So glad that Chuck told Sean " Just do your thing". Timeless and breathtaking. Sean was without a doubt, one of the best that ever picked up the sticks. Period.
Chuck was talented and skilled, but what always impressed me was his creativity and vision, pushing the envelope, and one way was to work with amazing musicians and let them do what they do. ALL of the drummers (percussionists) in Death brought their own strengths, created great music, and helped move the genre forward.
This dude's performance on this album changed the way metal drummers looked at the drums. He grew up learning all sorts of different genres of music and that heavily influenced his style of playing. His other band at the time was jazz-fusion-metal; Cynic. A few years later he'd be playing alt-rock for like 10 years before coming back to metal. Gene Hoglan has said that he had to step his game up after watching what Sean could do in Human.
The loss of Sean was a tremendous shock to the metal community, he was an influence for many drummers and even after 30 years his work is still respected and so brilliantly executed
Totally agree with you,I think Steve ashiem is another death metal drummer from the original Floridian masters who is totally overlooked and underated, he is the Dave Lombardo of death metal in my opinion.
RIP Sean, he brought his jazz influences to heavy music, Death was on a different level back in the days, guitar riffs, drumming everything. You should watch live in LA with Richard Christy on drums
It seemed like Sean was light years ahead of his time when Death released this album! It’s a must listen to, the dynamics on drums are insane and the rest of the band is top notch as well
hard to believe he played this nearly note for note as he played it on the album. i remember being into slayer and thrash at the time, i was 15, and had just started playing the drums. lombardo was an utter god to me, then a friend of mine gave me a cassette tape of this album in school, and my mind was smashed!!!! his double kick playing was like nothing ever heard before, and then playing the jazzy stuff with the hands over the top, it was next level. btw you should check out the lyrics on this whole album, chuck was a brilliant writer
Same happened to me! Lombardowas my hero, along with Vinnie Colaiuta. But I was 17 (spring of 1994) and the album was Individual Thought Patterns with Hoglan on drums. Shattered my brain.
This is true. Human was released at a time when Gene was not only a well established drummer but, at the time, death metal drumming was more about who can hit drums the hardest and fastest… Sean brought the jazzy / groovy element to death metal that didn’t exist back then.
Sean sadly passed away last year. His playing in Death and Cynic is probably some of the most influential for later extreme metal drummers coming in the 90s and 00s. You definitely have to check out some stuff from Cynic. I’d recommend something off of their first album, Focus (1993). Here’s a drum cam of their song Veil of Maya ( ruclips.net/video/WimJPwLdGls/видео.html ). Hope you have a lovely day, Andy!
this is basically what happens if a fusion drummer wants to play metal. he's been training himself in jazz and fusion and then basically went to play in Death and laong with Cynic, creating a perfect hybrid of the two genres that still hasn't been surpassed to this day. No other band has had this natural flow and inventive yet muscial patterns and rhythmic ideas.
you NEED to check out his cynic live video from around the same time. It's a sideview of him and it's a full concert. Shows a pretty good view and gives a better insight on how creative, musical and overall insane Sean's playing is. He avoids flashy stuff but he doesn't need to impress anyone with that as his inventive patterns and playing are already impressive enough on their own
This reaction made my year 👌So glad you started with this piece 🤔He actually was (RIP)a Berkeley educated Jazz Drummer 🤘 Hence his hand techniques that I am so glad you clearly noted 👌 His playing with Death was approached as a Jazz Drummer stepping in to play extreme tempo Metal... I was literally saw them on this very tour 🤘 Flipping great reaction... You will be very very intrigued by seeing him play in other projects... When he is actually playing in his more comfortable progressive Jazz/Metal and Rock Projects... In Cynic and Gordian Knot for example his playing and technicality really really open up and breathe 👌
@@ignoblesavage5559 i cried at my corporate job at my desk when my coworker came up to me to give me "condolences on sean from cynic" - i hadnt even heard yet
RIP Chuck and Sean......2 Masterminds who are forever lost to this world. But we can eternally pay homage to what they have created for us and let it flow through our ears and hearts.
The album this came from (Human) was what set the stage for tech death. And Sean was a big part of that. He only did one album with Death, and was succeeded by Gene Hoglan. I saw Gene say in an interview once that he was blown away by Human, and he remembered saying "good luck if you ever need to replace that guy". And then one day Chuck (Schuldiner, the lead guitarist/vocalist/songwriter of Death) called him and asked him to join as the drummer. Gene was drumming for Death Angel back then, but splitting his time between drums and guitar. Gene said that joining Death and having to learn Sean's drumming forced him to lift his game, and ultimately choose to focus on drums. So we have the Gene that we have today, in part, due to Sean and Chuck. Sean changed the game, metal drumming took a huge leap forward thanks to him, and he doesn't get enough credit for that imo. Glad you enjoyed the vid, he's definitely a guy worth looking into more. RIP Sean.
This is one of the best picks yet. I've asked for Sean before as well. Do yourself a favor and listen to the entire Human album. And then listen to the Focus album by Cynic. And then just go ahead and listen to everything else Sean has ever done. Superior drummer. Great review Andrew! Be well!
Sean was an Amazing drummer. His drumming on the Death album Human is absolutely top notch. It still blows me away when I listen to it now. One of the best. Gone too soon 🤘😢
I dont know how many times ive seen this vid. Im totally blown away every time tho let me tell you. Part jazz, part experimental and unique and not very metal at all really?! More transcendent of genres. And no bloody triggers and stuff just good ol flawless technic and stamina😊🔥
I saw him playing on this tour in Cologne right from behind similar to that filmed position and really enjoyed the show. Then a roadie came and talked with him about what catering he would like - effortlessly while playing! I was a moderate drummer back then and would have never believed it could be possible to chat so relaxed while playing this kind of stuff!
@@NotMaks I synched that video to the actual demo song. Maybe I should upload it. Absolutely awesome drumming and recorded at a time when there were no real drop ins or multiple takes.
I've listened to this performance many times and I'm really glad that at 7:10 you picked up on the footwork because it went way over my head the first several times I heard this...
This man changed everything in drumming!!!! Drummers that play their entire life will never reach the depth and precision as SEAN!!!! I believe he was 21 at the time!!!! EVH of the drums!!! God rest his soul, and thank you!!! Forever a inspiration!!!!!
Sean was such a good guy! He came and played drums at my Rock For Charity event at the Rainbow Bar and Grill on the Sunset Strip! We did a Van Halen mini set and he killed it! RIP Sean, you are missed…here’s a link to one of the songs we did sorry for the bad quality :-( ruclips.net/video/Gl7nwJZjguw/видео.htmlsi=1FBMw6MiWBbugH3j
there's an documentary about the importance of Sean Reinert from DrumTalk. He change all the gameplay of metal Drumming. Sadly, he passed away a few years ago. If you want to see his left hand (TWSS!!), please check the last video that he plays with Cynic ruclips.net/video/WimJPwLdGls/видео.html
He wasnt really a metal guy but was talked into playing metal in the beginning. This absolute legend of metal drumming was "a jazz guy" in his own words.
I started to throw Seans name out there until I actually started looking through your vids. I was listening to these guys back when they were coming out. This album has been one of my all time favs and Sean still one of my fav drummers. Thanks for breaking this down.
Hey did you know he hit his hi hat with his foot when double kicking? I was lucky to talk to him and the band in a small gig like 20some people and got a picture of him explaining to my mate with the double pedal that he was used to jazz to always have ha hit hat pulse into the foot so when started double kick and metal he just keeped that pulse with the heel. Way back before it was kind of a legend having that double kick that fast and doing things on the hat with the heel... But to him was so natural. Such a nice guy and one of the most underrated drummers of all time. There is a big shift after him in metal drumming and thus in general drumming. Watch the tribute video Thomas Haake raving about him and Gene Hoglan saying that when first he heared "Human" he said, "I'm lucky I don't have to play that". R.I.P.
Sean was such a monster, specially for his age. Years ago someone mentioned his playing and described it as a cross between Neil Peart with a dash of Weckl and a heaping spoon of Lombardo. Perfect description. I really enjoyed this video.
No in-ears here! this is old school stage monitors and pretty much guaranteed damage to your hearing in some degree playing metal. Depending on the venue back then, playing this technical in perfect time was a superhuman feat.
Sean was an absolute legend for his time. Check out Van Williams from Nevermore because he plays similar but also steps it up a notch by playing ambidextrous....meaning he uses both hands to play normally usual snare and cymbals attributed to "regular" hands. Crazy to see live.
The subdivision on the bass drum is always the thing that comes to mind when I remember my first listening of the album... We say to ourselves at that moment that we have something special with Death!
You have to see these bands live. RIP Chuck. The drummers are always on point. I'm a huge Death Metal fan. Have been pretty much since it's beginnings. Death is one of few to many bands of the day that help pave the way for that extreme of music which spans the globe now in almost every culture.
Modern prog metal drumming was revolutionized by this man. And tons of drummers don't even realize. He may have not been a household name. But his reach on the music community is immeasurable
one of the most underappreciated, influential metal drummers of all time straight up. limited work in metal catalog wise, but all extremely unorthodox and genre changing. one of the real "boogeyman" guys that you don't hear about enough.
Im 50 and we know how insane the "Human" album was from guitar, bass and drumming, and lyrics! It's a masterpiece top to bottom. Those alive at the time know what this record means to metal. RIP SEAN AND CHUCK
It's important to admit that this guy was asking first. It was his gift that allowed the whole style to take a giant step forward. He changed the rules of the game! In addition to power and speed, he brought metal-drumming musicality! He was just the first. It is always difficult to be the first.
You have to do 2 of his other playthroughs in his other band. Evolutionary sleeper, and Adam's Murmur. It really showcases the differences in his playing, and similarities.
Voice is an instrument for me as guitars, drums. It gives the whole picture. Doesn't matter about what he sings at least for me. Listen to some Melodic Death Metal bands and you'll understand that without growling their music is not so tasty. Because voice, guitars, drum are the same fist!
Thank you Andrew for reviewing this gem. I like the way you react und how differentiated you explain stuff. Your eyes are as aware as Garrett Miller's (e.g. Sean's right hand finger technique). R.I.P. Sean Reinert...DEATH and his drumming changed my view on Extreme Metal Music, thus my life...
Adams Murmur by Cynic (ruclips.net/video/aMybE62gwmY/видео.html) is phenomenal. Whenever I wanna check out mastery, I watch that one. Its short but its gold.
You can´t see his left hand but at 2:25 you can see him doing ghost notes. So we get an idea it´s sick too :) Ride accents at 6:43 are also cool. Btw those weird toms are not toms but micked pads from eletronic drums. I know... :)
When I saw Sean's drum cam for the first time (it was Lack of Comprehension) I immedietaly noticed his right hand work. While watching, it gives some kind of an odd satisfaction, looks like his palm and wrist are natural extension of a drum stick while at the same time stick has limitless freedom of movement, it just flows, I cannot explain. Eversince I watch other drumers work I pay attention to how their hand moves - if I see something similar to Sean's I immediately know that the guy is a fucking pro.
This dude is the OG when it comes to extreme drumming. How do you wrap your head around this if you hear it first time back then? There wasn't anything like it...
Cool video. Death is an awesome band!! RIP Chuck Schuldiner (singer/guitarist). I’m a fairly new subscriber, I found out about you when you started doing Joey Jordison reaction vids. RIP Joey, as well. I like watching these metal video reactions. Great stuff, man, keep it up!!
I'll never forget When I worked @RelativityAtL, When I got my hands onthe PromoCassette of Human and couldn't wait to get home to blaze One before I"Fired it Up"&nearly Shit when I heard the Riculousness🤘God Bless you Chuck!!🙏❤️

ABSOLUTE LEGEND. Not only was this insane for 1991, but Sean was only 20 here!
Sean, Gene and Richard were innovative for their time
Why didnt he really make it after Death?
@@TheFbiFilesRepeat he played with cynic, give them a listen, he has a video on his own YT page playing evolutionary sleeper: watch it
@@bigbogh i will and get back to ya, thanks

Wow. Awesome info here. Thank you!
I love this type of back story.
I had fun playing this song to the grunge rock drummers i knew back in the day. They literally refused to believe it was real.
did he record the album too?
@@AndrewRooneyDrums he was just 20 years old at that time...impossible to reach...
IMO his drumming on Human is a masterpiece. Just an incredible mix of blistering speed and tasty chops.
absofruitley a masterpiece. the threads of his writing are still affecting stuff today
One reason why Human is still my #1 death metal album since it came out.
@@jason_108 totally agree with you, Human is THE Death Metal album.
@@jason_108 I still prefer Gene's drumming on ITP, but it would never sound like that if it weren't for Sean's drumming on Human
Sean changed the landscape in extreme drumming. he came out of the blue and took Death to a new level. So tasty.
Agree
Awesome Richie
The loss of Sean was a tremendous shock to the metal community, he was an influence for many drummers and even after 30 years his work is still respected and so brilliantly executed
Sean Reinert was a true beast! His drumming on Death - Human is probably the best metal drumming ever
Sean was so ahead of the curve with his playing, he was not just fast but so technically proficient and creative, especially way back in the 90s.
Totally agree with you,I think Steve ashiem is another death metal drummer from the original Floridian masters who is totally overlooked and underated, he is the Dave Lombardo of death metal in my opinion.
RIP Sean, he brought his jazz influences to heavy music, Death was on a different level back in the days, guitar riffs, drumming everything.
You should watch live in LA with Richard Christy on drums
Thanks for the tip!
Christy was C-c-c-rrrazy
sean and masvidal lovers😂
It seemed like Sean was light years ahead of his time when Death released this album! It’s a must listen to, the dynamics on drums are insane and the rest of the band is top notch as well
Agree Mike!
I'll never get over the stamina these guys have.
That's what she....

Same happened to me!
Lombardowas my hero, along with Vinnie Colaiuta.
But I was 17 (spring of 1994) and the album was Individual Thought Patterns with Hoglan on drums.
Shattered my brain.
My favorite drummer ever. R.I.P. Sean
9:35 - splash, crash, china !!! (all within a second) ❤❤ Sean Reinert Forever!
Sean Reinert changed the game! Ask Gene Hoglan.

I second the Cynic vote.... that album took forever to come out but man it still holds up to this day !
Coming up next!
one of the finest drummers to ever grace this channel with his performance

To me Sean Renert is the goat ... the one wanted me to be a drummer in the first place. His death really struck me hard ...
GREAT player!
Immeasurable creativity with impeccable technique. Sean was a joy to listen to.
Agree!
Thanks for watching... please be sure to sub! 🥁+ ☕️ = 🙌
This reaction made my year 👌So glad you started with this piece 🤔He actually was (RIP)a Berkeley educated Jazz Drummer 🤘 Hence his hand techniques that I am so glad you clearly noted 👌 His playing with Death was approached as a Jazz Drummer stepping in to play extreme tempo Metal...

You will be very very intrigued by seeing him play in other projects... When he is actually playing in his more comfortable progressive Jazz/Metal and Rock Projects...
In Cynic and Gordian Knot for example his playing and technicality really really open up and breathe 👌
That would explain some of the finer finesse in his playing. Clearly a student of drumming
Hopefully he's building another super group up there with Chuck Schuldiner, Jared Anderson and Ralph Santolla. R.I.P. Sean !!!
Indeed Chris!
Don't forget his Cynic bandmate Sean Malone, playing that fretless bass. He died within the same year...really sad year for Cynic fans like me.
@@ignoblesavage5559 i cried at my corporate job at my desk when my coworker came up to me to give me "condolences on sean from cynic" - i hadnt even heard yet
whats most impressive is that Sean was 20 years old in this video and playing at this level of technique.
RIP Shawn, masterful drumming. Pushing the limits of skill and making it look easy at the same time
You know Sean was an unbelievably amazing drummer when a badass drummer like Gene Hoglan calls him an influence.
Gene Hogland shit himself when he heard this the first time and realized that a New standard had byen set.
RIP
Sean was a BEAST a Very Good Clean Solid Metal Drummer... RIP Sean Reinhart....
Unbelievable drummer

Right on!Well stated,totally agree!!

his live “lack of comprehension” is just as impressive, if not more! you should check it out, he was genuinely one of a kind.
he also has studio footage for “pleading for preservation” and it is BONKERS

Sean was just incredible. Complete legend, may he Rest In Peace.

This man changed everything in drumming!!!! Drummers that play their entire life will never reach the depth and precision as SEAN!!!! I believe he was 21 at the time!!!! EVH of the drums!!! God rest his soul, and thank you!!! Forever a inspiration!!!!!
In fact he waS 19 when they recorded Human. 19, in case you thought that might be a typo.
It is one of the first drummers to put jazz techniques in metal.
Nope. Neil peart had that already covered way earlier.
One of the best of all time.
Yes Andre!
Sean was such a good guy! He came and played drums at my Rock For Charity event at the Rainbow Bar and Grill on the Sunset Strip! We did a Van Halen mini set and he killed it! RIP Sean, you are missed…here’s a link to one of the songs we did sorry for the bad quality :-(

I'll say this about Sean Reinhart, there's death metal drumming before Sean and death metal drumming after Sean.
Wow!
Sean is the great... really GREAT metal, fusion, jazz, progressive drummer!
It's important to admit that this guy was asking first. It was his gift that allowed the whole style to take a giant step forward. He changed the rules of the game! In addition to power and speed, he brought metal-drumming musicality! He was just the first. It is always difficult to be the first.
Found it. This was before I was subscribed. I was lucky enough to see him and death on this tour
he`s playing just like on record . amazing drummer
You have to do 2 of his other playthroughs in his other band. Evolutionary sleeper, and Adam's Murmur. It really showcases the differences in his playing, and similarities.
Yes Can't wait to see more Sean. Thanks William
You picked the best one 🙌
RIP Sean and Chuck. Legends never to be forgotten!
Steve Flynn from Atheist drum cam Morrisound 1991. You have to check this out!
this footage is a monument,for those who know,and for metal drummers of course
My favourite drummer of all time.
BOOM!
Voice is an instrument for me as guitars, drums. It gives the whole picture. Doesn't matter about what he sings at least for me. Listen to some Melodic Death Metal bands and you'll understand that without growling their music is not so tasty. Because voice, guitars, drum are the same fist!
Thank you Andrew for reviewing this gem. I like the way you react und how differentiated you explain stuff. Your eyes are as aware as Garrett Miller's (e.g. Sean's right hand finger technique).
R.I.P. Sean Reinert...DEATH and his drumming changed my view on Extreme Metal Music, thus my life...
Great to hear!
Adams Murmur by Cynic (ruclips.net/video/aMybE62gwmY/видео.html) is phenomenal. Whenever I wanna check out mastery, I watch that one. Its short but its gold.
YES! My favorite metal drummer (who’s a jazz guy!). Watch him play “Lack of Comprehension”. You will like my friend.
Death and Cynic are both craaaaazy good, the best actually
I know I already commented, haha...BUT
Rooney really explains the the attitude of writing and feeling your drums parts.... Right here 8:00
🙏
thanks for this video!!
No sweat Mario! 👊👌
20 years old in this video. Incredible.
You can´t see his left hand but at 2:25 you can see him doing ghost notes. So we get an idea it´s sick too :)
Ride accents at 6:43 are also cool.
Btw those weird toms are not toms but micked pads from eletronic drums. I know... :)
When this album first came out, the first thing that caught my attention was the drums. Amazing album. RIP Reinert & Schuldiner
When I saw Sean's drum cam for the first time (it was Lack of Comprehension) I immedietaly noticed his right hand work. While watching, it gives some kind of an odd satisfaction, looks like his palm and wrist are natural extension of a drum stick while at the same time stick has limitless freedom of movement, it just flows, I cannot explain. Eversince I watch other drumers work I pay attention to how their hand moves - if I see something similar to Sean's I immediately know that the guy is a fucking pro.
Yes you can tell from the flowing technique and control going on!
This dude is the OG when it comes to extreme drumming. How do you wrap your head around this if you hear it first time back then? There wasn't anything like it...
Cool video. Death is an awesome band!! RIP Chuck Schuldiner (singer/guitarist). I’m a fairly new subscriber, I found out about you when you started doing Joey Jordison reaction vids. RIP Joey, as well. I like watching these metal video reactions. Great stuff, man, keep it up!!
Thank you so much!
I'll never forget When I worked @RelativityAtL, When I got my hands onthe PromoCassette of Human and couldn't wait to get home to blaze One before I"Fired it Up"&nearly Shit when I heard the Riculousness🤘God Bless you Chuck!!🙏❤️
Check out the album version of the song.
imagine playing double kicks at that speed back in 1990...
He’ll always be the best!🔥
A legend gone to soon. RIP Sean
RIP
_Flattening of Emotions_ - YEAH 🤘!
"That's what she said." 🤣 That one still works, keep it up!
'Keep it up'
I see what you did there...
@@AndrewRooneyDrums 😁😁😁
Didn't even know the band was that old, i've only found them through spotify... they sound so modern considering
