That kick drum is just amazing, Craig is firing on all cylinders, he got new drums that sound fucking AND he got a Custom Ride that also sounds unreal.
So now you got my full respect. I was once listening to this track every day, by the way the lyrics are great, but after seeing you smashing the drums I am really thinking you are an outstanding drummer. You play 4 strokes on the right and left at the same time triplets, that’s mentally ill (in german this means more than awesome, believe me;)). Also I’m loving your setup: This huge zildjian cymbals-I want them! TAMA it needs no comment. Just great. Stephan
@@reynlord666 ha ha, now we got base-very cool. Now my practice belongs to your skills;) I look what I find for my practice in this tons of videos you gave us. Thank you very much (it’s normal for a german potato to say that;)).
i love this song so much, currently learning it myself, i just love the energy u put into the song like no other drummer ive ever seen. the beginning is complicated but really fun to learn and play, the corus is simple in concept to me but hard to play right, the verse is for me a difficult part, and i love it. the break down is alot simpler and a bit easier to play but still hard. this is 1 of the songs when i hear it i wanna play my drums.
Dude the new layout looks sick!! I love the design and lighting of the room. The kit looks and sounds amazing. The bigger kick just adds so much to the overall sound.
This kit is amazing!!! The ride sounds insane but studio wise, the A custom ride you use as a crash doesn’t do it for me but live I can see it cutting through nicely!
🤔 I don’t know if this’ll be worthwhile or not Craig, so I leave it to your better judgement. Personally, I’m not a drummer and I still even watch these. On another video, I’d mentioned to you that I hear a CLEAR difference between Anonymous & Subliminal Criminals vs Internal Atomics & Euthanasia. You told me that’s because you put in everything you’ve got. And, I know you’re training for (and have played for and/or did drum tech work for) several styles of music. Some stuff you do here (for The Downbeat) isn’t drum specific, some is, and I love your VLOG style + “pull back the curtain” type videos. If it’s worth while, could you talk some time about the different styles of music you’re combining in your past writing? Pick a couple of your favorite Stray tracks? With your background, I’d have to imagine there are times where you decide, “if this section was more jazz oriented rather than hardcore oriented it’d make this sound SIC.” Perhaps that’s what you do on your drum streams though, and in which case I need to STFU and start watching those 😅
for the love of god please remove the barcode from the china! Its gonna choke it out!!! But seriously brother this sounds really awesome. Nice playing.
This is your enter sandman
I would say it's more Fortune Teller
loving the shallow 24" Kick
@@Orion86_ so much punch

Can’t decide if people in these comments are genuinely just figuring out that he is more than a podcaster 😂
The first time he played it, I was also surprised that he could work with more than just his mouth.
I'll be honest, I never heard his music prior to him showing up in my suggestions. Became a big fan since.
Bro was like, fuck that intro drum section I usually sat through, watch me cook.
So clean man love you.
That angle from in front of the kick looks wild with the 24”

i’m also actually mentally ill so it works twice. thank you for the kind words

You are only as good as your drummer. Craig elevates this band way higher.
@@TheBeardsShow you are so right👹
Kick sounds absolutely gut punching!!! Love the new kit
That green + walnut bass drum hoop combo is 👌👌👌
I couldn’t agree more, though I’m a bit biased as deep greens are my favorite color 👏
@@derekrose3328 same! Lol.
Genuinely, this album slaps so fucking hard
Was listening to the stream yesterday, 0:52 i could could feel that face.
Sounding like a broken rcord, but that top view is just 👌🏻 *chef kiss*
Lets take a moment to appreciate how tasty the drums sound.
Will never get tired of watching you play this

*misses splash hit* “fux!” Legend ❤
This was one Stray's best albums and even song
Ride crash is pure destruction
new kit in general sounds insane
Well done !
Love the finishes on your last 2 kits! Can we get merch with the downbeat logo is the same finish as your kit?
this song made me a fan - when i want to feel straight up AGGRESSION i listen to this song. it has inspired many hundreds of push ups
sick grooves holy shit
💪 Beast Mode Engaged 💪
Dude the new layout looks sick!! I love the design and lighting of the room. The kit looks and sounds amazing. The bigger kick just adds so much to the overall sound.
Jesus christ that kick. Beautiful kit! Covered this one today if anyone cares to watch 😎
Tama Star drums are outrageously good.
Craig looks like he’s just taking a Sunday stroll. Dude makes it look toooooo easy. Crispy af 👨🏼🍳🤌🏻😮💨
This whole new kit with the new cymbals sounds SO GOOD man 🔥
god that matte finish is so fucking crisp.
that kit sounds so good
This kit is amazing!!!
The ride sounds insane but studio wise, the A custom ride you use as a crash doesn’t do it for me but live I can see it cutting through nicely!
I agree 100%
New kit confidence! You were dialed in on this one!
This song is his painkiller...
You sir, are officially insane!! 🔥
the new setup sounds so sick! love the JT snare
Yummers
New kit is sounding amazing! Love the JT snare, I have one too and love it, but have yet to really dial in my sound. Keep up the great videos Craig!
Killed it!
insane quality
New D!ldo/seat combo looks sick 🥴
Thought it was the death grips track, but this is dope.
What a legend and the video looks crispppyyyyy
The new kit is going hard 🎉🎉🎉
Ah, okay, he’s the guy from stray from the path
Nice shorts, nice beard. Well done Craig.
Solid shit🤘
Oof that kit sounds crispy. Also when is the Eloy interview dropping?
The Tempesta snare is a fucking weapon. God damn.
Great playthrough, congrats on the new ride and kit.
Will the ride ever be part of a lineup?
hectic
UP!
When you don't think it can sound any better it actually does
Hell yeah brother
Awesome mate
Hell yeah 🤘 tha kick omg, so fckin heavy 👌
I was expecting “so lock and load!”
You're really good, have you ever thought about being in a band instead of podcasting?
Bella/Magnifico.🙏✡️✡️✡️✡️✡️✡️👑
WOW DUDE. You're constantly going ^. The energy, never experienced it like this. Massive props!!
the chorus is fuckin heavy brother
HELLL yea brother
Best you’ve ever sounded
Hang em high , did you play for Coldplay at one time ?
Never hit the like button so fast in my life
Yes!
insane
Have you found going from a 22 to 24 kick that playing double bass feels sluggish?
opposite because its 14" depth. i feel NIMBLE
Hell YES!
This dude duuuuude
fuck yeah
I would like to know how this kick and whole drums sounds in in-ear mix
Exactly the same as this mix
Daaaaaamn🔥
An interesting one is that it seems Craig crashes much more the sweet ride than the K Projection.
❤❤❤❤
Sounds tight! Are you lovin the new set up?
🔥🔥🔥🔥
yo first? love the podcast homie
hey this aint so bad
What are your drum sizes? I love the sounds of them
maybe not the fastest boi but very tasty

🤘
I want somebody to look at me like Craig looks at his china at 2:05
😂😂😂😂
No you don’t
Hey Craig your rack tom mic seems to wobble around a lot. Does that become an issue with the recorded sound? Great drumming as usual 😊
Super sick! I just think that splash needs a stacker, seems to be struggling to speak with the quick notes and needs to be more staccato.
Boiii
красавчик ))
🤘😈🤘🔥🔥🔥
Feet cam
Edit! Wrote this comments for monomyth video. Video swapped on me 😂
for the love of god please remove the barcode from the china! Its gonna choke it out!!! But seriously brother this sounds really awesome. Nice playing.
is it just me or are you trying a lower snare height?
What are those big dirty scratches on your ride?
Next cymbal idea: basically an oriental splash but somehow better and not called oriental so we can all stop asking ourselves “is this appropriate?”
Lmao they changed it recently it’s an fx trash splash now
@@reynlord666 lol that’s a better name either way it’s the best splash you’ve used since switching to Zs
I prefer the older drum set walnut birch😐
You are too good for that band, they are lucky to have you
Grustle😅
This guy isn't too bad.
Band?
my band, stray from the path
good playing but man this band is the embodiment of generic metalcore
I couldn't name a single one that sounds better, or not like a cheap knock off.
🔥🔥🔥
