Same here

Adam seriously looks like a fucking machine when he drums, its so sick, his style is just so damn tight and smooth and every motion is exact and amazing lol

definition of perfection and comfort

Trying to be. Just appreciate them both for what they've accomplished

for this song I really love the drum from 0:08 to 0:43 . always love bands who have this similar beat in a song. uUUGGHH! this amazing band is over with tours...wish they did another one. Now I will never have the chance to see them and bang my head so hard and jam ;-; love you TIJ!

He does exactly what my band does live. Has the tracks on his iPod with just click in one ear and guitars, bass drops, and everything else in the other. They run his iPod through the mini board and use a splitter and have only the right or left sound (whichever they prefer having the bass and guitars on) coming out of the monitors, that way no one in the crowd hears the click.

I keep staring at Hat guy's white socks.

It looks like a gold series.

Thanks for uploading this! You have no idea how many times I've already seen the other video of Adam playing this song live.

Every time i watch the videos from this set, i always look at the guys to his right sitting by the wall lol they really like watching adam lol

He's playing everything like it's so fucking simple

Those two bro`s in the background killed it. Too funny.

haha, that cymbal choke at 2:42 is beautiful x'D

1:39 the dynamics!!

I like how the singer choked Adam's cymbal for him at 2:41 lol.. that was pretty sweet.

guy on right Adam is absolutely the best :D

2:30 is just pure.

Unbelievable drumming

when alex mutes the china for him in the last breakdown it reminded explained the philistinism metalcore to me

my brain hurts im too amazed.

TIJ is my favorite ABR cover band.

best action.

1:35 Cleanest cymbal choke I have ever seen.

fuckin awesome

It's most likely an in ear monitor. So he can ear the guitars and the vocals. It's quite hard to hear everyone when you're behind a kit. Some drummers listen to a "Click" which is what it sounds like. It's a click to the tempo of the song, that way he doesn't speed up or slow down. It also could be the actual recording of the song that they recorded, and he's drumming along too. I've seen various drummers use one those tactics while drumming. It makes live drumming so much easier.

1:39... The first dynamics I've ever heard ever in a hardcore piece. Yes, and for that, we thank you.

It's the backing track Most bands play to backing tracks, and the tracks will be on that ipod. The back tracks will generally just contain stuff like, bass drops, reverse snares, reverse snares and other extra things that are in the song that aren't instruments.

he has his ipod hooked up to something like a mixer where him and everybody else have they're in ear monitors. so he has the songs playing in his headphones i believe. or it mite just be for the bass drops

i love it :) 2:42

0:11 YEAH

your right, i had a conversation about ghost notes and you cant even hear them when he plays them. he just does them for his own fun

no cuz with that he can chose what he wants to hear louder or less louder: bass, guitar, vocals.. While the sound board is for the sound of the speakers what the crowd hears. + he needs to blend in his clicktrack

How can a young drummer play like that?!? It's like he and the drums are one symbiotic organism. Does he drink psilocybin tea and play for 12 hours a day or something? Jesus..

2:35 and that children, is what i like to call, the right hand roflcopter

click track and any drops/electronics/etc if any, mainly the click track though to keep the tempo

1:15 kid in blue "aye watch this part."

looks like adam sandler on drums :D

all the time Adam leads in china two guys in the background feel themself professional drummers

We have the same shoes! :D @2:09

That swivel at 2:12

he even plays a lot of things with his left foot to make it more difficult ;)

What is he using after the song to his left? Is that a mixer playing loops, I have no idea, just curious. Someone should know :)

honestly both kits were almost 100% the same on the outside, and even closer when it comes to the shells used (all from Keller). Sonically, its the exact same. unless he is tuning differently. but i think it's just a phone camera.

What crash does he use on the right?

Do you know what his smaller china inbetween the toms is?

those 2 kids in the background lol

IMPERIAL CYMBALS ;)

Why isn't that place packed?

The bros in the background crack me up in all these vids. Dudes killin the air drums haha

peter says denim mendunia🇮🇩🇮🇩

For those who think Adam is using backing tracks. He is using a metronome mixed with the set list of their songs. I know this for sure. But why have the song play when you need to rehearse the whole show? That makes rehearsal pointless.

In a cheaper version of in ears he’s using. Don’t know why people are freaking out about it. But as for why have the song play? He’s behind a set and cannot clearly hear who’s playing and he’s just using an iPod with a mixer instead of regular ears. Literally everyone who plays live does a version of this

Mine too. I've been digging technical dudes like Johnny Rabb and Benny Greb, but if im in the mood to watch an entertaining, technique crazy powerhouse, hes my guy. Love the flips,twirls,showmanship too. The grammar in this sucks. Mys badz.

I dont think its boredom rather than it is his style. His drum style is to do stick trick movements and ghost notes.

its the click tracks for the songs

Well why would he need a mixer if he has In Ear monitors? They are wired to the sound board so wouldn't it already be mixed?

He will have a mix from FOH and then he uses the mixer to mix his ipod in which he uses for his clicks tracks.

u sure? i thought he still used the sabian aax on the right. as on most of the shows at that time he only had the left crash and hihat from imperial.

Alejandro Martinez

Adam indeed uses click tracks from his ipod in his in ears. The rest of the mixer, he uses to hear the others and his own drum microphoned.

What sticks does he use ?

2:42 Cymbal choke

Haha Alex! 2:42

so annoying that a band as insane as this, only have like 20 kids show up to there shows :/

right know he has an Imperial custom crash of "18.5

I think everyone's heads are wired to the mixer so the entire band can hear what everyone else is playing. no idea what his ipod would be there for lol

right know he does use all seven drums idk back then when you wrote this comment

Doesn't he use a splash anymore ? O.O

hows those 2 guys on the right thinking their hectic with their hats backwards. i wish i was that hardcore

Why does everybody have to compare Adam to Matt? Adam

adam should have let the cameramen with the blue shirt play...

What makes you think Adam could outplay Matt?

Imperial, im not sure of which model but its an 18"

sorry to burst your bubble but this is his truth set, only the snare in from 7.

i really like adam but i think hes amazing and the band is just ok

@Cody bennett: lmao I kno he's not even hitting the double bass

I think its a metronome

BEHIND THE BACK RIGHT AWAY WHAT IS THIS????

Looks like Matt Greier, same setup as Matt Greier... wipes the floor with Matt Greiner. There, I said it.

They probably don't have enough funding to afford In Ears with click tracks. I'm assuming, so he probably has the song playing with a click on his IPod

Kinda odd... I think Adam could outplay Matt Greiner but there's no denying that August Burns Red is way more popular than Texas in July. Nothing bad about it. Just interesting

China's are 18 and 12 Wuhan. I think the others are 16 crash, 18 crash, 20 ride, and 14 hihats.

its because the mics are not connected to the camera, instead its just the shitty camera microphone..

Adam Gray >>>> Matt Greiner The student in this situation has in fact become the master..

Adam may technically be better, but that's because the music the band writes as a whole calls for different composition on drums. Not all songs have to be fast and technical, Matt writes parts that fit better with abr's style of music, rather than trying to just rip fast double bass and quick fills here and there. Why not just appreciate both drummer for how they write music. They aren't the same person and they're not

you seriously judge the sound of his gear by such a low quality video? :D

Kinda sounds like August Burns Red.

They are brother bands

Adam is an amazing player, but honestly the stuff Matt plays is WAY more complex. Almost all of abr's new stuff has so many different time signatures its crazy. Adam is a great player i just wish that texas in july would write more music that is more complex.

Lol that guy in the background trying to be like adam

it's a click track he has. all the songs he has on his phone that he runs through the mixer

Click Track

There suffering from adam gray syndrome.. I dont blame them.

wat?
