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
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
When I played drums , I played with mine backwards, but I’m so old I started doing it because I found out Dave Grohl while he was in Nirvana played with his sticks backwards lol
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.
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
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.
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
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 !
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
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!
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.
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!
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.
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)?
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.🤘🏻😁
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.
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
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
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 ^^
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.
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 )
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
My favorite drum playthrough: ua-cam.com/video/c_1RZcM3zso/v-deo.html Also, not a drum playthrough but check this shit out if you haven't: ua-cam.com/video/urU5JS4Eb-k/v-deo.html
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.
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! :)
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
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
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
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
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!

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.
Its because his kit is triggered to hell. Not that he isn't playing it but with the heavy triggers he can play super soft to get speed. Like Sam Paulicelli. Super talented but the triggers help a ton.
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.
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 👍🏻
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
It is a heel toe, when you drop your heel down and push with the ball of your foot, the spring lifts it back up. Practice and time this perfectly and you can turn it into a drum roll or like pedaling a bike on the flat, once you get started it almost does it on its own.
TankTheTech haha! I don’t know drums at all actually, my buddy plays and explained it to me a couple years ago when I asked how he got so fast. He said he switched his technique and this was it!
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.
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!
I play kinda like him as far as double peddle. Slower tempo double peddle i use my toes. Faster tempo i slide my feet back and forth on the pedals using primarily the ball of my foot
Uhhh his kit is triggered to hell. Not that he isn't playing it but with the heavy triggers he can play super soft to get speed. Like Sam Paulicelli. Super talented but the triggers help a ton
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.

@@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
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.
Yeah Evgeny has a pretty amazing grasp of heel/toe and swivel techniques. Great groove too
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

Yeah but heel toe is a lot faster than swivel.
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!
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 !
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
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.
Oh, havent heard celldwellers Switch Back for a long time :3 loved the intro!
Hes doing a heel toe technique much like a snare roll. His feet are playing LLRRLLRRLLRR during those long runs.
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!
This guy is an absolute god when it comes to heel toe. Speed and accuracy is insane. Love this guy

Vinnie Paul held his sticks the same way. He knurled the tip ends for better grip. R.I.P Vinnie!!!
Sweet! you used celldweller as an intro. 🤘🏻
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...

5:32 I had the same experience. Started picking up his cymbals more listening to the full track after this video.
This is so badass. Makes me love the song even more. Even more hyped for the new album. 🤘🤘

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
Check out his previous band Ketalepsy, always insane drums
The killing human machine pure skills and talent🤘🤘
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.
Yes he's really doing that...Its just Insane
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.

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
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
He's the heel-toe GOAT
He uses heel toe mixed with a very slight swivel technique and a direct drive pedal to help with the high bpm
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
He uses drum triggers so it looks flawless

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.
Got my sub right after I saw the flyers on the wall behind you haha
Nice video man
Thanks man!
Vinnie Paul used giant marching band style drum sticks. I think he used the butt end too.
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
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.
Really solid heel toe / trigger setup man. Alot metal dudes are developing wild techniques.
Its because his kit is triggered to hell. Not that he isn't playing it but with the heavy triggers he can play super soft to get speed. Like Sam Paulicelli. Super talented but the triggers help a ton.

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.

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!
Thank you for pointing out he looks just like GG Allin.
Now I can't unsee it. Great.
Hahahahaha
Daaamn Celldweller in the background ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😍😍😍😍
🤘🤘🤘
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.
The fact my brain still hears alex' vocals😂 evgeny is a beast🔥🤘🖤
FEAR FACTORY OUTROOOO ❤
I play kinda like him as far as double peddle. Slower tempo double peddle i use my toes. Faster tempo i slide my feet back and forth on the pedals using primarily the ball of my foot
Subscribed as soon as I heard Celldweller
YES!
It's bad ass heal toe. I looked all around he doesnt use triggers or any magic. Hes just insane.
Uhhh his kit is triggered to hell. Not that he isn't playing it but with the heavy triggers he can play super soft to get speed. Like Sam Paulicelli. Super talented but the triggers help a ton
Triggers to the max
@@ryanglindmyer6139 Exactly.
he's using a mix of heel-toe and swivel technique
