      I'm still looking forward to the moment when Drumeo realizes that there are many more bands outside of the United States.
      Europe is a hotbed of excellent bands.

    This channel deserves sooo much credit. I have developed such a deep appreciation for drumming & drummers. Before discovering it a couple years ago. I don’t think I ever really noticed a single thing about the drumming on a track apart from a solo or a full where everything else went silent. Now anytime I listen to 99/100 songs, I hear the intricacies of the drums more than anything else that I don’t even hear the lyrics most of the most. and now I’ve genuinely wanted tk become a drummer😂

    Will is on my mount Rushmore of drummers, every band he sits behind he brings a level of dynamics and power that they have never had before and it changes the whole feel for the better. On top of that if you watch him live it's hard to take your eyes away from his playing as this dude knows how to put on a show!. I was lucky enough to get a few drum lessons from him around 10 years ago and was able to hang with him for a bit in Sydney when they came out for the synthesis tour. Super humble dude. Can't wait to see what else was recorded for this series.
