Love watching you drum man, such control and precision. Great groove and ease in your playing. Would love to see you cover some Karnivool, that stuff is definitely hard to play, but i'm sure you'd do a stunning job :-)
+Rabea Massaad In the 3(ish) years I've been following this channel I've never ceased to be amazed by the poise and relaxation in Troy's playing. He should be the poster child for good upper body form on the kit. Plus his improv is fucking righteous.
Let's be honest here - this is better than porn, anytime. Everything about his videos is simply flawless and I really don't understand how Troy is only slowly gaining subs. I mean of course the music he is playing is not suited for the masses but yet - when it comes to perfection (difficulty and technically) while still delivering joy to the fullest it is this very drummer. Amazing.
+Lukas T Aside from the fact that he's an amazing drummer let's see what is pulling him back from being famous . - One , he covers what HE wants and not what is ''Popular'' (aside from some cover wich i think was directed to grow his subs) but dont get me wrong this is great for him but not getting him many viewers or subs . - Second , while being really tight and solid he has nothing that makes him stick out from the other drummers (ex: luke holland with his stick flips or alex rudinger with his heavy hitter technique ) i mean something mastered to the point no one can sit and do the same thing . -Third , he's not constant on his upload . -Four , his mixing is good but the drum sounds really dry and he doesn't go that much into video editing and having all sort of crazy effects and POV . -Five , he's not a girl. i know most of you dont care about that stuff and thats why you're his subscribers , i don't think he's trying to be famous or a full time youtuber and thats why he's not. i respect him and his style but do not forget that you need to be an entertainer to be famous .
+Kevin Brisson True. And I know all of that. Even though I wouldn't say he is nothing too special or a certain signature. Not only does he have perfect combination of many aspects, you could also name him the ghost note master! It still is crazy he isn't even near 100k after all this time. Not that your sub number is all that important, just mentioning ;-)
I was so ultimately pleasantly surprised when ignorant me went to an Animals As Leaders concert in Haarlem, and you were there drumming for the support band. Like what, that was so cool. I might've even enjoyed Plini's show a little bit more than AAL's. The atmosphere was great!
This is called getting Plini'd - You go to a show to see AAL, Periphery etc and Plini is better than them haha...It has happened to me, and a lot of people I know several times now.
MAN! That solo at 3:38 was so tasteful. It felt like you were really comping the guitars and vocals, flawless phrasing and orchestration! And the polyrhythm at 3:28 mmmmm
When I say this on my feed I got excited. The more the video went on the more excited and pumped I got. I love your content. I miss this stuff. This is so dope.
learned Periphery existed a few days ago, found the song Alpha on the "Up Next" and watched it with curiosity. I had heard "The Way The News Goes" and a few others from a friend, but man, Alpha is so good. you can't stop listening. and to be honest, it's pretty uplifting
+ledgy69 Matt already played 22 faces over on his channel "Hellpern". I bet Troy plans to cover the songs that Matt has not already played on his channel. My suggestion would be a nice, long song like Omega.
***** I'd like that, but he said songs from Juggernaut in the description. Thinking back, I think Stranger Things is more fun to play from a drummer's point of view... I have a feeling he'll cover that.
+thtr1310 Stranger things is also super straight forward though. I'd rather him do something a little more interesting. But don't get me wrong, Stranger things is one of the best on the album, just pretty straightforward as far as the drum track goes.
I would love to hear more about your stroke, it's so smooth and efficient. I looked back at your older videos from a few years ago, and I can see a difference, but I can't tell what you changed in your technique to get so smooth on the stroke. I'm a drummer for 20 years, and have lost a lot of my strength in my stroke over the past several years. Trying to get back my strength and speed so I'm not straining behind the kit in order to play loud.
3:40-4:00 was an interesting take on that section. You kept it together and like the rest of it, added your own flavor to the bit. Nice job dude, same with your Tesseract covers.
Yo Troy, could you please please please do a cover of Paper Heart - Plini? One of my favourite drum tracks, especially the part where it slows down at 2:30... some really interesting drum fills and polyrhythms. huge fan of your drumming bro, thanks

+Rabea Massaad THE BEA HAS SPOKEN
And we all agree with him really don't we
+Rabea Massaad In the 3(ish) years I've been following this channel I've never ceased to be amazed by the poise and relaxation in Troy's playing. He should be the poster child for good upper body form on the kit.

OMG OMG OMG DO A JAM/COLLAB?
I am fangirling over here.
The two of my greatest idols in internet/UA-cam music.
Funny enough not everyone likes Karnivool in Australia
How do you make that stack? what do you use to hold both cymbals together? I've never made a stack before

Totally agree. Troy's a class act and great taste in music.
+Lukas T Aside from the fact that he's an amazing drummer let's see what is pulling him back from being famous .
- One , he covers what HE wants and not what is ''Popular'' (aside from some cover wich i think was directed to grow his subs) but dont get me wrong this is great for him but not getting him many viewers or subs .
- Second , while being really tight and solid he has nothing that makes him stick out from the other drummers (ex: luke holland with his stick flips or alex rudinger with his heavy hitter technique ) i mean something mastered to the point no one can sit and do the same thing .
-Third , he's not constant on his upload .
-Four , his mixing is good but the drum sounds really dry and he doesn't go that much into video editing and having all sort of crazy effects and POV .
-Five , he's not a girl.
i know most of you dont care about that stuff and thats why you're his subscribers , i don't think he's trying to be famous or a full time youtuber and thats why he's not. i respect him and his style but do not forget that you need to be an entertainer to be famous .
tl;dr sikkkuuuuunt

+Kevin Brisson you just mentioned Luke Holland in comparison with Alex Rudinger and Troy Wright; your opinion is fully invalid
Most underrated drummer on youtube!
Your control is just awesome!
3:27 this rhythm edit on the stack was siiick.
+Troy Dawdy Fuck yes
think thats called metric modulation
Insane metric modulation.
On second thought, it's a polyrhythm and not a metric modulation. Although the stack by itself can be thought of as metric modulation.
your supposed to wear a V-Neck when you play Periphery.....
troy wright is quickly becoming one of my favorite youtube channels, easily the best music-related channel i've ever come across
MORE!! MORE FROM PERIPHERY!!!
Ye, ye!!
The improvisation from 3:30 was amazing!

I already watched a million times... Troy Wright is the best drummer ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
MAN! That solo at 3:38 was so tasteful. It felt like you were really comping the guitars and vocals, flawless phrasing and orchestration!
And the polyrhythm at 3:28 mmmmm
I love the way his snare sounds.
I love reading your commentaries on songs you play in the video descriptions, you buff, snare haunting, always-perfect-cover-playing legend!
When I say this on my feed I got excited. The more the video went on the more excited and pumped I got. I love your content. I miss this stuff. This is so dope.
2:01 YEAAAAH!

true passion, an incredible sounding drumkit and one of my favourite songs = 5:32 mins of enjoyment :)
Seeing new videos from your channel on my UA-cam front page always puts a smile on my face. Keep up the good work!
One of the best drummers to watch
for everysingle drum cover just close ur eyes then u ll realize its troy wright, awesome sounds
Cool that you put your own spin on it. I know that Periphery had to tour a few times without Matt. I think you would be an incredible option for them.
Absolutely flawless, as per usual Troy!
I've honestly been checking your profile every day waiting for this cover. Literally jumped up and down when I saw this.
Went to see Periphery last night and this song was one of the best live!
That was absolutely amazing !! I LOVE your groove, your playing, your sound. It's phenomenal !! You are awesome !!
I can't be the only one who thinks his crashes sound like christmas jingles
after i read this i heard it lol its just preference or a loose washer under a felt . who knows but this is fuckin dope
I'm referring to his right crash, and also not the china
as soon as I read this comment it just sounded like he was beat some really loud jingle bells 😂😂😂
Too good! You have the cleanest execution of covers on the internet for sure.
yesss periphery ! 22 faces next? please? ; (

Zach Everett 22 faces is by far the simples song on the record. I'd like Heavy Heart or Rainbow Gravity personally.
Blake Warrens when did I ever mention 22 faces?
Great, clean, powerfull, tricky as always!
Insanity....pure insanity...phenominally executed and not over done...
Signature 'Luke Holland' ending stick trick? You deserve to be as well renowned as him for sure without the gimmicky flash! Awesome cover!
awesome cover, perfect performance
Drums remember me Do Not Look Down from Meshuggah. I love this song, one of my Alpha's favorites.
Amazing as always, Troy.
Nice drumming! Fantastic sound!
Matt would be proud ;)
Yeah this is amazing. Grade A playing and tight! Always excited when a new video from you hits the feed.
always dig your improvisations and interpretations...
Amazing drumming, very clear and on point with your grooves and fills. Good job man!
Great to see you play this!
You are so DOMINANT!
I would love to hear more about your stroke, it's so smooth and efficient. I looked back at your older videos from a few years ago, and I can see a difference, but I can't tell what you changed in your technique to get so smooth on the stroke.

Always killing it troy!
That is so freaking fantastic!
2:45 that is the best part of this song! Amazing ... 🔥🔥🔥
I love all of your videos, best drummer on UA-cam

Awesome cover your playing is so flawless!
Groove master!! Always perfect feeling, great job! ^^
Hell yeah!!! Great job Troy! I've been waiting for a new cover from you! :)
Fucking love your work Troy. All your little improves and things are killer, and that solo was rad. Keep it up
You're a monster dude and definitely a big inspiration for me
Troy Wright not gonna like you got some pretty good drum mixes especially when It comes back in at 3:17
Awesome as always.
Still waiting for more Karnivool covers :)
+Fábio Dias Absolutely ok mate!!! I think there are some pretty serious shit on their tunes! One of my favourite bands so far!

I love the way you use the high hat as a sort of physical metronome, wish i could do this haha!

Sick man, great job.
That was awesome!!!!
3:26 dat part makes me crazy, so hard to play!!! awesome job
awesome how you put all kinds of polyrhythmic beats in there. I don't know if I would be able to keep up!
Dear LAWD, you slaughtered this track. Holy guacamole!
Yes! Smashed it.
Awesome cover!
