I never thought anyone could replace Jimmy, but in my opinion Brooks was the PERFECT choice to continue the legacy. He brought not only his own style to the band, but also still respected and replicated The Rev’s style in the process. 100% my favorite metal drummer that’s around today
When I first heard their new stuff I thought it kind of sounded over processed but live he is amazing. They’re all super talented and their new stuff sounds so much better live in my opinion
There’s an interview with M from 2004 where he’s asked about putting a hypothetical supergroup together of his favorite musicians and he says he would put Brooks Wackerman on drums which blew my mind. I was expecting him to say Vinnie Paul or Mike Portnoy.
Brooks is the best thing that could have happened to A7X after Jimmy's passing, I did not think it possible someone would be able to fill his shoes and take the band a step further, but here we are. Plus he's so down-to-earth like the rest of the band, you just have to love him. As Matt said: "If you have a problem with Brooks, you are the problem." I love his respect towards Jimmy's work, as he showed in the Breakdown of Beast and the Harlot a while back, and my respect for him only continues to grow.
His drumming on “The Stage” was that thing that finally made me to pay attention to drums, because before that I never really listened to them that closely. But on “The Stage” my ears were just automatically listening to those beautiful drum parts throughout whole album And after that I started to pay attention to drums in all of the other songs and groups I listen to. So, thank you Brooks!
Met Brooks at a random McDonald’s in Costa Mesa in 2011 (the one in South Coast Plaza for anyone that lives in Orange County) and brooks offered to give me a free lesson on the kit at Best Buy. Still use that advice to this day when approaching punk beats. Dude is so nice it’s actually insane.
Shout out to that McDonald's that got killed for Din Tai Fung and I'ma guess the Best Buy in Metro Pointe. My first job was retail at South Coast around that time where I'd munch on a 20-piece every break like a fool and afterwards, my friends and I would jam at Best Buy til close since it was closer relatively compared to Guitar Center lol. That's so awesome that you got to meet Brooks and gain some of his insight towards drumming.
Best person on the kit with a7x since Jimmy. My hats off to this man. He is a student of music! He does not just bang, he dissects the instrument/parts/rhythms...as a drummer, his taking the throne in my favorite band makes me a very happy man. EXCELLENT work, Brooks!
Brooks is incredible. When it was announced he joined A7X I had no clue who he was. The man is a master behind a kit. Pays homage to Rev and adds his own influence and it's delicious. I'm thankful he joined because it's been incredible.
I knew Brooks from Bad Religion, so I knew he was a beast and a good choice for A7X. But I had no idea he was THAT MUCH of a beast 😄 I'll always be a fan of Bad Religion, but I do have to say his talent was a little bit wasted there. I'm happy for him that he finally has a chance to show what he can really do, and BR found a great replacement with Jamie Miller, so it's a win-win for everyone 👌
Brooks! So humble, no ego, insanely talented. Dudes a great guy, and hilarious. Very humble if you get a chance to meet him or have a chat with him. Gave me a few sticks when I saw him last.
It's so interesting hearing the writer of an insane part say it was hard for them as well to learn. Like he understood the concept of the sound he wanted and worked and worked to make it a reality. Mad respect.
Jimmy was apparently the same way, Syn said he can remember Jimmy coming up with the crazy fills for City of Evil. Definitely makes them different and better than others.
Brooks is one of the great metal drummers of all time IMO. He is just such a wonderfully well rounded drummer and can effortlessly switch between thrash, jazz fusion, etc.
Brook seems very humble. The other drummers he mentions like Freese and Chamberlain are two of my favorites. I also followed Cobham after seeing him on a Zildjian VHS promotional tape, which I still have. That cassette also featured Dennis Chambers. As a young metal drummer growing up in the early 90's, that tape opened up a whole other world and appreciation of drummers beyond metal, which influenced my style. Years later I would take lessons from Dorothea Taylor (The Godmother of Drumming). Learning all those rudiments on top of my metal/punk background helped me get my foot in the door for many gigs.
I’ve been a big fan of Brooks since probably the very beginning of his professional career when he was in the band Bad4Good around 1992. I was 16 and Brooks was a year younger than me and I remember I was really jealous of the Drum kit he was using and the way he was playing, because he was so much better than I was. There was so much maturity in his playing, way more than I had at that time. He was definitely a big influence on me when I was a kid that’s for sure. It’s great to see that he’s still doing this after all these years. And why wouldn’t he? He’s a Wackerman! 😆
This video right here exposes the difference between a high level professional and everyone else. Most amateur drummers can't play those songs. Some drummers can, but surely they struggle to play. And here's the man, making it look like a walk on the park. Brooks is one of the most virtuoso drummers out there.
I saw him when he toured with tenacious D. They gave him a lot of freedom to do what he wanted and they did a jazz section of the gig and wackerman was genuinely so good. I've not heard him play jazz on any records but as a mainly rock drummer, he could play the quiet, smooth jazz straight after a rock song, get himself into that zone etc. Excellent and very diverse drummer
I love Brook because he filled the role and didnt take away from jimmys ideas and copied them to a T but still kept his personal style and you can hear it but damn do I miss Jimmy. I wonder what conversations Jimmy and Brooks would be having right now if they could have at least 1 😢❤ foREVer
Idk about anyone else. But brooks has always seemed like a 45 year old (mentally) version of the rev. Like he's tall, lanky, wacky, more grown up version of Jimmy's hair, it's crazy the similarities between these two and weather the band will admit it or not, I guarantee it's a big reason he's still there is the feeling of similarity. If I see it, there's no way they don't. He's such a beast on the drums man. Hands down my favorite post jimmy drummer. He's My favorite drummer Alive right now. It's kinda like if Jimmy was an art/drum teacher lol. That's the vibe I get. And it's great.
Brooks Wackerman is the most genius drummer in modern era, the way his creates the drum riffs on the a7x album was so wonderful and difficult to learn, also the characters is so stick up
Brooks Wackerman is a legend. One of the best drummers I have ever seen. I have watched him play ever since I played the drums and I still watch him and play the drums. He comes from a musical family and that shows how much talent he has. Wonderful drummer.
There’s something quite admirable about an accomplished rock musician who is respectful and responsible but also gets to live that dream “rockstar” life. Great breakdowns! Thanks
The Stage is an absolute masterpiece. I thought life is but a dream was awesome too. Brooks is such a humble, down to earth guy. He knows his skills, but he also knows where he got everything from and he points out his inspirations and educators and credits them with a bunch of the genius stuff he does on the kit. He’s such a perfect fit for A7X and I’m excited to see them keep putting out BANGERS. I also love how he understands the importance of keeping some drum parts EXACTLY the same and honoring those drummers that played them. That’s something, as much as I love Josh Freese, I feel like he hasn’t done as much in Foo Fighters. I think Freese is the perfect fit for Foo Fighters and I love his drumming, but as a huge Taylor fan, it is a little disappointing to see some inconsistencies in honoring the drum parts.
*The Rev* would be Proud 🖤 He kicked butts on *'The Stage'* I was worried if someone could do *A7X* Justice as a full-time drummer, but Brooks did a very Versatile job. Haven't heard *A7X's* new Record yet, will give it a listen soon.
Avenged is my favorite band with Jimmy being my favorite drummer of all time. The way Brooks talks about Jimmy and the music he wrote absolutely touches my heart. Rock on, Brooks 🤟
Him leaving Bad Religion was a big loss, he played a big part in the band finding their roots again. His drumming on "The Empire Strikes First" album is probably the most structured and detailed the band has had. Especially his cymbal details on that album is next level. Happy to see him crushing it with Avenged.
Brooks is just an absolutely phenomenal drummer and an awesome human being ! His youtube channel is so under rated and it's a gold mine for us drummers !! He inspires me so much to push myself ! Thank you drumeo for this interview and thank you brooks for sharing your knowledge and skills with us !!
normally, it's hard to notice the drums in music unless you focus on them. The Stage (album) was the first album that i listened to where the drums are noticeable in every song and i instantly loved it.. the grooves are just so damn good. that's how i first learned about Brooks and been a fan ever since. anyways, thanks for the video. it's very insightful for someone that doesn't play the drums
Awesome video! Really hope you guys have Brooks back where he can showcase his chops on a full kit. The pads are really helpful for dissecting these parts, however they don't do his playing justice. Still a 10/10 video, thanks as always for the great content
Finally! Happy to see this. I know usually people gravitate towards lead singers and lead guitarists… but it’s so nice to learn about drummers too. You know? Every member is equally important.
Need him to get in the studio and do a first take listen drum along he will kill it I know it!!! Loved this and the tour was so good he killed it every night I saw!! 🔥🤘
Thank you guys !!!! you reminded me of 2 of my old favorite bands ! Bad Religion and Avanged Sevenfold haven't been listening to them for years.. Awsome video !
Can you please please for the love of Christ, get Brooks in the studio for a “first time” episode 🙏🏻. This man is a mad scientist and that kit is his lab!!! That had to be the hands down the sweetest pad performance. It was brilliantly effortless and immaculate and I’m such a sucker for the double kick 😵💫🤤 This was my Christmas!! 🎄🎁 and I’m not even a drummer just a girl who always had such respect and admiration for this truly masterful form of artistry. Thank you Brooks for an amazing episode and Thank you to Brandon and everyone at Drumeo . -ꨄ.
Brooks is such a badass and awesome drummer! He both has great technique, finesse and groove/feel! Loved his work both with Bad Religion and A7X(Even though their latest album isn't really my cup of tea). Easily one of the best and most versatile drummers out there!
I just saw them in Vancouver BC in august and was one of my favourite shows ever seeming brooks for the 6 time live and was so happy when I found out you’ll be doing an episode with him such a humble man such a respectful person to be around and I thank you for this ❤️❤️ best Drumeo
Fuck yes! Stoked you guys got Brooks on here. Dude has done an incredible job in A7X. We're not an easy fan base to please but Brooks came in and played as himself while still being weird enough to fit the band.

Great video. We need Max Portnoy featured on Drumeo!
@DrumeoOfficial i would LOVE to see you guys invite Meytal Cohen on the show 😍😍
Que baqueta ele está usando?
We need him on a kit next time.
Agreed.
Agreed!!
Definitely
Exactly ! This is such a turn off
@@savage_tse8220You gotta admit it helps when he's explaining the counting. Not too many distractions.
Its a shame there isnt a ton of content with Brooks out there. Please try and get him in the studio for an episode!
Coz he very low profile bro
@@user-in8xr7no8u He's just super low key and chill lol.
Yeah even though he has played for big bands
Awesome, his dad Chuck Wackerman was my jazz teacher in high school, RIP the legend
Chad Wackerman is dead ?! Damn, that suck. Loved his work with Zappa
@@laporte1625 No, Chad is alive. He said Chuck was the dad. Chuck died in 2022.
@@laporte1625Chad is his brother. Chuck was their father.
@@4Realzeaz Oh... Damn reading skills. Thanks for correcting me! Relieved, and RIP to chuck then.
@@georgeramos2176 Thanks, read that too fast. Relieved.
Brooks crushed these breakdowns.
But it hasn't started yet...
well yeah. he’s the drummer of the band
Definitely! Would love to see how Brooks do a song he hasnt heard yet.
I was waiting for you to talk to him about higher
and especially I was waiting to see him on real drums
But it was really nice to see it :)
These Brookdowns*
I never thought anyone could replace Jimmy, but in my opinion Brooks was the PERFECT choice to continue the legacy. He brought not only his own style to the band, but also still respected and replicated The Rev’s style in the process. 100% my favorite metal drummer that’s around today
100%

Make Brooks Wackerman learn a song for the first time,
this guy deserves way more recognition, he's doing an amazing job!
Brooks is the best thing that could have happened to A7X after Jimmy's passing, I did not think it possible someone would be able to fill his shoes and take the band a step further, but here we are.
Plus he's so down-to-earth like the rest of the band, you just have to love him. As Matt said: "If you have a problem with Brooks, you are the problem." I love his respect towards Jimmy's work, as he showed in the Breakdown of Beast and the Harlot a while back, and my respect for him only continues to grow.
Definitely not the best, a7x music went downhill big time. The revs influence and style is what made a7x big
That is some of the cleanest pad drumset playing I’ve ever heard.
It's so clean that it got me mad because I'm way too far from playing like that.
His drumming on “The Stage” was that thing that finally made me to pay attention to drums, because before that I never really listened to them that closely. But on “The Stage” my ears were just automatically listening to those beautiful drum parts throughout whole album
And after that I started to pay attention to drums in all of the other songs and groups I listen to. So, thank you Brooks!
This is crazy to me because the revs drum.work was the entire band sound for me. Look at almost easy. 80 percent drums.
OMG finally I can see Brooks Wackerman on drumeo. Dream come true
Fully agree😍
Yeeah, been waiting for this 🤩
Truly 💯
OMG. I don't care.
@@adriantrusca1245 commenting that on here clearly shows that..

@@kwakba that’s the one! Moved in 2015- sad that McDonald’s is gone. Lotta fun memories of my teenage years.
He's a mad genius, and one of the smoothest, most laid-back players I've seen attack such busy material. I love this dude.
His double kick playing is so clean.

Man just by listening to drummers you can only imagine just how advanced and ahead of time Jimmy really was. Wow!
Would love it if he did some Bad Religion breakdowns as well! But his drumming with Avenged Sevenfold is another level.
tbf hes about to go on stage for avenged
@@robertfullam8898 Always one…
Brooks! So humble, no ego, insanely talented. Dudes a great guy, and hilarious. Very humble if you get a chance to meet him or have a chat with him. Gave me a few sticks when I saw him last.

"The Stage" is an extremely underrated prog rock album
Brooks is one of the great metal drummers of all time IMO. He is just such a wonderfully well rounded drummer and can effortlessly switch between thrash, jazz fusion, etc.
That first transition of Brooks and TheRev gave me chills! Such a great video. Thanks Drumeo!!
Just saw then live 2 days ago. Brooks is a drumming legend.
Brook seems very humble. The other drummers he mentions like Freese and Chamberlain are two of my favorites.

Lots of good influences there...
RIP to the Rev. so happy they found someone like Brooks to take over the drums
Finally Brooks and Avenged getting a proper video.
God what a relief, that even he found The Stage’s intro difficult to play!
I’ve been a big fan of Brooks since probably the very beginning of his professional career when he was in the band Bad4Good around 1992. I was 16 and Brooks was a year younger than me and I remember I was really jealous of the Drum kit he was using and the way he was playing, because he was so much better than I was.

It’s great to see that he’s still doing this after all these years. And why wouldn’t he? He’s a Wackerman! 😆
such a beast and amazingly humble guy. in Jonny Christ's Podcast they said: "if you don't get along with Brooks Wackerman YOU got an issue"
As a huge Bad Religion fan, I'm happy for Brooks that he found a band that allows him to display his full potential.
And Avenged is that band? Funny.
@@adriantrusca1245 you're right, he was doing double rides all the time in BR.
This video right here exposes the difference between a high level professional and everyone else.
Most amateur drummers can't play those songs.
Some drummers can, but surely they struggle to play.
And here's the man, making it look like a walk on the park.
Brooks is one of the most virtuoso drummers out there.
As a lifetime A7X fan I am so thankful for Brooks. RIP Rev.
The Wackerman brothers are all awesome drummers. Great to see Brooks crushing it with Avenged.
I love how he works with his wrists. its mind blowing how effortless it looks.
Brooks is such an amazing drummer. Great to see him here and I hope we can see more of him in the future
His recoding with Suicidal Tendencies was also amazing, the recoding of Panic was one of my top songs of Brooks
FACTS. Freedumb is an insane album!
0:25 the transition from brooks to rev made me go Aarghhh 🔥 so smooth
All those little fills within the last five minutes *chef's kiss*
What a humble guy, love Brooks!
My favorite drummer !!! I have been waiting for that video my whole life 😅
LIBAD is a classic. The Stage is a classic. Amazing drums all the way through both.
When Brooks announced this I was hyped! I love Brooks, hes a beast behind the kit 🤘🏻
Love that guy! My cousin was his school principal in L.A. and she also has only great things to say.
Just a badass all around.
The Rev would def approve of Brooks!! He is awesome. Im glad one of my fav bands has Brooks at the helm!
Love Brooks so much, he's definitely the man to continue Avenged's drums
I saw him when he toured with tenacious D. They gave him a lot of freedom to do what he wanted and they did a jazz section of the gig and wackerman was genuinely so good.

I wonder what conversations Jimmy and Brooks would be having right now if they could have at least 1 😢❤ foREVer
What a phenomenal drummer. He makes everything look so effortless.
Brooks is such an amazing drummer! 🎉🎉🎉
Idk about anyone else. But brooks has always seemed like a 45 year old (mentally) version of the rev.

He’s such a phenomenal drummer. Did not know he played on that Infectious Grooves album will be listening to that again soon
Love how respectful he is of Jimmy. Really good fit for the band.
It’s actually insane how calm and relaxed he is when he plays some of the most metal shit you’ve ever heard on the drums
The Stage is an absolute masterpiece. I thought life is but a dream was awesome too. Brooks is such a humble, down to earth guy. He knows his skills, but he also knows where he got everything from and he points out his inspirations and educators and credits them with a bunch of the genius stuff he does on the kit.

josh just got the gig and didn’t even recorded a studio album yet. give him some time.
*The Rev* would be Proud 🖤
He kicked butts on *'The Stage'*
I was worried if someone could do *A7X* Justice as a full-time drummer, but Brooks did a very Versatile job.
Haven't heard *A7X's* new Record yet, will give it a listen soon.
You should really do a full lesson with him, the new album is so good and refreshing and the drumming is so so good!
Man, I just love Wackerman's drumming. The dude is real solid
Brooks holy shit cant wait for tomorrow breakfast while enjoying this gem of a video!
Can you PLEASE get this man for one of those studio kit videos?
i´ve been waiting for this for many years bro, thx drumeo!
Avenged is my favorite band with Jimmy being my favorite drummer of all time. The way Brooks talks about Jimmy and the music he wrote absolutely touches my heart. Rock on, Brooks 🤟
Thank you for having him play that bridge part in Mattel. One of the best parts of the album and I couldnt figure out how he did it lol
Brooks Wackerman is humble drummer in a metal band ever. he is a great guy, what a personality and skill perfection
Brooks is one of the best drummers on the planet. He’s made AX7 better than they’ve ever been. I miss him in Bad Religion!
Him leaving Bad Religion was a big loss, he played a big part in the band finding their roots again. His drumming on "The Empire Strikes First" album is probably the most structured and detailed the band has had. Especially his cymbal details on that album is next level. Happy to see him crushing it with Avenged.
Him leaving Bad Religion was a big loss for them, their current drummer Jamie Miller is a pretty solid drummer tho, he does Brooks parts justice.
@@GregGallagher Yeah he's a solid drummer too. Saw them a few years ago with the new line up. He sounded great live.
Saw him play the first show with Infectious Grooves. He was just a kid but was shredding that punk/funk groove. Knew he'd be a big star.

Bad Religion was my first love of Brooks. Thanks Forever, I will never forget.
RIP Jimmy. Brooks is a great guy and is an amazingly drummer and his time with a7x has been a pleasure so far
Was front and centre for the show in Ottawa back in 2018 I believe? So amazing!!
Awesome video! Really hope you guys have Brooks back where he can showcase his chops on a full kit. The pads are really helpful for dissecting these parts, however they don't do his playing justice. Still a 10/10 video, thanks as always for the great content
Finally! Happy to see this. I know usually people gravitate towards lead singers and lead guitarists… but it’s so nice to learn about drummers too. You know? Every member is equally important.
Man you will love power station then. Look into their drummer (RIP).
Need him to get in the studio and do a first take listen drum along he will kill it I know it!!! Loved this and the tour was so good he killed it every night I saw!! 🔥🤘
Thank you guys !!!! you reminded me of 2 of my old favorite bands !
Bad Religion and Avanged Sevenfold
haven't been listening to them for years..
Awsome video !
Brooks in his drumming is so cool.. I'm glad watching him ...😁👍👍
Gave me more respect for him, glad to hear him giving so much credit to Jimmy and the fact that he was blown away by his work.
This is one of the most amazing videos for drummers I’ve ever watched. What a great breakdown with Brooks!
Can you please please for the love of Christ, get Brooks in the studio for a “first time” episode 🙏🏻. This man is a mad scientist and that kit is his lab!!! That had to be the hands down the sweetest pad performance. It was brilliantly effortless and immaculate and I’m such a sucker for the double kick 😵💫🤤 This was my Christmas!! 🎄🎁 and I’m not even a drummer just a girl who always had such respect and admiration for this truly masterful form of artistry. Thank you Brooks for an amazing episode and Thank you to Brandon and everyone at Drumeo . -ꨄ.
That dw practice kit is honestly such a lifesaver
Brooks is such a badass and awesome drummer! He both has great technique, finesse and groove/feel! Loved his work both with Bad Religion and A7X(Even though their latest album isn't really my cup of tea). Easily one of the best and most versatile drummers out there!
Total beast of a drummer.
Brooks's range and versatility as a drummer is insane
Brooks is awesome, can't wait to see what A7X do next, I love life is but a dream.
I just saw them in Vancouver BC in august and was one of my favourite shows ever seeming brooks for the 6 time live and was so happy when I found out you’ll be doing an episode with him such a humble man such a respectful person to be around and I thank you for this ❤️❤️ best Drumeo
Fuck yes! Stoked you guys got Brooks on here. Dude has done an incredible job in A7X. We're not an easy fan base to please but Brooks came in and played as himself while still being weird enough to fit the band.
dude is so chill and clean on the drumm... dammm loved the content
Hell yeah Drumeo! Thanks for getting Brooks on!
Gosh I remember him in Bad4Good. So cool to see him still going
This man could talk about his influences and his tour stories forever. Plz papa brooks.
Ohhhh yesss the drummer of A7X in the studio!! Thanks Drumeo for inviting Brooks Wackerman to the studio!!
Man that is so clean and very technical
please bring him back in the studio with the full kit! i definitely want more brooks content!
That is such a respectful and humble person., love it! Thank you Drumeo!
One of the most precision drummer of all time and technicly
