Meinl Cymbals - Brann Dailor - "Ember City" 

Mastodon: Brann, please stop playing single-stroke rolls. Brann: hehehe toms go brrrrrr

He sure can flickety-flam them drums

Brann is invited to dinner... coming through with them buttery rolls.

“Dang’ ol drummin man I’ll tell you what man he can really hit them dang ol drums man” -Boomhauer

the bass mix in this video is better than the actual album. as a bassist, thank you meinl.

One of my top 5 drummers. Every song he plays is so full and non-stop

Bran I think you accidentally played a back beat here between fill 467 and fill 468. Might want to put a fill there.

Yeah them cymbals sound fantastic but holy cow the mixing is outstanding

Also - in case you didn't know - It's Brann singing the chorus.

I had thought for quite a while that current music had nothing to offer for me anymore until I heard Mastodon. Songs like this give me a new sense of hope that there is still more out there to find and enjoy.

This man has the best drum sound in modern metal... hands down.

This is what I imagine Lars thinks he sounds like when he adds in those random, off time fills

I really like when he uses the wooden things to hit the shiny and colorful things.

I have no words for the talent he displays…he sings while doing this…it’s insane.

This is a context in which blasting fills on every measure works...busy ? Definitely. Overplaying ? No. It works beautifully with Mastodon 's prog metal leanings....this guy is one of the greatest drummers on our planet.

I remember bumping into Brann at a King Diamond concert and realizing just how big of a fan he is of the music. So glad to have had the opportunity to meet him, super nice and insanely humble. The best.

what I love about Brann's drumming is his filler can be completely different each time and it still melts my face.

Damn Jared from Drumeo has really improved

One of the nicest and most humble musicians I've ever met

Song length = 6:18 Brann Dailor Drum fills = 6:14

If you drum like Bran you'll always be in shape.

0:04 When you are Brann Dailor and you hit the hi hat just cause you had half a second spare time.

Being amazed that this guy drums this well is one thing. Realising he sings while playing like this is mind blowing. One of the best in the business!! Possibly one of the best there has ever been.

My mam gave me the gift of life. Brann Dailor gave me the will to live it ♥️

lovin the dangerfield and foxx bassdrum head.. youre a legend brann!!

Blows my mind that he’s this good AND he sings. Brann is a savant.

I wish they had these awesome professionally recorded performances back in the early days.

Herta and 32nd note fills at high tempo. Oh and sing a chorus over that at the same time. Yeah, this guy is a beast

Dude threw me his drumstick when i went to the hunter heritage show. I am now a monstar

I bet those drums need a cig after that....

Where do drummers get that kind of energy from. Not just him but a lot of good drummers seem to have incredible energy to move so fast and accurately. It blows my mind for people to be that energetic. I want that!

That final china hit is awesome.

Absolute beast!! Love this band and especially Brann’s drumming, good lord🤘🏼

Two words I spitted out at the end of the concert in Warsaw - FUCK YEAH BRANN

More! More! More! How much for entire Mastodon catalogue done like this vid??!?!

Nothing like the smooth finish of barrel-aged hi hats :)

I just can't get enough of these playthrough. He's incredible! Jazz hands all over all the kit!!

So much talent.

He gave me a fist bump at devin's show in Atlanta earlier this year. I felt like some of his power transferred to me.

He may not be as technical as certain metal drummers (at least when it comes to playing on Mastodon songs, I haven't heard him play otherwise) but he still has mad skills. Some people might say he 'over drums' sometimes, but I think it still fits the music. Also, I love how his drumming has a much larger focus on the hands, compared to many metal drummers than focus more on the feet. In any case, a great drummer. One of my favourites. And that kit sounds absolutely beautiful (though it definitely helps that he is playing it).

This Man is a savage, one of the best drummers.

Brann Dailor!! a fundamental piece when it comes to establishing the sound of mastodon.

He really blended both of his styles on this song. Groove and following the guitars with crazy drum rolls.

The freaking tone man wow

Best performer / musician ever seen! UNBELIEVABLE what an artist!!!!🤡🤡

Brann Dailor is The single light I look to during this quarantine lockdown. Thank you for your brilliance my man. The sun squints when he marvels at you.

Fun fact: Brann wrote the lyric "they see me rollin', they hating"

One of my top 10 songs from these guys. I love the rhythm behind the solos

I was always amazed at how a drummer's mind works. I understand guitar, but drums are a mystery to me, and seeing Brann perform adds a deeper level of appreciation for the complexity of his drumming. I often feel that his drumming after the Hunter got worse, but vids like this really help me see that it is as tight as ever and actually more mature than before (where his drumming would stand out quite obviously on songs like Battle At Sea, but now it's more like an underlying background but no less intricate). Guy's a natural self-taught genius.

Always impressed by Mr. Dailor. Wow!

Brann just makes you want to be a drummer

Awesome playing and incredible sound as ever. Great song. These videos are amazing, keep them coming!

One of my favorite drummers! The paint job on his kit just killer! Loving that metalflake lowrider vibe.🤘

Me and my buddy drove like 4 hours to see the guys play and when they busted out this song we lost our shit 🤘 worth every single penny and also one of the best experiences I've ever had

Hell yes, more Brann Video release. Thank for the upload Meinl Cymbals.

I'm not even a drummer but dam i love watching Brann. He's awesome

When an ocotopus achieves homo sapien like form: Danny Carey, Tomas Haake, Brann Dailor.

He"s just simply the BEST!!!!!

Dude has always had a killer drum sound.

Great job Brann. Love the kit too!

ive followed brann since the today is the the day in the eyes of God that shit ruled my life got to see mastodon in a dive bar in 02-03 there was less than 10 people there this was hickory NC and there from ATL so I got to see them more than any other band I've seen live so much fun its been to long I need to go see them on there next tour please don't forget

Everytime he's about to say Proud I almost laugh smiling. He's always had that charm

One of my favourite all-time youtube videos. love it.

Who mixed this?! Oh my f.... god it sound so f.... good!

Makes me appreciate the Mastobrann Vater 5B stick I was given even more. Thank you, sir.

Still one of the sickest kits I have ever seen. Get em Brann.

Best Danny Carey interview yet. I really enjoyed it

Amazing drum mix!

Brann is easily my favorite current drummer. His style is soo distictly his own. Mastodon is also one of my top current bands for the same reasons. Love how they've evolved over the years.

We want more from Brann!!! Pay the man.

The man is a machine, keeps getting better with each record.

Brann’s snare: Ow

Watching him drum is so damn pleasurable (obviously it’s the whole mastodon vibe as well) ! Tripped balls once to one of their albums. Think I crapped my pants

Bran Dailer is the best drummer alive. I really want to see Mastadon and Underoath preform together. My heart would EXPLODE!

Ive seen Mastodon live more then any other band and i cant wait to see them again!!! Brann is a total fucking beast!!

You got so much vibrancy and great sound too

I hope there's so many more Brann videos left to come. I've watched the Blasteroid one countless times.

As always, this sounds incredible! Such power and precision

I like to set the tempo to 0.75 when watching him play. Makes me feel not quite as inadequate as a drummer... 😅

He's my favourite drummer. Great fun to listen to; love the fills and groove. Supreme stuff👍 Also; that drum kit might want to call it's parents afterwards and tell the good news🤓.

That is one crazy looking kit....Dangerfield and Foxx??? Ok then...nice. Wait, is that a Hammond B3 back there? Father's a keyboard player, like 78yrs old now...still crushes it on the keyboards.

Great song, great vocals, great fills, great beats, what's not to like?

i wish all the Mastodon song were mixed like this.

Cymbals Sound Sweet!!! just like the drums

Before watching this video, I had no idea how many ghost notes Brann plays. His left hand is truly haunted.

Man there is something beautiful and crisp about his drumming style. He's busy AF but it always works. Love it. Cymbals sound great too!

Just looked Portnoy's video and get bored after 3 minutes This one is on one breath. Outstanding. Love Brann and Mastodon. With love from Russia

Brann goes through snare heads like a taco shop goes through paper towels.

5:49 This aged well

Jazz drummer. Love the style

Brann was also pretty incredible with Today Is The Day.

One of the greats

easily one of my favorite personages in metal!

Very tasteful chops!!!

One of me fave mastodon songs.

Extraordinary drummer since their first release. ✊ 🎶 🖤

The true GOAT/MVP

This dudes drumming doesn’t just speak to me, it yells at me. Man what a great drummer. And he seems like just a sweet as fun dude to chill with

One does not simply watch Brann Dailor's Drum videos once. You watch it a few times a year.

IT LOOKS LIKE HIS TOMS ARE UP SIDE DOWN OR WHAT, OR THE TOM MOUNTS ARE IN THE LOW PART OF TOM?!OMG THIS GUY IS SOMETHIN UNIQUE...
