I have been listening to him for almost 10 years, sometimes without even knowing it was him - SYL - Deathklok - Death - Dark Angel- I think what sticks out to me about his style are his unique foot patterns and snare fills - listen to skeksis - ua-cam.com/video/-eaIvh6ELVg/v-deo.html - and then listen to some dark angel- you'll see the foot patterns he chooses are very Hoglan
Raymond Herrera of Fear Factory would have his shirt off, sweating his ass off doing FF beats (which he came up with!) When we saw them play with Big Gene the first time, I was blown away by how calm he was. If he'd had two other hands, he could've been knitting a sweater or something lol
He moves like that because even though it's tech death, he's making it GROOVE. That's what makes separates a great metal player from the very top guys.
@@boreal8631 I mean Pete “the feet” Sandoval is also amazing an essentially pioneered extreme metal drumming. Gene is more technical but Pete is an absolute monster and no slouch… and we love them both!!!
It's actually helping, I tried this back in my double bass drum days, it adds power to the strokes and actually balance your feet, they do not fly all over the place if that makes sense. Not for everyone though 😂
1:25 its dope to see how a musician of his caliber recovers from a mistake. Immediately picks up the beat and substitutes the part for something that will get him back on time
He still made some mistakes there tho, i think maybe Die hard Death or Hogan fans think he could've done better. It's probably been a while since he had to play Crystal Mountain anyway but hey it's not a competition or anything. He's at his peak and will probably remain there until he's 80 hahaha
@el Guapo If you look closely he does have some issues but as i said before, it's probably been a while. I play my own music somewhat different live every time so i totally get your point.
1:35 double Ride technique had been used way long before The Rev. Without disrespect to The Rev idk why people told the double ride is The Rev signature technique.
My guess is that it comes from "The making of Almost Easy" or whatever it's called where he says something like "I threw in a little double ride thing" and people somehow mistook it for being a special technique of some kind.
I don't know who the mentioned guy (Rev) is but the double ride has been widely used by a lot of drummers since 80's like the late Sean Reinert, Deen Castronovo and Gene.
Tem um jeito peculiar de tocar, é canhoto, daí inverte as mãos da caixa e chimbal, porém usa como pé principal o direito e a ordem normal dos tons da esquerda pra direita, muito estranho pois inverte algumas coisas e outras não. Se alguém que já toca bateria usar uma disposição de peças assim sem ter aprendido dessa forma vai se atrapalhar todo. Ele provavelmente aprendeu na bateria de alguém destro e não podia ficar desmontando a bateria pra inverter tudo e usava o pé direito por ter começado com pedal simples. Deve ter sido mais difícil de aprender tendo que usar pé direito no bumbo e mão direita na caixa.
Gene is world class. This vid is not a good representation of his precision though. Keep in mind he recorded his drum parts for this song 25 years ago with a band that disbanded 22 years ago. Gene likely noodled his way through this entire vid being that he has no reason to spend time perfecting it.
I noticed that too and thought am I the only one since everyone else seemed hyped about this... I know Gene is a great drummer and I own many of his cd's (Dark Angel etc.), but this performance sounded rather sloppy indeed.
![Death - "Crystal Mountain" - Live in Eindhoven '98 - [03-11][HD]](/img/n.gif)
Is it just me or is the use of Gene's double rides on each side a very crucial part of what makes his sound so unique?
Amazing video!!

Yes it's absolutely 'just you' 🙄
Love how he waves his head like he's listening to the Beach Boys or something

MAYBE he is....lol
Okay so my curiosity got the best of my and I put this video against "I Get Around" and it actually tracks lol! 🤣
My band mates wanted me to play this. I quit the band.
Ha, I made my drummer learn this, and it really transformed his playing. You should've accepted the challenge
@@silverfoot6079 it was a joke. I did practice it though. But we ended doing another song instead.
You play in a good band. Dont quit
You should try Overactive Imagination
@@arvindshastry1178 or sons of northern darkness
Thank you for reuploading this, it's so satisfying to watch him play. He looks so relaxed lol
I really appreciate how he has no triggers or anything; just that natural acoustic sound.
His kickdrums are obviously triggered
He is killing the speed of the double bass while wearing heavy firefighter boots! I know he likes to practice with ankle weights but holy cow.
So does Pete Sandoval and he plays twice as fast.
@@AronBouwhuis just because he plays twice as fast doesnt mean he's better LMAOOOOOO
@@boreal8631 I mean Pete “the feet” Sandoval is also amazing an essentially pioneered extreme metal drumming. Gene is more technical but Pete is an absolute monster and no slouch… and we love them both!!!
in today's world that is super slow.

The Best drummer on the planet
Damn, the whole guitar set is playing in my head while Gene drums this song!😂 Awesome👏✊👍

ua-cam.com/video/3x7uvGofGbs/v-deo.html he missed this one too earlier
those toms sound soooooooo good
And he doesn't tune them !! He does them up finger tight and thats it...!!!
@@DavidOakesMusic damn! For real?!
Forever great full for this. Rip chuck
Finally a vid of him playing one of my favorite Death songs!! 🤘🤘
That album is top 10 best metal album of all time
His groove is very weird. Awesome!
BEAST OF DRUMMER !!!!!
Such an amazing drummer!
Amazing coverage here!!!!
Crystal Mountain?! Click
Gene Hoglan making it look so easy.
Thank you Gene...
He’s amazing
Most underrated legendary drummer. He is the Steve Morse of drums!
He is no way underrated in the metal scene
Wdym underrated?? Everybody in the metal scene knows this man is a walking legend
Don't use the word "underrated" without knowing what it means...
ua-cam.com/video/YnbFzSsaYO8/v-deo.html
I agree he is underrated outside of metalheads. Casual metalheads today don't even listen to Death
buen trabajo colega, un cordial saludo desde Barcelona
Awesome!
its so impressive on its own
Muy bueno así se puede apreciar mucho mejor la calidad y el talento de este magnífico músico
Fucking Gene Hoglan is way too badass
Amazing!
The two persons that disliked this video think they can do it better.
You’re watching the best drummer alive.
He still made some mistakes there tho, i think maybe Die hard Death or Hogan fans think he could've done better.
It's probably been a while since he had to play Crystal Mountain anyway but hey it's not a competition or anything. He's at his peak and will probably remain there until he's 80 hahaha
@el Guapo If you look closely he does have some issues but as i said before, it's probably been a while. I play my own music somewhat different live every time so i totally get your point.
It's not that they think they can do better. They're just jealous they will never be able to play like this
@@andyk2607 That's exactly what i think every time i see one of those comments haha
@el Guapo With issues i only point out the minor flaws in one's playthrough. I'd also bet it's due to not playing a familiar kit.
l love it
¡¡¡Maestro!!!
Thanks!
Thanks for the re-upload!

Definitely steal that beat from him for grooves and fills haha. But I gotta do it with the high hat and ride cause I don’t have 2 rides haha
amazing
Love them boots!
1:26 what are you doing, hahahaah
LOL fr
amazing🤘🤘🤘🤘
Legend !
That's crazy
The best \m/
Apparently gene is also 6'8 or 7 ft which is badass but he is a badass already. Him being a tall dude just makes him cooler.
That must be why he towers everyone in interviews I see of him
Excelente músico .. que creatividad no les parece.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOW
that album was one of the best
00:19
Dethklok!
Jesus, he uses his right foot only for those triplets. Amazing.
Is there a full video?
Mah boy the atomic clock rocking boots and still sounding like an automatic rifle firing about 500 rounds per minute
Time to let everyone know who u r on Facebook, my account is nothing but band's , and you're bad ass
You know you're a monster drummer when Richard Christy can't play your stuff as well as you can.
Chuck, Andy, Gene waf lineup
Awesome great music song rock. Playing drummer 👍🔥🔥
Thank you........but where the heck is the song? 😞
@TREVOR PETERSON I know.......but where's the audio track? Damn Copyright hounds!
🤘😡🤘
No hubó nunca mejor conjugación de metál que este pirobo y chuck schuldiner!! Ni la habrá
These boots
Double bass drumming while using site rigger boots 🥾
На самом интересном видео закончилось)
Gene Fing sick drummer
Let us thank Richard Christy for putting this guy in his place@jenny craig
Tem um jeito peculiar de tocar, é canhoto, daí inverte as mãos da caixa e chimbal, porém usa como pé principal o direito e a ordem normal dos tons da esquerda pra direita, muito estranho pois inverte algumas coisas e outras não. Se alguém que já toca bateria usar uma disposição de peças assim sem ter aprendido dessa forma vai se atrapalhar todo. Ele provavelmente aprendeu na bateria de alguém destro e não podia ficar desmontando a bateria pra inverter tudo e usava o pé direito por ter começado com pedal simples. Deve ter sido mais difícil de aprender tendo que usar pé direito no bumbo e mão direita na caixa.
This might seem a little off-placed... but this drumming sounds to me like fusion rock played heavier.
They needed better mics
So demoralizing to see someone play at this level while wearing boots 😂😂😂 (not really, it’s inspirational, but damn… god among men he is)
Any other drummer playing with long boots like him?
Pete Sandoval
@@marekkowalowski2442 oh. Got it.
Inferno, Hellhammer (not pretty like him but also fuckin big shoes)
Pickles!
es crystal mountain....
Am I tripping or are parts of this really sloppy? Not hating just always heard people say he’s very precise but didn’t get that from watching this.
Gene is world class. This vid is not a good representation of his precision though. Keep in mind he recorded his drum parts for this song 25 years ago with a band that disbanded 22 years ago. Gene likely noodled his way through this entire vid being that he has no reason to spend time perfecting it.
@@michaelrosales5891 Agreed. In his DVDs he slips a few times during teaching Overactive Imagination too, no big deal.
I noticed that too and thought am I the only one since everyone else seemed hyped about this... I know Gene is a great drummer and I own many of his cd's (Dark Angel etc.), but this performance sounded rather sloppy indeed.
Gryro drums, Ania music
Ohio skibidi toilet sigma move
One other one like to use trimmer for the best sound....poor
No blast beats. That's one of the reasons why I love Death. Blast beats cheapen the music and are really boring
Imagine Lars trying this...yeah epic fail
1989 he probably could
No way
@@jlf6458 fuck off!! 😂
@@jlf6458 He was better back then, but still far from Gene's level
@@jlf6458 ur trolling
Thsts not enjoyable
He passed away 😢 I'm sorry but I will try to make him known
Fake my friend, there are no announcements regarding this
@@MacabrePST hopefully
he's alive what a fuck mate?!?!? don't you dare say that again
RIP Sean Reinert...
