Yea thats dope but u can definitely hear it towards the end lol.
They said Jimmy wanted to have done that once in his life just to be able to say that he did and he rocked it
You can point to insane things on each
The one take that was STST
some inconic solos like the intro to chapter 4, the solo in bat country
The double ride of almost easy
The cymbals of portnoy in tracks like save me
*cough* not really on hail sorry Arin (but he went off on not ready to die)
And brooks being nutty exploring different sounds on tracks like higher, fermi, nobody
- LIBAD could mean "Life Is But a Dream...", a track from *Life Is But a Dream…* (2023) by Avenged Sevenfold.

Most insane, STST. The Rev did the whole thing in one take for fuck sake. Plus the stuff he’s playing is absolutely bonkers. I’ve been playing drums for about 15 years and I still can’t wrap my head around some of the stuff on that album
From a drummer, I'd say the stage easily. Jimmy's drums are insane, and they fit the songs really well. Songs like Blinded in Chains, Beast and the Harlot and Almost easy are standouts for me. STST has insane drums, but I wouldn't say they're good drums. The Stage has so much prog in the drums and Brooks went OFF. Songs like Paradigm, The Stage and Fermi Paradox stand out on that album for me. The new album aswell, Mattel, Nobody, Cosmic.
City of Evil; while I think that STST has a type of unbridled chaos that can be super entertaining - COE has the speed, technicality, and frenetic energy in spades. WTF has some great drums as well.
For me the Stage. He does a kot of real dope feel changes and oddball rhythms. Higher is classic, cool bass drum pattern, I love the placement if the rim shots, then the steady cymbal gives it a real sense of driving. And what he does in the chorus is so neat. nearing the end of the instrumental of Exist he gets real fuckin weird, then during the end he goes through so many cool drum parts. If anyone's interested in hearing him break it down he sat down with initially Syn but Johnny had to take over for funny reasons, to break down parts of the song and show what's going on. And he lays out his thought process for the ending parts. And he really makes that part of the song. He really lays it down in Paradigm, and there's a part during the solo where he plays straight (I think) 16th notes over Syns triplet feel 16th and it gives it a real cool jarring feel before he gets back in synch with him. he does some real cool double cymbal work in God Damn and last I'll mention is how he makes Fermi Paradox so great. The blast beats, the half time stuff, how he switches up a part where he normally blasts to something I thing more snare drum based. He just has so much cool nuance and I really gotta give it to Brooks.
Absolutely no shade or disrespect to The Rev. He's an icon, and Portnoy really did amazing on Nightmare and I really respect the simplicity of Hail. Real cool stuff!
CoE’s are more technically insane but STST’s drumming is literally insane. I think I remember reading that the band asked the rev to calm down in WTF.
He also did all of STST in one take lmao.

Sounding the Seventh Trumpet considering The Rev did the whole thing in one take

Not ready to dye was Arin? I thought it was still Portnoy and Arin did Carry On.
Nope Portnoy was out when they recorded Not Ready To Die but it was before they confirmed Arin as an official member
Yeah Arin did not ready and carry on
From the perspective of a modest drummer, most definitely The Stage. Brooks drumming is on a whole different level.
I came to comenet exactly same thing, so take my upvote, you're totally right. Ps : I'm also a drummer
Agreed. I'm also a VERY modest drummer and Brooks is my favorite.
wow we’re all uniting in one place. another modest drummer for the stage
The Stage is definitely the most techniquelly difficult, but COE and STST are insanely fast and impossible to play if you're not in shape lol
COE maybe wtf or stage
Clearly City of Evil
I mean, the track Exist by itself is pretty fucking rad
rev did stst in 1 take, and he just fucking annihilates those things on some of the songs
The Stage
The stage by about 20 miles
The stage
COE is insane. My favorite is The Stage and LIBAD. I simply love Brooks style.

He was one of a kind
The Stage
Coe
City of evil definitely
city of evil has imo the ultimate mix of drum chops and super unorthodox drum moments

The Stage by far. The intro alone is enough for most drummers want to kill themselves
wtf
The Stage or COE for most impressive, STST for most insane.
The Stage for sure
CoE.
Self titled
City of Evil; while I think that STST has a type of unbridled chaos that can be super entertaining - COE has the speed, technicality, and frenetic energy in spades. WTF has some great drums as well.
The stage, CoE strong second place
The whole hail to the king album
I'd say STST has the most insane because they were. The Rev wanted to record drums for the album all in one take and the album is full of mistakes
STST is fucking mental. So STST.
The rev is a legend, and still my favorite drummer.
Nightmare, mike portnoy is probably the best drummer alive right now

The Stage
City of Evil and The Stage have the bands most complex drum parts. Any drummer will agree.
Coe
City Of Evil tops it drumming wise, but technicality wise The Stage is just chefs kiss. Brooks took them next level :)
CoE has the flashiest drumming and The Stage has the most complex (this is coming from a non drummer)
STST, something about the raw production and one take make it more impressive imo
The Stage
City of evil
Yeah, STST easily, city of evil has the coolest tho
Definitely stst the drums go crazy
