Merci Damien de cette projection meta artistique. Vraiment je t'admire en tant que pseudo batteur de ta virtuosité; de ton inventivité, de tes métaphores artistiques qui font de toi un tout..

[@Sithreis]

Ive seen a lot of drummers over the years and seen a lot use toms to get a double bass sound, but good god the fill at 1:14 (and the lead up to it) is impeccable. Killer stuff as always

Great job! 🙏👍

[@azizbouziane8742]

Merci Damien pour hier chez loops à Saint Brieuc.

[@tempse]

WOW, this is amazing! So much creativity, such technical proficiency!
I particularly liked the hi-hat game in the "quiet" parts.
What a brilliant piece, Damien!

[@zusmo92]

i love your drumming style aaaa since 2010

[@duv1982]

Speed, pression and power, mixed with impeccable groove. Absolute killer combo. Joy to watch a master at work.

[@keyboardtek]

Techno keyboard composers double the drum track tempo to achieve this hyper drum track effect. It used to be considered too fast for humans to play this style. Damien may be the only drummer who can do this so accurately.

[@rathjens]

Très bien, Damien ! Tu es mon batteur préféré !

[@gillesbatteur5921]

Toujours aussi impressionant, techniquement au top sans oublier une musicalité parfaite ! Chapeau bas ! 👍👍👍👍👍

[@iosephculic3125]

[@LeandroDaloi]

Tin la violence mec ! Tu as su allier technicité au service de la musicalité... Une vraie harmonie des deux. Et ça, un tel équilibre, c'est du talent qui en dit long. En plus avec une très bonne zik du poto Nico, je ne peux qu'avoir un grand sourire en voyant tout ça ! :D Bravo !

[@patrickekogha2087]

A écouter (et à regarder), ce n'est que du bonheur!

[@larrytate1657]

Awesome. How did you begin to work on your 32nd note fills!?

[@ALJessica]

This is really great drumming :) what in-ears are you using ?

[@fiveshorts]

Damien, would you ever consider a collaboration/duet with J D Beck?

[@sixelavii_6894]
