- I got a lot of recommendations for this, although, I get the feeling many of you would like to offer other tunes for me to hear of this band. :-D
Yes, Golden Earring did Radar Love, but THIS is the fill I remember from White Lion's version.
Thank you for clicking!

"Is this how Between The Buried And Me Sounds, or is this a once off?"
Yes
Pretty much exactly, yes.
You could say that with every song so also no
Yes and no. While they are progressive metal, every song or album has its own experimental, quirky theme to it.
A 4th off.
Lol.. btbam is my fav band and they always mix it up.. u never know what ur gonna get
"Is this how Between The Buried And Me Sounds, or is this a once off?"
Me: Ehhhhhhh... (both)
You just never know what BTBM is gonna pull out next. They love using every type of sound they can tastefully put in. Versatile is an understatement haha
yea tbh this big band take that BR did was ...eh....not the best..... he could have spent a bit more time trying to appropriate more of the isms of the genre. sounds forced and thin. fills are too obvious and blunt. i probably wouldnt do too much of a better job, but if I was required to for a band i was in I would probably find a way, as I have before. Big band is not THAT far off of just 6/8 or swung style heavy drumming. at least the part that was kinda more trueish jazz was only a few bars. that part made me cringe....mostly because of the fact they didnt bother to change the velocity "algorhythm" on the sound replacement. just sounded so fake, no texture.
@@Spenjira Fucking agreed. Huge BTBAM fan since high school (I'm 26 now) them/Opeth were a big reason I went from playing general "metal" (60s/70s/80s/90s/nu-metal) to prog, deathcore etc. Have always written my own music too, in a bunch of fuckin' genres (from metal/rock/funk/proggy deathcore stuff etc., to pop/hip-hop/trappy stuff, film/game scorey stuff, and not just complete garbage). Started really learning jazz about 2-4 years ago (after always trying to throw "jazzy" sounding stuff in my music). Reading elsewhere in the comments about how everything BTBAM done was leading up to this song? It is mostly cheese from what I can hear. Which is a big part of their personality, there are some great riffs/grooves of course, it is still killer in it's own right, but it isn't like a "great jazz tune", which sure they weren't going for, but agreed that they could have used isms. Imitation is the purest form of flattery, this was a lot more of an approximation, than the real thing, no?
@@Spenjira Excuse my word vomit there. LOL.
Edit: Just tried to fix it a little.
Lol more of a one-off tune
"I can't make assumptions about the rest of their music."
That would be wise, haha.
You could say that after hearing any of their songs for the first time
BTBAM “colors” raised the bar for all musicians
Mike Trujillo including themselves lol love them but that album is just PEAK BTBAM for me.
BradsGonnaPlay so true and it still surprises me how that masterpiece was released pretty early in their career. Wonder if they’ll ever top White Walls
Truth right here. Colors is perfection.
@@anthonyreynoso7275 Viridian and Sun of Nothing come close, but the answer is probably not.
Selkies is their masterpiece imo. Song wastes no time, and has the best outro of the entire discography
Between the buried and me is one of those bands that the whole album should be listened to together imo. I recommend The Parallax 2 or Colors.
I posted almost identically to you. Do you like chicks and money? We should hang out.
Let's all hang out. Y'all play music?
the great misdirect is great to swim to the moon is an amazing epic. parralax
Parallax 2 is my favorite album ever
@@MisterSchweetz it's one of my top 10. Definitely the favorite out Between the buried and me albums
You've just scratched the surface with him
"Is this how Between The Buried And Me Sounds, or is this a one off tune?"
At this point in their career, I'm pretty sure they've managed to put every genre of music in their albums so.... yes?
Can Tommy rap?
@@jordanrodgers9737 he did do that weird house music song 'slumber party' does that count?
"I can't make assumptions about the rest of their music"
No, with BTBAM you absolutely CANNOT.
They have a an AMAZING album called colors and literally they have every genre on it. I highly recommend it
Blake Richardson is so underrated in the drumming community
Seems to me that he's pretty highly regarded, but imo he's the best drummer in the world and he's not regarded THAT highly
Just isnt a household name yet. My household however...... Lmaooooo
@@jaredhoeft2832 best drummer in the world? Well debatable... in my opinion it's still a tie between Thomas Lang or Matt Garstka...
I’ve never heard or seen him play becore watching this, but for me it’s utterly soulless and generic metal drumming. In this genre there are so many unique players, I don’t understand why this guy (who plays exactly what you expect exactly how you expect it) should get more recognition.
M. Milo You probably haven’t heard of him because he’s been with between the buried and me his whole career (I think). I would agree that his dynamics aren’t exceptional but the way he writes some drum compositions in BTBAM is really awesome. I get what you’re saying though.
Blake is from Winston Salem, NC. I used to go see him play when he was in Glass Casket. I talked to him a bunch of times over the years. Turns out he started playing in jazz band and orchestral percussion and marching band. He’s an absolute phenom.
What is happening? You're experiencing BTBAM. 😉
watch Alex Rudinger - The Faceless - "Xenochrist"
Word
Hes not ready
YES
THIS
Yes
I would also suggest his playthrough of their song Disease, Injury, Madness.
dude
yes
I was actually going to suggest this before he made this video
This ^
Kyle Thomas Wait he has a playthrough of that track? Sick!
Mohammad Saleh It must be on their dvd because I can’t find it for the life of me. It was the full recording that has the part he was messing up in their studio update.
What I like about your content is that, at the end of the day, you're just a fan of drumming like the rest of us. You're not a pretentious prick and your reactions/comments are really relatable. Keep it up!!!
"This is weird guys, I was not expecting this at all."
Welcome to BTBAM
Hey if you're looking for BTBAM recs, their Coma Ecliptic album is probably the most rock friendly, Parallax II is a riff monster, and Colors is a prog masterpiece
this is a solid assesment. love them all dearly, but parallax is my favorite no doubt.
Thomas Hazlett yeah, coma ecliptic is one of their most “consistent” albums if you know what i mean
I wouldn't say they usually sound like this, but I also wouldn't say that this is unusual for them.. they are very progressive and they just get crazier with each album. Just check more of them out I guess. There are lots of good Blake Richardson drum cam videos out there.
BTBAM is awesome. I've seen them like five times, never as a headliner, though. they're always so fun and put on an amazing show.
Every member of Between The Buried and Me are robots plain and simple! From the studio to a live performance, these guys are so phenomenal and consistent.
He's left handed too. Dude is an octopus on the drums
Considering Blake was jazz-trained before, this is an interesting take and analysis on him. Definitely check out his Specular Reflection or Telos drum cam.
Josh Taylor Telos, yes, telos
It’s so awesome seeing someone who’s never heard these bands but understands the music react to these songs. By far some of the most enjoyable content on UA-cam.
I bet we've all had that "oh shit, he's going off" moment with btbam
Sean Reinert from Cynic is a beast if you aren't already a fan.
GOTTA hit Reinert
I second that
this.
ua-cam.com/video/aMybE62gwmY/v-deo.html
Yesss it's a MUST also an inspiration for Blake
I strongly recommend Flo Mounier of Cryptopsy!
THIS
Absolutely amazing band that do their level best to outplay everyone. One of their founding guitarists, Shane, is a passing acquaintance of mine.
BTBAM is the only concert Ive went to where I didn't really headbang and just watched. I was completely exhausted afterwards from trying to comprehend what I saw
"I can't make assumptions about the rest of their music." Welcome to the group with all of us who kept listening after The Silent Circus.
AdamShumpisxXx hey can’t forget they’re self titled album Aspirations, More of Myself to Kill, Naked By The Computer still few of my fav songs by them musically and lyrically
BTBAM's music can be alllll over the place. But in the best way possible.
Check out Selkies: The Endless Obsession by them
Great choice for an introduction to early BTBAM, mostly for its accessibility. Then you switch to Fossil Genera: A Feed From Cloud Mountain, and heads explode.
@@Sean-nn5yp fuckkkk yes
Thats one of my faves for sure
The ending solo of selkies is so good
For sure, this sounds like BTBAM's tribute to Bungle.
YO ive been watching your videos for a bit now but ive never clicked on one so fast, LOVE Between the Buried and Me!!!
Funny, YES! and exciting! And fresh! And funky! And technical and Epic and amazing!!!! Gaash i LOVE this band!! One of my top 5!
Yes btbam are the equivalent of musical gods
Gotta check out Billy Rymer- when I lost my bet.
YOU GOTTA
You should def check out one of their others songs. Especially from the Live DVD they had to see their diversity and get a feel for the band too ^^ Extremophile Elite next 🙌🏼
What you described as "jumpy" is basically applicaple to the whole band, they really mix and match styles absolutely all over the place - they do it very well though. Extremophile Elite or The Coma Machine are two other songs by them I can very much recommend you checking out.
Cheesus Crust I took as a reference to jump blues, which is kind of the style of music at the beginning.
Yeah you gotta listen to Blake laying down some of his older tracks, he's got a bunch of good ones like Obfuscation, and Specular Reflection.
There my favorite band of all time, great to see you giving them some love.
"Obfuscation" is a great BTBAM song. Also a fitting word for their sound...
So damn true.
Obfuscation is insanely underrated, even among other BTBAM fans! They're easily my favorite band and I got to see it live a couple of weeks ago! :)
Check one of those two drummers please: Gene Hoglan (The philosopher, there is nice play through on yt of it) and Sean Reinert. Both of them are seminal death metal drummer and them both played for Death. Hoglan is the perfect old school death metal drummer and Sean Reinert was one of the very first metal drummer to incorporate jazz vocabulary in his playing. Check the stuff he did with Cynic.
So happy to have found this channel, so many new bands to check out. And i like the knowledge i can pick up while enjoying new stuff. Keep up the good work.
We need another Blake Richardson reaction
YAAAASSSS!!! FINALLY! Smashed like before the video even loaded! Thanks!
TRIOSCAPES "blast off"
BTBAM bassist's side project.
You need to hear that.
came across this channel randomly so watched a few of your reactions, i must say i love when you put your input on how you might do a certain fill or beat! keep doing these!
I have been waiting for you to watch Blake Richardson since I found your channel. BTBAM is my favorite band of all time. Blake is a beast.
You should do Luke Holland - Jason Richardson - 'Tendinitis' Drum Playthrough
White Lion's 'Radar Love'? Ick.
Golden Earring's 'Radar Love'. Classic.
It's simple. I see a new upload from Garrett. I click straight away.
Ive been waiting for this. Between the Buried and Me is my #2 band, so great, a d so much great content that consistantly changes, so it never gets old
Chris Turner! Oceans Ate Alaska-Blood Brothers Drum playthrough
Escapist would be better in my opinion, but yessss react to chris!!
@@pend_deletechristopherdono3802 exactly lol Chris is amazing but his stiff posture seems like it would hinder him but it doesn't
@@thatdudethatdrums9256 supposedly he had either back issues or broke his back at one point and he says that's literally the only way that's comfortable for him even though it just seems highly uncomfortable lol
I love OAA musically but can't really get into them because the vocals kill it for me.
He’s not “the big show” he’s “the medium show”
I am so envious of the mind-blowing you're about to experience diving into their catalog \m/
Watching this man slowly realize the absolute MONSTER that Blake is on drums is my favorite thing ever.
Has anyone suggested Hannes Grossmann yet? I really enjoy that dudes style.
Check out Tesseract’s Jay postones playing “Luminary” live drum cam
Yessssss
Yes
So glad you did this! Hell yeah. Exactly what I thought youd say too. Awesome you picked up on the switching of the feet.
I love the depth at which you critique undoubtedly my favorite drummer. It helps me to better understand the music I'm listening to. I'm really hoping to see more between the buried and me from you in the future! Take my sub
Watch more vids of blake...hes very well rounded. Great metal chops too.
He led with the left foot the whole song... even while you were explaining how you would lead with the left instead of the right lol
Tristan Hopperton I was thinking the same thing hahaha.
Their music is just fun to listen to. You just never know what you’re gonna get.
Always perfect... and I will see them again this Sunday!!
2:21 - Wonders why he isn't left-foot leading while he's left-foot leading
The Dillinger Escape Plan - When I Lost My Bet
He definitely should checkout some dillinger escape plan
One of my favorite bands and drummers. They're awesome live. Alaska is fun to play guitar to.
Between the Buried and Me is my favorite band of all time. Love em. Seeing them live is the best.
C'mon guys. We know he can handle stranger this. Let's give Garrett something like Extremophile Elite
Good lord why didn’t you watch the “White Walls” video? 🤣🤣
Love the new editing on the video! Also hilarious that Big Show comparison 🤣
Man, what a cool video. You seem to be very positive, curious, intrigued, and talented. More of these videos please!
Check out their song Selkies: The Endless Obsession
B Well ziltoid!!
@@RatedR148 INDEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED!
Jordan Buckley of Every Time I Die had a great quote in an interview he did years ago. Some bands have two influences and write the same shit over and over again. Others have 10 influences and write some crazy ass shit. BTBAM is that second category. If you look up their cover album you'll see that wide range of influences. If you want a more straight forward BTBAM song, you should look at the Obfuscation play through. It's edited but it's just as good a representation of what Between the Buried and Me offers. ua-cam.com/video/snGxAUBMZHY/v-deo.html
How they manage to do a cover album where they sound like themselves and also the artists they're covering is beyond me. They're incredible.
They're a wild band man, eclectic, super heavy, and super talented...if you haven't checked any more out since this, check out the studio performance video for Extremophile Elite. A whole host of different grooves and styles.
From one drummer to another, even if not a fan of metal, listen and study Blake Richardson. Top 3 most creative drummers ever to live👌👌👌👌
Pretty please react to Bobby Jarzombek: School
You're gonna love this guy and I really want to hear your thoughts on his style and technique.
I’m pretty sure they’re his signature drum sticks 😂
You got good taste my man. I've been watching too much of your stuff so, I have now subscribed.
every member of BTBAM are highly Talented. Blake Richardson is one of my favorite drummers in music.
Exercises in Futility V-Mgła
Seconding that.
Since you're venturing into prog bands, I suggest checking out Thomas Lang's video performing the song "Time".
Honestly my favorite band of this genre hands down. I learned a lot from Blake in playing drums. Definitely check out their music man.
His play through of Hypersleep Dialogues is probably the best quality and most interesting of his work.
And now please Jamie Saint Merat
Ulcerate - Dead Oceans Drums
Honestly, even though I think his playing is incredible as always in this song, it's far from his best in terms of skill. Listen to Parallax 2 live at the fidelitorium, or Mirrors/Obfuscation on sickdrummer for a better representation of their usual musical style.
Agreed, this isn't peak Blake.
Long time BTBAM fan but haven't heard this/their new stuff as of a couple of years. Glad to be back boys.
Yeah, more of this please!
You need to listen to the album this comes off. Especially the opening track "The Proverbial Bellow". Absolutely brilliant.
Billy Rymer from The Dellinger Escape Plan reaction soon!? ( I'm going to spam every video till you do lol )
ua-cam.com/video/QyI76KcrdEQ/v-deo.html
@@tototoro666 yeah I've watched that video! The guy is a machine
Radar love! Exactly what I heard there, then you said it!!!! Great job!
Yeeeeees! Was thinking about recommeding this to you, no need now :D
Yeah this is good, but definitely not one of his career defining moments. His playthrough of the hypersleep dialogues is on another level entirety, and definitely more in line with their "normal" stuff
It would be interesting to hear his thoughts on Lunar Wilderness
Suggestion: when you do a drum cam, could you load the studio version in another tab and at least skip through it after for context?
DUDE! Thanks for doing BTBAM! Looking forward to more reaction videos of BTBAM. I could recommend all of their music. Blake's play through of The Parallax: Hypersleep Dialogues is an achievement.
Was so excited when I saw the notification!!!
Then I saw the song :/
Please do swim to the moon or disease, injury, madness
PLEAAAASE REACT TO THE PARALLAX: HYPERSLEEP DRUMMING!!!
React to Ken Bedene (Necrotic manifesto live)
Absolutely incredible band. I suggest checking out more from them.
This guy (Blake Richardson) is one of the most interesting drummers out there, you should definitely look into more of his drum videos!
Finally! BTBAM! Man you are in for a treat if you dig into them, no song is alike, one crazier or weirder than the other, you never know what to expect.
It IS how Between The Buried And Me Sounds..but also not. This particular recording has the vocal volume way down in comparison with the studio version.
Anyway..great choice for a bigband infused fun track this one, but IMO not the best choice when it comes to drumming. Blake's chops aren't even really on display in Voice of Trespass. Check out Obfuscation! There's a video of him recording the drums for this track for the record. ua-cam.com/video/snGxAUBMZHY/v-deo.html
Golden Earring did Radar Love.
White Lion did a cover.
Golden Earing was formed a year before the Rolling Stones FYI....
Yeah but I think he refers to White Lion's version specifically, which is slightly different.
I hope you did a deep dive on these guys after this. Every song is a different style experience with metal stuffed in between. From swing to waltz to electronica inspired stuff to straight metal. These guys are fucking amazing.
You can’t listen to just one of their songs and think that’s EVEN CLOSE to how they sound. Best band ever. Great video bro.
