Go for it.
Blake Richardson, the drummer for Between The Buried And Me, does some cool shit. Check out his playthrough of Voice Of Trespass, that's a vibe
Liege of Inveracity by Suffocation is a good one. Some cool tempo changes and prominently features the hammer blast, where the kicks and snare are played at the same tempo
They come out on stage - play their insanely good music which ppl love and just leave.
Epic! 🤘💪 badass, r they American?
Polish
@@yarpyarp85 They are from Poland as stated already :)
also no playing for an encore, no talking to the audience, just playing
I'm not sure if anyone already mentioned, Darkside is a percussionist and used to play the xylophone. I think most of his cymbal work comes from that background, crazy creative stuff when applied to extreme metal.
Yesss totally someone mentioned that. So cool and makes perfect sense. 🤘🤘
you should check more videos of darkside, one of the most creative drummers out there
I will for sure! It’s so hard to sound original in the drums and this dude is definitely doing it. Stoked to hear more! 🙏
This bell part is just so sick and the fact he does not lose the back beat is insane!!!!! I definitely would like to see you try it :D
Baard Kolstad soon? ;) I am pretty sure you get a lot of requests though
I’m gonna do it for the next video or maybe one of the next ones. I’m so busy with bleed lolol. And ya that’s the best part that the back beat is super consistent through out right! 🤘🤘
Darkside is Maciej Kowalski - he has a channel on YT, real pity he barely put's something on it 😅but this year he has finally pleased us with some new stuff 😉 -> ruclips.net/video/ViCpkyxLAgQ/видео.html This is song from his other project and so... he is the bell boy...I mean... guy 😁 nonetheless he is THE drummer 🤘
Ya he’s pretty frigging awesome and the polish octopus is an apt name fo show. I’m gonna check this out, thanks!🤜🤛🤜🤛
@@yarpyarp85 There is at least one more video worth watching... Not a Darkside video but a cover done by Kevin Paradis -> ruclips.net/video/WGwVazzBI8w/видео.htmlsi=4u-Y9mecfZTQcr2y This is from another Darkside's band named Kriegsmachine ( his and M from Mgła). Darkside has a short clip of 'splash part' only on his YT but Kevin did the whole song! And as expected - he did it brilliantly! Would love to see the whole song by Darkside though😅
Darkside is dope as fuck both on record and live. Fantastic drummer.
And yes, definitely learn the pattern, probably fun to play.
Also, the vocals are very typical to the genre (Black Metal) and to me they're perfect.
Ya the more I hear them they grow on me🤘🤘
Kriegsmaschine is a side project of Mgla(pronounced mg-wah) where Darkside plays in a completely different style, which is interesting, that he changes things up so much in different contexts.
And yes, you should learn the pattern!
Aaahhh interesting so he’s versatile too. I love his style on this and his hand speed is crazy! I’m gonna try it and I’ll post it in an upcoming reaction! 🤘🤘
Also Hauntologist it's a project of Darkside (drummer) and The Fall (bass guitar,guitar, vocals), I highly recommend.
Fun fact☝️I played the spoons accenting all his bell hits during this performance but I did not want to steal his thunder so I told them NOT to mic me up….
Great reaction🤘This entire album is a masterpiece
Hey ambassador! Lolol I believe it bro, rocking those spoons🤘 thanks eh!!
I keep forgetting suggesting this guy, but yeah, his often fairly bell centric cymbal patterns are something he sure is known for, he has a lot of these nifty little chimey grooves in store on the "Exercises in Futility" album
Sick ya I figured. Definitely found his niche with the bell stuff. 🤜🤛
what about Kerim ´Krimh´ Lechner (Septicflesh, Daath, his own project, ex-Decapited and others, fill in live for Behemoth and others) or Evgeny Novikov (Slaughter to Prevail, ex-Katalepsy, socks, gravity blasts, playing with his sticks backwards and all that good stuff 😉) and maybe Eugene Ryabchenko (Fleshgod Apocalypse and many, many things) and maybe few of the Obscura guys (Obscura is technical progressive death metal band based in Germany) Hannes Grossmann, David Diepold (current drummer) or Sebastian Lanser (current Obsidian and also Panzerballett, which music is described as a jazz-metal)
Check out Nils "Dominator" Fjellström performing Celestial Deconstruction with 1349!
Or him playing Godhate with Dark Funeral! If you are impressed by endurance
I probably should I’ve definitely heard that name a couple of times. Thanks!
Now you've covered all the drummers I've recommended since I found your channel! Awesome!
Darkside is great on the bells; I heard that his style is a result of his classical percussion training where he majored in xylophone. Definitely his cymbal flourishes and use of bells is what sets him apart from most drummers, let alone drummers in the extreme scene. I'm sure that bell section while maintaining the steady double kick and the back beat on the snare is what has made this video in particular go viral; it's definitely something unique!
Some more drummers you might enjoy listening to: Navene Koperweis is currently in a project called ENTHEOS with his newly wed wife; he plays all the guitars and drums and she writes the lyrics and does the vocals. On the records they have their friend and amazing bassist Evan Brewer who is currently in Fallujah and used to be in Animosity with Navene which they both started when they were teenagers. Navene is also the original drummer for Animals as Leaders, but he left after recording their second album, as he was feeling artistically constrained. Amazing drummer worth checking out!
ENTHEOS do have a live band, Navene plays drums live and they have some good guitarists to tour with them. They just use stems of the bass for live though; Evan's a monster on the bass and since they're close friends for decades, I doubt they want to look for a replacement despite the fact that Evan is too busy with Fallujah and his family to really tour.
Speaking of Animals as Leaders, their current drummer is a Berklee graduate and a prodigy; some consider him one of the best living drummers today. His name is Matt Garstka and definitely worth checking out. He is far less influenced by extreme metal drumming than he is influenced by gospel and jazz, but he mixes all kinds of styles beautifully... And he's one of those drummers who prefers the sound of acoustic drums to triggers but still enjoys using double kick patterns.
For something more extreme, check out our neighbors, First Fragment from Quebec. Their current drummer has a great playthough; look for "Soif Brûlante Drum Playthrough by Nicholas Le Fou Wells." Forest is on bass for that band; I mentioned him a long time ago on your Death reaction. He's probably my favorite bassist in the extreme metal scene. I opened for one of the bands he was in when he was playing with Quo Vadis; they had just released an album where they had Steve Digorgio (the bassist on Death's album "Individual Thought Patterns", which the song you reacted to is off of) do session bass. Forest is probably one of the few bassists who could fill Steve's shoes, especially back then in the early 2000's when the metal scene was anemic. I also opened for Forest in his other band (which he is still in and is still going strong, despite the fact that their lead songwriter/guitarist/vocalist has a full time job as a high school teacher!) Augury in that era too! First Fragment is an incredibly talented band, so I can't recommend them enough!
I'd also recommend checking out Beyond Creation's video for "Omnipresent Perception", which also has Forest on bass; less so about watching the drummer and more so the entire band. Almost a decade ago Forest left that band as they started to get popular and he helped them find a replacement with one of his bass students, Hugo! Hugo's also a beast on the fretless bass! Alternatively, if you want to focus on their drummer, their current drummer, Phillip Boucher has some good, official play throughs online. He's also a former drummer of First Fragment!
Dude thanks so much for this comment, so much interesting stuff and awesome information. I took a screen grab and I’m gonna go over it to make sure I don’t miss anything. So cool you’ve opened for all of these legendary players and your knowledge of metal is crazy. I’m kinda like this with jazz and all the spin off projects of certain drummers and what not. But ya so happy I got to all the drummers you have recommended. More to come I hope!!
Everything Darkside does is flawless. Whether he's playing in Hauntologist, Mgla or Kriegsmaschine, he will take every composition to the next level.
He's the most musical drummer alive today.
You should definitely make a video of you doing the bleed double bass pattern mixed with the bell pattern from this at the same time and see how much you hate yourself or me
Hahahahah 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️ u must really want me to jump out a window. Let me see if I can whip something together. Haha
I've posted it under another video of yours. It's another drummer, Kevin Paradis, covering Darkside's drumming from his side band Kriegsmaschine. Unfortunately it's not a touring band so it's not possible to see Darkside performing it, but Kevin did a fantastic job covering Residual Blight. It's a totally different approach to drumming compared to what Darkside is presenting in Mgła. Link below, would be super cool if you'd reacted to it, or just watch it and let us know your thoughts. Cheers!
ruclips.net/video/WGwVazzBI8w/видео.html&ab_channel=KevinParadis
Do a video of you learning this song, breaking it down and teaching it! Would be awesome.
That could be a thing for sure, just that part where he sustains the bell pattern and then turns it all inside out is probably out of my league lolol but who knows. Never know till I try. 💪💪thanks eh!
@@yarpyarp85 I'm pretty sure he plays with the pattern when doing live. Go with the album version?
Dan Presland (Ne Obliviscaris) And plague flowers the kaleidoscope studio playthrough
Darkside may not be the fastest or hardest hitting metal drummer but damn that bell work is on point.
Totally dude!!😊
Loving the reactions. Found your channel from the Ulcerate video, was stoked to see you reacted to this too. Love Darkside. Hope to see you react to more of both
Dude! Thanks so much definitely more to come! 🤘🤘
By the way, he is not using triggers, just regular pedals made by polish company called Czarcie Kopyto (devils hoof), which are one of the best out there.
Ohhh no triggers. So sick. I’m ok with them but (don’t tell anyone) I like it better when there arnt any. ☺️☺️🤘
@@yarpyarp85 No Deez Daplu pedals like you claimed in video.
He is a percussionist.
Travis Orbin - Icarus Lives! from his Periphery Playalongs. Very technical, ambidextrous & polyrhythms. Much wow.
Oh sick ya I’ve heard of him. I’ll check him out for sure. Thanks!
Try "Kai Hahto - Winter Madness - Drumcam" for one of your reactions. He has played everything from jazz to grindcore. This song is from Wintersun and it's an oldie but the drumming is awesome. If I remember correctly the main riff is in 3/4, then 5/4 when the vocals come in and a bunch of crap like that but you won't even notice because he blasts the whole way through most of it.
Kai Hahto is a must for sure! Sons of Winter and Stars is a great one too, although a bit on the longer side as far as songs go. Winter Madness alternates throughout the song with 3/4, 5/4, 4/4 and 6/4.
Sick lord! that sound awesome I’ll check it out
You should check out elliot hoffman from car bomb. Dudes insane
I gotta everyone has been mentioning him. Thankssss!
Awesome reaction! Just watch Sebastian Lanser, he will blow your mind ;)
Cheers!
Cheers! And thanks so much!!!
Maciej Kowalski is his real name. Ex xylophonist if the rumours are true. Thanks for this one!
Oh yo that makes sense with those quick syncopations, that’s definitely a hold over from his xylophone days. That’s so interesting. Does he have a classical background??
@@yarpyarp85 That I don't know but wouldn't be surprised
@@yarpyarp85 yep, he does. Also, one time after Mgla show I asked him about this bell pattern and he said that this is total improvisation. There's no any definite bell pattern and every time he plays that moment, bell pattern is always different
ahh this guy (okay, his outfit) reminded me of the Locust, and realized that the late, great Gabe Serbian would make an awesome reaction video... if there were any clean videos of him playing. Unfortunately it's mostly live stuff and the sound is blown out to hell. Fun to watch on your own but not sure if it'd make good content lol. He had such an awesome, unique style.
I’m gonna check it out for sure thanks bro!
Another suggestion: Replacire's "The Center that Cannot Hold" off the album of the same name. unfortunately it's audio only, no drum cam footage from their guy Joey Ferretti (yet). The whole band is (or was, not sure with lineup changes) a bunch of Berklee nerds, if that tells you anything about what to expect!
Thanks that sounds like it’s right up my alley
Ufffff ❤❤❤One more
Your voice is very pleasant to listen to. Give Sepultura a try, the band always had great drummers. I'd suggest the song "Territory".
Dang that’s really nice of you. Complements go a long way lolol. I will 100% react to it. Thank u!
this is amazinggggg❤😂
U r amazing ❤❤❤
Mgla and behemoth are my favorite black metal bands from Poland. In fact they are the only 2 I know. Good thing they are incredible
Two stellar bands for sure!
Check out Batushka then as well, polish and way up there in terms of newish blackmetal.
Ok. Let me take you for a journey.

Mgla is officially two guys: M (Mikolaj Zentara) - guitars and vocals, and Darkside (Maciej Kowalski) - drums. Live lineup is, apart from the M and Darkside, NVT (Piotr Dziemski) lead guitar and The Fall (Michal Stepien) - bass and backup vocals. Now, M and Darkside are also the official lineup of Kriegsmaschine (currently only-recording band, from which Mgla started as a side-project). NVT and The Fall used to play in Medico Peste, another great Polish BM band, and now are in Owls, Woods, Graves, together with M. The Fall and Darkside have formed the Hauntologist, a post-BM band. So, just the live lineup of Mgla is actually four Polish BM bands (plus B.K. the drummer for Owls, Woods, Graves), plus Medico Peste 🙂.
@@sir_michobro, you forgot Furia
Inferno from Behemoth has a drum cam vid for their song "At the Left Hand ov God". Always felt the drum patterns in that song were filthy.
Sick dude I’m gonna check it out! Thanks!
Aric Improta - Blur Lights in the Videodrome, but it's 40 minutes long so be prepared for that one
Oh shit, I’ll watch it though! Thanks!
It took Thomas Haake 6 months to learn the song, so don't worry
Hahah ya I've heard that, hoping to get it done in about that time. So close to a christmas release.
Elliott Hoffman from Car Bomb is another good one I saw mentioned. Seen him live and he's just a machine.
I did a quick one last week on him if u wanna check it out. 😉😉
so good
Mom!! I love u thanks!
That shit is balls deep!!!🤘
Hahahah for sure
Great video. You say you can play that. Kriegsmachine - "Residual Blight" is Darksides another project. If you can play that then you are a GOAT. Kevin Paradis did a cover of this song check it out and start learning:)
Hahaha I m learning bleed right now but after that I’m gonna be taking some suggestions. 😉😉 I might have to check it out🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Yes he is THE bell guy
Excellent. I love it.
Residual blight by kriegsmachine is the song you should have looked at for DS imo. Even for mgla I would have said futility ii instead of v but to each their own.
The vocals are awesome but they are made so much better by the lyrics, the whole album is poetry.
Another one from sick drummer...not one mistake apparently.
Drummer: Frost
Band: 1349
He's relentless as well.
ruclips.net/video/N7Rkepbosc8/видео.html
Pull that out at a gig,you make any metalhead in the place smile.
Exactly, but I might get fired 😉😉
He’s definitely the bell guy. Exercises in Futility IV and VI are solid as well.
Sick thanks!!
Love these reactions! I think you'd love jazzy Joey Baca from the contortionist, he has a live playthrough of a song called Language thats super tight!🤘
Sick thank u so much I’ll check it out for sure!
Also u look so good
Haha u must love me so much. I thought the light would make me look younger, I’m not to sure 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔lol
Oh heck yeah, my favourite drum solo cam of all time!!!!
It’s pretty damn good 🤘🤘🤘
You have to check out "Residual Blight" from Kriegsmachine. It's Darkside's side project. There's a drum cover by Kevin Paradis of this song.
No the bells are only in this song.
Oh ok, well he rocks them in this tune like crazy
I highly recommend Luke Holland - Tendinitis drum playthrough
Ya dude I’ve seen it, I love Luke. Been a fan since way back🤘🤘
Hauntologist - Hollow. Darkside (Maciej Kowalski) has a new album with Michał Stępień and it rocks.
Sick gonna check it out!!
Thanks!
If you want a crazy reaction you should react to Infant Annihilator Cuntcrusher drum playthrough by Aaron Kitcher it would blow yor mind
Ok I’ve definitely heard of that and I think it’s about time I watch it. Thanks!
check out Nils Dominator Fjellström - Dark Funeral - Vobiscum Satanas drum cam :p
Ya a lot of people have suggested him, I gotta check him out for sure. Thanks!
yo, awesome work. Check the With Heart Towards None VII, where whole intro is builded by cymbals. Also the band name is like MGWUAH (the fog/mist in polish), drummer name is Maciej Kowalski. You can find two warm up videos of him which are ultra sick. Greetings.
His page:
youtube.com/@dksdmgl?si=S4ezY6r4iPJoYdeF
Excercises is a masterpiece in black metal from start to finish.
Residual Blight (Kriegsmaschine) is another one of his crazy performances.
And his new band Hauntologist is pretty sweet; song Deathdreamer is sick.
Nice! Thanks eh!
Go to it.
🤘🥁🤘🥁🤘🥁🤘🥁🤘thanks!
Needs more cowbell!
🤘always!
You should check out Mayhem My death drum cam, from 2011 i think. Drummer is hellhammer
Nice thanks dude! I’ll add him to the list!
@@yarpyarp85 the video was recently re-uploaded around 7 months ago. Really love his cymbal work.
Def look up his channel. His channel name is Dksdmgl. He has uploaded some few samples there. Also, check out Kriegsmaschine - Residual Blight (one of his other projects).
play that
Hahaha I might give it a try and post it on one of the up coming reaction videos! Thanks for watching and commenting though!
@@yarpyarp85 *-*
Watch Darkside in Hauntologist Death dreamer on his you tube channel
Sick I’ll check it out thanks!
the bell pattern is something like RLRRLRLRRLRRLRRL LRLRLRRLRRLLRLRL RLRRLRRLRRLLRLRL RRLLRLRLRLRRLRRL i'm pretty sure
Dude! Thank u that’s awesome! Annnnnd completed lol
do it! learn the pattern!
Busy learning bleeed lolol
Honestly I was super bored until the last 2 minutes. The end made up for the whole thing lol. I was thinking why do people want to see this. The end was pretty dope. Not nearly as dope as And Plague Flowers the Kaleidoscope by Ne Obliviscaris. You gotta watch the offical Dan Presland studio playthrough tho. That whole thing is epic. Also bleed is coming along nicely 4 hour shed hats off to you. 🤘🏽
That would be a great song to learn but you need 2 hi-hats you'll see why lol
Thanks bro ya I’m doing my best with the time I have free, been gigging a lot. I’ll check that out for sure!
I was really disappointed when I found out this band are actual nazis. They play as live mucisians for Finnish neo-nazi Mikko Aspa's one-man band Clandestine Blaze.
Is this real?
If that’s a real thing I don’t support that at all. Bummed I reacted to them now
It's not really something they parade about so to speak and this band's music specifically is not explicitly political but yes, they absolutely have those nasty ties. They seem to have managed to hide it fairly well even from many of their own fans.
At the end of the day it's everyone's own decision whether to separate the art from the artist but I personally draw the line at active contributions to the nazi movement.
No, they are not nazis. True, they did play in Clandestine Blaze a while ago, but that does not mean they share or have shared his ideology. Mikko Aspa is also a vocalist for Deathspell Omega but the other guys in that band said they do not share his views but they do separate the art (music) from the artist.
Sure nazis... Poland is known for their nazis... Wait what? :) ridiculous comment.
You're just bashing the band.. if you don't like it.. don't view it.. are maybe you can't play like him..
Nonono dude u got me all wrong. I love it, I like legit love almost everything I hear so I’m not the best judge lolol but what did I even say?
Maybe I was saying I didn’t like the vocals? Just not my favourite, but they could grow on me. 😉😉
