This vocal cue thing is so obvious. Why have NONE of us ever thought of it before?!?
A whole generation of drummers will owe this man a debt.
I read in the original video that in south america is often used.
It is, not just for instruments but for vocals too. I remember when our vocal teacher used to do prep tracks for us some of us that worked doing guides mentioned how it would be interesting to add it to guide vocals for novices as well. It’s simple and genial, but it also requires quite a bit of skill to follow through.
Right? I know it's not new, but it's not common in the metal drummer world
having audio cues on tracks is pretty common, esp for bands playing on IEMs
It's more of a realization that you yourself have done this all along. I remember back to the early years of playing guitar. Playing along with a tape of my favorite song. As I progressed threw learning the song, I too would do this same thing for the changes. I just never realized I was doing it and never put it on the tape. But just about everyone does something similar as they progress. It's more like an AH HA moment if you ask me. Even worked in audio for years and many of the dance cues singers would do this same way and I still never put it together until this guy. Still kind of has me baffled that I already do this.
IMO. this is probably the most impressive performance in these series by Drumeo. His vocal queues are so clever.
It’s so creative and (obviously) mega effective.
@@dreitill Him or Larnell. Either/or.
@@NDH0612Larnell is definitely more talented that Samus is.
Chad Smith wins, but this was really good, as was Larnell
@@benjaminmahesh2451 Debatable. I think Sam would be better at playing jazz than Larnell would be at playing death metal tbh. more importantly, it's not a competition, and technically Sam has done way more touring and band environment stuff.
People forget that Devin Townsend hired Sam for the precision metal stuff. The dude is insanely talented.
Oh yeah, Devvy made a great choice bringing Samus in. Sam has videos on his channel of him doing drum playthroughs of the songs he did with Devin Townsend.
And then he actually faded the sickest drum part of the song away, haha..
He's totally got the brain of a conductor. He's playing the music in real time and simultaneously cueing himself for what's about to happen.
Was waiting for this one!
Also, someone pointed out on the video that probably none of his fills are repeated. Dude's a genius.
As a non-drummer, I thought the vocal ques were the most amazing thing I'd ever heard. I'm glad to see actual drummers are impressed by this too, makes me feel like I'm not an idiot for never thinking of it. Amazing how well he killed this.
This is the greatest Drumeo session of all time. It's just incredible. I hear something new every time. Plus, it's so impressive. "Rush beat"
Out of all channels that do commentary on Drumeo "X Hears Y for the First time" you are most enjoyable and informative. Thank you!
Thank you! I’m so glad you like it! 😁
So glad you checked this one out. That audio cue notation method is absolutely brilliant.
Also, as you saw on the UA-cam feed, he does his own reactions to these Drumeo videos, and they're a joy to watch. He brings that same excitement and good-natured humour to them as he displays here. If you get the chance to fit in some viewing just for your own enjoyment, I think you'll like those videos.
Or just do a reaction to Samus' reaction.
I'd watch it.
I remember the moment I saw this video I was like "I can't wait to hear some drummers react to this" and hoping you, in particular, would. I enjoy your takes on the Drumeo first time series a lot.
I was so blown away watching this! A legend!!
@@tvundanni I’ve been a fan of 66Samus for a while, but imho, nothing has ever exposed just how incredibly good he is as a drummer than his Drumeo appearance… he is now easily one of my top 5 drummers.
I don't really watch Samus' videos, some of his reaction videos maybe? But man... I didn't know he was this good, I was really blown away after watching this Drumeo episode.
What a beast.
to use a phrase that craftsmen often use that I think applies wonderfully to this.
Measure twice, cut once.
meaning "if you take the time to get the preparation as good as possible, then the execution will come easier"
I’ve been waiting for reaction vids to this one! This has to be the best one in this series, hands down! He plays DOZENS of fills, and from what I can tell, all of them are different - that’s impressive for a 10+ minute song. The vocal cues are genius! Everything about this is amazing. So inspirational for fairly new drummers like myself. I loved Samus before, but I have a whole new respect for him now ❤
The cues also let him be free of having to think when the transition is coming, which means he can embrace the part. That is why he is so fine with the fills, I agree with you
I didn't notice that he was uisng the "keep going" prompts to note places to fit a fill, but it was super obvious once you mentioned it. He did it every time. Very cool.
i have been waiting for your reation to this!! I follow 66Samus and catch his drumeo reactions and it is SOOO COOL that they got him to do one of these!! He loves the channel so much. And yes, he is SOOOOO humble which i also respect. I was curious to see what you thought of his "audio cheat sheet" as he calls it and I am glad it made an impression on you! It really makes sense to have those audio cues when you can just up and remove the track for the final recording and YES he is a beast on those drums! Glad you loved it!
I'm not a big fan of Samus's own channel (his UA-cam persona doesn't do it for me somehow) but there's no denying he killed it here. One of the all-timer performances in this series, a classic song, and a super creative approach!
Yea, his humor is a very acquired taste. I've been following the guy for almost a decade, but it's hard to recommend his streams because it's 90% fart noises.
Great reaction. Love the channel. I feel like this is going to be a seminal moment for many drummers and perhaps the community at large in terms of prep. Everyone, myself included, seems to be blown away by his vocal track trick.
Great video man, your predictions on the patterns he was going to use and why he used them was very impressive and your commentary was very entertaining. I believe you made the original drumeo video more understandable for any aspiring drummers out there, like myself.
I like your authenticity mate, so you've got a subscriber out of me too
Samus is an absolute legend. The nicest guy in the world and an absolute beast on the drums. Please come past his livestreams on twitch. They are a great time!
Great take. The ghost notes were insanely tight. Idk if he thought stomp-groove 'cause it's Bonham, but for a first take there was a lot of flavor and in a swung groove that breaks down into a slow compound meter. Tasty fills too.
I literallt went LETS GO when I saw the thumbnail on this
ahhhh I've been eagerly waiting for this reaction!
66samus is a beast of a drummer. Ive be watching him live drum on twitch for a while. Truly a class act🤘🤘
This is such a good video. The idea of the voice track with the cues for different parts of the song is brilliant.
I can't remember if you've ever reacted to anything from Yoyoka. If not, you should totally check her videos, she's an incredible drummer.
Thank you!!! Have been checking for reactions to this daily since its release. Great breakdown dude!
SAMEEEEE 😂
I wish i could have multiple likes for a video cause you'd get all of them. Intelligent breakdown, open minded, knowledge of the original work, respect to the drummer at hand. Much love and respect🙌
Been a fan of this guy for many years. You should check out his live streams where he does user submitted song requests on the spot. The guy is a monster indeed.
you should watch the colaberation sameus did with devin townsent ''hear me''
Yes! Samus has a drum playthrough on his channel. Really shows where he shines. Crazy drumming
66Samus does a lot of studio work he really is a monster.
Great video! I ran over to Spotify and listened to subdivisions and understood perfectly what you meant with the rush beat thing
Random person on the UA-cams (yes, you) reading a comment from another random person (me) reacting to a drummer reacting to a second drummer hearing a third drummer for the first time.
I remember Gavin Harrison mention recording his vocal cues probably 15 years ago at a drum clinic. He also uses this live in addition to the clicktrack. Very cool and useful, I used this method ever since.
Listen. I've watched a few (maybe 10 videos) on 66Samus's channel. I knew he was no slouch. I didn't know he was a fucking genius (at least to my eyes and ears) or even better, an incredibly skilled and knowledgeable and practiced drummer. I can't say anything about his technique one way or the other, but this is extremely impressive in its own right. I've watched many, many of these types of videos on Drumeo. All are incredibly impressive, but this is one of the most for me. Up there with Mike Portnoy's and Ashton Erwin's performances (maybe for different reasons). And your commentary added a lot to it! I'm a beginner drummer (in my 50s!) and hearing drummers comment on other drummers is honestly a very good learning experience for me. Thank you!
I would recommend checking out Samus' drumming on Devin Townsend's Hear Me. Video on the 66Samus channel (its just a nice Drum Cam video) and it's a kinda fun crazy track.
Watching this as soon as possible just in case the bots attack. Lol
I've been following 66SAMUS on UA-cam since basically UA-cam was a thing. The man is funny af and a talented joy to behold. I do shudder to think what a drummer like Bonham would sound like with today's tech, though. Or even just a double kick pedal. Bonham's right foot was so fast and precise but it's a little bit muddled in the 70's audio mix. Kinda like Buddy Rich doing a double bass solo where he basically tap dances on the pedals for 90 seconds (as a farce) and yet it sounds like Meshuggah 60 years before Meshuggah.
Bonham had a double bass for a short while in 1969 but they took it away as they couldn't hear themselves 😂.
the coolest thing of his drumeo has been watching drummers react to the que track thing. I loved the idea and I'm embarrassed I never thought of it. I think we've all done things _similar_ in the studio with clicks or other ques but to do this is another level and really smart. You don't need to look at a sheet, find where you are, or second guess anything. Just keep listening.
Samus is such a great drummer, his youtube videos are awesome, and his live streams are fun to watch
Sam is an incredibly gifted drummer. his technique, taste and skill is off the charts. added to that his passion of just fucking playing 27h a day even tho his wrists may cause permanent damage shows how much he loves it.
His streams are great too
It's neat because it's like he's recording direction for himself. Almost as if he has an audio version of a conductor up there helping lead him into each different segment
66 samus is a youtube legend my fave drummer his personality sets him apart
My man STILL rockin' the SRT-4. I wanted that car so badly for a while but ended up getting a Cobalt SS Supercharged when it first came out back in '05 because I got a family employee discount thing from GM. I'm seriously impressed / surprised you still have that SRT running.
Finished the lower control arms. Still needs bearings, but the motor is not the original. It’s a 20,000 mile replacement, so it runs great!
66Samus recorded a song on the Devin Townsend "Empath" album, the song is "Hear Me" which Sam made a drum video of, very enjoyable! Perhaps something you could check out?
I loved your input and enthusiasm for this. Now I'm curious whether you checked out the Drumeo video of Portnoy learning Pneuma. I keep coming back to that, so interesting to see how different drummers tackle challenges!
EDIT - oh yes you did! And I even commented on it. Shame on me. I owe you a sub now! 😂
Oh and yes, seconding a reaction to Samus's drum playthrough of Hear Me, the song he was the drummer for on Devin's Empath album.
Not sure if you’ve heard of Gavin Harrison, drummer from porcupine tree, the pineapple thief, and toured with king crimson. He also does vocal cues during live concerts, partly because the band syncs to a video in the background but additionally just to help him remember the song
I made something like this for the back tracks my band uses live for queues coming into the tracks or for our odd time measures. Since we added that we haven’t had any issues. We just hear me saying “1,2,3,4,5” or “1,2,3,4,Go”
For how fun Samus' channel is, somehow people forget he's an incredible drummer. His livestreams are insane.
As per what I have read before, his method is quite similar to a rally driver with their co-pilot
31:20 I just like the fact that when Bonham plays - everyone starts air drumming :D Brought such a big smile to my face
The vocal cue thing is super common in KPop and worship bands. And I've heard the cue tracks of huge shows...you can barely hear the actual music in a lot of the monitor feeds...just cues and a metronome sometimes (and themselves).
I have played live with a team for a time. I use my voice to let everyone where we are. I was taught this playing in a team environment. He is telling himself as a reminder. I'm not surprised, and I do love it so much.
Now that I’ve watched the whole video, I wanted to let you know how happy your reaction made me! I thoroughly enjoyed seeing you react the same way I did when I watched the original video! Your explanations were on point. Definitely earned my sub ❤
Samus is legit! I knew he was legit when I saw him in the studio with Devin Townsend and Morgan Ågren (who was a child prodigy playing zappa stuff at like age 7 and even recognized then by Zappa himself). Ågren has also done colabs with Fredrik from Meshuggah, and some insane stuff with "Mats/Morgan" with his childhood friend who is a blind keys player. Check them out! ua-cam.com/video/qbxkid3yjfs/v-deo.html
66Samus is legendary. A funny dude too.
Drumble videos would be great to react to as well!!!
Noted! 😁
I’m not a drummer, but from a learning perspective, 66samus was a masterclass on how to learn effectively. That was amazing!
This is something special we witnessed. This was magic.
The funniest thing to me is how people on the original video at Drumeo quite a lot of people said he was cheating on his notetaking vocal track, while a lot also mentioned how genial of an idea it was and how nobody ever thought about doing something similar. To me, that sort of cue/note taking was not that uncommon because it’s something some vocal teachers use to teach.
Samus is\used to be a session drummer he proubly developed the audio cue method to create drum tracks for clients and he has been a fill in for a few bands on tour and had to learn their songs.
Talented and innovative
You could listen to Decrepit Birth if you want to hear his "serious drums". He has been streaming for years, playing requests on the spot like an absolute boss, too. And he's got the youtube channel with mostly funny-type of videos.
I found that video incredible. The first incredible thing about it was that the drummer had never heard Achilles Last Stand. The second incredible thing was what an amazing job he did of playing it.
He has to have clear vision of what he's going to play and then just an ability play exactly what he's thinking of playing. And that needs tons of confidence.
He's technically amazing drummer, but confidence and preparation brings you to goal.
Samus is sneaky *proper* good. He did great with this one imho. :)
66samus absolutely destroyed this
Greatest band in history!
You can very much tell Samus comes directly from the Mike Portnoy school of drumming. Most of his fills and rhythmic choices are bar for bar from MP, who in turn takes a lot from Neil Peart.
Wow, a guy at work, loving a challenge.
Hahaha big corporations, I've already watched this!! The whole thing! Hahaha.
I think I have probably heard every Led Zep song, but I only owned a couple of their CDs, and I eschewed Spotify until two years ago. But I've added a lot of Zep to my main playlist now and every song I I pulled in sounded very familiar. But this song sounds brand-new to me. It's like a magical, hidden, unknown Zep song. And in fact, as of minute 5, if not for the vocals, I would have sworn it was not Zep. Maybe from their last album (which I heard once as a kid and didn't like)? Yeah, I would have guessed Rush before Zep.
damn samus is so good, so clean so fast-
I used this method since start playing and it works better for me specially i dont read notes.
I'm nit a drummer but when recording bass and guitar I use this method vocal ques are the way to go
If you're looking for a great sounding ride bell. Check the Moon ride from dream cymbals! It became my absolutely favorite!
Of course Sami’s is going the „breakdown“ part as a modern metal drummer😅
"move to the right and do the rush beat" absolute genius!
I think we need to call the voice cues "The Samus Method".
I always considered this one of the original precurser songs of modern metal so surprised he hadnt heard it !

🤔🤯
IN THIS VIDEO: drummers learn about WRC rally co-pilots
Id love to see you get one of the drumless tracks from drumeo that you dont already know and do your own episode
He does it like a loop at a church we're it's says "bridge 1234".
Love 66Samus 🤘🔥
If you're a drummer, and even if you're not, you might like this funny video from Samus, "How Drummers Knock on Doors": ua-cam.com/video/wAeUwkFsz60/v-deo.html
This is almost savant level drumming.
His audio cues are next level
that "slowdown part" doesn't slow down. the 16th notes are constant, but the section is in 30/16 or 2x15/16
I'm gonna do a video called guitarist reacts to drummer reacts to metal drummer reacts to hearing led Zeppelin for the first time
reminds me of navigator calls in rally car racing
I really like this method for the simple fact of doing the same thing twice as much instead of doing two things at once. So if you’re listening to the song and reading a sheet that’s two things at once but listening to a song and an audio note is the same thing twice. So you’re simply using one sense instead of two. Seems way more simple to perform imo
Samus and Chad Smith were my favourites
This guy is drum Jesus 😂
i feel like his method with the vocal cheat sheet would take a bit to get used to, but so worth it once you do.
he makes a guide like he is in a rally race lol
I like how you had the same first reaction as i did. I never thought of using my own voice to the music, for reference. That was so eye opening. Its so cool Samus finally getting some widespread recognition, i am watching him for a long time and it really took its timek
Also I like that you have Steins Gate Merch in Background. (I am not sorry: "CHRISTINAAA")
16:41 - The Tsar Bell!!!
one thing i dont see enough credit for is how fast this guy can play. i watch his videos mainly for the reactions and he just acts like a goof on camera but when hes behind the kit, he rips.
Are you 13? I don't understand how anyone can enjoy how he acts on camera. Or his annoying thumbnails
