Kudos on the sound guys for this show. The vocals, guitars and drums are all crisp as fuck. And of course, Lyle is a monster.

a lot of death metal drummers seem kind of interchangeable (not to discredit anyone, the genre sets one of the highest bars) - but this guy's writing / playing has a very personal stamp on it, you can't replace him and expect another album like planetary duality to happen.

Couldn't agree more, he breaks the fluidity of his playing really speaks, it's almost delicate while still being more than loud enough. You can tell he has a personal connection with the material which would be hard to find with just some other hired gun.

Lyle Cooper's work in The Faceles presents me with the most perfect marriage of technicality and soul Ive ever found in my musical journey.

i still find this amazing, man is drowning in sweat, exhausted and looks half dead but still gives a masterclass in drumming

2:49 - 3:20 still gets me every time

2024 still watching this masterpiece. He is in a trance. Love it.

how he can drum this well and look half asleep is beyond me.... what a show of talent!

Justin Rios Oh look the moron thinks that criticism is hatred and is trying to say everyone else is shit at drumming. His back looks properly out of shape when he does faster double pedal parts and that's a fact. It doesn't make him bad, it just means he has bad posture. Don't be a little child.

@t3hgir

7 жыл бұрын

watch George Kolias' dvd on blast beats. He says that it's common and natural to lean forward during faster tempo double bass. As long as you're relaxed and not straining any muscles (look how relaxed Lyle's shoulders, face, etc are) I don't think a slight hunch forward to lean more on the pedals is going to cause back problems.

@numnumzramen8990

6 жыл бұрын

Leaning forward helps him not strain as it shifts his weight more over the pedal allowing him to maintain control and speed. It's the only way to be able to do the amazing stuff he does as precisely and consistently as he does. Thanks

@rickhxc

just because kollias says that is natural doesnt make it right, i mean , yeah hes fast as fuck , and can lean to whatever side he wants while he plays, but his back is gonna hurt years later, yeah he plays great and i respect both drummers, but damn, one thing that always you gotta do is sitting with the correct posture on your drums , or anywhere , of course for anyone "sitting right" its subjective but for a physical terapist well thats a different story, not a hate comment bro just trying to make a point, cheers

He has his eyes closed during all the quick double bass and blast beats. He's concentrating. I can't imagine how hard this is to play.

Miss so much this era :'(

Love how The Faceless are one of the most technical bands out there at the moment and they play a tighter show than any band that plays music no where near as technical as this.

Only one word needed... Beast!

Mind blowing

Playing drums is such an art

not just his performance, but the band as a whole...so fucking good.

Muscle memory at its finest right there!

It's crazy noticing the difference of styles once it breaks into the groove at the end. It's like watching a completely different drummer.

2023 and this video still give me goosebumps

He's jus godlike....the beat from 3:17 onwards is d most creatively and beautifully composed pattern i've ever heard..

Such a unique drummer i love your style of attack on playing

The best part of all of these is when Lyle hunkers down for some absurd blast beats imo.

Omg best live ever

such a fucking badass definitely in the top 10 best live death/tech/prog metal drummers out there

So chill and shredding like that wtf.....God damn
