Oceans Ate Alaska - "Escapist" Drum Playthrough 

Is the camera guy on a boat?

one of the most underrated, yet one of the best and most technical drummers out there. \m/

"Chris, what's the tempo of this song?" Chris: "Yes."

The ghost notes have ghost notes

He looks like he can't believe he is playing this...

The best drummer in the scene right now, in my opinion

What in the actual is that one-handed snare roll at 2:56...My mind is actually blown. Easily one of the best metal drummers alive right now

1:34 - 1:36 The only part that I can play

I honestly can’t comprehend the skill that this guy possesses. He has got to be one of the best drummers in metal music at the moment.

If in the near future the safety of planet earth comes down to interplanetary drum battle..i vote him to represent earth :p

This guy is insane. Oceans Ate Alaska need to do like 5 more albums with this dude

This can't be humanly possible!

This man is truly a master of his craft. This drumming is on another level. The thing I like about his playing is it never comes off as repetitive or boring.

Every single aspect about this entire album is absolutely orgasmic. I'm more than obsessed with this band now haha

it's like he sees something we don't...

Chris is a very cool dude I talked to him for a while at a show a few years ago and he was awesome.

Chris Turner inspired me to quit drumming

Before I clicked I was like "oh well, time to feel terrible about my drumming now" 😂

Can't remember the last time I saw a single musician so far ahead of the talent of his band.

Probably watched this 100 times still blows my mind every time

You must release an instrumental version of the album

He is a machine He is a robot

I have those socks...still can't play this

Probably needed an oil change after this....

Holy... I'm definitely have to check out more of this drummer's works. He's beyond amazing!

This robot looks like a human

I am a pretty decent drummer, but Chirs astounds me... the part at 4:14 kept throwing me off, trying to figure out what he was doing, because he's not playing a normal straight pattern on the crashes. He's playing a couple beats and then a rest in a specific pattern, with the first beat 1 on a different crash. The pattern being 2, 2, 3, 2 (a rest after each number of crash hits.... while doing random snare hits on top... 🤯 Chris... you are an alien robot... 👽🤖🥁

I've watched this video at least fifty times now, and the more I watch it, the more I realize that it's not absolutely perfect, and that's what's so amazing about it.

Somehow, this tops Chris' High Horse cover. This one is now replacing it as my favorite video on RU-vid. Its like no matter how many times you watch it you catch something you didn't notice before! Insane.

Producer: "What genre were you guys thinking for this song?" Band: "Yes."

You don’t see a lot of core drummers utilize “blushda” fills. So technical. Incredible.

Over half a decade later and I still fall out of my seat every time that little fill at 1:29 comes around. Playing triplets that clean over 32nd note kicks shoudn't be possible, yet here we are

CAPCHA: Please verify you're human. Chris: -sweats heavily as he's never had to answer this before-

waiting on that guitar playthrough 😌

Such cool parts. Feels like he wrote it out and then refined every single section to perfection.

Turner's playing bring to my mind's eye the image of a bunch of notes endlessly rolling off a table like balls, tumbling, yet somehow assembling themselves into a sophisticated structure before they hit the floor. This brother is a walking metric modulation clinic. 👍👍👍👍

lol he even broke out the brushes. This dude can do it all.

I got bored of metal drumming, and then I found this guy. I am invigorated!

One of the best Metal Audio recordings ever made. Somebody please promote this!!

That cascade across all the cymbals just before the end was icing on the cake. Solid. Freaking cyborg.

Unreal..so stoked for this album

Words haven’t been invented to describe how skilled this guy is

Mad respect for that bass drum speed without heel toe and still just straight power.

Chris Turner is probably the most talented drummer I have ever seen, keep on rocking, Chris Turner!!

I didn't realize how much the vocal Melody made the chorus until now

That gravity blast stuff will playing seperate rhythms with his other hand and kicks... Insane..

This guy's a machine ! Love the style and technic

This deserves more views and comments. My favorite drum video out of the 500+ I have watched.

The best drummer

the monster of the drumms

Been searching youtube for a video like this every single day since the song came out, thank you so much

One of the best drummers in the game till this dayyy🔥🤘

0:30-0:40 hits EVERY TIME. I try to make sure no one’s talking for at least that 10 seconds when I show them this.

favourite reptilian ever

Plays fast, technical, heavy music. Hits like a truck. Still manages to provide nuance, dynamics and groove.

Dude is an absolute beast!! Double bass skills off-the-chain!! He rocked the hell out of that piece!! Love it!!

If he ever can't tour they'll just have to shut down. Nobody else can play this

I've probably watched this video 100 times now, and the entire time I thought he had slide sandals on, but they're just socks hahaha.

Chris Turner, you are the best drummer in the metalcore scene right now. no fucking questions asked

Dude Chris you kill, bustin out the brushes good lord that is savage. You hold it man, one of the best

I like the christmas turtle on the back :)

The fact that he pulled out brushes should alone tell you how versatile he is. Amazing drummer, damn.

Bruv is playing this in slides. Absolutely mental.

I love this video so much. Those China's sound so amazing. This drummer is by far my favorite

simplemente brutal!!!

Looks like he's loosened up some haha. I'm not going to knock on his style because it's working for him. Dude is insane.

Sounds soooooo much better live, can't wait to see them again in August!

ive only just discovered him recently, but hes one of the greatest ive ever seen.

Im guessing he takes his shoes off when he plays bc they catch fire

When your drummer goes Super Saiyan level 4...

The fact has playing like this in slides makes it so much better. He's an amazing drummer

*_His CPU is a neural net processah―a learning computah._*

I dont know if anyone asked already but..he plays this whole song in flip flops? like..damn

Chris Turner, you are unreal. Keep it up, can't wait to hear the rest of Hikari. Preorder on wait!

Dude is just next fucking level. And that is literally the culmination of hard work and determination. Hats off man, you make it look easy, as a person who’s played professionally, for almost 15 years, I can tell you it’s hard as fuck

Truly a piece of art, drummer's porn

I was confident about my drumming skills until I saw this

It sounds really natural. I love DW. The kick is awesome. Yes, it is not soo punchy like triggere stuff, but it sounds very natural. Awesome performance.

Can't wait to see them live

I can only play 0:08

holy shit... wtf?

He deserves every recognition that is available in this world!

" Chris, how many fills you can put on a song?" Chris : " Yes "

Pause at 3:05 to see a cameraman on acid

so far the most inhuman drummer chris (ocean ate alaska) & aaron kitcher (infant anhilator). #NODOUBT

Why people dislike this video ??? This is pure work, technic and talent ! Insane Man 🥁

Absolutely phenomenal playing!😊

this music could be the ending song in the movie Whiplash....

Jesus!

That snare sounds absolutely fantastic!

Wow I really love being able to hear those cymbals loud and clear

This guy is to drums as Asians are to math.

Why shake the camera. Jesus christ stay still

For myself personally, Chris Turner is my biggest influence in drumming. Several other drummers who were mentioned in the comments are particular influences of mine as well. If I may elaborate by sharing my personal opinion, The most important aspect to me is not their talent, as much as it is who they are as individual people. I completely admire and commend all of their dedication and diligence, however at the end of the day, regardless of what your capabilities are, all that matters is who you are as a person. From several of the drummers who were mentioned and who I have watched interviews from so far, they seem very humble and down-to-earth.

Amazing drummer and band...

I love this drummer but i cant enjoy this video as much as his other play throughs cause of this camera work

The camerawork gives me anxiety and makes my eyes hurt.

He doesn't let any of the drums go to waste does he 🤘😜🤘

my favorite band/drummer kick ass

I think I need to quit drumming now…
