Its easy to tell that august burns red was highly influencial to texas in july. In a 2009 video it shows adam and texas's then guitarist play covering an abr song. Abr was like texas in july's idol band. So they wanted to be just like them. Thats why both bands are basically one in the same.
As a drummer from Lancaster PA...it doesn't get better than Adam or Matt. They both can play eachother's sets if they need to fill in...and HAVE. We all just wanna be them🤣🤣
GOD this guy is fantastic to watch.. any drummer is fun to watch (im a guitar player but use to play drums) but Adam with all the tricks its soo interesting
love this band and adam is such an inspiration! i wish i had more work on my left leg its still kinda weak and cant pedal that accurate, anyone know any exercises i can do? please message me :) thanks!
Are you kidding me? He is using basically all of his calf muscles. I play the same way so I know. Heels HIGH up. Plus look at 3:55. He is going pretty fast. It takes a lot of leg power to produce such high speeds with no triggers.
its not plugged into the throne, its taped up to avoid swaying while he's playing. From the looks of it, you can see the headphones connect to a black wire (where the tape is) which leads to the instrument feedback (little black box) and ipod/click track (you can see him pressing it @ 5:07)
No idea!But the Scream the Prayer tour came through cornerstone fest the last year,it was them,Norma Jean,ummm the Chariot,I the breather,and some other bands.It made me excited because this was Cornerstones last year!Bummer!
you could do what i usually do...when youre driving in your car anywhere play the bass with your left foot....over the past few months ive been doing that and to be honest its just as good if not better than my right foot. there are times when i can only play the bass part with my left foot cause i practice it so much in the car haha
It is probably actually run through in-ear monitors from their front of house sound guys. So it probably isn't a specific click track. (My guess but not 100%)
I tried it, if you master it is honestly great, you save energy at high speeds and thus you can do it for longer. Very good technique great for high BPM 16 note beats on Doubles bass.
lol dude i dont think its safe hahah what if accidentally believe its a double pedal and i crash or something haha but i might try that! how about getting my left hand faster at blast beats? thanks for the advice :)
@vanish45 its not its just recorded on a camera. listen to their albums and youll hear its obvs a good china. plus, its adam gray, do you honestly think hes got a poor china...?
This video is amazing!! Great quality, and of course, goddly drumming by Adam!! He's such an inspiration :) Defz putting this on my favorites buddy, thanks!!
yeah i know i think im going to try doing that i just need the strength so i can play consistent i can do all the stick tricks and fills he can but my pedal screw me over :/
if you think about it though he is really is playing the pattern the way you would on your hands without doubling his right foot or really without double stroking either feet
Its probably a wireless reciever, rather than clipping it to his trousers, where it will get in the way, its taped to the seat,. The click track is sent wirlessly to the reciever ant to the monitors. ( just my idea) :)
![Adam Gray - August Burns Red - Composure [Drum Cam]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/8uMw0JWEPz4/mqdefault.jpg)
Watched this video plenty of times. Need to finally comment and say how much I love it. Adam’s drumming and style is out of this world.
2019 and still watching this
Also in 2020
in love with the way he plays drums. he has as much fun as he did when he first played it seems.
So he leads with both feet. goddam.
2022 still watching this, adam still good energy 🔥
Honestly the best way to see this band is from this view.. the drummer takes the show
This video never gets old.
I’ve watched this several times and I’m finally commentating. You guys captured a masterpiece. Thank you
that fill 2:18 still gets me 11 years later
2021, still in awe.
Never gets old
this Drummer is AMAZING!
Adam Gray and Matt Greiner are the drum gods.
You just don't want this video to end!
Adam Grey uses the toms more than I gave him credit for.
Its easy to tell that august burns red was highly influencial to texas in july. In a 2009 video it shows adam and texas's then guitarist play covering an abr song. Abr was like texas in july's idol band. So they wanted to be just like them. Thats why both bands are basically one in the same.
I mean I wouldn't say idol band. Same city, same practice basement.
They were more like brother bands.
I tottally agree with you.. after all,,they werw only one month away..
As a drummer from Lancaster PA...it doesn't get better than Adam or Matt. They both can play eachother's sets if they need to fill in...and HAVE. We all just wanna be them🤣🤣
@@xxShowtime95xx lol I feel like I might know you 😂😂 also as a drummer from Lancaster, not Lan-caster lol, it really doesn't get better than them!
@@xxShowtime95xx this is very true
i cant wait to finally see them live next week,
GOD this guy is fantastic to watch.. any drummer is fun to watch (im a guitar player but use to play drums) but Adam with all the tricks its soo interesting
this is nuts, he's SO talented!!!!
I'm in total awe....just...wow...
3:03 best intro to a breakdown ever!
That robot looks very realistic
my favorite drummer ever :)
Their hearts probably beat in sync with the click track to "Hook, Line and Sinner" by now from the amount of times they have played it over the years.
Just flawless.
whose here in 2020 missing this band?!?!?!
beautiful kit!!
3:34 to 3:41 was absolutely beautiful
I'll never forget this day.
Whenever I have a chance to see TIY live again, I'm sure I'll buy a ticket for this premium position.
no manches que chingon hermano!! me gustaria aver ido! T.T.. ojala pronto tengan fechas en mexico!.
Adam is such a tight drummer. Glad to see im no the only person that has a crazy right ankle position compared to their left foot.
TheCaboose36 I'm the other way around 😂
Swivel Technique, cheers mate.
Ive never been much into TIJ but after watching Adam, good Lord...
this is art
1:55
im just gonna casually throw this drumstick behind my back and hope for the best
DAAAAAANG! Look how tiny he use to be!
Dude's a f'n BEAST now....exactly like his drumming!
🤘😝🤘
Only an American would call him tiny at that size.
Sad.
Jesus Christ the China is the ultimate break down cymbal. It just adds that bounce that makes breakdowns and beatdowns SO easy to thrash to.
love this band and adam is such an inspiration! i wish i had more work on my left leg its still kinda weak and cant pedal that accurate, anyone know any exercises i can do? please message me :) thanks!
The perfect drummer
Are you kidding me? He is using basically all of his calf muscles. I play the same way so I know. Heels HIGH up. Plus look at 3:55. He is going pretty fast. It takes a lot of leg power to produce such high speeds with no triggers.
Istg drummers are athletes
The fill @ 1:18 is like ridiculous tight, haha he's awesome! Love his cymbals too!
@ARiteOfPassage this made my day
its not plugged into the throne, its taped up to avoid swaying while he's playing. From the looks of it, you can see the headphones connect to a black wire (where the tape is) which leads to the instrument feedback (little black box) and ipod/click track (you can see him pressing it @ 5:07)
Awesome video
Its called the swivel technique, basically helps build momentum and rhythm in your feet. George Kolias also does it.
wow this is nuts
No idea!But the Scream the Prayer tour came through cornerstone fest the last year,it was them,Norma Jean,ummm the Chariot,I the breather,and some other bands.It made me excited because this was Cornerstones last year!Bummer!
I met him at I'm Alive tour!!!
damn best ever grayyy
does he use normal headphones for the metronome? or are their isolating headphones that also play music?
you could do what i usually do...when youre driving in your car anywhere play the bass with your left foot....over the past few months ive been doing that and to be honest its just as good if not better than my right foot. there are times when i can only play the bass part with my left foot cause i practice it so much in the car haha
Adam Gray is The Terminator
It is probably actually run through in-ear monitors from their front of house sound guys. So it probably isn't a specific click track. (My guess but not 100%)
Texas in July and August burns red have that similar style of drums
That's because Matt taught Adam broski :) They jam together loads now!!
soooo good
i really wanna know how he's set up his click track. it looks like his monitors are plugged into something taped onto his seat? any ideas?!
OMFG \m/
Adam Gray my favourit drummer
I tried it, if you master it is honestly great, you save energy at high speeds and thus you can do it for longer. Very good technique great for high BPM 16 note beats on Doubles bass.
I love how he barely uses his legs for the pedalwork, mostly ankles. Such a technical player :)
WOW!
4:10 is so impossibly beast
What kind of camera did you use?
lol dude i dont think its safe hahah what if accidentally believe its a double pedal and i crash or something haha but i might try that! how about getting my left hand faster at blast beats? thanks for the advice :)
very nice, good drummer...
@vanish45 its not its just recorded on a camera. listen to their albums and youll hear its obvs a good china. plus, its adam gray, do you honestly think hes got a poor china...?
cant tell if he is left footed or right footed?
sun burn ouuuhhh yehs!!
This video is amazing!! Great quality, and of course, goddly drumming by Adam!! He's such an inspiration :)
Defz putting this on my favorites buddy, thanks!!
Anyone else realize this was filmed in Texas in the month of July? Lol, Texas in July.
this guy is a decent drummer. people are so easily amazed.
Baka!
3:55 what the **** o.O Crazy how his feet just "flow"
anyone know what that click is called he is using??
Chris's hair is awesome
isnt this the all starts tour? 0_o
yeah i know i think im going to try doing that i just need the strength so i can play consistent i can do all the stick tricks and fills he can but my pedal screw me over :/
Why is this a video response to System Of A Down?
@ArizonaLocalBands My thoughts exactly. I love how he was just grooving to that part like it's a piece of cake. lol
awesome
Fucking amazing drummer!
how'd u get backstage? :P
how thinks that they should do the concerts with him at the front of the stage instead of at the back? i do!
@H1GhVoL7aGe mmmm gotta try learning that looks fucken sick. is that 16 beats for that part?
if you think about it though he is really is playing the pattern the way you would on your hands without doubling his right foot or really without double stroking either feet
Nice !!!
there is no learning adams insaneness
0:14 left footing like a boss
wow !
He's a knight rider of drums!
This is the best way to get tanned!! :D
OH MY GOODNESS WAS THIS CORNERSTONE FEST?!!
Fuckin perfect drummer
4:11 The coolest way to hit cymbals.
Its probably a wireless reciever, rather than clipping it to his trousers, where it will get in the way, its taped to the seat,. The click track is sent wirlessly to the reciever ant to the monitors. ( just my idea) :)
still GOAT
@Fr1dl is 1000 lies & hook line & sinner
3:55 !!!!!! oh my god!!
What's those shoes?
00:14 - Left foot takes over while right foot takes a rest, very nice.
@MooreKiller666 that was a perfect show dude :D
