Hands down my favorite drummer. The guy that is the nastiest but is so controlled and cool that he makes it look easy. I wish I could stay in like he does. I'll keep trying.

I really hope you guys add this to the live setlist, an unbelievable closer to an unforgettable album. Incredible playing as always

bass drum is all tucked in for a nice nap :)

Going back to non-programmed drums was the move, it creates this human feel and groove, this albums drums I've felt like I could truly get into and really groove with it because it sounds so real.

Goddamn, this mix is orgasmic... that snare sound 😍

Serious chills. Incredible music, incredible drumming.

An abolute legend. You leave imprints on the legacy of drumming with every groove and fill.

So glad y'all switched back to recording live drums for this record! Jay, you're such a talented performer, and those subtleties in your ghosting especially come thru all across War of Being in such a special way 🖤

@@zoedoesmusic4520 NOOOO!! My life is a lie. I thought that Altered State was the only programmed record-and I only discovered that several years ago. You know, from the first time I heard Sonder, I noticed that the china was panned weird. You can really notice it at the beginning of King. I ask myself every time why the hell it would be coming from the same side as the pedal hat because Jay does not use a china on that side but it all finally makes sense now if the drum kit they were using had one there!😂 Could it have perhaps been a drum kit Tomas Haake sampled for Toontrack? It would have certainly had a china on the left hand side and Sabian samples to correspond with Jay’s former endorsement🤔 I’ve got a long subway ride today so I’m going to give Polaris and Sonder a spin and they are going to sound like completely different records now.

not completely programmed recordings if i'm not mistaken, they used toontrack drummer to recieve the midi from Jay's electric drum kit and customised the inputs so that it would record as close as possible to a live recording, programming it in would take an unbelievable amount of effort, I agree though, live recorded drums better

Jay Ghostones, Marco Minnemann & Matt Garstka. My Current Drummers-Trio. It is Mind-blowing how Jay's muscle memory is incomprehensibly precise. Pure talent. Big up!

Jay just pushes his kit right up to the Meinl section of the cymbal wall in the dum department at the music shop.

Один из любимых треков!!! Сумасшедший уровень!

My favorite track of the new record - and this performance is just godly. The feel, groove and emotion in the drumming....just sublime

Unreal, what makes this so good for me is that it's the most human (while still perfectly executing) this chap has ever made a performance look, a testament to how hard TesseracTs music must be to play and how the drum parts are written to serve the music regardless of a person's ability to play them. You can see (in the best possible way) the points where Jay needs to fight his hands and wrestle them into playing the notes where they are meant to go. It isn't all easy plain sailing for the dudes at this level, absolute graft. Loved it

100% - this take was just after we’d recorded the track, and since then I’ve gotten more familiar with it (when I recorded it for the Meinl vid for example). The footage from the studio sessions looks and sounds so lush.m though, I had to share some

Wait! So there are other tracks videod like this 🤔? That might be something we all want to see 😊 Looking forward to seeing you guys in Singapore !

This is what we all wanted!!

I appreciate that it’s an unedited 1-take. Lots of covers/play throughs are heavily produced (which is ok), but it makes it hard to remember what a real performance looks and sounds like. I think that’s especially helpful for musicians trying to improve using online tools (like me) since it sets a more realistic baseline to work towards. I tend to be perfectionist, so any take with the slightest mistake will be hyper analyzed and it can be discouraging, so this helps offset that kind of thinking. Cheers!

Mistakes are a 'no' but a human performance that isn't 100% on the grid is perfectly acceptable. If you listen to the ablum carefully, the snares for example aren't always huge... becuase I'm a human and I hit differently each time. You'll especially notice this in songs like Tender and Sirens

you deserve so much more coverage, your drumming is so unique. I have you in my top 3 with Danny Carey and Chad Smith. Hopefully you'll blow up soon

Jay, I just want to say how much your incredible drumming elevates this album! So powerful, detailed, and organic at the same time. Absolutely excellent work.

Amazing drum parts, you’re an outstanding composer, Jay. I also love the work that you guys put into the image of the video as well! Such a pleasure to watch.

The dryness of the hats.The punch of the snare. Sharp and dark cymbals. All being driven by ridiculous skill. I love it.

Still bummed this wasn't played live. It's my fave song on the album.

Such a fan of your cymbals selections my guy. Perfect for this music.

I like to imagine you're at grandma's house, and she just asked you to show her what you've been learning on your drum set.

Ok but that floor Tom is thunderous!!!!

I love this so much

Amazing. Unreal sound of drums

Thank you!!!!

3:39 - heeey, bring back the toms... i see them, but can not hear )

What a joy to watch… again. It never gets old, I’m just as blown away the tenth time I watch as the first on all Jay’s playthroughs.

That middle section is so unique yet so tesseract at the same time. Love how you composed this one!

I love that room, so warm and homey

Absolute grace Jay ❤

Phenomenal. Absolutely love your playing. RADIATING passion, this is what I love to see. Thank you for the inspiration Jay.

I never get tired of watching your play through vids. Excellent performance, as always. 🤟🏻

i dont know if i have ever seen better holds and cymbal playing...not to mention the cymbal set up on the kit! I am blown away!!!!

Hands down, a masterpiece!

That was bone chillingly great. Absolute killer on the kit. Good lord 💪🏽 well done!

You da man, Jay!

That was an instant like from me. I absolutely love this song, and hearing a 'human' performance has given me the chills

The way that Jay plays and enjoy it, its art ❤

I absolutely love your playing, Jay. You compliment the rest of the music perfectly.

Best ad I've seen for the band and new album. I'm a drummer so maybe that's with this ended up in my feed. I will be purchasing, and nice job my friend!

timing is insanely precise for a one take! love the sound as well, mixing is top notch

Jay just incredible musicianship my friend. I’m simply in awe. Everything is so tasteful.

Jay, you’re the fucking best dude. Such a pleasure and inspiration to watch and listen to you share your gift.

Always mesmerising to watch you play, man. The grooves in Sacrifice, Burden, and Legion really made an impression on me 😁

MAGICO!!!

Brilliant ❤ Jay is one of my favs. Superb drummer nothing to add. And the sound is top notch quality 🙌

Absolute focus.

Amazing performance, and one of the most incredible albums released in recent years

this song is just so so so good

One of the most slept on songs on the new album I feel. It was a pleasure meeting you guys at the Tampa show last year!

Killer performance! Solid drumming and great audio production!

So good!! Jay is becoming my new favorite drummer🤘

Just saw him at the Paradise Club in Boston, Ma. What a treat, just so good. I hope that Tesseract continue to create music and tour more in the USA!

Jay is such a nice guy! and a great song ;)

This is one of my favorite songs. Can't wait to see you in Bangkok 🔥

My favorite drummer! 🥰

I love your drumming dude ❤

ABSOLUTE BEAST! Live show kicks ass too.

Such an ease!! Best metal drummer in the world right now, no one even close. Can't wait to experience Jay & Co live for the first time in a couple of weeks!!

So good dude!

Bueatiful cymbal set up, sound and playing.

What a king!

I won't talk favourite tracks, but Sacrifice is my most played from War of Being

amazing
