Waltteri Väyrynen: Opeth - The Lotus Eater (drum cam, live in Plovdiv, Bulgaria - September 2022)

Finally got around to dig some of my GoPro archives from last year and upload my first Opeth drum cam on RUclips! This one's from Plovdiv, Bulgaria where we played at the spectacular Ancient Roman Amphitheater. The audio is straight from the camera so not ideal but hopefully not too bad especially with headphones. I'll try to upload more of this stuff in the near future. Cheers!
I proudly use and endorse: Pearl drums, Sabian cymbals, Evans Drumheads and Wincent drumsticks.

Zo blij dat ik Opeth ken. Zo blij dat de Walt Opeth versterkt. Dit klinkt fantastisch. Kan niet wachten op de release van het nieuwe album.

[@fcamiola]

Waltteri - Welcome to the Opeth family. Your playing is stunning. You have impeccable feel, time, and technique. More of this drum cam stuff please! Can't wait to see you on tour and hear you on a new Opeth vinyl LP!

Hats off to Waltteri! You really lived up to Axe's standards and we're all looking or, shall I say, hearing forward to your input into Opeth's new discography

Waltteri, Hats off to you for stepping in & learning all these intense songs Mike writes & you've done a great job doing this & filling the shoes of AX & Martin , those were big shoes to fill & you now wear them well. Enjoy the fun as we do in hearing this band continue to amaze us.

Lo que me gusta de walteri más que de Martín López y Axenrott es que toca las canciones muy parecidas a su versión del album, como fan se agradece ❤

[@rexatkins9264]

Full beast mode(.) And, OPETH is in great hands (and feet) going forward with this level of playing! I can hardly wait to see & hear you on the next new episode! 🤘🏼

[@mihaapala]

onko stressitaso ennen Opethin keikkaa kovempi kuin ennen Paradise Lostin keikkaa? Onhan tuo melko jäätävää tykitystä

[@artoys2469]

They didn't send you the memo about the leather jacket huh? Mean! Awesome performance, what a beast lml
