When you see a guy with this kind of technique, hitting the ghost notes, eyes closed in concentration and grooving his head that hard. You KNOW it’s gonna be a dope play through. This was so good. Made me love the song even more.
Please, do a drum playthrough of every song Texas In July will release in the future because this is incredible. The drums are written extremly well and I didn't catched of it while listening to the track. The playthrough is incredible to see how difficult and well writtrn this actually is. And, the production quality and the mix are insane. I love the way you are playing, this is tasteful and nuanced yet fast and powerful, so enjoayble to watch !
This dude IS 95% of metal drumming out there haha he owns this shit. Absolute underrated legend. He carved the way for so many drummers. Luke Holland wouldn't be where he is today without this guy
Lol. He is good but saying he's better than 95% of metal drummers makes me wonder what 'metal' are you listening too. Most of the bands I listen to have tech/prog drumming with some mad timing lol he's good but he's not Haake lol
one of my favorite musician moments in my life was back in 2013 when my old band and I got to open for you guys in houston. Picking your brain on that Greiner Kilmer kit and just chilling with you and TIJ before the show even started.
Adam a Boss! He did a show in hot ass Atlanta (Warped tour 2013) and took a picture with me a freshman in HS that thought he was badass! Lol now I’m a grown ass man and still feel that way lol
I couldn’t imagine anyone else writing the drum tracks to the songs you’ve helped write. I remember being in high school watching a really old show of you tossing sticks behind your back and still hitting everything. Really hoping to see you and TIJ play live in the future. Biggest regret is not being able to see you play live. Love the work, and can’t wait to hear more.
his posture is impeccable and those switch-hand blasts are awesome. Great feel, solid fills and terrific energy. Loved it. That kit sounds amazing. Props to the engineers.
What a time to be alive! You were such an inspiration to me as a young drummer, then life did it’s thing and I had to stop playing. Now I’m back drumming again after almost a decade and y’all drop this banger! Keep it coming man, this is sick!
Holy moly dude. Those blast beats between the crashes and snare at 00:50 seconds, then adding in the chinas the 3rd bar.🤘METAL AF! Been following you for many years now. You're better than ever nowadays! Keep doing what you're doing man.
A decade ago my life was a lot simpler and happier, and I was listening to a lot of TIJ. Something about the TIJ "sound" just puts my mood and headspace back like it was then, in a way I can't really describe. As a drummer myself this music is more than just technical drum porn and metal riffage, it's therapy. So glad you guys are back.
You'll always be one of my all time favourite drummers! Can't believe its been 13 years since I discovered TIJ and now I couldn't be happier you guys are finally back 🔥🔥
I remember seeing tij years ago at the Otto bar in Baltimore. Adam accidentally hit a cymbal to a kit behind him but then worked cymbals from the kit behind him into his songs. Dudes a beast.
Hey man, I haven't heard that aggressiveness in months 💪🏿🥁🔥, I needed to hear this, thank you very much, a perfect and penetrating dynamic, wow that snare. 🔥 There you have your like and your subscription, make more videos like this, you inspire me
What a blessing in times of uncertainty!! Thank you Texas in July. Been listening to you since "Show some pride, dressed for war etc" so glad to see you back. I will see you live. Wow!!! You all were one of my go tos from my late teen years!!🎉🎉🎉🎉. Looking forward to much more from you all!!!
Used to watch your Hook Line and Sinner playthrough to get hyped up to go practice and this playthrough is so gnarly it’s unreal how tasteful and tight and how hard this is
Unbelievably happy that TIJ and you are back
Thank you! It’s fun
SAME!!!
You forgot christian
FOR REAL. So awesome
that little stick flip at 1:58 absolutely badass
That's his signature.
Who the heck would have that cross their mind during that insanity.?? Only the Adam.
Classic AG style
😂
I literally said "Come on bro!..." Like, he's already an incredible player shoving in our face haha
Those toms sound so incredible. The playing was immaculate.
Was going to comment the same: amazing Tom sound.
i'd hope so they're dw collectors. they cost the price of a car for just the drums. never mind cymbals (another 10kusd ish) and maybe 7-8k in hardware

@@AdamGrayDrums So happy to hear that !
He's filling in for August Burns red currently. There's some videos of him playing with them. Check em out.
Better than 95% of metal drummers on the planet, and you don't even need to open your eyes. Cymbals STAYING hit.

@@forestcityexoticsco.307my first day hearing of Texas in July. Not quite sure how they passed my radar. 🤯🤯
His flair is ridiculous. It's very personal to him
Lol. He is good but saying he's better than 95% of metal drummers makes me wonder what 'metal' are you listening too. Most of the bands I listen to have tech/prog drumming with some mad timing lol he's good but he's not Haake lol
@@TreeCityRugsExpand your radar, there’s so much hidden treasures out there
Adam Gray is and always will be one of the most influential metalcore drummers IMO. This can’t any be more tight it’s pure fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
That blast while switching hands was so sick, the whole song is sick! Awesome work! 🤘
Those drums sound SIIIICK 🤘🏼🤘🏼
They kinda remind a little of the new LMTF for sound and how they are mixed.
The snare sounds bigger than my future
@@justinpursel8596same producer will do it (Atrium Audio) aka Carson Slovak and Grant McFarland
I can watch goats play all day!! This where he belongs! Dude to me is one of the best to ever do it
That groove on the toms is the best groove I’ve ever heard in metalcore in my life
Adam Gray is without a doubt one of the most talented drummers to have ever sat behind a drum set.
Musicality, insanely good songwriting and pure soul in each hit. This is why he's one of my favorite drummers.
That Tom groove between the backbeats, in the chorus, is just too damn tasty 🔥

One of the best if not the best drummers in metal
Yes man, that's my opinion too!
Morgan berthet
100%. Him and Matt Greiner are both top-tier.
You need to open your eyes to some other drummers then lol
Chris Turner would like to speak with you
Incredible drumming, you have that x-factor that not many drummers have. Huge respect and please upload more of these videos.
Thank you! I plan on it!
@@AdamGrayDrums Great 🤘
The musicianship in his writing these drums part is perfect
This is the BEST drum play along vid I've ever seen. Audio is especially great. Awesome gear too!

It's great to see new Texas In July... in the month of July 🤘
That snare sound is unreal, sounds like a literal cannon
his posture is impeccable and those switch-hand blasts are awesome. Great feel, solid fills and terrific energy. Loved it.
That kit sounds amazing. Props to the engineers.
Insane brother!! Never been happier to see you upload another Texas In July play through!
Still one of My favourite drummers ever. That blast beat and cymbal work from 51 seconds is crazy.
My god this dude hitting hard af!!! Love it!!!!!
Greatest drummer possibly ever
What a time to be alive! You were such an inspiration to me as a young drummer, then life did it’s thing and I had to stop playing. Now I’m back drumming again after almost a decade and y’all drop this banger! Keep it coming man, this is sick!
Blew my mind never heard of this band this guy is incredible
Holy moly dude. Those blast beats between the crashes and snare at 00:50 seconds, then adding in the chinas the 3rd bar.🤘METAL AF!
Been following you for many years now. You're better than ever nowadays! Keep doing what you're doing man.
Pura violencia, me encanta el djent pausado y guitarras afinadas lo mas graves posibles bien demoledoras, muy buen video!
Every hit counts with this guy.. incredible playing
Could feel this through my phone. Thank you Adam we all love you.
Welcome back, you've been missed! This song slaps, glad to see Christian is back with the band as well!
That snare sound is deeper than the ocean.
The mixing is phenomenal too
I love the drumming of adam❤🥁
No petarda Panie Adamie 🔥
You sure know how the drums should be hit, love it! pure power!
One of the best playthroughs I’ve seen in a while.
Absolutely incredible surprise!
2:07 is absolutely gross I love it. So happy that your back, been my favourite drummer for almost a decade
The perfect sounding kit.
I love how every drummer has their own style no matter how similar to another drummer and I enjoyed seeing you perform, great style man.
I can’t stop watching this
One of the best to ever touch the sticks in my opinion.
Just when I wanted to leave this earth something beautiful from my childhood comes back to ground me.
Love to see you coming back always miss your work!!!
The legend is cleaner than clean
BEAST!!!
So much power! But yet so elegant and effortless.
Glad you’re back!!
Adams China on a breakdown has always cut through like a sword. 🗡️ Absolutely the best.
the style of adam gray's incomparable. One of the best metalcore's drummers.
A decade ago my life was a lot simpler and happier, and I was listening to a lot of TIJ. Something about the TIJ "sound" just puts my mood and headspace back like it was then, in a way I can't really describe. As a drummer myself this music is more than just technical drum porn and metal riffage, it's therapy. So glad you guys are back.
I rewatch this all the time, and it's just insane how you think Adam. The loud pauses in everything to the crazy off hand fills. You are such a inspo
Thanks TH-cam algorithm! This guys is insane!! Completely amazing
The most underrated and homeless drummer. From concrete work to spanking the skins. Respect this man.
One of the best out there!
Not a single throwaway drum section, that's why your a metal OG! This track/video is sick!
Love that this is unedited 🙌 mad props, lovely music as always from you and TIJ
Yess, no other way!
@@AdamGrayDrums GOAT 🐐
God bless this man. Best thing I've seen since Garstka.
Powerful, balanced, dynamic, mesmerising. Incredible playing, awesome mixing. Props to all
This guy is absolutely fu...ing awesome
I'm SO pumped these guys are making music again. Adam is absolutely one of the best drummers in the scene.
One of the BEST drummers in the genre IS BACK
Best drummer in the history of metalcore. Please guys release more music. TIJ ARE BACK
This is what the world needed
Damn. Every note is hit with such confidence and power it’s awesome to watch
Duuuude 🔥😭 so sick! Can we get a cymbal rundown in the description? Pleeease
You'll always be one of my all time favourite drummers! Can't believe its been 13 years since I discovered TIJ and now I couldn't be happier you guys are finally back 🔥🔥
my childhood hero, the legendary Adam Gray always killing it.
Glad to see your drumming again.
The tone of the toms is perfection! - Fantastic playthrough
Tone is amazing and his precision and timing is nuts. Impressive
This video has rekindled my passion! Cheers and well done sir!!!
I remember seeing tij years ago at the Otto bar in Baltimore. Adam accidentally hit a cymbal to a kit behind him but then worked cymbals from the kit behind him into his songs. Dudes a beast.
adam gray still going crazy in 2023
Seeing these playthroughs always make me realize how much more difficult the sticking (and whole song) is than I originally thought
Solid as solid can be :) Awesome :)
so clean my friend.
o melhor baterista de metal core que eu ja vi na minha vida . Adam Gray , completo'
It's so much more complex than I thought. Adam really is an inspiration.
Hey man, I haven't heard that aggressiveness in months 💪🏿🥁🔥, I needed to hear this, thank you very much, a perfect and penetrating dynamic, wow that snare. 🔥
There you have your like and your subscription, make more videos like this, you inspire me
he still got it man KILLER
What a blessing in times of uncertainty!! Thank you Texas in July. Been listening to you since "Show some pride, dressed for war etc" so glad to see you back. I will see you live. Wow!!! You all were one of my go tos from my late teen years!!🎉🎉🎉🎉. Looking forward to much more from you all!!!
my fav drummer
That trick at 1:59 is the old and gold Adam Gray spicy drum taste. SO awesome to see you playing again!
Cymbals sound great!!
Used to watch your Hook Line and Sinner playthrough to get hyped up to go practice and this playthrough is so gnarly it’s unreal how tasteful and tight and how hard this is
The song, the production, the sound.
That's a perfect in my opinion !
Welp. He ain't lost the touch😅 this made my day. I'll do yearly checks to see if anything is going to happen. I'm so stoked
FANTASTIQUE...
I was watching your videos when I was 15 and I am very glad to see this now at 25 years age, thank you man.
this is a masterpiece
precise, calculated and technical. Adam Gray you're one of favorite's to watch!
The G.O.A.T is back.
cymbals so crispy
Was watching old vids of Adam then this came up in my feed. 🔥 We need hook line & sinner next. 😮💨
Adam you are amazing! for me you are one of the best inspirations in the metal drummer world, what a beast!
