There is something so special about the period of albums Blackwater Park to Watershed, their balance of darkness of light, and the riffs are so fucking good and just keep coming. Great play-through dude, your production makes this song fresh once again!
Thanks! Yeah I feel the same way about the albums. The songwriting on those records is so good and creative - I guess those records will sound fresh 50 years from now :)
Yeah.. I don’t know why it took me so long actually :) I heard through their albums again when damnation turned 20 - just jaw dropping stuff. Hope you’re doing great 🤟🏻
Awesome performance man! You have a very relaxed playing style, impressive when you're actually playing some tricky stuff. Even your fast double bass seems nice and relaxed with that swivel technique. I remember seeing a clip of Lopez playing a part of this song where he's doing some crazy patterns with the cymbals. What fill are you doing at 05:08 btw? It's a really cool little fill! That 3 up/2 down drum setup is perfect for Opeth music. When I find my own studio space for an acoustic kit (that really is the dream!) that would definitely be the kit setup I'd go for. Having that really high tom gives you that more exotic Latin percussion sound to add in :-) The Star Walnut is one of my dream kits too, such a punchy sounding wood. I have the Star Zebrawood snare but that's the only acoustic drum I have...nowhere to keep or play my own acoustic kit at the moment. One Opeth song I'd love to see covered on drums is Serenity Painted Death. Quite a long song like Ghost of Perdition and also has a mix of fast double bass runs, the Lopez signature 6/8 feel and more. Will try covering it myself sometime but it would need a hell of a lot of practice...I find it quite hard to remember songs that long as I get focussed on trying to remember every tiny little detail.
Yes Baby! Die neuen Felle klingen mega knackig und klar und der Mix ist einer von Martins besten bisher finde ich ! Zu deinem Spiel muss ich nichts sagen, du weißt, dass ich es liebe😍
Overall great jon and a good video. Too give you a bit of constructive criticism, your left foot is noticeable lower in volume than your right when playing double bass. Keep on the good work and keep progressing
Yes, that's true! :) The Star Reserve #6 is my favorite snare for 4 years now.. It sounds great in any tuning and is super reliable on stage and in studio sessions. Cheers!
That snare drum sounds sooo good
Thanks a lot!!

Adding your own style in there was very tastefully done my dude ! One of my favorite songs ever created by one of the best bands ever
Thanks a lot! I´m glad that you like it. And yeah - Opeth are legends!
The sounds 🔥🔥🔥
Yesssss! I’ve been waiting for an Opeth cover from you for so long 🔥🔥🔥
Yeah.. I don’t know why it took me so long actually :) I heard through their albums again when damnation turned 20 - just jaw dropping stuff.
Hope you’re doing great 🤟🏻
You have some of the best drumming content out there man, love the open handed playing. The sound is perfect!
Thanks a lot! Cool that you recognized the open handed playing! Cheers!
Utterly phenomenal cover! And I love the stylistic embellishments….the whole thing felt both true to the original and a bit more modern…well done!
