Meinl Cymbals - Brody Taylor Smith - "As If It Never Was" by Invent Animate 

pretty sure he didnt write the drum parts, he’s just performing them while the band’s drummer plays for another gig

@@davidm5415 I obviously don’t know shit about the band. But I’ve seen quite a few of this guys videos he’s done for Meinl. I find it weird that the bands ACTUAL drummer is not performing the songs for their own band in an official promo cuz they’re “doing something else”. Sounds more like an EX Drummer to me. I only know I really dug the playing & WHOEVER wrote it came up with some sick shit so Props to that dude too.

@@jolemite2639 Trey wrote the parts and Brody plays live for them, Trey performs live with Fit for a King but remains the main song writer for Invent Animate Trey is in all of the music videos, but they have a new video coming out soon with Brody playing drums and Trey on guitar because he wrote the song

@@shrity93 Right on man. Thanks for the schoolin’ 👍 Good band. Is it all instrumental or only for the drum playthroughs?

@@jolemite2639 I know too much about this band 😂 it’s just instrumental for the play throughs and they have instrumental versions of most of their albums

division 1 professional hater

@@saturn5718 No way, bro! Love me some half notes!

whole notes on the snare if you wanna get all technical about it lol. even busy music is built around the pulses of wholer subdivisions like quarters and wholes so yea i guess you do love some half notes ​@@ryancox5097

it sounds so good, now i almost wish that was in the studio version. sounds fucking amazing

This is Brody’s last video for awhile unfortunately :/ hopefully Meinl does another session with him in the future

(Austin archey, lang zhao, Forrest rice)

This is Brody’s personal snare he uses. He uses it faithfully live as well. It’s an amazing snare to have! Newer doesn’t always mean better, this snare kicks ass

@@MannyMo_ I haven't played the 14x3.5 in person but the 14x5.5 is my go-to as well

I'm glad you just state it as your own opinion, because man.. it's among my absolute favorites.

@@unison_moody not sure what I’m missing, might have to listen 5 more times and then it’ll click for me

@@SothorosDjents Well, I especially like the shoegaze influence, the atmospheric background track and the emotions which end into that climax in the end. Maybe next time you hear the song you can resonate.

@@unison_moody honestly it’s already growing on me. Thanks for pointing out those aspects in particular as those are all appealing to me.

@@SothorosDjentsit’s one of those growers but once it’s grows omg it’s amazing
