It's a greatest pleasure to watch your minting every movement with the precision of a jeweler. Thank you Delta!
Good gracious! Freaking awesome. Thanks Delta!
Great song…Great Cymbal work my friend?
Why is this guy wearing a mask? Some kind of super hero?
Delta, you are one finely tuned machine! You really know how to get the best out of your drum kit…. Love watching your vids man, just so inspiring. Keep it up ? Would love to see a bit of Nightwish as I think you actually resemble Jukka quite a lot….
This feels sped up
WOOOOWWW!!!!
At first i went humm i guess Delta had a day off from revenge killing an thought he'd spend time doing something simple but turns out evenflow….not so simple.
Interesting interpretation of the song. A little over-played for my liking. There is sometimes merit in keeping the groove simple to give the song space. Still a fan!
Watching your videos brings back memories. Use to play 6 to 8 hours a day everyday. Played a ton of shows. My band at the time was gaining traction. Was offered to sign to a shitty little label. Big deal for some dicks who just wanted to play some metal. Then my girl got pregnant. Made a choice to give it up to be with my family. Sold all my equipment to buy things for a new baby. Well turns out after I had signed the birth certificate and soent a year with that kid? Wasn't mine. Better yet found out on Christmas morning when the real father called me out of the blue to yell at me. Not a very good christmas. I digress too much. Your drums are set up pretty much how i would have mine. I live vicariously through your playing. Life just has not been good and cannot afford to spend money on drums. So please keep making videos. You're an amazing drummer. You might not know how much people appreciate you.
do somthing off the slipknots wanyk like nero forte
Would love to hear some Mudvayne
Not bad 5/10
holy fuck youre living the dream, brother man. congrats on the success ~
"josh turn this lights out!it's a fucking rock concert!?
man that kit is tight!
Love it!Love it!Love it!Love it!Love it!Love it!Love it!Love it!Love it!Love it!Love it!Love it!
Interesting mix of abbruzzese krusen and cameron??
For what ever reason this song makes me happy
Fukin bad ass, as usual. But… the "flow" DE. U know it… But killer anyway!
I just sit here…my mouth hanging open…in Awe of whoever this is.
I feel useless at drumming. I’ve been doing it wrong. I’m seeing things that never even crossed my mind. Great job Delta
Please do Leash from PJ
I think you would absolutely kill it with rearview mirror
Great job once again Delta. You are the best, never disappoint. Dyers Eve by Metallica please. Would love to see you destroy that song. Long live THE DELTA EMPIRE!!!
Nice Jam Delta.
How about alive by pearl jam
Love how that snare sounds
Dream theater pale blue dot
Do a face reveal at 200,00 sub please!
Amazing work as always. Thank you.
Nailed it! I enjoyed the hell out of that vid man thanx
Duude. This is ridiculously high energy. So good. Excellent bozzio-style China accents.
Sad to see the z custom mega bell ride go one of the best rides ever created?
Original backing but the Abruzee drums version! Beastly
Superb job man, you nailed all the tiny details
Great job cam make a cover of korn never never
sorry this is just way too busy for the song, overplayed i must say, sometimes its nice to just sit in the pocket rather than twat a cymbal every 5 seconds.
Slayer to Pearl Jam and everything inbetween, all played with passion and intensity. This is why Delta is the best around. FUCKING LOVE YOU DUDE!!
Reveal yourself Dave! It’s you behind that mask, I KNOW IT!
Do covers of Power Trip, Parkway Drive and As I Lay Dying, please! you rock!
"Dude"great playing!! I love the fact that you're not only an awsome drummer but also you don't put yourself in one style and always choose great songs to perform with amazing energy. Don't know why,but always seems that you're playing with a great smile behind that mask!! My only request is,just keep the good work!!
