Hey, where's Frank ? He should have been there to hit the cymbals during the intro 😏 More seriously : I'm impressed on how much skilled, versatile and creative is Ben. One my favorite metal drummer for sure !
He is awesome and so is the album. Check out Vic Firth’s live Danny Carey video of Pneuma. Unbelievable technical drumming. Polyrhythms out of this world!
Ben you guys an your music guys are phenomenally beautiful phenomenally awesome phenomenally gems an you guys have your own sound that separates your self from other bands an hope your keep growing as you guys go forward an the popularity an new fans grow on your guys your music is complete masterpiece guys love Cody
From one drummer's perspective..IMO Ben is one of the top drummers out there right now. There's a lot of talented drummers out there but the composition and execution Ben is achieving put him up there in the top drummer's territory.
Wow Ben, just freaking wow you are an amazing drummer. I feel like that if drums were classified in video game, difficulty, this song would fit in the insanely hard, but really satisfying when completed category. I could only dream of being this good . That said all of the songs on this album have an insane degree of technicality that I have not heard from this band yet and I love that because you guys are constantly upstaging yourselfs.
Stunning performance. The first album had inspired and passionate drums but it seems Ben isn't done evolving and it's clear he is still putting in the time and effort to reach new heights in the art.
Such a potent combination of technicality and emotion, power and discipline. Striking the balance with all of these conflicting ingredients isn't easy, but you did it. Love to see a drum playthrough of this song in particular!
This deserves all the views in the world. Incredible playthrough of an amazing song. The new album is nothing short of phenomenal, and I'm so excited for what you guys create in the future.
Intensely technical and boundlessly creative. Every strike on point. A whole lot of passion in this performance too. Looking forward to seeing you in 2024 with Voyager
Layered, textured multitudes of tones and feelings from drums can be difficult to achieve but you absolutely CRUSHED it on this track, and really, the whole album. Hoping this one makes all the hit lists for you guys to get the recognition you deserve. Cheers!
There is a particular moment in this song at exactly 08:57 where a bunch of stuff comes together that just hits me. So cool. Awesome to see how this is performed. I'd love to see a shot of each of you performing your individual parts of the track. It is epic.
This is such creative drumming. It's rich, driving, considerate, even melodic, and at all times impressively technical. I love it! Thanks for recording and sharing this playthrough!
Thank you :) We decided not to bring Frank in for that or layer it in so you could better see and hear what I'm doing on the kit compared to the music video and album recording.
Please, record a close-up drum play for "We Who Lament" as well, my guy! Your perfomance for it really intrigues me, and I'm sure I'm not alone in that.
There will definitely be more playthrough videos. There's another one currently in production for Ben's channel and there may be some segments where the other guys run through favorite parts on their instruments. The latter hasn't been planned, but it's in discussion.
Happy to run this down :) I change it around after so many months, but for this video (and generally when I play this song): Left to Right: 6" HH Radia Cup Chime 7" HH Radia Cup Chime 10" AAX Air Splash 14" HH Medium Hats 6" HHX Evolution Splash 18" HHX Evolution Crash 19'' HHX Complex Thin Crash 19'' Paragon China Cymbal 22" HH Jam Master Ride Admittedly, I didn't actually hit the ride on this song. It's a fantastic cymbal, but with the number of bells and effect cymbals I have on the kit, I don't always get around to playing the ride in each song. You'll hear it in other playthroughs though :)
@@benearthside nice well detailed haha! Thats what I thought you had either a HHX-treem or a complex... I have a 19" also and this is my favorite crash so far, but would be curious to try an xtreem... Thx for your answer man, and I really enjoy your drumming
Unlimited creativity from Ben here! Funky beats, metal beats, Gavin Harrison grooves...everything all while doing them in service of the song 👏
Unreal 🙌

The earthside and tesseract albums have been the highlight for me this year. Some proper masterpieces in there.
Yep. 100% agreed. And I think this after the brilliant Sleep Token album hit.
the most impressive and technical drummer i’ve ever seen, the drumming on the new album is amazing
He is awesome and so is the album. Check out Vic Firth’s live Danny Carey video of Pneuma. Unbelievable technical drumming. Polyrhythms out of this world!
@@cd5642 watched that video many times, it’s outstanding
@@cd5642 Danny Carey is one of Ben's biggest influences and the reason he started incorporating timbales and chimes into his playing.
Omg, I can't believe someone made a drum cover for this song already!! Congrats Ben :D
🤣 What took this guy so long??
What a stunningly perfect cover... my favorite drummer that I've found in 2023 ❤🙌
Ben you are one of my favourite drummers. Youre up there with Portnoy for sure
I LOVE U SO MUCH
Ben you guys an your music guys are phenomenally beautiful phenomenally awesome phenomenally gems an you guys have your own sound that separates your self from other bands an hope your keep growing as you guys go forward an the popularity an new fans grow on your guys your music is complete masterpiece guys love Cody
I didn't fully realize how crazy the drums were before watching this playthrough... That's incredible
🔥🔥🔥
Just delicious 🖤🤘sound extasy
One of my songs and videos of the year. And seeing this just confirms that even more lol.

The bell king strikes again! Killer playthrough Ben!!
Thanks for 'chiming' in, Austin 😂
One of the most skilled and creative drummers in modern metal. Im gonna need a playthrough of Watching The Earth Sink next.
Ooof I need to practice for that one ;)
@@EarthsideBand lol :) but seriously your performance on that song is so impressive, had my jaw on the floor
Nossa senhora, que groove incrível! Uma das melhores bandas que descobri em 2023
Oh my... Goosebumps. I didn't think that that song could be any more epic but then I watched you play this on drums.
Bravo.
The album is incredible and these playthroughs really show how the drumming elevates it. Bravo Ben, you've truly surpassed expectations !
I enjoyed this album immensely.... Earthside so underrated band
I know nothing about drums, but I don’t need to to know this guy is one of the beat I’ve ever heard.
What a wonderful performance! Stunning! Album of the year.
This song is just so unreal. Hits you on a really profound level.
Best song of 2023 in my book..
And it's not even close...
I nvr realized how busy these drums were either...
Wow man, this is superb. The toms sound amazing.
Unbelievable. Masterpiece.
Stunning performance. The first album had inspired and passionate drums but it seems Ben isn't done evolving and it's clear he is still putting in the time and effort to reach new heights in the art.
Amazing drumming. Really love the lighting and camera works here.
Such a potent combination of technicality and emotion, power and discipline. Striking the balance with all of these conflicting ingredients isn't easy, but you did it.
Love to see a drum playthrough of this song in particular!
Spectacular drumming on a brilliant song!!!🔥🥁🔥
Una delle più belle sinfonie ascoltate...si questa è una opera sinfonica bellissima ❤
This deserves all the views in the world. Incredible playthrough of an amazing song. The new album is nothing short of phenomenal, and I'm so excited for what you guys create in the future.
Such an amazing musician craft, and so unique. Well done, Ben, it makes Earthside's music fantastic!
Thank you, man! But I say with the utmost sincerity, here, that the other guys make these crazy parts fantastic 😊
Just one word: WOW!!!!!
Intensely technical and boundlessly creative. Every strike on point. A whole lot of passion in this performance too.
Looking forward to seeing you in 2024 with Voyager
Absolutely insane ! I've had that song on repeat since it came out. Thanks for sharing this godly playthrough 🙏

Amazing job! I've had this song on repeat for a long time.
dayum, Shanbrom...
Wait; where's Frank at the intro? Great playthrough sir
Thank you :) We decided not to bring Frank in for that or layer it in so you could better see and hear what I'm doing on the kit compared to the music video and album recording.
Esse batera tem um Groove absurdo. Toca muito, tem bom gosto e é muito criativo!
Gavin Harrison's drums and Thomas Erak guitars,👌🏻🤘🏻
..also Forrester Savell for teh fckin win!
i was so waiting for this !
Incredible job
Madre del amor hermoso‼️‼️‼️
Please, record a close-up drum play for "We Who Lament" as well, my guy! Your perfomance for it really intrigues me, and I'm sure I'm not alone in that.
That may or may not have already happened ;)
@@benearthside Hey Ben! I'll be looking for the release with a great deal of anticipation!
P.S: Your drummer's stamina is awesome 🤘
Amazing
🤘🤘
I love watching it... could you do it to others songs as well? Could the other band members do something similar for their favorite parts/songs....
There will definitely be more playthrough videos. There's another one currently in production for Ben's channel and there may be some segments where the other guys run through favorite parts on their instruments. The latter hasn't been planned, but it's in discussion.
With the button up shirt on too!!!
To leave a pretty unqualified comment... Ben is damn hot here 🔥
How many polyrithm can you play in one song?
Yes
Very tasteful
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Amazing playing man, would you mind describing your cymbals set up? What line, size...
Happy to run this down :) I change it around after so many months, but for this video (and generally when I play this song):
Left to Right:
6" HH Radia Cup Chime
7" HH Radia Cup Chime
10" AAX Air Splash
14" HH Medium Hats
6" HHX Evolution Splash
18" HHX Evolution Crash
19'' HHX Complex Thin Crash
19'' Paragon China Cymbal
22" HH Jam Master Ride
Admittedly, I didn't actually hit the ride on this song. It's a fantastic cymbal, but with the number of bells and effect cymbals I have on the kit, I don't always get around to playing the ride in each song. You'll hear it in other playthroughs though :)
@@benearthside nice well detailed haha! Thats what I thought you had either a HHX-treem or a complex... I have a 19" also and this is my favorite crash so far, but would be curious to try an xtreem... Thx for your answer man, and I really enjoy your drumming
The next is Tyranny? 🥺👉👈
Ahhh man that one's a headache. Jamie wrote the drums 🥴
@@EarthsideBand That psycho!! 😏

Amazing drummer, but the footage is too dark.
