He looks like he can't believe he is playing this...

[ryanpatrickarradaza]

one of the most underrated, yet one of the best and most technical drummers out there. \m/

[taskforcecheesebread]

I honestly can’t comprehend the skill that this guy possesses. He has got to be one of the best drummers in metal music at the moment.

[devourpower]

"Chris, what's the tempo of this song?"


Chris: "Yes."

[jeremygrimm]

1:34 - 1:36

The only part that I can play

[offdaystv]

This man is truly a master of his craft. This drumming is on another level. The thing I like about his playing is it never comes off as repetitive or boring.

[ElijahdajEdi]

Probably needed an oil change after this....

[bcarp]

Every single aspect about this entire album is absolutely orgasmic. I'm more than obsessed with this band now haha

[AdriDwitomo]

If in the near future the safety of planet earth comes down to interplanetary drum battle..i vote him to represent earth :p

[masterknife]

This guy is insane. Oceans Ate Alaska need to do like 5 more albums with this dude

[jeremiahdombach]

What in the actual is that one-handed snare roll at 2:56...My mind is actually blown. Easily one of the best metal drummers alive right now

[davidjulian]

it's like he sees something we don't...

[xVermyy]

The best drummer in the scene right now, in my opinion

[atruedjentleman]

You must release an instrumental version of the album

[calebmolenda]

I have those socks...still can't play this

[Fallendemand]

Chris is a very cool dude I talked to him for a while at a show a few years ago and he was awesome.

[bagzy]

Before I clicked I was like "oh well, time to feel terrible about my drumming now" 😂

[gabrejj]

Chris Turner inspired me to quit drumming

[SargonnasIncarnate]

Holy... I'm definitely have to check out more of this drummer's works. He's beyond amazing!

[mitegai]

I've watched this video at least fifty times now, and the more I watch it, the more I realize that it's not absolutely perfect, and that's what's so amazing about it.
