What I like about this video is that he is a good looking dude wearing regular cloths and it doesn't seem that he carries his drum key in a overly crowded key chain or his practice pad and sticks to his dates. The dude described comes and plays a perfect rendition. If you met him at a party, you would never guess. Bravo!
@PUNKYMEFISTO I played along to the track mate... so my guess is going to say the snare you can here at 1:29 is the drummer that played on the original song... .... .
Really inspirational... I've watched thousands of drumming videos over the past few years and I have to say this is one of the best performances I've seen. Well felt and perfectly compliments the music. I find so many drummers with lots of technique tend to struggle playing soulfully, with feel and energy. So damn refreshing!
I was literally already confused when you started tapping in the beat with your hi-hat. I couldn't even do that, let alone the rest of the song. I love your video's!
Christ! Absolutely blown away! Not just by this song but by every single cover you do! Think I need to start stacking my HHX Ozone with an old crash that I don't use anymore! That combo sounds bad ass!
I keep asking myself "how is Troy gonna top his last video??" and then a video like this one is uploaded! Simply amazing my friend! You are, without a doubt, my favorite drummer right now! Keep up the great work! Cheers!! :) Also,at 3:15...those fills are DRUMTASTIC!!
Dude, those cymbals...perfect sound and combination. I like the setup too, with the splashes so close to the hats, and the stack in the center. oh yeah you are also good at drums
I've been studying your technique for a while now because I've been into this kind of playing since I heard tool for the first time when I was very young. Been playing for 9 years now and I play in the band ocean of mirrors in portland. Just wanted to let you know, since tuning into your videos I've improved vastly on my technique. Keep up the good work!
To be really honest man, i am not into playing drums, nor do i know even a single thing about them playing, but one thing that i know is that this track is one of the most talented tracks i've ever heard!! Even more than that, i know it very well that AAL is one godly band!! Their compositions are out of this world, and i thought no one can cover them... But after looking at you playing, of all tracks "weightless", that too drums, seriously dude, i am sooo not surprised!! Thank you so much!
Love how always people are saying that this or that drummer plays the part so good that he should become drummer of the band. I don't know if most of you guys realise, but there is a HUGE difference when we're talking about playing a written piece, or being creative and constructing your own musical pieces. Mr. Wright plays the drums very juicily, but I think a lot of people underestimate what it means to be in a band and make your own shit. Still, a kickass cover ;)
Dude your drumming is so inspirational. It's nice to see actual skill and musicianship in drumming videos instead of super fancy production value and drumming for the looks (cough cough Ricky Ficarelli). Why you don't have a much larger following is RIDICULOUS!!!
Troy.. You have to be pretty much my favourite person ever! I was obsessed enough with your Tempting Time cover, now this too. I love your new cymbals too, they sound incredible! :) I think you should do Song Of Solomon next.. :P
@mwb78 I found them to be a little heavier than the stock beaters. The stock beaters also chew down quite fast. The quad beaters give more slap and click as well
That stick flip into the cross stick was beautiful
Ben Rice my exact thoughts
It was so nice he did it twice
It's one thing to play a song like this accurately. But to do it with such power and finesse at the same time... just amazing!
What I like about this video is that he is a good looking dude wearing regular cloths and it doesn't seem that he carries his drum key in a overly crowded key chain or his practice pad and sticks to his dates. The dude described comes and plays a perfect rendition. If you met him at a party, you would never guess. Bravo!
You're combination all of the characteristic I love:
Power, technique, speed and coordination.
The drumming at the end of this just puts a perfect finish to this album. Love it!!
Watching you play literally makes me happy and gives me hope
@PUNKYMEFISTO I played along to the track mate... so my guess is going to say the snare you can here at 1:29 is the drummer that played on the original song... .... .
What makes this video better than any other is the that fact that he side-sticks properly.
I'm a guitarist, but I keep coming back to your videos, it's so fun to watch you play!
probably on the top 10 list of best drummers in the world right now
You play some damn good tracks man, and always with a bit of your own flair. Love your work.
Jesus H. Christ. Troy is the best drummer on youtube by FAR. Screw Cobus and Luke Holland, this Aussie takes the crown in my opinion.
Really inspirational... I've watched thousands of drumming videos over the past few years and I have to say this is one of the best performances I've seen. Well felt and perfectly compliments the music. I find so many drummers with lots of technique tend to struggle playing soulfully, with feel and energy. So damn refreshing!
1:30 no way hes playing that roll
Those snare shots are so darn satisfying.
1:29 is honestly one of the most beautiful transitions I've ever seen performed by a live drummer...spot on, man!
This deserves all the views on UA-cam combined. No one in their right mind would ever dislike this.
The awkward moment when this cover has more views than the original version!
Love this cover
I'm really late here... but I had to watch it again... Cogratulations, man! You are a huge talent!
mr. wright, you are a joy to watch on dem drums. keep the videos coming, i love watching them.
amazing just amazing. timing and all that jazz.
This is the best drumming video on youtube. Hands Down.
your stick control and accuracy is absolutely brilliant! your ghost notes are so good, brilliant!
Yea Troy, is a freaking beast PERIOD!!!!!!!
absolutely amazing Troy! Your fills are so awesome and you have the such good feel for all the songs you play. I love seeing new videos from you.
INCREDIBLE, your flips to cross-sticking were SO smooth, and the drum solo section was just genius. You win.
Ok. This is the most awesome drum-video for this great song!
Can't stop watching this. Been watching it since the day it was posted, each day at least once >
You are one of my biggest inspirations on drums right now
I really love that bleed bit that you play in the solo.
I cried tears of joy when I saw you uploaded a new video..
i dont know how should i describe this wilderness...i LOVE it!!!!!!!!!
Absolutely fantastic job as always. Every one of your drum parts is a masterpiece
I think that it's impossible to play drums any better than this. Seen this many times and it's always amazing :D
That left foot is AMAZING! Awesome!
love how your pedals are so RESPONSIVE!!!!!
I was literally already confused when you started tapping in the beat with your hi-hat. I couldn't even do that, let alone the rest of the song. I love your video's!
Christ! Absolutely blown away! Not just by this song but by every single cover you do! Think I need to start stacking my HHX Ozone with an old crash that I don't use anymore! That combo sounds bad ass!
I've been watching a lot of your vids and this track was by far your tightest, hands down!!'!!!!!! Keep em coming
Amazing work man. Truely a fantastic recording and display of professionalism. Highly enjoyed it
5 years ago you gave me a tab when I was studying in school, I just want to say Thankyou. I'm teaching now :)
Mate, I liked all your videos, but I think this is the best one so far. Ultra amazing!
I keep asking myself "how is Troy gonna top his last video??" and then a video like this one is uploaded! Simply amazing my friend! You are, without a doubt, my favorite drummer right now! Keep up the great work! Cheers!! :)
Also,at 3:15...those fills are DRUMTASTIC!!
amazing job! this is now one of my all time favorite videos on youtube.
I was smiling the whole way through
I watched this, went off and did a practice, and suddenly I was playing things I have never played before. Your vids are magic! xD
Simply awesome, as always..!
Dude, those cymbals...perfect sound and combination. I like the setup too, with the splashes so close to the hats, and the stack in the center. oh yeah you are also good at drums
troywright never disappoints, best youtube drummer out there!
This guy is amazing, he deserves more notoriety and a great band!
Yes to this! Absolutely one of a kind incred. Can't wait till I can follow you in a band, dude.
The accents you're doing on the hihhat with your left foot are great! I'm stealing that move
It's nice knowing an Aussie has the best drum covers on youtube. You also look like Daniel Mortimer from the Roosters.
Brilliant play! Bravo!
Holy crap that was one of the best cover I've ever seen, I love your style!!
You should have been on the album and touring.......ABSOLUTLEY AMAZING.......
I still get goosebumps when I watch this! Amazing ending :D
and cant wait for your TesseracT videos!!
Great job!!! that was really fun to watch!
very smooth and clean

SICK dude..
best AAL drum cover i've ever seen
Damn I remember this one like it was yesterday!! Good old days bro
To be really honest man, i am not into playing drums, nor do i know even a single thing about them playing, but one thing that i know is that this track is one of the most talented tracks i've ever heard!! Even more than that, i know it very well that AAL is one godly band!! Their compositions are out of this world, and i thought no one can cover them...
But after looking at you playing, of all tracks "weightless", that too drums, seriously dude, i am sooo not surprised!! Thank you so much!
Brilliant! I really enjoyed this cover!!
SUCH AUTHORITY! 😮💪
It's insane. You make it look SO easy!
Luuuuuuv this one.
Awesome job!
please do more animals as leader covers they are great and inspirational i know most people will agree with me thanks peace and love
Totally beast cover man. You're rolling with two of my favourite cymbals in my collection, Legacy Heavy Ride and Legacy Ride. Unbelievable cymbals!
Dayum! that "reverse-hold-buzz-roll" at 1:30 was smooth as hell!
I have been watching you for days now and there is seriously no rock prog drummer out there that you can't interpret! If there is then God exists
Love how always people are saying that this or that drummer plays the part so good that he should become drummer of the band. I don't know if most of you guys realise, but there is a HUGE difference when we're talking about playing a written piece, or being creative and constructing your own musical pieces.

Still, a kickass cover ;)
Troy Wright definitely deserves more attention. NOT those drummers who cover lady gaga or other hip hop songs........
Amazing cover, man, I love the tone of your snare!
just simply amazing. Im sitting here just dumb founded with that cover.
You are my second favorite drummer Troy Wright!!
I usually don't enjoy drum covers, but this was amazing. Very impressive job, dude.
Time signature : 3/8 or 3/16 . Troy , after I saw this , I have to say , you did this cover beautifully!
I love how you're keeping a quarter note hi-hats at 1:53. Awesome.
I kinda wish you were the one to step in for Navene...
From 3:00 on is pure eargasm. Excellent groove and coordination!
dude ... absolutely amazing.
100% spot on. Amazing.
these covers are so good dude!
Perfect!!!! that's tha word, is a perfect drum cover.
Love that outro - well played sir
I don't think there's a better sounding drumkit on youtube, everything just souns so damn tasty! :D
I thoroughly enjoyed this.
Dude your drumming is so inspirational. It's nice to see actual skill and musicianship in drumming videos instead of super fancy production value and drumming for the looks (cough cough Ricky Ficarelli). Why you don't have a much larger following is RIDICULOUS!!!
That grip switch @2:45 was so smooth.
This is fantastic!
Best sounding snare on UA-cam.
Troy.. You have to be pretty much my favourite person ever! I was obsessed enough with your Tempting Time cover, now this too. I love your new cymbals too, they sound incredible! :) I think you should do Song Of Solomon next.. :P
I like this better than the original version.
Fantastic! VERY well done once again.
Incredible work man, those legacy's sound super nice too
Outstanding skills mate, keep it up..
Love how you just keep playing at the end :D
Gotta love Sabian cymbals. Best sounding cymbals. They all got a depth and heavy feel to them whatever size
They definitely make the best hihats. Crashes and rides are pretty good, but I'd rather Meinls for those. Aaand their chinas just kinda suck.
Damn man, that was pretty fucking impressive! And the cool you play it with, incredible.
Amazing performance!
@mwb78 I found them to be a little heavier than the stock beaters. The stock beaters also chew down quite fast. The quad beaters give more slap and click as well
