This is so freaking cool. Makes so much more sense in playing live. No one deafening monitors blasting. The click track is huge for live and the performance is so tight! I did this for a short time with my band before we disbanded and it made playing live so much more fun and comfortable!
@@dustysaxton your playing is so natural and you make it look comfortable. You guys running a session off a laptop or something? Do you all hear the click?
Thank you for doing this view, and bring your headset sound into play. you dont see many of these videos out here! Ive been drumming for 32 years and ive never been able to experience anything like this! I unfortuantly never made it farther than just a garage band, and have never recorded in a studio. Such a bad ass sight and sound to experience here!
Wow! You really enjoyed that gig didn’t you! To me this proves that you can be on click and still be musical. Got my beginners guide to Ableton. Never too old to learn 🙂👍🥁
The organisation and passion I get goosebumps and the mature non influenced by what so many musicians do drinking half drunk thank god that's over with for me over 7 years sober now this is not that at all well done guys. This drummer has the passion I can roll with his drumming its so understandable and strong in the songs what a bunch of organized calm rockers man love it. I can dream I'm anyone of these guys. Thank you GOD BLESS
Here is me making music up in my style its a meditation thing I do writing songs on the spot I love it. th-cam.com/video/UMy1wG9Ntrg/w-d-xo.htmlsi=HIbbOgxSUXzt3AjK
@zachsabbath1 The click isn’t there to keep people on the 1 😂 It’s there to keep the band together on tempo - especially for the purpose of running tracks and songs that start with an instrument other than percussion.
Oh man... this is awesome 🤘 fill after fill and I can't tell which one is better. And no it's not just the fills, whole drumming is brilliant. As the video progresses I'm asking myself what's he gonna do next.
Enjoying your approach to the music. More groove and creativity than most country music. New sub here bro, keep rocking and bringing the positive energy 🤘😎
Wow, that was incredible , and then at the end , next level , I mean this is not country music anymore (at the end. ) It sounded like Deep Purple maybe Lynyrd Skynyrd but heavy guitars and drums. Awesome groove and jam. I’m really glad I just stumbled upon this awesome stuff. Excellent work Dusty !!
My guy! Never heard of u or the band but good god bless that was amazing. Y’all are tight and sound great. I watched the entire show. Very entertaining.
Wow! I never knew I was a country music fan! The level of groove, profesionalism, creativity and perfect example how to use click and in-ear possibilities are very inspiring to me as a drummer. Great job Dusty.
Not really a country music fan. Im a fellow drummer and was interested in the POV. Im not familiar with popular country music but this sucked me in. But holy shit that riff and jam at the end was amazing. That was very stoner-rock. Wouldve loved to catch this show.
Thanks man! If you like stoner rock check out my other band, Sugar Skull. th-cam.com/play/OLAK5uy_kS_WncuGlz4FG2ndvbBtlw8uMYQaGtBKM.html&si=9SrU9DPYNSySlkGu
ill be honest im usually a massive hater on country music, but this dudes drumming was so entertaining to watch. the fills and grooves he played felt so heavy but also complimented what the band was doing.
Another great video! For the tracking, are the count-ins and verse tags part of the track or is your production mgr relaying the important stuff? Keep it up D!
Those are the best festival spots when you go on and the suns up, it sets mid show and you step off in the night. Great playing too. I'd love to know what cymbals you were using there. The crashes were perfectly blended, the "ride" was just fantastic and that little, cracked/chipped china sounded tremendous! Almost like some crazy snare sample! Very cool.
They’re great! They’re replacing the Audix D2/4/6’s as the new standard club-level drum mics. I love Audix but these get more sound for the same price.
What is the metal dome looking thing where the wing nut goes on the lower cymbal to the right? I thought the cymbal was a ride but it has holes like an o-zone cymbal.
@ 59:32 that gong! Good lord! Either you like gray sparkle or you have been touring with that kit since like 2012 ish I saw you in Houston when you was with evans blue and i could swear you had a gray sparkle kit then double bass crazy rack. Is it a renown? Or USA custom 😢
I love both. Having a click tho is more freeing actually because I stop worrying about tempo and listen and interact with the band more instead of sitting back wondering if we’re rushing or dragging the whole show.
@@dustysaxton Appreciate the answer. I struggle to not feel "caged in" by it. Also the fear of losing the click makes me listen to the click more than the band. Guess it just takes more exposure and experience to gel with it.
What is your biggest fail during a live set ? If you reply, I’ll hit the subscribe button. The head of my snare cracked and had to have it replaced with my back up and just play toms
We had a semi-mess up moment on stage but recovered well as a band, when the song was over I laughed super hard in the talkback mic, except the talkback was going live out of FOH, so immediately after the last note my laughter echoed through the whole venue. That just one I could think up on the spot. There are lots more!

🤘🏼
I love these behind the scenes videos. Very cool hearing the IEM track. Awesome playing man. Looks like so much fun.
Thanks man! It so much fun. I love summer festivals.
Wow I never expected a country drummer to have such insane double kick skills. Also the creativeness was off the charts
Thank you!
That Cleveland shirt is classic. My fav joke I heard is "the only reason to visit Cleveland is if your plane crashes there.
Country meets metal and pop crossover extravaganza. I’m here for it 🤘🤘
Thanks!
Honestly I don't listen to country music much but I enjoy your Drumming and joy behind the kit !
Rock music is coming back through country!
This is a next level individual. A professionals professional.
🤘🏼 thank you!

That’s a great monitor mix, Dusty! Give your monitor human a high five and a hug!
The Neil Peart of country music, right here. I'm not a country fan but I'm glad I was suggested this video. Subscribed.
Neil is the inspiration for so much.
Wow! You really enjoyed that gig didn’t you! To me this proves that you can be on click and still be musical. Got my beginners guide to Ableton. Never too old to learn 🙂👍🥁
Being on a click allows me to be MORE musical. Because the job of keeping tempo is taken away. So I can listen to the band more.
I just found my favorite drummer! You’re amazing!
Thanks! Welcome to the channel!

also, your bass player using that back beat is a game changer!!
He loves it!
Thanks for sharing that side of the show! That was cool bro. You do a great job staying on time!!!
Thanks man!
Dusty you do any amazing job! Great footage of behind the scenes and remaing calm when you set list blew away!
Awesome job, great work. Yall pull a neat trick telling those people that rock is country! Lol. Keep tellenem. 👍
Not into country much but good drumming dam! Bass player is killing it too!
That’s Jon Wisinski on bass. We were born the same week so we’re time synced by God.
awesome :P@@dustysaxton locked in for sure . Great grooves
Amazing playing and very powerful! Backing tracks seems so fun to play to! Wow I would love to see it live soon!
It’s a very fun gig! I love the power in the big PA’s
It’s crazy how we used to do this without click and backing tracks, the click tracks have really improved through the years, looks like a lot of fun
I’m in probably the last generation that still remembers the old ways.

Dude, is that your wedding ring riding the hats! lol, Super Solid Drumming and awesome to hear the back channel on IEM. Cheers!
Haha yes that’s where I put it. I can’t play with it, my skin starts to pinch around it.
uhhhh amazing playing! love this band chopping things up all tough to this style country.
Thanks man!
Watching the sun go down was beautiful.
Amazing performance Dusty! Thanks for the unique experience. Hope to catch y’all in concert at some point! Yee Yee 🤟🏽
Thanks man!

great playing man
Thanks!
Super killin!!!
Thank you my friend!
Not really a country music fan. Im a fellow drummer and was interested in the POV. Im not familiar with popular country music but this sucked me in. But holy shit that riff and jam at the end was amazing. That was very stoner-rock. Wouldve loved to catch this show.

Thank you! That’s the goal every night!
Merica goes off. Holy cow!!!!!!!!
Yeah! Thanks man! I actually wrote that one 🤘🏼
Looks like Nampa Idaho. YeeYee
Great drumming.
Thank you!
This is sick
Thanks!!
Great videon
Thanks!
If that intro song is Country, why are we grovin to it in the Hood??
Awesome playing man! Those drums sound soo good
Thanks for watching!
were you drumming for him a few years back? may have met you at Songs 4 Soldiers in Columbia illinois! Rock on!
I was with him 11 years so probably yes
Unbelievable 😊
Thank you!
Absolutely killing' it man!!
Another great video!
For the tracking, are the count-ins and verse tags part of the track or is your production mgr relaying the important stuff?
Keep it up D!
It’s part of the track. You can choose to have the count ins or mute them.
@@dustysaxtondo you know what software the clicks and count ins are built with?
@@EricLThomp75 ableton
@@dustysaxton badass job on all the videoing, etc. Looks like it was a fun gig!
What is the loose ring on your high hat post?
It’s my wedding ring. That’s where I put it when I play.
Those are the best festival spots when you go on and the suns up, it sets mid show and you step off in the night. Great playing too. I'd love to know what cymbals you were using there. The crashes were perfectly blended, the "ride" was just fantastic and that little, cracked/chipped china sounded tremendous! Almost like some crazy snare sample! Very cool.

@@dustysaxton Thanks I really appreciate that! 🍻
Fun vid! Are those Gretsch drums? The wobble is kinda crazy!
How are you liking the se drum mics? They seem to making a huge impact on the industry across the board.
They’re great! They’re replacing the Audix D2/4/6’s as the new standard club-level drum mics. I love Audix but these get more sound for the same price.
And the RN17 overheads are possibly the best overheads ever made. (Although they are way more expensive than the rest)
What is the metal dome looking thing where the wing nut goes on the lower cymbal to the right? I thought the cymbal was a ride but it has holes like an o-zone cymbal.
It’s the bell from a clase azul tequila bottle
@@dustysaxton How is it attached? Just using the cork? And do you play it at all?
I’ve never heard of a country festival
They’re huge! I played Stagecoach (happens the same month as Coachella on the same site) and had 76,000!
The festival in this video is actually just called “Country Fest”
The groove this guy has in a country band. His pocket is sooooo deep.
Thank you! Just got a new gig in a rock band!
Wow stumbled on this. You are solid man great style! What artist are you playing with ? Tracks sound good!
Been playin with a country band Granger Smith/Earl Dibbles Jr but Granger retired in August so now I’m a free agent again
Well you won’t be for long I’m sure!
I used to tour playing drums it’s a blast. Just subbed looking forward to see what’s next for you 🍻
ALLL IHEAR IS BASS AND DRUMX,,,, AN IM OKAY WITH THAT!!!!!

Same kit! Renown silver slate sparkle. I still have it but have been using the white USA custom currently.
🔥🔥🔥
Bad ass 🤘new fan
Thanks man!
In all honesty, what do you prefer, the click track or free wheelin'?
I love both. Having a click tho is more freeing actually because I stop worrying about tempo and listen and interact with the band more instead of sitting back wondering if we’re rushing or dragging the whole show.
Also it eliminates the argument of who’s rushing or dragging. I’ve found It’s just better to use one when you can.
Same thing with drum shields.
@@dustysaxton Appreciate the answer. I struggle to not feel "caged in" by it. Also the fear of losing the click makes me listen to the click more than the band. Guess it just takes more exposure and experience to gel with it.
@@Gramercy_Stiffs try an eighth note or 16th note click if you’re having trouble hearing it through the band.

It’s all post processing. Lots of EQ happeninf
