Meinl Cymbals - Brann Dailor - "Ghost of Karelia" 

Love the fill from 0:00 to 5:15

Who else here just wants him to go ahead and do every Mastodon song?

Brann's the only one in Mastodon who doesn't look like he's aged 30 years lmao. Troy turned into a greying wizard, Bill turned into an 1800's Pinkerton agent, Brent looks like an alcoholic uncle, but Brann still looks 30 lol

I appreciate how sparingly Brann uses double bass. Some metal drummers just ride it all day and it gets so boring. When he does it, it really stands out.

This is one of the best albums of the 2000s.

This guys runs himself ragged on the drums and writes incredibly complicated shit and when you see him play he just has the biggest smile ever on his face. He clearly loves what he does and so do we!

He can flickity flam those drums

Such an underrated drummer.

Brann: literally using every muscle in his body while playing extremely complex rhythms. Also Brann: Fuck it, I’m the lead singer now too. Nothing but respect lol

Please play the entire Crack the Skye album like this. Outstanding performance like always

PUT SOME BUTTER ON THEM DAMN ROLLS

Mastodon would not be Mastodon without Brann. What a beast of a player. So creative. I just love his lines.

Definitely my favorite drummer. The "organized chaos" style... madness from start to finish, but madness with PRECISION

The great thing about brann is that he uses the drums as an instrument, not a metronome like so many other bands

How Brann is able to do a whole set of songs like this will forever be a mystery to me. it. is. hard.

that's the snare sound I WANT

My buddies and I met Brann after a show (in Minneapolis on their Primus tour) and he was the nicest dude, totally made our night as we are all huge fan of Mastodon.

Possibly my favourite moment on the whole Crack The Skye album : " Sinister Twin! Choking on Fear....Bonded Iron Sink to the core....! " Chills every time.

Brann's fills are 💯 signature. I love his chops 🥩🪓 and his look is totally rock-'n'-roll 🙏

He the busiest beaver of a drummer I've ever seen.

This kit is so beautiful

Awesome! Now let's see that prog breakdown in The Last Baron!

I met him at a show in Portland. He was in the audience watching baroness and he was standing right next to my friend and I. I told him he was a drum God. He was super appreciative and he hung out there until shortly before their set. Super cool dude.

Love the bass drum head. Rodney dangerfield and Redd Foxx

Brann's activity on the drums is unparalleled. The man is a machine!

I play bass and have no idea how people can have that level of coordination to play drums like this. It’s wizardry.

The most expressive drummer of these times!

I am vibing SO HARD with those toms

this entire album was a stroke of musical genius, it doesn't get enough credit as the masterpiece it truly is

I'm from Karelia and my ghost wants to say: This playthrough is AMAZING !

What a kit. What a song. What a man.

I'm not a drummer but could obviously recognize how good Brann is. But actually watching him play is mind blowing and has brought him up even higher level for me

Love how he can add so much color in his playing and play very busy beats and it never sounds like “overplaying”.

Brann is such an amazingly talented drummer. Dude can fill any space with those drums. Its truly a remarkable skill set to behold.

The dynamic range he gets on his snare rolls is so fucking sick. Got damn.

This album was so impactful. It sounds timeless, like it always existed, yet is still fresh today. Just an absolute masterpiece. I never tire of it.

“Dang ol good drummer on them dang ol skins man, tell you what”

You can really tell Brann was getting so into the groove while he was banging those drums. He looks so full of glee and I don't blame him, if I could play at his level I'd love to just knock out songs like it's nothing.

As soon as i saw Red and Rodney i was like yeah, dude is definitely gonna wield

I remember seeing Mastodon live once and they played all of crack the skye and it was so incredibly loud and powerful, it was at that show that I knew what it meant to be truly face-melted

I see Brann, I click. Good job!

Dear Brann, please consider uploading the rest of Crack the skye as well.

Brann is a living legend.

That bass drum is holding on for dear life!

You sir, Complete me. Please do ALL the songs like this! Please. God I Love Mastodon.

One of the best-sounding drummers out there today

Love watching Brann, he's such a fun drummer. All of the guys in Mastodon are just awesome.

That blast beat at 4:15 was completely uncalled for but totally necessary and I love it..

Absolute beast of a drummer. It takes an insane amount of work to make it look that easy!

Brann is a powerhouse, but I love when he slows down even more. The steambreather opening maybe one of the meatiest yet groovy drum tracks ever.

Finding this video a couple years later, wouldn't mind seeing Brann come back to do "Pushing the Tides." SOOO MUCH insane stuff going on in the song; I need to see how he pulls it off!

Brann has got to be one of the most underrated drummers in metal right now!

One of my favorite Drummers

Since his first video i've been waiting for this song!!

Brann Dailor's kit is EVERYTHING!!

FINALLY one of these videos where they have Brann fully locked in and playing the song with great quality

His playing makes me weep tears of joy.

You can tell he really loves this song, this is so cool to watch.

I love how all of the members of Mastodon can geek out on their gear. It’s no wonder every album sounds amazing.

I've been waiting for this playthrough for a long time. His featherlight touches on the Ghostrider are just trippy.

That KIt is amazing!

He is one of the best. I love watching him play.

For his sake I hope they don’t play this one live too much, I’m exhausted just watching

My favourite drummer ❤

His drums are beautiful. I mean just look at the colors

Brann Dailor is like the Mitch Mitchell of metal. Very busy playing, but always with a clear beat and groove, i.e. the busyness never gets in the way of the songs, but elevates it. Awesome shit ❤

Please! Upload "The Last Baron"!

Holy shit, why did the drums not sound this good on the record? That kit is fucking spectacular, and the mastering on this recording is absolutely incredible! I don't even play the drums and I'm ready to order Meinl cymbals.

I want to become as great as Brann one day. Discovered these Mastodon demos less than three days ago, and I've already been blown away by Brann's playing. Truly an amazing drummer.

This album saved my life.

this man could beat a bag of potatoes with a stick. . and i would listen and watch. respect. one of my all time favorite drummers.. . .ever!!!!!!

I had the honor and privilege of casually chatting with Brann at my friend's house in Memphis, where the band crashed that night. I asked him to show me the drum line from "Honor" by Today Is The Day, and later they played a CD (or tape) of their new music... March Of The Fire Ants. Also learned he was in an Elvis Costello cover band. I have no regerts.

Cannot overstate how GREAT this band is, this LP is and how AMAZING this dude's drumming is AND fits their music. 🤘

I already know this guy is a beast, but after more experience in music to understand their music better I declare this guy Godzilla on drums. Love Brann and love Mastodon.

I love the paint job on those drums,they remind me of 70s custom cars.

Ghost of Karelia absolutely fucking rips, one of my favorite songs ever.

IMO probably the most underrated drummer/band

My first listen to Mastadon. Music is just so tasty, so textured. This guy Brann is unbelievable. Control of push, and release is freakin’ awesome.

Funny little story: I luckily got to meet Brann when they were touring with Slayer and the Jäger fest. I met him a few times when they were touring in FL and always had him sign the back of my license. When I asked him if he remembered me, he was like yeah i remember signing your license! Of course the dude seen so many people, so I understand he was just saying that most likely, but then again, maybe he did remember me. That was back in 05’ or 06’ great times. And what a beast on the drums!

Such density and groove. Supurbositous.

Listening from Karelia! 🤘🔥

Mr. ghost note / snare rolls is awesome! his playing is so busy but beatiful.

it took myself awhile to comprehend that the gear you possess is not what makes the drummer-it's what you do with what you have, that makes one a drummer.

I don't care for meinl cymbals but this guy is a tremendous player. His set looks sick and sounds great. Oh wait this was about the cymbals? They sounded pretty good.

As tasteful as beastly, one of the best today!

This guy is really good at Mastodon songs.

Literally my fav Mastodon song🔥🔥

These videos featuring Brann gave two awesome gifts... Mastodon's music and desire to change my cymbal setup to Meinl. 🤘❤

What an amazing drum kit. Godamn. Epic for putting Fred Sanford on there

One of my favorite drummers out there

One of the more interesting kits I’ve seen.

One of the if not the hardest working hardrock drummer. I cant compare him to someone like george kolias but thats diff genre . This guy is insanely talented

I went to a signing at Zia records here in Vegas, the band were the coolest dudes!

One of my favorite drummers, progressive drummers are built different

My favorite drummer on Earth today! Every time I get the pleasure of watching this man perform live, it’s an absolute treat.

This dude looks like he'd be a bartender at Chili's

Twinkle Toes holding it down! Great video. Thanks MEINL!

Epic drummer, band, song....

Its insane seeing it live lol Dude is a machine

i don't understand how he can play hour plus long shows like this! it's insane! and also insanely good!
