"Oh shit it's leg's day. Better play the Stage".

[SynSpiderz]

Seeing this just reaffirms the thought that the whole album is basically Syn and Brooks going a little bit mental and the rest of the band trying to keep up.

Guitar Store Employee: How many cymbals do you need?
Alex: Yes

[jaimebustos]

These are the cleanest covers I have ever heard. You can clearly hear ever stroke. The fact that he made it past the intro I'm convinced this man has calves of steel.

[MRCMNTR]

Thank you Brooks Wackerman, for creating the best song that ever existed!

[Crzztphr]

Once Alexander finishes,
"Now. How do I get out?"

[frankmcaninch]

you fucking killed it again ur easily one of the best drummers on youtube can u do run to the hills by iron maiden

[Lyendith]

And this, folks, is why you can never have too many cymbals. :þ

Seriously, I love all the little nuances and subtle personal touches. T'was great.

Still, it seems like no one dares to tackle Exist. X) Only one youtube drummer has done that one.

[billboyd]

The drummer is crazy good and the drum set is huge

[WesternPhrog]

How much do your neighbors hate you?
Nvm, who can hate this song?

[TrevorPrinceMusic]

After the first 45 seconds you gained another subscriber and ended my drum career. I'm going back to guitar now

[CombsTowerProductions]

This is the most accurate cover I've seen of this song! ROCK ON MY DUDE!!!!

[CM_Aeleng]

The Rev looking down from heaven looking at Brooks making this Masterpiece

[MrHollywood]

Kids, this why you practice. Especially if you’re using a big kit as it requires more speed and precision to move around such a big kit if you use almost every piece of your kit like this guy does. Unfortunately, practicing doesn’t make your wallet as solid and it doesn’t keep you from putting holes in it while buying more toms, kicks, and cymbals. Unless you’re a touring artist.

[gilpgilp]

Seriously, man. This is amazing. The intro to this song is so mind blowing to me. I don't play drums (I play bass...) but sometimes I look at drum cover videos just to see what the F is going on. And the bass drum/tom interaction here is crazy.

[ethanharrisonn]

This is the first cover of the stage that is spot on, I love it

[NicholasBlackfire]

Потрясающе! Одна из любимых групп в прошлом, но даже сейчас я частенько их слушаю. Даже не отличить от оригинала! Rock on! 🤘
With love from Moscow, Russia 🇷🇺

[Beaueloevsworstnightmare]

Man your too underrated for how good you are

[weak_sauce_jerrylightbulb]

This guy is insane. Why he doesn't have hundreds of thousands of subs is beyond me. Keep it up man you're amazing

[ViralFormofLife]

Me myself not a drummer but I kinda fell in love with that snare sound. Amazing cover
