First time I saw Billy live I was getting this strange feeling like "eek... is he... is gonna do any error in this song?", but that, man, is long time gone! I am pretty sure songs like "Weekend Sex Change" made it back to setlist thanks to him!
When I saw Dillinger in 2009 everyone in the crowd looked at the new drummer like ??? By the end of the set were all were smiling. This video reminds me how much a new drummer can change something for the good. Kudos!
I cant remember the year, but early 00's, i had no money so i couldn't go to the Dillinger's show opening for SOAD and clawfinger. I was completely hyped with TDEP at the time. I asked my friends how was the show and everyone told me it was rubbish, couldn't understand a word and a beat, waste of time Bla Bla... I was like "dudes, you just Saw the biggest act in the planet and you didn't even know it. Maybe you guys are a waste of time".
Thanks for the upload, Billy. You’re just such an inspiration to all of us drummers. Please upload some more of these videos - this was really amazing to watch!
@@nayrtnartsipacify yeah bro right up until he drops its at 3:41. i love the build up to it, its all about the contrast and dynamics. he plays the 4/4 really fucking hard
I love that this dude put out a video showing the technique he uses. Mueller method I believe it was. Hits hard and conserves energy. He is pretty damn amazing
I hope somebody's watching out for the poor fella now that he doesn't have proper adult supervision... Our beloved little Billy.... It was magic to watch him at the last concerts.. Such a machine!
I have to stop watching this video, but I cant!!! I have to comment every freaking time! It is just so amazing and beautiful! Guh, the dynamics he uses!
it's easy for me to forget how incredibly skilled Dillinger and their contemporaries are - right up until it's happening in front of me. this is absolutely mind blowing and i can't wait for you guys to come through RI again.
billy you are the numero uno in some respects for me. it feels good finally unpacking even the most complex parts of this song and understanding how to play it efficiently on the kit. thank you for everything.
Jesus, as in-fucking-same as Dillinger is, you would think that kit would be three times as huge. Don't get me wrong, I love huge kits with the double bass and ten different cymbals as much as the next guy or gal. More room to expand and add flavor to your sound. But, damn, Billy Rymer shows you right here that you don't need a big kit to go wild. Awesome video, man.
He may limit himself a bit in what he puts in his kit, but he definitely makes up for it by wringing everything he can out of his kit. Seriously... just grabbing his kit and choking the ever-fucking life out of it! There are drummers who can do lots of interesting stuff because they have developed the skill to use a massive kit and then there are drummers who can do lots of interesting stuff because they have developed the skill to use a limited assortment of options for all they are worth..... and then there are folks who have done both, of course. and in the end.. all of them are interesting, though I personally find guys like Billy more interesting and downright hypnotic to watch and listen to.
He has a double bass pedal... but yeah, you don't need much if you know how to use what you have. The amount of variations in drum/cymbal sounds doesn't have to be so huge when you already have a huge variety of ways to play the limited amount of options you have.
amazing. if more of these are coming, i would really dig seeing Understanding Decay.. have been trying to figure out how the hell you play that for months
Wow what a joy to see how it's meant to be played> I'd love to see your take on some earlier stuff, such as 'When good dog's do bad things' or 'the running board'?
I spent days on end learning this after seeing the Golden Gods footage, such a brilliant track! Hope to meet you at your Manchester (UK) show in a few months!
Or a guy who gets 8 hours worth of drumming packed down into this song 😂 the drums are so busy. That's why I love this music though. One of the few genres where drums can be super busy.
Well, when you play like that.... There is a video of Ben's equipment rundown and the guy seriously has guitars with the wireless built inside so there is no cable or box on his strap and he has a mechanical system that keeps his guitar in tune no matter what. These guys are all utter beasts when it comes to live shows. In-fucking-sane.
Josh Porter Actually upon further inspection I think he plays Silverstars. I just can't imagine Tama being ok with giving him a new Starclassic every month.
GritsNDesu I think its a silverstar bass drum with starclassic toms. In the studio, it's not unheard of to mix and match drums to get the sound you're looking for. Billy also advocated the silverstar line, but live I think he uses a starclassic when he can. ...heaven forbid the singer see him drumming though. He'll wreck his shit on the spot. Cuz fuck drums. I'd be scared.
I watch this over and over and never played drums in my life.. Helps learning the guitar part all the same.. Is he a child of skynet? Would explain a lot....
