DFA 1979 is so underrated

[@drumrundown]

Well, not on this channel! LOL They are one of the highest rated!

[@premierguitar]

This episode was a complete treat to watch! These two cats make enough beautiful noise for a 6-piece band!

[@aylamave]

Love how honest and humble he is.

[@LordAlwyn]

Such an underrated band! Incredible live show

[@drumrundown]

Absolute rippers!

[@Codycreek]

Yo I had no idea about this band until I saw this and listened to some of their shit and damn their stuff is straight 🔥🔥🔥

[@akp42079]

Knowing Seb got a kit from my hometown makes me smile 😁😁💜🐼

[@Rockinroomsrob]

I love concert toms too...they sound ace to me, i think I'm sticking with them forever now.

[@drumrundown]

SAME. like, FOREVER. ⚡️🤘⚡️

[@camwilson8305]

Seen them 4 times and it gets better and better and better and better

[@akp42079]

Love this!!! So much talent!!

[@dennjeschka1698]

I feel like it's actually refreshing watching Sebastien talking about his gear. Usually, you would see Jesse talking about his gear and his bass etc. The drum sound and Sebastien's contribution to the band is in fact very underrated in my opinion.

[@drumrundown]

I feel like the drums are such a driving force, makes it impossible to not dance to!

[@davesniad]

I was fortunate enough to see DFA, Autumn 2023. They sounded absolutely amazing. So fun. Great video!

[@drumrundown]

⚡️🤘⚡️

[@overlordzathra]

Best band

[@drumrundown]

🔥🔥🔥

[@ipposaur]

agreed, they've been my absolute fav for over 15 years

[@addiesann]

Just seen them in Durham in SEP. unbelievable show. Best live show I’ve ever been to.

[@victorserg1n]

Nice!! Waited this for years 🤣👌🏻

[@drumrundown]

More than happy to deliver! ⚡️🦾⚡️

[@bdubzdrumz]

What wasn’t mentioned that I thought was quite odd is that he is using the AXIS A21 Laser/wideboard double pedal??? I would’ve never guessed that he would use those in a million years. They are great, light, fast and still pack a punch. For a guy who says he’s not super into gear I found this Interesting to say the least, would’ve expected DW 5000 or similar

[@drumrundown]

we spoke about it a bit off camera, he said he mostly likes it for the wide footboard! He is, as self described, not fussy about gear!

[@boobnightengale1098]

The kick dimension is x8 as all super flyer lengths

[@CaptainBlueSam]

Wasn't expecting to see Axis pedals on there!

[@drumrundown]

So sexy.

[@evanmatthiesen7478]

Ive got that snare, love it so much! works for everything

[@drumrundown]

I love the dead vibe set up!

[@tylercattproducer9583]

yes, you did achieve it dude

[@rippindrummer666]

First heard these guys when romantic rights was at the end credits of Team Sanchez on Mtv2…also the performance on Conan where Sebastian let max weinberg rip the drums at the end of romantic rights lol

[@drumrundown]

EPIC!

[@rippindrummer666]

@@drumrundown this blew away my 14 year old mind lol th-cam.com/video/7fncvQQ7kEE/w-d-xo.htmlsi=LZfLYXl9imSY51yW

[@DirtySk8RatStaney]

OMG i love his drum sound!!… this is a really cool kit, and it’s got me thinking I need a small “electronic” sounding kit…

[@drumrundown]

I went to the studio to record right after this rundown, and definitely got a bunch of quesadillas for a dead kit sound. DFA drum tones are the best!

[@nextsteppmedia]

Where’s the cymbal sizes in description? Awesome interview!

[@FishingforFisher]

They mention them in the video:
14" Hi-Hats
22" ride
18" crash

[@NateThunder]

Sebastian is such a killer drummer and vocalist

[@drumrundown]

The most infectious dancey grooves!⚡️🖤⚡️

[@the6ig6adwolf]

Hopefully, Buckets will be featured in a drum rundown video soon?

[@drumrundown]

That would be an absolute honor.

[@kat...........ffs777]

[@koringa666]

need more COWBELL

[@drumrundown]

ALWAYS.

[@johannjohann6523]

Uh, you sure this guy can actually play drums? You do realize "Dance Punk" is an Oxymoron? I'm sure John Lydon would agree.
