You guys don't play drums so I get that you don't understand what's really going on and why it's so different , essentially Brooks is playing it half a beat slower then the original song so he's able to add all these little fills look at Mike portnoys version of it he plays it full speed and barley has any time for any fills what's so ever lol
Brooks is doing wonders by bringing a more mature and solid feel to Jimmy’s parts, which were just unhinged creativity and willingness to play with the melodies.
stop comparing brooks with jimmy guys .. i know REV was the best one because its was REV own Song while Brooks just took a place to being replace as a drummer in a7x ! for me his the one can replace jimmy!
Disagreed. Even though he was technically far more superior than his predecessors, he had the tendency to overdo it. Bobby Schayer was (in my opinion) a way better fit. Don't get me wrong, Brooks did a stellar job, i just thought it was a bit too much live.
@@FanaticDrummer I wouldn't go that far. The guy definitely has a ton of dynamic range, there's no disputing that. It has however changed alot. I think every fan has their own favorite "era" of avenged vocals, although I'll agree some of the later production choices especially have been questionable. Personally I think his cleans sound better right now than they have since the nightmare tours, but the screams have taken a backseat
@@FanaticDrummer uh have you seen any of their live videos as of recently? Shadows voice is pretty damn good, probably better than it was when they were doing The Stage tour
@@Somawesomestuff I havent seen one live video where it doesnt sound terrible lol His voice is just capped, sonically. No dynamic range and it clashes with the mix every time
Banding2in gini gak ada abisnya. untung Brooks orangnya humble sama selow, kalo nggk mah drummer mana coba yg gak gerah kalau fansnya selalu banding2in sama drummer lama. Emang udah paling bener Brooks jd penggantinya, dan kalian harus bersyukur
itu mah cuma fans fomo aja, gua fans A7x dr 2004 aja respect banget ama Brooks, lagian ketukan dia di album the Stage ama LIBAD ini berkarakter banget…belum lg kmrn pas main di indonesia variasi dia di Little piece of heaven oke banget
@@DustyGlandon well yeah I’m aware I’m a drummer myself but he looks so effortless every time he plays, I was just pointing out it’s part of his play style
that's just the echo and delay from the venue, in the audience it's not like that mostly due to the camera being behind the speaker system which are very directional
Brooks and Jimmy are both amazing drummers, but it’s futile to compare them. They have such different styles. Jimmy was a Metal drummer, Brooks is a Punk drummer. They’re both amazing at what they do
Great drumming by Brooks but he’s hardly being challenged compared to the stuff he was playing with Bad Religion and before that with Suicidal Tendencies but you can hear the marked difference in quality.
There’s no bad religion song that comes even close to the complexity of brooks drum parts in the song the stage lol. What are you talking about? Also I’m a huge bad religion fan
Ghost notes make certain grooves easier to keep in time. Tomas Jake does ghost notes in a ton of Meshuggah songs, you can’t hear them on record but you can see him doing it in live videos
Brooks is great but just not a fan of how it feels like he's jamming over a backing track rather than being faithful to the parts that have been written.
@@MichaelWoljevachJimmy was Brooks fan, they even met back in the day, A7X need to leave nostalgia to the side, Brooks has been 8 years with the band now, almost the same as Jimmy, I know it hurts to accept it… Brooks is way cleaner when playing, that’s why the Rev looked up to him
