    The biggest thing people seem to miss with Chris' drumming is that Chris has also played guitar and he is a riff writer on the drums. He literally riffs out on drums, writing drum parts that stand on their own as a musical idea. It's something that stood out to me right from the first time I heard these guys. 11th Hour and Ruin are absolute drumming classics! Epic as efffffff

One thing that you miss in the Modern Drummer performance is that when he goes into the 4/6 polyrhythm on the bell of the ride cymbal the lyrics are "The anvil cracks The hammer" .... so it gives that whole blacksmith rhythmic hammering texture counter to the pulse of the song.

    I was backstage at a LoG show many years ago and caught sight of Chris doing his warm-ups.
    Instead of a practice kit, he had an bunch of 2x4s set in such a way that the ends of the 2x4s were in the places drum skins would be.
    He had kik pedals hitting 2x4s.
    (I'm not a drummer but assume this an accuracy exercise?)
    I had never heard of them, but was very impressed with this guy warming up in the back of a truck, and was looking forward to seeing the band....
    Needless to say I bought the record the next day...(actually the "Killadelphia" DVD)

    I have this DVD and the talking parts with Chris are really great. One of the more interesting revelations is when he talks about being asked about some of his “weird” choices with what hand/foot he leads with at points in time of a song or his other stylistic choices. What Chris let people know was that he is actually left handed. He said that when he bought his first kit and began to learn to play he set his drums up to what he always saw his favourite drummers were doing. He then recalled the first time he saw a drummer with his hi-hat “on the wrong side” until he figured out the guy was left handed. Chris was far enough along into his learning he never bothered to try it the “right way” and just looked at it as another obstacle on his path to learning drums. He can’t read music or transcribe what he’s doing when he plays…….he said he calculates and figures out and then commits it to memory to play the songs. If I recall correctly he said he doesn’t play to a click track either.
    Superb drummer and also very smart and well spoken.

    Great vid Andrew! Can you react to Dominator's drum cam whilst playing Vorbiscum Satanas? Might not be your type of music but I've honestly never seen someone hit a drum kit so hard, fast and accurate for as long as that's guy!

    You should seek him out. I've bumped into him twice at other bands' shows in Richmond, VA, maybe like 8-10 years ago. I got a picture with him both times and he seemed to be just a super dude. Obviously there to check out the other bands (BTBAM, Tesseract, and Animals as Leaders was one show), but was hanging out by the sound board all night taking pics and signing stuff. It would be great to hear you and Chris chatting it up all nerdy about drums.

    Only guitar and drums were used for the drum festival, his brother Willie Adler (one of the two guitarists for Lamb of God) was playing the guitar backing for him alone at the festival.
    Honestly as someone who is familiar with the song, it's a really interesting listen to simply take all the bells and whistles away of the bass, second guitar and vocals just so you can focus purely on the instrumental aspect of the drumming while retaining the context of the song.

    One of my old bands actually played 2 back to back shows with Lamb of God when they were called Burn the Priest and the first thing I noticed about Chris when he played was that he sits really low on the kit. Even back then before their name change he was one of the best drummers I had ever seen. Like you said, he is so relaxed while playing and one of the nicest guys you could talk to. Those 2 shows that we played with those guys are 2 of my favorite memories. I think the first show there were more band members than people in the crowd and 2nd show was insane playing at some old barn in Ohio that had a skate bowl built inside it with us and them (Burn the Priest-LOG) playing on a platform, just big enough for a band to fit on built outside the barn, that was also about 30 feet in the air so one wrong step and down you went...lol. As the bands played there were semi pro and pro skaters skating this giant bowl inside this barn ... one of the craziest experiences of my life. That being said, Chris is definitely an amazing drummer.
