Not to mention they’re all very talented and one of the few bands that pull off not only timing but the execution of vocals live are comparable to the album. Normally live there’s obviously different circumstances regarding performance but they’ve never disappointed. Incredibly talented.

Yea but Meshuggah is definitely the wrong example. Meshuggah uses incredible restraint as well. They're probably the most disciplined and refined extreme metal band of all time as a matter of fact. A much better counter-example would have been Dillinger Escape Plan, Oceans ate Alaska etc. if you were looking for chaotic, or "nuts".

So glad you enjoyed these guys, man! Absolutely incredible band. Excited to hear what you think from your Spotify listens! Altered State is a masterpiece of an album.

Seeing you make all the same faces we did when we first listened to Tesseract is great! Glad you finally got around to checking out Jay and enjoyed Tesseract

I love seeing you react to these bands that I've listened to for years, and always known they were doing some weird shit with time but not having a clue what, to then watch a much more experienced and competent drummer have the same reaction is very reassuring

Awsome! Thank you for the video

"I'm just liking it" that's exactly how I feel for your channel dude. Keep it going.

thanks for this!! ♥ I suggested this many times lml

Jay is such an amazing drummer. My mind was blown when I saw them live. So precise and groovy.

It's nearly 4am, I've been writing assignments all evening, I was about to go to bed... But then this popped up in my notifications 😍

Very cool stuff.. definitely be diggin in more with this band fo sho

So glad you decided to do Tesseract. They are a fantastic band that does lovely music! Also great to see you get kinda lost in it just because you like it :D

I love to see you loving TesseracT as much as I do. I don’t think I’ve watched one of your reaction vids where you were even this close to excited about a band you were watching. They’re that good live too, so go see ‘em.

TesseracT is one of my favorites! Jay streams a bunch on Twitch (mostly drums, does some game stuff) if you want to see more of him. Polaris is my favorite album, Cages and Dystopia being my favorites off of that, but One is a fantastic album as well. What's really nice about seeing you react to them is that I understand that they are "fucking time up", but knowing when they do it in these reactions and seeing you react the same way to the music at the same parts just validates all the time I spent listening to them. Thanks!

There we go!!! Thanks, Garrett!

I was waiting for this! 🙃

always nice to see a new Tesseract fan!

I literally searched for you doing Tesseract 2 days ago! Finally!

Daily fix. I dig your videos dude. Keep them coming.

I have worked with Jay and you'll find he is usually playing in more than one time signature at the same time

Jay is an under rated drummer for sure man. The grooves of tesseract always blow me away

listen to their album "One" I'd describe it as Djent with nu-metal and tool influences. The first lyrics to "Concealing Fate Part IV - Perfection" are like a lost, early Mudvayne record.

Ive always said tesseract are the perfect example of complex simplicity. You always feel that groove but you can peal back rhythms and layers constantly. Love your channel duder 🤘

Bro....so glad u finally did tesseract! I have loved that band for years bc it is EVERYTHING a drummer wants to hear while still being able to disappear in to vocals and song.

My favorite drummer being checked out by my favorite jazz drummer reactor, there might be a heaven

Finally! One of favorite drummer ever!

Yes! TesseracT is one of my favourite all-time bands. I can listen to One and Altered State end-to-end any time.

I’m so glad you listened to nocturne as well (the second song) it’s such an amazing work and I love Jays “loose” flowing cymbal work, the way he splashes in accents and all the little chime and splash cymbals he sneaks in are awesome

Take a look at rick beato's last vid about karnivool...it's about a 27/4 groove^^

Tesseract is one of my favorite bands. Glad you liked it :)

thaaaaaank you! i, like others, asked you to check him out months ago. there's something so smooth about jay's play, and he's a super nice dude too. all of their work is great, but Altered State really is a masterpiece. please do more.

More of JAY!!! Amazing drummer!!!

I love the fact You realized the guy was killing it on the drums so You didnt analize much but just enjoyed the performance, that's the step print of a humble musician 🤘🏾 love your videos, upload one where You actually try yo play what you just reacted to! That'd be cool!

Altered State (instrumental version) is honestly one of my favorite albums. The thing is a masterpiece.

I definitely want more Jay

For some reason I' m really happy that you liked Tesseract !

Saw them live front row next to stage years ago in Boston and they immediately became my favorite band and still are today. I went to the show for animals as leaders, but left in shock of Tess.

You can never go wrong with Jay Postones!

TesseracT is just an absolutely well rounded fantastic group of musicians so very good! U need to see them live for sure then your mind will truly be blown lol

I went to a festival in Paris, end of 2014. It was called "Damage Festival" with the sickest line-up one could wish for this genre of music, and they were playing that night. I didn't know Tesseract very well before, but man, they gave me the biggest slap in the face I ever had during a live show, and that's telling something !

This one was my favorite so far. Us fans know TesseracT rhythms in our blood, to see you get lost in it and just dig it was very enjoyable. -austinseven

< dude tesseracts 😁 so glad you got to this!

"I just like like it, his style is fucking great" - well said man

so smooth...

Another great video, love these! Quarantine life complete with your playlist By the way the skewed cube is in fact a Tesseract.

Enjoy one of the best modern drummers today

The G-Man goes double down ... Sweet ! Good to see you just digging it. Stay safe and in sweats

I'm so glad you finally got to them. Postones is such a beast. He's been doing some cool streams on e-drums during the pandemic too. But Tesseract is probably the best band from top to bottom to come out of the Djent scene.

Awesome video man thanks for introducing me to these guys! If I may drop a recommendation - JD Beck & DOMi. JD is young as hell and SUCH a unique beast. Love it!

I was really expecting this one

It would be awesome if you could find a drum cam of Andrew from The Ghost Inside. He had his right leg (his dominant leg) amputated mid thigh after the tour bus the band was in got in a head on collision with a semi truck. Every member of the band experienced life altering injuries. They just started to released new music and he uses a funky contraption that his dad made to rock the kit again.

i was lucky enough to see this dude AND Blake Richardson in one evening! twas EPIC!

My fav band.

he does live youtube playthroughs and answers questions on his youtube page all the time. hes amazing

Ah! Dude, I'm so glad you finally got around to checking his playing -- but not only that, the band TesseracT! And I'm super glad you want to go check their music out, because they are absolutely incredible musicians all around, and incredible songwriters. They are definitely their own thing in that space. Their whole discography is pretty awesome. 'Altered States' from 2013 was an incredible record that that they did with singer Ashe O’Hara (classically trained -- fucking angelic voice) if you want to hear TesseracT screamless heh. But I love all of their stuff. The singer Dan has some incredible solo music as well!

Ha! That was my first thought as well "I'll see you on Spotify" Wow!

"I don't know where to clap 🤯" laughed my ass off with that one bud lmaooo

The album version of this song has a pretty crazy instrumental section after the final chorus out where he's playing dotted crochets on his right hand. He's such a good drummer and his ghost notes on his left hand are insanely good!

The second one is older. You can tell by him having hair in the second :D Also: Good closing statement!

“It feels like 2/4....I don’t know where to clap”. This was beautiful.

Jay is the smoothest and crispiest around.

I got a water mug just like yours. Bought it in Kentucky and it says "moonshine" on it. Also, it wasn't filled with water. I love Tesseract by the way. So much talent in that band.
