I'm confused by the comment. Didn't Drumeo get Chad Smith and MJ's drummer? I feel like this is a slightly more achievable booking for them, in my view.

You can see Art is a kind soul and really enjoys what he does, so glad he has settled into his role with Lamb of God so well 🤘

Great drummer, humble, honors Chris' parts while being his own drummer. This is exquisite.

Dude, the drum mix is on point every single time! I'm hearing this on studio monitors and it is so crisp it could be released on the actual album. Kudos to the sound guys. Your work deserves all the appreciation it can get.

Been listening to LoG since first album, can’t say I don’t miss Chris but Art is like an exact piece that filled the gap. Rock on Art! 🤘🏼

Not only is this dude an awesome drummer, but he can do magic, too! Lol this is one of the most fun drumeo vids I've watched.

I was too, Art is good, but did you ever watch a session like this from Chris? Chris was flawless and brought a lot more inspiration to the band in my opinion. This is actually also explained since Art says here that he watched the other guys do the work and did not want to much of his own opinion in the drumming. He is good, but to me he is 80% of Chris and not more. I would hope to hear some more original stuff in the drumming instead of ABCing... there are lamb of god songs that have such cool drum parts in them, i am hoping some of this in the future from Art.

@@danielrevenboer I had attended one of the sessions by Chris Adler where there were hardly 20 people. He was pretty good. I understand what you're saying but I never thought that another drummer could replace him in such a good way. Chris of course had his signature sound. And maybe the band plans to keep it that way. Otherwise it won't be Lamb of God and something else.

@WeMissDimebag

Mostly agree. Art does a great job filling in but he has not, to me, brought the same creativity and ingenuity to the stuff they’ve wrote with him that they wrote with Chris. A lot of it feels more like standardized parts or like it’s missing a bit of flourish to it that would’ve been there before. Also not a fan of the mixes on their last few projects, so maybe that’s part of it too. He’s an awesome player, I understand why they chose him, he does an excellent job, all that is true. I still go see them live whenever possible, incredible band, favorite metal band ever, deserve to be as big as they are. They’re still awesome, it’s just not quite the same (to me).

I've watched a ton of Drumeo video content and this might arguably be my favorite. Art is incredibly humble, funny, and talented. His joy when playing is absolutely infectious. It makes me want to get behind the kit. Thanks for sharing!

Hell yeah! Thank you so much Drumeo for inviting Art. I am a big fan of LoG. Although I really miss Chris, I can’t think anybody else that can continue his legacy but Art. I am a guitarist but I am tempted to start drumming, maybe I am giving a chance to the app.

Hell Yeah! LoG and Art Cruz! The best got even better! Monster on the kit!

It cant get any better than this, Art Cruz brings a smooth style to Chris A amazing technical drumming.

That camera shot where you can see Art face in the reflection of one of the toms is sooooooo perfect. Drumeo's killing it with the content and concept lately. The production is as good as the interview chemistry and the guest. Looking forward for more !!!

Art Cruz is the coolest person I have ever met. So nice, and beyond talented. So happy for him and what he has done with the band.

I remember discovering Art during Wings of Plague and was super happy he got the gig, he surely deserves it and he filled the seat perfectly

This is the next generation of LEGENDARY metal drummers right here. While there is no "replacing" the greats, there is certainly such a thing as carrying the torch and building on top of what came before. Art is certainly all of this.

This video reminded me of why I love this channel. As an avid listener, I’m able to watch my favorites play and talk about how and why. Art seems to be a wonderful person and I love the personal and artistic respect he has for his band. He’s definitely a current fave and so swoon worthy 🥰🫶🏼🥁🔥

Been a lamb of god fan for almost 20 years now and I'm happy the band found such a great player to step in for Chris Adler. Hopefully, I can catch this band live sometime in the future.

Art's style definitely does fit and they've made some great songs with him but Chris was so much more technically advanced in the way he'd almost make melodies with his cymbals, examples in the songs: "Laid to Rest," and "Now Youve got Something to die for." And his kick work was phenomenal. Examples in the songs: "Pathetic," or "Black Label." From what I've heard from both, I have to say Chris is just far better in terms of dynamics and overall precision, but Art is still amazing.
