ngl, i really hated deathcore and the start of lorna shore. but at some point when this album came out i started giving it a listen, and again, and again, and the drums were insane. but then the text. very emotional. but fck man. no homo, but i love this dude, he is insane. probably one of the best drummers in my opinion.
only after watching him play and see how easy he makes it look and just the vocals man, the more i listen to them, the more i love them. and till this day (20 years in metal) its the only deathcore band i think is insane, you feel all the emotions put into it.

I remember first hearing them and like so many other people immediately thought
"Oh, another band whose programmed all the drums and set it to 'absurd', well good luck pulling that off live…"
I just wanted to snitch on myself and retract my previous statement.

I'm sorry Buddy Rich, what was that you were saying about traditional grip and all these new players not being able to be fast enough using match grip?
Please elaborate sir. 😂

By far one of my most favorite drummers ever! Plus Austin seems so real and down to earth. You can tell he loves his job! Thanks for showcasing his truly amazing talent!

glenwood is a fucking banger. this whole set was amazing. what an amazing drummer. i will definitely check them out. people who complain about triggers, especially in his genre and the way he set them up, have no idea what they are talking about.

@christofferfrostad2626

The most impressing thing is that he looks so comfident and chill. Yet so ferosious. With the eyes closed, you know this is hes set up and are comfortable. Its amazing to watch. What a beast!

He's a good drummer. But I just skipped to random points and he was always playing the same shit

Give this drum a big pack of cigs afterwards please, it'll need them! Man what a beast this guy!

I don’t know a single other drummer so proficient with heel-toe kick technique. Triggers and everything aside, his feet look as if not moving at all. In awe 😮

No one can top John Longstreth when it comes to this style of drumming. Not sure if you've ever had him on but please do if you haven't.

Insane, only negative thing is that he use triggers. Doesnt sound good in my opinion.

Hatebreed formed when I was in 7th grade and I thought my Pantera shirt was cool. I can't imagine rolling into 5th grade with either of their shirts.

I know this is a drum channel and Austin is a menace. But yall pleassseeee go watch the guitar play through of sun//eater. It’s fucking nuts how fast that dude is with his hands matching the drums to the guitar notes. It’s wild

One day I'll be on drumeo and show the world that Tom fills in deathcore or techdeath is a MUST! I feel a lot of metal drummers (not all) only focus on double bass and the snare. I like my metal with textures. One day! I also should start putting out more drum videos soon! Austin is great just would love for him to be more creative with his Tom fills maybe adding 2 more but all drummers have their go to set up.

My boy gave that kit a proper beating! What an absolute monster on the drums. Oblivion is one of my favorite songs and his playing was utter perfection. 🤘🤘
