  • Hello everone!
    This ist the drum play through to 'When Stars Collide', the fourth single off OBSCURA's new album "A Valediction", out via Nuclear Blast.

    It was filmed during the recording sessions at Stress Studio Graz with Mathias Garmusch in December 2020.
    Special thanks to my brother Manuel and also Steffen who operated the slider camera!
    When the whole album was done we decided that the drum fill at the very start didn’t really serve the song, so we decided to cut it from the original track. But for the drum play through I thought it may be cool to have it anyways.

    Love how dynamic the whole song is. Gotta give props to David for how he came up with the parts and putting them together into this marvelous piece.

      I mentioned this also. He has developed into an exceptional song writer and I anxiously await each new composition. His drum parts in COGNIZANCE are extraordinary.

    • @hazardeur
      @hazardeur 2 роки тому +3

      dynamic in what way? talking dynamics is usually about the loudness/softness of parts and/or instruments played. This is pretty much 100% all the time so it's not very "dynamic" but rather quite the opposite, at least in the usual sense of the word

      @@Skepsis710 Sebastian is definitely a better fit drummer for Obscura but I don’t mind David doing an album cause then I might actually have a hope in hell of playing an obscura track one day XD. Will Sebastian return in future albums or is David the permanent drummer now?
      Not trying to rag on David either I love his work in both Obscura and Cognizance and he’s a top 5 for me.

    I would not comment on his technique because it is flawless for quite sometime now, BUT I would like to say that drums are written SO DAMN GOOD!!! You play the melodies with guitars, and keep blasting the shit out of drums, which is something incredible! This is what I call drumming and this is what music is about! Cymbals follow the main riff, toms follow guitar swipes, everything is ON POINT! Bravo sir, you've outdone yourself!

    Masterpiece. A clearly brilliant musician using his instrument with vigor and ambition. The double sided ride cymbal isn't out of necessity like perhaps Hoglan's (southpaw) but out of fruition. Cool, calm and collected the whole time. Perfect posture and astounding technique. I'm pretty sure I saw push/pull in there on the snare, which in this man's hand's is utter brutality. 10 out 10.
