Yeah, I'm with a previous commenter. We're here cuz we like YOUR reactions. We like hearing from you. Take care of yourself. We'll still be here. I totally dig your content.
You seemed REALLY down this video. It's okay not to put out content if you're not feeling it, man. As a community, we would rather know that you're taking care of yourself than forcing yourself to put out videos because you feel like you have to. It's hard times, dude. You don't NEED to put out shit that you don't want to put out. Just take care of yourself, brother.
Same here, was thinking "he doesn't seem to be wanting to do this" just a couple seconds into the video.
Thank you for this.
@@garrettmillerdrums everyone's gotta take care of each other :) mental health is part of health! The amount of freelance work I do has really declined, and that's just life right now. Things will get better, but we have to take care of ourselves to be able to see that through. If taking care of yourself means not putting out content, that's okay! Our capitalist/consumerist society tells us that we are only as valuable as the stuff we produce, and that's not true. It's okay to take as much time off as you need before you get back to doing the things that add value to your life, whatever they may be. :)
Family comes first. We love your content, Garrett!
Agreed! You were definitely not in the mood for a reaction video! Probably just got done with a fight with the woman about something to do with kids.... its cool! It's part of parenthood and building on your relationship. But please don't let that bleed into your work!
you alright man? seem a bit down today. hope everything is going okay
I'm OK, just juggling it all, trying to squeeze videos in when I can. Guess it's pretty obvious. Thank you.
@@garrettmillerdrums We love you! Keep doing you and we'll keep supporting ❤️
@@garrettmillerdrums Raising kids dude! I have two two year olds. I find it tough finding time to comment on videos let alone make them. Everything you said in this video I agree with. Especially the bit about editing out the text message bit. Iwannaknowwhatitsaid!! None of my business. Butwhatdiditsay!!? I don't care. Respect to you. Keep it reeeal.
That's his kit all the time, not just a set up for a cymbal video. Song is from his band Entheos.....his wife Chaney Crabbe is the vocalist.....AMAZING. He was formerly the drummer for Animals As Leaders. 🤘🤘
Bro this damn near broke my heart. I've been watching your videos for almost 2 years now and I love your energy. The vibes I caught off this makes me wish I had your number because I'd be calling you up just to chat if nothing else right now. I hope you're okay.
Hey man, glad to see you again. Sounds like you're going through a rough time - hang in there, you're never alone, even if it feels like it, we all know the feeling and that's why we all share each others pain. Hang in there, we're here cause we think you're a good dude. Don't feel pressure, you just do the best you can and know that's all you can do.
You pronounced Navene's name right instantly. He wrote this song just for Meinl, all instruments are done by him too. You should check out his band Entheos in which he records all instruments as well, but his wife does vocals. His old band Animosity is fantastic as well. They were leaps and bounds ahead of everyone else, playing deathcore before that term was ever invented and broke up before that, too.
as TheJoern said, great to see you again man. hope all is well with the family.
Thanks, guys. I appreciate you.
I’m definitely subbed to you because you’re you. It’s like a one way friendship but I love watching your vids. Me wife and I just have a 1 year old, but I think I get your exhaustion. Number two must be quite the adventure!

@@jamisonandrewmanhorvaththe1124 sick frontierer pic
@@jadeclairmont thanks, man. I’m so excited for their new shit this year
Agree on the dynamics
fuck yes Navene is one of my favorite drummers
the only reaction youtube that I will watch. You and Craig Reynolds.
Shout out to Frontierer
@@MatthewOceanXVX fuck yeah, dude. One of my favorite bands.
OnlyFlams baby!
Was just watching an old video of yours and wondering where you'd been..nice to see ya back man I enjoy ur vids and commentary
Navene used to be the drummer for Animals As Leaders (so that says something in itself, I think..), he's played with Animosity, The Faceless, Fleshwrought (in which he plays all the instruments... and Jonny Davy from Job For A Cowboy is the vocalist, so it's not QUITE a "solo" project lol), and who knows how many others... and the song is from his band Entheos, which is him, Chaney Crabb (his wife, a fantastic vocalist), and well, it used to be a supergroup of mainly ex-Animosity members after that band split, so it had Frank Costa on guitar and Evan Brewer (who used to also play with The Faceless and was on their album Autotheism, as well as bands like Reflux which had Tosin Abasi and Ash Avildsen, the CEO of Sumerian Records, and now he's in Look What I Did) on bass, too, and at one point had Travis LeVrier (ex-Scale the Summit) on guitars, as well.
But all of those other (notably seasoned, extremely talented) musicians have left Entheos now for one reason or another (I really wish Evan Brewer stayed... he's one of my favorite bassists), so now it's just Navene and Chaney - and Navene, being the multi-instrumentalist he is (he IS Fleshwrought, except the vocals lol), is currently their guitarist and bassist as well.
They put out a new single last year, announcing that going forward Navene would be writing and recording all drums, guitars, and bass in the studio.
Navene is a talented mu'fugga.
I've loved your reactions since day one, Garrett. Like others have said, if you don't feel up to making a video, feeling down for whatever reason, don't feel that you need to make one. We're here for your reactions, for *you* - but that doesn't mean we can't go without you for a couple days. Make videos when you're feeling it, not when you feel you have to.
Love you, brother. Keep up the great content.
Pretty sure he was Animals As Leaders first drummer. He also used to drum for White Chapel.
Don't forget Animosity
Animosity wrote the book on groovy drum licks for me, never heard anything like navene k before that
Not so sure about Whitechapel…but he certainly performed w/The Faceless a bit. \m/
@@guygrisdale9409 he did the drums for their album ‘The Valley’
This dude rocks but I love his electronica shit more. Really shows his abilities outside of just being a bad ass metal drummer
It’s Garrett Miller! Drummer at large LOL. Good to see u more often dude
Hell yeah! Navene is insane!
Truth!
Man. Navene was the original live drummer for animals as leaders. But I first heard him from being the drummer of one of the most innovative and ahead of their time deathcore band (like deathcore wasn’t a word yet) his band Animosity. Him and his friends were like 16-18 on the first album. And their third album they were a few years older and it was one of the best heaviest deathcore albums ever called Animal (had the sickest band shirts too) but yeah. This guys been killing it for like 20 years now. I’ve always kinda liked the fact that he plays so hard and isn’t so relaxed. Even to this day. You can tell that he grew up blasting. And then starting learning other techniques later.
Much love to you man.
Yesss, been one of my favorite drummers since Animals.
He is the original Animals As Leaders drummer. He is now in a band called Entheos with his missus Chaney on vocals.
Had the pleasure of seeing him live on stage with Animals As Leaders shortly before he left them. What a great player
you're spot on with the dynamics - most of these kind of showcase videos tend to sounds samey to me
Navene absolutely has his own style, and it’s fun to hear similarities between this and his early stuff with Animosity (deathcore)
Miss Animosity
Like the live stream idea. Give a heads up before. Thanks brother-man
I gotcha brotha. As another father of a 3 year old and a 4 month old, times can be tough man. Lots of water and sleep my man.
You’re awesome
Check out his early work with Animosity, especially their second "Empires" (2005) and third record "Animals", also his record with Jonny Davey (Job For A Cowboy) on vocals: Fleshwrought - Dementia/Dyslexia (2010).
It would be wonderful to catch a stream with you and say hey! I've turned on the bell to make sure I can attend. I only ask that you get that going in your own time, priorities first!! Cheers from Ottawa :)
Hi Garrett,
Check out Adam Janzi from Vola: "VOLA - '24 Light-Years' (Drum Playthrough by Adam Janzi)"
Really cool stuff!
Take care!
I think you turned the video down a tad too much. Seem stressed out though man hope everything is well.
Nice to see you again, but you seemed kind of sad or upset with something, hope things get better on your life, you have a great content and seens to be a great guy
Navene is sick dude
Christ Turner - Triggered ft Thomas Lang!!!
Also good to see you around, even if it's not as often as you used to be :)
Ah, as a new dad myself, I totally feel this video. 😪
he's the drummer of the band Entheos (whose song this is), among other things....
Dude you should watch him playing C.A.F.O live, it's just insane 😵
Yay! :D
You should do some collab drum talk/reaction with Andrew Rooney some time! I think you two would make a great team, considering both of you come from a popular/jazz music background and react to pretty much the same drummers! Would be great to see
He plays in Entheos right now, and they’re fuckin nasty.
You definitely need to react to EL ESTEPARIO SIBERIANO playing dream theatre with a 3 piece kit !!!
You should really check out Navene when he was with Animals as Leaders. CAFO
Chris Allison- Glass Bead Game for sure.
Hope to see you react to Brandon Morgan playing The Shallows on his UA-cam
Da boi
At last!! ^^
Hey brother, just watched this after watching your tool video earlier today for the millionth time. I have no idea of what's going on in your life BUT you and I are about the same age (hitting 40) and I also have two very small kids (1/3) and I know how exhausting it is, physically/metally/on a relationship. There's light at the end of the tunnel bud. Hope you're looking after yourself. Sent you some money on PayPal just now to get lunch on me. See you back here when you feel up to it and not a minute before.
React to Matt Garstka’s play through of Monomyth!
Do Marco Ianetta- Songo :) really funky organic stuff, would love to see your reaction and comments.
you NEED to react to: Dirty Loops - Work shit out
shoulda played some of his entheos videos, he plays much more varied stuff in those
That is an Entheos song btw, just a little more straight forward for them. I think the Melancholia performance form the same Meinl session has a lot more dynamics and is more in line with the rest of their catalog. Can't wait to here the new stuff!
So I'm most curious...
...Who's that one individual which hit the thumbs down option?
1...2 it's okay I'll wait...3
Hey brother! I’d love to help out on the tech side of things. We all love you man. I’d love to add value if at all possible.
Do a Jazz drummer racts to a song by Freak Kitchen like "Silence" "Teargaz Jazz" he´s a really good drummer (Björn Fryklund), A MUST CHECK OUT!!!
Have to agree with a few others that you seem to be a tad down. Looked like you were forced to do this video and I think that is not good. Take all the time you need to get things together in your life and dont worry about the channel. Me and many other will be here for your even if it takes a year or two to upload another video!
Damn man, can see you haven't slept or something. Take a break, come back when you're fresh no pressure dude!
You should deffinatley check out Kenny grohowski
Hey man, I hope you're well. I don't have any kids, but I've seen what the responsibility of having multiple small children does to a person. Please take care of yourself. Your channel is great, and I love your content. Be well, my friend.
How can I send you a message? I have something unique and awesome and worthy of review
hopefully just dad fatigue. it happens. stay well
Jazz drummer needs to react to some NOFX
Navene's the OG of this shit. If you wanna see a china get beat like a pride fighter, Song of Solomon from AAL is hnnnnnng

Flo mounier
As others said before. You seem really drained. Take good care of yourself!
After meshuggah all djent is downhill. It ends in a purgatory of overly expensive gear and training for nothing. Spreadhseets are efficient but time methinks for some fresh vibrations from off the grid.
The crowd wanna blast? Brian Chippendale in black pus or lightning bolt. Something to behold!
Feelin Mr Miller and wanna be awash with dynamic range? Gavin Wallace-Ailsworth of Bent Knee.
If we're keen for some oft-overlooked yet iconic cult stylings? Chris Hakius of Om/Sleep, Mark Greening of Electric Wizard, and Travis Owen from Weedeater (check the stick tricks vid haha).
Or maybe....we're intrigued at the prospect of what meshuggah sounds like crossed with... pink floyd?! Treat yourself to Jarkko "Korjak" Salo of Oranssi Pazuzu.
Sorry I realise the patreon is the place for this stuff, I'll jump on there when I'm better positioned to patronise, promise! At least it still satiates the algorithm.
P.S. You should hit someone up for a GMD graphic, just like a quick cut with your font/logo design. You could use that as an outro cut (as your intros are part of the charm). Some channels like to roll credits of their patreon supporters over a related image/logo as their outro. It rolls pretty well off a 'thanks, subscribe, merch, goodbye' wrap up. Anyway peace & love man, keep it up, together we'll find 1.
Meshuggah is not the be all and end all. They paved the way for sure, but there are certainly great “djent” bands that have been innovative.
@@jen.g. You're right that one Karnivool album, Themata, was phenomenal. And I suppose tesseract have one good song i can't remember the name of ;p.
For e.g. I don't count gojira or syl/dtp as djent, which leaves me feeling that on the contrary, meshuggah embodied the emergence and the totality of whatever that genre is. There's aesthetic layers of angelic vocals like those i mentioned, the stylistic divergences of hybrid picking in aol and the cybernetic chaos of sporadic fx walls in car bomb (which seems to have merged the mathcore of dillinger). My personal favourite to emerge would probably be combat astronomy, the trancey sampling and experimental melodic leads push it into psychedelic territory Meshuggah would often allude to or give respite with ...before soon snatching away. Its creative and i love it. So not to deny such bands don't exist and have their place for us all, I was clearly taking some artistic licence with my metaphor.
Yet... I just can't fathom any such band actually being held up to meshuggah in terms of 'djent' or in the scope of critiquing rhythm sections. That's different to say the three stoner/doom bands i listed together, who are generally held in the same regard post sabbath. Most genres have a handful of bands that its hard to deny are all positioned at the zenith of the sound. Thrash probably being the most notable for that in metal.
I feel that Meshuggah is more like sabbath in their foundational significance and genre hegemony. Continuing my metaphor would make DTP and Gojira like led zeppelin and deep purple. Massive and awesome bands, with massive crossover influence, but not the ones attributed the metal ancestry like sabbath.
I've seen the those three play together or with openers and they're all very different beasts. Karnivool opening for meshuggah held their 'djent' ground, but they never followed through really after that themata (imo).
By all means chuck me some names, I'm all about more music!
@@ripvanwando checkout Car Bomb if you do not know them. They are not djent, and if someone calls them djent then they’re most likely unfamiliar with mathcore, but Car Bomb is like a some how more technical, more music/rhythmic theory in their playing. Their songs are just disgusting. Consistent stank face.
Frontierer is also a great mathcore band. Sorry, I know you’re really talking about djent, but, yk, progressive metal, djent, mathcore, pretty close.
@@ripvanwando I second the car bomb thing. Car bomb is the direct descendant of meshuggah. Car bomb adds metric modulation and some odd meter to the meshuggah formula. Specifically their records w^w^^w^w, meta and mordial. Their first record is okay, but when they became less sporadic, their writing got really good. Frontierer is cool too. Both bands are probably the best groups post meshuggah.
The reaction seemed reasonable to me. The song was solid, the drumming was solid but nothing mind blowing.
If you want to grow your channel, even more, start reacting to Nightwish and the Nightwish Army will invade your comments. Symphonic Metal with incredible musicians including Kai Hahto now.
Jesus loves you deeply and I am praying for you. He's the one to run to
Your voice vs track volume is waaaaaaay to heavy on voice. Cant ever hear what i being played, and i heard you adjust the track volume to being to quiet at the beginning.
You're gonna do a live stream?
Shut up and take my money
This guy has a weird vibe
The volume is all the same, and it's all too quiet.
This was boring. Sub par for what I'm used to seeing on you channel. Be well
Agree he's gone way down feels very fabricated and fake but also super depressing to watch
