    The respect for the craft, fellow musicians, the genre, and past and future of drumming is so evident in these videos. I watch them from beginning to end smiling and having a blast.

    As good as it is watching these dudes slay on tunes they don't know, the real spotlight should be on your engineer keeping every snare sound on f***ing point!!!

    I'm not going to lie, I'd love to see you guys force someone to play some more unknown bands. Actually, it would be really crazy fun to see someone try and play Stein's Theme or The Spy Hunter by Project 86. Those are older songs, but the drums are pure chaos.

    Pretty cool, I know about Zac brown band and that they actually do rock songs for covers Like metallica etc. Would be cool to get Chris on here and let him fly 😎👌 love this channel and series ❤

    Drumeo constantly reminds me that a lot of my favorite songs are my favorites because of an awesome drum track. I love that you pick all of these songs from different genres. Whether it's A7X, ZBB, Sum 41, Coheed, Paramore, Slipknot, etc. It's all about a badass drum part. Would love to see some Saosin at some point. Keep up the great work!!!!

    4:25 I always thought I was weird when I’d talk about this. I like throw a lot of extra beats into sections as a little extra flavor, and I’d count it as adding 3, or a “1.2.3.4.and” for adding a 5th beat. But trying to explain it to my drummer or other band members, and I’d sometimes get some blank looks, like I was speaking gibberish.
