One of the grooviest drummers of this generation, in my opinion. He's so deep in the pocket.. If the pocket were an ocean, he'd be in the Mariana Trench.
Corey Ballenger he’s like when you get a hole in your pocket but the pants have two layers because they’re sweatpants and your keys end up sagging around your ankles. #deepinpocket
Wow that's great man, you definitely kill the drums and with a lot of technique, i'm also a drummer and i have to say i'm very impressed with your play, your kit (that is beautiful) and the quality drum sound, it's just amazing. Keep on rockin' it, greetings from México!
@@asdrummer2008 I really hope you guys are able to make it happen!!! I still vividly remember my first time hearing Guiding Lights some 7 years ago while working alone in a dark building and having to stop working to just sit down and appreciate what I was hearing. Thank you guys so much for making such beautiful music!!!
usually, when i have cymbals so close ( or unsecured so they swing more ) that they hit each other, there's this arythmic clashing that happens, but apparently on brother anup's kit, even the cymbals that bang into one another work together for the good of the song.
I have to be honest. It's 3 in the morning, and I've just finished watching this video for the 7th time in a row... The passion and emotion I see come from you as you play; it's incredible. Great play through. And that snare is a beast!
A lot of bands in this genre sound homogenous but Anup and Daniel really bring Guiding Lights to the next level. Every performance and song is excellent and I can listen to it every day of the week and not get bored.
anup is easily becoming one of my favorite drummers. definitely up there with matt halpern, alex rudinger, billy rymer, and tomas haake on my list of top drummers. the energy is insane!
Hey, man! I actually was just clicking through some drumming clips - and then: Heard ya, your playing, your groove, your style. Gee, nice drumming, kinda musical!! Cheers
Anup. You are my idol. I strive to be like you. just know that what youre doing is impacting peoples lives in a positive way. keep on keeping on brother.
awesome playthrough. you're a true inspiration...thanks for that! i also got my 18" classics custom dark crash & 20" byzance dark ride some weeks ago. they sound awesome...
Loved how you said in the description "it is easy to get lost emotionally into this song. Just like a lot of Skyharbor material." I totally agree with that! All of Skyharbor's music is incredibly beautiful and always attaches me emotionally! Love their music!
You are the best drummer in this genre of music man and you inspire a lot of us who loves the drums as you do!! Great dynamics!! Fluidly and Smoothly playthrough!! Amazing!! Please visit CHILE in future to go to watch you in a liveshow!!
I refuse no rivers. It’s a revelation that I discovered. I’ll follow your many guiding lights, And tear away through your love. I’ll follow your many guiding lights, And now I tell you… To follow me under, far below. The deeper the secrets, far below. I’m pulling you under, far below. The deeper the secrets, marry every lie we told. Hidden by a shadow cast by the street lights, Black walls are closing in fast tonight. I’m abandoning all my thoughts and hiding here By the firelight in a mother’s open arms. But you know it’s never over when the pain begins to come, When everything around you falls apart and comes undone, And you fail to take back what you’ve done. Now the tears start to fall and panic brings me to my knees. You choke me on the floor and grip my neck so I can’t breathe. Just take a bow and then you make my body… Hollow, hollow, hollow. You know my name. You know my fate. Take my shame, my shame. Take my pain. Wash away the blame. Follow me down, Follow me down, Follow me down to solid ground. There’s a presence around you as the colors start to blur. To have a passion for painting letters and comprehending words. Be prepared to understand it’s not the world at fault, And there will always be somebody to catch you when you fall. Show me how to live, Teach me how to tolerate. Encourage me to give, Empower me to love and celebrate. I’ll follow your many guiding lights, And tear away through your love. I’ll follow your many guiding lights, And now I tell you… To follow me under, far below. The deeper the secrets, far below. I’m pulling you under, far below. The deeper the secrets, binding both the worlds we know. Follow.
Awesome drumming, saw Skyharbor a while back in the Netherlands despite being sick i still went. Was hoping Anup would have been drumming! but it was still reallly good. Gave my compliments to the guitar player about the band and the performance. And got an awesome shirt
Really love your playing, Anup. You have such a great vibe and feel in your playing it adds something extra to the music. sad to see you have left Skyharbour.
I don't know what it is, but that sound is just perfect. The kick sounds different. A way better kind of different. And it was already godly. And the cymbals sound so present ... jesus Anup. Incredible.
Such power, such ferocity and such precision! I enjoy everything you lay down on the drums, Anup. Really amazing drumming as usual to be fair, but just couldn't hold myself from commenting this time.
I really dig how it feels like your drums breathe more in the mix, yknow? Like they sound more natural!! Great cover Anup, super super talented drummer! From a drummer to a drummer (in the same genre of music), it feels like you invented this style of drumming.
The part at 3:56 gets me every time! That is done one handed as well, no? Not to mention how impressive the rest of the song is. Great job as always, Anup! One of my favs from the record :)
Put Anup's talents of playing aside and you're still left with one of the best sounding kits on all of youtube. I love your work, you're enjoyable to watch and listen to. I hope to someday have even close to the mixing skills you do, not to mention playing! Keep up the great work man!
Koedix The whole album is like that. The guys are all just super talented and smart musicians. Technology has come along way with drums, no more replacing everything with MIDI's, that's old tech. To tune a sample/take a good recording is where the art is. These guys are a stunning example of the new wave of music we should expect to see.
s3fron The Zerk That's pretty amazing. The whole kit sounds absolutely incredible. And yeah, the kick sounds natural but it sounds so good it almost seems too good. that's why I was putting the question out there
Koedix Hey! I appreciate the feedback! I didn't use any samples. The original drums from the actual song are still in the mix unfortunately... So it helps for the drums I tracked for the video to blend in a lot better with the mix...
Love this song..and regardless how "complicated" he makes it flow so perfect...backbone of the song...perfect drumlines.. Jst perfect.!! New Skyharbor doesn't evn compare...
Oh man this is awesome, really enjoy your tasty drumming dude! By the way: As your personal opinion, what do you think of the Classics Custom Dark Cymbals?
anup! you are the king! love your sound, set up, drums, cymbals, musicality and your techniqe. it's realy inspiring. keep doing your awsome job and will continue following you and learn from you.
Your play throughs are by far the best I've seen on youtube. I love how much passion you have in your playing, it's really inspiring. Keep it up man, killer as always!
I discovered this guy through a drum reaction video and being a lifelong metalhead couldn't believe I'd never come across anything he'd been a part of until 2022. He is super underrated and wish he put out more solo stuff where the drums are live but all the other instruments are programmed. It sounds so unorthodox but his albums are so good, especially for being mostly vocal-less as well. On paper it sounds terrible but his music resonates with me for sure

My fav drummer, full stop.
This guy is simply the most tasteful drummer. In terms of the over all sound of his kit and style.
Super Drummer, super Band, these guys are amazing!!
this man touches the soul
This songs means so much to me and your drumming makes it so deep and emotional... thank you Anup.
AMAZING!! Greetings from Barcelona! You are one of my favourites! Thanks! (Sorry my english is limitated 😜) ERES UNA MAQUINA! 💪
2:50. Cool fills hiding everywhere in this cover 😮
" There isn't really any complicated drumming going on" You are so funny Anup!
It's really not that complicated... I mean a couple of the fills are pretty complex but for the most part it's pretty easy going stuff
I'm really becoming a fan. Great job!
Simply unbelievable. You're a human metronome. Amazing
Wow that's great man, you definitely kill the drums and with a lot of technique, i'm also a drummer and i have to say i'm very impressed with your play, your kit (that is beautiful) and the quality drum sound, it's just amazing. Keep on rockin' it, greetings from México!
One of the best albums of the last decade. Skyharbor needs you and Dan back
Thanks a lot for the kind words. Really hope we can all play music again at some point in the future. \m/

Great stuff as aöways!
Not just the playing, but the engineering
I would love a "studio tour" setup.. :)
I have to be honest. It's 3 in the morning, and I've just finished watching this video for the 7th time in a row... The passion and emotion I see come from you as you play; it's incredible. Great play through. And that snare is a beast!
Deserves way more views and comments! Amazing.
every hits on ur drums mean great soudzthx
Kit sounds great man!
Your fill around 2:50 is straight up buttery smooth and just perfect for the mood and transition. Incredible playing man, you're an inspiration.
A lot of bands in this genre sound homogenous but Anup and Daniel really bring Guiding Lights to the next level. Every performance and song is excellent and I can listen to it every day of the week and not get bored.
The band is great still, but they're definitely missing your drum style big time.
killin it man, nice and tasteful too :)
anup is easily becoming one of my favorite drummers. definitely up there with matt halpern, alex rudinger, billy rymer, and tomas haake on my list of top drummers. the energy is insane!
Hey, man!
I actually was just clicking through some drumming clips - and then: Heard ya, your playing, your groove, your style. Gee, nice drumming, kinda musical!!
Cheers
Hey Anup, you've probably been asked a million times, but can you run through your Mic setup, I love how minimal it is.
Brian Lammas Same thing I'm wondering here. Gets such a clean and tight production with that setup.
Simplesmente perfeito! 👍🏻
I look exactly like u man, your doppelganger, play metal drums too, inspiration x
Anup. You are my idol. I strive to be like you. just know that what youre doing is impacting peoples lives in a positive way. keep on keeping on brother.
Got the sound nailed this time.
Manas Sharma Thanks a lot!!!!! I really do appreciate this! I think Im slowly figuring out my room mic's more and more! So thank you!
Very musical, man!!!!
Tons in fourth minute gave "suspense" for music!!! Congrats!!
awesome playthrough. you're a true inspiration...thanks for that!
i also got my 18" classics custom dark crash & 20" byzance dark ride some weeks ago. they sound awesome...

4:50 Anup is boss level at the Matt Halpern game
FINALLY!! Love this tune
As always, sounds sick.

still one of the greatest songs of all time
Nice. I doubt any drummer could have played that better. Such passion.
Amazing drummer. Awesome drums sound. Thanks for good music

Wonderful piece of music, awesome playing! This is so fucking amazing...
Really love your playing, Anup. You have such a great vibe and feel in your playing it adds something extra to the music. sad to see you have left Skyharbour.
Love it Anup, LOVE IT!!! I hope to see you at another show in London, ON soon enough my friend. Keep up the great work!
I don't know what it is, but that sound is just perfect. The kick sounds different. A way better kind of different. And it was already godly. And the cymbals sound so present ... jesus Anup. Incredible.
Such power, such ferocity and such precision! I enjoy everything you lay down on the drums, Anup. Really amazing drumming as usual to be fair, but just couldn't hold myself from commenting this time.
Does anyone know where I can find sheet music for any or all of the songs from the band 'Intervals' that Anup plays in? Thanks!
that lick with which he starts off.... that is just dope. (along with everything else)
Such a god damn inspiration. Shit pushes me to get better every time I hear him play
It would actually really be interesting to see a drums only version of this
was i the only one that thought his stick got abducted by aliens at 4:06 ???
Maybe it's only because I like drums much more than vocals, but this sounds way better than the original song.
I really dig how it feels like your drums breathe more in the mix, yknow? Like they sound more natural!! Great cover Anup, super super talented drummer! From a drummer to a drummer (in the same genre of music), it feels like you invented this style of drumming.
So much power n flow. Felt every accent n was in the groove with you. Made me love this track even more. Epic vid bro
Incredible you are Mr. Sastry. Such mature grooving. I literally wait for every new video of yours!
Thank you for being such an inspiration. :D
Alguém do Brasil ouvindo em 2021 as 23hrs da noite? \m/
ANUP THE SAUCE SASTRY, dude turning into drum royalty 4real
From a drummer who has played for 40 years, metal has always been what I like and admire. Well done and the sound is amazing.
The drum sound is insane!!!!!!! Incredible playing too!!
This is amazing dude! Inspired me to get behind my kit, love your videos; hopefully see more soon! Keep up the awesomeness \m/
Right on top with the best in the world…clean & spot on notes …!!
Nice job again. Your mixes always sound outstanding.
The part at 3:56 gets me every time! That is done one handed as well, no? Not to mention how impressive the rest of the song is. Great job as always, Anup! One of my favs from the record :)
what do i have to do to play like you Anup? you're amazing!!
Put Anup's talents of playing aside and you're still left with one of the best sounding kits on all of youtube. I love your work, you're enjoyable to watch and listen to. I hope to someday have even close to the mixing skills you do, not to mention playing! Keep up the great work man!
The sound is SO crisp! Great work.
You have so much passion in what you do, it was beautiful to watch. Amazing job as always man!
Awesome chops, great sound, and grooving as always :) Hope you're well dude!!
You're truly an amazing artist and a huge inspiration to me! I hope to one day produce videos of this magnitude!
Fantastic work man, just incredible
Everything sounds so perfect man... so good.
The flavor on this is insane. Keep it up bro! Greetz from the DMV
Awesome man!!!! Your snare sounds so good!!!! I love your style!!
That is some of the best sounding drums I have ever heard as well the best I have seen from you yet. Great playing as always!
The hooded beast strikes again! Great playing and love that I can totally see you feeling it.
can you do a walkthrough of Allure??? Thank you :)
That kick sounds so perfect... is it fully live, augmented, or just sampled?
Koedix From what I heard Anups doesn't use samples. And that kick sounds pretty natural to me.
Koedix The whole album is like that. The guys are all just super talented and smart musicians. Technology has come along way with drums, no more replacing everything with MIDI's, that's old tech.

Jst perfect.!!
New Skyharbor doesn't evn compare...
Amazing!!!
Drums and cymbals sound dope in this vid bro!
Your drums so good and you play flawlessly. Good job dude!
I love your playing style! I also love the way you write for the drums!
Anup, so good my man. Really dig the emotions you've put into this (as well as the dank ghost notes). Thanks for sharing mate :-) Cheers from Denmark.
i totally understand what you wrote in the description Anup! Awesome!
Nabil Karsheh Thanks a lot for taking the time to read the description! Cheers!
asdrummer2008 I always read them! so keep writing them! I do also write to my videos. Maybe if you would check out my channel? thx
Oh man this is awesome, really enjoy your tasty drumming dude!
By the way: As your personal opinion, what do you think of the Classics Custom Dark Cymbals?
anup! you are the king! love your sound, set up, drums, cymbals, musicality and your techniqe. it's realy inspiring. keep doing your awsome job and will continue following you and learn from you.
dotan bentur btw, what heads are you using for your toms? looked for it in previous replies and couldn't find it
+dotan bentur look like clear remo emporers
Your play throughs are by far the best I've seen on youtube. I love how much passion you have in your playing, it's really inspiring. Keep it up man, killer as always!
Easy to get lost emotionally listening to the whole album.., it really gets inside
uploaded 1 day ago.. already 4k views. fuck 0_0

Eres chingon!!! you are amazing dude!
If you're ever around Dallas/Fort Worth or somewhere even kinda close, I NEED to take a lesson or something with you, man! So great!
Phenomenal! The emotion you get from listening to this music is really inspiring!
Fucking beast of a man.
You're a beast dude. Love your work!

Huge tune, sick playing dude.
Oh those dark crash cymbals have such a nice sound. Glorious porn for the ears!

You are so damn good dude!
Anup, you are one of the greats
