@@rippindrummer666 I love Lethargy and Arcadea, and the album he recorded with Today is the day together with Bill is another lesson in technique and brutality. And about him being correctly rated, I really don't agree, if you look at most of drum channels it's always about Slipknot. Don't get me wrong, I love Joey Jordison and every drummer who played with them but it's like that was no drummer after him you know? And when I say Brann is underrated I could also mention a few names of modern drummers that suffer with that too, one name that comes to my mind now is Chris Adler. It's not that is a competition running for who's best, but there is life after Jordison you know.

their earlier stuff is a lot rougher, not in the sense that is bad, but more in the sense that its closer to their death metal influences and such. the album leviathan was kind of the last of that, and as theyve gone on theyve continued to change their sound, but always remaining decidedly mastodon. The fandom has kind of collectively decided that the best song from emperor of sand, the album this song is off of, is the last song on the album, jaguar god

The dude seems to have built a career off of snare singles, but it works. It's fast and energetic, and the pop of the snare contrasts nicely with the sludgy guitar tones. It's honestly refreshing to hear a more modern metal drummer that doesn't rely on double pedals too much.
