I love how you went from, "I'm tired, this is gunna give me a headache i know it", to "this man is a machine, he is a robot", to "i need a drum kit" in one song 😂❤ IA be like that don't they haha
Yessss... It's always such a satsfying feeling to see other people actually enjoying such brutal music.. I do realize that a lot of people can't stomach the vocals for that style of music and I myself am a death metal vocalist I have been for 30 years and anytime people here any of my bands or one of my bands live you know people just always dog the vocals and I'm like a gee thanks yeah that's me . But but really with that style of music there's no other style of vocals that would fit that format I mean you can't do smooth pretty vocals on such heavy fast brutal music it demands brutal toilet bowl lows and insane highs and of course lyric content that would turn your stomach and give you nightmares at night but it's all in the name of fun dude that was an awesome video review brother I'm glad you liked it..
This is actually him playing. He is using triggers to make the sound of each hit consistent, but he can in fact play this. He had a Q/A with his bandmates before their new album dropped and he answered alot of looming questions.
As a thrash metal junkie, I don't really get into this type of metal. However, and it is a big however, I cannot deny that I have tons of respect for the musicianship......especially the drummers, as I am a drummer.
I’ve been playing drums for over 20 years, and you get fast like this by focusing your practicing on getting fast. There are specific techniques that aren’t necessarily used in “normal” drumming that you can use to optimize speed (finger usage, pressure blast, heel swivel, etc) and all of this builds specific muscles that aren’t as utilized in “normal” playing. This sort of drumming is a specialization that you have to basically devote you’re entire playing career to. A more well rounded or versatile (if that’s your goal) drummer probably isn’t going to be able to hang with this guy, but you probably can’t throw this guy into an R&B set.
Agreed. This type of basket requires ALL of your eggs. The speed is impressive... but it's lack of musicality gets old half way through the arrangement. I couldn't listen to a whole night of this.
Even between metal genres, the most extreme drummers wouldn't be able to do each others songs. Imagine if this band had to swap drummers with Meshuggah. Both drummers would just instantly go "yeah, right, that's not gonna happen".
Also anything by "Archspire" including lyric videos, drum playthroughs, bass covers and guitar covers. I can guarantee you that you will not be disappointed by the actual talent it takes to play this type of music. It also takes a very trained ear in music to pay attention to everything that is happening, but please give it a try. Also anything and everything by "Meshuggah" lol
Just because no one else seems to have mentioned it; That left-handed 32nd note staccato role, at about 4:55ish, is called a gravity blast. To just say ‘it’s difficult’ would be an understatement. But doing it with the precision that this is executed, even live, time after time is, well....very difficult. Edit: correct video time.
Honestly learning the finger control for regular blasts is much harder. Single handed rolls come from a larger muscle group so its a lot easier to learn, unconventional, but not overly hard. Finger control took me years of practice, but gravity rolls took maybe a month?
Kerosian1 yep, fair call. My experience was almost the polar opposite of yours, but I totally get your point - that forearm tires out real quick in the early days of learning blasts. Weirdly, the muscle in the heel of my hands (whatever it’s called) would also start to ache after a short while too...too much Little Finger action tucked in there, I think. Anyway, I think my larger point still stands; his Gravity blast is proper on-fucking-point!
@@MelbourneMatty I had that same thing, the pain in the hands for quite a while. It took a long time to realize being completely zen and relaxed is the way to go, getting over that fear of dropping the sticks. He does have that shit down, but man once you get the motion for it its pretty easy to push. Its like the sweet spot is much more forgiving than things like push-pull, you can kinda just muscle through it.
Funny thing is he records IAs drums on an electric drumkit. He is in another band called black tongue that he is probably more serious with (touring, serious lyrics, heavy focus on song writing rather than shock value and showing off how fast you can go)
Dawg I take your point as far as it goes, but if you don't think their newest album tBoY doesn't have a heavy focus on song writing......... You're just crazy You can not like the music if you want. That's cool. But that album is def composed shockingly well
i think a lot of people dont understand the fact that this is a drum playthrough, not a cover. this is showing you how its played and that its possible. yes the audio is dubbed over but its just showing that he can play the drum parts just how it sounds.
So many phenomenal drummer who are obscured by the brutality and lack of musical experience from the vocals. Bad vocals can ruin an otherwise extremely talented band. Especially in metal.
Sweet! I remember listening to Slayer live on UK radio (Monster of Rock gig) and just before they went on stage a radio commentator said "to play like this" (in relation to Slayer about to take the stage) you need to be "as precise as a fighter pilot and fit as an athlete" - i think that statement from around early 90s applies to this drummer - and every drummer who use high energy. Peace.
Once you nail a crazy song on the drums, you will be addicted to doing drum covers for sure. It would be cool to see your progress on the kit bro! Hope you get a kit man!
I'd recommend Animals as Leaders. They're a technical instrumental band and the drummer has many drum through videos like this one. If you do watch more Infant Annihilator you're going to want to avoid the lyrics. It's some seriously dark and disturbing stuff.
3:55 electronic kits can be annoying to setup but it'll save you alot of noise complaints. My Yamaha X450 was a great starter, but you'd want a way bigger kit for this type of stuff.
"theres no way youre playing this fast....." .....welcome to metal........oh and if you want a really great drum play through you should try looking up Signs of the Swarm - Cowards Deathbed drum play through
When you get a crib, a drum kit like that one, and learn to play Infant Annihilator tracks, here's what'll happen... You're going to get a couple of metalheads who live in the neighborhood and hear you playing from the street and they won't believe their ears. They will feel compelled to knock on your door to see what's going on. You're going to answer and and everyone will be confused. They'll ask about Infant Annihilator and what they heard from the street. You'll say "oh yeah, that was me. I'm learning their shit". The metalheads faces will proceed to metal off. The metalheads will both be skilled guitarist and you all will start a band called "Expectations Annihilator". Ice T will find out the story and he'll invite you guys to open for Body Count. Cory Taylor, Tech N9ne, and Infant Annihilator will hear about it and you all will create a global music festival with a charity aimed at exposing more people to more music that they wouldn't normally listen to in order to increase the amount of inclusivity in the world through hip-hop and metal. I can totally see it.
The effortless switch from normal double kick to that impossible heal-toe technique is mind blowing! He's not even using those special pedals people use.
Everything he's doing is technique. Efficiency. Letting the rebound of the stick do the work and controlling it. His feet...think about it like dribbling a basket ball. In no way am I say it's easy but once you understand the technique and practice it enough....you get this cat
Jmvars Triggers are just an electric module that turn acoustic sets into electric ones.. it allows you to set the sound and tones of each drum, making them as loud and clear as you want.. so, obviously he’s going to trigger them, as do every other band that wants their recordings to not sound like shit.
There are a lot of other people who have covered this song, there are also other drummer who are just as fast you should check out Flo Mounier(Cryptopsy), Eugene Ryabchenko(Fleshgod Apocalypse), Marthyn Jovanovic(ex-Belphegor), Nils Fjelstrom
You should check out archspire if you want more fast and insane music. I introduced a friend of mine who is into this genre of music to their music and he immediately said there's no way humans are playing this
I think I have also seen him do decapitation fornication drum playthrough in what appears to be on an electronic drum kit, I was seriously impressed . I highly recommend that also check out Alex rutenger Xenochrist drum playthrough. I have never seen a man play like that before. It's not deathcore like This. Check it out. well done .
Hey my dude could you react to the drum play through of Inferi - Promethean Kings? Also get a practice pad and sticks and start learning rudiments so you can have some stick control when you do finally get that set
I know the lyrics were a lot for you but you should check out Demolisher by Slaughter to Prevail. Not only is the music insane but the vocals on the breakdown will make you doubletake
Forget the hands... his foot work is perfection.
ikr gotta be goin through shoes like crazy with them kicks
His kit is triggered and hits are quantized. It doesn't sound like the video audio in real life. He's just barely hitting the drum.
As perfect as midi can be 🤣
Y’all STUPID. Damn it’s audio over VIDEO those kicks aren’t REAL
@@mrb3888 kicks are real, audio is real. Most of the hits are quantised since you simply cannot play 32nd notes at 280bpm cleanly like that
4:54 his ONE HANDED blasting is astounding!
Its called gravity blast
Aye, gravity blast.
Yeah they already said it. Thats a gravity blast but i really like what he was doing in the same time he was blasting
I love how you went from, "I'm tired, this is gunna give me a headache i know it", to "this man is a machine, he is a robot", to "i need a drum kit" in one song 😂❤ IA be like that don't they haha
🤣🤣🤣🤣 so many emotions it this one vid

I can't wait to see this man taking us on a journey, to becoming a boss-teir drummer! Hell...alot of us would check in to see that LOL.
This is actually him playing. He is using triggers to make the sound of each hit consistent, but he can in fact play this. He had a Q/A with his bandmates before their new album dropped and he answered alot of looming questions.
It’s been tightened up in pro tools. Those kicks are copy paste on the grid
Aaron can't really play this. He does write killer drum parts tho!
@@mayonice3577 he played it live once, and if you count that people get better over time than he can in fact play the new album if practiced
@@wempigedits yeh he played it live.. And it fucking sucked lol :D
Even if the kit is triggered, The speed of those kick pedals is still absolutely fucking insane.
As a thrash metal junkie, I don't really get into this type of metal. However, and it is a big however, I cannot deny that I have tons of respect for the musicianship......especially the drummers, as I am a drummer.
When you don't listen to heavy music, bands like this will seem absolutely crazy.
I love seeing people when it gets to the groove section. It could be a 90 year old grandma and she’d be bopping her head. 😂

I had to pull the voice from deep lol

I fucking love this MFER JONES' reaction to this!! I love this band.
Lorna shore - immortal
George Kollias and Flo Mounier are great references for technical metal drumming.
You should react to bodycount youll be surprise knowing whos the lead
Or biohazard-how it is;)
You have a link?
@@mfkerjones ua-cam.com/video/hlk7o5T56iw/v-deo.html
This song, by Body Count, is relevant to today. Wait until you hear what they have to say.
like a magician. floored by his foot work , then that one handed snare roll faster then 87% of drummers using 2 hands.lol
I don't know of any of the best drummers able to do gravity blasts that fast.
Dang. That gravity blast goes H A M. Got yourself a subscriber right here.
This drummers " dealer" is good! Real good!!
You want to see perfection. Danny Carey drum cam. Makes this guy look like a beginner
Sweet!
I remember listening to Slayer live on UK radio (Monster of Rock gig) and just before they went on stage a radio commentator said "to play like this" (in relation to Slayer about to take the stage) you need to be "as precise as a fighter pilot and fit as an athlete" - i think that statement from around early 90s applies to this drummer - and every drummer who use high energy.

You say that, but Aaron is really chubby now. lol
“There's is no (no way) in my dictionary”

Playing so fast that smoke comming out his mouth.
Once you nail a crazy song on the drums, you will be addicted to doing drum covers for sure. It would be cool to see your progress on the kit bro! Hope you get a kit man!
He is a professional, doing it for a long time! Practice makes perfect

Its actually pretty funny hearing them yell. But i got you on checking that group out
The human squid 🐙
This is the best 🥁 playing I've ever heard.
5:05 *laughs in deathcore*
3:55 electronic kits can be annoying to setup but it'll save you alot of noise complaints. My Yamaha X450 was a great starter, but you'd want a way bigger kit for this type of stuff.
The gravity blast though
more like gravity bomb!
That one he did that sounded like gun shots was called a galaxy blast
Gravity blast👍
The awesome thing is if you enjoy the music (but not the vocals) they released an instrumental only version of the album.
"theres no way youre playing this fast....." .....welcome to metal........oh and if you want a really great drum play through you should try looking up Signs of the Swarm - Cowards Deathbed drum play through
I thought Joey Jordisen was sic. This guy is on a different level. 🤘🤘🤘
Check out Eloy Casa grande of Sepultura he is badass as well.
Joey Jordison lol he is on the bottom of the pile
@@colclumper a lot of drummers are better than joey , that doesn't mean he's not good
Yes, he IS that fast, seen him playing in many videos. The guy is an frickin' alien...xD
That was an awesome reaction appreciate you going in with an open mind...try the band Slaughter to Prevail song Demolisher or Zvali Ebogo drums only

Yup he plays fast 🤘🏿
