I think there’s a lot to be said for Art Cruz. And a lot to be said for Chris Adler. Chris chose Art to take his place. He knew what he was doing there.
@@DracheMusic so not sure if you ever got an answer but if not, I’m pretty sure Chris picked art to fill in for some tours when he had a bike accident and broke his collarbone (could be wrong)And then when Chris left they already hand his hand picked replacement filling in for them
@@kristandagley7089 i have been following Art's work since his first run with Winds of Plague. Very solid drummer. I was really happy when I knew about him getting the chance to play with Lamb Of God. Not happy about Chris' departure from that band, but happy that Art got the recognition that he deserves
@@gaspar-animal-ribeiro5414I liked how you didn't shit on Art like so many others. Chris will very much be missed by Lamb of God's fans and drummer lovers. Art is phenomenal, and a great choice. Play hard🤘
Totally get what you're saying here. I think it's because Chris always played with such finesse and precision while art has always played with power and agression. But Chris chose art to replace him so he obviously has faith that he would do the drums justice. It's honestly taken me some time to get used to Chris being gone
You know what.. I’ve seen many drummers that can play fast and sound good.. but this guy, timing is perfect, every note is consistent and yea he makes it look easy, but fucking hell he has to be one of the best drummers
Incredible! That little 32nd note fill that switches to a one handed triplet six at 3:59 was straight up one of the sweetest fills I’ve ever seen. Lol Of course, I’m probably a little biased. I love LOG.
funny, was at the Killswitch show in LA, I met some dude in the quiet T-shirt line who was wearing a LOG shirt, I was wearing the same, we were just talking metal...and next you thing you know there is this guy making his way towards us coming up to us pretty quickly saying "those are the best shirts I've seen anybody wear all night" I said kneejerk,,,I know man, best band ever dude, --took me a minute to recognize who I was speaking to through all that hair...it was Art Cruz LOL, he was like yeah, I think so too haha--then he bought a t-shirt.
Had to get here immediately from IG. Superb playing, this song is one of my favorite LoG songs for SURE 🤘🤘🤘 Also, sending love to the Ukrainian people. As well as thousands arrested in Russia protesting their government's actions. Let's not forget it's the common man who's affected most horribly on both sides. War is never the answer. Love from Sweden 🇸🇪❤️🇺🇦❤️🇷🇺
I love that his meinl cymbal set up is very close to Chris's set up. He keeps his performances as close to Chris's as possible. Chris always chose unique cymbals and his splash work is his signature. Art does a great job of replicating Chris's sound.
I'm so happy I got one of his drumsticks!!! I got it at the Metal Tour of the Year!!! I saw In Flames, Trivium, Lamb of God, and Megadeath that night!!! Art beat the crap of that drumbstick bro!!!
Art Cruz breaking the stereotype of Ludwig not being good for metal for 2 years now. But really though, Art is an amazing drummer, Lamb Of God is an awesome band, and Ludwig makes the best drums
even chris is my idola,Art play LoG groove drum in his own creativity n technic..it means LoG didnt lose it trademark sound,just different player..cool!!
Art has been one of my biggest influences in drumming since Winds Of Plague came into the scene. Totally badass drum work always. A true warrior of metal. 😁🤘🔥💯
Holy F*ckin’ Sh*t…!! This is the 1000000000000 time I’m seeing this vid and Still getting surprised about Art’s drum skills, chops and creativity. This is amazing man..!! Congrats..!! Drum sounds f*ckin’ awesome..!! 🖤Ludwig ⚡️Art 🤘🏻🇲🇽🔥
A monster performance from a brilliant player; Lamb of God is stellar no matter who is behind the drums. The band's set on last summer's tour was amazing in every way.
Aside from the fact that he's a beast, he mastered the drummer power move of throwing his hair back to get maximum momentum to rock the fuck out. Even when muting this video you can feel the music ...
Art is killer drummer, I glad he using Ludwig drums 🥁 cause I play Ludwig too.I feel good for this not many Metal players use Ludwig ,growing up all the bands used Ludwig ,Roger's kits that all there was in the 70,s where I grew up
Art Cruz is a completely worthy drummer to replace Chris... This guy is a real drummer, super clean, technical and wild just like Chris, well done man.. I'm happy that LOG didn't lose the perspective of how important a good drummer is. Yes, it is a huge a pity to lose Chris Adler eternal admiration and love, but LOG must prevail :) best band ever
@@yak6896 you put pillows in the bass drums to make it sound like a bass drum, rather than a basketball dribbling in an arena. The open bass drum sound is cool, but it's usually not practical. And when doing double bass stuff like this, the pillows are crucial, because you wouldn't be able to identify individual strokes, because it'd all bleed into one another
Chris takes another sip of wine and wholeheartedly smiles as he watches the successor he supported sit on his old throne and absolutely fill his shoes and legacy.
Massive respect to the dude. I can't fully vibe with his snare, needs to be more cranked, I get he doesn't want to emulate Chris too much I guess... nothing will beat the warbird sound.
It's hilarious to read everyone praising Art, but having to backpeddle and give Adler more props. Get over it! Art is LOG's awesome new drummer because their last awesome drummer left.
I think there’s a lot to be said for Art Cruz. And a lot to be said for Chris Adler. Chris chose Art to take his place. He knew what he was doing there.
Can you tell me what happened tp Chris?
@@miguelfernandes2760 Chris said in an interview he left lamb of god because of a toxic environment not musical differences
Chris chose his replacement???
@@DracheMusic so not sure if you ever got an answer but if not, I’m pretty sure Chris picked art to fill in for some tours when he had a bike accident and broke his collarbone (could be wrong)And then when Chris left they already hand his hand picked replacement filling in for them
This wasn’t the Band as a whole who made the decision? I had no idea that Chris had the option to choose who would be taking over his duties
Art had big shoes to fill, and he's filling them just fine!
Great work 🤘🏼
Well said

Rock on 🤘🏼
😂😂
Art: power and aggression
Chris: finesse and precision.
Love them both!
The thing is, art is also very precise..
If only they could produce a love child, and have a perfect balance of both! I really appreciate both guys' drumming!
Listen to Chris live. He's sloppy af much of the time.
no disrespect to Chris whatsoever but this is the best and most aggressive I've ever heard LOG drums sound!

Ludwig’s sound killer
Please watch Black Label live, performed at Download 2005. Nonetheless, this is an epic performance.
Adler's snare was much more punchy
Art is a great great drummer-Chris is a God
You know what.. I’ve seen many drummers that can play fast and sound good.. but this guy, timing is perfect, every note is consistent and yea he makes it look easy, but fucking hell he has to be one of the best drummers
You Didn't See Chris Adler Former Drummer Of This Band. His Drumming Skills Is Awesome.
@@aryanrath491 Offcourse I’ve seen him play he is one of the best too, but to see a live shot of the drums that’s what I’m trying to say
He did fucking great! Doesn't matter what all the whiners say.
Incredible! That little 32nd note fill that switches to a one handed triplet six at 3:59 was straight up one of the sweetest fills I’ve ever seen. Lol Of course, I’m probably a little biased. I love LOG.
Yeah that was a pretty nasty fill, clever too
You're not wrong bro!!

Those Classic Oaks cut like a hot knife through buttah! Great work Art!
Chris is genius, this guy is a monster
Both are different, both are awesome
This aint popcrap
Enjoy both you metalheads 🤘
without exaggeration, Art Cruz is among the three best in the world
Chill out lol.
I see slipknot, trivium and log drummers and I know that metal is in good hands. Love them.
Alex Bent is a God-tier drummer.

Can we get more Art Cruz drum cam videos with Lamb!! 🤘😝🤘

Those drums sound amazing, awesome drummer.
this guy is so good

God damn, Art is just made for this band! Love it 🤘
Yea Art is killing them drums 👌
That was mind blowingly impressive holy moly
This was Great! I hope Ludwig puts out more videos like this with other great drummers!
Art has been one of my biggest influences in drumming since Winds Of Plague came into the scene. Totally badass drum work always. A true warrior of metal. 😁🤘🔥💯
I can't stop headbeng please.. 😂🖤🤘🏼love it
Faackinhg great!! Art style maximizes/ elevated the role of drum or trap set in the rhythm section.
What a great drummer!
first time i hear a metal drummer groove that much with a dbl kick!
Holy F*ckin’ Sh*t…!!
This is the 1000000000000 time I’m seeing this vid and Still getting surprised about Art’s drum skills, chops and creativity. This is amazing man..!! Congrats..!! Drum sounds f*ckin’ awesome..!!
🖤Ludwig ⚡️Art 🤘🏻🇲🇽🔥
I didn't know who ART Cruz was until I seen Lamb of God open up for Pantera this summer. He is a master on them drums. Amazing.
Those drums sound absolutely amazing.
Absolutely amazing
Art is an absolute beast. LOG's performances with him have been just pristine.
Those toms sound so damn good
Stay Heavy Art!!! Noooiiizzzxxxsss 🤘!!+
BEAST!!!
A monster performance from a brilliant player; Lamb of God is stellar no matter who is behind the drums. The band's set on last summer's tour was amazing in every way.
Timing, heaviness, so cool, uplifted the LoG band notches higher. Adler? Ok the memory remains.
Darnnnnn sooo metalll goooddddd
que chingon art🇲🇽
sounds fantastic!!
Sounds like he's not using bass drum triggers... but sounds very consistent! Most impressive.
I love this!!!!
Very nice playing and those toms sound amazing but I will never get why Chris isn't in the band anymore. He IS lamb of god.
Aside from the fact that he's a beast, he mastered the drummer power move of throwing his hair back to get maximum momentum to rock the fuck out. Even when muting this video you can feel the music ...
Fuckin slammin!!!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘🥁🥁
Art is great, I will absolutely take LOG with art, than no LOG
Mijn favoriete drummer.
He killed it awesome performance
😮😮😮😮😮😮 Fu*king Brilliant!!!
4:00 😮☠️❤

Great performance and great sounding tubs! Nice..... 🤘🙂👍
Art is killer drummer, I glad he using Ludwig drums 🥁 cause I play Ludwig too.I feel good for this not many Metal players use Ludwig ,growing up all the bands used Ludwig ,Roger's kits that all there was in the 70,s where I grew up
Fucking badass!!
I honestly enjoy the last 2 new albums with art cruz more then the entire rest,and i cant believe i think that.
Yesss
Chris is a legend, but art just has that tone! He beats the piss out of the drums! The way metal drums should be played! LOG forever
Chingon!! 🤘🏼
What a beast!
nice work! rulled
Killing it!
Fucking beast🤘🏻
Amazing!
Best drumer🤟🤟🤟🔥🔥
EXCELENTE!!!!!!
Goodness. That last fill at 4:00 is clean.
Whoaaaaa 🔥🔥🔥
When the fog machine completely covers your kit and you still play perfectly… 👌
Amazing! Foda pra caralho, toca muito.
Killer! Fuck the haters. You rock dude!
bomb
This is the only way how wars should be fought! \m/

🤘💪
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Hey Ludwig, I like the pillows in the bass drum. House brand?
Ha! I'm no musician, are they supposed to dampen the sound? Deeper lows? You'd think a Ludwig sponsored video wouldn't need pillows in the drums.

🤘🤘🤘🔥🔥
I don't know anybody that really plays Ludwig anymore but they sound so good. Yes I know they're going through a PA... Oh yeah he's a f****** beast 💪
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Not even into that music, but damn, power and precision.
🔥
🔥 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🤘
Adler its the best ever nothing is gona change that
Greatest! Respect from mother Russia 🇷🇺
Badass drummer. Saw LoG last year. Dude, kicked the stuff out of the kit. Pun intended!
Chris takes another sip of wine and wholeheartedly smiles as he watches the successor he supported sit on his old throne and absolutely fill his shoes and legacy.
Holy shit this is beyond drumming.. this is a percussionist symphony 🤘🏻
Adler: having Mike Portnoy in LOG Cruz: having Vinnie Paul in LOG
Dis guy deserves Chris recommendation
si anyinggg ❤🔥🔥❤🔥
😃🤘🥁🔥👏
3:47 this here
you vs the guy the band told you not to worry about....
jokes aside, I love CA, this dude however just slays too
Excellent video Art kicking butt so sorry Ludwig can’t subscribe I’m a Pearl guy for life 🤣
Massive respect to the dude. I can't fully vibe with his snare, needs to be more cranked, I get he doesn't want to emulate Chris too much I guess... nothing will beat the warbird sound.
Have you guys they played the song a bit faster? Art is a beast though.
It's hilarious to read everyone praising Art, but having to backpeddle and give Adler more props. Get over it! Art is LOG's awesome new drummer because their last awesome drummer left.
Tremendous
