His insane speed double base kicks definitely IS a heel toe (technique). No magic in there or some "tech" behind it. Pure skill
Unreal skill. He might be the smoothest drummer in this genre I've ever soon. Love it!
Watch Francesco Paoli for a pretty crazy look at some effortless technique.
@@TankTheTech have you ever had a look at infant annihilator? If not, highly recommend them since their drummer is actually not human.
Definitely heel toe. Dude is just that insane it's so effortless.
TankTheTech please check John Longstrengh from Origin insane heel toe double bass
It's almost like he's dancing on the pedals. His feet are like water flowing.
What a great way to put it! So fluid.
SOMEONE FINALLY SAW THAT HE WAS HOLDING HIS DRUMSTICKS BACKWARDS. and yeah this dude is insane, need more drum playthroughs just to see what he is doing
I used to drum tech so stuff like that sticks out like a sore thumb to me. But I never saw it much, and I LOVE this guy's playing style.
The Vilyn yea I think he does it to help with his blast beats when he uses the push pull technique because the butt of the sticks are slightly heavier so it gives him a better fulcrum point to pull off the fast blast beats when he isn’t using gravity blasts
This dude has the smoothest heal toe technique I've seen.
It's unreal! I've gotta check out some other drummers that play like this to compare, but this is soooooo smooth.
@@TankTheTech check out Betto Cardoso from Project46, he's a Brazilian drummer and he's pretty awesome
@@TankTheTech James Cassels got heel-toe down to science, check this - ua-cam.com/video/LqFP7Qz7EI8/v-deo.html
Check out Tim Yeung from Vital Remains/ Divine Hersey
@@TankTheTech bro heel toe technique is legit thats the speed that you can achieve by using that techniquem
He's definitely doing the most effortless heel-toe you've ever seen and later he does an even more effortless swivel in the breakdown
I've been playing for about 25 years, and my (un)professional opinion is that this guy isn't using studio tricks with his kick techniques. He's just that much better than the rest of us. I'm also glad that someone noticed him turning his sticks around backwards. That was something that I used to do just starting out because I was a kid (and poor) and I couldn't afford to waltz into my local music store on a whim and stock up on 5Bs. Little did I know what it would end up costing me in heads. Lol
In any case, Evgeny Novikov is a fucking maniac behind a kit, and he deserves every bit of recognition he gets. His old band, Katalepsy, is also off the hook. Give them a listen if you ever get the chance.
Dude, mad respect for Celldweller in the bg. Been a fan of Klayton since Circle of Dust back in the 90's.
Also, this guy beats his drums like they kidnapped his family.
Klayton’s Celldweller works are still so fun to listen to! And yeah, I can’t imagine how much Evgeny goes through cymbals and heads.
@@TankTheTech Right, for being 50 years old the man still puts out unique music.
Kaotek Kowbell Caught him live around 2008-ish and the energy that him and his band had was absolutely unbelievable.
I was going to post this. Love Celldweller.
back in 2012 my band and i were practicing in a rehearsal complex, where Evgeny was working as an admin/host. every time i saw him - he was practicing. like 24/7 practice. i didnt ever see him without sticks in the hands. in 2012 he already was an absolute beast, he was playing in Katalepsy. remembered that, when you told that his double bass is effortless :D
It is heel toe. When you hear insane fast doubles it is this version of the heel toe
I never knew it was that common! Thanks man!
Some also swivel.....@adam bjork for example.... And the drummer of TBDM
@@TankTheTech ua-cam.com/video/sdIr89KlKqA/v-deo.html
@@KillerwhaleTRX true, look up Aborted - Cadaverous Banquet live video. His swivel is insanity
ua-cam.com/video/nwrIDsNIy8w/v-deo.html
He uses swivel technique with his right foot for slower linear fills . Evgeny is a beast ! He has a few double bass techniques I have only seen him use !
Yeah Evgeny has a pretty amazing grasp of heel/toe and swivel techniques. Great groove too
Hes doing a heel toe technique much like a snare roll. His feet are playing LLRRLLRRLLRR during those long runs.
when this came out, i set myself a five year deadline to nail this song on drums myself.
Needless to say I am not quite there yet. The fluidity behind his plays is insane. Still its THAT extreme skill and effortlessness that made me fall in love with it, and its why I set this specific song as my Benchmark. Was really inspiring to me.
You weren't kidding, that GG Allin reference went way the fuck over everyone's head. I dont know if the scene will ever get (or want) another GG...
Check out his previous band Ketalepsy, always insane drums
Oh, havent heard celldwellers Switch Back for a long time :3 loved the intro!
He is using heel toe and it is the smoothes ive ever seen to be honest. This man is a beast. I am subscribing because i love ur videos.
He's super smooth! Much appreciated, man!
Sweet! you used celldweller as an intro. 🤘🏻
Yes it’s heel-toe, alternated really well between his 2 feet. To attain those crazy speeds without destroying your legs the most common techniques I’ve seen are the Heel-toe, or the swivel method that someone like George Kollias uses. I’m sure there are others but they’re not as common
Yeah but heel toe is a lot faster than swivel.
He uses heel toe mixed with a very slight swivel technique and a direct drive pedal to help with the high bpm
He is using a very very clean heel/toe technique and at the break part in the end he's going insane with a mix of heel/toe an swivel technique.
Idk if you know or saw it already, but a couple days ago Evgeny dropped a Baba Yaga drum play through.
Evgeny is an absolute monster.
Celldweller intro took me back. Love your channel!
ohmygod fear factory at the end love it
🤘🤘🤘
Vinnie Paul held his sticks the same way. He knurled the tip ends for better grip. R.I.P Vinnie!!!
Ahhhhh! nice Fear Factory at the end of the video. Raymond Herrera was the first drummer I heard as a kid who did intricate double bass work and that got me into Meshuggah's Destroy Erase Improve because I needed MORE!
Bro he's tap dancing on those petals
ive seen a few vids from friends that have seen them in concert while touring the world and the way he drums looks like he is not hitting the instruments that hard its absurd how well and effortlessly he makes it look
Hell yeah. Loved hearing Celldweller in the intro
Yeah! LET'S GO!!!
This is so badass. Makes me love the song even more. Even more hyped for the new album. 🤘🤘
hey Tank, I’ve been making way through older vids. let me just say…
1) LOOK HOW SHORT THE BEARD IS!! lmao
2) yes, looked a bit like GG, made me lol
3) his heel/toe is crazy. first person I saw with that technique was Chris Adler
(original Lamb of God)
lastly, as a wannabe part time (non practiced) drummer and background film/content maker and editor myself…some parts of this look sped up to me. the ease and flow looks so quick and smooth to my eye.
but hey, that’s just my 2¢…which are not worth much as is. lol
It's so funny you said something about that lead, the second I heard it... I was like, ohh that's new
Yes! Glad someone else heard it!
@@TankTheTech it stands out like a boner in sweatpants if you know the song......
That guitar lead is in the official track too, but it's kinda inaudible. 🤘🏻😁
Evgeny's using heel- toe technique. Drummer in making here. Plz check out Agony if you haven't.🤘🏻😁
I've seen a video from a band Katalepsy that Evgeny used to play for, if you look at him, he's playing with aggression, with his arms at least lol
he has mounted triggers (single strike), but he has turned the heel toe into an arch toe. its honestly harder to play with mounted triggers, because you have to be perfect.
Love your videos man! Love the Gear breakdowns and facts you've added! You should check out the band Novelists from France, with the song Antares! Great production value and amazing guitars. Keep it up My man!
Really solid heel toe / trigger setup man. Alot metal dudes are developing wild techniques.
He's got a store where you can buy them but he only has 1 guy that makes them and id say the wait list is outrageous
Also... Vinnie Paul held his sticks this way as well.... they were carved for grip.
U think the "hidden lead" is actually present in the final mix, but it's covered by Alex's vocals. He doesn't shut up even for a split second during that part
It's a trigger. He is really playing that speed, however the trigger allows the low effort kicks to sound louder.
Yes! Was going to point that out, but figured I'd see if anyone else noticed. Also it was/is heal to toe technique being used being used.
its absurd to not use triggers in metal at that speed(impossible to get smooth and even sound), saw his interview the guy said he is using heal toe technique for 7+ years or so.
Would love to see you react to Tom Barber (from Chelsea Grin)’s new band Darko!
Their studio performance of Insects is freaking wild!
Would say that most pro players use triggers, with a mic in / at the bass drum, just for pure mixing. - mic at bass drum for the sound stage, and the tricker to make it "pop". Another part might be the pedal. "Trick" pedals with heavy boards and really stiff spring with a direct link, makes you able to convert a lot of small movement to a way higher output on the drum.
Nice, using Celldweller as the background music.
It’s not magic or a trick pedal it’s practice dedication and love for his craft that’s what goats are made of
Is like a double stroke, that guy is a beast!
Great video man, looking up to watch more of your videos
Thank, you man! Looking forward to putting out some more! Been wanting to do this for a while and now with all this down time I’ve got no reason not to!
Got my sub right after I saw the flyers on the wall behind you haha
Nice video man
Thanks man!
Definitely him playing that. When I do speed stuff like that, I do some heel-toe and I also swing my legs sometimes for a little extra speed. Does like a little roll in the middle of the double bass. And you can buy those masks on Etsy.
I play with that same technique and it’s so effing effortless
He uses drum triggers so it looks flawless
Now that you got Evgeny, now it's time for Thomas Haake's video of bleed. (Probably heard that song thousands of time but it never gets old watching that man play. Lol )
I’ve seen so many of his drum videos. Love him and Meshuggah both.

5:32 I had the same experience. Started picking up his cymbals more listening to the full track after this video.
Is that Celldweller I hear in your intro?! Hell yeah! I've been listening to his stuff since his Argyle Park/Klank/Circle of Dust days. Love all your reactions btw! Really glad I stumbled upon your channel. I know it's a bit late, but maybe some Silent Planet - Trilogy ?? Again, great videos, bro.
YES! Good ear! Love all of Klayton's work, especially Celldweller. I've never listened to Silent Planet so I'll add it to the list!
He is doing the heal-toe tech but there is also an old drum system from 2015 to help you improve your foot control and it was called "Ballistic Drumming" made by Joe Stronsick i played drums from 1997-2009
His heel toe technique is absolutely ridiculous it's like a roll lots of practice to do it that effortlessly the first time I actually heard him drum I actually thought it was a double kick single paddle too I was very surprised that he actually manually did this with two kicks he's definitely a beast
Possibly may have been suggested already... Infant Annihilator - Cuntcrusher (drum playthrough)... Demolisher immediately reminded me of that one.
May get to that one as well! Thanks man!
Vinnie Paul used giant marching band style drum sticks. I think he used the butt end too.
Beautiful technique! Yes, Tank. Heel-toe, as some others have mentioned is pretty much industry standard these days. It is generally played on long board foot pedals (as seen here). It is basically the same concept as double stroke hand technique. This allows the heel to initiate the first strike of the beater and the toe deflects the rebound back to the head once more. This guy may be one of the smoothest I have heard. The nice thing is his dynamic control with his feet. The difference between good and great is a drummer who does not automatically crescendo (get louder) when they speed up. Or, for example, their single stroke footwork is always louder than their doubles (heel/toe). The other thing to notice is good posture on the stool, and he keeps his shoulders out of his playing. This leads to efficiency and stamina! This guy has it all. :) He better. It's pretty hard to breath in a mask (Just ask Jay Weinberg . . lol), so his playing better be minimal effort from great technique. :) Thanks and Keep up the interesting videos!
PS. Looked quickly for background or bio for you . . .what bands have you toured with and or teched for (besides FNM)?
You should check out the drum playthrough of chronic slaughter from slaughter to prevail too dude
The upside down sticks give you more weight to strike with, when doing gravity blast it gives you more control and more "bounce". I play upside down sticks 90% of the time.
it's like a modified heel toe, shorter pedals it's kinda more of a walk if that makes sense, or like a hollow heel. probably also the height of his thrown, perfect positioning so he's not straining himself.
Your reactions are georgius and honest. Your were already subscribed, so the opportunity is there ^^....I love your fundated, but not too technically comments. Greetz from Germany
Even a metal singer kan understand what you mean :p
Check out a video from STP's US tour, this song was called Rasputin and it contains the guitar solo you've mentioned. Nice reaction btw. Cheers from Moscow!
Thanks a ton! Cheers!
Alex Grind of Despised Icon is one of my favorite deathcore drummers. Lots of drum cam videos of him playing. Check him out sometime!
Yeah, dude is an absolute beast! I'll check those out!
I know he plays his sticks the same way or used to. He also used marching band sticks which are thick as hell
Heel-toe it is. It is a bass drum technique that the great Steve Gadd was first credited using. He was a tap dancer and in tap dancing the heel-toe method is one of the most common steps you learn.
Never heard the term "gravity blast" before when describing the single stroke roll w/one hand. Ian Paice used the one handed double-stroke rolls during his drum solos as well as the late great Buddy Rich, Louie Bellson and Steve Smith (to name a few). Play smarter, not harder! :)
Most drummers use heel toe or swivel techniques. But his posture is the most important part of the sense of ease he plays with. Great posture
The killing human machine pure skills and talent🤘🤘
Agony, Hell and Chronic Slaughter are the next 3 u need to hear from Slaughter to Prevail. I have never been a fan of deathcore but for me this band is perfect the more i listen to them the more I love them. New subscriber btw I am liking the reactions I have seen so far which is just Hypa Hypa and this one
Thanks a ton! Yeah, Slaughter is reviving deathhcore for me. Agony is one I’ve heard a ton of. I’ve heard the song but I’ve never watched the video. Would the video still be worth doing a reaction to?
Probably not its a cool video but nothing groundbreaking or reactionworthy. Unless u do a review of the song and breakdown the lyrics or instrumentals or something like that there won't be much to go on also have u seen any of Alex Terrible 's (Slaughter to Prevail's vocalist) covers if not u should check out his Chandelier - Sia cover or the Bad Guy - Billie Eillish cover
This is the only video I’ve seen of yours (great stuff btw.) but if you haven’t check out Chris Turner of Oceans Ate Alaska you definitely should. I see a lot of comments about heel toe, but Chris uses his hips and thigh muscles to generate speed and power in his double kicks. Also his personal style and musicianship on the drum set is just fun to watch.
Gotta check out The Hopewell Furnace - Coffin Notice Pt. 2
Incredible drumming
That guitar is 100% in the Final Cut, however it is really hard to pick up unless you’re listening with headphones 👌🏼
That intro song bringing me straight back to PS2 racing games. I swear it was in NFS most wanted. And other games
Ha! Not sure if it was ever in Need For Speed, but I loved Celldweller back in those days and really wanted to use it.
I have an other band and drummer for your reactions.
Devine Heresy ‚bleed the fifth‘ or jam session (playthrough) for this song.
Slaughter to prevail is one of my favorite bands.
Yup just practice and a lot of burning shins at first...his pedals also help he has that foreign named pedal thats like axis and trick pedal that's really helps his speed
Yes he's really doing that...Its just Insane
Definitely heel toe, like everyone else has said. Honestly reminds me a lot of James Cassel, from Asking Alexandria’s, heel toe. Both very effortless and smooth.
the drum playthrough for hell is insane too
Gotta check it out!
I know you've had several comments on his pedal technique but I'm gonna comment anyway, it seems like it is a double stoke heel toe technique most likely using hight tension with a heavy beater so it is a fairly hard technique to get to this level but his pedal seems to be doing most of the work. It's insane none the less and it was a great reaction. Keep it up 👍🏻
Thanks for getting detailed with that response, man! Much appreciated!
FEAR FACTORY OUTROOOO ❤
Subscribed as soon as I heard Celldweller
YES!
Celldweller playing in the intro. Nice touch
Hell yeah!
Vinnie Paul used the same technique from early 80s
They also have a merch store you can buy their masks from as well
I really like his use of splashes and bells as accents, not just tge metal drums by numbers, you know, blasts for days, lol
Totally. He incorporates a ton of stuff up too and I like that a lot.
That’s most def the guys sick ass heal toe technique but his bass drum is triggered. You get the big sound without having to produce the power to get it. These guys are sick AF.
Yeah, that's just double strokes (heel-toe technique) for the insanely fast double kick. If you want to see another awesome version of this song check out 66Samus' cover of it. You can see the same double stroke technique
It’s the most impecable and efortless heel toe tecnique i’ve ever seem, flawless like the former drummer of Polyphia in the single “Transcend”
Actually Heel Toe is the wrong word or technique to describe his foot work... He mainly uses a technique called Rocking motion which for example JoJo Mayer does extremely well.
I think he mixed these two Techniques in a way that works for him cause you never really see his heels actually playing the Pedal.
Gotta love a GG shout out. 😁
YEAH! Glad someone else got it. Haha
@@TankTheTech cant believe no one else mentioned it!
(Its me from twitter earlier btw! 🤣)
Oh yeah! Thanks man!
Double strokes on the kicks. That takes a while to perfect. Alex Grind from Despised Icon does it, Austin Archey from Lorna Shore. Double stroke kicks is something I was never able to perfect. That shit is hard as fuck.
Double kicks are a double stroke heel/toe technique.
It's heel-toe technique, fantastic obviously, but they are triggered, so he doesn't have to actually hit them hard at all for a good sound to come out. This is impossible without triggers, but that doesn't take anything away from this at all. There are people out there that are anti-trigger or whatever, it's dumb. What's the end of that kind of reductive thinking? Whacking a couple of rocks together?
My former drummer used to use this technique aswell. He had to put more effort in, but he reached same speed levels as this guy, but we didn't trigger it. Sounded great anyways ^^
Yea this guy is a monster. His heel toe double base is nutsssssss. Thats why it looks effortless. Heel toe is supreme, if you can manage to do it.
Is that celldweller/switchback in your intro? ...nice.
Yup!
Thank you for pointing out he looks just like GG Allin.
Now I can't unsee it. Great.
Hahahahaha
he's using a mix of heel-toe and swivel technique
you can get there masks on the maskshop of them. its linked in the orig. video
