Here is what I consider the top drummer in the game. Able to play crazy stuff beyond comprehension. Yet there he is! Laying down the straight groove. Showing simplicity in such a beautiful way that it looks complex. Then BAM! Hits you right in the kisser to remind you he's got top level speed and technique. I love it all!
Eh. Matt Garstka. Check him out. Nothing against this guy but I don't consider him "top of the game ". (Just my opinion. ;) but my only thing about both of these drummers that really gets to me... is the fact that they don't play Sabian! Lol
+Thurman Ulrich A lot of them get unfairly judged because they are in a genre that allows for very minimal deviation from the style. However, you'd be remiss in believing that Roddy, Kollias, Haake or a few of the virtuoso type players of the genre can't play other styles effectively and convincingly.
@@hermanmelville3871 I always tried to get a ton of my metal friends on board with the album King of All Kings by Hate Eternal and a lot of them didn't like it much. Roddy is fucking sick!
I really miss playing drums, I haven't played for more than 3 years and the truth is that this man reminds me how much I love playing drums. I know that one day, with the favor of God, I will be playing again and enjoying the way Cris does.
I'm a drummer of near twenty years and I'm not famous nor in a musical career. Yet I practice most days anyways. The biggest challenge I ever faced was continued practice even though that time spent didn't translate into financial return or peer recognition. Despite this I'm mostly joyful that I've kept the instrument in my life because of how I find expression for my own creativity and how when practicing or playing I feel released and stress free. Bring drums back, I actively encourages you here via my words of experience. If you expect something from it you might create an obstacle to you continuing it at all. If you find zen and personal pleasure you might develop a side of you that otherwise would have been neglected. It's satisfying beyond what we might think. I love it like I had the first day I started. Get it back in your life I'm saying to you as friendly and earnest advice
This is my first listen to Chris Coleman...........I have heard other artists refer to him, but.............this is my first exposure. I am completely impressed! The phrasing is brilliant...........along with technically superb! Chris just went onto my list of favorite drummers (after one listen)!!!!
OK, I have listened to this about 8-9 more times.............and just a little more impressed each time I hear (if that is even possible). That paraddidle break is the middle of the song is genius! I am still laughing out loud over Sam Slater's comment about him playing his own superhero theme........that is pretty much exactly what is going on here!!!
Chris I don't know if you'll see this message or not, but watching you play makes me beyond happy. It makes me realize that no matter what life I've chosen for myself, no matter how I'm ever feelin, I can always reach out and reach others through the power of music and feel that contentedness I see you have at the very end. Everything you do is just so musical, right down to individual hit velocities, so you always seem to be a true part of a track rather than a rhythmic element. Thank you so much for your inspiration and the hard work you've put in to be at this level. Hope to meet or at least see you in the future so I can thank you in person. Cheers!
RIGHT!?>!?!? Your videos are also awesome Troy. Speaking of your videos....where the fuck you been???? Do you have another TH-cam channel no one knows of???
Everything in the video, the music, the cameras, the sound, the composition, the soundtrack, his performance, that type of music everything in this is a love letter to musicianship. His level of talent is already proven by the years. He has nothing to prove anymore. He reached his Valhalla. Kudos for him.
Good God I love this guy!💓. The pure joy on his face when he jokes and smiles!! He's in his own universe. He just makes you wanna keep playin if for no other reason but to have fun doin it. Thank you Chris Coleman👍👍👍👍
One man who uses his bizeps for the right thing. To inspire other human to start their own stuff. Nice to see, how much meaning one person can put in one so simple word. Thanks for the inspiration. Greetings from germany.
I'm actually a fan of a lot of the younger "hot" drummers out now but this sounds like a grown man who has seen it all and knows how to season it with taste. the portions where he plays the groove makes you really appreciate the solos and licks.
The drum equivalent of Satriani, technically excellent but still warm and eloquent, with a powerful groove and overflowing with skill. So nice to float away with.
Scott Wilson that is such a great assessment. Both Satriani and Coleman are expert players but shine further more because their composition skills are amazing :)
The section from 3:23 with the snare drum paradiddle triplets moved to the toms is what I will be working on. I believe I can succeed too or I wouldn't even try. Really well done Chris. Your interpretation is great - open spaces too, not killin it wide open throughout. And what a drum set! Oh yeah, cymbals too. Can't leave Meinl out.
Senor Gamer you know a drummer is good when he makes you think of your favorite video game I was thinking a new boss theme for Street fighter 5 it would be epic especially 3.24 until the end it can be for the final round
Chris Coleman...you are so entertaining to watch. I 1st notice you when you were playing for Chaka Khan. Your were flawless that night. I can't tell you how much I wish I could play like that.
So much I want to say about this!! So much musicality! He left room in the music that created so much anticipation for the face shredding chops. So much control! Self control. Beautiful performance! Bravo!!!
Every possible drum fill, chop, or roll scenario you could think of, and this man not only did it ages ago, but he's got them figure it out before you could ever dream, or think up of one. It's like he's the "yoda" of drums..
Chris, you are such a fine drummer. But, more importantly, you always look like you're enjoying yourself and having big fun with those huge grins. Good for you !
My boy Chris Coleman just slayed!!! Production, Video, and Audio = Great !!! Chris Coleman = SUPERB. Bravo as always my man and don't get me started on the cymbals. #MeinlRocks
That fill going from intro to groove at 0:40 was simply put “a thing of beauty”. He is so clean and so fast and just knows how to take it to the edge without overplaying or being super choppy. I’ve been playing semi professionally for a long long time, and I’m nowhere near the level of this guy.....but he inspires me to just try my hardest to improve every day. There is definitely no shortage of great drummers out today, but he stands out among them. This guy is like Tony Royster Jr mixed with Vinnie Caliouta (spelling?????) and some Dave Weckle thrown in. But then he takes that and just rockets it to levels never seen before. Dammit this guy makes me wanna play 24x7. And then that lick at 1:09 just made me wanna listen to it over and over and over until I could figure it out. Needless to say, I’m still working on it.
Man, I gotta say, if I watch you play at least once a day, it makes my day filled with positive thoughts and ideas for the remainder. Thank you for your love of the instrument. You are genuinely passionate about it with no ego at all. What an ultimate place to be. Pure!! And that's thee essence of greatness.
+MEINL Cymbals Oh my goodness THANK YOU. Chris is an absolutely amazing drummer that I have got to meet sometime before I die. Absolutely astounding drummer.
+Sammage DaSammich Meet Chris at Namm couple years Ago ...Great human being... Super down to earth... gave me a 5 min drum lesson .. he used the wall as a snare drum .. .. Crazy!
Max Friesen he says tool because tool is influenced by Progressive rock. And since tool is likely the only Prog band he listens too, he could only compare this to tool. "Tool but with Nintendo music" is basically a definition of Prog anyway lol. This what Coleman is playing is more like jazz fusion/Prog tho
+Adam Youdell definitely. I know I was. I play drums in a band heavily influenced by punk with some prog sprinkled in, and I know I tend to write keyboard parts that remind me of Sonic the Hedgehog against whatever music we're doing. I'm really happy with a lot of the current music coming out because it's got a lot of that stuff sprinkled in.
After 7 years ago…I’m here watching again 😌
Chris Coleman the G.O.A.T
😂 yes i also watched it today again. Sorry there is no G.O.A.T in drumming just several superdrummers like him
@@zulu5157 me too. Here seven years and watching again.
The tension & release concept taken to a galactic level at 03:23 to 04:02. Chris is pure gold.
03:10 = wait for it..... 03:23 = GO!!!!!!!
Stratospheric indeed, you could make some electricity of it
If you think this is good, wait until you hear him WITHOUT A MUSIC SOUNDTRACK. He is much better than this.
You are right!!
He has no groove.. He IS the groove.
Stunning!
Hell yeah
Impressive!
cool!
This has got to be one of the single greatest drum performances of all time. Chris Coleman is the mannnnnn
Here is what I consider the top drummer in the game. Able to play crazy stuff beyond comprehension. Yet there he is! Laying down the straight groove. Showing simplicity in such a beautiful way that it looks complex. Then BAM! Hits you right in the kisser to remind you he's got top level speed and technique. I love it all!
Thanks for the luv! 👍🏿
+Christopher Coleman (CrC) what are you playing at 3:30?
+Joe Vargas Exactly
Alex Wandless paradiddles
Eh. Matt Garstka. Check him out. Nothing against this guy but I don't consider him "top of the game ". (Just my opinion. ;) but my only thing about both of these drummers that really gets to me... is the fact that they don't play Sabian! Lol
This is truly one of the greatest drumming performances in history.
🤣🤣
INDEED..............
This is what a COMPLETE drummer looks like. Not a single weakness in his playing.
So he has no big white whale to conquer?

@@brianmcguire5175as a young person who’s only practiced drums for a couple months drums this is nice advice. Thanks man 🙏🏿
Even his smiles are in time... 3:15
David Laudicina underrated
The man is so rhythmic that he even smiles in time. He's built different.
Best comment i´v seen
Gift From God.
I've heard dozens of other top tier drummers, but this guy is the absolute embodiment of pocket. Absolutely astounding.

6 years late here but I couldn't agree more! Absolutely one of the most inspiring musicians I've ever found
One of the ABSOLUTE best drummers ever. Mind blowing❤️
Well that was an absolute pleasure to watch!
We love you, Troy!
best comment here
Can't agree with you more troy... this was awsome
Troy Wright hkkiiklllikiykgj
RIGHT!?>!?!? Your videos are also awesome Troy. Speaking of your videos....where the fuck you been???? Do you have another TH-cam channel no one knows of???
ドラムやった事無いから分からないけど、この人のドラムは力強くて音が安定してて質が凄く良い、クオリティ半端ない。
Everything in the video, the music, the cameras, the sound, the composition, the soundtrack, his performance, that type of music everything in this is a love letter to musicianship.
His level of talent is already proven by the years. He has nothing to prove anymore. He reached his Valhalla. Kudos for him.
Great guy from Michigan that I had the pleasure of growing up with no doubt at all
My jaw drops to the floor every single time I see this man playing. Chris is such a god at this instrument.
Chris you have created your own form of art. I am in total awe of you.
Im speechless. That was so good. Amazing. My favourite drummer of all time. Chris is pure talent, pure inspiration.
you put Chris on any genre of music you could think of and i'm sure he will deliver a good performance....without a doubt.
musique concrete?
And that's the definition of "owning" a tune. Hot damn!
Chris Coleman is a BEAST !!!!!!!! This is so great on so many levels. My GAWD !!!!!!! - Mike , a bass player ( Honorary drummer )
It's like he's playing to his own superhero theme
+Sam Slater LoL
Haha so true.
Exactly! :D
More like Pokemon Chop!
That is hysterical!!!! .......and oh so true!
so, this is how metal sounds without distortion...
The more I listen the more accurate this becomes...
And without the Super Gain
This doesn't sound anything like metal. Also who tf distorts a drum kit?
Aidan Low I feel like you were really tired when you said this
Be nice to understand anything you where talking about. I just appreciate the music so much.
man put this guy on national tv. too good of a talent not to be seen in the spotlight
Amazing talent! He seems to have a playful/joyful personality as well!
He's basically the happiest guy you could ever hope to meet. 🙂
The fills are so incredibly well arranged and played - pure joy to watch!
Good God I love this guy!💓. The pure joy on his face when he jokes and smiles!! He's in his own universe. He just makes you wanna keep playin if for no other reason but to have fun doin it. Thank you Chris Coleman👍👍👍👍
I remember when I went to a drum clinic and got to play drums with this guy! He's an amazing drummer and person
One man who uses his bizeps for the right thing. To inspire other human to start their own stuff. Nice to see, how much meaning one person can put in one so simple word. Thanks for the inspiration. Greetings from germany.

Intensity, speed, control, accuracy, passion = one bad ass master of the kit
The drum equivalent of Satriani, technically excellent but still warm and eloquent, with a powerful groove and overflowing with skill. So nice to float away with.
Scott Wilson that is such a great assessment. Both Satriani and Coleman are expert players but shine further more because their composition skills are amazing :)
Very good song good drumming from Chris Coleman
Very refreshing to see a drummer with technique like Chris play matched grip! 1:10 to 1:23 is some sick shit.
6 years later...im still finding your playing to be inspirational.
You sir have mastered the art of tasteful yet insanely awesome drumming.
If I ever make a movie in the future, please let me use this PERFECT song in the soundtrack lol!!! Kaz Rodriguez and Chris Coleman are LEGENDS.
The section from 3:23 with the snare drum paradiddle triplets moved to the toms is what I will be working on. I believe I can succeed too or I wouldn't even try. Really well done Chris. Your interpretation is great - open spaces too, not killin it wide open throughout. And what a drum set! Oh yeah, cymbals too. Can't leave Meinl out.
My HERO! Amazing drummer!
that's so awesome Chris you are the motivator My favourite drummer too .GOD BLESS YOU
Sounds like a video game music! Love it.
+Senor Gamer i thought the same!! :p
+SH1D0 T4TSUM3 I always 'GO' back and watch this video when I'm bored
Senor Gamer you know a drummer is good when he makes you think of your favorite video game I was thinking a new boss theme for Street fighter 5 it would be epic especially 3.24 until the end it can be for the final round
Man Chris im glad you stayed playing the drums from kids to Adults! My Dad to me you was still at it! Love You Cousin keep it up!
SUP CUZO! ... HOPE ALLZ WELL 🤙🏾
This guy is Bruce Lee on the drums, precise, powerful and deadly! :) This was unbelievable.
Always humble and always teaching, love this guy!!!
not many drummers can hang with Chris's tom rolls.
Seen Chris Live At A Clinic In New Zealand, Wow! Speechless :-D
Yes! I love Chris Colemans style. So happy to see this in my sub box.
Really tight, very very aliken of that regimental playing of GH, Coleman has that new age playing...!
This guy is an excellent drummer.
Chris Coleman...you are so entertaining to watch. I 1st notice you when you were playing for Chaka Khan. Your were flawless that night. I can't tell you how much I wish I could play like that.
Makes me regret giving up playing and has given me the itch to start again!!
Chris = Intensity, variety, precision and power. One of the best to ever do it.
Good to see Kaz's tracks gaining more traction!
The expression. ..."killin'... is really defined here. Chris this among many of your featured kicks takes the top! Clean!
CHRIS! wow such power and SO CLEAN emotion is so nice and clean wow this is a beautiful exposition!
really looking forward to this video to hit a million views. Chris Coleman deserves it
you're out of this world. dude.
So much I want to say about this!! So much musicality! He left room in the music that created so much anticipation for the face shredding chops. So much control! Self control. Beautiful performance! Bravo!!!
I totally dig his style. amazing!
I never heard of him before yesterday damn! An absolute joy to what him play. l love his style :D
I must have backed up to 3:10 fifty times. Hysterical! Awesome performance!
Every possible drum fill, chop, or roll scenario you could think of, and this man not only did it ages ago, but he's got them figure it out before you could ever dream, or think up of one. It's like he's the "yoda" of drums..
Insane precised with a strength .... amazing work!!!I´m catched! amd happy about a sonor kit!! It`s not a trick, it`s SONOR!!! xxx

Chris I hope you see this soon and will always remember you and love the way you play the Drums brother!
This track was amazing!!!!
Fucking satisfying

I love this man most especially when he plays with victor wooten they all inspire me
Man, this guy! Pure, unadulterated joy. Love Chris Coleman 🥰
Dayum. I was expecting him to explode after that performance!!
I got so focused on this brilliant performance that somehow I found this music quite relaxing even though it is very energetic...
My goodness!!! I can't BREATHE!!!! :D :D
Such an absolute beast on the drums.
His mind seems to feel the time like few others.
Muito bom! 🇧🇷
What a professional you are! Bravo!
Thank you, Mr Coleman!
Your hard work shines!
What a monster bro! 🔥🔥
Emotional Content that hits all by itself.....like a finger pointing away to the moon....in all of it's heavenly glory....
1:18 what the heck was that? Freakin awesome dude. Have to download the video and slow it way down to break some of that apart to learn lol.
What ya'll don't understand is that this man has been like this since middle school 😅
Ronny Coleman parents?
WOW! What a great track! Out of the world drumming!
Me too, I'm playing like that !.... And then, I take off my earplugs, and finally, it's absolutly not the same... x)
Awesome! Mind blowingly skilled, lightning fast, hard hitting, powerful, ultra-precise, commanding - yet perfectly flowing - awesome sound as well. Beyond top notch!
Excuse my language, but this Kaz Rodriguez track is fucking sick.
He's a Beast!
Absolutely brilliant!!! Question? Was there more footage from this session that will be released sometime in the near future?
+drumjosh1987 Yes! We have more footage from this session that we will indeed release in the near future. Thank you for asking! (-Chris)
+MEINL Cymbals Oh my goodness THANK YOU. Chris is an absolutely amazing drummer that I have got to meet sometime before I die. Absolutely astounding drummer.
+MEINL Cymbals Any ETA on that? This is incredible!
+Sammage DaSammich Meet Chris at Namm couple years Ago ...Great human being... Super down to earth... gave me a 5 min drum lesson .. he used the wall as a snare drum .. .. Crazy!
demps7 Dude that's awesome! I'm so jealous you got a lesson from him!
This is what it's like to FEEL a beat! So much more important in drumming than anything else. Hell yeah, such a great performance
Fantastic drumming, sounds like a tool track but with Nintendo music. Your rock dude, miss my drum set :(
And who are the assholes thumbing this down, grow up....
This sounds absolutely nothing like Tool
Max Friesen he says tool because tool is influenced by Progressive rock. And since tool is likely the only Prog band he listens too, he could only compare this to tool. "Tool but with Nintendo music" is basically a definition of Prog anyway lol. This what Coleman is playing is more like jazz fusion/Prog tho
brett farv of pcourse
..this is Drumming from the heart and soul...loving it...
Is it just me or did anyone else see their soul go to heaven at 3:23?😳😳
DDrummerJones bro yes when those rolls came in I was floating right on up
Only if you are truly saved.
Absolutely amazing!!! You and Anika Nilles are my two favorite drummers right now! Thanks for sharing!
Who else felt like they were fighting a match on Smash Bros?
+deja0entendu haha my friend and I were saying how it sounds like a video game song by nintendo
+deja0entendu Sounds like the Super Smash theme song!
+deja0entendu Nah, this belongs in Sonic lol
Wow same here 😂
+Adam Youdell definitely. I know I was. I play drums in a band heavily influenced by punk with some prog sprinkled in, and I know I tend to write keyboard parts that remind me of Sonic the Hedgehog against whatever music we're doing.

extreme energy! awesome!!
Fuckin love this dude. Great work Chris.
