Can you imagine what their household might have been like? I imagine all of the brothers were doing everything they could to bring the best out in each other’s playing.
Yes, the Wackerman is a family of great drummers. Brooks is the brother of John and Chad who are two great drummers and their father Chuck is also a drummer. A family of great drummers. 😊
Damn, 0:23 he has a clamp on the outside of those hats for nobody! Sweet detail for those tight sounding hats🤘🤘 Solid video, really cool to see him talk about the kit!
I believe that those are smaller hats that were custom made for him for the song. They look smaller than the ones in the other videos. At the very end you can see his drum tech coming to switch hats at the end of the song. I love that sound and I wanna know what it is
you brings A7X to the next outstanding level mr! 🔥 you're complex fills,skills and energy truly inspired me..& prove us that AGE is just a NUMBER 👑 Respect! and thank you so much for brings back Classic A7X hits songs "Save Me,Blinded In Chain,Eternal Rest"
I absolutely love watching Brooks play ❤ He's so humble. And such a beast. He's one of my all-time favorite drummers. Avenged Sevenfold is such a great fit for him. A7X foREVer 🤘
You look at the Grey Race and you’re like meh it’s an ok “rock album”. Then The Process of Belief comes out and Brooks kills and Bad Religion is like a legit punk band again.
Brooks' use of the hi-hats to keep pulse during fills or riding on other cymbals really elevates the groove. He has a magical way of playing really unusual fills incorporating voices all around the kit that are always tasteful and musical. And what a great kit!
I use one of Brooks innovative percussion blue wood beater w/Tama speed cobra 910 pedal and combined with a aquarian nsuper kick2-and a remo woven patch,sounds really good,nice drum kit,on e brother plays jazz/fusion the other plays metal/punk but both nare amazing talented drummers.
I was just thinking about Gene and the vintage Dan Mars I play on because of him… love that you brought him up… as a drummer… who also follows other metal drummers … You are my pic this time. I love your style Brooks. Very clean.
I knew he was the drummer for A7X but I had no idea he was endorsed by Innovative Percussion. I’ve always taken them as more of a drum corps and marching band stick company but that’s amazing he is. Strongly considering switching back to innovative now!
They probably don't have much of a singing voice. Rather it be while playing drums or not playing drums. The rev was a different animal. He didn't have to rely only on his drumming skills. Hell he had a backup plan in case a7x didn't work out . He had pinkly smooth. And he didn't have anything to do with the drums in that band. Vocals and keyboards
So glad they got brooks. His capabilities are what a7x needs and is what makes a7x the band that they are. I didnt think that aaron kid fit in from the first time i herd him play the revs songs.. but i figured he might grow on me. But he never did. Then they released hail to the king and tho the album is full of good songs it dosnt hit a7x standards as far as i (a fan since 2005) was concerned. Was releived when they put out the stage. Brooks is the man
So happy for this dude. I know he had a career prior to a7x, but he seems so happy in this band. I also think his joining has re energized the band after a shit history of drummers
As a drummer I can tell you every make and size of every cymbal on my kit. It’s amazing to me Travis barker brooks and other have to look at what’s on there kit to know.
As cool as it is to have brooks in the band. It would have been awesome to see how far the rev would have gotten with his talent. And it would have been great to see a kit rundown of the rev’s last signature drum kit with the 3 kick drums. I remember seeing that kit the first time I saw them which was jimmy’s last time in my town almost a year before he passed. It ws insanely huge looking even from where i was
No way that's a 10 inch splash on that mini stack above his rack toms. There's a 10inch tom right next to it and the upside down splash is way bigger than that 10" tom. Thats probably a 12inch splash upside down ontop of a 14inch mini china stack.
Bad Religion is my favorite band of all time but Brooks is just so much better than what they need.if somebody had to take over for the Rev I’m glad it’s Brooks.
@@CorridorOfChameleons94 I looked it up and they do indeed have a mega bell ride, the Snowy Shaw signature ride. Also check out the Samatya, Session, and X-Cast lines.

On the song NOBODY on the album recording, what is the effects cymbal on the upbeat after the word 'before' the lyrics go, Pirouette with divinity in a dance we've shared 'before'..
And I will, best my fists against, my chest. (My chest against my chest) If only to, prevent my heart from beating for you. (Beating, for you, for you)
Rev lookin down with a proud tear down his face
He just went into the woods to come back as the knife mastaaa someday. I hope he's got wifi in there to watch Brooks killin it
@@ImFranticI'm never coming back.... And when I come back,I'll be the knife master 😂😂😂😂😂😂
The Wackerman family are all monsters on drums. They're all great drummers. Plus, that album of The National is one of the best album of 2023.
Can you imagine what their household might have been like? I imagine all of the brothers were doing everything they could to bring the best out in each other’s playing.
@@preston-blakelike the chad smith vs will ferrel drum off on fallon😂
I’m sorry family?!
Yes, the Wackerman is a family of great drummers. Brooks is the brother of John and Chad who are two great drummers and their father Chuck is also a drummer. A family of great drummers. 😊
I wanna see the whole show from that angle!
He plays so musically and drum phrases are impeccable
avenged sevenfold's are so perfect fit for him to explore his talent and he did it!
this man is truly legend!🤘🔥
I couldn't agree more
Brooks was a gem for A7X, they're fit each other. really great musician A7X always looking forward and keep better and better
Drums sound great and sounds well chosen !
7:07 is the sickest shot, please take more vids like that
Brooks always chill but a damn monster on the kit. Super cool dude if you get a chance to hang with.
Wouldn’t that be cool.
Damn, 0:23 he has a clamp on the outside of those hats for nobody! Sweet detail for those tight sounding hats🤘🤘

I remember when this guy was playing with Infectious Grooves when he was just a little 15 year old kid. He was always a little badass beast.
That YC snare tho🔥

Love that he gave a shoutout to Gene “the atomic clock” Hoglan. Brooks and Gene are 2 beasts of metal drumming
Very Happy to see that he mentioned his sticks and kick beaters, so glad to be part or Innovative Percussion and making his and other Artist sticks...
Brooks is a MONSTER!
I love my Istanbul cymbals.🤘👍 Brooks is an incredible drummer!
I absolutely love watching Brooks play ❤ He's so humble. And such a beast. He's one of my all-time favorite drummers. Avenged Sevenfold is such a great fit for him. A7X foREVer 🤘
I love the look of all rack toms with the same depth. Super cool
Brooks is easily one of my favorite drummers!!! Incredibly versatile and precise!! 😎🤙🏼
Brooks' performances with Bad Religion are some of the most inspiring drum performances for me period
Absolutely!! Just killer stuff
You look at the Grey Race and you’re like meh it’s an ok “rock album”. Then The Process of Belief comes out and Brooks kills and Bad Religion is like a legit punk band again.
Saw them in Cleveland last weekend and they rocked
we love brooks! Huge fan🫶🏽 and what a sick drum-set! 🤩 i mean, I don't play drums but if i had a kit like this, i would totally play every day😃
Great, great drummer, as all Wackerman guys!
Brooks' use of the hi-hats to keep pulse during fills or riding on other cymbals really elevates the groove. He has a magical way of playing really unusual fills incorporating voices all around the kit that are always tasteful and musical. And what a great kit!
Should’ve mentioned that mini Hihat that the drum tech Eric changes for him too! Just like the end of the video! So good!
Agreed. The unique stuff like that is more interesting then hearing someone run down their tom sizes, etc.
Thanks for making this video, Brooks is incredible drummer
YC drums are some of the best out there, blew my mind that Brooks is playing one.
You make Rev and us proud.
Brooks is such a humble Stud!!!

Bought the latest Avenged Sevenfold album after seeing a brooks playthrough video. Incredible record, and incredible drummer.
Brooks is a beast all started with Bad Religion for me so dynamic 💪🏻💪🏻keep rocking
They made good choice getting him as there drummer
OMG that solo excerpt at 6:14 was soooo 🔥🔥🔥🥵🥵 Killin! Brooks is great
Sick! He’s using an Acrylic Drum Set!🔥🙌🏻
Imagine Jimmy having a drum tour with his monster dw kit😢that would be so perfect
My idol forever, really good drummer with decent technique and tasty drum parts! Love these kit rundown videos! Love from Taiwan 🇹🇼
So awesome to watch these guys all play. Everytime I think I’m starting to get sort of good. I watch stuff like this and remind myself. Work harder.
Wackermans to drumming in my opinion, are what the Gracies are to Jiu-Jitsu.👍👍
That snare and the entire kit sound incredible!
great drummer...love that he changes the hi-hat just for Nobody lol
What a lovely birthday present 🎉
That snare drum sounds so good 😍😍
I love that he’s wearing a The National shirt.
Such a beautiful drumkit 😍 love you, Brooks! Thanks for this video!
the YC drum shout out lets gooooooo
saw him at Club Lingerie with AZ/DZ a lifetime ago. destined to be great. had brother Chad's footsteps to follow.
I remember seeing Brooks with Suicidal Tendencies when he was a teenager. He was already a huge player back then!
brooks such a nice guy!!
Brooks is a drumming god
Amazing kit and love the shout out to Jordan and YC drums!
Thanks for the video
Not many metal drummers play with Istanbul cymbals. They are definitely a great cymbal company... Rock on!!!
Calm but killer
I like how 3 of 4 drummers from a7x endorsed Dw. The rev, arin, now this guy.
I was just thinking about Gene and the vintage Dan Mars I play on because of him… love that you brought him up… as a drummer… who also follows other metal drummers … You are my pic this time. I love your style Brooks. Very clean.
FODA DEMAIS MANO, EXCELENTE ESCOLHA DE BATERIA E PRATOS!!
clean kit
I knew he was the drummer for A7X but I had no idea he was endorsed by Innovative Percussion. I’ve always taken them as more of a drum corps and marching band stick company but that’s amazing he is. Strongly considering switching back to innovative now!
Awesome drummer 🤟🏽
Keep it up ❤
I’m curious did Avenged Sevenfold not want any other Drummer but the rev to play and sing at the same time? Or was Brooke and Aaron not able to do it?
They probably don't have much of a singing voice. Rather it be while playing drums or not playing drums. The rev was a different animal. He didn't have to rely only on his drumming skills.

Istanbul is pretty dope!
The Bad Religion Recordings with him are Masterpieces of Drumming .
Listen to Infectious Grooves - Groove Family Cyco!
It´s from 1994 and his drumming was already fantastic back then when Brooks was only 17
Loved Brooks in Bad Religion. Never got into A7F though....yet. \m/
Love to see it lit up on that plexy riser
Dope nod to the National. Could be a dope lineup…National going on tour soon…
I just learned that he swaps the hihats in and out for "nobody". Thats crazy
jesus give me full drum cam from 8:10 i will pay for this OMG
i mean whole so far away OMG soo good
So happy for this dude. I know he had a career prior to a7x, but he seems so happy in this band. I also think his joining has re energized the band after a shit history of drummers
Proud to see our cymbals around the world.
Brooks is one of a kind, very versatile and creative.
I thought the video would be longer, like the one with Danny Carey.
Respect for The National new album T shirt
As a drummer I can tell you every make and size of every cymbal on my kit. It’s amazing to me Travis barker brooks and other have to look at what’s on there kit to know.
The audacity of those professional drummers!

Reminds me of Danny Carey, even his voice hahahaha. Brooks is the man, we should all be watching him a lot more
Wish Istanbul would make that mega bell ride a permanent cymbal in their lineup.
Brooks uses Agops but Istanbul Mehmet makes a couple things that are approaching a big bell, they tend to encompass rock/metal a bit more than Agop.
Good to know, thank you.@@haydendraycott7897

I wanted to see what the clamped hats used for that 16th note groove in Nobody.
6:13 That was killer!
1:42 Matt Horn sighting
Aye
Brooks looks like The Rev without tattoos.
On the song NOBODY on the album recording, what is the effects cymbal on the upbeat after the word 'before' the lyrics go, Pirouette with divinity in a dance we've shared 'before'..
Awesome kit and finally a drummer with the needed skills. What a song is playing at 0:25 so in the beginning of the video?
The song is Nobody from their new album
Thanks and have a nice day
THE ONE...
Brooks is a beast! 🔥🔥🔥
What a fitting last name
Has someone built this kit on drumstructor yet?
John Bonham has known about plastic drums since 1973. Billy Cobham, since 1972. Check out Thomas Lang. The best in the world by 200 miles.
Is that @matthorndrums ? 1:59 I see you lol.
And I will, best my fists against, my chest. (My chest against my chest)
If only to, prevent my heart from beating for you. (Beating, for you, for you)
We gotta see him play almost easy with the double ride lol
He didn’t say the kick drum sizes. I would assume 22x16 but they kinda look like 22x14??
I'm amazed he stayed in Bad Religion as long as he did, I think by the 3rd album he was getting bored.
