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.
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!
Man, it's just so delicious to hear Chuck all over the place in the rhythms riffs and melodies...Obscura Rules! Thanks for the ongoing everlasting legacy...keep the metal faith alive
Man you and Alex Rudinger take the cake for combining rhythmically complex songs with blistering pace. Both of you are so clean and uniquely different but equally talented. You both make playing this kind of stuff look relaxing.
i would just say that David has a better technique. Alex is leaning his neck quite heavily forward during double kick parts and reaching cymbals almost behind him at the same time. OUCH i get hurt watching Alex but not David. David seems also less tired, more stamina.
@@jiboo6850 nonsense. That's just how he plays, his technique is fine. They're both insane drummers, teasing apart whose better at that level is pointless.
Never heard of this band...never heard of this drummer..watched it three times in a row and taking it all in...amazing...love it....am blown away..thank you. Dude,you are off the hook
@@SmokeBreakStudios ever since I saw Marco doing the Goose neck technique covering subliminal servitude and drumming for brain drill I have had a fascination with the mechanics of human motion and conservation of energy.
@@SmokeBreakStudios yeah I saw that when Samus did the video on that guy. Freaks of percussion my dude. I am but a mere mortal and I am not worthy haha
Obscura has never had anything close to an unworthy drummer, but now we are graced with a fellow that brings the spirit of Saint Bobby Jarzombek to the holiest of the metals. The gods do smile their favor upon us these days.
@@loveroflife1438 Mine read another band for a long time and it wasnt mu band, that's qhy I prefer to ask, although your sarcasm must have helped someone along the way. Atta boy.
The cleanliness and technical proficiency on display here is jaw dropping. Diepold is a machine! I like how he's wearing a Slayer shirt, as if to make a point that high precision isn't always important in music. I think we can all appreciate it in Dave's work with Obscura, though :-)
Yeah David your playing just gives me goosebumbs your dbl bass playing is beyond a MN asking I hope you come to Portland Oregon I'd definetly wanna see you live thanks for all the videos you've shared you the man
Wow!!! The dynamics here are utterly astounding... as well as the skill. 1st video I have seen of his but I am supremely impressed. Not usually a fan of this super fast newer metal drumming because becomes like a droning noise to me. He breaks it up so perfectly. Its not overkill and I enjoy the super fast parts so much more when its broken up. Dude's a genius drummer.
David, you're becoming one of my favorite drummers in metal. Your work on both the latest Cognizance and Obscura albums is fantastic. Also, would be cool to see Christian do a guitar playthrough of this song, as it features some of his best lead work to date.
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. If you ever read this David, thank you.
This is classic music in a new form.David you are the master at this genre and i guess and to many others!That thing i love to your playing is that you have amazing musicallity something difficult to give in a so much technical drumming part.Yes your playing is perfect but with great feeling the same time!!Very important combination
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 cant express the perfection in his playing it simply is unmatched
David has gotta be the most relaxed extreme player I’ve ever seen. He looks so comfortable, what a pro!
Man, it's just so delicious to hear Chuck all over the place in the rhythms riffs and melodies...Obscura Rules! Thanks for the ongoing everlasting legacy...keep the metal faith alive
Just incredible!!!!
Dude you got a like from David. Thats the rarest occurence in the Universe
These guys know each other;)
@@AFacemarkedbyFea Dude He is Sahil Makhija & David Recorded drums for Sahils's project 😁
@@AFacemarkedbyFea If you want to get like from him, get verified first😂

You took the words out of my mouth lol they are technical machines
And without any bullshittery, its insanely impressive.

Mörderisch!!! 🙌
hats off to mr. diepold's videographer - consistently dynamic shots that are very much appreciated.
that fill at 1:28....sooo good
Technical Metal without "singing" is on of the best music-genres ever!
Every time i see one of your videos, i went to spend the next 5 years practicing push-pull with my left hand. Another awesome video!
He sets the bar really high for Technique. I enjoy this as much as I enjoy listening to it being implemented.
@@lazyjackass77 I totally agree!
@@SmokeBreakStudios ever since I saw Marco doing the Goose neck technique covering subliminal servitude and drumming for brain drill I have had a fascination with the mechanics of human motion and conservation of energy.
@@lazyjackass77 Have you checked out ricardo merlini? The way he plays doesn't even seem possible.
@@SmokeBreakStudios yeah I saw that when Samus did the video on that guy. Freaks of percussion my dude. I am but a mere mortal and I am not worthy haha
Worthy successor to the Obscura drummer's chair! Great parts, too.

Thumbs up before that ad even ended - LETS GOOOOO
I’ve mentioned it before but damn David, you can arrange an incredible drum track. Your transitions to the twin rides are lightning.
deeds of flesh lets gooooo
@@t0nyloaf portals fuck yeh.
@@t0nyloaf You have exceptional taste. Darren Cesca’s the man.
@@Clownbaby666 Love ‘Portals’ but prefer ‘Nucleus’. Darren Cesca’s drumming is peerless.
Wow... as usual. We'll be in touch in a few days ;)
Well it was worth the wait
Always is, good sir 🤘
Love seeing David putting out a new playthrough vid, he's been my top favorite drummer!!!!
Same here!
This guy is amazing.
This is NOT a cover correct?
He is OBSCURA's drummer, right?
Correct
@@metalover2 Thanks man.
Hope so look at his bass drum logo 😆
@@loveroflife1438 Mine read another band for a long time and it wasnt mu band, that's qhy I prefer to ask, although your sarcasm must have helped someone along the way. Atta boy.
How long I wonder.
one of the worlds best drummers. best technique. best clean drumming. best speed. best groooooove. best song witing. i like.
im not a drummer, but i love drumming that mixes tech and groove seamlessly, David is crushing it with Obscura!
#1 drummer in the world right now.
I cant tell which I'm more envious of; Dave's drumming, or how well he can pull off them JORTS
Not only is this a great drum playthrough, but a great backing track for vocal coverers!
Ok boys and girls, one of the best drummers there is, plain and simple!
So clean, so crisp... love the rides. SUPERB
Any drummer who wants a visual refresh of near-flawless core stabilization and limb control, watch THIS. Insanely underrated.
It's awesome that you're a part of Obscura now!!
The double ride bells was beautiful, love when drummers do that
I’m a simple man. I see David uploads a video, I like. I even grew a mustache cuz of this man. Haha
Dude's incredible.. he's so calm yet so powerful..🤘
Perfect solid drums! Congrats for the great performance in A Valediction. One of the best records of the year 👏🏻
I like the fact that he has lots of gear, but you can still see him playing. Everything is spaced and placed perfectly.
Man this drumming fits perfectly into this song,I'm blown away🤯
to me... perfection in all aspect as always and great nostalgic riffs
2:45 great part !!!
this dude's precision and accuracy are insane!
I'm so glad you still make videos. I've been watching you for years. Love it!
I love the mix between progressive metal & speed metal in this song
eh, barely progressive metal at all. Whole band’s genre changed when Sebastian left.
When I get a notification from David Diepold, I click and watch! 🤘
Love the cymbal accents! Great tone matching the guitars.
Incredible playing as always David! I love this song and your drumming is FLAWLESS!! Such tasteful parts and epic fills!
Yeah this new album and David’s drumming on it is beyond rad.. great addition to Obscura.
Nothing like getting in that zone where the drum(s) are like a part of your mind and body.
I love how easy you make it look. I know for a fact I would look funny trying to repeat this. Skills of a drummer entity.
Incredible technique and precision. The cymbal work in this song is brilliant. Banger of a song too. \m/
Art in its heaviest form!
David this is soooooo sick.
oh yur those blast beats!
One of the GOATs!!!
I’ve gotta send this to my brother! We love David!!
One of the more memorable songs on the new album! Good drumming, man.
This is amazing!!! Always get amped when I see that you’ve uploaded. Such an incredible drummer!!
.. FLAWLESS VICTORY...BRUTALITY!!

I am a guitarist who like to watch drum playing. You are real awesome, love this two drum kicks and your drum set are so cool
I love the vibe of this song! 🔥🔥🤘🤘🔥🔥

Floor toms sounds wicked!!!
This is the best song thanks Dave

Damh this is super solid all the fills the blasts everything is awesome
You are in the definition of perfect drumming. I saw it in this video somewhere
Honestly wouldn't have picked anyone else but you to take over for Sebastian in Obscura your playing is phenomenal!

Awesome as always.
I love the old soilwork vibes in this
BEYOOOOND THE STAAAAARRRS

been a big fan of your playing ever since you uploaded The Inevitable Degradation of Flesh drum cover.
Crazy to see how far you've come
Imagine being an absolute beast of a drummer who can play literally anything.... Now imagine being able to do that in Jorts....
I give it 10/10, ITS REALLY REALLY REALLY GOOD THE SONG, I LOVE METALLLLL!!!!!!!!
WOOOOOW YEEEEAAAAHHHHH GREAT POWER DRUMS!!! GREETINGS!!
Awesome as always, David!

Dude you are truly a talent! Keep it up!
I was waiting for this
Your drum Set sounds awesome 🤘
最近のドラマーで1番好きです！
This made me happy. And I haven't been happy for a long time, so thank you for the great work :) \m/
Did I see "heel toe" at 2.40? Masterpiece
The man has perfected every foot technique known to man.
What an awesome song, killer drumming!
Где ты играешь, чёткость, линейность, лёгкость это просто супер👍
Amazing performance 👏
Impressionante forever drum
So much Flavour in his playing 😝
Hell yeah 🔥🤘🏻❤
