- This is a live performance of Texas In July's "One Reality" focusing only on their drummer, Adam Gray.
The audio was recorded live from my own personal microphone and the original song was dubbed quietly in the background of the video.
The video was filmed on 2 cameras.
Sony HVR-Z5U
Canon EOS Rebel T3i
Song rights belong to Equal Vision Records and Texas In July.
I was at this show and saw this video about a week after and thought it was fantastic, but I could never find it again because I didn't save it, and here it is :D
Saw these last night, they are THE tightest band i've ever seen, and all lovely guys!
One of my all-time favorite drum videos. It makes me cry. :')
Huge Inspiration for our drummer
Adam Gray has got 2 be my favourite drummer of all time :D
I love that sound in every single part of that set because there's no triggers, or any other effect things except for the real sound of a acoustic drum...
He impresses me more and more in every more recent videos, im really excited to hear his improves on the new cd.
i was at this show, and man.......i was absoulety blown the hell away when i heard you playing, the sound of your set was incredible....
this guy plays with so much passion - amazing video
3:24 That stick trick looks like it's defying gravity! Adam is like the King of Stick Tricks :D
The drum parts are totally genius!!! Word!!!
I love the energy he plays with !
Saw this live! Killer set!
BEST DRUM PERFORMANCE I'VE SEEN IN MY LIFE. CLEAN MAN....just way too clean
It's like Adam and his drummer are only one... I can't believe how good he maneuvers around it
His timing is so perfect! ARRGHHH! :D
perfect.stance.ever.on.drums!!!
Still the best video of Adam playing live.
love his style!
Was there! Great show guys, come back soon! :)
Perfection!
Awesome show! Wish TIJ could have played more songs!
i love how he shows cymbal companies so much love and they still wont endorse him....
you need more videos they are so good!
He hits cymbals like MAN!!
what an enthusiastic crowd!
For those who don't like this cymbal setup: I saw Texas In July live recently and Adam's cymbal is totally different now. He has a pair of Sabian HHX Stage Hats, 17" Paiste Rude Crash, 18" Zildjian A Custom Crash, 19" Zildjian Z3 Over hammered China, and 22" AAX Omni Ride. I only got a brief look at his new setup so don't quote me on this
Thank you soo much for the vid
2:00 is such a great and flow-centric fill. awesome.
he's dropping hammers on those cymbols
Very nice!
adam is a monster on the kit!
The stick flip and all at 3:20 looks SO COOL
Make more of these videos please!!
Amazing
Never seen someone hit as hard in my life... I thought I smashed the life out of my cymbals but man this is something else! Incredible drummer though. Adam Gray>
0:57 "oh, let me leave this here for a second"
I love the way he sets his kit up, really close to Matt Greiner's kit. I love it.
HAHA That 'stick trick' @ 0:59 is hilarious and cool!
When i die....i want to be his drumset!
hardest hitter ive ever seen. those things look like they are about to crack everytime he hits them
Holy fuck, that fill at 2:00 blew my mind.
love dat sabian sound !!!
The only complaint I will make is he has the freaking 22" OMNI ride, the best ride to use as a crash and as a ride (in my opinion), and he doesn't make use of the crashing of it at all (I don't even think he touches it in this video)
It's so thunderous and beautiful.
That hit on crash at 2:52 : Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii-Yaaaaaaaaaaaaa! xD
very talented drummer
King of Breaking Cymbals... Fuck yeah Adam! \m/
3:08 --> The "hey-you-backed-into-my-mic-stand-but-don't-worry-I'll-poke-you-and-set-you-free" part of the night.
i actuelly started on peavey drums, i don't play them anymore (got myself a dw, awesome). but i made a stack out of a peavey symbal and a symbal i bought for 10 euros and i doesn't sound that bad, but then it's a stack. i drilled some holes in them to, just messed around. my other symbals are all different brands: stagg (aldo cheap but very good and not just for the price), zildjian, paiste, sabian. i like you're way of thinking
It has a really nice ride sound too.
him and Luke Holland have such good timing when it comes to stick tricks i seen a video where Adam dropped 3 Sticks Live i was like WTF !!!
Thank you for looking at the cymbal situation from a more open angle =)
muintooo massa showwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
toca muinto the best drummer
WE NEED MOAR VIDEOS NAO!!
Despite the fact that they have almost 100,000 fans on Facebook alone. They tour the world, plus people love him as an independent drummer as well, so of course he gets this stuff for free, he's got a massive fanbase coming from all sorts of things; TiJ, Independent Drummer; even August Burns Red.
Because they sound extremely good as a ride.
Being in a pop punk band and watching this :') ... I gotta make the switch... my drums will not thank me for it but thats the flippin point!.... I want to sound just like this... ( I am a drummer ) lol
how can you dislike this?? ..
thanks for the vid! make have a version with just the video's audio and no song over-layed to it. sounds a bit off in some areas, and then we could really hear how it sounds!
0:59 only someone as good as Adam can put their stick down while in the middle of a song
great drummer *great band
holy shit adam drumming luke commenting epic drummers unite!
@shaneemanuel......and Adam dude your stage presence is awesome...
My thoughts exactly, and this is really recent too.
The hats are actually HHX, I'm not sure on what series but I think they're Evolution's
BACKHAND, BABY! :D
That's what I thought, but I took this straight off of his Facebook Fan Page where he posted everything.
you should have a video of the duel drum solo you did with matt greiner in this past tour
wow so sick
Holy fucking The Rev. This dude hits damn hard!
he has so much feel. oh my god. He apologized about how simple the drum tracks on "One Reality" (the album) sound. thats fking retarded. these tracks are insane. his fills are so different from everybody else's i see but it just takes a bit of listening to notice it all. and he plays it with so much feel. its just fun to watch. I love this album. and Adam Gray. what a boss
that cross over lick with the splash @ :50!
Staggs are great..check the Myra line :)
YES! Sabian! He has seen the light!
its amazing that the he didnt hit open hihats for a song like this.
yeah, absolutely they do. I'm looking into a Stagg ride, but I can't find any place where I live that sells Stagg....it's annoying...
THOSE GHOST NOTES. What a fucking animal.
I LOVE Meinl, and I'd list every cymbal company in my previous comment if I could, but of course, UA-cam's dern 500 character limit won't really let me do that...
And I love Stagg's bells and Chinas =)
Dude, what mics did you use for recording this?!?! Your sound and mix are awesome. Congrats.
Because the "bloody Omni" is fucking amazing.
please for god's sake tell me there's gonna be more of these ?!?!
I think in this video his setup was
-14" HHX Stage Hats
- 12" HHX Evolution Splash
- 17" & 18" AAX XPlosion Crash
-12" AAX Mini Chinese
- 18" AAX Chinese or the HHX 18" Chinese
- 22" AAX Omni Ride
So...fucking...flawless...
Alex's shirt got caught on a mic stand haha
Hey Idiots!
didnt know if you already knew but, theres this cool thing where you can accually watch adam grey play drums! and you dont even have to worry about his cymbals!
you all should try it sometime!:D
The way he plays those crashes makes them sound like splashes LOL
Could anyone tell me the specs on this guys kit and what the mini china model is?
Just discovered him tonight and he's Beast!!
@AdamGray10 when can we see more of these because i know they filmed your entire set
totally agree, I love Sabian.. and seeing the hate on here saddens me also
1:59 best fill...ever. agreed?
Adam must crack cymbals like crazy.
Wouldn't blame him, he's at a Texas in July concert.
este amigo adam gray es unico
I talked to him about this. He couldn't afford to keep paying full price for cymbals, and Sabian was offering him an endorsement deal so he took it.
ahhh those ghost notes
Hey now! I started playing drums on Peaveys! They might suck but don't bash them! I learned how to play on those guys...
Exactly, I checked the Omni out and it's amazing... but I like to crash on my ride a lot.
Also, the Paragon China sounds very light and... I don't know, papery? A great cymbal but the harder it’s hit the less quality sound it gives (a friend of mine in a post-hardcore band had one and that was his biggest gripe).
I’d suggest him using something like an AA Rock ride, or the AAX Metal ride like you said, and an HHX 18” China.
Actually Matt and Adam use different equipment, Adam uses Sevendrum works drums and Sabian cymbals, Matt uses Truth drums and Zildjian cymbals. They both have unique sounds and are great at what they do. Cheers!
Dude adam gray just commented on this video!!
I was there :D
