VOLA is one of the best bands out right now. I freaking love them. I think I saw on Facebook this fun fact: Everyone in the band was originally a drummer, except Adam who is the band's drummer lol
Really cool heavy groove in six man! Great sounding choice of cymbal types and effects, perfect blend for that song. Killer hemiola pattern within the hi hat and the bell on top keeping an alternate pulse of four against six on the hi hat, well done man!
Stunning patterns. unique, yet perfectly accentuating for the song. Textural, yet driving. The only slight hold up, was a sense that the song would have had a more expressive climax if Adam just had one or two more cymbals to crash on that were not stacks. when he was accentuating on the stacks during the climax it felt a little out of place to do accents on such dry cymbals while riding the wash on his main crash for the majority of such an otherwise open sounding part of the song. that said, lovely piece! inspiring in both its creativity and technical execution.
So glad to see both VOLA and Adam getting the attention they deserve. Such a solid, fun band to listen to. Adam looks like he's taking a stroll in a park, not producing such solid beats. He makes genius look effortless. 👍
This song is so rare and awesome. Very nice drumming! The part of second verse with the reverse Cymbals is a wonderful groove! Adam you are a great Drummer!
@@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power listen to their Song "Stray the Skies" and call it NOT "djenty" lol - just because this song doesn´t have syncopated riffs etc., doesn´t mean, their music can't be considered "djenty"
@@Studerphil you name one song. Technically, almost any upbeat metal band can be called "djenty" by its onomatopeic meaning 😂🤷♂️ If I don't forget, I'll check out their catalogue when I get time.
Meinl must be happy to showcase a drummer who crashes cymbals the correct way. Seen so many drummers just full on beat the living downward shit on crashes.
Love his drumming. But what's with this new thing that less drums is more? Sounded really good,don't get me wrong,but are these young people so lazy that they can't manage a larger kit? LOL Big ups to this young drummer! You really sound good man.
So we went from the time old dudes made fun of young players with large kits to the time of old dudes making fun of young players with smaller kits? This timeline is whack.
Shut the front door. Everyone is saying how great he is...but no one is talking about what he is actually doing. At least this is what I hear and see. GHOST NOTES on the kick drum?! WT actual F!!! Am I seeing that correct?
Glad to see that Adam is getting more spotlight. He's such an awesome, incredibly creative drummer. Vola in general is an outstanding band.

VOLA is absolutely lit and Adam just awsome and worth playing Meinl cymbals...the best of the best
Thank you for introducing me to VOLA. New favourite band
A criminally underrated band and this dude too needs much more credit! Well done Meinl!

Had this groove in my head all day

Gonna start a gofundme for Adam. Dude owns no shirts.
Been watching Adam since he used to post on facebook groups his originals songs, an amazing drummer, glad that he is on the spotlight now
Their last album was mi favourite from the entire last year. Adam is just a technical machine and deep musical and creative. You picked wisely Meinl.
wonderful, u rock Adam, and that's ever so cool to see such pleasure playing music. damn great love it
Fantastic sounds and playing, love it!
I love it ! Adams is one of the greatest out there! Brilliant and stylish drummer !!
2:31 One of the best choruses/climaxes ever
FINALLY, I can't be the only one who thinks this :D
THAT'S MY MAAAAAN 😍💥
This specific song is without doubts my personal highlight of the Applause of a Distant Crowd album. So magical and beautiful ❤️
I have to agree, it's transcendental.
Very underated drummer,
Amazing Adam 👏🏼
love you Adam!!! such a unique touch in modern metal drumming
The band is awesome. This song is sick. Great work, Adam. You rock.
So glad to see both VOLA and Adam getting the attention they deserve. Such a solid, fun band to listen to. Adam looks like he's taking a stroll in a park, not producing such solid beats. He makes genius look effortless. 👍
Fantastic song choice!!! This music, played by Adam, makes me fly!!!
I love how Adam accents everything. That HCS Bell / Splash bell combination got me. Amazing as always Adam!
Been following this dude since 2013, glad to see him moving up in the world!
Super Dope… love your style
This song is so rare and awesome. Very nice drumming! The part of second verse with the reverse Cymbals is a wonderful groove! Adam you are a great Drummer!
I’ve listened to VOLA for a while, but this is the 1st time a tune of theirs has reminded me of Dredg.
the Dredg and Mew influences are what separate them from other djenty bands
@@azal191 you call this "djenty" ?
@@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power lmao right?

Amazing😁😁 can't wait to see you in Swiss
Cool technique! He delivers power with nuance and his right hand and arm movement really swings it even in a heavier context. Nice!!
It’s awesome to see how drumming has evolved over time. This is just the “Purdie Shuffle” adapted to a heavier style. So fucking cool
Fabulous stuff from Adam as always! Can’t wait to see him play with VOLA in the U.K. later in the year 🙌🎉
Great song, i have the album, its top album.One of my top 100 albums of all time, i can play this album anytime.
As always Adam killing it, so glad to see you here. Cheers!
VOLA is the band you’ve been waiting for
Adam Janzi is todays Bill Bruford! Vola is beyond awesome!
Great to see you here! I really liked your take on Meshuggah's Clockwork.
VOLA is one of my favorite bands. I love❤️ this composition Thank you for the video🙏🔥
First ZackGrooves now this. Thanks Meinl!
Now THIS is a musician and a true individual.
So great to see Adam play
Saw a shirtless man in the thumbnail and thought "Oh, that's gotta be the VOLA drummer."
I love Vola. This is unexpected and I’m happy.
Watch out, this is the future! Go Adam! 💪
Shia LeBouf really wants you to see him with his shirt off.
That was super tasty! Weird setup, nice playing 🤘
Nice feel brother
I can't wrap my feeble brain around this beat. 😩
Worth the wait but I believe there are more songs that he performed.. well hopefully that is.
More plz
loved this
Now that’s an interesting setup
super
Boa, Seu Madruga!
Magnificence
Adam is a sweet guy but a soldier behind
the kit!!
I didn't know Shia Lebouf played drums
Adam has his own smell of handle the time signatures and make juice from them!!!
He accents perfectly!
Meinl must be happy to showcase a drummer who crashes cymbals the correct way. Seen so many drummers just full on beat the living downward shit on crashes.
Sounds a little like Dredg
🤩🖖
Still be shirtless! Hehe
You don't have to swing hard to play heavy.
who knew Shia Labeouf could play drums?
Just do it !
Amazing and not even their best drum wise …
Love his drumming. But what's with this new thing that less drums is more? Sounded really good,don't get me wrong,but are these young people so lazy that they can't manage a larger kit?

@@magneticbuttockputty
😂🤣😅😆
Sure is my friend! Sure is!!!
You play for the music my friend :) that setup is just enough for this band ^^
"so lazy they can't manage a larger kit"....you mean so creative and technically skilled that they don't need 74 toms to make a song?
@@IAmSaveRio
I was just picking on him. Just having fun. Musician to musician. I didn't mean any harm.
Shut the front door. Everyone is saying how great he is...but no one is talking about what he is actually doing. At least this is what I hear and see.
GHOST NOTES on the kick drum?! WT actual F!!! Am I seeing that correct?
