- In-ear-monitor mix drum vid from TESSERACT's 2023 Latin America Tour - 'Smile' and 'The Arrow', recorded live in Sao Paolo, March 2023.
This is the IEM (in-ear-monitor) mix that I hear when we play live. As explained in previous videos, it's pretty much just drum overheads, the metronome, and instruments. I have the Porter and Davies BC2 and throne to help with the THUMP.
Pre-empting the few comments asking 'Why don't you have vocals in your mix?' - I can generally hear some vocals in the ambient sound on stage and prefer to not have them in my mix - I need to hear me, as clearly as possible. - เพลง
My favorite bald drummer ❤

Jay, you make it look so easy. You're relaxed and loose and killing it.
The relaxed style of playing he has is just a joy to watch. Its all flow and intuition for him at this point. Absolute master.
Amazing job! I love the idea of having another click track for another time signature ("drumstick" click). It also doesn't dominate the main click volume/sound-wise, so it rather helps than confuses. Very insightful! Great show at Helsinki btw!

Jay your limb independence is insane, and the parts you write fit the music so damn well. Seriously though, you have Tomas Haake levels of limb independence.
come BACK to Brazil 🤘🏻🇧🇷
I was there. This gig was awesome
That's a like before watching it. Then unliking it to like it again afterwards.
Sao PaUlo!!! LOVE YOUR WORK, JAY!!!
This is amazing, man... The way you fluctuate between different timings without loosing track... After how many years of effort did start playing djent like that??? I'm 1 year in and I won't give up until I'm able to play djent.
It’s hard to say exactly when I became able to play this stuff, but I spent a good number of years actively trying to understand it and unlock patterns. Now, I take a lot of it for granted
Half way through the song it sounded like the click is a part of the song itself, it kinda fits which is wild. I really appreciate your time in posting this, these are some of the things us normal folk always wonder about. I find it interesting how you state needing to hear yourself above all else, I know for me the less I hear my own playing the harder I play which ruins the dynamics.
I don’t know why but i expected that both the clik track and the cues were going to be far more complex, but it turned out that the mix is clean and not oversaturated with information
A load of the cues here are for the guitarists too - I generally just need the count-in before the song and after any non-drum sections in the songs
Not surprised as you have your own precise metronome on your left foot! 😮
Keep posting, please, these are useful and inspiring.
@@JayTesseracT Wooow 🤯🤯
There was a time when I was performing live often and having to learn setlists within several days while working a day job. I would “cheat” by dropping text-to-speech vocal cues into my IEM mix. Every few bars you’d hear “switch to crash,” “switch to hats,” “breakdown,” “four hits,” “tom fill,” etc. THAT was an oversaturation of information.
It is interesting to get insides. Thank you for sharing your experience
so sick! thanks for sharing, its very intriguing to hear what you hear in your IEM's.
What a BEAST!
Nice.
COME TO BRAZIL!!!!!!!! 🇧🇷💚💛💙🇧🇷
What the hell is that hat rhythm at the end of Smile!? Is that in the original? Threw me well off 🤣 Sounds so sick
No that’s something I’ve changed since we played it live - it’s basically using the 3:2 polyrhythm to establish the right hand count. Or, it’s a dotted 8th
@JayTesseracT Impressive! What a joy to listen to. Also, the bouncy beat you have after the first two guitar bends in 'War of Being' is SO addictive! Sounds almost like a HipHop beat 😁 Keep innovating, dude 🤙
Sick playing as usual, I have heard from Amos in an old rig rundown that sometimes each one has a different metronome in some parts, does this apply to smile/the arrow?
The other guys will sometimes have random cues and clicks to guide their playing - you can hear some of them in this track.
Hearing the click is so impressive, not to mention the playing which is so original. I do have a question about backache, as an injury prevents me from playing for long periods, do you naturally have good posture or have you had to learn that? And do you use things like deep heat for long tours, or is your general fitness good enough to see you through? Cheers!
I sit on the edge of my throne, so that kind of forces me to sit 'up'. I catch myself slouching sometimes though. I haven't had to use deep heat or anything like that before, no. I will occasionally dunk my hands into ice water post-show as, occasionally, the tendons in my fingers give me grief. I blame keyboard use for this though 🙃
@@JayTesseracT I mean the workout for a full show must be pretty intense, lesser effort from some athletes gets the ice bath treatment! But sitting on the edge is a great shout, will give that a go, cheers!
2:05 are those sticks in the click the to mark the duration of the fill? 😮
They're for the guitarists
I think it's cool that you use a click track when playing!!
Wow, very impressive!! One question comes up: how do you feel in your head after a gig with this track in your ears, playing for 1.5-2 hours? I mean, it's a helpful tool for you and you probably barely think about it while playing....but afterwards? Your ear/head must be tired
Curious to know, are you using a specific piece of software for your click tracks? Or are they essentially just programmed, exported and played back by the band's live rig software so they can be output as part of the on-stage mix?
It’s all in Cubase
Big fan of these videos. Thanks for continuing to post.
Are you still comfortably getting rimshots with that snare angle, or are you just not prioritizing rimshots as part of your sound?
I adjusted the snare angle to achieve easier rim shots - playing for 2+ years on the Roland kit through covid changed my default snare technique, and this angle helped me hit more consistent rim shots on the acoustic.
1:25 ghost notes galore 🫠
didnt know tomar was a drummer
COME TO BRAZILLLLLL JAJAJA
