Practicing for the upcoming Silverchair reunion!? Hopefully Chris hasn't gotten rid of all his stuff. He has to have something laying around right? Daniel just needs a bit of convincing I'm sure,even though he's explained why he will never get the band back together. We miss you all Ben.

Every 15 year old should be given the opportunity to listen to this song, once a week at school, before anything else..... just to push their boundaries.

Cool channel! I remember saying at a friends place and id never heard of silverchair. He played this song and i was blown away. The drums make this song. Also went to my first concert that year, 96 or 97 in Toronto. I was probably 13

Australia’s best drummer right here!! Loved Ben’s drumming especially live and was so young man!! No shirt live going nuts on that beautiful kit he used to have with the silver symbols!!!

Silverchair was my first concert ever. A memory I'll cherish forever. I remember playing drums along to your albums when I was younger. And I know this is off topic of this video. But I wanted to say that Diorama is one of the best Albums ever created in my opinion. If you read this... thank you for sharing this and thank you for all you've done with music.

Absolutely monster drummer. That was one of the things that stood out when I watched MTV Live and Loud - Silverchair back in the day. Power and precision in equal measure.

Mate that was awesome. So many people hold these songs in such high regard, and for good reason. So it's amazing hearing how they all came about. Cheers mate🤘

that was awesome to watch. Im 45 now but still have this album on my playlist , was singing along to this very song today on my drive into work.

Wow tears man....brings me back into 90's memory, so much fun playing your song in indonesia, thanks ben, hope to see you back in reunion soon ✌

It's so fun to watch you having fun playing the final part of the song! You still rule, Ben!

And just today, I was listening to a Silverchair show on my way back from work in my car and now KZfaq introduces me to your channel. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Love the fact the end of the song brings the same feeling to you as the rest of us!

I cannot express how much I absolutely love these Behind The Beat videos. It's so awesome to hear what went into making these songs. I've probably heard them many, many times over, and these videos are still making me find new ways to appreciate them.

Man it's so good seeing you kill these songs - can't believe you hit that final accent. Looked like this was the first take and you were almost surprised with what the song was doing. Fantastic mate, keen for the next one 👍🏻

So many memories! Really glad This video popped up in my feed… probably because I’ve been trying to find out how to get a copy of young Modern on vinyl and KZfaq spun me down the rabbit hole! So glad it did

My absolute favourite song you guys did live, it just never gets old for some reason. Glad it was as exciting for you to play as it was for us to thrash around to. Thanks for taking us back Ben!

This was fascinating! Loving this new behind the beat series.

Love this project! You're a bloody legend! Thank you. 🙌

Seeing you behind the drum kit again is a beautiful thing. I’m loving these videos 👌⚡️

Man I'm so stoked to see you making these videos! Israel's Son was actually one of the first songs I learned on drums. Thanks a ton, and I can't wait to see more!

Love this series Ben, thanks so much! If you're considering doing more, I'd love to see you break down Without You, which I think is one of your finest performances. Cheers

1 of THE BEST songs, from 1 of THE BEST albums ever recorded...no debate. Frogstomp was, and still is, pure perfect gold...from Track 1, all the way through Track 11. 1995...such a better time, and an incredible year for music too. I'd give anything, even my left and right nut, to be able to go back to that time/year, and be 15 or 16yo again. Good times...🙂

I like how the ending always makes me hold my breath and then the subsequent cathartic release with the multiple crashes and last crash followed by abrupt silence and then the plucked chords to Tomorrow comes in. So classic

That is a beautiful kit! This brings me back to my college days, thank you so much for this!!

Awesome video, love behind the scenes details. I never get tired of good music.

That last section is so good, the drums just come alive and it powers up the whole song and takes it into a different dimension.

All these stories you're telling are so cool, things that were never revealed about the songs, your view about it as a drumer. I'm really loving your videos (and also your solo projects, Bento is so underrated). Thanks!

Glad I came across these videos. You guys were the first band I saw live when I was 11 years old at the Brisbane Riverstage on the Freak Show tour. That show was the reason I started playing guitar and wanted to play in a band.

Thanks for doing these videos Ben and giving us fans a behind these scene look into your writing. 👍🏻🍻

Love these Ben, thanks for whipping them up

Ben great vids, insight and shows how far this trio was ahead of all of us back in Aus in the mid 90's starting bands ! Really like that drum mic set up be cool to go through that at some stage in the future

So good. I play this song about 4 times a week. Mad fun

So glad I found this channel! Fan from day 1! Cheers from Canada!!

You guys are my childhood hero.Learning on how to play aggresively on guitars,frogstomp is my holy grail when i was 14.oh man this is sure bring nostalgia.Glad to see you on drums again.Thumbs up man!

These are so great. After 28 years of playing the guitar I’m learning the drums which I’ve wanted to do since about 95 but I’m learning with my 7 year old son now so these videos have come at the perfect time, as a huge silverchair fan this series gives me something to study and aim towards. Thanks Ben.

It's so nice to see all of these, Ben! It really made my week watching this. You're my favorite drummer of all times, knowing that you did what you did being just a kid blows my mind! Really hope that a "Roses" episodes comes next, the drums in that track are a masterpiece.

Love these Ben! Please please please Keep’em coming. Started playing drums in 95 at age 13 listening to frogstomp nonstop….all the way up to young modern. Seen you in Chicago numerous times over the years. Now, As an adult I’m Showing these to my 5yr old son and he’s loving them. It’s awesome to see the evolution in your playing, and your take on the songs now. thank you for the drum inspiration early on.

So epic! Thanks for making these videos. Love the stories 🥁

Thanks for doing these Ben! Been a mega fan since I first saw Israel’s Son on Much Music in Canada back around 1995. You guys really inspired me to become a musician in the first place. Awesome to hear these replayed in the studio forum and hear your thought process. Awesome! Cheers

Excellent. thanks for explanation. I always enjoyed seeing the songs evolve over the tours. Always liked the ending of this as well 😀

That smile towards the end! Looks like you're having a lot of fun. I hope there's more of these videos coming 🥁🥁🥁

Just found this - farrrrrrk yes Ben, please keep making these!!! Amazing to get the drummer’s perspective. You’re a bloody talent 👏👏👏

So moving. So many memories. And your talent. Just wow, every time I hear it. ❤

What an amazing series! I love that you’re doing this!

So good! I never thought of that, re-learning a recorded version of the song as what you play live has changed over the years. That’s so cool! Love it Ben. These clips are super interesting ❤️

That's really cool, Ben. Nostalgic! Keep rocking, bro!

This is so great Ben! One of the greatest live songs for sure. The way you played it during the 99 era with so much power still gets me going now. Really enjoying this series! Cheers 🥁

last great rock band in the world , the silverchair , thank you ben , great video

Great job man! Keep up with the videos

wonderful! I'm addicted to your videos, it reminds me of my adolescence and how much I wanted to learn drums. I miss silverchair! Hugs from Brasil/Uruguay, Ben!

Epic! A pleasure to hear these stories! Still got it Ben! Do Pure Massacre please! 🤘 Thank you!

Super sick video! Drums during that play through sound massive! Awesome hearing the stories behind the names too.

I didn't even know you had a youtube channel. This is a real treat! Love from the US, hope you guys are all doing well. The world misses silverchair.

This was awesome!

This is so epic Ben! Absolutely loving these breakdowns, giving a great new perspective to these old favourites.🤙🤙🤙

These clips are awesome! Frogstomp was my favourite album in high school. It's so cool to see how it was done and the stories behind the tunes.

The final drums beat just fully kicks arse!!!! Fuck yeah !!! Still got it Gillies ❤️🙌🏻🥁

The way you enjoy this!! You can see the happiness building up as the song went by

Another great vid Ben 😎

I’m loving these videos Ben. Hopefully your babies get your love of music

It's great watching you play along to this after your drum maturity. You honestly do your best to be accurate, but you are years older and wiser at thins point and I really do enjoy watching you do this. Thank you good sir!

Absolutely love this song to this day, one of the best opening tracks to an album ever imo. Loving the content, it's cool to see some introspective on these awesome songs!

Definitely need some live stuff released. If chair never tours again, at least let fans re live the moments of once was. Just amazing times of my life.

Favourite one yet! Love the longer clips of you playing/cutting at the right moment to explain. I'd pay just to see you mucking about on the drums - just sayin' ⭐🥁

Thank you Ben!! Always adored your drumming with Dan's guitar riffs... have ALWAYS air drummed to your stuff (despite being a guitarist) because you've always had such interesting parts 😍

So good! That look at the end says so much.

It's so cool when you look back at musical parts you wrote at a younger age and would never make the same choices now. That snare is beeeeeefy, love it.

I remember this song vividly from the Easter Show Sydney gig was it '96??? My little brother and i allowed out and cut sick to the Chair - thanks Ben!! For the vibe and the memory. x

I really like these videos! Israel's Son kicks ass and the drumming in the song is absolutely amazing! Would lovve for you to do a video on Suicidal Dream, it's a song I can really relate to. Love these videos

Hey Ben hope you read this. I would love to see you review One Way Mule!!!

Thank you for doing this! Silverchair was my childhood obsession. Spent all my money ordering every overseas single cd release you guys had.

Ben, I hope to see you come to Sarawak one day. Would love to jam with you on drums or guitar. Thanks for inspiring me for over 15 years and thanks for teaching me to be a humble musician Best regards, Dean

What a champion love seeing him drum along to these monster tunes 🤘🤘🤘

Ace video! Personally for me my favourite live versions of you playing this are from the Neon Ballroom era. Absolute beast!

Hey Ben love your work mate. I reckon Diorama you really came into your own with the time changes. Much respect from Fiji 🇫🇯 All the best mate.

I covered this song in my first ever gig when I was 16. Good memories

Dude these videos are great! Love to have you as a guest of our podcast. Been a fan since Frog Stomp.

Wow. Love these explanation. Really inspiring and nice. Thanks alot for this video series. Can you do faultline please :D love you guys. Silverchair best band

Hell yes! 🙌🤘 crushed it🥁

You’ve got such a solid left hand Ben. It always shines through. I’d love to see one of these clips about “without you” from Diarama!

Nice groove dude. Keep rocking!

Was always blown away that kids a few years older then I was were writing tunes like this. Amazing still a great song

I'am from Brazil, excelent job Ben! God Bless you and your family

Dude you're one of the reason why i picked up that stick and start playing drums.. salute!

Awesome 👏🏼 !!

My father(rip) have the frogstomp,frekshow,neon ballroom, and young modern all cassettes from your band sir Ben,

Hi Ben! I just found your channel. Big time Chair fan from the beginning. I'm also a drummer and I gotta say that's a great sounding kit. Bass drum sounds killer. I haven't played my kit in over a year because of the COVID thing, but will be heading out to play some shows starting in July. I took out my drums last week and cleaned them and changed all top heads. Can't wait. My Roland TD-17kvx rocks, but it's not the same feel. Take care Ben. I look forward to see what else is on here. Cheers!

This is gold really

I love this series Ben!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Literally picked the bass back up and have been playing along to silverchair. This is so dope.

This was my first silverchair song. I heard it in the animated 1996 Street Fighter movie and I was only little- maybe 6? Or 7? I was born in 1999 though so I heard it around the time Young Modern came out. Completely shaped the kind of music I would end up listening to. I can’t really comment on the technical aspects of your drumming since I’m not an expert but I love listening to you talk about it and what you were thinking all those years back! Thanks for sharing, Ben.❤️❤️❤️

Bro, your drumming was/is so influential to me! Listening to your music pushed me in the right direction. Cheers! 🤘

Love these videos. As a non drummer I have no idea what you're talking about most of the time 😂 but definitely love hearing how you and the bands music evolved. Crazy how you had to kind of re learn from the original. Always loved the bands variations on certain songs.

In a funny but similar way I’m a fence contractor and I look back at work I did 20 years ago and say “why did I build it that way?” It’s also the beauty of art at different points in your life

Always been a big fan man😎🤘🤘🤘🤘

Oh man I loved that! Sick drumming

Awesome man!

Ben, these videos are mental! Thanks for giving us a rare look behind the curtain. 12yo me would have just died if official playthroughs had been available back when I first picked up the sticks. I’m definitely a “learn all the fills” kind of player, and I’ve studied your records like you wouldn’t believe. Couple suggestions: would it be possible to hear these older tunes played without the ghost note interpretations? The ghosts are so loud in the mix (not sure if samples or compression) that I sometimes have trouble following the groove. Also, what would you think about following up the explanation videos with an uninterrupted playthrough? Again: merely suggestions. Thanks again for you care in putting these together! I’m enjoying the spit out of them. Maybe Dan and Chris will see these and post their own playthroughs! One can dream.

Been following you guys since 1994! I wrote to your manager back then to see if i could secure some merch but he told me nothing had really been made up at that stage so instead he sent me a signed black & white postcard of you guys when you were the Innocent Criminals and just starting to grow your hair long! Still have it and still love u guys, absolutely awesome memories Inc all the 90's concerts! 😁

🙌🏻amazing
