The thing I love most about this whole series is the huge amount of cross-genre respect that comes out in every episode. Be into whatever it is that you're into but at the end of the day, music is music.

Bring this guy back. He was so good.

I caught myself just smiling listening to his final outro play. You can hear his metal genre mixing with the pop and it sounds so good!

I don’t have the hangups with Imagine Dragons that some folks do. But, Art’s drum part makes this song sound so much cooler.

@MashaT22 6 дней назад

Totally amazing how the drums can totally change the vibe of a song. I love what Art brought to the table! And then seeing Art’s reaction to hearing what the original drum track sounds like is cool. Drumeo needs to get more of the original artists to react to seeing other drummers play their songs!

The one I’d want to see more than anything is Danny Carey reacting to Dennis Chambers playing Schism.

I read the video title and just thought, "Poor bastard."

@Chooopy 6 дней назад

I was the opposite. He's never heard Imagine Dragons before? Lucky bastard.

@Vesdus 6 дней назад

And then you hear the song and realize it's one of the worst Imagine Dragons songs as well... Poor bastard.

That was awesome. 2B views? Never heard of the song or band. Lamb of God? Respect!

@stephaniegrehan9084 3 дня назад

Oh that sounded SO good! He's just having fun with it and making it more epic.

That was great, I need that second take on an audio platform. My kids love that song so now we get to listen to Art's take on it and see what happens.

The song repeats “thunder, thunder, thunder”, but he was the only one to bring any thunder. Better than the original

That little fill with the triplets on the snare got me right back to marching band days.

This was amazing, he was clearly having so much fun, an so were we!

First comes the tune, doesn't let any room for silence really that's the point...then comes Art listening to it, "can go a lot of different ways"...then he embraces the challenge and fills every tiny space there is while adapting his playing, starting heavy and rich then lightening it up on the go, but overall having so much fun doing this! Those videos are a constant lesson of where we're going musically and how we do it! thanks Drumeo and Art for this!

As someone who isn't a fan of the original song, I really liked Art's version! Always love the first time content Drumeo!

My absolutely favorite kind of video

@tylerdurden5406 6 дней назад

This is such a fantastic interpretation of the song. I love these videos because it’s such an interesting insight into music collaboration and how just 1 person can change the feel so much.
