- For episode 13 of Machinedrum Mondays I am reacting to the Dark Funeral drum cam performance of Vobiscum Satanas! Dominator's performance BLEW ME AWAY! I was extremely impressed by his stounding speed and visceral mastery of the drumset. Black metal really is a genre all of its own with intensity like this!

![Drummer Reacts to Dark Funeral [Nils Fjellstrom DRUMCAM]](/img/n.gif)
I can't believe what I just witnessed!
You need to check more of him, even a video call "hail murder" (white scenario better quality) or is video with axis pedals (excelent quality) ahahah total stamina drumming ahahah. Ps - he plays with steel toe military boots xD and that band whose video you checked their shows are literally blasting the way out of it . And yes he's one of the goats 😂😂😂🐐
@@ProjectVastness i will definitely be revisiting him!im super intrigued by him now!
He is amazing 🤘
watching people react to Nils, is always so fun and never gets old.
Haha well stay tuned because he coming back on this channel again!
Yeah it's always good.like mgla etc
Facts.
I've watched all the fast metal drumming videos I can over the years and when I saw this one it was kind of like finding the best one ever.
The drummer literally blasts for an hour straight. It’s incredible to watch!!
“And he’s in armor” killed me. Good stuff!
Lmao! I couldn't help it. I had to point it out *boots up skyrim*
AND he's wearing big ass combat boots!
@@DrumlionMusic Armor is -80 damage, boots are -40, and gloves are -40. He doesn't want to kill the fans.
The world of black and extreme metal drumming might contain more talent and creativity than any other genre I've ever encountered, and I'm 65. This guy is jaw-dropping.
Absolutely agree with this!
Metal drummers can’t play jazz. Jazz drummers can’t play extreme metal, unless your Thomas Lang 😂
@@Taserrface Thomas is ridiculously well rounded. Hes a true drummers drummer if that makes sense. Definitely a reason why hes like THE guy for clinics and studios alike.
@@Taserrface or Kai Hahto 😉
Cheers to that 🤘🏻
His drum tech Simon deserves a lot of credit for the great quality of this sound mix. Simon is always working hard to capture great drum cam videos of Dominator despite the deafening ambience of a black metal stage.
This is a drum playthrough I can watch over and over and over. Like seriously, some of those fills are so creative like especially the snare - hi hat thing he does is absolutely insane.
Im right there with you on that! Like hes an absolute blast to watch!
For me it's the amount of power he puts in each hit at that tempo. I'd be dead after half a song playing that hard 😅
Especially stomping out double bass that fast in boots!
@@DrumlionMusic Bit like Gene Hoglan in that regard hehe
@@SockerConny80 this is so true
I wouldnt last 20seconds playing this lol
Nils is the Ultimate Dominator on drumming precision. His hits are all on equal strength and value to each other. Absolutely perfect.
Nils is a force of nature behind the kit and his live performances is always better than the studio version because of the improvisations he adds, you can go and check the original track but you won't be able to hear the drums that well and yes the kick drum is triggered which is completely normal.
One last thing to notice that this track is one of the fairly moderate or easy tracks by Nils, he has a lot of other live footages that will absolutely blow your head
I love watching him perform. I will be revisiting him often on this channel
Dominator clay pool bucket head burton c bell let’s make the band
Love this video and yes, Dominator is an amazing drummer!
Best reaction I ever watched 🫡
Saw this band with him live a few years ago, it was an experience....
Holy shit 😮😮😮
WOOOOO
"Ridiculously intense" is one of the better describes for bands like Dark Funeral and 1349 that you can use. Some Black metal bands just push that stuff.
But then we have black metal bands that almost go for the opposite. I love that genre for that reason.
You should listen to the album version too or at least a live version that's not just the drums, just to get the feel of how the drumming matches the intensity of the song. I saw these guys live and they're wild!
Was i the only one that also noticed how he sometimes changed grip of the stick during some parts (while not missing a beat and still hitting hard). Super frikkin impressive 🔥🔥
you seem like a really good fellow and musician, subbed!
Dominator dominates!
death by a thousand cuts ..... damn
Told you broooo thankksssss he’s sooo good
THIS IS A GREAT 100 VIDEO TO HAVE
Glad you liked it friend! And i will be revisiting more performances by him, i can promise you that!
Nils is one of the most intense drummers I've ever seen, people say it's cus he wears light armour, so he get's like +10 in speed. But he is something else. Great reaction!
lol i forgot about the bonus light armor gives versus wearing medium or heavy armor!
@@DrumlionMusic u should check out this one, not saying you should make a video on it but check it out, he go real fast in this one lmao
ua-cam.com/video/abTGam8QIwo/v-deo.html&ab_channel=SimenFolkestadStormoen
The Irony of him saying please don't crucify me while reacting to a black metal track is gold haha😂
Lmao
@@DrumlionMusic It was fantastic, glad you dug the video though, Nils was tech death band called Aeon that also had some pretty gnarly drums.
Awesome reaction man! Regarding the studio version of the song - it is played in a more simple way drum-wise (the drummer for the record was Tomas Asklund), Dominator just pushed it to inhuman level, just like he did with other older songs!
That name sounds super familiar... I need to look up more by him, as well as Dominator. Thanks so much for this information
That's why he's the Dominator 🤘🤘
And i loved it
Hey great video by the way-!- I an now subscribed my brother, keep the content coming and have a metal as fuck day 🔥🤘
@@salazarwarlok2244 i hugely appreciate this! Thanks so much!
@@DrumlionMusic Same here, just saw your video while I was searching for Dominator videos. Subscribed and liked.
black metal drummers are geniuses. fenriz, darkseid, dominator, frost........
i remember being young metalhead in the nineties, hearing Vobiscum Satanas cd for the first time. My mind was blown.
I don't think it was Nils on drums for the CD, i'm sure it was Tomas Asklund, unless there is another version of the album i'm unaware of
Just WOW. Incredible work!
Definitely agree!
He's mostly using fingers when blasting on the snare, but on the toms he's switching to more of a wrist motion to maintain the power due to lesser rebound on the tom heads. He is incredibly consistent with his single and double strokes and by far my favorite death/black metal drummer!
Im super impressed by his abilities. And he is incredibly fun to watch!
Amazing, simply amazing
Wow, a react channel... reacting! You had good input and i loved your facial expressions during this video lol
Gratz on 100 vids :D that's awesome. Yeah that was absolutely ridiculous, again: dynamic brutal and intense, phenomenal drum work. Great reaction as always.
Thanks so much bro
Don't stop brother! Please!!!
You should react to "Hail murder" live with Dominator. Incredible
Stoked to see you checking out Nils, he is a mutant, his work on the new Nordjevel album is savage🤘
im definitely hooked!
Watching this vid was the highlight of my day. Dominator is one of the most interesting drummers to watch, period. I can appreciate all kinds of genres and musicianship, but there is something about seeing someone perform to a level that doesn't even feel human that is incredibly engrossing. I'm an avid black metal guy and I've appreciated Dominator for years now, but his drum cam vids still floor me.
Im glad you enjoyed the video. As soon as i get through a few other recommendations from my audience, Dominator is coming back because i honestly enjoyed the hell out of watching him!
I know this is a bit of an "older post", but im glad you touched on how time consuming and the amount of work involved for a high production "react" video. I know its just out of ignorance since the majority of creators that do "react" content, actually do just use a cheap webcam, hit play, and spend maybe an hour or so to trim the video a bit and upload. But for me, within the first 5 seconds of the first video of yours, I knew immediately that amount of time, talent, and work you put into these videos is such high production value, which just screams Quality and is 100x more appealing. Thank you, again, for putting so much that integrity into your content instead of taking the attitude of " ehh, Good enough, Im getting views"...I might have made a comment before but this is also coming from a music of 15+ years, whos done video compositing/editing, an Audio technician/engineering with mixing/mastering, among other jobs. I reoognize that bar youve set and I genuinely appreciate it.
You have no idea how much a comment like this means to me. You have your finger on the pulse on what it takes to produce quality entertainment. For that i truly salute you. And thank you so much for your words. The fact that you can recognize what it takes to create, because of your own talents and experience, gives this comment even more weight. Again, i thank you from the bottom of my heart for your words. And just know you have inspired and motivated me.
Awesome and Undescriptible those are the words 🤘🔥🤘 a BM God
I am so glad to come across this review, I think your expressions sum it up perfectly, that is a man in total awe of sheer drumming skills and appreciate them.
So how did you get on with your "black metal" research? Did you find even more insane Black metal bands?
2 other very impressive drummers for you to check out are Nicholas Barker (Brujeria and Shining nowadays, back in the day Cradle of Filth and Dimmu Borgir) and Blast Vader himself: David Gray (Akercocke, Antichrist Imperium, Voices and as a live drummer for Anaal Nathrakh)
I was able to watch him live and he's basically superhuman was a blur.
This was a good reaction, a nice mix of theory and just feeling it. I think your voice and way of speaking is very calming, something I enjoyed.
10:17 Nils didn't record the drums for that album, which was released in 1998. Tomas Asklund did and then, 10 years later, he became the drummer for Gorgoroth.
I was in a band (similar music as this) and my little sister's friends had their own band which was a grindcore band and we had band practice spaces in the same building and a couple nights i jammed with them and their drummer was easily one of the best drummers i had ever seen in real life and he was only about 17 years old. Phenomenal. This drummers playing is similar to the person I'm talking about. An amazing drummer is a godsend and or miracle. I can't hold a drum beat to save my life.
I wish so bad i started drumming that early. And clearly at 17 the guy is truly truly gifted as a drummer too. But salute to you and your family of musicians as well! My father (RIP) was a long time guitarist and no matter where we got stationed at he always found a band to play in.
the faster the better
Hails, brother! I love that you reacted to Nils, man! Seeing him live is just as intense as you felt about this video. Hands down the fastest and most precise drummer I've ever seen live.
Another drummer you should check out on his level is Paweł "Stormblast" Pietrzak if you can find a drum cam video. Another good one is Darkside from MGLA.
"And he's in armour"
*Daedric Armour*
I'm cracking up over that 🤣
😄 It was the first thing that came to mind lol
His playing is full blown domination. Maybe that's where he got his name 🤔
Full control, accuracy and raw power. His name fits him well.
Much have been said here about Nils. I am bot a drummer.. but can’t stop looking at videos like this and admire them. What I as a non drummer is fascinated by (other then his speed and so on) is the fact that Nils always plays in big army boots..
As a drummer its SUPER IMPRESSIVE
"I know we are good, but you take it to a whole new level Man !"
- Rabbits fvcK1ng to Nils
The most impressive thing about Nils is that you can tell he’s beating the fuck out of his kit, but everything is still so precise.
its insane watching him work!
That is insane!
Oh no doubt about it!
Liked and subscribed. Stay at it man, people will turn up. You are very likable.
I really appreciate your words, thanks so much..
You have been Dominated !!
Good! Ill gladly take more lol!
@@DrumlionMusic ha ha Yeh its a high watching . Thanks for video :D
His fills made my brain exploded 🔥
This is accurate lol
He's from my hometown... 🤘🏻
Oh nice!
Congrats on # 100. You’re videos are great and you are very engaging. Keep up the great work.
This means alot to me! Thanks so much!
To quote the great Norm Macdonald…. That actually looks easy
He's playing that in boots. 😁
Now imagine a whole set of those kinds of songs. Most of their albums are just balls to the wall speed fests. Definitely a highly regarded band for a reason!
And I like how he throws it all out there live. There's little flubs and shit he makes, but it tends to happen when you're playing 100000 bpm like he is! Great reaction!
I was so entertained by his drumming! It was an absolute blast. Hes going to end up needing a dedicated playlist on my channel lol
Is insane great reaction universal blessing 🤘🏼☄️🖤
Huge thanks to you!
Nils most intense band is Myrkskog. Check out Deathmaschine their 2000´s debut.
Yeah he is a master of his craft. No improvisation there. No slop
Oh don't forget,
Nils *Dominator* plays in Boots..that's right BOOTS.
Check out his live version of their song Hail Murder. Just as good. Cheers
And he is playing in combat boots.
Not to mention he isnt playing in light weight sneakers, but full leather boots with steel and buckles in them and shit
Haha very true!
Great video I'm a new subscriber and I love the content! Emperor - Anthems To The Welkin At Dusk is also a great technical listen! Have a good day.
Ill definitely check this out! Thanks for the recommendation! And thank you for your support!
This guy is a total maniac!!!
Haha yep!
Check out Kjetil-Vidar Haraldstad a.k.a "Frost" from Satyricon
Dude, i love when other get nerdy about the things the enjoy doing.
Its like you have the energy of an excited child, something i lack.. so dude keep up the good work.
haha some of these drummers really bring it out of me
#SIXPASTHELL
He’s left hand lead so it’s always opposite to the base. It’s always linear so the base is isolated. Just like E.S. LKRK perfectly spaced at tempo gives this effect. Hundreds of hours of practicing just that gives the quadrapuss effect. Bonham was a master of the left side together then RK.
Awesome! Love this guy/band. Your views are really interesting Thanks! $100 is an insult!! Thanks a lot!
Literally right off the bat it's Joey Jordanson...absofrigginlutely no doubt about it!
🤘😝🤘
RIP Joey! Nils does look like he could be family to him
@@DrumlionMusic both of their blast beats are definitely blood related! Lol! 🤘🤘
@@DrumlionMusic liked & sub'd btw....great content bro
@@joey_morg hugely appreciate this!
I like your vibes man, would love to sit down and have a beer with you. Good reaction video!
That would be cool one day!
Ok. This is Dark Funeral. There is only 1 nils. BUT the band Marduk is sick and also Swedish black metal. I suggest something from album “world funeral “ for production purposes though I personally prefer the album those of the unlight. Older, rawer, but fast af too.
Check the video from Dominator playing in 1349 Celestial Deconstrucción
Great stuff brother! I know you already check mgła... but would you consider do him one more time.. this time ( Age of excuse I drum rehearsal) mind blowing... seriously... mind blowing. Thanks 🤘🏽
Of course we wanna hear, what you have to say!! Wow....and cool video...
That means alot. Thank you..
As a Gen Xer, Dominator has been the "level up" from Dave Lombardo, IMO. I don't like many of Dark Funeral's songs, but this guy is one of the best drummers of my lifetime. You have to wonder what else a guy like Dominator could do if he changed music styles (particularly if asked to play more at slower tempos or just in a death-doom metal band with lots of moderate tempos). Oleta Adam's husband can blow you away live, similarly, but in an utterly different style.
DrumLion: check out this newer Dominator video ua-cam.com/video/gemaHT-zO70/v-deo.html
Breath dude
NILS is a Bat Out Of Hell
Man, that intro is basically a quarter mile top fuel dragster run.
Haha yep, and apparently there is much faster stuff out there than this by him. I will definitely be revisiting him in more videos.
I’m not much of a black metal guy, but I am slightly familiar with this drummer. And I think he might be the fastest drummer. Especially in terms of playing that fast for an entire set. Red Bull gives you wings!
Edit: I’m not a drummer, so please do correct me if I’m wrong. But there’s something awkward about his technique in terms of movement. Like his cross overs and when he fills across the kit. Am I wrong?
Its interesting that you point this out. I really think its mainly because hes a southpaw drummer and his drumset is set up southpaw too. So his approach to fills and overall movement is different. Sometimes its subtle and sometimes it really stands out.
@@DrumlionMusic Yeah, I’m left handed myself. Yet I play both guitar and drums righty. As I left handed person, I can attest that society forces you to do most things righty. And it often results in awkwardness.
If I could play like that.nothings wrong
The guitar hero pic looks like Lord Ahriman of Dark Funeral. ⚔️
i looked him up. and yes he does lol!
If you think that is insane please check him out playing "Hail Murder" with the same band where he is going super-sonic and blasts through the song at around 280bpm while still playing actual accents on the ride cymbal. complete bonkers
Oh im definitely going to do that! This i gotta see...
Have u heard the drummers
Thomas Haake (Meshuggah)
Aaron Mellegård (Dirty Loops)
Morgon Ågren
?
Amazing drummers
Im more familiar with Thomas than Aaron. But admittedly I've only heard of Aaron from comments. Im going to make videos on both of these drummers especially Aaron because it will be a fresh experience. And Morgon ill have to look into entirely.
@@DrumlionMusic
Fredrik Thorendahl & Morgan Ågren - Sol niger within
Dirty Loops - work shit out
🤗🤘
That character from guitar hero looks a lot like Abbath, both in face shape and corpsepaint style
I had to look this up. You're 100 percent correct. The likeness is spot on lol
Def a true BM drummer Dominator is but one of the horde, there are more my brother, I love what you're doing 😎🤘⚔️
Thanks so much! Black metal has definitely sank its teeth into me!
@@DrumlionMusic welcome to the slaughterhouse!
wow that was insane! another great video!
I really appreciate this! I apologize that it was so late me putting it out. Almost didn't even get it published before midnight which would have defeated the title Machinedrum Mondays lol.
"nordjevel" in Norwegian is "northern devil" or I guess "devil of the north".
i dont think he uses triggers you can see every time he leans forward when he really speeds up double bass also he's usually always playing in combat boots or whatever boot fit the outfit but he doesn't play in shoes or barefoot like a lot of guys, playing in boots is nuts anyway but Nils Dominator has many videos up guys is amazing. check out ALEX RUDINGER " XENOCHRIST' Drum video
You should 100% check out a drum playthrough with Vildhjarta. I recommend Toxin or Den helige anden.
ill definitely be doing this! i will note your specific recommendations too
Aaron Kitchner:
C_ _t Crusher drum play through
The dude looks like he’s constantly in 1.5x speed
Lol he kinda does now that you mention it
Before DF he played in Defleshed. Check out the song 'Farewell To The Flesh'. Steady contender in my '5 most venomous death/trash songs of all time' list. Listen loud!
this sounds enticing! ill have to take you up on this!
Idk if you've checked out Anthony Barone before but he also hits like a tank with the endurance of one too!
Anthony is definitely on my radar. His name has been mentioned a few times on the channel
