I literally laughed out loud :)

haha you win

I spit out my drink.

I laughed pretty loudly, you win the internet today sir!

Two years late, but that was one of the most beautifully crafted works of poetic fuckery I've ever read. Beautifully done my dude.

I cant remember the year, but early 00's, i had no money so i couldn't go to the Dillinger's show opening for SOAD and clawfinger. I was completely hyped with TDEP at the time. I asked my friends how was the show and everyone told me it was rubbish, couldn't understand a word and a beat, waste of time Bla Bla... I was like "dudes, you just Saw the biggest act in the planet and you didn't even know it. Maybe you guys are a waste of time".

Billy is the man

Its all jazz too. Like jazz off the meds

@@nayrtnartsipacify yeah bro right up until he drops its at 3:41. i love the build up to it, its all about the contrast and dynamics. he plays the 4/4 really fucking hard

+Pill0wDipsauce it's called the whip technique. You make the same motion as you would if you were cracking a minute

Spazzy Jazz?

Might as well be.

And he is very upset about it

I thought it was "belt" lol

Al M. I second this

He may limit himself a bit in what he puts in his kit, but he definitely makes up for it by wringing everything he can out of his kit. Seriously... just grabbing his kit and choking the ever-fucking life out of it! There are drummers who can do lots of interesting stuff because they have developed the skill to use a massive kit and then there are drummers who can do lots of interesting stuff because they have developed the skill to use a limited assortment of options for all they are worth..... and then there are folks who have done both, of course. and in the end.. all of them are interesting, though I personally find guys like Billy more interesting and downright hypnotic to watch and listen to.

He has a double bass pedal... but yeah, you don't need much if you know how to use what you have. The amount of variations in drum/cymbal sounds doesn't have to be so huge when you already have a huge variety of ways to play the limited amount of options you have.

Listen to Fantômas

Car Bomb

The only Dillinger I know so far on drums and guitar is the chorus of “Happiness Is Just A Smile” haha

Teesh Lallipop Holy shit dude!

Or a guy who gets 8 hours worth of drumming packed down into this song 😂 the drums are so busy. That's why I love this music though. One of the few genres where drums can be super busy.

Well, when you play like that.... There is a video of Ben's equipment rundown and the guy seriously has guitars with the wireless built inside so there is no cable or box on his strap and he has a mechanical system that keeps his guitar in tune no matter what. These guys are all utter beasts when it comes to live shows. In-fucking-sane.

Josh Porter Actually upon further inspection I think he plays Silverstars. I just can't imagine Tama being ok with giving him a new Starclassic every month.

GritsNDesu I think its a silverstar bass drum with starclassic toms. In the studio, it's not unheard of to mix and match drums to get the sound you're looking for. Billy also advocated the silverstar line, but live I think he uses a starclassic when he can. ...heaven forbid the singer see him drumming though. He'll wreck his shit on the spot. Cuz fuck drums. I'd be scared.

that show was epic

it's not a cover..thats billy rymer.. lol

Alexi Laiho lol it was a joke

iIn54nity If you're gonna make a joke, maybe you should make sure it's actually funny first.

INF1D3L010 My +20 says it's funny. Humor is in the eye of the beholder bro.

Old, tired joke man...

not really thats just straight time signature work

There is a lot of jazz influence and to the other guy, just cuz it doesnt swing doesnt mean there isnt any jazz influence, Billy is a great jazz cat

Best description I have heard of that sound... but sadly Giraffes have no vocal cords.

if they did, that's a beastly giraffe

Because of your comment I now starting giggling every time I hear those parts.
