What an eargasm to hear some dynamics and REAL drumming in extreme metal instead of the fake trigger monotonous bullshit mayhem that have become the standard. Thanks Sean for bringing the groove to the metal.
I completely agree except triggers are awesome because you can have your recordings sound good without having to have a 30 million$ kit. As long the person can actually play then fuck yeah
Absolutely insane. He was on a whole other level. Damn. Sucks that he is gone. He didn't 'get the credit and recognition that he deserved. Those who knew, knew...and musicians around the world knew how special he was. But the average listener/civilian had no idea how good and special this cat was. He is missed.
@@mrjehupitchfork never said he did. Aortic heart explosion. Someone else on comments said they were sad. I suggested talking to someone. Probably could have contextualized that better. Have a good day.
I saw Cynic on the Focus tour with Sinister on there Diabolical Summoning tour and Cannibal on The Bleeding tour. Good times!! What Sean did on Death Human was and still is amazing.
Heart broken to here the news! Met Sean a few times and he was the greatest drummer to ever play! Top 5 in all styles and one of the main reasons I drummed and to this day still blows my mind how one human can pull this off in the studio then play it perfect live. RIP!!
one of the best songs ever written and paired perfectly with such a talented percussionist. this song and cynic's focus changed my life and the way i play
He was one of the reasons for me starting to play drums, just wanted to play like him on the death human tour. I failed him miserably ... but i don´t care still love about everything he did. from death to aeon spoke .... i´m really mouring.
I'm still going back and watching this video 4 years after first seeing it. Still one of my favorite Cynic songs with some absolutely incredible patterns, and Sean nails every single note on a dime in one take. So glad this stuff exists
Sean Reinert, what a class act.. Such sophistication in his choices, my God. Such drummers are rare to come by.. Thank you for your music Sean, you are an inspiration.
A musical legend who inspired and entertained me greatly...my condolences go out to his husband, Thomas, and family. R.I.P., my brother...may flights of angels wing you to your rest \m/
Excellent. Especially considering your age at the time of the recording. Several rhythms and fills on this track remind me of what you played on Death's "Lack of Comprehension". You remain to be one of my favourite drummers even after 25 yrs from the first time I heard your playing. Thanks for the inspiration!
Beginning of the '90s... I'll never forget the moment when I bought a Leprosy picture disc in a local record store. 🤗 Fast forward to now, I was fortunate to see Sean live with the DTA project a few years back. I swear, when I saw him setting up for the beginning of the show I felt like a teenager seeing his idol for the first time. 😄 Anyhow, his playing that night was impeccable. It's interesting, my fav Death drummers have always been Sean and Gene, although they are very different players. They both have an individual style and approach, and both fit Chuck's music perfectly.
Sasa Petkovic I only became a Death fan once Human was released as it was on a whole new level. With Sean and Paul added from cynic their playing abilities made Death a powerful force. Once they lost Sean I think they lost a huge part of their sound and balance as a band. Always thought Sean is/was a way better player and written then Gene. As Gene is held in such praise I don't think he comes close to Sean.
You know what they say: can't argue taste - in politics and music especially. :) To me, both are extremely proficient technically, but with a different approach to music and what they add to it. From the drumming perspective, IMHO of course, Human is more emotional, while ITP and Symbolic are more aggresive. Gene is an excellent player too, make no mistake. You know Chuck only picked the finest musicians available in that genre at the time.
Sasa Petkovic Gene doesn’t come close to how good sean is. Its why Human was so damn good. The drums were just as musical as every other instrument and thats sean’s approach. Genes being technical for the sake of being technical and being as fast he could be.
@@dmusiclife5727 That's one of my favorites from that band. He's like a heavy metal Ginger Baker on that album. Listened to Death back in the day but hadn't in awhile so I've been going through all those old CDs. Amazing
he made those cobalt blue Yamaha drum so much better than I could at 20 and actually still. I am still practicing drum brother thank you for your mastery. Because you were force my god!Side note I remember those brown headphones you were wearing. Every studio I went to had them why? Hehe
I didn't know this guy until the news of his passing. I'm totally mind blown to see his videos!! How come he was not more known in the drumming community?! R.I.P.
@@doubledragtap "Individual Thought Patterns" and "Symbolic" are also classics, with Gene Hoglan on drums. Out of all the metal bands I listened to in high school, Death is one of the few who still really do it for me. They're just at a different level for me. Glad to hear you are discovering them now!
I've been listening to Cynic for decades and I never came across this track for some reason... wow this demo fuckin rips and this is might be my new favorite Cynic track. Tony's bass is insane -- everyone kills it on this track. Thanks for uploading this bit of history! :)
Miss that era . . .Back when drummers had to . . .perform in the studio, and live. Before Pro Fools, and way before drum trigggerrrrs. Awesome Sean! Still the best. !
Rest in peace you fucking god. My playing style has slowly morphed into yours over the years. Suicide Machine was, is and will forever be my gold standard of progressive drumming in death metal.
Absolute LEGEND R.I.P Sean. Single handily changed metal drumming forever. Cant be overstated the effect he had on every up and coming drummer at that time. Everyone wanted to the do the Lombardo double bass and fast fills which are class. Dave changed the genre himself but when Human came out everyone was like wtf!!??Most of us didn’t know it was possible to add those grooves and pattern’s to that kind of music. His influence will never be forgotten. Im a nobody but he made me a better drummer and changed my whole outlook on what was possible. Being a kid from a nowhere ass town in the back end of Ireland and hearing this just blew my mind.?Thank you Sean, Chuck R.I.P, Paul and Steve and I have to mention Malone as well R.I.P. Although not a part of Death he no doubt had an influence on Sean’s playing. Thank you for the music guys 🤘🤘🤘✌️✌️✌️
I was looking for someone to post the same thing haha! This one was my favorite for sure. This was around the same time masvidal and reinhert worked with schuldner on the death human album.
Death metal with fusion chops! All new tech death metal drummers so plastic to that, so boring extreme metal with no fusion chops. SHOW MORE OF THESE VIDS!
The problem with today's death metal is every band sounds like every other band. They all do the 300+ bpm double bass drum with 300+bpm blast beats and that's fine for a song or 2 but its every song and every band doing this so its like listening to the same song over and over and it gets so boring after awhile. Bands in their quest for speed have forgotten about the music and writing a good song. The 80s and 90s thrash metal and death metal was so much better than todays metal.
@@demonocusmetalocus3558 don't forget that they all use the same guitars, the same presets for their sounds, the same drum libraries, the same mixing techniques and the same plugins
Sean is a beast.. especially back in 89-90.. and still to this day Killin shit.. in my opinion he paved the way for technical death Metal drumming.. the double hats and ride while doing dbls.. he created that shit.. the death human album is hands down one of the best metal masterpieces ever recorded and he has alot to do with it, period.. then came Gene fuckin hoglan! Another metal drumming genius.. killer video man , thanks for sharing.. cheers.. Rip Chuck schuldiner..
after you watch Sean play there is no drummers you can take seriously. Even the greatest drummer anybody can name is still miles behind Sean, thats how good he is.
When Cynic was technical death metal: how awesome is that? This is so ahead of it`s time. It`s a pitty to see that after 25 years no band came close to the sound of "Focus".....Beneath the remains came close to reign in blood but Focus? I still have to see it....
Like who? I already know Alarum, Exivious and the other tech death bands like Beyond Creation, Obscura, Virvum, Fallujah....Still NONE of them came close imo to "Focus", where the combination of DM, jazz, fusion and prog came as natural. I'm really interested to hear the bands you say that expanded on that style...
PropheciesForetold cynic has a very unique style and there will never be an exact replica. but I think its fair to say that the bands you mentioned are similar and expanded on that style. exivious probably being the best... their demo literally sounds just like focus.
🤘 Legendary, RIP SR. Neil Peart Reed Mullin and Sean Reinhart..... three big f****** Heroes of mine. I can't believe they're gone. Heartbreaking I got to see. Corrosion Conformity/ Rollins band in 1991. I was in ninth grade.. Sim Cain and Reed Mullin in the freakin house, Holy s***, they were both on fire that night. One of the greatest shows I've ever been to. Blue me oway.. And this was during to incredible albums/ blind and end the silence. Rollins band was the headliners. Corrosion of Conformity did half the tour with Rollins band and Tool did the other half. Didn't get to see tool but at the time Corrosion Conformity was my favorite band. Especially after the blind album came out.. another drummer treat was seeing rush and Primus, At the U N O Lakefront Arena in early 1993. Tim Alexander and Neil Peart in the same building.....what! Out of this world. Www we can't lose any more drummers. The s*** always happens in threes. No more, I can't take this. I feel like I ve been kicked in the gut by a horse. Mullin/peart/Reinhart...much respect🤘

did he pass away?
@@anemonaloco Yeah...he passed away..just 3 days ago..
@@bensroom oh man, he was my fav drummer. so sad to know that.
SHIT! He was a force.
Just discovered him. What a loss. I’ve been digging everything he’s done and said. It’s time to get his records.
fucking 1989. nobody was playing like this in 89....this dude was way more influential on metal drummers than anyone talks about
R.I.P. my brother, love n miss you.
Blows my mind he wasn't even 20 here, breaks my heart he didn't even reach 50 :'( Much love & respect Master Reinert \m/
What an eargasm to hear some dynamics and REAL drumming in extreme metal instead of the fake trigger monotonous bullshit mayhem that have become the standard. Thanks Sean for bringing the groove to the metal.
Even on the 2014 Cynic album...the drum sound was natural. No triggers.
Hey man, first of all, you are 100% correct sir. Second, your cover of Candiria's" Constant Velocity.. " is sublime!!
@@dconvergadon5281 Thanks buddy! Candiria and Cynic have most definitely the same mindset, forward thinking visionaries!

Genuinely can't find a drummer with as much talent as him
Happy Birthday, eternal legend
Absolutely amazing drummer. RIP Sean 😔
Heart broken to here the news! Met Sean a few times and he was the greatest drummer to ever play! Top 5 in all styles and one of the main reasons I drummed and to this day still blows my mind how one human can pull this off in the studio then play it perfect live. RIP!!
Fucking incredible that he did a one-take on something that intricate and technical. So far ahead of his time, and a true icon of metal drumming.
Effortless. So fluid in motion, doesn't even break a sweat. Bravo.
Amazing, simply one of the greatest minds ever to get behind a kit.
Goodbye Sean. You will never be forgotten.
one of the best songs ever written and paired perfectly with such a talented percussionist. this song and cynic's focus changed my life and the way i play
I hadent heard to much about sean before his passing but good lord this guy had some major chops. So sad to lose such talent, and im sure a great guy!
His humility and professionalism is legendary
He was one of the reasons for me starting to play drums, just wanted to play like him on the death human tour. I failed him miserably ... but i don´t care still love about everything he did. from death to aeon spoke .... i´m really mouring.
His contemporary, Steve Flynn, was a beast too (Atheist)
I'm still going back and watching this video 4 years after first seeing it. Still one of my favorite Cynic songs with some absolutely incredible patterns, and Sean nails every single note on a dime in one take. So glad this stuff exists

"Oh shit I forgot to hit record... lol" - Producer
Is there anything this guy can't do? There's a fine line of being inspired and wanting to give up after seeing performances like this.
Awesome. I still have the tape of this demo! We wrote Jason in 1991 (I think) and he sent us a green Maxell cassette! Fantastic video!
The greatest of the great. May he rest in peace.
