Bro, Counterparts is addictive. It's like there's 500,000 other hardcore bands out there. But this one is mine. I don't care what anyone says, I love these guys. They speak to my soul. Thanks for the upload!
Joshua Moore Yo I couldn’t agree with you more! They are my fav hardcore band. Lyrics are relatable and the instrumental parts are straight up addicting.
Counterparts is the whole reason I fell in love with hardcore. I mean I was listening to Dead Kennedys and punk hardcore, but never really got into hardcore as a genre because of my grievances with the straight edge authoritarians that bragged about beating drug dealers up (which is so fucking opposite of what hardcore originated as being the working mans music and finding comradery in the anger and frustrations of capitalism). counterparts is something completely different and so fucking real that I can't help but love every single song they have. The emotional lyrics fit so fucking well with the power and anger of hardcore. I can't help but start swinging my fists around when I hear good shit like counterparts. Counterparts I think speaks to the millennial and zoomer generations sheer desperation and sadness from a broken capitalist society that's rejected and repressed our true desires as human beings. I think Brendan speaks to that depressed feeling younger people like us because we feel angry and desperate for change, but feel hopelessly lost because no one (society) seems to care what's best for our souls and not just our pocketbooks. Counterparts isn't just hardcore music, it's revolutionary music. I consider them to be a voice for a generation, and I sincerely hope that more and more attention is given to bands like this that speak on real shit and not just booty and money.
Holy shit.. Their old drummer used to blow my mind, but this dude is so clean and hits so hard... Like there is so much energy in his playing and I love it.
Agreed. I've found that a lot of hardcore style drummers are absolute fucking monsters behind the kit. The speed and accuracy needed for this shit is why these guys can burn 500 calories in a half hour hahaha.
definitely. but i've seen kyle played live in my country, and the whole set was akjbgjsdnbjkdasnvkj;dsnvdsanbjgfsdangbfdsagdsjknsdaka i can't even describe. like he got unusual amount of energy for the whole set. full power and flawless
bro i love that counterparts and knocked loose can rep a softer band like movements. like... fuck the scene is tight again and it's hard. just bands appreciating eachother and shit. ALSO good lord the drummer is fucking effortless.
as a percussioist I cannot help but bounce to this/playing the beat along the entire time. I feel like i was behind his kit by the time the song is over
Kyle went from making Rock Band/Guitar Hero videos to touring with a band. He's done well.
He was their touring drummer for a long time actually. He lives in the same city and was friends from before Kelly joined
Cool to see there's another person here who knows that. Those were the days.
Legitimate beast on both

Feel the same way bro!
HERE WE GO. You hit the motherfuckin nail on the head, man.
You should check out The Pariah then! They even feature Brendan on one of their songs.
2:11 that pinch tho

yeah kelly bilan was tight drummer but this Kyle Brownlee is a extreme supreme drummer lol ..
Those videos have the best audio quality in all TH-cam drum cam channels!
Roger Ramones Thanks! 🙏🏼
drummers anonymous You're welcome. What is the secret?
Roger Ramones Have a background in recording bands. 😝
do you have the drum tracks from the soundboard? or do you have your own mics set up or use the audio from the cameras or smth
That Tama starclassic sounds phenomenal. That bass drum is beefy as hell and punching super hard and the toms also have so much punch and attack.
Andy Ham it’s those die-cast hoops yo!
Could also be all the fucking Moongel he slaps on the heads lmao
I saw him live about a week ago and he also uses cotton balls in his floor tom, can also be seen in his drum playthroughs he uploads
H2MOVIEMAKERS looks like a Pearl Vinnie Paul signature snare.
With lot of moon gel! :p
Kyle is such a perfect drummer. The playing is tight, always on point and every fill is so damn clean
Lucas Böttner no drummer is perfect
come back to this once a month, this man was my sound engineer idol in college. love seeing Kyle kill it!
OMG Patrick from Movements also!!! Epic!!!
Absolute machine. Hope concerts can come back by 2021.
Those drums sound soooo good
Of all the drum cams I've watched this is the best. His style, technique, writing and execution are just perfect for my particular taste.
This guy has played these songs by himself, in his basement, facing the wall, thousands of times. Gotta respect that.
I seriously can’t get enough of watching Kyle play
😲😍🙌🏻 that kit sounds unreal, and every hit is so crisp!
Amazing performance. New fan. I especially love the fact that he uses a Vinnie Paul snare! Huge props
It’s about 5 years since my listening to H/C but this dudes drumming is pulling me back in !!
So clean, and such tasteful parts... a pleasure to watch
Awesome to see Patrick from Movements on here
This guy, he's fast, flawless, and i think he had a kyuubi sealed in his body because his chakras and energy never run out
Adinarwastu Vito Koosnugroho any metal drummer should be able to keep up. Otherwise it would be impossible to get through a set.
definitely. but i've seen kyle played live in my country, and the whole set was akjbgjsdnbjkdasnvkj;dsnvdsanbjgfsdangbfdsagdsjknsdaka i can't even describe. like he got unusual amount of energy for the whole set. full power and flawless
Adinarwastu Vito Koosnugroho that’s good. I would hope he played his own songs flawlessly.
ploob man well only the latest album was his drumming
Matt Fuhrer what?
Man I'm really loving his drumming style
Great performance. !
That snare wobbling around would give me the shits ...
That drum just sounds fucking amazing!! And he plays so fucking good!

He plays over the line and I’m here for it.
That Vinnie Paul signature snare 😍🤯
Great video my dude!
baby Mitch of Silent Planet just chilling in the background.
Crazy to think that this was 4 years ago
as a percussioist I cannot help but bounce to this/playing the beat along the entire time. I feel like i was behind his kit by the time the song is over
So goddamn spot on.
ssblind
watching these dudes and converge get me out of a slump behind the kit real quick.
This setup is on point simple and sounds great! I’m really digging the snare though
The kit is going bananas

Kyle, i still remember you from the great cover of AILD, "Forsaken". And now look at you now, bravo men, bravo...
Vinnie Paul snakeskin snare? Really strong yet musical playing nicely done 🛒
Nice
Tight drumming, every hit with power, i like. But you only get one pair of ears, protect them. I learned it the hard way
Totally using a “Vinnie Paul” snare drum 🤘
Okay, the left foot switch at 2:20 is p good.
What snare drum, it's lush!
