Totally bro! Luv it

[@HA-tb2fv]

They make that in gummie form now so no injection required 😂

[@HA-tb2fv]

Those grooves on the other hand got to practice for those haha

[@dizzle7967]

I know these videos are to showcase the symbols but damn that snare sound in these videos is always on point.

[@whatcanibreakdrums]

For real lol

[@snrdrm]

SERIOUSLY DUDE LOL THE SNARE IS ALMOST ALWAYS *RIDICULOUSLY* FAT IN THESE ARTIST VIDS😂😂

[@HA-tb2fv]

Money

[@timbofromkeno]

Forrest is so great. Love the way this dude drums!

[@martincorral6835]

He IS great. You know what else is great? Your drumless tracks 🙂

[@timbofromkeno]

@@martincorral6835 Ah man. Thanks Martin!

[@drew_on_drums]

Bro smiling like he's baked and I love it

[@tebogomadiba8668]

First time I see a drummer smile when he plays drums

[@lukewhelandrums8762]

Those cymbals sounds great and Forest just plays them beautifully. Super smooth dude

[@arsonne]

So glad I got to see him with Covet on SS Neverender. Covet, Soul Glo and Spiritbox really stole the show that whole trip

[@gabecelaj2901]

Wow what a lineup

[@pres4515]

Spiritbox the Metalcore guys and Covet in one show?!

[@arsonne]

@@pres4515 It was a cruise but yeah. All the bands played like 3 or 4 shows throughout the trip

[@SHABAD0O]

Didn't realize Forrest had written/performed some of the drums on the new album. Fun stuff

[@MusicGoRoundLincoln]

The record was written and recorded before he and David left. He plays all the drums except Coronal.

[@kevinb873]

This guy plays like he's stuck in an awkward conversation that he's politely trying to get away from.

[@bongazwane8834]

One of my favorite drummers 💯

[@ASHISH_KR_DUTTA]

Fantastic playing

[@buttwater8974]

He is just so creative. Love COVET.

[@tituspossenriede865]

I really like these easy drum patterns...
I also like the foundary reseved rides

[@imannegara4852]

Sound snare was so Amaziiing 🤩

[@pedroleal7118]

I love the fact this guy is always laughing when playing!

[@whatcanibreakdrums]

I wish I had half the steez Forrest has...
Also that snare sounds heavenly!
And yeah the cymbals are aight 😜

[@lenthericjames4925]

The that crush sounds awesome 👌 👏

[@joelclarkemusic1]

What would Forrest do? This is a question I ask myself frequently when playing the drums. Dude is such a creative, inspiring drummer.

[@daedalus_20v]

Pretty sure my mom had that same jacket in 1991.

[@properdose.]

clean af

[@MrManuSmith]

Nice drums! And nice smile!

[@joshkirkwoodrealty3643]

I don’t want know what Forrest is on to make him so joyful but sign me up

[@therealskatedad]

Dear, Forrest.
Can you please teach me your technique for playing the hi-hat like you do at 0:36? Please and thank you.

[@DarylDCChestnut]

My dude💪

[@biodigitaljazz1]

The setup playlist is missing the almighty 20" extra thin hammered crash

[@valuablesandwich]

Get it bro

[@Ephremjlm1]

Man Covet just aint the same without him.

[@CapellaOnDrums]

🥰

[@tysonjohn6714]

Homie on Molly? Lol that smile makes me smile lol

[@marcburrows5783]

Weed rocks!

[@killmoreturtles]

He looks like he is 100% against smoking weed.

[@victor-rochaaa]

:D

[@tysonjohn6714]

Where's the extra clicks comin from he don't keep the time closing the high hats when he's workin the ride

[@IAMmonkeychow]

Huh? - thought he’d left Covet 🤷‍♂️

[@matt.lemonnier]

These where probably recorded before he left.

[@davegarciaofficial]

Finally a video with much less drum chop wanking so we can actually hear and focus on the cymbals.
