@@malakai.2025 He has indeed gotten tighter. The fact that he uses triggers doesnt make it so he hasnt progressed. Im pretty sure he has gotten much tighter i mean its almost 15 years later.
You know, more often than not, the blasting type drummers lack all feel, but somehow Samus here really retains a lot of emotion and feel in his playing. It's a very welcome sight, and I really envy him for his speed and technique. Very admirable.
@@balzach7734 No, I found my own style. 9 years later and I realize that this type of music doesn’t always give me the peace I’m searching for. I connected so well with it at the time because I used to use the music to justify my thinking/actions, when in reality I should’ve just addressed my issues. I say all of this to say, I was super insecure back then because I was trying to be who my family/parents wanted to be instead of just being myself. Now I’m at peace and slowly reconnecting with my true identity. So just to reiterate, I do still think he’s a highly skilled musician and I respect his hard work and dedication, but I don’t want to be like him because I would be doing a disservice to myself. Hope this answers your question, stay blessed. 😂
I got to this from your reaction video; all the "cocky attitude" aside, I looked to this video A LOT ten years ago. Thank you for being an inspiration on top of your humor and everything!
2006 - nope 2007 - nuh uh 2008 - hell no 2009 - negative 2010 - not gonna happen 2011 - still not, bro 2012 - definitely not 2013 - you already know it 2014 - not there yet 2015 - starting to approach 2016 - maybe soon 2017 - getting there 2018 - super damn close 2019 - just hairs away... 2020 - heyyy... why don't we put this on this guys recommended after 13 years🤷♂️
Let's see, in 2007-ish, I was living in Poland (I'm not Polish) and was working on my first home recording studio. Fun how this video makes me look back.
that was pretty fuckin awesome man. i love the sound of your kit man, you can hear each individual stroke on the snare but also the toms as well instead of it all just blurring into a chaotic rumble
@55kolby55 trust us he didn't tamper we have 3 camera angles live on him from Summer Slaughter 2010 and he is this fast or faster and even better now that he's a little more seasoned
I love this guy :D never heard blast beats clearly groove so well, you can feel the larger scale tempo under it which is damn unusual. Too bad he's gotta pwn himself with drink, but that's not unusual at all, hope he survives a long time :)
it was about a year ago when i first saw this video and this is what made me take drumming seriously. i don't know why i haven't marked this as a favourite yet! to me, this video is a classic.
I didn't know about this video, at last i can see your real drumming not the triggering crap actually u have. Excelent power, great technique, amazing blasting stamina and killer double bass. All my respect man.
🙄 what are you blind? Even though he uses triggers he obviously has power behind his strokes, look at the massive ass stick height he gets in his blasts. Especially his Boneyards cover, those sticks are almost at a 90° angle lol
@66Samus Saw decrepit birth at summer slaughter in San Diego, flew all the way from Ireland to see you guys. Samus, all I can see is you were phenomenal, easily the tightest drummer of the night, and thats saying something! Awesome work Samus, I look up to you, and hope that someday I can play on a similar level to you. Thank you.
@BluntAnim not sure about that. If you watch the video you can see att diffrent times that he is moving to fast and the symbals at some times stops moving to quickly after he has hit them.
You just broke my ears god damn it! For sure one of the fastest drummers ever! I guess drumming machines have something to look forward to being someday. ;)
I bought your drumsticks from the Decrepit Birth merch stand on the Summer Slaughter tour and gave em to my bro Ben who couldn't make and he says they're the best sticks he's ever played with...keep up the metal my brotha
@KaNepoo0041 Sure he does. Look just below the crash on the bottom right side of the screen. There's an x hat there, and there's one on the left side as well, you just can't see it because of how he's sitting.
Just like it is not solely chops, or knowledge of music theory alone, or just good timing that determines if a drummer is good. It is everything all around, speed, timing, chops, musical knowledge, and also endurance.

I remember watching this around the time I started playing drums - I was totally blown away! Now over 10 years later it is still very impressive!
Look it's Wanja! :D
Wanja [Nechtan] Gröger you're awesome too
Mr Nechtan now I'm learning from you!!! You are excelent also!
Wanja [Nechtan] Gröger wow hey Wanja hahaha that's so cool I never new that
i love you, you are totally kickass
"Hey bro, if you wouldn't mind..... turn that light off when you drum. It's 2 in the morning, people are trying to sleep!"
lol wtf
"So anyways, I started blasting
You’re worried about the light!?
Actually crazy he did this in the dark💀💀💀💀💀💀
dude i cant do that sober
That's the point. N O J U N K, N O SO U L
that rock? lets hear what metal is!
Metal would be scissors
It'd probably just be grindcore
I've been playing for just 11 years now and I remember seeing this as a total beginner! This really takes me back man, hope all is well.
glad to see you without the trigger sam. this video is old, but i think its kinda gold
Better than anything recent
sphinct Tear harsh
sphinct Tear he has gotten way tighter and toms got cleaner
Also, those blasts have tightened up A LOT since those decrepit birth shows
@@morizkaufmann2875 he hasn't gotten tighter he just uses triggers now
@@malakai.2025 He has indeed gotten tighter. The fact that he uses triggers doesnt make it so he hasnt progressed. Im pretty sure he has gotten much tighter i mean its almost 15 years later.

I'm sorry it is crazy to me seeing a comment from so long ago lol it's like looking into the past lol I have to comment
even when drunk , he's still a million times the drummer i could ever be ._.

@@spidermanjtc12 nah
Hell yeah
Dude... drunk? You're amazing
6 years ago
He wasn't drunk
"Metal is just noise" my ass!
Devaughn Davis well it is. any kind of music is just a bunch of sounds and sound is just shit vibrating. This video is just a bunch of vibrations. lol
We'd be good friends in real life
Experimental electronica is just noise
2006 - nope
2007 - nuh uh
2008 - hell no
2009 - negative
2010 - not gonna happen
2011 - still not, bro
2012 - definitely not
2013 - you already know it
2014 - not there yet
2015 - starting to approach
2016 - maybe soon
2017 - getting there
2018 - super damn close
2019 - just hairs away...
2020 - heyyy... why don't we put this on this guys recommended after 13 years🤷♂️
I like how precise the wear mark on his snare is
What time of day is this? I bet your neighbours like you
stfu you sound like my neighbors
lol I'd love to have this guy as a neighbor
I just pretend they'd be just as mad if it was smooth jazz, and that kind of makes me feel better.
I watch this video at least 30 times a day, and still I cannot keep up. you are a great inspiration to me
you're slowly becoming one of my favourite drummers
he should rerecord this
50th like , he should do it at 100
He didc
Wow, didn't know Frank Bello played the drums so well...
I love you for that comment XD
Who else came here right after he reacted to this?
when there are so many notes that it sounds like one......
Let's see, in 2007-ish, I was living in Poland (I'm not Polish) and was working on my first home recording studio. Fun how this video makes me look back.
k when he said "this is called rock" i almost turned it off but man that drum start was insane lol kept me watching
Why
11 years ago lol
@@Johann64 Probably cause I was a cringy edgelord back then. I dont even remember this video. 11 years, damn 🤣
@@SquidTurkey bruuh looollll
nice job doin these blast beats. Death for life
I was 3 when this came out
I was 1
I was like 6 months old
i wasn’t a sperm when this came out
😂😂i was 2
David Garza same
that was pretty fuckin awesome man. i love the sound of your kit man, you can hear each individual stroke on the snare but also the toms as well instead of it all just blurring into a chaotic rumble
I'd love to see an updated version of this
Holy shit dude you’ve been a beast at drums for longer than I’ve even been playing haha fuuuuuuck
@55kolby55 trust us he didn't tamper we have 3 camera angles live on him from Summer Slaughter 2010 and he is this fast or faster and even better now that he's a little more seasoned
Took RUclips 13 years to put this in the recommendations
Holy shit. I didn't even realize how old this was.
The blast beat and the rolls are awesome!
Keep up the good work man :)!
Damn man, this video was most for sure one of the first one about drumming
I've watch it like six times in a row...and I still love it :D
I start to air drum when I see this :))
Good job bro! Love it!
"The actor in this video is a highly trained professional" Hahaha good one.
Maybe the best drum solo i've ever seen. Nice work dude
This was half your life ago man. Back when you were 33samus.
Time flies
half your life like half life
15 years ago.... wow I remember watching this in high school
1:29 LMFAO
Ive played the drums for over 30 years now. You got some sick fills. And very quick feet.
@Takun36 I quit Abigail over a year ago now bro
The dislikes are just to indicate how many beer cans he drank
Here we see david lombardo's secret long never seen son.
I was born 15 days after this came out
Lol I remember this. Not many drummers/musicians back then.
Who else remembers that Office Death Metal video? (something like that)
It was an e-kit suffocation drum cover
I remember watching this when I just graduated from hs and was like damn. Still kills ass brother
I love this guy :D never heard blast beats clearly groove so well, you can feel the larger scale tempo under it which is damn unusual.
Too bad he's gotta pwn himself with drink, but that's not unusual at all, hope he survives a long time :)
The first Samus video I ever saw. Much love
The fill at 1:02 is just mind boggling.
Here's the fill 1:02
it was about a year ago when i first saw this video and this is what made me take drumming seriously. i don't know why i haven't marked this as a favourite yet!
to me, this video is a classic.
0:14 this is called rock 😂

You clearly dont know how drum triggers work gtfo
lmao, i love that u play all this awesome stuff, and u still give these faces that are hilarious
XD
oh shit, I wish I was your neighboor

Thank you.
He still looks young
Awesome video mate. The whole of Abigail Williams just oozes talent from every pore.
Beast Mode
the way he moves his head is very natural throughout the whole video, making it clearly not edited
is it just me or does the first minutes sounds very similar to hellhammers drumming in the grand declaration of war album?
Finally a video without triggers😍
Damn, just appeared on recommended
@BluntAnim not sure about that. If you watch the video you can see att diffrent times that he is moving to fast and the symbals at some times stops moving to quickly after he has hit them.
Un glande.
You just broke my ears god damn it!
For sure one of the fastest drummers ever!
I guess drumming machines have something to look forward to being someday. ;)
2018
2019
I just now, after 8 years, realized this dude is covering the insane metal drumming from the superior drummer sound pack
7 years later and I just now realized I based a FUCKton of my style based off of this video.
''dragonforce!??'' hahahaha
A legend says it will repeats at 500K subs, maybe I'm wrong...
Congrats
I couldnt dream of doing any of this sober
2020 and this video is still amazing
I prefer my metal drumming with feeling over speed. Erra is the perfect example.
i Love Erra Drift was my shit
allseeingowl 1220 Drift is the new stuff man. Go back to their Augment or Impulse album for the original Erra magic ;)
I have their full discog including Adromeda in physical format Justin Erra
allseeingowl 1220 Ok you win :D
Justin Erra yeah huge erra fan
I remember watching this video back in '09. You'd think by now there'd be a million views.
13 years later...
WHAT!?!?! hahaha this is some pretty brutal drumming man, rock on.
The video that first got me into Samus. Jeez. Time to watch to the Abigail Williams video too. Memory lane, here I come
Great drumming very fast and technical I love it keep up the great work 🤘🏻
He recorded with devin townsend
Broooo those rolls are insane!!!
I can honestly say this is the craziest performance I recall seeing. It makes me think of what a war zone might sound like.
I bought your drumsticks from the Decrepit Birth merch stand on the Summer Slaughter tour and gave em to my bro Ben who couldn't make and he says they're the best sticks he's ever played with...keep up the metal my brotha
Looking back over a decade later...... I wonder if Samus knew what just constant blast beats were
you can tell how precise he is when theres a small worn out hole on the snare head
I can’t believe that’s you drunk it’s still insanely good
I don't understand why so many ppl give this vid crap.......... I was soooo blown away when I saw this!!!!!!!!
you are the reason why i start drumming!
awsome when are you coming 2 Los angeles with the lessons? let me know Keep up the Killer work ..
Lol I like that little triplet pattern with the high-hat and the snare hits.
That was extremely awesome! Not sloppy at all. I'd love to hear you play sober.
lmfao. omg my face melted watching that. that was beastly as hell.
You truly are your biggest fan.
@bookmaerks I'm gonna start teaching lessons on tour!
Still impressive to this day. Samus is the best drummer on RUclips.
@KaNepoo0041 Sure he does. Look just below the crash on the bottom right side of the screen. There's an x hat there, and there's one on the left side as well, you just can't see it because of how he's sitting.
