I particularly liked the hi-hat game in the "quiet" parts.
What a brilliant piece, Damien!

[@indiedrumkid]

Bravo sir!🤘

[@Sithreis]

Ive seen a lot of drummers over the years and seen a lot use toms to get a double bass sound, but good god the fill at 1:14 (and the lead up to it) is impeccable. Killer stuff as always

[@pawelm.456]

je me rapelle de fills de fous dans le genre avec le bras cassé dans l'émission OCLP !

[@gasi9613]

À 04h00 du matin, après le biberon de mon garçon , j’écoute et je me fais plaisir!! Ça donne pas mal avec les AirPods Pro! Génial ! Il me fait penser à Jose Pasillas de Incubus ! Le grooove le speed la technique, il me faut une vie complète pour essayer de jouer ainsi… Maybe my little Son! Bravo M. Damien ! ❤

[@normst.hilaire6562]

Fire,

[@CLASSBATTERIECoverCours]

Vitesse, precision, débits, doigtés maitrise du son et des idées géniales. bravo !!! Tout simplement magnifique au fur et à mesure des années ton jeu Damien est de plus en plus impressionnant et complet.

[@DamienSchmittOfficialTVChannel]

Merci beaucoup !!!!🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@user-ji6rm8hu9k]

Super!!

[@keyboardtek]

Techno keyboard composers double the drum track tempo to achieve this hyper drum track effect. It used to be considered too fast for humans to play this style. Damien may be the only drummer who can do this so accurately.

[@fabbattsingfabricetejou]
