@@neilmaccanbell9813 Well yes but only because they manufactured on a larger scale before Tama did. So their endorsements were more attractive and they definitely used social media earlier on. Ive always been Tama until they went to China. Im not paying MIJ prices for MIC lol at least Pearl went to Taiwan and still makes kits in the US. But Tama is definitely a renowned prog/metal brand. It just sucks you can only get MIJ drums if you shell out for a Star kit or find a exported MIJ starclassic maple.
Well, TAMA will definitely want their money’s worth from David, exposure wise, after supplying him with that drool worthy 9 piece kit. Mind you, the most costly components in his setup would have to be his plethora of extremely exxy Murat Diril cymbals. Edit : They can set you back in excess of $1000 a piece!
The 32nd notes at that tempo alone at the 4:00 mark were simply impressive to say the very least.. Then the winding down to 16th note triplets and finally 16th notes and out was a real nice touch.. Seemed very natural.. Stellar performance..
Good lord. This is some of Obscura's fastest material to date and David is just blazing through these tracks like a world class act. The amount of techniques and changes being applied in this song is absolutely mind melting. On a beautiful Tama kit. David's performance is just top notch.
@@berenjarrett4210 ill be catching Obscura tonight actually! Unfortunately I don't think David will be on this tour I believe they're having Gabe Seeber fill in and pull a double duty this tour. Im excited to catch them with this lineup
@@thedruidzmademe666 also i'm interested if Muenzner plays the solo in Akroasis(or the other songs he didn't play the solo) or does he just do his own stuff like Trujillo did at first
It's always great to see my favourite drum company showcase one of my favourite drummers. The accuracy and agility of David is a sight (and sound) to behold. Truly a monster in his field.
This is just next level playing! How the hell are these young guys this good and how is it humanly possible to play like this?. Maybe I should have sold my soul to the Satan.🤔
When I was a kid and I started playing over fifteen years ago, dream theater was the technical goal to achieve for me. Now I look at these guys and the music they play nowadays and it feels like learning a dream theater song is equivalent to learning an ACDC or a kiss song seemed to be back then.
@@King-Gilamashur2758 Exactly... it's truly remarkable what the human body can achieve. If we played like this when we were young we would have been famous for sure, now it seems to just be the norm.
@@SmallSoldier He's famous today because he plays like this :D it's completely uncommon in 2022 to have this level. The thing is, with internet and plateforms like youtube, we have access to the best musicians and we watch them rather than the vast majority of "regular" musicians. We are becoming used to see perfection like this by the few 1% and tend to forget the 99% that are really good but not that good. It's still amazing and incredibly hard to manage to play Dream Theatre in 2022 !! we just forget it because we only watch the bestest :D But it's also true that there is this thing of learning in the tracks of our elders and what was new and difficult for them becomes easier with time because they had time to debunk and decompose the technics and transmit them in a more understandable way to the younger generations. Sorry for this long and not really structured answer... My 2cts.
@@King-Gilamashur2758 Except no drummer can play Learning To Live as the album version XD Technical speed is different than what technical ability DT requires.
At 1:35 that use of up note ska/Copland like style (on the stack) in concert with his straight forward footwork is by far in my opinion the best show of his chops and ability to make the ordinary, extraordinary.
You Tube’s notifications have let me down. I have this dude on the highest defcon alert possible... yet, nothing. Mesmerising playthrough with the surgical precision of a neurosurgeon. I wouldn’t even listen to OBSCURA if David wasn’t the drummer. Musically brilliant, but just not what arouses me. Edit : Loved Sebastian’s work with them also.
I forced myself to learn it for my playing after obsessing on french grip for a long time. Can confirm. Can play faster for longer and it just opens up other avenues in your playing with time
Deffo check out Wanja Groger, he uses push pull aswell, also does an extremely strange foot technique, using heel toe but playing singles instead of doubles
@@TheRozzleNozzle This foot technique is explained in detail by Jojo Mayer in his 2nd DVD, Steve Smith talks about it also, it's not really a heel toe technique, it's more like a hybrid technique alternating heel up and heel down
Fuckin Heil brother! I've been an absolute fan for years and despite having come to terms that I'd never witness your brutality live, LO AND BEHOLD you and Obscura are coming to San Diego in about a week's time. I can't fucking wait and stoked is nothing short of an understatement!
His ability to go in and out of the push/pull technique with his left hand while maintaining that level of accuracy and power is completely nuts. Never seen anything like it.
Amazing Drumming as Always but and the rest bands musicians are incredible with fantastic musical ideas!!Of course is Extreme Metal but at his bests!!!
And this... is extreme metal drumming. The majority of the people who are subscribed to this channel won't appreciate the skills of David. Simply because they are not be used to "such amount of noise".
Isn't it great that both death metal and black metal drummers have really pushed the envelope with fast but comfortable hand and foot techniques! Thanks to METAL!
My heart breaks that I did not have a chance to see you live last fall. Any chance for A Valediction tour in Europe this fall? (If so, please don't skip Hungary!!!)

David Diepold, you are the God of Drums. Obscura is lucky to have you as a part of the band.
Nooooooo That would be Neil Peart...
Unfortunately Neil isn't here any longer
@@XXXCRSPL 😢
@@RCSkunkWorX Neil is legend forsure but watching David play metal like this sets the bar so high for where I’m at on the drums. Insane.
Neil Peart could never play that, even half speed lol
Diepold's precision is unmatched
Well done Tama, getting a extreme drummer on their official channel
I had to double check it’s not the german channel, this is crazy !
Tama does dominate in Metal XD

David's ease of facility is ridiculous!! He never looks stressed or struggled. Probably the finest tuned drummer Ive ever seen.
It's always great to see my favourite drum company showcase one of my favourite drummers.

Insane!! I've never seen such amazing double kick patterns played so accurately !!

Phenomenal as always! Honestly I would of not picked anyone else but David to take over for Sebastián in Obscura!
The Goat of modern tech death drumming, so dam clean
Probably album of the year for me and this song and the drumming definitely sits at the top!
I got my tickets for the march show in Portland Oregon I can't fckn wait to see David live
I like the push-pull on the blast beats... feel like I don't often see that

Everytime I hear you drum I fall in love. You have mastered your craft and now you using push/pull is it's even better. Thank you.
Fantastic drumming and drummer...
That push-pull blast technique is so satisfying to watch.
absolutely insane - you have to love it !
in.....in....in....in....goddamn incredible!!!!!!! what a speed man.....clearly god of metal drums.....love your drumming
David has really leveled up Obscura, which is really saying something. Fuck yeah man
Great sound of drums!!
2:15 that sudden melodic assault YES!
MIND-BLOWING
When the start song playin, feels like im holding my breath til the end song. Sick🙌🏼
I hate how easy this looked for him.
just another Wednesday for David
Tama star drums just sound the best
OMG!!!!!!! what a crazy sound !!!!!! i love this drum! 👊🤟🤟🥁
Gorgeous push pull technique!
Best feet on the planet. Poor David having to play all these masterpieces live!
Absolutely awe inspiring! 😧
Du bist einfach der krasseste Drummer 🤘
Es ist ein Fest 😀
This is the song where the band told David to go absolutely nuts.
David I enjoy the sound that You get from your drum
Sheeesh, we need more videos like this one!!!
Checkout his original channel then 👍
Amazing !
That left hand push pull has evolved into freakish form.
🤘🥁🤘 love Tama I use my 2005 StarClassics on the road got the British racing green MIJ
I can CONFIDENTLY say that he is one of the best black metal drummers of all time. In my opinion one of the best drummers of all time.
Todo cena ou cenário de metal extremo esse cara tá envolvido, simplesmente o melhor da atualidade.
mas os caras são lambreovos do eloy casagrande affff
Beautiful 😍😍😍🤘🤘🤘
AMAZING MIRACLE
man, that's so nice of playing.
Those shell finishes!! 🔥 🤤

Absolute machine!
Fuck! That's just awesome! The playing, the sound and look of the kit... even the t-shirt is 💪
A melhor bateria do Mundo 🥁 Tama 🥁
The brand of the drums is not relevant when there's a good drummer behind the kit.
WOW what a machine 🤘🏼
🔥Krása🥁🤘🔥🥁🔥
not human! wow!
SICK. 🤘🏻
Phenomenally 🙏🙏🙏

That fill at 2:43!
What a killer sound!
Tama aways was my dream to have one
SICK🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Bro you are insane.

Too good. Damn 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
impréssionant!
Insane. He inspired me to sell my drum kit.
Also I really love the last Obscura album, so glad they reunited with Christian Münzner and Jeroen Thesseling, both incredible musicians.
Ispired you to sell your drums. 🤣
It may not be my style of music, but this guy is amazing with speed and technique.
Is this when David are still under the training of push-pull technic for his right arm?
Great t-shirt....I have it 😊👍🏻
And this... is extreme metal drumming. The majority of the people who are subscribed to this channel won't appreciate the skills of David. Simply because they are not be used to "such amount of noise".
Preach brother!
Best on the planet
Surely the double ride thing is an homage to The Rev? Would love if it was!
Its his own leauge, period
Dude…wow…
WE NEED AN INSTRUMENTAL VERSION OF AN ALBUM

Wowwww!!!
Amazing drumming! Is he using the Startphonic Copper snare?
The double kick at 3:15 🎉
Be a a Metal drum hero. You're doing it right.
Hooooolyyyyy shit! 🔥🤘🏼🔥
I personally feel like Hannes and Sebastian brought a level of nuance that's missing here.
Beast 🤟🤟🤟🤟
Walnut kit?
Yep.
Fireball was yesterday
WOW
I would love to see a challenge with David, Lord Marco and Prewett. And maybe Adam Bjork or the guy from Signs of the swarm. I think David can win
What a god..
Brutal \m/
You are a freak dude. I love how you play
Incredibilis
Mierda, es una máquina este tipo .
Это фантастика!!! Мне кажется - это Паганини на ударных...Потрясающе...
