Been playing 22 years. Can genuinely say you are a beast of a drummer mate. Fucking killing it holding that shit down up there and having fun while you’re doing it. Next levels of respect👊
Your FOH guy is MAJORLY blessed by the fact that you can tune so well and hit so hard and consistently. Those drums sound fucking MEAN. As a sound guy I am jealous of whoever that is.
"I got a haircut that day" "I need to get that gap filled over my nipple" Hell yea this is the content I subscribed for. Absolute beast drumming is good as well I guess...
"So what have we learned" Probably that you are way better at the drums than you give yourself credit for. Love this fucking song. Can't wait for more new stray.
Awesome shout out to The Town, what a fucking great movie. One of Ben Affleck's best performances, I think Fantastic performance from you as well man, loving watching you play live. And that kit looks and sounds so, *so* good. Great job dude 👍🔥
Fucken hell mate. When you dexcribed your face as looking like Mr Burns when he is an alien I fucken lost it, Couldnt control my laughter. Problem is im at work and I work in a University Library... that was awkward lol
I HATE, HATE, HATE that I only got to see half of your guys last song in Atlanta. Y’all did not deserve that, but kudos for still putting on a banger as show as if nothing went wrong. That’s CLASS.
i think this is one of my fav reactions youve done! Honestly, its my first time seeing you play 'live' (at an actual show, performing..) and you are amazing! Also, it is good to critique yourself and it is/was something you hadn't seen before, so imo its a good video to react too, even if it is You playin! Awesome song! Awesome Performance! Killer Video.. well done in all areas! 😏🤙
Yoooo I've been watching this channel for awhile now, but only JUST realized with this video that Craig is the Stray from the Path drummer. Just discovered Stray from the Path the other day. All very exciting things.
Sick play through! As far as your back and bum hurting it’s probably due to your throne tucking your tail bone in and rounding off your back. I had the same problem until I got the spinal glide drum throne. The gap in the middle of the throne let’s your tailbone rest untucked so it takes the pressure of your bum and back.. it’s worth a shot 🤷🏽♂️
I've said it before Craig and I'll say it again, this album is superb. I've listen to so many albums that came out this year and this sounds so real it's properly refreshing.
In reference to that 3 BPM drop, do you use a click live I assume? I think you've mentioned before how it helps keeps adrenaline tempo pushes in check. Beastly shit dude, keep em coming.
Been checking out your channel, love the candor, and great content. Curious if anyone in your band was influenced by One Minute Silence at all? Nobody in my circle knows who they are but used to dig it when I was coming up. Being, they’re from your neck of the woods etc. cheers 🍻
if you can and will question /seek faults in what you do, in the quality of what you do, and your motives leading to those actions, and are also willing to be questioned and evaluated by others concerning these points,... then you're not arrogant :)
if tom fucks up the thing in the intro, do you then have to hear it on the loop fucked up multiple times? Or does he just have another crack at it? or is he mint and just doesnt fuck it up? or is it one of those things you can just get away with if its fucked up? surely not if it s MAJORLY fucked up?
What is the difference between a flail and a Morning Star? A morningstar is a mace that has spikes instead of flanges. A flail has a length of chain with one (or more) balls on the end. All of these (historically) have come in varying handle lengths, often split into the footman and horseman categories. Thank fxxk for Google. This s**t is vital.
Lmao I love you did one on yourself finally 🤘🏻 I love this song too so even better 🔥 you killed it. Need to fill in them gaps though cause it could be better 😝 the gaps on your chest.
fffuuuuukkkkkkkkkkkkk, man i love i found stray in 22, mate its like the best evolution on rage a th mach, but man the drumming is really fukin exciting dude
If you would like to react to an artist you might not have heard of, I recommend Aesthetic Perfection with Gods and Gold. It features Richard Z Kruspe, (the guitarist of Rammstein)
Craig - I did not realize you are the drummer with Stray From the Path. Fortune Teller is a powerful song. Love your drumming, but you do look like a smacked out muppet. Love Guillotine also. Maybe you need a gimp mask or Batman or something? Not that it bothers me.
About time Craig reacted to this guy, I hope he tears him a new one.
Next video: Craig reacting to himself, reacting to himself (Confidenception)

@@ihopeyoubloom That dude is really good. Caught Stray in Houston a while back and it sounded sick.
A genuinely positive video. As always.
“Fuck you, me saying I’m shit. This is quite good. Go figure.” 💀
"I got a haircut that day" "I need to get that gap filled over my nipple" Hell yea this is the content I subscribed for. Absolute beast drumming is good as well I guess...

Probably that you are way better at the drums than you give yourself credit for. Love this fucking song. Can't wait for more new stray.
"Why is this quality GameBoy shit?"
Fuckin' dead.
you're an absolute unit behind the kit both physically and drumming-ly, amigo
I've been enjoying quite a lot of your tour outputs. It's quality audience that matters - not quantity. Get it!
I love the alternating crash hits at 9:42. Makes it even heavier than it already is.
Awesome shout out to The Town, what a fucking great movie. One of Ben Affleck's best performances, I think

I believe the weapon you're referring to is a flail. I only know this because I've been playing a lot of Elden Ring. Cool drumming btw
This is the answer.
Late to the party on this one but definitely enjoyed it. Love the energy, especially in that breakdown with the heavy kick
this song is rad. glad you fell in my youtube feed.
saw you in Portland. You killed it man
Enjoyed the honesty in this and unfiltered stream of consciousness. Also taking inspiration and tryna mix it up EVEN more so with my drumming too 😂😁🥁
I HATE, HATE, HATE that I only got to see half of your guys last song in Atlanta. Y’all did not deserve that, but kudos for still putting on a banger as show as if nothing went wrong. That’s CLASS.
playing on point excellent level of arrogance excellent hair cut standing on point 15/10
Going to a show in Australia now is basically paying to hear a backing track with only a few parts actually performed live.
I missed the Twitch stream, and I was hoping this would get uploaded here, I was not disappointed
Love this. Love you Craig - Sad I missed you in ATL but we'll get it next time
i think this is one of my fav reactions youve done!

Awesome Performance! Killer Video..
well done in all areas!

I appreciate all your work! Beast mode on bro! looking jacked!
Hows the cycle going for ya Craig? loving the testryceps! 😝
Reacting to your own playthrough, ultimate narcissism achieved ❤️
Wait a second...I SAW YOU WITH BAD OMENS AND SPIRIT BOX IN ST PETE!!! I've only been a casual watcher of your videos up until now. Subscribed!!
Sick play through! As far as your back and bum hurting it’s probably due to your throne tucking your tail bone in and rounding off your back.

The gap in the middle of the throne let’s your tailbone rest untucked so it takes the pressure of your bum and back.. it’s worth a shot 🤷🏽♂️
it’s probably to do with me breaking my t9 vertebrae in august tbh
@@reynlord666 oooffff! Yeah , definitely that. How’d it happen?
@@reynlord666LOSER
I've said it before Craig and I'll say it again, this album is superb. I've listen to so many albums that came out this year and this sounds so real it's properly refreshing.
This drum video blew me away when I saw it absolute beast behind the kit
Honestly I hope I get to mix Stray live one time. I think I’d crush it
Best drummer. Keep smashing it. 👍
Yes!!! Boston was amazing you guys killed it!
Watched myself watching this -stood up twice
Hey… that’s the paradise rock club!
When is he getting this drummer on the podcast? Dude is wicked!
hi hat close at the end of a fill will never not give me a raging honker
In reference to that 3 BPM drop, do you use a click live I assume? I think you've mentioned before how it helps keeps adrenaline tempo pushes in check. Beastly shit dude, keep em coming.
I don't know that I could do a 3 bpm drop on a song _without_ a click tbh!
Just fell in love mate. Cheers from NJ, actually from CA
I really need this man's drum routine, gmy- and diet program...
10:56 - Ball on a stick made me crease, just some poor guys nuts on a stick.
Great playing, butter mix, functional body > shredded, snare bomb highlight.
You're so fucking good man.

Confidence
Kicking the hell outta the kick drums and it doesn’t even shake.
8:18 Total beast mode. Man, this fires me up!
HAHAHA "reacting to MY OWN drumming (arrogance)"
That break face was so good
You reached a new level with your drumming.
if you can and will question /seek faults in what you do, in the quality of what you do, and your motives leading to those actions, and are also willing to be questioned and evaluated by others concerning these points,... then you're not arrogant :)
Awesome! Would you mind listing the ride and crashes you used? Are they all polyphonic?
those hi hat rolls are so damn crispy
It seemed like Vic Firth tried to censor the F bombs, and then just gave up.
Man plays sick ass drum parts that can hardly be heard in the crowd.
Yes
Does foh have a setting they switch to for those snare bombs or what up? Trying to look up videos on how to do them live but haven’t had any luck
Just clocked you used a first chair back rest and a roc n soc base. Clever
I've got a mace down my thumb to fill a gap,,do it!it's sick 😂
Just watched this playthrough last night, legit thought to myself.. I bet he watches this on his channel just for the lols and boom here we are
Really wish I could have seen you all play in Charlotte Nc a few weeks ago.
The old Travis barker slim down
How was that steel kit (looked like the slp one)? Your rack tom sounds awesome.
Your the best bro nothing but love. 👍
if tom fucks up the thing in the intro, do you then have to hear it on the loop fucked up multiple times? Or does he just have another crack at it? or is he mint and just doesnt fuck it up? or is it one of those things you can just get away with if its fucked up? surely not if it s MAJORLY fucked up?
He’s never truly fucked it up
Right up the algorithm
Is it much comfortable to play with a springy chair? I always play with a rigid chair. What Chair is that?
That beat is fucking filthy, my face screws 😫
Matt Dierkes is on some next level shit, dudes insane.
7:40 - Felt that disappointment hard!
Daddy is back
U crushed that song though, call it arrogance all you want that's still some damn fire
Side note: your skin is looking fantastic 🙌
Do you use a click pad on bass drum? Sounds so good!!!

Thank fxxk for Google. This s**t is vital.
Had no idea you play drums m8
Mix sounds beaut.
Lmao I love you did one on yourself finally 🤘🏻 I love this song too so even better 🔥 you killed it. Need to fill in them gaps though cause it could be better 😝 the gaps on your chest.
(Arrogance)
Welcome back, homie. I was briefly concerned that Florida was going to swallow you whole.
unique
I got some drum videos of Invent Animate and Dealer on UA-cam currently. Craig roast me.
your a beastie drummer c, fukin epic to see man
fffuuuuukkkkkkkkkkkkk, man i love i found stray in 22, mate its like the best evolution on rage a th mach, but man the drumming is really fukin exciting dude
What a beast 😮
If you would like to react to an artist you might not have heard of, I recommend Aesthetic Perfection with Gods and Gold. It features Richard Z Kruspe, (the guitarist of Rammstein)
Beast! 👌🤘
Lol, before I even watch this. This is what’s up!
“Dillinger blast” gtfo hahaha
The weapon is called a morning star I think
Mr burns as an alien but disappointed
They both give you ecstasy 😂
Anyway, we’re all fuckwits can’t wait for the next one 🔥
Craig, it honestly sounds like triplets on the kick.
Did you use the slp black brass snare?
yes, he did.
Definitely the best looking drummer
Geez, you look Eloy Casagrande beefcake in this video.
You're not angry... just disappointed
