Now drummers can play both guitar and drums in "Bleed". Nice, Shawn!

[JonFinnguitar]

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!

[Altumbit]

Guitarists everywhere: *"I can't believe you've done this."*

[TheJuicyTangerine]

Have you checked out Dennis Martensson's procedurally generated Djent? He made both drums and guitar obsolete!

[justjamie]

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

[Freeshred]

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.

[JayQuek]

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

[ndykman_pdx]

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.

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

[fudgenugget]

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

[DomPalombiMusic]

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!

[beatfromjetsetradio]

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

[Dr_Wub]

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.

[brennanlable]

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

[Merlincat]

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

[JariSchroderus]

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.

[kwichmann]

Ben dancing was the best part of this video :D

[akikzza]

i had no idea simon mixed your guys' album! that shocked me when you said that, now it makes so much sense why it sounded like something else i love!!!

[Sergio-nbhj]

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

[iPivo]

The technology is cool as hell for sure, but how you actually set it up to make music is next level!

Kudos, Shawn!!!
