    I think I speak for everyone when I say we REALLY appreciate when you do one of these videos Blake! They are always top notch quality and your performance is always nothing short of perfect! Thanks again Blake, any more of these you can find the time to do will be MUCH appreciated!

      True! I feel he's not stretching himself enough in the last 3 BTBAM records. His drumming is perfect, but the band (with this "regular prog" direction they've taken) doesn't play that face melting, crunchy parts anymore, so he has to hold himself back, you know? Makes me sad to know he won't write and play something like Swim to the Moon or Fossil Genera anymore :-/

      @@beto1580 It could easily be that they've gotten older and are trying to write some more coherent music in general. It's perfectly understandable that you want to try different things. But I do think that the drumming from colors to the parallax were the best he's done.

    I went to school with this man and have got the pleasure of playing music with him and the other members but I went to high school with him and I also play drums. We both where part of the local metal scene here in the Triad especially Camel City (winston salem, nc) To see where my comrades went and how far they took their art, I am blown away and to say Blake Is one of the best drummers to ever live and I have some chops my self ask him personally if you don't believe me.... My name is Jacob Smith and we went to MT. Tabor high school in winston- salem, nc.. LOVE YOU GUYS KEEP NC ON THE MAP GOAT

I don't even need to mention the drumming because we all know Blake is a seriously bad ass drummer and this performance shows that..top notch!!

    That live kick drum tone has gotten clickier and clickier since Automata was released. It was the first thing I noticed when I saw them do that quick tour with Leprous and Dear Hunter at the Dallas stop. I honestly thought it was fluke because Blake seemed to run out and change the kick mic right before they went on and then do a quick check. I could hear everything still being leveled out by the third song in the set. I guess Blake just prefers the presence it adds now.
