Adam, you should just put piezo triggers* on your strings, kick on E, hihat on A, snare on D, and ride on G (imagine swinging!), and make epic drum'n'bass battles with Shawn. I would love to see that on tour in Europe *Or just do this ableton midi magic - I am a drummer I only understand triggers:)

Shawn, I've been a professor at Berklee College of Music in Boston for over 30 years. I've had a successful career as a guitarist and educator. Ever since you did this video, I've been out of a job. So thank you for that. Shawn knows I'm joking, but a more casual observer might not. I'm joking! By the way I have a gig two months from now! Still joking! Shawn rocks!

If you wanna hear a drummer who centres around stuff like this, id recommend checking out adam betts (the drummer in colossal squid and three trapped tigers). He uses triggers all the time and it makes for some pretty unique songs that I think people who like this would enjoy

If you weren't already aware, Impact Soundworks has some really good Kontakt instruments of various guitars. They are a lot more complicated than any of the Submission Audio stuff, but if you really want to be a one man djent band, I think getting Shreddage 3 Hydra working with Grove Bass is the only way, lol.

Using the guitar notes from The Woven Web breakdown at 3:28 was hilarious man

Thanks again for making the tour happen. I know you and Adam took a real hit financially on it and I'm sorry. The PDX show was great. Given all the hard breaks, it's extra cool you picked up a Revival Drum Shop hoodie. I know Jose, Jake and Keary really appreciate it. Hope to see you again down the road, might even have a custom snare drum for you.

Just FYI, in Adam's video on it, he went into how it still wound up being a huge success even with the amount they spent. Doesn't sound like they took a hit so much as rolled the dice and wanted people to realize what musicians are sacrificing to bring music to them.

Having Bleed 5 seconds before the end of the video is not what we deserved, but it is what we wanted

Cant wait to watch this video again in a year and see everything that went over my head now

Ben dancing was the best part of this video :D

This is awesome. So excited to see you guys in London!

Those animations for the midi trigger routing are awesome! So clear and intuitive.

It's inspiring to see what other things you guys achieve with Sungazer, keep on crushin it bro, hope to see ya in person soon!

Brilliant content and awesome editing ! I love the record

The first time I heard something similar was in 1998 on the Space Groove album by ProjeKct Two. Adrian Belew was playing the Roland V-drums on it and he was triggering the bass notes on the kick. It was only three or four notes in total and every time he he hit the pedal, the next note would be triggered. And then Robert Fripp and Trey Gunn just improvised over it.

I think this is gonna blow in the drummer comunity. This is an amzing content!

Definitely gonna try this! Thanks for sharing!

Wahhh great video man, very clever, very musical, very funny!!!

As a guitarist/drummer I not only approve, but I can't wait to experiment with something like this. I WILL CONTROL ALL OF THE GROOVE.

Sick!!!! Love it!!

I like your style. Nothing should be taken as seriously as having fun.

bro this is so friggin cool!

haha adding Bleed at the end there was the cherry on top. This video was so entertaining and informative. A+...D+?

Truc de ouf !!!! Bravo !

Am I the only one who'd gladly sit through a whole album of Shawn's drumming + auto-djent?

Oh this is so cool!

no this is good. teaching guitarists to learn drum patterns will make us grow up big and strong

mind blowing, so clever, fresh

Reminds me of Colossal Squid (Three Trapped Tigers drummer solo project) doing some amazing stuff with drum triggers

You’re a mad man Shawn 👏

I needed this and I didn't know it

This is such a cool idea

3:29 bro just sampled the woven web, I know that bend anywhere

Really liked the inside//outside project album, reconsider pls an EP or something if you have the time

This is just cool as hell.

Adam sounds so happy at 1:10

I love the new way the instrument are think about, they need to adapt to thrives.

This is amazing

Great stuff. Now try it the other way! I played around once with gates on guitar triggering various drum samples so your 000 chugs would trigger the kick, and then octave up for snare etc.

This is pretty neat

Hey Shawn, could you make a video explaining how you count the outro/climax of cytherean? The part right before you go back to the intro drums with the odd hits. Thanks keep it up man!

00:08 could EASILY be an Animas As Leaders song lol

it's settled then, next meshuggah album is gonna be just Tomas playing with drum triggers

3:30 samples from Animals as Leaders’ song “Physical Education.”

Love the mug

Actually goated

Thats so sickkkk

The Drum Djenerator

That's exactly how I'd do it, but with another DAW. Neat!

Haha, this is brilliant. All you need to know about "Djent". 😄

Impressive!!! At the end you played a sweet little pinch of "Bleed". Can you show how you might program the bending of the notes, with the setup you have there?? Pretty please.....

the velocity threshold on the snare for ghost notes, that's real clever. how about some kind of pressure sensor under your left foot that modulates note length based on hihat pressure? and below a certain threshold letting notes ring out so opening the hats behaves like a sustain pedal? would be a bit trickier to pull off but should be possible...

As a drummer and ableton user, I am very happy right now

Outstanding! Growing your music on the road! Would've loved to catch you guys on your. I am, however, uncertain about how I feel about the uniform stage PJs. 😂

This is crazy!!! 😆

You can also do some clever automation to control drum samples with guitar strums. Fits more for slam, but hey.

I will never use this, since I'm not a musician. Still I found it interesting enough to watch the whole video :) Just seeing how these things can be done is cool

this video should be called how to be animals as leaders

As a guitarist I never thought it would be drummers that took over the world

You know what would be more amazing?!?! Having your own car to get to gigs. Kidding......but really, drummers get your shit together ❤️

i was waiting for that bleed example the whole video

Just melt my brain why don't ya

Just a word: AMAZING! So inspiring! What trigger module do you use?

Love to hear a full Animals as Leaders rework

You play so.....djent-ly! 👑

Those 8 string thumping samples were totally from animals as leaders "joy of motion."

1:32 is that a periphery sucks mug lmao. Also joshua de la victoria is great 3:29 did u sample tosin abasi here? Sounds like his thumping bit from the woven web. Simon grove and plini are great as well
