Brutal display of impeccable technique, precision and musicality all in one. There's only one Hellhammer, and he has been ruling the extreme scene for more than 30 years at this point.
I've had the pleasure of meeting Hellhammer. I am not sure he understands himself on what a level of genius he's operating on as a drummer. And if he does, he's still one of the most down to earth celebs I ever met. This performance is like watching the world's greatest surgeon be in the zone.
I wish that Hellhammer would make some kind of drum DVD.. Playing songs from multi angle and giving some technigue tips etc. ... And i'm not even a drummer.
+V Flygare we film most of the shows with drum cam now. it will come more this year, i am just not good to upload it on youtube (bad internett) there is some more videos on my FB
+Bong Master , Oh Cool! I guess you are working in Mayhem's tour crew or as Hellhammer's drum tech or something like that. It's great that you are filming him playing! Thumbs up for you, bro! Btw, You should ask the Grandmaster himself if he had been thinking about making any kind drumming lesson videos or stuff like that, haha . I'm sure that I wouldn't be the only interesting in them :)
He is the master of masters, the king of kings under all those fantastic drummers. His precision and the fusion style between Jazz and Black Metal is just the greatest pleasure to listen to. Not to forget the incredible tempi he can play that easily. So I feel a little honoured that 2004 in Munich I witnessed Hellhammer playing one bad mistake during some Chimera song. Maniac, Blashemer and Necro couldn't believe it. They were turning around to him asking: what, YOU? So good to know that he is still a human being.
@@tobiaskeitel7870 Yep! I think Trym Torson from Emperor was one, Tjodalv from early Dimmu Borgir was another if i remember correctly. The drumming in the scandinavian's extreme scene was truly shaped by this legend.
@C L more than overrated... Nowadays these kids see a fast drummer and for them that's the meaning of being the best ... He is a good drummer but no the best ...
i read people complaining about attilas stage prescence, which shows how little some people know about entertaining an audience. it is very hard to have an audience paying full attention to you when all you are doing is staying put in just one place playing your instrument. You might not like his vocals, but hes constantly gesticulating and wandering about, unlike both guitarrist and the bassist, who hardly moved 2 feet from here they started the show. Also he kicks maniacs fucking ass...
+GamerDares wins maybe, maybe. In my opinion, HH does his thing with more feeling, while Kollias does it more in a mathematical perfected way. Anyway, we're talking about percussion Gods. Oh, and i don't think Kollias would even agree to be part of the instrument of Satan that Ordo ad Chao was. 🤘😀🤘
maestrazo¡¡¡¡ tecnica impresionante, lo hace tan facil que si te sientas no lo sacas tiene ademas una velocidad y un blast beat encabronadisimo.mi idolo maestrazo¡¡¡hellhammer
wasn't trying to watch this but this was definitely worth recording . Hell Brutal Hammer. how is this so fast and full of talent. the freak band . that should never have existed . But HellHammer U Live On. the Legend. Legion of one . what if u were to bring Mayhem back today . could we handle it . Yo
Fall Of Seraphs too, the cymbal's work on the intro is insane... Overall, Symbols Of Bloodswords and Fall Of Seraphs have both incredible and groovy drum's patterns from the amazing Wolf's Lair Abyss...
Just. Fucking. BRILLIANT!! Hail the almighty Hellhammer! When are you guys coming out to Australia again? I was at your one-off De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas show in Melbourne, January 17th 2018. I would love to catch you live here again as soon as possible. Cheers!
Dominator is incredible, the guy has such amazing speed and control, however I won't discredit hellhammer, he brings such groove to the scene while also maintaining such ferocity and speed
@@dumahdrummer654 I think if it wasn't for Blasphemer's massive influence on Mayhem's sound, Hellhammer would likely be playing nothing but blastbeats... Blasphemer-era albums are absolutely phenomenal once you can forget about whether it's "trve Mayhem" or not. I love the fact that most of the second wave artists moved on and did something much more interesting after the scene became an international joke.
@@Metal-Possum Nah, HH was already experimenting and incorporating all kinds of styles in his playing, especially fusion stuff, well before Blasphemer. He always played different stuff, metal or extreme music just gave him his career. But what you said about Mayhem leaving behind the "trve kvlt" scene and nonsense is very true, thankfully. Both Blasphemer and Maniac were instrumental for taking the band to the next level.
You're like me There's a shit ton of talent in this band and Hellhammer is incredible. But there's definitely nothing melodic about them, which I tend to think is a crucial part of Black Metal.
Not that I am agreeing with the other two, but melody isn't "happy keyboard melodies", it can exude any type of emotion, the complete opposite of "happy keyboard melodies". Not only that, but there many ways one can create Black Metal, look at fucking Enslaved.

Hail Hellhammer!
viva_hate Fanny comment, its obvious
Well, if you count the hi-hat as a cymble, he uses all thirteen. DOH
Well, why wouldn't he? He'd leave some at home otherwise.
He's playing a man's drum set for creative music that demands musicality.

He seems so chill and genuine as a person.
ok well i want the pleasure of fucking hellhammer🙄

+V Flygare I would love to see that
+V Flygare he has so less video from him in the internet, every other drummer has more
+tonydamaga yeah true. It would cool if he'd film himself practicing and post it here occasionally. :p

He’s the greatest black metal drummer ever even better than Frost and Dominator.
@@mattevans923 absolutely, they're like students beside him. Some actually were his students😄

Hellhammer is one of the most underated drummer ever...
in my oppinion he is the best drummer ever
who's under rated him?
He's not underrated, is the oposite. He is recognised as a top drummer from the metal scene.
@@yamymusic best drummer ever?? According to what ?? Blind fans everywhere
@C L more than overrated... Nowadays these kids see a fast drummer and for them that's the meaning of being the best ... He is a good drummer but no the best ...
I’m obsessed with this guy’s playing.
His drum parts are so intricate. Great fun to watch.
Jan Axel Blomberg is a brilliant genius drummer!
Musically one of the best extreme metal drummer out there !
Still delivered perfectly twice at GMF 2022, with both Arcturus and Mayhem a few hours apart.. Total dedication! Hail !!!
I met Hellhammer a few years ago outside a show; super cool and nice guy!

best black metal drummer ever....
Derrota Mundial listen Infernal War - Ściąć Nazarejczyka and listen this blast.
Check out Vengeance Rising from Keep of Kalessin. Vyl is a beast of a drummer.
i would say frost is on the same level. both on top for me
Trym Torsen! But yeah Hellhammer is right there too!
Carl Michael Eide, hands down my favorite. Ive seen Hellhammer live a couple times....fantastic.
incredible
wonderful
the drumstick is part of your body
drum contest: Satan vs Hellhammer .
Satan gives up before it starts.
Then kollias walks in and Hellhammer admits defeat.
+GamerDares wins maybe, maybe. In my opinion, HH does his thing with more feeling, while Kollias does it more in a mathematical perfected way. Anyway, we're talking about percussion Gods.
Oh, and i don't think Kollias would even agree to be part of the instrument of Satan that Ordo ad Chao was. 🤘😀🤘
+Rolf B Ordo and Chao?
GamerDares wins Ordo ad Chao
Well we all know Satan plays the fiddle.
One the best drummer in the world

Thats not a drum set, thats a fucking fortress
that second half of symbols is mindblowing, like, where did they even find this guy!
unique styleee! so so talented hellhammer
This is what Mastery looks like if anyone was wondering. Inspiring.
There is man and then there's Hellhammer.
Hellhammer is considerably better than I had ever given him credit for being.
I love his drumming on "Live in Leipzig"
wow, how effortlessly perfect,
2:13 Hellhammer: Could you please go and tell Atilla to sing better? Thank you
Thank you. Cant stand him. Utter shite.
@@hearsegod8909 That same year he did a more than great job at Brutal Assault and on their DMDSA DVD tho.
@@torment-ge3wo Yep, he actually gave a pretty outstanding performance
Atilla is great on the recordings, but his live stuff is shite
could you tell yourself to not be Deaf Forever instead of Dead Forever? Thank you.
Master Blomberg!
absolutely fantastic, he loves that right china. greatness
Some precise double strokes going on there.
Infernal drum session.... hailsss Hellhammer... the best...
7:43 probably telling his tech to turn down something haha
Yep, the vocals! Hehe
Also at 2:15
He always did hahahahah
Hellhammer is the fuckin' man. Dude is so versatile.

Greatest drummer in black metal history. Period.
9:12 - 9:36ish... damn.
+Jay LeMaire song? :c
+Polosineditar Last riff on Wolf's Lair Abyss. Or the first riff on Grand Deceleration.
Fn Symbols of Bloodswords! Thats the song that made me understand what he was capable of behind that wall of noise way back in 97-98. Love that song!
Fall Of Seraphs too, the cymbal's work on the intro is insane... Overall, Symbols Of Bloodswords and Fall Of Seraphs have both incredible and groovy drum's patterns from the amazing Wolf's Lair Abyss...

Looks like an 80's fitness instructor ... Fashion lmfao ... Gay as fuck
Great playing
Man the way he hits those cymbals.

+Cocobolo81 You've definitely seen a different Bernanrd Purdie then / have no clue what the fuck you are talking about.
Compliment or insult?

14:25 _My Death_! Awesome song!
Such a great drum part I couldn't look away from the video for the entire song
Excellent technique.
This is sooooo goooooood......

No problem
Just send me message if you are somewhere near
Bongmaster is drum tech?
Yes drum tech
Nice!! Were you in Sacramento Thursday? I was at the show in Sacramento. One hell of a show!
No I don't work with mayhem only arcturus now
Don't have time for mayhem they are to busy for me and my normal job
Can someone tell me where i can see watchers live?
A song time stamp would be useful, just saying
You make one yet? I've been watching you for a year now.
He's good drummer, but Dominator from Dark Funeral is my favorite.

If you’re a drummer and you’ve never hit a cymbal and choked the one right next to it like @ 4:07 then news flash... you’re not a drummer
LOL
rippin!!
fucking sick
name of the first song ? wtf i've never heard it ..
whats is the name of this song? 10:27
its from grand declaration of war, cant remember the song but its def from that album
thank you man.
the name is "to daimonion part 1"

Watch out Danny Carey. This dude is a friggin beast!!
