When I was in highschool my teachers let me skip class to practice drums and I would just sit in the drum room and practice Jane Doe front to back over and over until I got it perfect. I'm 32 now and to this day it's the only cd in my car. Thank you Ben for getting me through the tough times.

@@BenjaminKoller Dude I have literally just got into Converge in the last few weeks. I just wanna say that as a fan of drumming more than any other instrument you have completely blown me away with your energy and style. I actually heard you with Killer Be Killed first (insanely good album by the way), but I've been slowly making my way through Converge's discography. Started on All We Love We Leave Behind, then Axe to Fall and now I'm on The Dusk in Us. All incredible. I can't wait to spin Jane Doe. Anyway, sorry for the long post just wanted to say thanks for being such a badass and creating fire music for us.

You know that a drummer is beyond this world when he just throw Axe to Fall, Dark Horse and Aimless Arrow without even breaking a sweat. I paused my Bloodborne game to watch this.

32:18 found the pocket and he knows it :) by far the biggest inspiration to my drumming style honestly, my favorite drummer by far. Such clean rudiment alteration and never off i love it.

Plagues is still my favorite Converge set opener. So damn good.

Man, I remember years ago my old tech death band got to open for converge. That was by far the most people ice ever played for, and when they played, it was absolute chaos. I just remember feeling like I was being crushed, ripped apart, and covered in my beer. Such an amazing show

I remember, when i heard Slipknot for the first time and i was like "oh man, Joey is just God.." but then, i found Converge and Ben has the most insane speed i ever heard. My mind can't grasp it. I also love how that double bass sounds from you. Listener can tell, that you are punishing your kit so hard.

stuff like this is invaluable, thank you.

Dude thank you for posting this

Fucking rad! Thanks for taking the time to find more footage. So hyped to see this in my feed!

Amazing! This is such a treat.

There are so many styles in your drumming. Love it!

Absolutely amazing performance, enjoyed it to bits. It is my dream for almost a decade now to experience and see the band play live. Fingers crossed. Headphones on, domestic headbanging on!

Thanks for this Ben!! We love you!!

Damn. Its been a few years since Ive seen Converge live but Ben is such a blast to watch play. SO MUCH SPEED AND POWER!!!

this is pure goldddd .. cheers from chile mr ben .. we still waiting for the cancelled show due fucking covid .. all the best for converge

Ben, you are great!

we need more koller cam videos!

13:34 hahah I love it!

Tons of respect from that corner of the planet called Athens, Greece ONWARDS!!!!!!

I'm no dummer, but your drumming style has always reminded me of Travis Barker's. I don't have the language to describe it, but the use of fills and the high number of variations. I started listening before You Fail Me was out, but it was Petitioning that got me started. I love every instance of the band, but your drumming has become a distinguishing part of what people know as Converge. I saw you guys live in Baltimore after You Fail Me was released, and another time after that. Both were amazing shows, and I've been to a lot of amazing shows. Dillinger is another one that has always turned up the heat(literally) in Baltimore as it's Greg's hometown.

You are my hero Ben

Can't even think of another drummer I aspire to be.

Hitting the headljnerz set was epic

how do they sound like the record every time they play live it’s fucking bonkers
