#Drumeo #Mastodon #BrannDailor
It’s always endlessly impressive how he drums like a beast and sings WHILE doing it. Easily my favorite drummer
I know right? I'm a hobby drummer, trying to learn how to count to 4 whilst playing! It's not going very well!
@@pttroe8142 Keep at it! You'll find that once you learn the count, a large majority of songs are played in a 4 count making learning them a lot easier!
When is 4 Halfling Barbarians - Part 4 coming out!?
Was just going to make that same comment. It's crazy how hard he plays and he somehow has the stamina to sing with power.
Glad to see you enjoy good music Okoii! Love your stuff :)
Man, how is it that he can do all of this? It’s awe inspiring. These drumeo vids have opened up my appreciation of Mastodon to a whole new level. Thank you!!
Saw them last summer, his vocals blow me away. He would drop in on “more than I could chew” and he had so much power and he just killed it. The end of that song is amazing, I just stood in awe
Yeah I agree didn’t ever know he was a singing drummer till drumeo dude is a badass!!
Criminally underrated drummer AND singer.
defo one of the nice qualities of Brann besides his drum lines.. its so hard play drums and sing!
Most people who like metal know brann. He’s perfectly rated imo, go watch his stuff with his old band lethargy, he was even a beast in the early 90s
"criminal" lol
@@rippindrummer666 I love Lethargy and Arcadea, and the album he recorded with Today is the day together with Bill is another lesson in technique and brutality.
And about him being correctly rated, I really don't agree, if you look at most of drum channels it's always about Slipknot. Don't get me wrong, I love Joey Jordison and every drummer who played with them but it's like that was no drummer after him you know?
And when I say Brann is underrated I could also mention a few names of modern drummers that suffer with that too, one name that comes to my mind now is Chris Adler.
It's not that is a competition running for who's best, but there is life after Jordison you know.
by who? that's funny
I'm happy that Drumeo got so big that they can do something like this❤
Yeah, killer content lately !!!!
Brann is so incredibly creative and easy going drummer that one can't help but to be inspired by him every time.
Those ghost notes are one of the things that make Mastodon a special band imo.
I Love mastodon. Not all their songs are for me but its guaranteed every album has a track I love to death. This is definitely one of those songs.
This is me . Love Motherload, this one not as much, lol.
Good song forsure, I really love most of this album but roots remain is the song I love above the rest, that song is incredible, amazing riffs/drums/vocals/lyrics and then maybe Brent’s best solo ever
@@williamboyle8918 motherload was from the album before this one once more around the sun while steambreather is off emperor of sand
@@puppetmaster8551Me too. Roots Remain gets me on a level I can‘t explain.
@@ThomasMangold-il9sh ya man that song is truly magical, everything about that song is amazing and it’s got alot of emotion to it because of the subject matter and Brent’s solo is just absolutely loaded with emotion
The tom sound on this video is absolutely nuts!!!
Makin me want some clear batters
Tama baby!
I arrived late to the Mastodon train, but jesus, I am so glad I discovered this band. Everybody in this band is a beast bu Brann is a monster, singing AND drumming is not easy at all, also, his kit reminds me of a modern rendition of Nicko from Iron Maiden.
He drums, he sings, he's so charming and fun... keep bringing him back!
They filmed a ton of videos already. Just slowly milking them
Haunted hands
Say hi to the ride
Stealing those phrases. Awesome vid!
Some morning Brann to keep me regular
The breakdown of Brann's thinking through the grooves, how they connect, and how the song was written adds SO MUCH to the performance portion. As much as I love watching drummers play, it's so valuable when creators talk about the craft too. Brann is a legend and I'm so glad you folks got together with him to do these. Thank you so much.
Amazing how he can have super busy drum parts that fit the song so well! (And great to have a LOT of action in the drums 😎)
Brann is too good. I remember first hearing Mastodon. My introduction was "More than I could chew". I loved the crushing guitars and the pummeling drums. But when I found out Brann was also singing I was just in awe. Dude is super talented. Such an all around great band!!
Brann bro please ( and drumeo ) make more videos like this. you have the most unique sound , you ispire us so fcking much and its about time for more people to listen this guys closer. We are with you guys all day long
They filmed a ton of stuff
Brann Is Awesome , To Drum And Sing In Progression Is Quite Extraordinary , Drumming And Sounding That Amazing ... Is Remarkably Awesome !!!! MASTODON GREAT DRUMMER , GREAT BAND !!!!!!
Love Brann so damn much! Anytime I check CZcams, I’m just hoping to see the blue circle notification from Drumeo and have it be another Brann video.
Same 😊
Brann should do a synopsis & performance of more than i can chew, love love love that track
I've never met Brann but he is easily one of my favorite people, ever.
People who do meet him always say he’s super nice and just a really cool friendly dude
@puppetmaster8551 yep met him in Asheville. All the guys were cool but Brann was just tons of energy and happy to chat with anyone.
it seems the whole band is like that just great dudes
@@vincents9620 Brent is a wildcard and has had some not great moments but overall usually seems like a cool chill dude and the other 3 are incredibly nice guys
Wow! I’m a 68 yo metal/industrial head (and bassist) who never really got that deep into Mastodon… but watching this, I was blown away by Brann’s drumming!!… and the song!! Will have to check out the album! Thanks Drumeo for expanding an already (over) expanded brain!! Great sh!t…
Emperor of Sand is a fantastic album, so much emotion, great riffs, solo's and also vocally a big step up from all singers. If you dig this one, definitely also check out the newest album Hushed and Grim! Big ass double album with amazing songwriting.
If you appreciate hardcore rock/metal, you might get into their very first albums. For me, it is when from Crack the Sky and everything else after. If you want to hear a very wierd but fantastic tune : The Last Baron!
Please do, it is an amazing album with a fantastic finish and a very touching story to it
I would do almost anything to be able to hear Mastodons music again for the first time. Don't waste your opportunity!
Their discography is flawless. You're in for a fantastic ride. If you smoke weed, do that first, then work your way backwards through the discography so you'll appreciate how much they grew over their career
I could listen to Brann talk about music literally all day - he articulates his thoughts in a way that I've never heard before. It's unreal.
Never really listened to them very much but that track is awesome and watching him sing while playing it was pretty cool. Gonna have to check more of their stuff out.
Check out Crack The Skye...
The Last Baron (on that album) is something else!
I have been waiting for Brann to be here! I need more!
ABSOLUTELY LEGENDARY!!!! Brann absolutely KILLS it on the drums. So much energy, creativity, and power on the drums... and then epic vocals on top. This is so cool.
One of my favorite songs, one of my favorite drummers. Watch his left hand constantly ghost tapping the snare, it's crazy.
One of the best doing it! His voice has gotten better and better too! Love some Brann and Mastodon!
Eloy and Brann - my favorite modern drummers!
Thanks Drumeo!!
This has always been my favorite off EOS and one of all time favorites by Mastodon, I didn't realize how much Brann sang on this track, incredible!
I grew up listening to Mastodon and never knew the "change in vocal style" after the first few albums was because the drummer started taking over singing! I was always impressed with Brann's drumming, and to sing on top of that is so incredible.
They all sing now days/ for years.
@@dalekay9inebill doesn't sing. Ever.
@@dylanhoward718he used to at least do some backing growls on mother puncher
@@dylanhoward718 ok, everyone but Bill sings. Better?
I only properly got into masterton a couple of years ago but I'm absolutely hooked... Love Brann, he's easily one of my favourites. Love is unique style and of course is singing.. I also really like the fact that he doesn't completely overuse the double bass the 99% of metal drummers
absolutely love drummers who sing cause thats like maximum multi tasking
Totally love how he utilize the fills, even though it's mostly singles, it doesn't feel overused or bland in any song.
The dude seems to have built a career off of snare singles, but it works. It's fast and energetic, and the pop of the snare contrasts nicely with the sludgy guitar tones. It's honestly refreshing to hear a more modern metal drummer that doesn't rely on double pedals too much.
An honour to watch you play. Thanks man!
That drum kit looks killer!!!
this is actually one of my favorite songs of Mastodon and albums... Mastodon ages fine like good whisky
One of the “busiest”drummers I know of and I mean that in the most positive way as humanly possible.
It's so refreshing to hear someone else say they need lyric reminders while performing.
Amazing! Anyone who can drum and sing at the same time are insanely talented 🤟
Brilliant performance by Brann, love this track
I love this man. More than I should, haha. He's just too real and likeable. And that talent he's packing too...damn.
Always been aware of Mastodon, just never really listened properly, but man, this opened my eyes to this guys talents and the power of the band.
You are the best Brann Dailor!!!
Superb song. The solo is great on record but live... it's legendary.
Brann is an absolute monster on the drums and vocals. One of the greats!
Can we please get Abe Cunningham?! Thanks!
Damnnnnm yessss pleaseeee 🖤❤️🙏🏿
Been waiting a while to see drumeo to get brann on
This is probably the most worn-out song in my Mastodon catalogue. I've never gotten tired of hearing it.
Creative drummer's drummer drumming but also carrying lead vocals. Bran is such a treasure. I hope he comes in for learn a song / improv a song.
Branns voice is just hypnotic. He adds a cosmic mystique to their songs. That's why I love mastodon, especially their later stuff, because they're so cosmically infused.
The level of talent....🏆🍀🏆 Thank you Drumeo for the new video ❤
I saw them live in October 2017 and Brann was truly an octopus behind the kit. Beyond impressive.
Uhhh those those notes after the first chorus??? Beautiful
I have no idea how he plays the drums like that and sings. Some people have some crazy talent
lots of practice? (and skill)
@@MissyMuthaTruckiNBruce Lee says you only become a master of something by doing it 10,000 times. Skill is a result of your dedication to practice.
Brann has the best fills in rock drumming.
Brann is one of a kind! Would be sick to hear him without the backing track too
Masatadon is criminally underated
My favorite drummer and biggest influence on my drumming and song writing! 👏👏👏
Awesome. Brann is such a busy drummer. I love it.
please release the rest of his session asap
wow, awesome video, love the behind-the-scenes explanation of his drumming. Got to see these guys live last year and it was one of my favorite concerts I’ve ever been to.
Brann is my favorite drummer. He's so humble and crazy talented. Never heard a bad word about him. Brent on the other hand . . . lol
As someone who admires Mastodon and seen em twice, I really appreciate this song breakdown. Shout out to Drumeo
Brann and Mike Portnoy are among my favorite 'fill' drummers. Effortless and smooth!
Another one for my workout playlist. Love it.
I love this song so much!! And at 4:12 where he shows the snare roll and the kicks its so cool how at 4:20 it ramps up!! It builds the tension so well!!🤘🤘🤘🤘
I've only seen mastadon once live. Incredibly impressive how tight they are.
Brent must've been sober?....... 😂
@@chilly6470 maybe I wasn't so it evened out? Is he known for being too drunk?
@@ottomattix86....... Look him up playing at a school. So funny!
@@chilly6470Brents pretty well put together now on tours.
@@chilly6470that was like 15 years ago
Video 72 of commenting until Drumeo makes a "Best Rudimental Drummer of the Year" award category
Can't wait for that snare to be released!
Sure, there's drummers that can play perhaps more complicated things in terms of polyrhythms or super fast intricate drum parts, but no one keeps me as entertained as Brann. He drums exactly how I hear the drums. So fun, so tasteful, so perfect, and such an inspiration.
Yeah I love mastodon
Brann is such an incredible drummer and also such a kind and funny person.
A true masterpiece. Very well done sir and much appreciated. Just unbelievably good.
Most used phrase in drumeo comments about drummers is: he/she is a BEAST :)))
This time, it’s THE BEAST
@@julienb9961 True!
One of my absolute favorite Mastodon songs! 🙌🏻🤘🏻
Te amo Brann, gracias por tanto
What a multi-talented guy, Brann, is!!!
One of my favorite Mastodon songs. Bran always kills it 🔥
Ok, but what did he think of Domino absolutely killing it when she heard this drumless?!
That's what I want to know! I want a Brann Reacts to Domino plays lol Please Drumeo!!
YESSSSS she killed it and I loved that
iirc he posted on his instagram story the day that it came out that he loved it
@@jeremy7383 YEEESSSS! I was expecting it!
One of my all time favorite drummers. So underrated honestly.
this dude is just pure class.. love his playing and his general demeanour
There’s something about the intro to this song that gets me absolutely PUMPED!! Wow, what a talented guy and band as a whole. Great vid!
I'm in love with this kit. That paint job is 🔥🔥
Incredible. Technically impressive and grooves like hell!
This is majorly awesome.
Thank you, fellas.
Running outside the nazca lines .. "PERU" I love the way you bring a little part of peru in this song thanks 😊
YES !! One of my favorite song from Mastodon
One of my favorite mastodon songs!!!
Saw them in Florida a couple of years agp, they were great.
Best drummer and best singer 👊🏻😌 Gotta love the few slips while he sings makes the song feels more authentic
He's just so fucking good, so is mastodon. Underrated.
Just recently learned this for guitar. Tis a fun one.
Genius! he is an inspiration and Mastodon one of the best bands ever!!
Such a good track. Great to see it broken down.
This song is such a banger. Ya it's not super heavy, but it's really groovy. Love this one. And I'll add that Brann's singles have so much texture and feel. So many little accents that give a ron of flavor. As opposed to just playing them straight.
My favourite band and drummer. Hes incredibly good !
I don’t think he realizes how good of a drummer he is. Absolutely incredible.
Grt vid drumeo. Thank u. And that kit looks killer, and sounds like it looks. And t china...smokin'!
Love this guy lol. I forget the lyrics all the time and i wrote them
Thank you!
