With Plini being such a nuanced song writer, having musicians around him that can write to match is so awesome! You're an incredible drummer and musician Chris! Definitely appreciate this insight!
What a monster dude. Guys like him Joey Bacca (The Contortionist) and Adam Janzi (Vola) should be mentioned with the Halperns and Gartska's of the world. They are such technical freaks but thier groove and feel is out of this world too
Joey’s ability to write creative parts is really high up on the list. Wish they were a little more active right now!
Yes, absolutely true!
Chris amd Simon are one of the best rhythm sections out now. Saw them last march and they are just as tight live together as Chris is here.
Was blown away by his creativity on the last Plini material. Some other drummers I would love to see on here.
1. Blake Richardson - Between the Buried and Me
2. Baard Kolstad - Leprous
3. Ray Hearne - Haken
I would die to see ray here
@@lowqualitypaddlersame here man. I didn’t listen to Haken for the longest time and when I saw them at a Contortionist show I was floored. He has written some of my favorite drum parts I’ve heard in a while.
Baard for sure🔥
Baard would be wild!!!
All excellent suggestions!
I saw them play before Periphery in November and was totally blown away. They opened with Glass Bead Game and i was an instant fan (still my favorite song by them)
These guys are unbelievable, they make great music, and the show was SUCH a good time. I've been listening to plini ever since (even last night)
Chris is one of the most underrated drummers too and his playing goes so perfectly with the music.
I saw them on that tour too in November. I was at the show in Worchester. Chris absolutely slammed on the drums. Great show. Been an Plini fan for a while since Troy Wright played with him. Love Chris just as much as troy
@@krisramos7453 thats the one I went to as well lol Plini even pronounced Worcester right
LOVE this!! Chris' beat in the middle of "I'll Tell You Someday" with the 5/16 hats ostinato over the top of the back beat took me MONTHS to learn but it's one of the most fun and most creative beats I've heard, not to mention when the ghost notes get added!
Chris, and Plini are so underrated at the moment. Grateful for Drumeo for getting a great like Chris on for this!!
22:10 D’ANGELO MENTIONED‼️‼️‼️
Chris opened my eyes to a whole new side of drumming. So stoked he got to be featured. This really highlights how insane some of his playing is, he has Danny Carey level limb independence
Chris Allison and II within a month of each other? You're really spoiling us now! I really love the intensively creative parts that Chris has created in his playing for Plini.
I'm SO stoked Chis (and Plini by default) are being featured here. One of my absolute favorite bands and drummers. Plini has been super fortunate with both Troy and Chis drumming for him.
One of the things I love about Chris's work and Plini's albums is that you can listen to it as a drum record as much as a guitar record or even a bass record. Or just a record. As a lapsed drummer, I gotta say I'm always following Chris' drums predmoninantly when I listen to Plini (which I do a lot). Plini's music leaves so much space for drumming expression and nuance and Chris fills the space wonderfully.
I saw Chris live with Plini last year, unforgettable...
So happy to se Chris Allison in Drumeo. This guy's a beast in every sense.
Plini is one of those bands where Troy and Chris both have been phenomenal drummers!
This dude has a brain in each limb...amazing!
This is so pure and genious Level drumming. Loved every Minute, Thank you so much!
Is amazing drummer. I seen him live not too long ago and he’s amazing in concert and thank you for teaching and doing lesson.
Wow an Aussie drummer on drumeo! oi oi oi Magic!
What a great drummer! Never heard of him before, but i am a fan now. Needs way more views
The dude is a stone cold KILLER! 😮 He NAILED that intro not once but TWICE. What a beast.
That ride crashes so good. Taken a lot away from what said. Great work x
Always in the morning and always a great start to the day, thank you!
Great lesson, Chris!
The opening line of this vid is so incredibly important! Love this
I heard Plini for the first time when I saw them open for Animals as Leaders in Vancouver around 7-8 years ago, so right before this guy joined the band. They were killer. This drummer is amazing. Fun grooves to get inspired by. 😊
I love this guys drumming. its awesome, its fantastic, its bombastic!
Absolutely love Chris' drumming and his approach to teaching. I had the pleasure of taking a lesson with him on their last US tour and he was just an all-around great guy, with a boatload of knowledge to share. So glad to see him on here!
Truly my favorite. What a blessing this video is!
In 2022 Chris became a new inspiration to me just like Anika Niles and co... I really enjoy that kind of drumming!
Great players in this band, where the music comes before the shred.
Im a Plini fan for several years now, and have seen them live in Amsterdam last year. Chris's playing is so intresting and amazing to see/listen to. Love this episode already!
I watched Chris play with Plini back in November, opening for Periphery. I was so blown away, both by the band and Chris' playing.
Thank you so much that Chris was with Drumeo. Currently my favorite drummer.
Holy moly! I’ve never even heard of Plini before but that first song absolutely sucked me in. Gorgeous!
Incredible drummer. Creativity, complexity total package 🤘
Wow, I always loved plini. And Chris made me love them even more wow, that was an incredible performance to watch!!!
Impresionante lo que toca Chris Allison, admiración 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🤲🤲🤲🤲🤲🤲🙌🙌🙌
Chris became one of my favorite modern drummers when I saw him with Plini a few years ago.
I have since bought every transcription book of his playing on Plini albums and they are so much fun to learn
So cool seeing Chris' success!
Wow best drummer I’ve seen for year - humbling lol
One of the most inspiring drummerw I've come across. So tasty and still always serving the song
Incredible drummer!
Amazing talent!
Such an amazing player and such a cool guy
I am SO HAPPY
that was awesome !
Love the socks :)
A great Drumeo Live Lesson like in the old days ✌🏻👍🏻😀 I love to discover new bands and singers, songs with the help of Drumeo , thanks! 🙋🏻♂️🫡
30:27 - 30:51 Every time I listen to this part I get the feeling of dancing down a stairs which I know is weird to say but it just gives me that feeling. Always nice to see Chris live, seen him in Montréal this past May playing with Plini and it was an amazing show. The other thing that I really like about Plini and Chris' playing that he touched upon here is that they don't go overboard with the complexity of the music. A lot of other technical musicians do awe-inspiring things in their songs but they don't sound good.
1. Practice like Billy Ward. 2 . Make Sounds driven decisions. 3 . Respond to other musician. 4 . Listen, Transcribe , Learn, Modify , And go back for more . 5 . Tap into abstraction . 6 . Mix and Match . 7. Understand Song Structure harmony and Melody. 8 . Use Rudiments.
Amazing! Love the drumming here, so I looked up Plini who I had only vaguely heard of. THEN i realise Plini is from Sydney not far from me and they're playing at my old Uni in March. I'm getting tickets, hoping to see Chris there?
This was absolutely fantastic, what a great guy and drummer.
In these formats I feel you could still explain one fill, groove or technique, instead of it just being playthroughs.
Also Brandon: would have went? Bro...
Love this
Awesome drumming he really knows how to utilize that Constantinople ride
I would really love to see you guys have Stewart Copeland on here or possibly Lars Ulrich, great stuff guys! Keep up the great content
The Ryan Girdler of drumming 🏆
Muy muy bueno lo que hace buen bateros buena música saludos desde rosario Argentina.
This dude plays the drum like playing a whole ochestral
What a Monster !
Interesting kit, looks like Sonor with bits of Pearl and DW hardware.
Sounds alot like Joe Satriani's music. First time i've seen this guy! Awesome!
Legend.
Bello/Magnifico.🌡️🌡️🌡️🌡️🌡️🌡️
Master!
Holy wow dude.
What a guy!
These are tracks for drummers coming in and need either to learn the parts or play their own parts... Do i!
BRO THOSE SOCKS ALMOST MADE ME CHOKE 😂

How did I miss this stream? Was it for subscribers only at that time?
Great job on the lighting in this vid. Looks a lot less like a sterile music studio and more like a vibey session.
Nice
dimsunk needs a drumeo video
I think it would be interesting to see Mikey Curry (main drummer for Bryan Adams) on here. he is probably one of the most requested fill in drummers there is. from what I can tell most of Bryan Adams's hits all had Mikey on the drums.
If I'm not mistaken, he appeared one time playing Summer of 69 or another classic Bryan Adams song and talking a little bit about it. Dude is really musical.
Cool the double bass defo makes it sound more progressive. Im sure he thought about useing double bass vs not. The accents would of ended up on the snare and or toms otherwise. The double kick just pins it to a prog thing for me personally tho it is progressive music it is wonderful music actually and i feel all the better for watching this. Thank you🎉
Brann Dailor next!
Please get Ray Hearne from Haken on to do a clinic!
I wonder with a 9 minute song such as here how many takes it is before your happy with the track recording.
Time signature?
yes!
22/77
Next, Matt Garstka please.
ITS HIM
Breaking News....Time for Paulina Villarreal from The Warning. Best female rock band on Planet Earth. 3 sisters killing it Worldwide.... Dare you guys to have her on!!!
I was just thinking........to myself........and guys........correct me if I'm wrong. His drumming style is very very similar to
II ..... from Sleep Token. Could he ......be ............. nah.......... but could he .............be
Wenn ich doch nur 1 Prozent SEINES Talentes und Können besäss, damit wäre ich schon überglücklich
After the opening song, I would disagree with his opening statement that the song is most important. Seems like the God tier level chops required to execute with the song needs would be the most important.
Wanna know what's better than this? Is Daughters.
Love Chris's drumming and good advices, but the drumsound wasn't really balanced for this type of music in my opinion(a matter of taste, I know). Check out the drumsound on this liverecording with Plini & Kiko Loureiro, and Bruno Valverde(Angra) on drums. So much more power and articulations in the drumsound.

That snare is a hard pass, in fact the whole drum mix is but Chris` good energy made up for it tenfold.
Damn really? I thought the snare sounds like a gunshot! I can agree with the Tom sound though, I’m not a coated head fan, but What don’t you like about the mix?
@@MeshuggahFan-iy6tb I think the snare doesn`t really react well to that low tuning. And it`s way too loud in the mix. Plus the kick is too plasticky but i get it, it`s a drum show so they maybe have to get the drums in front a bit. Fair enough, maybe my comment was a bit too harsh. But the toms i think sounded good, that`s just my preference, the coating muffles the attack a little.
@bishopoftroy I agree on the plastic bass drum. That didn't sound very balanced with the rest of the setup, and his style of playing. The snare I think sounds killer, but I think I get what you mean. I think it's the controlled sound drumhead. Never been a fan of those. They have endurance, yes, but I find them really hard to lay into(for my playingstyle anyway). Never understood why so many drummers use them. Maybe the sound engineers find them good to work with(besides their durability)🤔
@@oceanwoe you couldn`t have said it "batter". It`s exactly that, now i realise.
