@@cleankiller9back then the sound was better in my opinion, the shows were out of control before they made sellout songs (I like chemical) but it’s not old TDWP or even close. Remembering the days of Plagues or even With Roots Above and Branches below.
The fact that he did this in their early days with a 3 peice setup is immensely impressive and classy from the standpoint of what is normal to hardcore drummers
That's a 4 piece and there a lot of good drummers that played metalcore/hardcore shit with 4 piece. But I agree he was one of the first I noticed doing it that I actually enjoyed
So how many of the bashers got as far as this band? You might not like his drumming, but he is on a stage with a band that has more than 10 years experience and 5-6 studio albums. I think that's an accomplishment and I also like his drumming.
I'm a drummer, and I want to tour, it's my biggest dream. But I cannot understand how this guy can do this everyday, stay on time with the band, and still put so much passion into playing. Maybe someday I'll be able to do this. Thanks for the inspiration Daniel. You're amazing-3
*That's what sponsors are for. "FREE" cymbals, and equipment. But, is that the REAL reason to why he left? Because they were "broke" and he was breaking a ton of cymbals....? Hmm. I don't know. I didn't even know he left. I haven't been keeping up with this "scene" in a minute. For some reason, I wanted to look up their live drumming videos, which is why I'm here.*
+Percius Mercius Hes a decent drummer but definitely not the best part of the band. Plus this was back when the band kinda werent all that great. Zombie (2010) was a major step up for them and for Dan's drumming.
+Percius Mercius You do know the best type of drummer is the drummer that follows the music and that's exactly what he was doing for this record. It's not a race to see who can blastbeat faster... With Roots Above is their best release to this day.
+Austin Childress I respect your opinion but With Roots Above, as fantastic as it is is nowhere close to being their best release.It was still scene and quite generic when it comes to instrumentals. 8:18 is definitely first on the list for me. This is really the album where they stepped up every single thing in the band, from the drums to the vocals. dead throne is 2nd. I think they are one of the few bands out that really gets better with each release.
+Percius Mercius You know what's funny about you saying this is cringe-worthy is the fact that this guy (even with his rather interesting technique and style) still would probably play this song better than you
I've seen these guys live a few times. They are the real deal. This guy on drums is sick. I have played in many bands with a drum set twice that size, and they can't get the job done like this guy. Nice.
I love the fact that he uses only what he needs, not some big ass fancy drum set that most players don't even fully use. Plus you can see him play a lot better and it looks killer from the audiences point of view.
@MrDraglet5 it has a louder sound to it considering its larger and therefore you can hear it better live since there's so much noise confind into such a little area so it just helps make the drums louder.
@PBronaldo it's basically an upside down little cymbal that replaces the ride bell for a more dingy and fuller ride bell sound. if you drum, make sure you pick one up.
Okay guys.. this is way back from 09! Come and see him play this year!! .. He is now so epic.. I didn't like him back then... but when the new EP is released .. everything changed.... Dan is so EPIC now...
I agree. It varies from artist to artist and how much exposure the band can give the company... Basically, the bigger the band, the bigger the discount.
I've been watching this video for like 3 years or so and I've learned that people always will be hating and talking shit about great bands or musicians.
EVERY DRUMMER BRINGS SOMETHING TO THE KIT MATT GREINER IS A BEAST ADAM GRAY IS A BEAST DANIEL WILLIAMS IS A BEAST MATT NICHOLLS IS A BEAST EVERY DRUMMER is unique remember that
Anyone know what kind of heads he uses in the studio. I'm only asking specifically about the studio because usually when on tour alot of drummers use whatever they can get their hands on. I see an Aquarian Cymbal spring on his China, so maybe aquarian...
11 years ago when this band meant a lot more to me.
Zombie 2 was great
Why doesn't it mean anything to you now?

@@hondakid9170 correct

It is sincere. That's why you like it. Ill take this over "perfect" any day.
His foot work has gotten so much better!

@@tightywhitey9779 a new type of allergic
My favorite drummer
Watching this and now remembering that he's no longer in the band as of yesterday :( fuck
I came here for the same reason
+MikeVoxGR same :(
Daniel Williams is my favorite drummer! i love his individual style as a drummer... basically that is what has gotten him this far no?
jason bitner 4 me.
this guy is one of my heros. one of the reasons i love to play drums :)
Love Daniel wish he was still in the band, so many people talking bad, but I’m sure his energy is all stage presence
WHY DID HE LEAVE????? WE NEED ANSWERS
He broke, 5x cymabsl per show, They went broke.

Trey Lockwood lol not that is not the real reason, or even a true fact.
you do realise sponsers pay for broken things right are you that dumb??????????
Chodda He was kicked out.
Is he actually CRASHING a 22" MB20 Heavy Bell Ride? That's crazy if he is
+drumd00d lol this was back when he wasn't good. He's probably using a byzance cymbals all over
Yep was a mb20 heavy ride back then mb20 China and 1 mb20 crash the rest byzance I remember asking him about it on myspace back in the day.
Daniel is improving a lot. It's amazing how much this band progresses with each album
I love the video's like this, especially the ones that Meinl posts, cause you hear the actual drum sound and not the sound on speakers!
Damn, he wasn't able to keep a steady beat here. Now a days he just rips!
Kim Filppu Sounded steady to me.
Ty Ty how do I find you everywhere
@@tyler4girlz he is just being a fuckstick
How can this guy have so many likes...
The little intro into the ending before it too, everything is so sick!!
Man comparing this to the newer drum videos ive seen, he has gotten so much better. amazing drummer
This is cringe-worthy

i was there and they were so amazing
I have that same bell. Awesome.

so much respect. this dude is playing his heart out for a whole fucking 10 song set.
wow i never thought he played like that and his set was like that. so beast!
I love watching him play. So sick
thanks
DAMN 2020.
DUDES AMAZING!!!
I love the fact that he uses only what he needs, not some big ass fancy drum set that most players don't even fully use. Plus you can see him play a lot better and it looks killer from the audiences point of view.
he is freaking sick!!! he rocks!!!
love his energy GO DAN!

Underrated like crazy

i love his style
completly agree with you , old metal is always a must !
GREATNESS!!!!
Oh my god, I was there!
Crazy show, saddles in the air, and big sweaty guy in front of me
it cant be easy not hearing the music
this my boyyyyyy!
this is my favorite drummer who makes everything that seems complicated. easy.
Hes goin nuts on that set
When warped tour was so ligt
it's exciting to play this song on the drums, it makes me siiiickkkkkkk
i love when he turns around and starts singing
@MrDraglet5 it has a louder sound to it considering its larger and therefore you can hear it better live since there's so much noise confind into such a little area so it just helps make the drums louder.
The good ol' days!
ooooh you're so different! how cool
best count off ever.
He gets an A+ for energy.
I was there, One of the craziest crowds ever
Amazing how you can recognize a song just by listening to the drums.
because his band are one of the top dogs in the genre they play
Wow 10 years ago.
my idol *_*
I love Daniel's drumming
Met him... actually met the whole band. :D
i love when he hits the sticks together after fills haha.
@PBronaldo it's basically an upside down little cymbal that replaces the ride bell for a more dingy and fuller ride bell sound. if you drum, make sure you pick one up.
hes beast yo
Okay guys.. this is way back from 09! Come and see him play this year!! .. He is now so epic.. I didn't like him back then... but when the new EP is released .. everything changed.... Dan is so EPIC now...
i like his involvement :)
mind you, this was in 2009, they have 2 new albums out. Daniel has become a much greater drummer.
I agree. It varies from artist to artist and how much exposure the band can give the company... Basically, the bigger the band, the bigger the discount.
Such a huge crash cymbal!
Bur it makes sense, it could be rode on as well. Awesome drummer. Awesome kit. Awesome band! TDWP!!!
Sassafras! Amazing!
that fool is amazing.
anyone know the exact cymbals he plays in 2011, heard em live and thought :o i got to get emm, also drum module and mics/trigger he uses?
why is he so amazing... lol
He beats the shit out of his kit like it owes him money hahahaha one of my favorite drummers.
anytime ;D
Crap he's really amazingly awsome at the drums!
Tearing dem drums up
Thumbs up this comment if you think he's an awesome drummer and the band is just awesome.
He has gotten better, he plays for a living now.
Fucking awesome.
this is my dream set up... just add a few splashes... just simple 4 piece
You could really tell that he's improved, live and in the studio
Is it just me or did he get 1000 times better when the zombie EP came out.
@Mp5Drummer Agreed, those were the first songs that came to mind, and there still pretty badass though
@Dylguy23 according to the Meinl site, it's an 8" classics bell
playing in a band like this must be the BEST thing to do for a lviing
i must say, he's gotten 100 times better.
when your rockin the fuck out like that and got adrenaline flowin you really dont feel smacking your knuckle on the rim much
holy shit
so many haters. Daniel is an amazing drummer
Does anyone know his cymbal setup?
Menil should list this in each artist video.
yew
anyone know the name of that kit? looks fucking amazing.
I've been watching this video for like 3 years or so and I've learned that people always will be hating and talking shit about great bands or musicians.
this is what it sounds like without mics on Dan's drum kit.. awesome
@crazydrummer452 ,yeah they are iron cobras.i dont know what kind they are though.
1:53 the crowd is instaclassic!
@ihatescreamobands i totally agree with you. btw whats the name of the saong their playing?
Reptar begging was AWESOME :D
@chochut13 I think he was using a 22"x20 or 24"x20 on this tour, not certain though. Definitely not a 20" diameter.
@Mp5Drummer certainly 1 of the best and thats a fact
