11:35 Could you please tell Steve to watch his hearing and never do that again… hearing loss, damage, tinnitus and hyperacusis are still such a taboo amongst musicians. As a result many face very difficult problems later in life (or not so late in life… 😞).
I have been a drummer for 40 years and I got to say your dynamics are amazing and the up close and personal drum playing is great . I love the sound. Awesome job bro.
I love these POV videos showing a day in the life of a rock band's concert!!!! Had my eyes glued to the screen the whole time! The genuine commentary was the cherry on top! Please do more!!!
you’re one of my biggest hero’s, i recently played a concert and learning from you has been one of my best decisions. So happy for your success, keep rocking man!
Gabe, you have no idea how we appreciate these kind of videos! It's so good to see the whole band and the behind-the-scenes stuff. Brian, Eric, Dylan, Steve and you! There is so much inspiration for me in this video.
I’ve been following you on here since before you joined I Prevail. I remember when you announced it I was so excited because I Prevail was recently added to my daily playlist. All of this to say I really enjoy your content and these Tour Vlogs are amazing. Keep rocking!!!
Great to see the behind-the-scenes for this! I was at the Sydney Good Things show - my first time seeing I Prevail. You guys were so good! One of the highlights of my day for sure.
I was front row at this show in Brisbane! Absolutely killed it at both the sideshow and the festival, and Eric drinking from the leg was the cherry on top to a perfect day! I saw you wearing the Gopro and my dreams came true when I knew I was gonna be in a Drum Beats Online vlog. Love from Aus!!!
Gabe that made my day!!!! I love those POV's!!! You're such a Diva with those bandaids 😂 jk, this was amazing and you deserve all of it! You're an incredible drummer, teacher and human being and I can't think of a better place to learn drum than the DBO Family!!!! Thank you Brother! 🙌 Stay True 🔥🥁🔥
Gabe, I could watch these kind of videos FOREVER 🙏 What a great show to end a tour, and a shoey out of a prosthetic leg is really a story for your grandchildren! 👍 Thx for these videos, I really appreciate it and best wishes from Germany 🇩🇪, Philipp 👋
Saw you guys with my mom last year before she passed from cancer! it was such an awesome show and the memories we made that night are ones I'll cherish forever \m/
I love watching the amazing job you do in an amazing band, having the chest cam is a brilliant idea it makes us the viewers really feel like we are there! LOVE THIS SO MUCH!
Good Things Brisbane was my second time seeing you guys live and it was once again one of the best moments I think I've ever had. It's always a real treat to see you guys live and it's so good to see the behind the scenes and POV shots of the show!
While I’m not the biggest fan of this genre of music, or a drummer, it’s so cool to see what it’s like on the other side of concerts! Keep on making music, it’s what makes the world go round!
19:50 talking about making mistakes on stage. I played in a few small bands as a bassist and keyboard player. The first time I ever played a show it was to like 15 people and my first mistake, by trying to go into a bridge or chorus too soon I dont remember its been 20 years, I just naturally was able to laugh it off, wait a beat and then come back in. I kept that same routine for a while then I tried to not even acknowledge when I messed up by keeping a straight face and that is much harder it felt weird. But I would always watch the crowd and no matter how big or small when you mess up like half the audience knows you messed up and looks at you with that confused smirk and trying to act like it didn't happen made them just stare so I went back to laughing it off every time. But I will never forget my 8th show. We were opening for A Day to Remember (before they took off) in this tiny venue in tulsa called the pink eye and the lead singer was standing front and center. As soon as I messed up he locked eyes with me and looked pissed but was still nodding his head to the music with his arms crossed. It was the most awkward I have ever felt on stage like a deer in headlights lol. Sorry for the essay lol.
If you watch the Rush Show of Hands, you’ll even see Neil Peart screw up Spirit of Radio… and Alex Lifeson is laughing at him real time… even the virtuosos flub every once in a while. Amazing recovery… if you didnt know the song you would have never noticed it.
Bro I was at the Melbourne Good Things Festival and saw I Prevail then. I have been a fan for a while, but it was the first time I had seen I Prevail live. Loved the show, and loved the mosh pits! Can’t wait to see I Prevail again at the Melbourne Parkway Drive Concert!
You are such a genuinely kind young man. I've been a metal head since 1971. I've heard of you guys but hadn't given you guys much thought. Sorry. Your attitude and personality kept me here and now, I'm about to get very familiar with your music. Thank You.
Just got two wisdom tooth pulled today and watching this video helped in taking my mind off the pain. I enjoy how you were able to cut your day into clips that includes some small shenanigans that keeps me entertained. I'm going to start binge watching if you got anymore in store on your channel. Congrats on your tour!
So Gabe, in a past life I was a drummer. Played some East Bay warehouse shows then was accepted to USAF OCS and got to chase my dream of flying. Gave the wife and fam a tour of non-exciting Air Force bases for a while until I realized the US MIC may not be a force for good in the world. Seems like so many lifetimes ago, now just a retired middle aged beat up pilot back in the rat race trying to get his girls a proper launch on their paths. Was intrigued by this and watched all the way through and quickly became a fan, bought my first iPrevail CD today. Thank you for sharing your private time with us. What a talented "young man" you are, you seem like a pretty nice guy and it's always a pleasure to see nice guys live out their dreams. Keep up the good work, break a leg and all that and watch those blisters! All the best, God Bless.
I love the fact that at the lull in playing at 16:00 you can visibly see how hard your heart is pounding, and see your hands shaking. The adrenaline and nerves of performing like this must be absolutely insane.
I picked up my first set of sticks at the age of 5 yrs. old and got behind the set and started banging away! it's been in my blood ever since and will continue to be till the day I die. I would rock myself to sleep as a young boy listening to hard rock hits in the early 80's while fantasizing about this exact moment. Thanx guys for the sound and visual!! What an awesome experience it must be. Got it cranked up.
As soon as you mentioned loving a good tom build, I was immediately thinking of worship music. Love being a metal drummer and a worship drummer as I like mixing the two without people expecting it sometimes.
I was at this show in Brisbane and you guys were epic! I hadn’t heard any I Prevail songs prior to the festival but you guys are now headlining my Spotify playlist 🤟🏼
I randomly saw this song in my recommended, I was new to drumming and I was looking at previous tutorials so it made sense, I clicked it, and oh my god I have a new favorite band, I am going to see you guys live whenever you come to Brisbane, and you are INCREDIBLE at the drums, I aspire to play like you one day honestly.
Full POV of Gasoline PLEASE!!!! You're such an inspiring band guys. I really love you all. Your songs are relatable to me and saved my life. I really have to thank you guys to exist!!!
That Brisbane humidity is a killer. Especially mid December. Glad to see some festivals still getting big crowds, the Good Things Lineup was a cracker.
You are the main reason I started drumming, your POVs inspired me so much. Once i saw body bag, it was crazy and looked up to it. And now I am starting a band of my own :) Thank you.
Man, I'm the singer and rythm guitar for a really small band, but we just dropped our first EP and we're starting to play around in our zone and everytime I get on a stage I feel that tummy ache and strange feeling that I LOVE! I loved this POV video with all the Venue and stuff because I try to imagine being in that situation, playing in fron of 40,000 people, that I feel the same tummy ache even from home!!! LOVED IT!
This was fucking ace. Had tickets to see the Trauma tour in 2019 in Manchester, then you know what happened, finally got to see it in 23. Was so worth the wait. Incredible performers. Hoping there's a tour next year :)
You're an inspiration, my dude. Thank you for posting things like this that give some insight into what it's like to do some high-level touring. Hoping and praying that one day I'll be able to do something similar.
That just looks awesome! I'm not a spotlight fan but seeing the POV of some one who's in it is something different and kinda cool! Another way I see it is the fans get to see what you guys do before and after the gig which lifts the veil off of a pro musicians life on the road. It's just cool to see and different!
That is some insane work, been a casual drummer for like 7-8 years, won't ever be even close to this level even if I do it for like 20 years, it's truely amazing. My favorite one is Bad Things though! Keep it up I love you guys
Message for the drummer. Please please please please please do a full POV of choke and do as much improvisation as you can❤️❤️ I love you. You will always be my favourite drummer ❤️❤️❤️
I know that it's a hard job, and you get super tired, but bro.. what a dream!!! Live off music, playing drums, that's super awesome!!! I missed my days playing concerts. Keep pushing, I hope to see you live someday.
Such a nice and "good vibing" video. Thanks a lot. So good to read someone telling he's living what he dreamed of for so long. Keep it up. Cheers from France.
This brings back memories when I was drumming with ex-Eidolon members in Canada. We were scheduled to open for MIchael Schenker, but for some reason he wasn't able to secure a Canadian work VISA and the whole thing was called off. By that time the band had moved to Kitchener and I was still in Toronto so I exited the band and never got the chance. You've made your dream come true, well done!
Man that show was killer! Thanks for bringing us along with ya! As a life long drummer, I appreciate this so so very much!!! Health issues took away my ability to perform, but I still write a bunch of music, just digitally. Either way, I am still chasing my dreams! Mad props bro!
I actually have been a drummer myself for 11 years (I stopped 2 years ago) and I was in multiple bands over time so this is a nice nostalgia inducing video!
I began binge watching your vids, Matt Horn’s drum tech POV’s, Tank The Tech…. Things all to keep me inspired because last year I move to Spain and had to start from square 1 with music, networking, etc. Now, miraculously, I am in the ONE band I really enjoyed in my new city and we have some small festivals lined up this year, but now this video keeps replaying in my head to know how far we can go as long as we work our asses off. I love seeing this content, man. Please keep it up and hopefully I could meet you in person some day, somewhere!
Hey Man! I'm Jeff from hailing from Portland Oregon. Thank you for the perspective clips man! I'm also a musician (guitars) but lately, for like the last year I've really been interested in drums. Keying in on drums instead of guitar on all the music I listen to TOTALLY changes my perspective on all my favorite jams. Anyway, this was a cool perspective from the stage point of view and it brought back the same butterflies I get every time I play live. 😝 Keep on rocking and I'll keep following bro
As someone who only ever dabbled in drums for like half a year until I broke my wrist skateboarding, and then just never picked it back up, this video is super inspirational. I might look into starting lessons again. Also never heard of I Prevail, but I'm definitely going to add some songs to my playlist. Great video man!
This video "popped" up in my youtube feed probably because I watch so many Danny Carey videos. Anyways, it never gets old seeing humans living out their dreams and when they realize how blessed they are it makes it even better. No offense but I hadn't heard of your band before this video but I'm definately gonna check you guys out now. Tell your band mates that, while they may not like being recorded, people like me may not have found yall. POV footage is my favorite btw, no matter what it is, gives a great perspective of what it is "kind of" like being you. Thank you for sharing this with us. ✌️✝️
I can relate to so much of this. I never toured because it takes a special type of person to enjoy doing it and I’m not that person. You’re a good looking young guy with a lot of talent and with a talented band of good guys, ride the wave brother and enjoy every second of it.
I didn't believe bands loved playing in Brisbane so much, being someone from Brisbane, and I guess we actually are a pretty sick crowd. Cheers for sharing, we'll keep giving love to the bands.
I was blown away by this. Your POV videos are just so fun to watch, and we all appreciate the skill you have, plus the time you make for us!! Oh, and the blisters! I remember them all to well, playing outdoor venues in the hot Southern US sun during the summers! All the best, heal that nasty blister, and we all look forward to your next video, be it a lesson, discussion or future POV!! 👽
So rad! I would love to play in front of 40k people! I've played in front of a couple of thousand and it is a blast. TO hear the roar of the crowd just gives you so much energy!!
Randomly found your channel & absolutely loved the video! The behind-the-scenes look of the festival, what it's like before you went on stage, & the view of you playing in front of that crowd was amazing. I thoroughly enjoyed the commentary and fun stuff in between. Great video, which makes me want to check out your other videos & also your music! Take care & God bless!
For finger injuries, cover the affected area in whatever porous clean medium you can get and wrap it kinda tightly in electrical tape. It won't move, the structure and adhesive level hold together whatever wound you're trying to seal up and it's low friction enough that it won't keep you from being useful. I used to gash my hands up at work and I'd just clean and seal them with a little cotton and electrical and could operate the rest of the day without noticing.
