This man’s playing is eclipsed by his heart. Not asking for money directly to him, but if you got the disc or video on the internet for free, to donate what it’s worth to you to a charity. That speaks volumes of his character.
I've always heard about Gene, not realy familiar with him. That is the thing that stood out to me about him, he seems like a real good dude, prob one of the nicest guys around.
@@petarpavasovic6333yeah and the pedal thing is a myth too. i’m a good drummer but my mate james plays in decapitated and he wears vans and plays iron cobras at silly high speeds so
Gene NEVER gets the respect he deserves. Anytime there’s a “greatest drummers” list put out by anyone, he is rarely ever mentioned. CRIMINALLY underrated and under appreciated 🤘🏻😈🤘🏻
@@kimhoffmannandersen5477 Fair point; most of the time, those “top drummer” lists aren’t even put together by actual drummers/musicians; let alone those who actually know and appreciate heavy music. That comment was more for those people and less for those of us that know better lol. When I say “criminally underrated”, I was talking in the grand scheme of things. Of course we in the metal community know and respect his chops. 🤘🏻😈🤘🏻
During the exercise on the practice pad, while he was talking about calling lover, he sped up his beats, when he called girl friend, he slowed down, and when he called mom to prepare lunch, he completely accelerated his beats 😁
@karlarmitage9406 Hell yeah! I got to see a DTA tour as well! Quite a few years ago now. 2010s. They played the Human album in full. It was incredible. What an excellent way to keep Chuck's legacy going. RIP Chuck. I got the Spiritual Healing logo tattooed on my forearm. It was released the year I was born.

@ honest to god, I’ve tried hahaha it’s gotta be either a piece of music he made specifically for the DVD, or it’s a scrapped Mechanism track - which is my running theory since he recorded this before the album came out
Such a cool down to earth dude considering how incredibly huge of a person he is especially in the drumming world, He's a massive talent and has an even bigger heart. Love me some Gene Hoglan in any band 🤟🏽♥️
I don’t think there is a huge difference in age between me and gene, but he reminds me of a weird zen like master grandpa, just brimming with wholesomeness, niceness and drumming chops. I aren’t even a drummer and I get my pull if this. He’s just a master musician and a jolly nice fellow all round.
No matter what band he's in you know its the atomic clock, hands down the most tasteful and influential death metal drummers. The Neil Pert reference makes so much sense.
I am now 7 mounths sober....I havent touched my 10 piece drumm kit in allmost a year But!!.. because of Glen Im playing again! thanks glenn!!!.... much love man! Clinton Dearborn from NH USA
One of the most ingenious and inspirational drummers of all time. Play (or try to play) any of the songs on Symbolic and try to realise what it takes to come up with this stuff.
I love the that he is truly left handed and footed! Very noticeable when he does his warm up routine. His left hand has no problem with increasing the BPM. When he comes back to the right hand, he marginal decreases the speed. Just an observation. He is a lefty, no doubt.
I bought this DVD years ago the extras are great too, he talked about his kit and his pedals and how he once mounted a metal boat propeller onto his kit and used to play it
@@unkind78 its also on the symbolic album recorded in one of the songs, can't remember which one... but I think he mentions in the extras as this is on youtube down the rabbit hole.
He have a lot of power and volume using 90%of time only wrists. Absolutely a master.i think he is the most relaxed metal drummer in history. He get out a lot of volume and power only use wrists.
29:47 a common thread in Gene's talks is the ease of his strength... like "i just keep the weights on, its comforting..." I think this air drumming might be a beastly reason. I'm often playing on pillows but air is even less rebound
There's only one gene hoglan and just about my favorite drummer of all time........ and the only one that is as fast on double bass, and with combat boots no less
this is one amazing man, what a big heart and possibly the best drummer ITW, deff the GOATdrumming and looking like eeeeh its just another day relaxed and brutal
Ty so much Gene it’s amazing I used the leg weights listening to Slayer laying in bed as a kid when I first heard death my mind was blown ! Great lesson here allot of great lessons !
literally the holy grail of metal. 0 ppl know what band, 0 ppl know what song. all we know is that gene drummed the track. if you can find anything, you will have found what is pretty much an ancient metal artifact lost to time.

He is known to be one of the nicest guys in metal.
He rocks as hard as he gives!
Work hard , play hard!
how so? the outcome for him is the same either way
it's called virtue signalling, and you fell for it.
@@garbagemancanwhat a nice thing to say
I've always heard about Gene, not realy familiar with him. That is the thing that stood out to me about him, he seems like a real good dude, prob one of the nicest guys around.
17:34 " I'm a really lazy drummer, i like to make everything really easy "
Plays with boots and weights
This has to be THE most unusual footwear on a drummer I've ever seen.
Gene Hoglan wore such a heavy boots and drum accurately AF. Mind blown.
Doesn't really matter what you wear as long as you have good technique
@@petarpavasovic6333yeah and the pedal thing is a myth too. i’m a good drummer but my mate james plays in decapitated and he wears vans and plays iron cobras at silly high speeds so
“Tons of double bass and tons of groove and taste” Gene Hoglan

what are 12 years old?
It's okay the metal community knows how great he is. That's what counts
@@kikiokiki6788you dissing the hog???
@@ryonmurphy3797 my point is people my age worship the guy. perhaps it's different in the younger generation?
He is the Bob Ross of drumming.
Gene Hoglan is such a great drummer and an even greater person. He's so nice and down to Earth.
During the exercise on the practice pad, while he was talking about calling lover, he sped up his beats, when he called girl friend, he slowed down, and when he called mom to prepare lunch, he completely accelerated his beats 😁
His playing was so ahead of our time and unbelievably good.
Gene is a legend. Watched him perform for 3 bands in one night. Absolutely legendary.
I saw him play for 2 bands one night. I want to say it was SYL and Opeth.
Incredible talent
Seen him in dark angel Death and Death to all always amazes me so talented 🤟

Great to see Gene still kicking ass!! We went to high school together in Long Beach. Love you brother.
That’s awesome. I wish I could have went to high school with him. I’m sure we would have been friends.
I wish I could say I went to school with Gene. I’m sure we would be friends.

I’m dying to know 💀 shits heavy as fuck
The intro song is called Dark Prophecies by Dark Angel
@ THANK YOU 🙌🏻
He's so sickeningly good...so few of us will ever get anywhere near his playing...he's insane, a legend.

Gene Hoglan seems so kind the way he talks
Legendary! Watching this before bedtime. Make's me calm. Feels liks Bob Ross!
You'd think he'd be lighter with all the work he puts in.
God level drummer and character,absolute legend
I brought this on DVD when it first came out from Gene's website. This guy is an incredible drummer and a very nice person too.
I don’t play drums but this was awesome to watch the drummer of my favorite band “Dark Angel “🤟🏽
Undoubtedly the most interesting sounding Metal drummer to date. His beats just speak with the rest of the music.
I love Genes kit. That deep snare sounds really good.
Absolute BEAST on the drums!! Nicest man you would ever want to meet!!
One of the most ingenious and inspirational drummers of all time.
Play (or try to play) any of the songs on Symbolic and try to realise what it takes to come up with this stuff.
Speechless. Literally fricken speechless praise hail hoglan
I love the that he is truly left handed and footed! Very noticeable when he does his warm up routine. His left hand has no problem with increasing the BPM. When he comes back to the right hand, he marginal decreases the speed. Just an observation. He is a lefty, no doubt.

THAT'S, a f**king opening. I will 100% be doing that. Top shelf dude.
Damn how could you put this on UA-cam, breaking genes heart
What a dude :)
Gene is amazing. One of the best metal drummers in history and a really nice guy on top of it!
Swear, this guy one the most amazing humans.
Gene Hoglan is a living leyend.
Super accomplished, chops are ridiculously good and he remains humble. What a star! Thanks Gene for this amazingly inspiring video
Funkiest blast beats I've ever heard. Brilliant drummer.
Thank you so much, finally, because this didn't get released in my country!🙏 You are a true DRUMMING LEGEND, Gene! 💪Lots of love, from India!👏👌
Briliiant!
Those SYL Dr. Martens boots are so badass.
¿En alguna parte del video 📹 toca con pesas por encima de las botas 👢?
I bought this DVD years ago the extras are great too, he talked about his kit and his pedals and how he once mounted a metal boat propeller onto his kit and used to play it
You can see that propeller in Philosopher video and in live videos from Death from that era.
@@unkind78 its also on the symbolic album recorded in one of the songs, can't remember which one... but I think he mentions in the extras as this is on youtube down the rabbit hole.
Slave to the blip! What a legend
Legend 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
You are an absolute unit Gene.
You can watch this on YT, but you can't eat the little chocolate Gene Hoglan candies that came with the dvd! Lol love you Gene!
Dead ass?
DAMMIT I LOVE THIS! GENE HOGLAN IS A BLACKENED GOD!
Джин на столько крутой, что может играть даже в пижаме)
best snare sound ever
He have a lot of power and volume using 90%of time only wrists. Absolutely a master.i think he is the most relaxed metal drummer in history. He get out a lot of volume and power only use wrists.
El baterísta bueno toca de muñeca a lo jazz 🎺
check out nick barker from old dimmu, he was an animal too
lovely footage by the master
The intro song is from Mechanism,.called.. i love ac/dc ... a instrumental made for this DVD... unfortunately its nowhere to be found
Good on you, Gene. Great suggeation. I just donated to Focus on the Family, Heritage Foundation, the National Right to Life, and the NRA.
29:47 a common thread in Gene's talks is the ease of his strength... like "i just keep the weights on, its comforting..." I think this air drumming might be a beastly reason. I'm often playing on pillows but air is even less rebound
Hell yeah, our local Dallas boy!

What a phenomenal video. Those warm up exercises are incredibly effective.
He's an amazing drummer, makes all these slamming groves look effortless and they sure aren't!! Shit you beatbox with your mouth he can do by foot!!!
Awesome great drummer
Happy holidays to you
28:09 nice fill 🤘
Just my favourite drumer in thrash...

Powerful
Excellent.
24:56 best part
Ty so much Gene it’s amazing I used the leg weights listening to Slayer laying in bed as a kid when I first heard death my mind was blown ! Great lesson here allot of great lessons !
Boots and ankle weights is just a slap in the face....
Thank Hoglan 4 all !!!!!
Jeff from Carcass IS a sardonic SOB, thats why we love him!
Gene Hoglan is one of those drummers who have a signature sound. Sooooo fucking good. So much work over the years.
TT Master Gene Hoglan
Gene is a Legend
He's a legend.... Nothing short
I’d be honored if anyone stole my licks!
Amazing video. Stellar drumming.
Whats the first song they open with?
literally the holy grail of metal. 0 ppl know what band, 0 ppl know what song. all we know is that gene drummed the track. if you can find anything, you will have found what is pretty much an ancient metal artifact lost to time.
Gods of metal, i met Gene, Giant with the biggest heart, , super down to Earth man ,THANKS GENE YOU ET THE STANDARD FOR ALL
55:15 🤩Wow, Gene is even a funk machine 🤘🏻Great Video, thx4 sharing 👍🏻👋🏻

I finally just ordered some leg weights bro! Been wanting to try it

The hardest working man in metal. Seems to be one of the nicest as well. \m/
What an awesome human being.
I am going to donate thank you for giving me an excuse Gene Hoglan!:D
Hey, according to the Old Man’s Child album, his name is HOGLAND. There are things I should definitely do get right
too cool
One of the coolest humans I have ever met. Amazing drummer I'd love to jam with.
One very zen dude
Thank you
Gene is a fucking beast !!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Una joya!
I use those wrist stretching for my carpet tunnel
The guy is simply not human. Same goes for Perry Strickland.
Shuffle-up-agus...? Bhuel, cad eile?! :D
