Kristensen Magnussen Super crazy to believe that he was the same age as me during the Human Tour! What a monster touring around Europe and the US at that age!
I suggest you give the Decapitated album 'Winds of Creation' a listen ( if you haven't heard them yet. ) Their Drummer was 14 when they made that album. The other band members were all one year older than each other.
This was by far Death's best drummer! Gene Hoglan and Richard Christy are good drummers respectively, but the drumming on Human was fucking INHUMAN! I remember reading an article where Gene himself had a hard time playing songs from this album because of the shear intricacy of Sean's drumming...
@@WhoisVinnie Hmm, I could agree with this.. especially in that slow part of Genetic Reconstruction you really hear how great that drum kit sounds. As much as I'd like to hear Human in the Spiritual setting, in the end I think the original production (even though the bass guitar is on the hidden variable level) has a better sound than any other Death album or remaster. . I think the 2011 remaster is a kind of sacrilege. It sounds like better (to distinguish in terms of instruments defined in the whole), but everything sounds much flatter and compressed per instrument, so +- 4 times as bad as where the original version just sounds like it was cast in one piece and is chrome plated by Sean Reinert.
I remember back in the early 90's when I first heard that acceleration in the solo part, I was fucking stunned! Had to listen to it over and over again to actually realize that someone could do that on bass drums. He was way ahead of his time in metal drumming and is definitely one of the forefathers to extreme metal drumming of today.
You know what? I must have listened to this song a zillion times and I just noticed this acceleration on the bass drums. I went and listened to the album version to see if it's really there and there it is!
Sean Reinert ladies and gentleman a machine with soul, he wasnt listening to metal when he recorded this, he was into Chick Corea and more jazz stuff, one of my 3 top hi tech metal drummers
This is before triggers and condensers !!!! Your drums sounded for how hard you hit with consistency!!!! SEAN IS KILLING IT!!!! Always SOLID!!!! ❤️🥁🙏🎶😎
I know Gene Hogan is an awesome drummer and deserves all the recognition he gets but I actually think Sean's drumming on Human is even better yet no one really knows of him, sad. When this came out it blew me away with the speed an& aggression I liked with Steve Asheim of Deicide but far more complex.
Replicate Extinction what he meant was he's one of the less popular death drummers, as people usually talk about Gene Hoglan or Richard Christy. And being a fan of death metal doesn't mean you are a fan of this band.
*insert name here* Funny, I found the opposite was true when I first got into Death. It seemed to me that Human was the album that everybody revered while the Gene and Richard stuff were regarded as almost secondary masterpieces. Personally I think each of the three is just as technical, fast and aggressive as each other (as evidenced when Gene played Richard's stuff on the 2012 DTA tour) but ultimately Richard is the best. His cymbal usage took the flair of Sean with Gene's Erskineisms and blended them seamlessly
In my opinion Reinert is far better than the two and best drummer Death ever had. Coming from the fusion scene(he's never been much of a metal fan) has made him much more colorful!
Aw man, I've never liked Richard's style... I think it's too much information going on at the same time, but he's a monster. In my opinion reinert's style was the best fit for death, and I'm a gene hoglan fanboy hahaha
No one will play this song like Sean did! I´ve seen Gene Hoglan, Richard Christy and other drummers playing this but no one can do it better, Sean was a fucking monster!!! RIP Master!!! Damn life!!!!!
Man the breaks on the refrain are extremely inspired ... I believe Reinert and Sandoval are my best drummers ever. I never get enough of them and they are super identifiable amongst the massive amount of drummers on metal. I hope we had more musicians like them today, most have super technique but they lack something you see on that video, some call it musicality
Back in the day this would've been a video to watch every single day a dozen times over. What am I talking about, it STILL is! Sean's groove even in high speed metal drumming is yet to be topped. Amazing.
I remember first putting this disk in when it first came out-didn't move for the whole CD! this was in 91! Sick for then-sick for now! And speed isn't everything-guitar, drums, whatever-speed is worthless without style and feel! 40 minutes of blastbeats isn't feel-its a fancy metronome! HUMAN still stands the test of time!
the ease at which reinert plays these parts astounds me. the fluidity that his wrists allow him is something i strive for whenever i see him play. underrated and quite possibly the greatest drummer, at least in heavy metal, of all time.
When I heard this album for the first time back in "91, my first opinion was that they recorded Human with a rhitm machine...I was mad!Wondered myself is it possible...Why they done that...I am 41years old now, recently bumped on this uploads, and saw what?That man is realy rhytm machine...(sorry for my bad english)
In the pocket af! Fusion influence without over playing! His feet...holy shit!! Every ride pattern in the whole performance is perfect!! Best snare sound ever!! Sean Reinert was the greatest of all metal drummers and sadly, very underrated! That first Cynic record is face metling!!
Sean is so sick drummer. I think his style is pure old progressive metal. Human is best album of death's all albums. Sean + Paul + Chuck + Steve = Legendary lineup
Whenever I watch Sean, Gene or Richard, I tend to say, this is the best Death drummer. So it is a tide for three of them. And somebody said blast beats, fast kick patterns? Those guys did these back in the day without all those tricky polished sound systems and high quality gear. Look or more than that, listen, to that clock-work tasty drumming. All legends... RIP Chuck...
I remember well hearing this first time and taking it to school in my headphones everyday wow my friends didn’t get it but I knew this was way ahead of the curve at it’s time Loved death still do to bad Chuck had to leave early
very happy to see these videos... this record and drummer made some of us take the time to better our craft by learning jazz and other techniques. seeing these now i can understand what is going on fine - but this record was the spark for such insights
Ive been having alot of thoughts about how life passes so quick With that said i saw sean perform with cynic at el rey theater in 2011? I feel grateful i got to witness his talent. Music is a big thing in my life where it soothes my anxiety and existential crisis due to getting older, but as I watch this to try to have some endorphins by being taken back in time then suddenly i start freaking out at the thought that sean was taken from us too damn soon. I guess enjoy the momment to the fullest and be present with your loved ones. Time flies. In conclusion, TIME F**cking FLIES
I was very blessed to have met Sean and hung with Cynic when they were opening for Cannibal Corpse in Tampa, FL. I sat behind Sean in a similar position as this camera. Just incredible to watch him play.
sean reinert, gene hoglan and richard christy play absolutely fantastic on all the albums and live. death really incorporated one of the best metal drummers..
I honestly can't see them and even if he used them, the sound of the video is the one coming straight from the drum kit, not from the console, yet it sounds a hundred times better and real than most of the vids from drummers from hell.
True, trigger doesn't give that natural sound and you don't have to hit as hard if the sensitivity is cranked (which in a lotta case isn't cuz you risk dual triggering). You still have to hit that many notes. Especially if your kicks are triggered, it's more imperative that you play them precise. To me, triggers make sense if you're playing 250bpm and higher 16th notes and need clarity. Then sure, go for it. But if triggers are used as a crutch rather than for clarity. Then the band doesn't have a drummer, they have a pussy
Trym triggers his entire kit. Anyway, using triggers isn't a slight to the drummers that use them, and that has nothing to do with this video anyway since we're not hearing the sound in the house - just the acoustic drum sound.
Torling Pader Gene would agree. I read an interview with Gene in which Gene remarked about how amazing Sean was on Human, and how glad he was to not be in that band. This was before Individual Thought Patterns of course.
This is what I call "gourmet metal playing." My favorite metal drummer; exquisite taste, techique and delivery. Human and all the Cynic stuff is just mind blowing. The absolute pioneer of tech death.
What they did on that album is still up to date, Sean drumming is insane. Chuck gathered awesome musicians on all records but I think this was by far the best lineup and one of their best if not the best album.
This is raw as hell but still so creative. Such a rare breed. I was 10 when this was filmed. Sitting behind him and seeing this would have given me lots of direction on what to aspire towards. That beat flip around 2:12 is insane. Truly in a league of his own. Hands like Vinnie with feet like Lombardo! RIP
I played drums for a few years before switching to guitar in my teens and videos like this make me consider going back to it as a hobby. Its weird though trying to get good at things you have no intention of ever using. Sean isn't using triggers here. His kicks are getting enough elevation at the knee to prove he is hitting hard. Most trigger users that go for sheer speed heel/toe or swivel foot and get little elevation. The point of triggers are to create even sound regardless of pressure.
Technically he was completely unmatched at the time, he had it all, groove, speed, power, technique and fucking taste.
the dude was all feel, no trigger double bass and it sounding perfect is incredible
TRUUUUUUUUUUUUUTH!
His technique is to die for.
totally agreed.
I'm still astonished by the level of drumming in this song and album, 32 years later
Could you belive that ? He is born '71 so he was 20 years old at that time. Dude, fuckin 20 years old and that sick flawless metronomical drumming.
Yeah also usually people think just because someone is young they suck
Look at this god they made the first tech death metal album
WeKnowTheTruth2012 Waay before the RUclips-masturbators era ! Waay before the Internet at homes !
True. Still, Vitek from Decapitated was 15 when they recorded their first album.
Like a baaaaaaaawwwwwssss
@@bartoszdolewski4915haha yeah man!!!!
Seriously, this is so f****ng amazing. In -91 he sounded like this, waaaay ahead of most other drummers in this genre at that time.
+Mattias Jonasson And he was about 20 years old in the human Tour! a Beast!
+Kristensen Magnussen Even more incredible then. The others just didn't sound anything like this. Amazing...
Kristensen Magnussen Super crazy to believe that he was the same age as me during the Human Tour! What a monster touring around Europe and the US at that age!

True, Vitek (R.I.P.) is a legend, best drummer to ever walk this earth, period.
RIP..... I KNOW YOU PLAINING WITH CHUCK NOW!
To think that Sean was only 20 years old at the time of this video, fucking amazing!!!
its so discouraging
Think he was only 19. Not that 1 year matters. He was fucking awesome regardless. RIP SR

And i guess due to Gene’s playing style its hard for him to replicate what Sean had done in human.
Hoglan HEAPS praise on reinert as well
@@2112SNEEKobviously you don’t like hearing bass guitar then, because Steve got fucked on the original mix.

Yet, years prior to recording Human with Death, he already played death metal with Cynic.
NightRider how long was Cynic around before focus was released? Because I know human precedes focus by a few years.
@@VioletAOP416 Cynic was formed in '87, and had demos from 88-91 before releasing Focus in 1993.
uroboric_forms dope, do you know if there’s any place I can find those demos?
Believe he thanked Vinnie Colaiuta in the Human liner notes
God bless that right wrist.
Is insane, specially when playing ostinatos on the ride cymbal.
RIP Sean.
Who can dislike this? That has serious problems with the brain.
Rest in peace Sean... your legacy will last forever... without you, no Necrophagist or Obscura or Beyond Creation.You will be missed. Thanks for all.
