this is one of the most insane musician performances ive ever seen. i have no idea how he plays and sings like that at the same time. thanks for the video, added to favorites
@@justinx590 Yes and no. A lot of their songs do tend to be like that, but they also have plenty of songs where there's intensive drumming and singing happening simultaneously. Check out the Missed Injections video on this same channel.
I just don't understand how everybody there isn't going insane! I'm banging my head to this shit alone with headphones on, but these guys look barely alive!
Donovan was so humble after the show! Me and the band went to Denny’s to eat after and I talked to him about drumming and singing and he said practice, practice, practice! Haha and most of all HAVE FUN
@@sasaki9825 Try their QnA on their channel, the first QnA video (from around 10 months ago) that's where he talks about it. He said he started at around 6 with a cheap drum set (that was good enough for him at the time) and his brother would teach him stuff. I can't quote it verbatim but that's the gist.
@@sasaki9825 He started off playing drums but I'm guessing as with a lot of bands it can be difficult finding a lead singer so then you have to compromise. Like MIW for example chris wasn't supposed to be the lead singer but after so long of not having a lead singer he had to step up and he liked it (the feeling).
So I saw these guys in Chico Tuesday night and met Donovan and not only is he a holy shit awesome drummer, but he's a really cool dude. Hail the Sun for the win!!!
Whoa, he's like the post-hardcore version of Don Henley (lead singer/drummer of The Eagles, best known for Hotel California). And I can't believe that I didn't notice until now that they both have the same name. xD And the band DON Broco has a singing drummer, too (just on backing vocals, though). It must have something to do with the name "Don"
The thing that gets me is that his vocal lines aren't necessarily tailored to his drumming. Playing a balls-out fill while screaming? Sure, why not? Syncopated melodic bullshit during a thrashy transition? Sure.
To be fair, some people prefer to stand around and just enjoy the music. I'm one of the people that typically does this. Stands in the back or off to the side and just watches. I'm not much for jumping around or anything like that. To each their own.

It's incredibly difficult to play a show and drum for that long, but on top of that he is singing? Donovan is a incredibly talented.
true
dude is a machine
he is on the Thomas Erak coordination level
Seriously. Both doing crazy shit, yet singing and keeping time. Wish I was even slightly as talented as those legends
Donovan Melero is the drummer that dreams are made of.

When he sings his drumming gets more simple. When hes playing harder he sings less. Its all in the writing im thinking. Maybe
sex

3:47 he damn near cracked the cymbal with that hit

He's incredible.

Do you know when he started playing drums? I’m yet to see an interview where they talked about how he started playing drums and singing.🤷🏽♂️🤔

those toms though
Perfect sound for the music. Sound tech knows their shit.
I remember watching this years ago. It's still amazing. So thankful I found this band in 2012
Great band. New Age Filth is another masterpiece
mad man is playing even more than the record as well
this is amazing. Like a mix of circa survive and at the drive in, but still unique
I always felt this band was like if Anthony Green sung for Fall of Troy but yeah your comparison works too.
This is probably one of the most insanely talented group of people in one band!
We need Donovan Melero, Thomas Erak, and Luke Williams (from Arusha Accord) in a band like now.
i watch this once a day to wake me up
So I saw these guys in Chico Tuesday night and met Donovan and not only is he a holy shit awesome drummer, but he's a really cool dude. Hail the Sun for the win!!!
2:55 those toms are so satisfying
I was like 69
& Donovan's an incredible drummer, singer, performer. Great capture. I'd like to see Target Practice up close & personal like this!
+misstreebird wth? Now why's there only 68 likes?
We have that video on the channel too. ;)
Damn he’s cold 🔥🫡🫡🫡
🙌🏼
best drummer ever
To this day, still perfect. Keep it up lads.
Fucking incredible ❤🧡
Props to the guitarists too 😍
I remember watching this years ago! Glad I found it again, what a God
OK I've loved this band for about 2-3 years finally looked up a live video and wtf lead is also the drummer !!!!😃 fuck yes
Phenomenal performance!
It's clear. I can hear your message in ever song.
goooood lawd
this guy is just simply amazing. im fckn blown away, he literally does every fckn style of rock and metal in these songs. goddammit!
I can not handle the fact that Donovan has so few views on this. Sickening.
3:51 made me fucking gasp all 15 times i replayed it
BEAST MODE
Can't stop watching this
Hell yeah, I love this band.
3:53 Holy shit.
i would lovee to see them live
They were at a venue an hour away from me and I really wanted to go but one of my courses was on that day and I regret not going 🥹😅
@@benkon4285 thankfully it seems like they are still pretty actively doing performances! Hopefully ur able to catch them
@@sqmsfx530 I’d probably have to wait another year or so for them to come back to the area 😅
So sick 😍
Holy shit donovan. Like... holy shit. You are a god.
That glassjaw tattoo
incredible

Donovan is fucking awesome , i love this white gringo that i've never met
demigod status forever Donovan is legend
2:00 is eargasmic
YEEEESSSS
2:51 ❤️
1:42 WHAT THE FUCK
Donovan is amazing
Fucking insane.
The thing that gets me is that his vocal lines aren't necessarily tailored to his drumming. Playing a balls-out fill while screaming? Sure, why not? Syncopated melodic bullshit during a thrashy transition? Sure.
Explain this in simpler terms for me?
3:51 fucking legend
Just make this guy a big deal and get through with this.
His singing suffers when he drums. But such sick coordination
epic!!! sad the folks arent going banana´s and standing around with crossed arms smh
Yea, most of the the people seen in the video are just on the sides. A lot of the crowd in front of him was singing along, etc.
+Emmanuel Teran Maybe they're just blown away by his awesomeness?
Maybe I remeber seeing and meeting HTS a fter years back not knowning who they were but instantly got me to groove and move lol
+Emmanuel Teran Some just have that effect on you! Ventura? I'd like to see them at VCF!
