75 Years of Capitol Records: A 5 Minute Drum Chronology - Kye Smith [4K]

Capitol Records are celebrating their 75th anniversary in 2017 so I thought it would be a cool opportunity to put together the widest spanning drum chronology in both time and genre to date! All releases in the chronology are part of the 75 albums that Capitol Records are reissuing on vinyl.
Filmed in Hollywood, California.

[gaterkj]

It’s cool seeing Beatles in the 60s and then slowly individual records from each of them show up in the next couple years

[Matthiasplaysguitar]

Every time there is a new video I always think about how on earth you could top the last one. You're absolutely killing it Kye, never disappoint to amaze me man.

[ramapiedrabuena]

Please. A Pink Floyd 5 minutes drum chronology. Or at least a cover. I'd love you for that.

[jcsfred]

kye, i'm loving these new traveling drum chronologies! keep up the good work! welcome to los angeles!

[everythingsuck]

if you pay attention you can see the exact moment when music industry became shit

[Drumdays]

absolutely great work from one drummer to another!

[raycorona]

HOW FRIGGIN AWESOME! Best thing I've seen all year!

[stokedtogetmellow]

Very cool! But did anyone notice he didn’t actually trigger the snare during during Freddie Jackson’s “Rock Me Tonight”? Also, The Beach Boys’ “Wouldn’t It Be Nice” doesn’t have the crash just before the legendary snare hit that kicks in the song. You can hear Brian Wilson make very clear he doesn’t want this when listening to him produce the sessions for the song. Still, a neat video, all the same.

[garretttanner]

this is my favorite video off of this entire channel minus the beatles, blink-182, and green day drum chronology

[ethanmoore]

could you please do a Muse chronology that'd be awesome
