    I can honestly say besides Ken being the kindest person on earth I can't recall Ken ever making a mistake during the 7 years I've played in Aborted.
    Best thing is, I once asked: Hey dude, did you play something different on those fills/breaks last night? Ken answered: "I just improvise it everytime".
    I swear seeing water burn wouldn't blow my mind as much as hearing those words.

    Well, about the topic of triggers, he did actually use triggers for the bass drum but many people don't really know their use and how they work. It's got nothing to do with improving your technique, evening out the hits and stuff like that(cus I've heard people saying that nonsense). Quite the opposite. Triggers let everybody know if you've made a mistake during your performance because they cut through the sound wall of all other instruments.
    Their use is purely to make the bass drum hits audible.

He writes a bunch of music, including non-metal stuff, too. 😊 As talented a human as he is, you’d be even more surprised by how down to Earth and really kind he is… you’d never know that talent resides in him w his humility.

I've never seen Aborted live, that'll change this coming june when they tour with a band that dare i say is faster, heavier and more technical in Archspire. I completely understand your astonishment at the skill level of this and every other extreme metal drummer. And yes, I've always been amazed at the fact that this is a human playing this, not a machine or computer. I thoroughly enjoyed your reaction video and your comments during and after this video.

    Hey Andrew, I want to suggest a drummer that you have reacted to already but it wasn't the best showcase of that band.
    If you find the time then please have a look at Blake Richardson playing Ants of the Sky live. It also is a drum cam video so you can get a really good look! A masterclass in setting up new parts in songs, peak metal drumming and just all around enjoyable to watch.
    Best regards from Germany !

    Ken and Aaron Kutcher are the only drummers I’ve heard whose blast beats don’t drag. They sound like machine guns - which I guess was always the idea!

    I watched some of his clips in the studio with Kohlerkeller studios page. Ken jus, rips through some of the fastest parts, effortlessly, flawlessly. He's definitely a master at his craft.
    Oh yeah, the cotton candy finish on his kit, is notable, too. 🤘

    I don't know if Ken is human or cyborg, the speed, changes, techniques are phenomenal, i can say and swear Ken is the best drummer in AborteD's history.

    I used to play in a death metal band and have toured and seen some of the best drummers on the planet come through Australia. Ken, is one of the most flawless ever, ever. Night after night, the consistency and everything to do with his playing, was beyond a joke.
    Also, next request - more Jamie Saint Merat!!! :D

    Economy of motion! I knew in my playing, I'm working too hard - and this video is proof. This guy absolutely is crushing it without excess movement / wasted energy. Absolutely beautiful. I've seen others with some bits and pieces, but this guy is indeed impressive! Great recommendation and reaction.
    Fulcrum - "air in your grip": I have just discovered this. Now on day 20-something of playing Stick Control single beat combinations 1-24 daily, and I have been trying to rid the death grip from my left hand - and now the stick is sliding up, sliding down, and getting dropped. lol. Always awesome when you mention something in a video I am working on - and it is a common problem. nice!
    (as an aside, I'm enjoying the Drumeo pad (and sticks (insanely resonant!)) a heck of a lot more than I expected. Great purchase. Thanks for the recommend.)

    That's why I like George Kollias so much. Dude flys a million miles an hour in Nile. But then he'll sit there and play jazz with some dudes in Greece.

    You have obviously already done most of the big names and greats in metal so I would like to throw in a lesser known.
    Jason bowld, he has played in a variety of styled bands from extreme to even electronic music, bands like axewound , this is menace and my favorite pitchshifter, some of his equipment sponsor demos are mind blowing and some of his drum and bass style videos blew me away, a easy start would be “this is menace- return the favour , drum cam “ though . Or if you can find one of his old drum rom videos

    You know I've been away from drums for ages now (no practice room unfortunately) but I've taken up lifting, and this is the equivalent of a guy casually squatting 800 pounds for reps.
    I agree with you, the guy seems to have a good sense of groove too. Juicy fills. And indeed it's very rare to witness such double bass speed pulled off live and SO FREAKING CLEAN, as triggers will accentuate any sloppiness.

    This guy is SO GOOD. Awesome reaction, and please, even if you'll make a reaction video or not, but please check out Ken Bedene rocking out on a tiny 4-piece kit, blasting away. The fill around 1:53 is just plain impossible and gives my tinglies in my happy place. Video here: ruclips.net/video/opXJQ7RcqPE/видео.html Beast of a drummer.
