Texas In July - Adam Gray - Cry Wolf ( New Song) Live - 2012 

Just a bunch of Legends in the comments! This video will always be gold.

Watched in 2012, still watching in 2023.

Hes not just a drummer, hes a performer. Stick throw had me giddy.

2:11 those stick flips actually changed my life

watching this in 2023 n man this shit still amazes me

It's not fair how much control he has over his kit and how solid he is as a musician

Love how he is still able to adjust his hi hats during the song with out even missing a beat. Inspiration

Gosh... I miss these guys... :'(

Probably one of the most insane live performances in the history of music.

He answered this on another video somewhere I believe. He said it's all part of his stage presence. He keeps his posture up and movements sharp because it gives the look of control and confidence, then adds in stick tricks and stuff like that. He's all about performance and giving people the best show he can.

He's literally just like "Hey, wanna watch me lose my stick? Just kidding, I'm Adam Gray."

Love his mutes. This guy is a true inspiration

He is the one and only spartan drummer, an absolute animal and he is as tight as superior drummer itself! Big inspiration for me

I love how he throws his stick super high at 3:05 just so he can wipe his hand on his shorts xD

Who ever says playing any type of rock or metal or what ever should watch this guy play he has more skill then lots of other drummers out there

2:12 OOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH MY GOD THAT WAS SICK

favorite drummer on the face of this planet !

I don't know what kind of creature is this guy but it's sure not a human being. Excellent drummer

I don't understand how people can just stand around and listen to this. I feel like TIJ makes the best music to move and dance around to. some people....

This has to be one of my favorite band ever! So much energy! If only people would get more into I hate seeing so much talent going to waste, if only I was there haha. I hope I get to meet them!

I generally hate stick tricks because drummers that do them often tend to forget that keeping great time is more important than tossing a stick. Adam however does both with ease. Damn you adam.. Damn you..

Then he laughs and goes harder.. fucking awesome.

Still one of my favourite performances

pure awesomeness.

I saw him do that live, coolest thing ever

yess!!!

So much flow in his drum playing it's insane.

Damn, that was sick!

1:22 dat stick tap

I can barley adjust my hi-hats when I'm NOT playing let alone while I'm playing. Haha

Hes fucking amazing. Mindblowing skills. I met him at Irving plaza and hes such a cool dude!

Just made it 420 likes Damn I'm almost as awesome as Adam gray

He hits so hard at first you think it's just some madman wailing back there but then you notice how tight and controlled he actually is.

unreal, practicing stick tricks is my favorite past time

You are correct sir.

hahaha. what amazes me is adam gray. his fucking ghost notes & skills. fucking superb. and those two guys back there. hahaha. i love them!

If you look closely, the other guys in the band are playing too.

I still can't handle 2:12 and i've watched this video like 100 times

You're getting better day by day... I'm starting to be scared of you o.o

0:11 this is for me cuz I'm learning this song and this is where it starts

Unbelievable oh my god

Dude same here! GOSH He could of done the classic bell hit or anything else that says, "hey here's a breakdown" but that click just makes it work perfectly! GOSH!

2:11 mind blown

3:16 he does that little trick just for himself

The stick tap at 1:25 😳

Damn when he plays it's fking badass!!! He's precise like a freaking robot and plays like he's in the matrix or something, idk unique way of playing, hard to fking describe.

i agree he hits every note on the dot

Everyone creams over his flips, but 3:02 is so sick.

the whole thing is badass but 1:50 is where it blows my mind

2:03 what just happened.

Caralho !! muito foda !!!!! destrói qualquer batera aqui do Brasil. HAHAHAH

2:04 .... My life is now complete.

lol at the 2 guys air drumming

the guys fron this band are soooo primadonnas

Even fixed a hi-hat!!!

Everything after 3:00 just makes me so pumped lol

2:12 intensity level is off the charts

fucking beast!

2:04 flam tap blast beats. Gah damn!

Don't mind me, I'm just Adam Gray adjusting my hi-hat as I play.

the look on his face at 2:40 when he fixes his hi-hat..."im a boss"

0:30-0:36 - yes, kid in black shirt to the right, you CAN air-drum like adam!

It's actually to allow you to have a better grip on your stick when it feels "weird in your hand" haha.Or at least that's what i think. I do this all the time

yeaa i think so I dont even remember! lol but they played with I the Breather , ABR and SIlverstein!

I know that feel bro... :C

2:11 probably the best part

0:57 through 1:03 fucking awesome transition and feel of the china n/

he's a robot im sure

i'm about to push mosh my cubicle and destroy this office now... thanks

0:00-3:38 was the best part of the video

Don't know why, but the stick click at 1:24 is so cool to me.

adjusting the hit-hat perfectly while playing the song perfectly during performance..... priceless.

2:13 dang

0:00-3:39 is amazing!!!

was that the show earlier this year? If so,I was there.Crazy Show!

I think pro series hi hat and maybe a faith crash or pro crash. But he has a custom cymbal being made for him and Imperial is offering it on black friday for $200

I just don't understand how drummers like Adam Gray and Grant McFarland play that low on their thrones. I. and most drummers I've talked to need a slight descending angle on our legs to keep good pedal accuracy. I don't know if it's just me, but an observation I've made over a period of time.

and its so typical that those guys turned away at that 2:15 stick flip, such a monster.

Their new cd is fantastic. Can anyone tell me why Adam Gray consciously/unconsciously acts like a robot while playing drums?

his kung fu is gooood.

2:12 is badass but 3:04 is sick too

12" if i remember correctly.

awesome 2:14

Anybody know what imperials he is using?

he beats the shit out of them cymbals but he dont give a fuck hahahahaha he really puts on a show tho

진짜 아담은 특히 이곡 연주할때보면 영화300을 보는것 같다....와진짜 클라스 오진다...

Why would he put his stick down for one second just to pick it up again? What you described was exactly what the trick was

2.14 whhaaaat

Why aren't they bowing in his presence and basking in his glory?

와 무슨 드럼치는게 전투하는것처럼보이냐....개쩐다진짜

The guy to the right in the black tries to do the pedals at 1:25 but gets it wrong haha

it wasn't actually a trick, he went to put his stick down for a second but it fell off the snare so he quickly grabbed it.

i think he actually falls off and messes up @2:27 if you pay close a attention. Needless to say it definitely takes a professional to get back on a click at like 230 bpms that quick and smoothly...id b shit fucked hahaha. and adam gray is still a mother fucking badass.

I wonder how much he practices a day

2:04 - 2:14 what sorcery is this?

san francisco

2:30 no drum tech = improvise, adapt, overcome.

somebody should check on him he looks like he is siezuring in the corner

2:04 fuuuuuuuuuuuuucck

That guy on his right wishes he was adam so bad lol
