I come back to this video at least a few different times a year. Such a killer drummer, dude is one of the top drummers in the metal game. Knowing how little time (little as is NO TIME) he had to learn this set and nail it is pretty damn incredible in itself. I'd say he, Derek Roddy, Ken Bendene, John Longstreth and Lyle Cooper are some of my favorites off the top of my head. So many extremely talented ppl in this music scene. 🤘
Well said! Only ones, including Chason, that have such great control on these speeds and can create dynamics, are Bedene and Longstreth (and Cooper at his prime). I would also add Trey Williams and Anthony Barone to your list :) Trey's ideas, phrasing and sheer speed on Reign Supreme make me want to smash my furniture to bits and Anthony's drumming on Fearmonger is gravity blasts incarnate.
to the people who know absolutely nothing about playing drums: triggers affect the sound of the drums. they allow you to hear each individual note. nothing more. there is no machine or anything that can make a drummer play faster. it's purely hard work and determination.
Saw him live the other night and was blown away in so many ways. Guy can groove when need be, but more than anything else..just a unique approach to pretty extreme stuff and higher tempos. Everyone has said great things about him for years, but man. Just crazy live, haha. Totally unique.
"The author of life - he did abandon His lot, his herd, all of his sheep Left to the wolves brought forth from darkness Black angels all fallen In death"
This guy is a beast of a metal drummer. Now that's how you play with speed and power. He probably didn't even need triggers for the kick. That shit was powerful. Fuck I love watching guy play. You can tell he loves to play with that much energy put forth.
this sounds like the fake drums that the berzerker used to use. It's pretty nuts. If i wasn't watching him do it...i'd think he was a machine. Hell...he still might be.

I watch this video every year two or three times just to extend my lifespan
El pana René. Saludos.
It's almost disgusting how spot on he is..
So sick...
Chason is soo sick.. I remember his first video where he was a kid blasting the shit out of his lil kit when he was in that Las Vegas band..

Wow Chason can fill in for any band it seems. One of the most amazing, underrated drummers ever.
Most under rated band of ever.

John Pendleton Jr exactly!
exactly, they just make the hit louder, no faster or more precise
this guy is amazing in every band he plays with and he fills in some of the hardest sets. like for real this dude is the man

i still go back to this and think ..."the fuck?" so good!
Holy mother of god.
