Your drum parts are so incredibly inspired; technical and interesting yet serving the song perfectly without any unnecessary fluff. Can't wait for LP7!
@@PelleLolWut Hate people who want to "serve the song" (most of the time that just means put the drums in the background) but not provide technically or anything interesting. Kyle instead delivers.
I could watch you drum all day (in a non creepy way). The last show I went to before Covid was Counterparts in Southampton, England. Can't wait to see you guys back over here :)
I'm clinging to the wings of nightmares Detaching every finger one by one Shaken awake to find our absence hasn't manifested yet Longing for a sense of loss Picking me apart like birds of prey Where illusions will depart from unhinged jaws Silent in the presence of your name Rip the memory from my mind Perfectly still but somehow running out of time Keep your distance From the flowers that will decorate my corpse Undeserving of a chance to watch them thrive Remove the sickness Before it has a chance to run its course I knew we'd never make it out alive Clairvoyant only to delusion As you salvage fantasy to fit your needs You held my lifeless body to your heart And convinced yourself that could feel a pulse (Laying traps beneath my feet) (I will chew through to the bone in my desire to be free) Rip the memory from my mind Perfectly still but somehow running out of time Keep your distance From the flowers that will decorate my corpse Undeserving of a chance to watch them thrive Remove the sickness Before it has a chance to run its course I knew we'd never make it out alive Your shadow will keep me blinded by the light living in lies Allowing fallen petals to turn black Reflecting the colour of your insides Rip the memory from my mind Hold my lifeless body to your heart And convince yourself that you still feel a pulse Rip the memory from my mind Perfectly still but somehow running out of time
Love how cleanly you play the kit. Doing those fills and all the fancy bells and whistles looks so effortless for you. Genuinely one of my favorite drummers ever, bro. Keep kicking ass. 🤘
@@fuckmylife4403 Ohh, I see what you mean. I actually wasn't meaning the sound quality sounds clean. It does though. But I was more meaning how clean he plays, dude is just right in the pocket every time he plays.
I haven't watched your videos since 2009, but I'm glad this popped up in my subscription feed. This is absolutely insane, and your drumming has always been dope af.
So clean. Your drumming is nuts. Seen you guys a few times now with you in the band and you never disappoint. Love all the little finesse things you do on your fills too. Really inspiring!
All I can think of to describe your writing and execution is goddamn perfection. Listening to the parts is one thing but actually seeing you do it is unfathomably insane
i've been here since the rockband waking the demon drums expert era, and seeing that you've come this far brings joy to my heart! awesome playthrough bro!
bro.. its crazy you were my favorite rock band TH-cam drummer when I played drums on rock band. finding counterparts in the summer of 2021, loving nothing left to love. getting your drum library because god damn it rips and now finding out YOU were Blindzor. dude you are amazing. this is an amazing coincidence. keep it. your drum tones are fucking perfect and i love it.
First time I see you play, even though not my cup of tea ( it's rather extreme metal), I really enjoy your playing. I think your parts are quite unique
Extreme metal lol. This is melodic hardcore. And the best melodic hardcore that there is. Respect this man, and the band he plays for. MELODIC HARDCORE.
@@kalebspain3000 nah. I meant that my cup of tea is rather extremer metal. Not that Counterparts is extreme metal. Should have make that a bit clearer. More clear. Whatever.
Me and my bestfriend started watching your videos when you did the Silent War cover, that’s crazy!!! We still thinking that you are the best drummer in the world
One the best drummers in one of the best bands in the world right here. Hope to see many more great things outta these guys. Ever since I I downloaded Prophets on limewire in 2010 I knew these guys would do amazing things and they have. So much magic from this Band. Im so happy to see that our guy Kyle is the drummer for them.
me @ 0:59 singing out loud the chorus: "Keep your distance from the flowers that will decorate my corpse... Undeserving of a chance to watch them thrive."🤘
Bro…. I started watching your rock band videos years ago and haven’t seen blindz0r video in a looong time. All that said you became an incredibly talented musician and I’m glad to see your made your passion a career
I will stole your drum fills.... Jokes aside, this obviously turns a great influence to me create my own fills, great video, excited for the next ones.

My thoughts exactly!
👌

@@batman-sr2px let’s play a funk beat on a hardcore punk song as to not serve the song!
Saw Counterparts open up for Parkway Drive some years back, Kyle is the real deal. Awesome set and hell of a show
Look at that subtle off-white coloring. The tasteful thickness of it. Oh my God, it even has a watermark...
Huh lol
@@jordanwendell6279reference to American Psycho
🙏 Most underrated comment 🙏
13 years ago I was watching your 100% FC AND GS on RB2 This Calling from ATR
The peak of melodic hardcore
My favorite drummer ripping it the fuck up. Last time I saw them was in 2019 and Kyle played flawlessly omfg such a treat to see haha
I could watch you drum all day (in a non creepy way). The last show I went to before Covid was Counterparts in Southampton, England. Can't wait to see you guys back over here :)
My favourite example of “just play the real drums bro”. From blindzor to a god on the kit, love seeing you still smash it man 🤙
Damn Kyle this playthrough is so sick. Currently learning WON myself and this is gonna be helpful!!
cover? he wrote this song lmao
@@drumlessenamsterdam playthrough my bad
I'm clinging to the wings of nightmares
Detaching every finger one by one
Shaken awake to find our absence hasn't manifested yet
Longing for a sense of loss
Picking me apart like birds of prey
Where illusions will depart from unhinged jaws
Silent in the presence of your name
Rip the memory from my mind
Perfectly still but somehow running out of time
Keep your distance
From the flowers that will decorate my corpse
Undeserving of a chance to watch them thrive
Remove the sickness
Before it has a chance to run its course
I knew we'd never make it out alive
Clairvoyant only to delusion
As you salvage fantasy to fit your needs
You held my lifeless body to your heart
And convinced yourself that could feel a pulse
(Laying traps beneath my feet)
(I will chew through to the bone in my desire to be free)
Rip the memory from my mind
Perfectly still but somehow running out of time
Keep your distance
From the flowers that will decorate my corpse
Undeserving of a chance to watch them thrive
Remove the sickness
Before it has a chance to run its course
I knew we'd never make it out alive
Your shadow will keep me blinded by the light living in lies
Allowing fallen petals to turn black
Reflecting the colour of your insides
Rip the memory from my mind
Hold my lifeless body to your heart
And convince yourself that you still feel a pulse
Rip the memory from my mind
Perfectly still but somehow running out of time
Love how cleanly you play the kit. Doing those fills and all the fancy bells and whistles looks so effortless for you. Genuinely one of my favorite drummers ever, bro. Keep kicking ass. 🤘
its called mix and post production
@@fuckmylife4403 I'm just talking about his finesse on the drums. Not the production or anything like that, man
@@Infurno924 i know but the clean sound is there due to the mix and post production
@@fuckmylife4403 Ohh, I see what you mean. I actually wasn't meaning the sound quality sounds clean. It does though. But I was more meaning how clean he plays, dude is just right in the pocket every time he plays.
@@Infurno924 yeah, hes a beast
So much emotion in this playing...
I haven't watched your videos since 2009, but I'm glad this popped up in my subscription feed. This is absolutely insane, and your drumming has always been dope af.
Thanks for using my cover Kyle! Killer playthrough!
thank YOU
That 8bit cover is so sick . 🔥
@@siorai1 Thanks man
This is the one I’ve been waiting for. So epic dude!
I just watched this 4 times in a row. Unreal.
One of my favorite counterparts songs on my Playlist. Sick playthrough!
Impeccable and absolutely brutal as usual!
Love how you added in the blooper
its easy to listen to counterparts and appreciate how good their guitar work is but damn this drumming is something special.
So clean. Your drumming is nuts. Seen you guys a few times now with you in the band and you never disappoint. Love all the little finesse things you do on your fills too. Really inspiring!
Always loved watching how Kyle plays. and man that drum kit sounds amazing ahhhhhhh
All I can think of to describe your writing and execution is goddamn perfection. Listening to the parts is one thing but actually seeing you do it is unfathomably insane
so thankful for the 8bit!.. killing it as always!!
i've been here since the rockband waking the demon drums expert era, and seeing that you've come this far brings joy to my heart! awesome playthrough bro!
Such a consistently tight drummer its insane
Such a beast on the kit! Easily one of my favorite drummers! Keep the vids coming Kyle!

Fuckin awesome playing man!!!! Well done. The drums pounding along like a guitar make this playthrough so sick. Keep it coming, please!!
God, you're fucking talented, Kyle. Miss watching you drum already, so this is a great fucking treat to get to see!!!
That moment where you’re really feeling the grove annnnnnnnnd your drumstick happens to fly out of your hand 😂 #drummerproblems
These drums couldn't have been written more perfectly to suit this song! Insane skill
Kyle the best in the business love you man thanks for sharing
Maybe one of the best drum takes I’ve ever seen 😵🤘🏻🤯🤘🏻
Damn dude, that mix is so tight as well!
Saw you in Adelaide with Northlane. Was serious blown away by how tight you are. Big fan now.
I remember when he was just a rock band drummer. I watched all of his videos back in the day
bro.. its crazy you were my favorite rock band TH-cam drummer when I played drums on rock band. finding counterparts in the summer of 2021, loving nothing left to love. getting your drum library because god damn it rips and now finding out YOU were Blindzor. dude you are amazing. this is an amazing coincidence. keep it. your drum tones are fucking perfect and i love it.
SO CRISP! Awesome vid Kyle!
Crushed it! Love your playing style and technicality. The recording is fantastic. Can't wait to see the next videos.
this is so much fun to watch, love it.
you're also kinda good looking ngl, just like the counterparts drummer
Please do Your Own Knife/Cherished/Ocean of Another!!! Your style is impeccable.
Wish we could get play throughs of the whole album lol
@@cgrind3000 I'm saying!!
I've known you all the way since the rock band 2 days. Glad to see you're still killin it on the drums
I love you tastefully busy you are. Top tier!!
best song of the album, essentially getting an official instrumental version right there
Outstanding drumming! Not one note or beat wasted, insane!
A masterclass in metalcore drumming. Kyle rules, new album is already goated
you can hear Napoleon in those melodies 🤘🏻
Absolute monster behind the kit
BEST MODERN HARDCORE/METALCORE DRUMMER. HANDS DOWN.
First time I see you play, even though not my cup of tea ( it's rather extreme metal), I really enjoy your playing. I think your parts are quite unique
Extreme metal lol. This is melodic hardcore. And the best melodic hardcore that there is. Respect this man, and the band he plays for.
MELODIC HARDCORE.
@@kalebspain3000 nah. I meant that my cup of tea is rather extremer metal. Not that Counterparts is extreme metal.
Should have make that a bit clearer.
More clear.
Whatever.
Nice man :) I like that you put in the outtake too, nice and humble

Love how you added that dude who did the album in 8bit!
LEGEND!
Your playthrough sounds better than the actual album! So good!
I love this guy❤
Here it is. Finally
as always. friking amazing man!!!!!!!!!!
One of the best mixes i've ever heard, amazing work
are there any samples at all? it sounds so real!
Very familiar snare sound; I believe that’s the same one that Zac Farro used on Paramore’s “Riot!”
Bro…. I started watching your rock band videos years ago and haven’t seen blindz0r video in a looong time. All that said you became an incredibly talented musician and I’m glad to see your made your passion a career
So clean
Sounds so good 🤯

My favourite drummer

Top tier!
I keep coming back to watch this playthrough! Kinda long overdue for a new one, huh haha ;) ?
Serious low end in that 8 snare sheesh
Sick drummer surprise
I just wondered how much Ingested shirt (with that design) that Kyle has. Everytime I watched Kyle's video, I saw him wearing this exact shirt lol.
Great drumming, any reason you dont like the extra tom or a splash? looking to get my next kit soon
Best in the game. so gd clean
Very clean,, 👍👍🤘🤘🤘
amazing
Amazing sound 🙏🙏🤭
Brutal
Fuckin top tier playing and a sick ingested shirt.
I need an entire 8bit version of the album! Don't @ me.
It exists! Search nothing left to love 8bit on youtube by Ghosty
The bags under your eyes… that’s how you know he’s puttin in that work all the time 💪
