GOD this guy is fantastic to watch.. any drummer is fun to watch (im a guitar player but use to play drums) but Adam with all the tricks its soo interesting
Its easy to tell that august burns red was highly influencial to texas in july. In a 2009 video it shows adam and texas's then guitarist play covering an abr song. Abr was like texas in july's idol band. So they wanted to be just like them. Thats why both bands are basically one in the same.
As a drummer from Lancaster PA...it doesn't get better than Adam or Matt. They both can play eachother's sets if they need to fill in...and HAVE. We all just wanna be them🤣🤣
This video is amazing!! Great quality, and of course, goddly drumming by Adam!! He's such an inspiration :) Defz putting this on my favorites buddy, thanks!!
No idea!But the Scream the Prayer tour came through cornerstone fest the last year,it was them,Norma Jean,ummm the Chariot,I the breather,and some other bands.It made me excited because this was Cornerstones last year!Bummer!
love this band and adam is such an inspiration! i wish i had more work on my left leg its still kinda weak and cant pedal that accurate, anyone know any exercises i can do? please message me :) thanks!
I tried it, if you master it is honestly great, you save energy at high speeds and thus you can do it for longer. Very good technique great for high BPM 16 note beats on Doubles bass.
its not plugged into the throne, its taped up to avoid swaying while he's playing. From the looks of it, you can see the headphones connect to a black wire (where the tape is) which leads to the instrument feedback (little black box) and ipod/click track (you can see him pressing it @ 5:07)
Are you kidding me? He is using basically all of his calf muscles. I play the same way so I know. Heels HIGH up. Plus look at 3:55. He is going pretty fast. It takes a lot of leg power to produce such high speeds with no triggers.
It is probably actually run through in-ear monitors from their front of house sound guys. So it probably isn't a specific click track. (My guess but not 100%)
you could do what i usually do...when youre driving in your car anywhere play the bass with your left foot....over the past few months ive been doing that and to be honest its just as good if not better than my right foot. there are times when i can only play the bass part with my left foot cause i practice it so much in the car haha
lol dude i dont think its safe hahah what if accidentally believe its a double pedal and i crash or something haha but i might try that! how about getting my left hand faster at blast beats? thanks for the advice :)
Its probably a wireless reciever, rather than clipping it to his trousers, where it will get in the way, its taped to the seat,. The click track is sent wirlessly to the reciever ant to the monitors. ( just my idea) :)
2019 and still watching this
Also in 2020
Watched this video plenty of times. Need to finally comment and say how much I love it. Adam’s drumming and style is out of this world.
2022 still watching this, adam still good energy 🔥
in love with the way he plays drums. he has as much fun as he did when he first played it seems.
Honestly the best way to see this band is from this view.. the drummer takes the show
2021, still in awe.
This video never gets old.
that fill 2:18 still gets me 11 years later
So he leads with both feet. goddam.
Adam Gray and Matt Greiner are the drum gods.
this Drummer is AMAZING!
I’ve watched this several times and I’m finally commentating. You guys captured a masterpiece. Thank you
Never gets old
i cant wait to finally see them live next week,
GOD this guy is fantastic to watch.. any drummer is fun to watch (im a guitar player but use to play drums) but Adam with all the tricks its soo interesting
I'm in total awe....just...wow...

I mean I wouldn't say idol band. Same city, same practice basement.
They were more like brother bands.
I tottally agree with you.. after all,,they werw only one month away..
As a drummer from Lancaster PA...it doesn't get better than Adam or Matt. They both can play eachother's sets if they need to fill in...and HAVE. We all just wanna be them🤣🤣
@@xxShowtime95xx lol I feel like I might know you 😂😂 also as a drummer from Lancaster, not Lan-caster lol, it really doesn't get better than them!
@@xxShowtime95xx this is very true
this is nuts, he's SO talented!!!!
my favorite drummer ever :)
3:03 best intro to a breakdown ever!
That robot looks very realistic
I'll never forget this day.
Just flawless.
You just don't want this video to end!
beautiful kit!!
1:55
im just gonna casually throw this drumstick behind my back and hope for the best
Their hearts probably beat in sync with the click track to "Hook, Line and Sinner" by now from the amount of times they have played it over the years.
3:34 to 3:41 was absolutely beautiful
Adam Grey uses the toms more than I gave him credit for.
Swivel Technique, cheers mate.
no manches que chingon hermano!! me gustaria aver ido! T.T.. ojala pronto tengan fechas en mexico!.
Jesus Christ the China is the ultimate break down cymbal. It just adds that bounce that makes breakdowns and beatdowns SO easy to thrash to.
whose here in 2020 missing this band?!?!?!
DAAAAAANG! Look how tiny he use to be!
Dude's a f'n BEAST now....exactly like his drumming!
🤘😝🤘
Only an American would call him tiny at that size.
Sad.
Ive never been much into TIJ but after watching Adam, good Lord...
this is art
This video is amazing!! Great quality, and of course, goddly drumming by Adam!! He's such an inspiration :)
Defz putting this on my favorites buddy, thanks!!
The fill @ 1:18 is like ridiculous tight, haha he's awesome! Love his cymbals too!
The perfect drummer
Whenever I have a chance to see TIY live again, I'm sure I'll buy a ticket for this premium position.
Adam is such a tight drummer. Glad to see im no the only person that has a crazy right ankle position compared to their left foot.
TheCaboose36 I'm the other way around 😂
very nice, good drummer...
No idea!But the Scream the Prayer tour came through cornerstone fest the last year,it was them,Norma Jean,ummm the Chariot,I the breather,and some other bands.It made me excited because this was Cornerstones last year!Bummer!
Its called the swivel technique, basically helps build momentum and rhythm in your feet. George Kolias also does it.
I met him at I'm Alive tour!!!
I love how he barely uses his legs for the pedalwork, mostly ankles. Such a technical player :)
@ARiteOfPassage this made my day
love this band and adam is such an inspiration! i wish i had more work on my left leg its still kinda weak and cant pedal that accurate, anyone know any exercises i can do? please message me :) thanks!
Awesome video
WOW!
Anyone else realize this was filmed in Texas in the month of July? Lol, Texas in July.
I tried it, if you master it is honestly great, you save energy at high speeds and thus you can do it for longer. Very good technique great for high BPM 16 note beats on Doubles bass.

wow this is nuts
soooo good
OMFG \m/
Adam Gray my favourit drummer
damn best ever grayyy
4:10 is so impossibly beast
00:14 - Left foot takes over while right foot takes a rest, very nice.
this guy is a decent drummer. people are so easily amazed.
Baka!
Adam Gray is The Terminator
Fucking amazing drummer!
Are you kidding me? He is using basically all of his calf muscles. I play the same way so I know. Heels HIGH up. Plus look at 3:55. He is going pretty fast. It takes a lot of leg power to produce such high speeds with no triggers.
Istg drummers are athletes
3:55 what the **** o.O Crazy how his feet just "flow"
It is probably actually run through in-ear monitors from their front of house sound guys. So it probably isn't a specific click track. (My guess but not 100%)
you could do what i usually do...when youre driving in your car anywhere play the bass with your left foot....over the past few months ive been doing that and to be honest its just as good if not better than my right foot. there are times when i can only play the bass part with my left foot cause i practice it so much in the car haha
He's a knight rider of drums!
Texas in July and August burns red have that similar style of drums
That's because Matt taught Adam broski :) They jam together loads now!!
wow !
sun burn ouuuhhh yehs!!
0:14 left footing like a boss
awesome
OH MY GOODNESS WAS THIS CORNERSTONE FEST?!!
@ArizonaLocalBands My thoughts exactly. I love how he was just grooving to that part like it's a piece of cake. lol
there is no learning adams insaneness
I KNOW! I never noticed that before
i really wanna know how he's set up his click track. it looks like his monitors are plugged into something taped onto his seat? any ideas?!
you should watch adam grey juggle and drum. seriously.
1:51 Hook
Chris's hair is awesome
4:11 The coolest way to hit cymbals.
Anyone else notice the right crash just bending like crazy? lol
@H1GhVoL7aGe mmmm gotta try learning that looks fucken sick. is that 16 beats for that part?
Fuckin perfect drummer
lol dude i dont think its safe hahah what if accidentally believe its a double pedal and i crash or something haha but i might try that! how about getting my left hand faster at blast beats? thanks for the advice :)
Andols Herrick from Chimaira was my favourit drummer for years now ... but this f*cked my brain! \m/
I have a new god now!
It's called Swipe Techinque. Have fun learning it, it's a nightmare! xD
Nice!!!!!!!!
does he use normal headphones for the metronome? or are their isolating headphones that also play music?
still GOAT
adam gray in the sun. rest of the band under shade x]
warped tour tampa on the 26th!!
This is the best way to get tanned!! :D
@MooreKiller666 that was a perfect show dude :D
@Fr1dl is 1000 lies & hook line & sinner
isnt this the all starts tour? 0_o
Its probably a wireless reciever, rather than clipping it to his trousers, where it will get in the way, its taped to the seat,. The click track is sent wirlessly to the reciever ant to the monitors. ( just my idea) :)
What kind of camera did you use?
3:55 !!!!!! oh my god!!
how'd u get backstage? :P
