video you post. Truly one of the best on UA-cam. Keep it up!
Lol Luke , I see you everywhere in the comments haha...By the you do really good covers too , Love your work.
my god the sound of your toms in this is absolutely amazing.
You should cover language 1 and 2 by the contortionist
+Blake Warrens Yes!
+Blake Warrens It's got my vote. Would love to see that!
+Blake Warrens I also would like to see this. i got 1 down pat but the polyrhythms in 2 are fucking so hectic!
Get this to the top of the comments!!!!
+Blake Warrens Would love to see Thrive, maybe even more than language 1 and 2!
One of my favorite drummers great style
I love his own twist he puts to this song. Such a beast
Those groupings of threes at 2:46 is insane man.
That snare could crack a castle of glass
This guy never ceases to amaze me.
Those ghost notes just go so hard throughout the whole cover, awesome technique
Can I just say the mix and the total sound is so much better now. OMG
New Meshuggah album out... get to work boi
RIP

2:18 this parts gives me chills everytime
Looking forward to your cover of Nostrum!
Way more natural and loose when compared to other covers around, it even has some details in playing that make it tastier than the albums version lol Awesome!!
TROY! YOU KILLED IT!
+JohTheDrummerFreak He sure did Joh!!!
+JohTheDrummerFreak When do we get to see you cover more AIL?? Your Tooth and Claw cover was amazing, Joh!
loved the freestyle at the end. need more of that in everyone's drum videos, it's really nice to see what flows out of people organically without being bound by the song! really awesome!
Loved how you switched it up and added your own variations over matts playing
This guy's hand technique is astounding! He has the most control I've ever seen next to Matt Garstka... how?!
Another flawless victory from the amazing Troy Wright. I would never expect anything less 😎
that might be THE PERFECT STACK combo.
Jonathan Lanoy what is in the stack? :)
This song sounds like the weather channel
I love it though :)
+TheMeatballMen wow damn it..this is all i'm gonna think about when i hear this song. haha
Dude, if the weather channel had music this good, i'd watch a lot more of it! lol

Sounds like Cloudy with a chance of meatballs to me.
Great cover, really well played and grooved. Your own fills and embellishments really brought the song even more alive but weren't overplayed.

There simply are no better drum covers on UA-cam than yours. So smooth that it hurts!!!
Absolutely dominant! Thank you for sharing your talents with us, Troy!
The groove is strong with this one.
Insane. Made me fall in love with this song
Can't get enough of this song. Your cover is so fkin tasty, I'm drooling. Drummers like you give me the motivation to keep going and I keep getting better. Thanks a lot!

Wow. Really great job Troy. Super impressed with this one. Great video as well. Those polyrhythms were stellar! Keep up the great work sir!
The rolls at 3:25 - holy crap
"This man has done his homework.

Him, his drumset, a stage and this song looped from 3:54 to 4:54... set it up and I will seriously buy tickets to watch this guy just play until he runs outta gas. SUPER deep pocket on this groove man. Exceptional playing.
