The gold standard of hardcore drumming

As just a straight ride (no crashing) my favorite all-time ride was the 21" Byzance Dark ride. Great flange, amazing bell. I love the Sabian Omnis for their crashability, but if I were just playing a straight ride cymbal, I would only use the Dark ride. Extremely versatile for rock, jazz, prog, metal -- never played pop or trap, but could probably use them there too.

Bill fucking rules...not just the drummer but prolific songwriter and producer. The entire genre owes so much to Bill. These are The All-O-Gistics...

My favorite drummer.

Ty Awesome Video, amazing drummer, one of my absolute favourites along with Vinnie Paul - Charlie is the only choice for Pantera tribute tours.

He's drumming creativity with ALL, blows every other project out of the park. Bill is a treasure

Sounds good.

The best and the godfather of pop punk….

mug mug mug

yes, you did achieve it dude

Lars catching strays hahaha

Mr. Stevenson has a very unique 'voice' on the drums, similar to Derek Grant from Alkaline Trio. Nuanced air-drummers can recognize both of those musicians within a few bars of a song, but those voices aren't easily replicated, and they will never be reproduced. And that's how it should be.

Great interview! Bill Rules! Always!

Do chuck biscuits !!!!!

Thank you so much for interviewing him! 🤩

Uh, you sure this guy can actually play drums? You do realize "Dance Punk" is an Oxymoron? I'm sure John Lydon would agree.

Love seeing Bill be recognized as such an important drummer!

Blasting room and his work with Only Crime. Absolutely incredible. The Decsendants are dope aswell

This was awesome! Keep Groovin' the passion guys!

I know nothing about drums but i enjoyed Nick talking about them, what a talented guy ❤❤

Bill’s the Man.

The G.O.A.T.

Spectacular drummer and songwriter!

Bill Stevenson is an absolute GOAT!!!

wow man Bill is just a treat of a human being, maybe one of the most relatable drummers ive seen on this show

Father and son? :)

I love how on the greta van fleet episode he's using bonham sized vistalites and refuses to say bonhams name and for miley you guys open with bonham is why

That snare is so dead

He is a absolute hero for me. Just love every beat of this dude. Amazing Interview. Thanx!

Bill is a beautiful Human being - listening to him talk about everything in such friendly and open ways made me smile.

Someone get this man a fucking cymbal deal so he didn't have to borrow stuff! Zildjian I'm looking at you

I really enjoyed this, BUT! I was totally disappointed there was no talk about Bills ride cymbals, that's such a huge part of his sound ans he's been so consistent with threw since the beginning. Maybe next time 🤷‍♂️

11:45 There’s a bottle of automotive Lucas Slick Mist Fast and Easy Speed Wax. Do Bill and other drummers use this to clean/shine their kits? PS - Descendents and Bill are amazing

Oh man, so much respect to Bill. His playing on those Black Flag records is huge to me.

The Legend himself

Would love to see an interview with Matt Best, drummer of Sleeping With Sirens and Tonight Alive. Absolutely incredible drummer

I want to know if the man rhino is sitting in the back by bill

"I like playing more curvy" Gonna be using this line from now on haha. I agree, some drummers tend to stick just to timekeeping and forgetting that the drums are an instrument in themselves as well. Bill is a consummate professional, great video.

Bill is a gift to mankind.

4:09 Jealous Again?

getting the credit he deserves.

About 15 years ago. I went to an ALL show in Columbus, Ohio. Hung out with the whole band for a couple hours after the show and they were some of the coolest and nicest people I've ever met. We owe Bill and company so much for the music they gave the world.

I love Bill.

I was just at the blasting room a couple months ago and got to mess around with that Bell brass he’s talking about it absolutely weighs at least 40 pounds and sounds amazing

I love how he has his kit set up. Bill Stevenson the master.

Refreshingly original, unconventional and inspiring. This guy approaches drumming and music as an absolute artist with a concept ❤

My gawd, I love him. So awesome. 🐐🥁

NEVER CLICKED SO FAST IN MY LIFE

One of the absolute GOAts of punk drummers, man

For anyone who doesn't already know and is curious, this man is a _fantastic_ recording engineer who has made many incredible records at his studio that he mentioned, "The Blasting Room." The amount of incredible, generational, inspirational records this guy has been a part of making in one way or another is impressive to say the least.
