The change in the sound since u became part Zildjian is just such a better fit for the sound and feel of Stray Craig so happy that thing fucked out with Meinl but in a good way x
Epic. Thanks for this! These play throughs are a massive help to demystify the patterns for us mere mortal drummers. Often I find the your drumming in Stray songs to be pure mind-boggling sorcery. You are a magician.
Man, that's some damn tasty drum parts right there, kit and cymbals sound the bollox, as always for someone who's not good at the drums, Craig does a great job in showing us otherwise 😀 fuckin love it !x
When I first heard the song I was like "how on earth is it possible to play the ride pattern in the verse with just one hand and make it sound that powerful??". Well. It makes sense now. I just couldn't imagine how to play it with two hands because of the way I have my kit setup currently.
I actually recorded it with one hand (you can hear the middle note is always quiet on the record) but this is far easier to play live and looks cooler!
Feele like this is one of those tunes where there's a lot more going on with the drums than I maybe first realised when just listening to the album. Not a drummer though so it ain't hard to sneak some by me. Also, was worried for a second that the barcode sticker had gone from the china. But there it is, hiding behind the mic stand.
Zildjian does make great crash ride cymbals like this k crash ride with nice defined bells but mannnnn this ride just doesn’t hold a candle to the signature prototype Meinl ride Craig developed. This bell sounds so weak compared to the Meinl signature downbeat ride that he finally found the perfect weight for. I mean imo all the prototypes he shared were better than his zildjian rides so far and imo I don’t think he’s gonna find a ride that is better than that. I’m pissed it was right before they were about to release it cause I was so stoked to buy it. Literally the best sounding and looking ride with all the exact charateristics I’ve always searched for in a ride. Just speaking in terms of sound and what fits and what sounds best, imo the meinls just sounded better to his playing style and for his band. Zildjians are great cymbals too but just doesn’t sound as good as the meinls did. But then again Craig did say off the bat that he didn’t leave Meinl due to the gear cause he was on record on so many occasions stating Meinl make the best cymbals in the world hands down but left for other reasons dealing with the people and relationships. For the most part it seems Meinl has good artist relations and makes artists feel at home but I’m sure they do have favorites and obviously cater to their bigger artists but who knows we’ll never know what happened but it happens all the time. Tons of artists change companies due to their guy they built a relationship with left the company. Every musician says the same thing that the relationships with the people who work at these companies are far more important than the gear cause you can find top notch gear from every main big company and even smaller companies as long as they can support you wherever and whenever you need it especially for musicians who tour all around the world and/or do clinics all around the world and need support and their companies to be able to come through and supply them with the gear they usually are used to playing or try to get close as possible or whatever the artist asks for and companies who can have that support are usually only the big main top companies whether it’s Meinl zildjian, sabian etc. for cymbals for Tama, pearl, dw, etc for drums/hardware and so on.
HEAVILY inspired by that song, i’ve done beats like this on almost every album I’ve been on and it all stems from learning that song about 20 years ago haha
Anyone know what brand/size of sticker is on that china? I want to sound this good.
Bruh… check the description
@@BorisJohnsonMayor 😂😂
its custom made barcode sticker, thats whats make the difference
@@colinneace7382 and the joke passed right over your head
zildjian has a super power, making ride bells sound like sex
The upgrade in the overall cymbal sound is really quite remarkable
Zildjian just do it better my dude
The change in the sound since u became part Zildjian is just such a better fit for the sound and feel of Stray Craig so happy that thing fucked out with Meinl but in a good way x
Imagine that, a mix of K's and A's sound better than classics custom and pure alloy, who would have thought
Love the crossover on the opening fill into the verse
So sick, practicing this fill for sure.
What’s the sticking or is it a straight linear crossed over?
@@queazyjam6924 pretty sure just rlrlkk but crossed over
From swearing that he'd never get it to posting a playthrough vid in three weeks. Legend.
Already know this is gonna bang before hitting play.
Everyone talking about how good the cymbals sound, (which are nice by the way) but can we all just appreciate that snare. 🔥🔥
Yes!!!
That snare sounds great!
Any idea what the snare shell is? I am sure he has talked about it in previous videos but I am a lazy piece of shit so I am asking you guys :)
@@trashcannon6453 It's in the description
@@NotLuigi Thanks man, I'm and idiot
Killing it man! Your playing seems more relaxed and effortless lately.
Favorite song on the album in every way, especially the drumming!
You sir, are criminally underrated. Love your playthroughs man, kit sounds amazing too!
watched it when it happened on twitch, watching it again now for the fifth time. Still so good each and every time.
This is some insane shit. So feral yet tasteful. Amazing playing.

The POP on that snare is delicious is just sounds so right!

Footwork is sounding hella tight!
Awesome cover! So glad you’re using Zildjian now. Elite of the elite
The intro bass drum pattern is breaking my brain, so creative to do it all with the left leg! ALL HAIL REYNLORD.

Absolutely filthy.
Very impressive!!! Love your new cymbals. I commend you on all your hard work and passion for drumming 🤘🥁
The drums on this song never get old man, that intro always gets me pumped
I love your fills so much! So clean, so tasty, no showing off.
I bought the snare in the middle of the video..
You're freaking mental Craig! Much respect
Ooooo Craig working that left foot you cheeky devil you
Must say the zildjy’s sound so much nicer than those meinls……
Nice and tight, the practice on the foot technique has paid off 👌 👍
Well done sir 👏 🤘
that ride sounds fucking beautiful!
Man in masterful control of his self-created universe. Joy to watch!
Absolutely effortless! Fuckin GREAT playing bro!
The got damn 4-3-2-1 breakdown chug counting is so fuckin cool big ups who ever came up with that
There’s always so much style and power in your playing. GOAT!
That snare has more crack than 1980’s Washington DC
Love that song and such a great way to start the album. Man you’re a beast!
Brother your footwork is the best it’s ever been
Hard work from the streams pays off, killing it. I Will die when I see this live!
My GOAT 🤘🤘🤘🤘 that double handed ride play.... too fucking good
love the left foot on the intro. technically correct
Superb!! Love this track, this run through is tight my guy!!
Heat!🔥
Love the snare sound!
Epic. Thanks for this! These play throughs are a massive help to demystify the patterns for us mere mortal drummers. Often I find the your drumming in Stray songs to be pure mind-boggling sorcery. You are a magician.
thanks! I have a pdf and drumless track if you get really stuck
Man, that's some damn tasty drum parts right there, kit and cymbals sound the bollox, as always for someone who's not good at the drums, Craig does a great job in showing us otherwise 😀 fuckin love it !x
Using two hands far that ride section looks so clean 🔥
BEAST!
See you tonight in Frankfurt!
Switching dominant foot just like Master Mario Spoke on. Sounding Great, Craig Sir
Sounding fucking great Craig!
The difference in zildjian feel in the heart of sound is so warming
This song slaps so hard.
Amazing fills , loved it ... I didn't know you were using Ziljians now
Great drumming even better haircut ya sexy beast Craaaaaiiig
Awesome sound
Low key best Euthanasia track and I’ll die on this hill
incredible mate
The intro is worth a like
Switching to Zildjian was a great choice
Love the snare
killing it dude!
Nailed it! I wanna hear some hydraulic heads on those toms
That ride is beautiful
absolute fucking monster
Those TIGHT areas of wear on the toms? accuracy going crazy
Nice One Bruv
Macaroni and cheeeeeezus 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Yesss

Need a live drum cam it would be sick
elite
Sounds legit…miss that blast bell though. Would you ever use it live?
Hell yeah!!! Like your style. Which cymbal company are you with? Zildjian or Mienl?
Nice
I’m a simple man. UA-cam notification pops up. I click.
go off boss
fucking sick
That kit sounds sick as tits.
Like been beaten with a brick.
Looking forward to Download 🕺🏼
AK set up 🫦
What plugins you using? sounds great especially for real-time monitoring and mixing with this sound
🔥

What'up Boy....🤪🤪
Probably a silly question, but do you think Meinl will still continue with the ride you developed and release, just not as a signature ride?
Cymbals have sounded great recently and I can’t work out the difference? 👀
Happy with the ride/crash choice?
oh fuck
Feeding the algorithm
What song is this? I can't find it anywhere
needful things by stray from the path
@@reynlord666 love the song
Intro literally ripped off that one song from The HAARP Machine. He should credit the original drummer. #thief #getgood #thisissatireiloveyoucraig

What band is this?
Stray From The Path
The Beatles
I see you out here with the pump covers lmao, when you're shirtless you look like a beast, alex terrible vibes tbh
think that symbol would sound better with a QR code tbh......
Your cymbals don't sound as good as they usually do. 🤪
God damn I love the new cymbals. I had a feeling you would go for the avedis line. The Ks are a really nice compliment too.
"inside whats within behind" type beat (in a good way)
