The epitome of human accomplishment is to get so good at something that literally no one can ever consider it mediocre. And this right here has blown past that goal.
This is such a well thought out piece executed so flawlessly. I mean... wow. This guy's stick heights are above his head loll. Don't see much technique like this in heavy music anymore
If you dig that footwork. You should check out Thomas Lang or Benny Grebs footwork. Thomas used like 9 pedals in some of his old solos. And Benny did a very similar duel hi hat pattern to the one we see in the intro Tom beat.
A+++. Unbelievable playing, perfect tuning. Everything is amazing. Don't get any better. Your drumming and musicianship is impeccable!! Who tf could give this a thumbs down!!? Even if your not a metal fan, you can't say this isnt good!! Has to be people that have never heard music before. Wtf.
No one compares to him. In every way his drum parts are perfect and they hold emotion in the music unlike any other drums I’ve heard. Neo, black lava, and vipassi all are unbelievably unique bands and a lot of it is because of Dan and how interesting his drumming is.
Thats some insane quality videography for a drum cover! Love your work dude, you have seriously the smoothest possible double kick technique I've ever seen for hitting those 220+ tempos. Cannot wait for the next NeO tour in Aus :)
Thanks for your work, Dan. I keep coming back to this video along the years because it's one of the best things I have seen and heard in my entire life. You and Moffett are probably my favorite drummers. He's got the tempo and you got the poetry
How had I never heard of this band??? I just LOVE it. As a long time DT fan, I love progressive music which blends all styles but remains focused on progressing from soft to ballsy stuff. This is one step further in terms of extreme metal, but at the same time you guys keep it super clean, the compositions never seem too clogged like is often the case. The virtuosity is kept where it should be, too, in subtle touches. I could basically copy/paste this comment on every single one of your videos. Absolute instant fan here.
The control you have over your limbs for different sections of the song is incredible! Especially that part at 7:30 where you have the hi-hat playing quarter notes underneath the kick and your hands. Makes my head hurt just watching! I can't watch it enough times
It's amazing how Dan can put the right notes at the perfect moment!!! Most drummers I watch don't get so creative and clean at the same time. Fantastic.
I love the kit setup. I’ve always dreamed of being surrounded by cymbals, but more importantly, your placement and layout goes to show: you’ve gotta make your kit fit your personal preference and play style.
I'm totally captivated....You are a INSANE DRUMMER ~ your talent is out of this galaxy. Thank you for your talent🤘🖤🤘 I have been non-stop listening to Ne Obliviscaris for 5 days AMAZING❤
I come to this video every so often just to admire the incredible composition and execution of this song. It is just plain sublime, and what a monster of an album Portal of I is. Congratulations
Good lord dude 😲😲Super impressive consistency and endurance, not to mention bomb-ass (swing?) grooves over those blasts. You've obviously put in some _work._ Reminiscent of Martin Lopez/early Opeth, and I mean that in the best way possible.
The Art of Drumming. You've got it all and above that you know how to read a song. You are definately Champions League. Since Quo Vadis, 1995/2004 with Yanick Bercier broke up you filled the gap and have become the King of Thrones.
Learned of NeO a little over a month ago and was instantly intrigued. Was lucky enough to see you guys in Portland last night.... WOW!! What an amazing night!! Definitely a favorite band now to me. KILLER chops here. Thanx for posting!! See ya next time you're in town here!! \,,/
Dan sir you replied to my comment on one of your videos. I took a screenshot and used it as my whatsapp DP. I unsubscribed to all the UA-cam channels around two months ago for the notifs mails I get but didn't unsubscribe to your channel. And won't ever. I hit the like before I see your video.
That double ride and hats blast beats on like a shuffle groove!!! 🙌 Awesome playing and awesome composition to be able to make all those separate grooves work 🤘🤘
Nympo It would be a Drumtastic gig. I uses to hang out with two of them (Here comes...) while time ago. Such Cool guys. I recorded an EP with my band at that time in the studio of the lead guitarist.
A real masterpiece of a song. The ONLY small gripe I have is with the crash cymbals, they are way too bright and front loaded for “riding” on in my humble opinion. You need something with more wash and darker tones. But, you do you my dude. With love from Texas.
I love your set up it's perfect and for a medium size set up you make it sound like Aquiles priester's big ass kit,your a great player I hope to reach your level some day
Still mad I missed the show with Allegaeon in California last year... Maybe next time. Anyhue, excellent playthrough as always. The amount of talent coming out of Australia and Canada for the past ~ 4 years has been crazy.
The epitome of human accomplishment is to get so good at something that literally no one can ever consider it mediocre. And this right here has blown past that goal.
Din't skip leg day
This is such a well thought out piece executed so flawlessly. I mean... wow. This guy's stick heights are above his head loll. Don't see much technique like this in heavy music anymore
stick height to the roof mate!
Mike Terrana - What a legend
Incredible! And those toms sound like thunder!
This is insane! I've practiced 3 hours every day with a metronome on my double pedal since discovering Ne Obliviscaris. Thanks!
8:16 the regular 4/4 beat mixed with blastbeat is just epic. Super creative and sounds great.
Is a 12/8 blast beat, the left hand on the snare and the pattern of the right hand is making a pattern of 12/8 with triplets.
Already a minute into the video and I'm extremely intrigued by your footwork!
Edit: And just everything you did in this video basically
If you dig that footwork. You should check out Thomas Lang or Benny Grebs footwork.
Thomas used like 9 pedals in some of his old solos.
And Benny did a very similar duel hi hat pattern to the one we see in the intro Tom beat.
When you think you are good at the drums, just look a cover from this guy and see him use about 15 drum tricks you didn't even know existed
Nailing those 32nd notes! Just unreal.
I think I have seen this video at least 100 times, still amazes me how a song as complex as this looks so simple to Dan.
A+++.
Unbelievable playing, perfect tuning. Everything is amazing.
Don't get any better.
Your drumming and musicianship is impeccable!!
Who tf could give this a thumbs down!!?
Even if your not a metal fan, you can't say this isnt good!!
Has to be people that have never heard music before. Wtf.
sybreeder gn thank you!
@@DanPresland
Come to michigan please😏😕
I like everything about the band I love the drumming I love the singing
No one compares to him. In every way his drum parts are perfect and they hold emotion in the music unlike any other drums I’ve heard. Neo, black lava, and vipassi all are unbelievably unique bands and a lot of it is because of Dan and how interesting his drumming is.
Creative, tasteful and brutal. You're like a Gene Hoglan / Gavin Harrison hybrid. Really impressive.
Thats some insane quality videography for a drum cover! Love your work dude, you have seriously the smoothest possible double kick technique I've ever seen for hitting those 220+ tempos. Cannot wait for the next NeO tour in Aus :)
It's a playthrough, not a cover. This is his own song, haha! Just busting your balls.
Thanks for your work, Dan. I keep coming back to this video along the years because it's one of the best things I have seen and heard in my entire life. You and Moffett are probably my favorite drummers. He's got the tempo and you got the poetry
heyyy thanks, appreciate the kind words!

your tattoo looks amazing! who did your work!? wonderful video as always!
@arnlyonstattoo on ig
thank you
Great tattoo indeed.

The sound of these toms is just a pleasure to my ears. Great work on the drumming!

Such a bummer that you left the band, this is absolutely fantastic. Can't wait to hear you one last time on Exul next year!
Very nice master! Greetings from Mexico City. \,,/
Wow!!!! Dan sir you are my inspiration and my coach. I will live with an aim to see you in real one day. I am from India.
The levels of creativity in this guy are just insane. We are talking about a guided tour on metal drumming, every fucking song.
I'm totally captivated....You are a INSANE DRUMMER ~ your talent is out of this galaxy. Thank you for your talent🤘🖤🤘

Man your tattoos pop in this video. Love em! And love the drumming 🤤 so damn good.
Good lord dude 😲😲Super impressive consistency and endurance, not to mention bomb-ass (swing?) grooves over those blasts. You've obviously put in some _work._ Reminiscent of Martin Lopez/early Opeth, and I mean that in the best way possible.
Great sound. This is the kind of thing I could watch all day.
This is the most awesome use of double hihats I've ever seen. I have found a strong new contender for my favorite metal drummer.
So creative. Hard to fathom the ridiculous complexity of this piece of music. Our Danny Boy makes it look easy.
Super clean and super musical 👏🏻👏🏻
Damn!!! This is just great!! I'm a guitar player but I had to watch all of it!
He is an incredible drummer fantastic clean chops.i m a drummer and find myself watching guitar videos especially john petrucci and Marty Friedman.
Beautiful snare, you guys rock. Love those K Custom Dark Hats!
Omg love this so much,thanks for uploading kind sir.
This reminds me of how it would look like if I were to play the things I sometimes write down with Superior Drummer. :D
Best drum video out there absolute beast

Realeyesrealizereallies haha, i’m honoured you think that. but i’ve a long way to go before i’m in that regard
@@DanPresland Honestly, you're pretty damn close. It's great that you are being modest.
Amazing, dude. I love this song and your work.
New favorite drummer
No wonder your Axis pedals gave way mid tour, lol. You're a machine Dan \m/
Welcome back Dan!
Instant fan.. Diggin' your style, precision and music.
i was convinced that "Dance of eternity" is the most complex song....... then i met this Video.
Sick man!!!! Speechless at the accuracy of your playing..
Commenting to later download more of this bands/drummers amazing music
Learned of NeO a little over a month ago and was instantly intrigued. Was lucky enough to see you guys in Portland last night.... WOW!! What an amazing night!! Definitely a favorite band now to me. KILLER chops here. Thanx for posting!! See ya next time you're in town here!! \,,/
Dan is the Man! Wicked setup too
Level of coordination you have is bonkers

haha thank you man, I'm stoked you enjoy what I do
Dan Presland Dan sir you are God to me and I am so glad I am able toy connect with you.
I bought a Ne O shirt because you impressed me at your Show in Calgary a couple years back. Damn impressed.
Ur left arm seems different from previous videos. 😂
Universal blessings 🥁🔥✨🌟
Watching you play is a joy, even more so as you switch between tempos - Switching hands for blast beats (back and forth) is impressive.
Achievement unlocked, 12/8 blast. 8:16
I love how this drummer is addicted to 12/8
wow this was amazing, super tight.
Dude this is Brilliant
Thanks a lot for this video. Superb execution, and the quality of sound and video is amazing!
One of my favourite songs of all time.
SO GOOD!
This is probably the best metal track I've ever listen to and you sir are nailing it; and you're making it look so easy like breathing. Chapeau!
That was absolutely excellent mate. Great stuff :)
Greetings from Greece! Amazing work my friend! Impeccable!!!
And this ladies and gentlemen is how you get a new subscriber! A single word : Amazing
Rudy Matos thanks for tuning in man!

Tat looks fuckin sick dude. Amazing drumming too!
That double ride and hats blast beats on like a shuffle groove!!! 🙌 Awesome playing and awesome composition to be able to make all those separate grooves work 🤘🤘
Please make a play through of Eyrie :-D
Yes please
Just released it yesterday (6-6-19)
Oh man, I love your drumming, and it seems that in this video you're happier than in the other playthroughs :) Amazing buddy!
:D thanks as always my friend!

That blast beat gets me every time.
Great stuff Dan as usual. Pedals working flawlessly. Sleeve looks badass.
thanks dude!
Outstanding~!!! Singles on snare stunning!
Precisão absurda! Ótimo trabalho.
Amazing as always Dan. Waiting to see you guys in México on septembrer 6th \m/
Imagine a tour featuring Aborted, Rivers Of Nihil and these guys woo-wee :D
and maybe Here Comes The Kraken, cuz they are my fav Mexican band.
Nympo It would be a Drumtastic gig. I uses to hang out with two of them (Here comes...) while time ago. Such Cool guys. I recorded an EP with my band at that time in the studio of the lead guitarist.
JULIAN VEGEDGE I see you there, mate!!
A real masterpiece of a song.
The ONLY small gripe I have is with the crash cymbals, they are way too bright and front loaded for “riding” on in my humble opinion. You need something with more wash and darker tones.
But, you do you my dude.
With love from Texas.
Agreed
Awesome video man. Love it whenever you put up something new. Keep doing you and play good music.
\m/
My AM at work wasnt overlly impressed by this lol his musics tastes are fine but he is blinded by them to not even admit this was amazing af
This is awesome!!!
This is mental !!! Wow
This is just utter perfection and sooo fsr beyond my skill....
Practice and you'll get there. If you doubt it, check Dan's channel and watch his old progression videos, and from how far he came.
Fuckin' brilliant. You're my favorite drummer right now.
Sick! Subscribed.
I love your set up it's perfect and for a medium size set up you make it sound like Aquiles priester's big ass kit,your a great player I hope to reach your level some day
I really really love the deep sound of that floortom....
Killer drummer
I like your drum sound amazing
This video is criminally underrated. only 150k played? come on
Still mad I missed the show with Allegaeon in California last year... Maybe next time. Anyhue, excellent playthrough as always. The amount of talent coming out of Australia and Canada for the past ~ 4 years has been crazy.
we will be back in Sep/Oct
Dan Presland Yay!
Holy shit man, i love you #nohomo #maybealittle such nice work!
jfpbman 😂 thanks
Czarcie kopyto in polish means Devil's Hoof and it's pretty accurate
We don’t care mate
@@vagrant0693 speak for yourself buddy
Actually that's interesting. Thanks for sharing.
Merry me. Fantastic job.
Sara Palma haha. thanks
You're probably the most devoted NeO fan.. see your profile pic many times
I think we need to add extreme drumming to the Olympics. It's definitely as hard as any other sport. Great Groovy blasts.
Great track, great drum part, great playing!
My favorite second of this drum part is 7:58 :)
totally! was just thinking the same thing when I saw it. That double tom hit...awesome.
Fucking can't wait to see you guy's again. Gothic theater Denver Colorado 2018
That snare sounds amazing.
Best thing i saw today!
those toms sound SICK!
dat Masterworks!
have to check out your band, sounds great !
That’s insane! 👏👏👏👏
This is so fucking elegant. Love this band so much
Insane song!!!! But the best part is the section starting at around 7:46.... holy guacamole is that great!
This is eye candy on many levels.
