I know nothing about the band, but I play with my snare drum at the same angle, but a bit lower and further forward. The reason for me is that it allows me to have the snare in a low position so I can really lord over it. The tilt makes the stick impact more natural and comfortable- rather than coming down on a flat snare at a weird angle, for instance. It's hard to explain but basically, it's super comfy and looks cool as fuck.
@whospatrick mike's biggest drumming influence was from a jazz drummer names buddy rich. he's one of the greets drummers of all time. buddy was known for slightly tilting his snare forward. it's also all about comfort i till my snare forward cuz my arms are kind of long so it helps and feels more comfortable
@MaryDarkness100 Yeah, I didn't knew that all members were mexicans, Iam mexican and I'm proud of it. So I see it cool that this dudes show how they're proud to be mexicans, Also I was born the same day as Virgen Maria's Birthday. Thats why I see it so awezome that Mike uses a Lady Maria drum! I like em' more.
@dpocket360 OMAM's drummer does that too?? I started doing it cuz Mike's my hero, and it's actually working to my drumming style's advantage. I didn't know OMAM did that too tho.
@whospatrick because thats how he learned from his dad, plus thats the old school way of how to play a snare, hahaha i dont mean to give a drum lesson hahaha XD but the traditional way of holding a drum stick makes it hard to play a snare when its flat, so snare players (that had the harness on) played with the snare tilted forward to better fit the way they hold the drum stick, i hope that helped a little XD hahaha sorry for the long comment
See hes good Drummer not due to technicality cause he really simple.. but do to the fact his drumming fits and hes so into the groove he flows flawlessly
@whospatrick i have no idea. i thinks its just how he likes the snare to be like that cause some drummers dont like hitting the snare flat. alex lopez of suicide silence hits his snare super angled towards him idk tho
@papersailsTX Ever taken into consideration he's about 6 feet tall? Im 6'2 and sitting on a drum throne that's almost at the floor is rather uncomfortable. It's all about preferences , yea?
cymbal. a symbol is defined as a thing that represents or stands for something else, esp. a material object representing something abstract. a CYMBAL is well you get it. >.
i want more drum cam of mike fuentes. thumbs up if you agree.
I love how Mike puts soo much energy into his drumming. ♥
1:50 he went straight up super saiyan with the scream and everything
Mike is amazing he drums with all his heart and all his soul
@@yupnoise What. Is. Wrong. With. U
@@veronicazamora112he’s right
If you mute this video and play the actual song over it, it is probably the most amazing thing ever. Mike is amazing
i could literally just sit here and watch mike play drums all day long.
If only I could drum like Mike fuentes, it will only be then that the world will become a better place
Damn ...best drummer alive
Joey Jordison
@@nefast4 umm... he said alive
@@mkoha2472 When he commented that JJ wasn't dead. But if he's alive, Eloy Casagrande, he could be better than Joey.
his drumming skills are like more then a talent its a supper power!!
This video made me smile so hard, oh my god.
Mike Fuentes is always so energetic, damn he never gets tired I guess haha he's too good :)

This Is My NEW Favorite Drummer Like really I Wish I Was HIM!! D:

He moves so fast. Man why does he have to be all the way in the back? He's freaking amazing.
this video is gold
I like how he performs flawlessly and then drops his stick towards the end at 3:33.
@mosh404 Its a technique drummers use to keep their back straight...it helps me with my kicks and clean fills.
He's my inspiration !-3
He's so badass live!!
mike is a beast!!!
You can tell his passionate about drumming because of his epic faces
He puts so much into his drumming
The guys amazing!
I love This Guy He's Such A Beast Drummer.. better Then Most

The symbol work between 0:50 to 1:04 is unreal.
Cymbal
Just loving life
My King.

i love how he hugs the tom
I like mikes drum solo at the end
He is insanely good.
body goals: tall, skinny as fuck, tatted up
I'm not gonna think of something clever, so here's the simplest thing to write: One person doesn't recognize true talent and greatness.
This is crazeyyyyy
hes sofuckign good please bring him back this tour didnt feel right without him 💔
FRRR
hell fucking yes.
@MaryDarkness100 Yeah, I didn't knew that all members were mexicans, Iam mexican and I'm proud of it.

He screams. fucking amazing drummer mike (:
@heckawesomefunnydude those are just the part of the cymbal stands that adjust the angle/height of the stand.
He's sitting almost at the edge of his throne.
the cymbal work just killed me.
@whospatrick It's so all of his snare hits are rim shots. I used to play like that but it started breaking sticks a lot faster than usual. Haha.
@whospatrick Its in a traditional jazz set up, pretty pretty nifty lol.
esto si es pegarle con huevos a la bataca
@whospatrick i heard on a video somewhere that he got that from his inspiration Buddy Rich.
its pretty cool though
@vic7oor well yes it's the same one we all know it's just that she is more known as Lady Of Galupe
this video makes me want to become a drummer
This is yeah boy and doll face
@whospatrick he uses a lot of ringhits!! so thats why he use the snare like that
@whospatrick i think its cause Mike is so tall...and he's a fuckin beast so he yea!
@dpocket360 OMAM's drummer does that too?? I started doing it cuz Mike's my hero, and it's actually working to my drumming style's advantage. I didn't know OMAM did that too tho.

@HookMaster3000 holy shit i just noticed that... yeah it is i think, it would match the rest of their equipment
@whospatrick lol yeah he has his snare Tilted becuz i think they said cuz he is hella tall he like 6"3 so yea but he is awsum on the kit
@thatradkidkati Thats most likely why he's got the snare angle then.
@whospatrick he is comfortable like that
i guess he finds it his best spot.
i tried it once its pretty comfy haha so thats y new snare spot
@schecter68 Mike uses Vater 5B :)
Are there anymore videos of him drumming this concert other than the Sky Under the Sea video? He's tooooo sick.
@jellyteddybear Is the same.. "maria" Is the first name. I was born 12 december, virgen de guadalupe day's so.
@whospatrick im not sure, probably just for comfort and perfect rim shots.
its pretty weird though lol.
@rushpiedude Would you happen to know his Truth drum sizes?
My Influence
why cant i have his skill Dx i would kill for his drum set
See hes good Drummer not due to technicality cause he really simple.. but do to the fact his drumming fits and hes so into the groove he flows flawlessly
Seriously he is the best drummer, that's just my opinion.
he's fucking insane!
@whospatrick i have no idea. i thinks its just how he likes the snare to be like that cause some drummers dont like hitting the snare flat. alex lopez of suicide silence hits his snare super angled towards him idk tho
Will someone please tell me his cymbal sizes and what kind of TRX cymbals they are?!
Mike comes alive when hes on the drums
@thatradkidkati I honestly don't see much of Buddy rich in his playing, but its definitely a great idol.
@vic7oor yes they re Proud of being Mexica American's BUT that's La Virgen De Guadalupe :D
@papersailsTX Ever taken into consideration he's about 6 feet tall? Im 6'2 and sitting on a drum throne that's almost at the floor is rather uncomfortable. It's all about preferences , yea?
i two stepped so hard to these guys
Holy cymbal work @ 0:50
cymbal. a symbol is defined as a thing that represents or stands for something else, esp. a material object representing something abstract. a CYMBAL is well you get it. >.
actually makes my hairs stand on end.
Come at me Punk rock!!
@IdrisMirza :') he is one talented man!
Anyone know his kit dimensions? I'd love to play a replica kit of this shit!
@lBlakeBailey You should tell me what stick size it was, is it 5A or 5B?
@preggoeggo69 Its actually because it gives you a more natural hit instead of hitting straight.
alot of people tilt their snares forward so they can hit rim shots easier. Rim shot's are better on your head. at least thts why i do it.
@vic7oor Yeah they are very proud of it:) And im mexican too :)
Whats that black thing pointing down on all of his cymbal stands?
@soulslayerBLAST yeah i know jazz drummers played like that :D
nice right by santa paula
sick
@Maaddy369, I just done it! and it was pretty epic xD
How the hell does he have is snare on that angle!?
@whospatrick Maybe he's a Buddy Rich fan.
@trippythetripster Rim shots, and it's also easier to play rolls, plus its ergonomically correct :D
dude how did you get to record this? you have an access pass??
@whospatrick It's much easier for Rim shots, Its a cool technique but hard to pick up easily.
