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 !
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.
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!
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.
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.
G'damn, Adam Gray is still a beast. I remember when the drum set start moving bc he was hitting it too hard. Miss his stick trick days, but I so happy for his growth.
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 🔥🔥
Man, you were (and still are!) one of my favorite drummers in metal. I remember finding hook, line, and sinner and the rest of the I AM record and and being like "This drummer fuckin' rips!" and followed TIJ ever since. Now yall are back and I am STOKED. Especially for more drum content. 🙌🙌🙌
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
Im 100% convinced the reason metalcore drumming is the way it is today is SOLELY due to Adam Gray's influence. Every drummer in a band now used to watch Adams vids and look up to him. So glad to see he is back
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
The 🐐 is back!! 💪🏽 🥁 Me and my best friend used to watch all of your videos back in high school / college, you were a huge inspiration for both of us to get into drumming ourselves, so pumped you’re playing with TIJ again, can’t wait for more!
The thing i love the most in your drumming is the technicaly perfection, the little surprising fill you put everywhere all this with a good heavy hitting style! Youre a beast !! So good to see !
So glad to see you back absolutely slaying dude ❤️ also... The choice to go to the open hats when that riff comes back at 1 min 24 goes DISRESPECTFULLY hard. Stoked you boys are back at it 🔥
If the dictionary was in a visual/audio format, this would be the definition for the word "perfect". Absolutely stoked to hear more from you and TIJ, can't wait for the album! ❤

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

This was so good. Made me love the song even more.
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 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Thank you! There will be more.
@@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.
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
That blast while switching hands was so sick, the whole song is sick! Awesome work! 🤘
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
That Tom groove between the backbeats, in the chorus, is just too damn tasty 🔥
Musicality, insanely good songwriting and pure soul in each hit. This is why he's one of my favorite drummers.
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.
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
The musicianship in his writing these drums part is perfect
That snare sound is deeper than the ocean.
This is the BEST drum play along vid I've ever seen. Audio is especially great. Awesome gear too!
Insane brother!! Never been happier to see you upload another Texas In July play through!
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!
Fuck yeah man! So happy to see this , big inspiration to me! Glad to see you killing these songs again!!! 🙏
Welcome back, you've been missed! This song slaps, glad to see Christian is back with the band as well!
It's great to see new Texas In July... in the month of July 🤘
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.
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.
Love that this is unedited 🙌 mad props, lovely music as always from you and TIJ
Yess, no other way!
@@AdamGrayDrums GOAT 🐐
G'damn, Adam Gray is still a beast. I remember when the drum set start moving bc he was hitting it too hard. Miss his stick trick days, but I so happy for his growth.
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 🤘

Love to see you coming back always miss your work!!!
the style of adam gray's incomparable. One of the best metalcore's drummers.
One of the best playthroughs I’ve seen in a while.
Every hit counts with this guy.. incredible playing
2:07 is absolutely gross I love it. So happy that your back, been my favourite drummer for almost a decade
Seeing these playthroughs always make me realize how much more difficult the sticking (and whole song) is than I originally thought
Just when I wanted to leave this earth something beautiful from my childhood comes back to ground me.
Man, you were (and still are!) one of my favorite drummers in metal. I remember finding hook, line, and sinner and the rest of the I AM record and and being like "This drummer fuckin' rips!" and followed TIJ ever since. Now yall are back and I am STOKED. Especially for more drum content. 🙌🙌🙌
You sure know how the drums should be hit, love it! pure power!
So much power! But yet so elegant and effortless.
Glad you’re back!!
I'm SO pumped these guys are making music again. Adam is absolutely one of the best drummers in the scene.
Not a single throwaway drum section, that's why your a metal OG! This track/video is sick!
Tone is amazing and his precision and timing is nuts. Impressive
You can tell the similarities to his cousin adam (ABR ) both legends ❤
Greatest drummer possibly ever
The most underrated and homeless drummer. From concrete work to spanking the skins. Respect this man.
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!!!
It's so much more complex than I thought. Adam really is an inspiration.
Adams China on a breakdown has always cut through like a sword. 🗡️ Absolutely the best.
Dude this playthrough is insane. Your drums have such distinct sound. Absolutely incredible
Damn. Every note is hit with such confidence and power it’s awesome to watch
Something Ive always loved about Adam’s style is that it’s a different experience to WATCH him play.
Absolutely incredible surprise!
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
my childhood hero, the legendary Adam Gray always killing it.
The legend is cleaner than clean
The tone of the toms is perfection! - Fantastic playthrough
I’m so excited and absolutely can’t wait for the new album and your. Sooooooooooooo happy you guys are fokn back!!!!!!!!
Im 100% convinced the reason metalcore drumming is the way it is today is SOLELY due to Adam Gray's influence. Every drummer in a band now used to watch Adams vids and look up to him. So glad to see he is back
Absolutely incredible!
ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE!!!!
One of the best out there!
BEAST!!!
He's still got it!
I'll never forget hearing the salt of the earth EP and thinking "holy shit, this is fucking mad!"
Glad to have you back brother
Better than 95% of metal drummers on the planet, and you don't even need to open your eyes. Cymbals STAYING hit.
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
@@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
@@thejackoat7687Expand your radar, there’s so much hidden treasures out there
What a machine!!! Amazing 🔥🔥🔥
YESSSS WE ALL NEED SOME ADAM GRAY DRUMS IN OUR LIVES! 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽
I can’t stop watching this

Best sounding toms I've ever heard. Peak sound, such clean hits. Sick man 🤘🏻
Oh man I’ve missed this entire group so much. Beastly as always.

precise, calculated and technical. Adam Gray you're one of favorite's to watch!
So good!
Man! I remember shitting bricks back in 2011 seeing you flip your sticks on Hook Line & Sinner. Great to see you still shredding today!
So glad to see you back absolutely slaying dude ❤️ also... The choice to go to the open hats when that riff comes back at 1 min 24 goes DISRESPECTFULLY hard. Stoked you boys are back at it 🔥
Thank you! I thought it was dumb when I first thought of it. But we decided it’s cool. Haha
@@AdamGrayDrums hell no dude, comes in SO hard. Look forward to hear more tracks!
