This man’s playing is eclipsed by his heart. Not asking for money directly to him, but if you got the disc or video on the internet for free, to donate what it’s worth to you to a charity. That speaks volumes of his character.
I've always heard about Gene, not realy familiar with him. That is the thing that stood out to me about him, he seems like a real good dude, prob one of the nicest guys around.
Gene NEVER gets the respect he deserves. Anytime there’s a “greatest drummers” list put out by anyone, he is rarely ever mentioned. CRIMINALLY underrated and under appreciated 🤘🏻😈🤘🏻
@@kimhoffmannandersen5477 Fair point; most of the time, those “top drummer” lists aren’t even put together by actual drummers/musicians; let alone those who actually know and appreciate heavy music. That comment was more for those people and less for those of us that know better lol. When I say “criminally underrated”, I was talking in the grand scheme of things. Of course we in the metal community know and respect his chops. 🤘🏻😈🤘🏻
@karlarmitage9406 Hell yeah! I got to see a DTA tour as well! Quite a few years ago now. 2010s. They played the Human album in full. It was incredible. What an excellent way to keep Chuck's legacy going. RIP Chuck. I got the Spiritual Healing logo tattooed on my forearm. It was released the year I was born.
@@petarpavasovic6333yeah and the pedal thing is a myth too. i’m a good drummer but my mate james plays in decapitated and he wears vans and plays iron cobras at silly high speeds so
One of the most ingenious and inspirational drummers of all time. Play (or try to play) any of the songs on Symbolic and try to realise what it takes to come up with this stuff.
my favorite drummer in metal gene hoglan (Death) dave lombardo (Slayer) nick menza (Megadeth) charlie benante (Anthrax) vinnie paul (Pantera) chris adler (Lamb of god)
I don’t think there is a huge difference in age between me and gene, but he reminds me of a weird zen like master grandpa, just brimming with wholesomeness, niceness and drumming chops. I aren’t even a drummer and I get my pull if this. He’s just a master musician and a jolly nice fellow all round.
I love the that he is truly left handed and footed! Very noticeable when he does his warm up routine. His left hand has no problem with increasing the BPM. When he comes back to the right hand, he marginal decreases the speed. Just an observation. He is a lefty, no doubt.
No matter what band he's in you know its the atomic clock, hands down the most tasteful and influential death metal drummers. The Neil Pert reference makes so much sense.
He have a lot of power and volume using 90%of time only wrists. Absolutely a master.i think he is the most relaxed metal drummer in history. He get out a lot of volume and power only use wrists.
Ty so much Gene it’s amazing I used the leg weights listening to Slayer laying in bed as a kid when I first heard death my mind was blown ! Great lesson here allot of great lessons !
29:47 a common thread in Gene's talks is the ease of his strength... like "i just keep the weights on, its comforting..." I think this air drumming might be a beastly reason. I'm often playing on pillows but air is even less rebound
I don't know but I really want the answer bc it's very good ! It really sound like dark angel but i think it's a solo compo bc I get all of DA records and it's not in any of them
@@michaelarlotto9405 that’s why I think it sounds liken Dark Angel because Gene writes guitar riffs for them. I know it’s not a Dark Angel song. Gene being the humble guy he is probably decided not to credit himself for it
I bought this DVD years ago the extras are great too, he talked about his kit and his pedals and how he once mounted a metal boat propeller onto his kit and used to play it
@@unkind78 its also on the symbolic album recorded in one of the songs, can't remember which one... but I think he mentions in the extras as this is on youtube down the rabbit hole.
literally the holy grail of metal. 0 ppl know what band, 0 ppl know what song. all we know is that gene drummed the track. if you can find anything, you will have found what is pretty much an ancient metal artifact lost to time.
I am now 7 mounths sober....I havent touched my 10 piece drumm kit in allmost a year But!!.. because of Glen Im playing again! thanks glenn!!!.... much love man! Clinton Dearborn from NH USA
Does anyone know what song is playing at the very beginning of the video, before Gene starts talking? after he shows the link. music for 3 minutes exactly
Thanks for the homework and inspiration! You remind me of a kid in a candy store! Your ergonomics are amazing! When I play anything close to the tempo you are at or style, I have to wear nothing but shorts and I pour sweat after just 5-10 minutes. How are you doing this without sweating? So smooth! Showing the human side of music is also one of my favorite things to see and show. I hate that I miss notes or make mistakes, but we all come from knowing nearly nothing when we start playing, so making mistakes makes me laugh more now than feel introspective. Many of the times the human factor, mistakes, and feel that doesn't line up with traditional interpretation are what makes us us. Great playing! I'll put "Native Blood" and everything else off Dark Roots of the Earth by Testament at the top of the heap. I'm sure all of your other bands and endeavors are equally amazing, but I haven't had time to listen to them all yet.
Gene you need to play this beat with some jazz musicians... you are much closer to a broken beat ride pattern than you know 34:17. get a sax player to go Ornette Coleman over this, and a really monsterous bass player
I'm doing lots of freeze frame as I'm watching this. I think there is something to be said about Gene's boots and the height of the heel, how it helps him keep his foot elevated
this is one amazing man, what a big heart and possibly the best drummer ITW, deff the GOATdrumming and looking like eeeeh its just another day relaxed and brutal

He is known to be one of the nicest guys in metal.
He rocks as hard as he gives!
Work hard , play hard!
how so? the outcome for him is the same either way
it's called virtue signalling, and you fell for it.
@@psychwardsandSCENEwhat a nice thing to say

17:34 " I'm a really lazy drummer, i like to make everything really easy "
Plays with boots and weights
“Tons of double bass and tons of groove and taste” Gene Hoglan
Gene Hoglan is such a great drummer and an even greater person. He's so nice and down to Earth.
Great to see Gene still kicking ass!! We went to high school together in Long Beach. Love you brother.
That’s awesome. I wish I could have went to high school with him. I’m sure we would have been friends.
I wish I could say I went to school with Gene. I’m sure we would be friends.
His playing was so ahead of our time and unbelievably good.

It's okay the metal community knows how great he is. That's what counts
@@kikiokiki6788you dissing the hog???
@@ryonmurphy3797 my point is people my age worship the guy. perhaps it's different in the younger generation?
Gene is a legend. Watched him perform for 3 bands in one night. Absolutely legendary.
I saw him play for 2 bands one night. I want to say it was SYL and Opeth.
Incredible talent
Seen him in dark angel Death and Death to all always amazes me so talented 🤟

He's so sickeningly good...so few of us will ever get anywhere near his playing...he's insane, a legend.
Gene Hoglan wore such a heavy boots and drum accurately AF. Mind blown.
Doesn't really matter what you wear as long as you have good technique
@@petarpavasovic6333yeah and the pedal thing is a myth too. i’m a good drummer but my mate james plays in decapitated and he wears vans and plays iron cobras at silly high speeds so
This has to be THE most unusual footwear on a drummer I've ever seen.
God level drummer and character,absolute legend
One of the most ingenious and inspirational drummers of all time.
Play (or try to play) any of the songs on Symbolic and try to realise what it takes to come up with this stuff.
I brought this on DVD when it first came out from Gene's website. This guy is an incredible drummer and a very nice person too.
Speechless. Literally fricken speechless praise hail hoglan
Gene is amazing. One of the best metal drummers in history and a really nice guy on top of it!
Swear, this guy one the most amazing humans.
You are an absolute unit Gene.

Thank you so much, finally, because this didn't get released in my country!🙏 You are a true DRUMMING LEGEND, Gene! 💪Lots of love, from India!👏👌

What’s the name of the first song he plays on this video?
Super accomplished, chops are ridiculously good and he remains humble. What a star! Thanks Gene for this amazingly inspiring video
Absolute BEAST on the drums!! Nicest man you would ever want to meet!!
No matter what band he's in you know its the atomic clock, hands down the most tasteful and influential death metal drummers. The Neil Pert reference makes so much sense.
24:56 best part

El baterísta bueno toca de muñeca a lo jazz 🎺
check out nick barker from old dimmu, he was an animal too
Undoubtedly the most interesting sounding Metal drummer to date. His beats just speak with the rest of the music.

does anyone know the song Gene plays in the intro? Band, album, title?
It sounds quite Dark Angel like to me. It might be a solo song with him on guitar. He is the main songwriter in that band, along with Jim Durkin
I don't know but I really want the answer bc it's very good ! It really sound like dark angel but i think it's a solo compo bc I get all of DA records and it's not in any of them
@@michaelarlotto9405 that’s why I think it sounds liken Dark Angel because Gene writes guitar riffs for them. I know it’s not a Dark Angel song. Gene being the humble guy he is probably decided not to credit himself for it
a lot of the music from this dvd is from Mechanism, his main gig at the time of filming
18:55
Carcass, Cannibal Corpse and Strapping Young Lad. I now know where I'm going if I had a time machine
Whats the song called at the beginning? At 0:30
What a phenomenal video. Those warm up exercises are incredibly effective.
Gene Hoglan seems so kind the way he talks
He's an amazing drummer, makes all these slamming groves look effortless and they sure aren't!! Shit you beatbox with your mouth he can do by foot!!!
Can someone tell me what's the name of the song at 1:20?
let me know when you find out
best snare sound ever
Thank you
I bought this DVD years ago the extras are great too, he talked about his kit and his pedals and how he once mounted a metal boat propeller onto his kit and used to play it
You can see that propeller in Philosopher video and in live videos from Death from that era.
@@unkind78 its also on the symbolic album recorded in one of the songs, can't remember which one... but I think he mentions in the extras as this is on youtube down the rabbit hole.
Gene seems like one of the coolest people on the planet.
TT Master Gene Hoglan
Best of the best.....!!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘
He is the Bob Ross of drumming.
Whats the first song they open with?

That's SICK!!

I love Genes kit. That deep snare sounds really good.
I love when drummers show that proper technique means you can wear fucking boots when you play.
The best
He looks like 00's Era Anselmo, but 3XL

The be-a-st !
song from the intro is called "i love acdc" by mechanism but it literally does not exist anywhere else except this video, correct me if im wrong
Does anyone have the Extras? It’s a run down of the kit he plays and talks about the pedals he uses? I’d love to see it!
THAT'S, a f**king opening. I will 100% be doing that. Top shelf dude.
Hey, according to the Old Man’s Child album, his name is HOGLAND. There are things I should definitely do get right
Boots and ankle weights is just a slap in the face....
I finally just ordered some leg weights bro! Been wanting to try it
At 5:50 in video, does he use weight bags on his ankles?
Gene Hoglan is a living leyend.
Gene you need to play this beat with some jazz musicians... you are much closer to a broken beat ride pattern than you know 34:17. get a sax player to go Ornette Coleman over this, and a really monsterous bass player
what a beast,also what is the intro song
17:09 LOL
It was released 12 years ago. Back then we didn't know better.
@@InzidenzPanik ik its funny tho
23:24 LMAO
@@InzidenzPanikno, that *was* when we knew better
YO. 6:43 is DIRTY
I'm doing lots of freeze frame as I'm watching this. I think there is something to be said about Gene's boots and the height of the heel, how it helps him keep his foot elevated
I’d be honored if anyone stole my licks!
Amazing video. Stellar drumming.
17:20 he's doing the mash potato!
Shuffle-up-agus...? Bhuel, cad eile?! :D
I dont know how to say this.... I play guitar..... but now I NEED a drum kit
Any love for Dark Angel out there?
One of the coolest guys on the planet!
Seriously ficking hell
Funkiest blast beats I've ever heard. Brilliant drummer.
this is one amazing man, what a big heart and possibly the best drummer ITW, deff the GOATdrumming and looking like eeeeh its just another day relaxed and brutal
Jeff from Carcass IS a sardonic SOB, thats why we love him!
Briliiant!
The chillies drummer used to do it to Herb from Primus
What is that song , long intro at the start
What song is playing with that beat
The hardest working man in metal. Seems to be one of the nicest as well. \m/
Gene Hoglan is one of those drummers who have a signature sound. Sooooo fucking good. So much work over the years.
Strapping Old Ankles?
Por favor traduzcan. Quiero aprender ja
Those SYL Dr. Martens boots are so badass.
¿En alguna parte del video 📹 toca con pesas por encima de las botas 👢?
I heard he goes by “The Ticking Time Bomb” by now
Legend 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
