@@chickenblaster the ones that knew of sean knew how good he was. Which is mostly old school death metal fans and musicians from the Florida death metal scene. He should be right up there with the all time greats. Man i really cant appreciate the new deathcore scene or anything watered down or copies. Is that a six and seven string strandberg in your profile pic?
skills, dedication, experience, talent, rhytm, musicianship and more.. he started at piano, he had it all. RIP sean reinert, my all-time favorite drummer.
Sean is one of the giants along side with Neal Peart, Bozzio, Portnoy and Palmer. He is foremost, one of my all time Influences with music in general and is greatly missed upon the metal community and inspired musicians. I'm happy to have met him as well as see them live, performing the "Focus" album in it's entirety. R.I.P. Sean.
R.I.P SEAN REINHERT YOU ARE AND STILL AN AMAZING DRUMMER YOU MIXED SO MANY DIFFERENT STYLES TO THE DEATH METAL DRUM STYLE YOU WILL ALWAYS BE MISSED PEACE OUT PARTY ON.
@@АндрейМоргунов-з2ь I know, what you think about Courante bass version? Even if just few seconds of music I really enjoy his tune. On my profile I play a really sincere and hble version of Arsis by Gordian Knot, its on a fretted 5 string bass, but i want to try it. Haha Sean Malone all day man.
Life is rarely that generous, you know that. ;) Who would have thought though, all those years ago, that the internet would come along and take us back in time to see all this. It's fucking brilliant.
AAAAAAnd there is Malone in all his infinite enthusiasm. I went to the local tape store every other day until this album was released. We had no way of knowing back then! Thanks for sharing!
Absolutely amazing! Sean your drumming is so artful and versatile. Been a devoted fan since I heard you first on Death's Human (truly groundbreaking), then came Cynic's Focus (my jaw dropped in awe when I first listened to it through headphones late at night and remained that way ever since), Aghora's self-titled, Gordian Knot, Cynic re-union albums, finally old Cynic demos which got widely available to listen to. Such a shame Cynic is no more. I truly hope you will sooner than later make a great music in a band or solo project and that the world will again witness your talent, skills and most importantly a vast musical depth that you've got inside you.

Growing up in the 80’s and 90’s here’s my top 6 most influential metal drummers (no particular order) for that period. To clarify, this means “during” that period, and does not include other drummers who made music in the 80’s and 90’s that I discovered later on. 1) Sean Reinert (Death/Cynic) 2) Tim “Herb” Alexander (Primus) 3) Gar Samuelson (Megadeth) 4) Danny Carey (Tool) 5) Gene Hoglan (Death) 6) Charlie Benante (Anthrax)
Cynic were miles ahead of their time. Ripping musicians. (I have to add, a friend played Death - Human to me so many years ago, that's where it all started for me. never looked back). If only Chuck was still here. I fucking love metal.
Back when you couldn't record an album in your bedroom, bands had to practice their asses off to get the take they needed in the studio. Especially if you didn't have a lot of money.
More than likely that was the case for the record because as someone already stated back around this time you couldn’t just get “punched in” if you made mistakes. Everything or at the very least each song had to be in one perfect take.
90s yo... When real musicianship and musicians showed and mattered.... Thanks to software and computers. Any kid with enough time can sound like Sean Reinhart
What a great piece of history and all of us watching this are so lucky it even exists.. given that prob not many people had access to a cam recorder back then.. What are the names of the people shown on the video?
Yeah, he will be missed. I remember you duds from Florida in 1988 or 89. I was not old enough to get into the bar to watch you guys play and every single one of you cats snuck me in to see the show. I sat behind Sean's drum set for the release off Focus which I still have. It was your debut show I think. Pretty cool man sorry about your guys's lost man I am a fan for 35 years. Myself and a cat named Dave death first nickname is name is Dave Patron. But I remember watching you guys rehearse in the warehouse man. You guys remember raped ape
I'm gonna be honest, when I first heard focus (the entire album) I thought the drums were entirely synthetic, I was like 13 and so was the album, tho. Still don't know if the drums are electric or acoustic but now I know they were played by a human (well, I've known for years now) and am even more impressed!!
The first time I heard this was on the “At Deaths Door II” album and there was no synthesized voice on that version (wish they hadn’t even used it for the album!). Anyway, I was blown away by how innovative it sounded at the time. As a drummer I was amazed at how much nuance Sean played with, just as I was with his playing drums on Death’s Human album but this was even less straight forward and more creative. Some of the patterns he’d come up with had so much groove and tasteful too.
wouldn't you just be sitting there going "this is absolutely fucking unbelievable!!!" The fact that they are calmly listening intently to minor details demonstrates how this band just operated on a different level to most bands. And compared with bands today?.........Hahahaha!!! (edit: just FYI my credentials. I have been listening to Cynic since 1993. As a 14 year old, it wasn't a "jury's out" decision on whether this music was cool. You had to be committed back then. I waited 15 years for their second album. Over the years I have turned multiple people onto this band who had NEVER heard of them. It wasn't always cool to like them, you know).
A true genius has left us, and far too soon. RIP, Sean...
I hope we all remember how unique his playing was!

RIP Sean. You're truly missed.
Both Seans. ☹️
truly!
1:28 such a beautiful rhythm. RIP Sean you are missed.
Going from a crazy technical drumming and then grooving so hard. I miss this dudes playing so much. Wish we had more.
Unbelievable to listen to this isolated. What a masterpiece.
Man jazz and metal what a combo... what a drummer rest in percussion sean
I still can’t believe that you’re gone... RIP, Sean... truly an innovator and incredible drummer & composer.
The best of the best, rythmn, soul and death metal.
skills, dedication, experience, talent, rhytm, musicianship and more.. he started at piano, he had it all. RIP sean reinert, my all-time favorite drummer.
RIP Sean
Your talent will live forever
This video with a good pair of headphones is fucking amazing to listen to
If 1 headphones is a pair, what do you call 2 headphones?
Listening to it now on a pair of Marshall Major II. Yep, confirmed!
I got a crappy set of headphones and it still sounds amazing 👍
@@craigroaring 2 pairs of headphones

R.I.P. Sean.
If I'm jealous of anybody I'm jealous of people who got to see cynic with Sean on drums.
alongside portnoy? come on. the list was ok but porntoy doesn't belong with these greats in a million years.
RIP... One of the greatest
Still impossible to believe both Seans have left us
Miss you already Sean and Sean. thank you for everything!!!!!!!
R.I.P SEAN REINHERT YOU ARE AND STILL AN AMAZING DRUMMER YOU MIXED SO MANY DIFFERENT STYLES TO THE DEATH METAL DRUM STYLE YOU WILL ALWAYS BE MISSED PEACE OUT PARTY ON.
Anyine realized that Malone in the back doesnt move at all. He is hypnotized by the drums.
He was thinking: shit, I'm so fuckin... Wait I can handle this.
And almost 30 years that bass it's pretty fucking sick!
#ILoveSeanMalone
@@ishmaelperez5618 Also, has anyone once heard Sean Malone's voice?)
@@АндрейМоргунов-з2ь no Way! Where I can listen to him?
@@ishmaelperez5618 Mate, i wonder too - there is no any interview or video on youtube where he speaks even a little
@@АндрейМоргунов-з2ь I know, what you think about Courante bass version? Even if just few seconds of music I really enjoy his tune. On my profile I play a really sincere and hble version of Arsis by Gordian Knot, its on a fretted 5 string bass, but i want to try it. Haha Sean Malone all day man.
The tones of his kit are to die for. I could listen to this all day. Impeccable musicianship.
Edit : Sorely missed master of his craft.
that drum sequence has been a part of my life since 1994..among MANY others..through Death and all Cynic albums...thanks Sean
History in the making. You guys were so far ahead of the curve...
so intelligent and technical drummer ..
I love that these dudes are like metal hippies. I feel a kinship to this way of life.
Awesome! Thanks for sharing Sean
Laying down the foundations of a legendary album.
Its so good to hear him, we gonna miss you buddy
Love every piece of material dropped from that era! Sean you're my unrivaled hero!
the greatest ever.
Well, this is a treasure.
HOLY SHIT!!!! hey Sean you should upload the Textures session....pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Life is rarely that generous, you know that. ;)
Who would have thought though, all those years ago, that the internet would come along and take us back in time to see all this. It's fucking brilliant.
I can’t believe there both gone. ❤️ Malone just standing there chilling. He was always a little different.
YESSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!! FUCKING SIIIIICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!! REST IN PEACE BELOVED SEANS...!!!
RIP to this legend
Historic moment. A+
Rest in peace Fella.
You played great, those beats will be remembered 👍
This song..... changed our world. Thank you forever Sean. You are the best .
my favorite death's album is human all because of you

Those drums couldn’t possibly sound any better!

Sean Reinert is the best drummer in the world..thats the truth!
Delightful musicianship, thanks for sharing Sean!
thank you so much for sharing with us...amazing music
AAAAAAnd there is Malone in all his infinite enthusiasm. I went to the local tape store every other day until this album was released. We had no way of knowing back then! Thanks for sharing!
You are incredible, Sean!
Feel like I went back in time, looking through a keyhole. Priceless.

A part of us is gone..
RIP Sean
One of my top drummers...
I can't believe you're gone 😭
Freaking amazing!
Are these drum parts from Focus all one take!?!?! :/ If so that's insane!!
Unbelievable, right ?
It could be, but I do not think so.. (mainly because I cannot think though)

What are the names of the people shown on the video?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think from left to right it's Paul Masvidal, Scott Burns, Sean Malone, Jason Gobel, and Sean Reinert.
justin kitzmiller i guess so. (Y)
@@hummerhomer the guy on the right to Scott doesn't really look like Jason
@@simaodocaminhao i think it's tony teegarden. jason was sitting next to sean so you can't see him
Rest in peace legend.
SCOTT BURNS!!!
What a beast!
Holy shit man! Thank you sir!
Awesome ..Especially now that can change the recordspeed.
This is amazing! Drums sound beautiful. This the take thats on the album? Sounds like it.

A few toms are electronic.
@@dbo0729 honestly those electric toms sounded pretty good on some parts

A monolithic sean malone
Malone stood there just processing everything.. not moving a muscle. RIP Sean²
Is this the version from At Deaths Door compilation?
Fuck yeah man!
Does anyone know what the legendary Focus snare drum actually was? It sounds like a 14x4 wood snare, possibly tama. Anyone know the actual model?
Morrisound snare verb
Woooww!
RIP Sean..
Lightning..... Now in bottles!
Precise double bass sound. All drum kit on reallity. No triggers tks... Today almost all drummers use this things and ruined the natural sound.🎖️
100% !!!
RIP.... The King Is Dead...
We miss you already. Gone too soon.
I challenge any drummer to play this note for note!
wouldn't you just be sitting there going "this is absolutely fucking unbelievable!!!" The fact that they are calmly listening intently to minor details demonstrates how this band just operated on a different level to most bands. And compared with bands today?.........Hahahaha!!!

Was Focus recorded at Morissound? It was always such a bac recording i figured it wasnt recorded at a "real" studio.
Impossible
One dislike? xD
