really liking how he looks terrified of his own drumming like "how the hell am i playing this right now"

[Mikethemang]

brother i still watch this 7 years later insane.

[The_KlaVra]

I will ask him three simple questions:

1- How do you come up with your parts?
2- How do you remember every hit and precision?
3- Are you a robot from the future?

[cassymae]

He's probably so good because of all the souls he ate

[dexsullivan]

Funny faces aside, I've never seen somebody play such amazing parts while simultaneously looking like he learned how to play drums last week haha. Pretty sweet though!

[RuRoy]

This guy is an robot octupus built to show us humans what it is to be a monster at drums.

[PatrickHogan]

The beat at 2:10 is so wonderfully pretty. And pretty drums are a rarity.

[fraserhounslow]

That Metric Modulation at the 2:10 - 2:21 is gorgeous!

[Joseph_CJB]

Guess we'll never see a video titled
"Oceans ate Alaska-high horse. Drum cover"
Then

[thatdudethatdrums]

You know he just secured his position for life. They cant fire him even if they wanted to lol no one else can play the drums for this album XD amazing drummer!!

[kadenlawson]

Literally drooling. That is no joke the best drumming I've ever seen. And you can argue with me about buddy rich, Neil Peart, & all those other people. But IN MY OPINION, that was the best drumming I've ever watched.

[lorenzoschiatti]

the most hilarious part is that he records all the song in a very few takes, sometimes even at the first take. fuckin' incredible

[francofernandez]

How does he compose and remember that song? It's fucking incredible

[abyss]

the changeup within the changeup after 2:08 is the most orgasmic drumming ive ever heard

[aronfebles]

This guy used more techniques in one song than me in my entire drumming career...

[derylleon]

Chris was a beast since I first heard him on Lost Isles, but now he has actually improved. How that is even possible, I don't know. He is smoother and more relaxed. Amazingly, he has further perfected his technique. Good on ya, mate.

[h_makestuffalt]

This guy just doesn't look phased at what he does. Afterwards he's just like: "Well, that went well."

the fuck is happening? Why does this only have 100k views??

[DennisSnyderDrums]

The blast beats, one handed rolls, and double stroke rolls on the double bass drum pedals are very impressive. Wow.

[RuRoy]

Was I the only one who thought that that fast part with the mini-china at 0:28 was hilarious?

[furcoat]

2:22. Probably one of the coolest fills I've ever seen. So technical and just everything good in a full.
