From a non-drummer perspective it REALLY helps when you can hear/see everything this well. I get absolutely lost in these videos and the most I can play is my steering wheel.
7:28 Keeping a steady 3-eightnote beat on the right hand and then switching it to a 4-eightnote beat all while keeping that djenty pattern going with the kick and cymbals underneath... It's one of the coolest things he does. Gives the riff a completely different feel.
It's beautiful and holy hell how good you have to be to play like that w such smooth flow and that limp independence.... it's one thing w kick and both hands, but always w that hat at the same time. Wild.
Seriously this album is the best of every single member of the band. Top notch drumming by Jay, the tapping in this song, the slap pattern of the bass in Burden and the awesome vocal delivery of Dan in every single song is just nuts. They have surpassed all my expectations
Same for me! Was lucky enough to get to meet them at a bar after a show in Oslo some years back! I have always been in awe of Jay, this here really shows his ability and feel around the kit, absolutely love the playthrough and song!
For real! This is the most complex stuff for drumming in Tesseract. I've heard similar things in his Heights work but not in Tesseract! I'm happy to see how it's being incorporated and uncorked!
@@reiniervanzwieten7092 gotta say, that sometimes is s cary thing for a drummer but Jay is good enough! It's an amazing playthru More technical then anything prior!
@@reiniervanzwieten7092This is honestly more what I meant by my comment, but the song is insane too- Yes, this is the first time that it’s actually Jay on the record and not programmed drums that he had to learn after the fact for the live shows. So excited to hear the rest of it!!! 🤘🏻
the groove hits so hard and jay is just having tons of fun behind the kit. feel so blessed to be in the same time as this band and the continuation of prog rock as a whole
A cymbal set up of the gods. They compliment each other so well. No weird overtones that bleed into other cymbals. You can clearly hear the difference with each hit.
Jay is a high-tier drummer!! All the grooves + creativity applied to this awesome track are 'out of the box,' kinda thing. The drums sounds extra KILLER! Such a great mix, and I want that 22" Byzance Vintage Crash NOW! Haha.
Jays work on this song is unreal, he never fails to amaze me. I love how he always looks like he’s having so much fun too. Can’t wait to hear the rest of the album! 🔥🔥
what a celebration of fine music .. awesome play through.. beautiful sound .. love it! that part 2:20 is superb.. whole song is like a Movie.. so much effort and talent to put it together for the love of Music.. genuine and breathtaking
My 2 favorite guys in the game are Jay and Mike Malyan because of stuff like this. Love the similarities between the 2 of them how they are both so groove oriented and the facial expressions they both make, you can appreciate how much they enjoy their craft. This is some of Jay's best work though. Can't wait to hear the rest of the album
Mike was the most amazing choice to fill in for Jay temporarily! I have the utmost resect for @mikemalyan (one of my favs) but the Jay & Mike "learning the songs" videos put Jay's licks in a whole new light of appreciation!
Always blows my simpleton mind when he plays stuff just right to where you think it ISN’T 4/4, then you look at the hi-hat just bopping along at a nice and happy, normal 4/4 🤘🏻🙂
"Yeah they're alright but they don't even do polyrhythms like tool does" Yeah, okay bud. lmao Everything about these guys is pure mastery of rhythm, tone, and composition!
@@jjcdrummeranyone who compares Jay to Danny is a fool, they are completely different styles of drummers, and both elite in their style of drumming. It is well understood Jay pushes Progressive Metal while Danny has a huge Jazz Fusion and World Music flavour to his approach to his more Progressive Rock approach, leading to very different polyrhythmic approaches; though, Jay is a much more polymetric drum player. If anyone reading this likes both approaches, I can't recommend enough carefully listening to Matt Gartska on Parrhesia by Animals as Leaders!
Saw TesseracT for the first time in 2016 at Terminal 5 in NY, and they played Deception. And I was blown away, and I haven’t stopped listening to them since.
I just finished from transcribing the section of min. 2.20 and I went to youtube to chill a little and this pops out in front of my face. Thanks dear Jay ! ❤
Discovered Tesseract during their Sonder era. War of Being is truly a masterpiece in my opinion! The talent that every member of this band demonstrates is f*cking astronomical.
When ever I see or hear a drum play through I am relaxed.....that speaks on many volumes & levels Also while I'm throwing statements out there, this is easily one of the heaviest songs the triangle cube has ever written!!!
God almighty, this may be my favorite drum playthrough on youtube. Jay is a beast and a pleasure to watch. This definitely isn't my first time watching. More like tenth? More to come for sure haha.
His groove on this song is unmatched, everything from the cymbal play to the ghost notes is so perfectly placed. Cant wait to see these dudes in November, I’m just going to be standing there with my arms crossed and my jaw on the floor lol
the whole arrangement makes way more sense listening to the isolated drums! No idea how the composition itself managed to get the whole instrumental spun into an incomprehensible web - but it worked! damn, that's masterclass musicianship!!
Fuck yeah. I've been waiting for a cover or something, so i could appreciate the drums in isolation, and got something way better. Love you Jay, thanks for this awesomeness
Did Jay practice drums for every possible moment during covid? He's seriously levelled up in recent vids I've / since Sonder, and was already amazing. This is great.
I just set all the clocks in my house to this 😉 Really interesting choices and feel changes etc. Kick placement is so good. Accents are placed deftly. Love it all
Fk this was ethereal, so much soul and groove, the fun he is having on the kit makes me want to have fun on a kit.And i drum in a DAW no where close to this talented need to see that again.
The fact that Jay goes "=O" and "xO" mode during his amazing performance, is wholesome. Big up, Jay. :eddie:
He does 15 things at once while I struggle to do 1 thing in 15 minutes.
When your trying to count while playing and it makes you wanna orgasm because you’re keeping up 😂
Punk o matic
Jay is one of the most underrated drummers in the modern era. Just pure skill and finesse
I've NEVER underrated Jay...EVER!
Unacknowledged not underrated, I'd say.
Christ, y’all knew wtf I was saying…damn
@@garyrsingleton😂
IMO he is the most musical drummer in the metal business
So many layers of cymbals/toms. Awesome. Sound engineer deserves a raise, everything sounds fantastic
From a non-drummer perspective it REALLY helps when you can hear/see everything this well. I get absolutely lost in these videos and the most I can play is my steering wheel.
Fantastic mix
One of their guitar players takes care of a lot of the mixing and engineering, he's really good.
@@DandelionVolta acle
@@DandelionVolta Acle Kahney, one of the very best in the game.

The double kick starting at 2:20 gives me goosebumps every single time ..
The groove is ridiculous good
Sounds exactly like the record. Such a tight and energetic Performer. The "Meinl DrUm Honey" got me 😂
Meinl drum honey 😉😉😉😉😉
This whole performance is tasty 😋 but every drummer loves the 4 4 6 7 part 😂
Been following this band for almost a decade… this is everything I could’ve ever asked for TesseracT does not disappoint!
Same for me! Was lucky enough to get to meet them at a bar after a show in Oslo some years back! I have always been in awe of Jay, this here really shows his ability and feel around the kit, absolutely love the playthrough and song!
They just keep getting better!
I just discovered them a few weeks ago and I can’t stop listening to them!
Been obsessed since around 2011, I am so excited for the new record. Got my ticket for Melbourne show next year 😄
This is so damn good. Can’t wait for this new album. Jay has FINALLY been properly unleashed on one of their albums and I am HERE FOR IT 🤘🏻🫡
For real! This is the most complex stuff for drumming in Tesseract. I've heard similar things in his Heights work but not in Tesseract! I'm happy to see how it's being incorporated and uncorked!
@@cynaptyc I believe i heard Jay say that this is the first album that is gonna feature real drums
@@reiniervanzwieten7092 gotta say, that sometimes is s cary thing for a drummer but Jay is good enough! It's an amazing playthru

Seriously, we’ve been so damn lucky with so much AMAZING modern prog in the last decade and a half.
A cymbal set up of the gods. They compliment each other so well. No weird overtones that bleed into other cymbals. You can clearly hear the difference with each hit.
That double kick section is no joke. Legenddddd
He’s so precise, and seemingly in an unbreakable flow state… What a beast 🔥
Honestly, this is a beast of a track. Love seeing these playthroughs. It's so so satisfying to witness
This guy is quickly becoming one of my favorite drummers.
The amount of joy I see in him when he plays this is wonderful.
Jay is a high-tier drummer!! All the grooves + creativity applied to this awesome track are 'out of the box,' kinda thing. The drums sounds extra KILLER! Such a great mix, and I want that 22" Byzance Vintage Crash NOW! Haha.
6:47 those drums sound perfect, so beautifully tuned 😍
Some interesting melodic connection with song King. Drumming and sound are flawless as always. Thank's to all who making this great content!
that 22" Byzance Vintage Crash may be the most musical cymbal i have ever heard
Jays work on this song is unreal, he never fails to amaze me. I love how he always looks like he’s having so much fun too. Can’t wait to hear the rest of the album! 🔥🔥
Jay and Matt Halpern have some of the best cymbal work out there.
Absolutely second this
Jay's drumming and composition is like a tender rib eye straight from the butcher - beautiful, succulent, ethereal...
what a celebration of fine music .. awesome play through.. beautiful sound .. love it! that part 2:20 is superb.. whole song is like a Movie.. so much effort and talent to put it together for the love of Music.. genuine and breathtaking
Jay and Adam are some of the slickest drummers out there right now. Taste. Just perfect. Good time to be alive.
I have watched this so many times, never get tired of it, always learn something new. Keep it up Jay!
Meinl cymbals is killing it sponsoring these type of drummers

One of your best performances and one of the best of the year and decade.
All I'm thinking is "The click in his ears is in 4/4".
What an absolute beast!
Always blows my simpleton mind when he plays stuff just right to where you think it ISN’T 4/4, then you look at the hi-hat just bopping along at a nice and happy, normal 4/4 🤘🏻🙂

Bro whoever mixed this needs to start producing records.
Nothing better than watching a great drummer have fun doing what he does best.
My dudes ive put this on repeat at least 50 times! Cant wait for the album!!!
Dude… this is fantastic. Finally Jay is getting the spotlight he absolutely deserves. Loving to see this
i always loved how he orchestrates the crashes
Been a huge fan of Jay for years now. I absolutely love his linear approach to playing. Superb!!!
True master of the drum craft! So nice to hear and watch Jay play
What a song has Tesseract done...and such a powerfull performance on drums, Jay makes the kit sound really amazing, congrats
Flawless! I always love seeing the creativity of each member of this band!
One of the most underrated prog drummer. You deserve more viewers then this
What a privilege to be alive at the same era as Mr. Jay!
Saw TesseracT for the first time in 2016 at Terminal 5 in NY, and they played Deception. And I was blown away, and I haven’t stopped listening to them since.
Lets go Jay!!!! Man those cymbals are so gorgeous and crisp. I love it!
7:28 that shift to the next section broke my brain. God that's good...
I just finished from transcribing the section of min. 2.20 and I went to youtube to chill a little and this pops out in front of my face. Thanks dear Jay ! ❤
The video we didn't know we needed. The lighting in this is gorgeous, also Jay 🫰🏻
I’ve been waiting for this play through since the song came out!
Discovered Tesseract during their Sonder era. War of Being is truly a masterpiece in my opinion!
The talent that every member of this band demonstrates is f*cking astronomical.
When you love and enjoy focus at what you doing at the moment ❤ is so beautiful
the moment at 8:20 , when jay just closed his eyes and sang along, hit home for some reason
This is the best video of this channel.
Thanks so much for making this one.
The sound. The flow. The style. Unreal.
When ever I see or hear a drum play through I am relaxed.....that speaks on many volumes & levels
Also while I'm throwing statements out there, this is easily one of the heaviest songs the triangle cube has ever written!!!
God almighty, this may be my favorite drum playthrough on youtube. Jay is a beast and a pleasure to watch. This definitely isn't my first time watching. More like tenth? More to come for sure haha.
Such a banger. I have been a big fan for about 12 years, and this is peak TesseracT, it is not even up for discussion. Sick as fuck.
That snare is massive!
So effortless...congratz on the new single Jay and TesseracT!!! Love it!! 11 minutes of heaven!
That little switch at 4:22 is so 👌👌
That is why Jay is one of my favorite drummers!!!
Jay also teaches many of these killer drum beat, bass pedal techniques on his own youtube channel. Great guy!!!
His groove on this song is unmatched, everything from the cymbal play to the ghost notes is so perfectly placed. Cant wait to see these dudes in November, I’m just going to be standing there with my arms crossed and my jaw on the floor lol
DZJEESUS! So clean and energetic! Love the slack tom drumhead tuning. Props Mr. Postones.
3:35 i love the way the song kinda stop and then burst my ears off to another dimension
best overall mix in any of these videos I've seen by a mile.
the whole arrangement makes way more sense listening to the isolated drums! No idea how the composition itself managed to get the whole instrumental spun into an incomprehensible web - but it worked! damn, that's masterclass musicianship!!
What a great drummer! Big respects for his performance on all vids here at meinl cymbals. 🤘🤘
Love that snare! Perfect amount of bounce/depth and that high end attack from the rimshot, and realism but still very polished.
Can't wait for the full album, absolute banger!
Jay, Baard Kolstad and Sleep Tokens' II are the best drummers of modern music (my opinion) 💪 Each of them stands out in their own, unique way.
I agree, I´d love to see Baard on this channel one day :´)
And dont forget Matt Garstka and Matt Halpern🔥
You literally share this experience with this guy by watching his sheer "oneness" with the song and drums.
siempre he seguido a este panita Joy, simplemente unos de mis mentores en Bataca !
Love your arrangement. The section starting at 5:10 is gold! 🤟🏽 ohh and the one at 6:38 as well.
Fuck yeah. I've been waiting for a cover or something, so i could appreciate the drums in isolation, and got something way better. Love you Jay, thanks for this awesomeness
That's one of my favorite mic tricks there - small condenser and a 57 on the snare together. Pop for days!
You are truly the most amazing time keeper I’ve ever seen.. much respect!!!
Did Jay practice drums for every possible moment during covid? He's seriously levelled up in recent vids I've / since Sonder, and was already amazing. This is great.
I am beyond excited to see you guys again in NYC!
Incredible! You're just making it crazier every album!
Love this song the end is epic!
Jay is locked in. Solid sound engineering too!
it’s awesome to see the playthrough, excellent song, excellent drummer, excellent sound engineer
Dude moves around the kit smooth as hell like its easy ... just having fun playing awe inspiring complex grooves 😂
Hell yeah been waiting for this one! What a drummer, what a band!
This man is just so happy to be playing drums.
Cymbals sound perfect Jay. Light and crispy. 🤌
That last section is so beautiful.
I want a clinic with Jay and Matt Halpern. The two Prog Drum Gods. This is so other level.
This track is lit and the playing is as clean as many whistles. That floor tom is big and fat and phenomenal sounding.
This is so inspiring. As song and as drumming approach. Love so much
4:35 that Meshuggah face
Nice xd
sweet
I just set all the clocks in my house to this 😉
Really interesting choices and feel changes etc. Kick placement is so good. Accents are placed deftly. Love it all
Wow, what a drummer! Never really listened to Tesseract before. Gonna have to check them out
I love the swing feel. I dont think ive heard it in this context before . Very nice!
I would say simply incredible, but there's nothing simple about this. Just incredible.
Dude is a such a beast! I really hope we get some more play through from the new album!
Amazing! Love this song and so happy to see Jay smash through it !! 🤘🤘🤘
Incredible performance. I’m speechless
Incredible 🔥🔥🔥🔥 can't wait for the tour! Who's in for London? 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽
See you there 😊
Fk this was ethereal, so much soul and groove, the fun he is having on the kit makes me want to have fun on a kit.And i drum in a DAW no where close to this talented need to see that again.
My favorite part is just what an insanely good time he’s having.
This is what my drumming sounds like in my head. 😄 Killer stuff! 🤘
