Can you guys get Ronnie Vannucci in an episode?!
But they literally use drum triggers which have to be timed to a click
@@suburbanindie most of the samples are no longer than a few seconds long so we have to listen and adjust our tempos as we play. It’s a great feeling when you nail it though.
Ben comes across so well, you can tell that he's just a guy living his best life playing drums for the fun of it. No wanky pretentiousness from it, just a guy and his best mate playing music with a bonus of getting paid.
It's funny, I was thinking the exact opposite
The singer on the other hand
Correct❤
No pretentiousness….sat there wearing sun glasses indoors. Joke of a band.
i didn't get that at all...
I used to play their entire first album as a drum warmup. I know those songs backwards and forwards. They're not hard, they're high-energy, and they're simply a blast to play. I always describe the first album as a soundtrack to the longest bar fight in human history. It's so bad ass.
Me and my brother always say 'It's like someone shitting in your ears in a good way'
Royal Blood are insanely good for a two piece. Glad Ben Thatcher is getting the recognition he deserves!
I’ve been listening to Royal Blood for years and finally saw them live the past Friday. Seeing them live solidified everything I liked about them. Fan for life now. They absolutely killed it 🪓
I can't believe it I had no idea HE was the one triggering the backing vocals and percussion/synth parts. Just makes them more badass!
"We don't play to a click and we don't play to any tracks"
LOVE IT!
They are so tight live.
@Lance37a Two best friends who enjoy playing music together. It's a great feeling
Was so happily suprised by that! I always thought they were!
I have seen footage which suggests otherwise. However, I can imagine at their own shows they play fully live.
@@iEddiezany vocal cues are played by ben on one of those roland pad things i think
One of best sounding bands. Super simple without BS. Drums are amazing. I have huge respect for RB guys. Cheers.
Great interview!! I love that Drumeo shows us the human side of drummers, who often don’t get much of a voice in standard music media coverage.
👊🏻
Are we gettin a “Ben Thatcher hears ‘x’ for the first time”? Cause that would be awesome.
I saw Royal Blood open for Queens of the Stone Age in Toronto around 2018. Don't get me wrong, QOTSA sounded amazing and put on a great show, but Royal Blood were my favourite part. It was the heaviest sound I had ever heard. My ears couldn't reconcile with my eyes only seeing two guys up there. Ben is a fantastic drummer. I can think of few drummers that are that solid no matter what beat is being played.
I was also at that concert! I felt the same way and have seen royal blood 2 more times since then. Best live shows I have ever seen!
“We wanna change up the set don’t wanna make it obvious that’s where the drum solo goes every night” - now this is a live band. Don’t wanna follow a script like so many do. I love it
I had no idea he is triggering the vocals. I always thought it is on click, wow. I still remember the feeling when I first heart Out of the black drums... blew my mind.
Royal blood was the fastest selling British rock debut in three years, hitting number one in the UK and going twenty in ten countries including the US . They were lauded with Awards for Best New Band and Best Live Bands , the kerrang .
Takes me back to 2014, Ben Thatcher is such a beast
Royal Blood have been here for a decade... God damn!
Saw them last month in Australia. The sound these 2 guys produce is phenomenal. A few songs into the setlist, the crowd starting chanting "drum solo" and the singer Mike tells Ben to give them what they want, so he rips one out on the spot. Such an awesome show
Thanks for hanging, Ben!
Loved it man. Thanks for having me.
@@benjitalentgood times!
@@benjitalent I play your songs in college
video editing for this episode is amazing !
Ben is an excellent drummer to play a long to. He's clean and his parts sound relatively simple but they have enough spice to them to keep it fun and interesting. He's right that Out of the Black is definitely a song that helps your left hand. One of my favorite drummers and just straight up good dude.
My left hand didn’t work like that until I started playing that song
I cant believe this, just started to learn to play drums, Royal Blood is my favorite band and you guys just realease this treat of a video! I hope I can find all Royal Blood songs on your website. LOVE!!
PS: dont forget to brush your teeth, ROCK N ROLL!
Just saw these guys last December in Sydney.
Absolutely loved it.
It’s cute Ben and Brandon wore matching shoes.
😂
YES ! love these guys, sososo happy ya'll got the chance to interview mr ben
Thank you for this interview! Royal Blood is my favorite band since 2014 - absolutely inspirational
Amazing interview, Royal Blood is one of my favorites bands and Ben oh my god, talented drummer, thanks drumeo!
Amazing Interview! I'm looking forward to seeing them in April
My all time favourite band. Love Mike & Ben
I love Royal Blood. Good to see them get some recognition here.
Ben is a badass and seems like a super down-to-earth, nice guy
My favourite drummer! I was so happy to see this video pop up in my notifications.
Found this band from nowhere, just a few people listening.
Moments after that, playing Forza Horizon 3 I was surprised with 2 song of them in the game.
One week ago went to the show of them here in Rio de Janeiro, and can say. They are wild, and have a such unique energy.
Ben pointed to me and wave his hand tô me at beginning of the show.
I really fall for they sound. And knew a bunch of people who is fan from the bottom ❤.
Ben, you're amazing.
I’ve been listening to these guys a lot lately, it’s funny this showed up. Love this band. Seems like a great guy too.
Nice to meet you at Drumeo Ben! What a drummer 🤘⚡💪
Saw them touring the UK after their second album and have seen them again since, I'm from near where they're from so it's insane to see them on Drumeo, 2 little English lads have grown up a bit now 🥲
Love every video that drumeo puts out, amazing content even if im not familiar with the band 🔥
I absolutely LOVE Royal Blood, I'm watching this while I'm waiting for the show they're doing in Brazil in April, the first one I've ever been to. It's really exciting to see Ben talk about the show, his favorite songs to play, inspirations, etc.
Vou estar lá também
Ben has always been one of my favs!
Royal bloooooood!! ❤❤❤❤ I would love to meet Ben one day. They are amazing live!!
These guys are so fuckin' cool. Such a HUGE sound...from 2 guys. LOVE THEM!!!
I saw them this year in Austria supporting Muse. Great band! What a snare sound!
First started listening to these guys in 2015 when they were on Howard Stern. Finally got to see them live for the first time a few months ago and they did not disappoint. Great band and great video with Ben.
Love this band. And especially the drum parts to a lot of Royal's songs they're so dope.
ive been waiting on this for a long time
I loved seeing Royal Blood!! Soo good!!
Ben is one of the best to ever do it!! Loved this video
Dude has groove for days!!!
We need more drum cam from Ben !!
Brilliant interview 👏 well done
one of the best episodes for sure! brilliant inventive drummer
Dear Drumeo, excelent choice of modern contemporary drummers, as always.
Is there a chance that we see some Morgan Rose of Sevendust? Very original and significant name in modern rock drumming.
Keep doing what you do, guys, it is priceless!!!
I met Ben last year & he’s every bit as nice as he seems, and an awesome drumming machine 🥁😬🤘
Seen Royal Blood 3 times now. They're bloody brilliant
My son's first rock show, we got to see their stadium set in a little club as they were in between SF and LA. Such a big sound from two dudes. Heavy, explosive, and way too much fun. Love Ben and love this band.
18:45 always loved that little break that messes with your head. And now he played the toms twice in a row and I am amazed again! Love it! Seems like such a great guy!
Such an Awesome band! What a laid back cool dude! So inspiring to list to. 🤘🤘
Gonna see them live tomorrow!
Incredibly groovy drummer. I'll have to check some more of these guys out!
First time hearing Royal Blood. They sound good! Will have to check out their discography
All that amazing sound and they are only two dudes 😮 oh man what a beautiful kit 🥰🥁
I am gonna have to check out some more 'Royal Blood' they rock!
Thanks for this @Drumeo you guys rock too 😊
😂 I know if I were on tour I would not be able to live without my PS5 😅🎮
Awesome drummer, awesome video, thank you guys!
Very solid drummer
First saw these guys when they opened for Foo Fighters at CitiField in NYC, and I've been a huge fan ever since. 2 incredibly talented guys kicking ass and taking no prisoners 🤘🏻✊🏻✌🏻
I did a tour years ago as half of a duo of drums and keys with some backing tracks.
Loved it. Being at the front of the stage was awesome.
Those drums sound SICK! ❤
that is what I was waiting for
The flow if this interview is impressive. Especially since it was early shot in bits and edited together. Super dope 👌🏻
watching someone creating drums to an early bloc party song and then reacting to to original would be great, matt tong was a genius!
Funny how so many musicians are getting on bands for having prerecorded elements to their live show but here the drummer is hitting those triggers to play them, they're not just synced up through the PA
The last show I went to was Royal Blood in Portland, and DAMN they crushed it! Every single person was rocking out hard. Basically a huge party. So sick!
Fun fact: fin balor’s theme song “catch your breath” was inspired by Out Of The Black
Also hearing Ben mention One Trick Pony is awesome, 10/10 song
Yeah, lazy WWE composers always steal famous music and always suck total ass at it. Talent free leeches.
Love this band and his rock solid, tasteful drumming.
This man grooves
I hope we get some more Royal Blood featured on the channel.. Maybe a Hears Royal Blood for the first time video
Saw them a couple months ago in Salt Lake City. Amazing show.
Are you guys sharing one pair of shoes?? Haha! Great video and interview. Keep up the great work!
Of course!😂
Snare sounds awesome
Just chucking a comment here that I would love you guys to do some content with Pau Villareal from The Warning!
Royal Blood are incredible, not just for a two piece but full stop. Some of my favorite music of all time, and I wasn't even a teen anymore when I first heard their stuff
Love this band ❤️🔥🤘
One of the best bands ever! Seen 3 times and met Mike Kerr. Coolest guys
Royal Blood was amazing live in Austin! Love that the two of you have matching shoes! 😂
One of the most underated drummers out there
Drumeo: fantastic video as a guitarist I love understanding yalls world better through videos like this.
Drummers: if they don’t play to a clique, how the hell does the length of his triggers like the background harmonies stay in time
he plays them at the right time
Lol, so far the only band I've done drum cover with. Thanks for this content)
I've been a Royal Blood fan since I first heard them. Saw them live once in 2018, gonna see them in April again. I gotta say I'm REALLY impressed that the tracks are triggered by Ben and not automatic while playing to a click track. I would have assumed that was the case. This makes my appreciation for this band much bigger. Great video!
'' I Hear Trouble Coming ' Very Killer Drummer ., Knows His Business . . Mr. Ben T. ; Royal. Blood !!!!! Thanks Drumeo And Company For Your Staff/Channel Brilliance In Taste . . Grrrreat Episode., Keep Feeding !!!!! ❤ N ✊ !!!!!
These videos are great
Wait, I mind blown he says that they don’t use a track or a click. They’re one of my favorite bands, I had no idea every single sound was live I guess I just assumed it wasn’t because they are two piece?
Would love something with John Beavis from Idles. Dudes a beast
What a drummer!!😮
BEN ON DRUMEO YES!
Such an innovative and unique band. Ben is a phenomenal drummer and showman!!
Saw them live from the front row in SLC in November. Love that you gave him the spotlight here! 💪
спасибо за Бэна!
Seeing Dom Howard from MUSE and Ronnie Vannucci Jr from The Killers each have their own episode from Drumeo would be a DREAM! 👀
Legend 🙌
Yeah!!!!!! Royal blood!!
I really want more from Ben on the channel 💖💖
Royal bom demais, tá louco! Curto demais essa linha de bateria deles.
Vou estar la no áudio pro show deles em SP
I saw Ben causally standing outside Finsbury Park station in London just minding his own business. Wish I’d stopped to say hello but thought it was pretty cool to see a bonafide rockstar in every day life.
what a legend
Great great drummer. But now we want also Dominic Howard from muse. One of my favorite drummer and so underrated in my opinion 🤟🏻
