About time Craig reacted to this guy, I hope he tears him a new one.

Next video: Craig reacting to himself, reacting to himself (Confidenception)

Been playing 22 years. Can genuinely say you are a beast of a drummer mate. Fucking killing it holding that shit down up there and having fun while you’re doing it. Next levels of respect👊

"I got a haircut that day" "I need to get that gap filled over my nipple" Hell yea this is the content I subscribed for. Absolute beast drumming is good as well I guess...

Your FOH guy is MAJORLY blessed by the fact that you can tune so well and hit so hard and consistently. Those drums sound fucking MEAN. As a sound guy I am jealous of whoever that is.

A genuinely positive video. As always.

"So what have we learned" Probably that you are way better at the drums than you give yourself credit for. Love this fucking song. Can't wait for more new stray.

I love the alternating crash hits at 9:42. Makes it even heavier than it already is.

“Fuck you, me saying I’m shit. This is quite good. Go figure.” 💀

I've been enjoying quite a lot of your tour outputs. It's quality audience that matters - not quantity. Get it!

you're an absolute unit behind the kit both physically and drumming-ly, amigo

Late to the party on this one but definitely enjoyed it. Love the energy, especially in that breakdown with the heavy kick

I appreciate all your work! Beast mode on bro! looking jacked!

Awesome shout out to The Town, what a fucking great movie. One of Ben Affleck's best performances, I think Fantastic performance from you as well man, loving watching you play live. And that kit looks and sounds so, *so* good. Great job dude 👍🔥

Love this. Love you Craig - Sad I missed you in ATL but we'll get it next time

Enjoyed the honesty in this and unfiltered stream of consciousness. Also taking inspiration and tryna mix it up EVEN more so with my drumming too 😂😁🥁

i think this is one of my fav reactions youve done! Honestly, its my first time seeing you play 'live' (at an actual show, performing..) and you are amazing! Also, it is good to critique yourself and it is/was something you hadn't seen before, so imo its a good video to react too, even if it is You playin! Awesome song! Awesome Performance! Killer Video.. well done in all areas! 😏🤙

saw you in Portland. You killed it man

this song is rad. glad you fell in my youtube feed.

Yes!!! Boston was amazing you guys killed it!

I missed the Twitch stream, and I was hoping this would get uploaded here, I was not disappointed

Going to a show in Australia now is basically paying to hear a backing track with only a few parts actually performed live.

Best drummer. Keep smashing it. 👍

I believe the weapon you're referring to is a flail. I only know this because I've been playing a lot of Elden Ring. Cool drumming btw

playing on point excellent level of arrogance excellent hair cut standing on point 15/10

This drum video blew me away when I saw it absolute beast behind the kit

Wait a second...I SAW YOU WITH BAD OMENS AND SPIRIT BOX IN ST PETE!!! I've only been a casual watcher of your videos up until now. Subscribed!!

Hows the cycle going for ya Craig? loving the testryceps! 😝

I HATE, HATE, HATE that I only got to see half of your guys last song in Atlanta. Y’all did not deserve that, but kudos for still putting on a banger as show as if nothing went wrong. That’s CLASS.

You reached a new level with your drumming.

I've said it before Craig and I'll say it again, this album is superb. I've listen to so many albums that came out this year and this sounds so real it's properly refreshing.

Fucken hell mate. When you dexcribed your face as looking like Mr Burns when he is an alien I fucken lost it, Couldnt control my laughter. Problem is im at work and I work in a University Library... that was awkward lol

Reacting to your own playthrough, ultimate narcissism achieved ❤️

Your the best bro nothing but love. 👍

Watched myself watching this -stood up twice

Honestly I hope I get to mix Stray live one time. I think I’d crush it

Just fell in love mate. Cheers from NJ, actually from CA

Kicking the hell outta the kick drums and it doesn’t even shake.

hi hat close at the end of a fill will never not give me a raging honker

I really need this man's drum routine, gmy- and diet program...

That break face was so good

Hey… that’s the paradise rock club!

Man plays sick ass drum parts that can hardly be heard in the crowd.

Confidence

Been checking out your channel, love the candor, and great content. Curious if anyone in your band was influenced by One Minute Silence at all? Nobody in my circle knows who they are but used to dig it when I was coming up. Being, they’re from your neck of the woods etc. cheers 🍻

Just watched this playthrough last night, legit thought to myself.. I bet he watches this on his channel just for the lols and boom here we are

In reference to that 3 BPM drop, do you use a click live I assume? I think you've mentioned before how it helps keeps adrenaline tempo pushes in check. Beastly shit dude, keep em coming.

Really wish I could have seen you all play in Charlotte Nc a few weeks ago.

Yoooo I've been watching this channel for awhile now, but only JUST realized with this video that Craig is the Stray from the Path drummer. Just discovered Stray from the Path the other day. All very exciting things.

How was that steel kit (looked like the slp one)? Your rack tom sounds awesome.

Awesome! Would you mind listing the ride and crashes you used? Are they all polyphonic?

Sick play through! As far as your back and bum hurting it’s probably due to your throne tucking your tail bone in and rounding off your back. I had the same problem until I got the spinal glide drum throne. The gap in the middle of the throne let’s your tailbone rest untucked so it takes the pressure of your bum and back.. it’s worth a shot 🤷🏽‍♂️

those hi hat rolls are so damn crispy

You're so fucking good man.

When is he getting this drummer on the podcast? Dude is wicked!

Beast! 👌🤘

8:18 Total beast mode. Man, this fires me up!

HAHAHA "reacting to MY OWN drumming (arrogance)"

Does foh have a setting they switch to for those snare bombs or what up? Trying to look up videos on how to do them live but haven’t had any luck

Just clocked you used a first chair back rest and a roc n soc base. Clever

Is it much comfortable to play with a springy chair? I always play with a rigid chair. What Chair is that?

Daddy is back

It seemed like Vic Firth tried to censor the F bombs, and then just gave up.

10:56 - Ball on a stick made me crease, just some poor guys nuts on a stick.

Great playing, butter mix, functional body > shredded, snare bomb highlight.

Lmao I love you did one on yourself finally 🤘🏻 I love this song too so even better 🔥 you killed it. Need to fill in them gaps though cause it could be better 😝 the gaps on your chest.

Right up the algorithm

unique

What a beast 😮

Do you use a click pad on bass drum? Sounds so good!!!

The old Travis barker slim down

Mix sounds beaut.

"Why is this quality GameBoy shit?" Fuckin' dead.

Side note: your skin is looking fantastic 🙌

They both give you ecstasy 😂

Had no idea you play drums m8

7:40 - Felt that disappointment hard!

1st time hearing the band. Lead singer couldn't try any harder to sound exactly like Zach De La Rocha from Rage Against the Merchandise.

if you can and will question /seek faults in what you do, in the quality of what you do, and your motives leading to those actions, and are also willing to be questioned and evaluated by others concerning these points,... then you're not arrogant :)

if tom fucks up the thing in the intro, do you then have to hear it on the loop fucked up multiple times? Or does he just have another crack at it? or is he mint and just doesnt fuck it up? or is it one of those things you can just get away with if its fucked up? surely not if it s MAJORLY fucked up?

(Arrogance)

Welcome back, homie. I was briefly concerned that Florida was going to swallow you whole.

Matt Dierkes is on some next level shit, dudes insane.

I've got a mace down my thumb to fill a gap,,do it!it's sick 😂

U crushed that song though, call it arrogance all you want that's still some damn fire

Mr burns as an alien but disappointed

your a beastie drummer c, fukin epic to see man

That beat is fucking filthy, my face screws 😫

Dude you’re sick

If you would like to react to an artist you might not have heard of, I recommend Aesthetic Perfection with Gods and Gold. It features Richard Z Kruspe, (the guitarist of Rammstein)

What is the difference between a flail and a Morning Star? A morningstar is a mace that has spikes instead of flanges. A flail has a length of chain with one (or more) balls on the end. All of these (historically) have come in varying handle lengths, often split into the footman and horseman categories. Thank fxxk for Google. This s**t is vital.

The weapon is called a morning star I think

God damn this song rips hard

Definitely the best looking drummer

Craig, it honestly sounds like triplets on the kick.

Did you use the slp black brass snare?

That my friend is a flail lol

David Beckham?

Anyway, we’re all fuckwits can’t wait for the next one 🔥

I got some drum videos of Invent Animate and Dealer on KZfaq currently. Craig roast me.
