[@StaTicCc1]

Labyrinthine please!!!!

[@mike__durrett]

BRODY. Sorry for yelling.
You're sick af. Excited for the rest of the vids. That is all.

[@Daleninar]

@@StaTicCc1 yessss

[@sadia2028]

Loved the video, do Shade astray please!!!!

[@nathanoconnell6348]

Truly is just THAT song. It never lets up and keeps getting more berserk until that crushingly angelic ending sequence.

[@ELHXNDOMUSIC]

brody is goaty

[@brenthernandez6203]

Your pedal technique is so good. Proper ankle usage and you NEVER rest the beater on the head after striking the head. Super locked in. Great work as always

[@steve_matin]

Reminds me of Alex Rudi a bit.

[@silabis]

3:43 and onward is so heavy that it's actually ethereal. You guys make some unreal stuff

[@huntercurrymusic]

Genuinely one of the best doing it right now, and this mix is phenomenal too.

[@grubbsgaben4461]

I still remember to this day that like a year ago, (or maybe almost two now) I asked for a drum cover... I can't put it into words how happy I am now!!

[@elmarkapp]

Man is ghosting on that snare with hits from the heavens. Such control dude damn.

[@whatcanibreakdrums]

Tama and Meinl will always be the best sounding combination!!

[@tngghwx]

also Pearl and Zildjian

[@letroy7227]

Tama and any good cymbals actually haha.
Put some Istanbul on a Starclassic... and the kit is really "talking" as well... but with a different tone!

[@tallguyericreviews]

When your drummer has 3 first names you know it's about to be nasty.

[@59snos]

Can you play “Nocturne : Lost Faith”? I’ve always wanted to learn that one but no one ever does cover and I’m a visual learner.
