    This guy's been slept on by modern drummers for too long. Thank you for giving him his spotlight.
  • Brad is one of the guys that inspired me to play drums. Love his grooves. If you don't start nodding your head you probably don't have a pulse.
  • I always thought he was criminally underrated, dude is such an awesome drummer and has such a badass style
  • @bennsan860
    Finally Brad Wilk on spotlight. Brad brings simplicity on drums parts are iconic and inspirational
  • @fridjon
    I've always defined Brad as a Funk Rock Drummer. He was my biggest influence and still is when it comes to rock drumming.
  • @gabrielshansen
    Brad Wilk - one of many unsung drumming heroes finally getting a little drummer-love! He's made such an impact on all the Grunge-era drummers - and many others...whether he or they wanted it or not! My favourite rock-drummer of the era for sure... the power, the groove, and most importantly, the sensibility and coherence with which he totally locks in with the rest of the band!

    Something I've always noticed about Brad's drumming that I've tried to incorporate into my drumming is his dynamics on the hi-hat. On "Like a Stone" it sounds like he subtly changes between hitting the hat with the tip of the stick and the shaft. It propels what is otherwise a simple straightforward beat.
  • @SodiumWage
    Wilk is one of those rare drummers who you always know who is playing the drums when you hear one of their songs. Absolute legend.
  • @bons244
    A drummer who actually plays to serve the song.
  • @Nandi_Bushell
    Brad is one of my all time favourite drummers. He is also one of the nicest, most supportive people in the world. Absolute Genius and all round lovely person 🙌🏽🤘🏽🫶🏽🤘🏽🙌🏽
  • @billyhughes9776
    FINALLY!!! Brad needs his own Drumeo special for sure -- please.
  • @handler803
    I love "space drummers" like Brad Wilk, Bill Ward, and Ringo and Vinnie Paul. Gives the songs room to breathe
  • @gavinfulton1361
    Dude, I had no idea he played with Sabbath on that record, that's so awesome. Of course, I can hear it now, but like others have said, I feel like Brad never gets a ton of love with how dynamic his style is; it's so unique. That first Audioslave album still slaps; what a debut record from what felt like an unlikely pairing.
  • @pauletasse7024
    Yes!! If more kids learnt to play along with the groove and feel of Brad in RATM instead of obsessing over speed and chops they’d benefit massively. The reason it sounds so simple is because it fits every song perfectly, but it’s actually incredibly well crafted and nuanced.
  • My favourite drummer. Finally getting some of that recognition he thoroughly deserves. They have to be one of the best rhythm and groove trios of all time.
  • @pepessz32
    Brad is the true definition of “Pocket Drummer” in the Rock Music.
  • @cobibraiant7420
    I recently joined my first metal band, and i often worry that i don't sound like a metal drummer should, but Brad taught me that i have to play what the song needs. His simplistic and minimalistic approach has made him one of the badass drummers ever🤘🔥
