The 32nd notes at that tempo alone at the 4:00 mark were simply impressive to say the very least.. Then the winding down to 16th note triplets and finally 16th notes and out was a real nice touch.. Seemed very natural.. Stellar performance..
@@neilmaccanbell9813 Well yes but only because they manufactured on a larger scale before Tama did. So their endorsements were more attractive and they definitely used social media earlier on. Ive always been Tama until they went to China. Im not paying MIJ prices for MIC lol at least Pearl went to Taiwan and still makes kits in the US. But Tama is definitely a renowned prog/metal brand. It just sucks you can only get MIJ drums if you shell out for a Star kit or find a exported MIJ starclassic maple.
Well, TAMA will definitely want their money’s worth from David, exposure wise, after supplying him with that drool worthy 9 piece kit. Mind you, the most costly components in his setup would have to be his plethora of extremely exxy Murat Diril cymbals. Edit : They can set you back in excess of $1000 a piece!
It's always great to see my favourite drum company showcase one of my favourite drummers. The accuracy and agility of David is a sight (and sound) to behold. Truly a monster in his field.
At 1:35 that use of up note ska/Copland like style (on the stack) in concert with his straight forward footwork is by far in my opinion the best show of his chops and ability to make the ordinary, extraordinary.
This is just next level playing! How the hell are these young guys this good and how is it humanly possible to play like this?. Maybe I should have sold my soul to the Satan.🤔
When I was a kid and I started playing over fifteen years ago, dream theater was the technical goal to achieve for me. Now I look at these guys and the music they play nowadays and it feels like learning a dream theater song is equivalent to learning an ACDC or a kiss song seemed to be back then.
@@king-manu2758 Exactly... it's truly remarkable what the human body can achieve. If we played like this when we were young we would have been famous for sure, now it seems to just be the norm.
@@SmallSoldier He's famous today because he plays like this :D it's completely uncommon in 2022 to have this level. The thing is, with internet and plateforms like youtube, we have access to the best musicians and we watch them rather than the vast majority of "regular" musicians. We are becoming used to see perfection like this by the few 1% and tend to forget the 99% that are really good but not that good. It's still amazing and incredibly hard to manage to play Dream Theatre in 2022 !! we just forget it because we only watch the bestest :D But it's also true that there is this thing of learning in the tracks of our elders and what was new and difficult for them becomes easier with time because they had time to debunk and decompose the technics and transmit them in a more understandable way to the younger generations. Sorry for this long and not really structured answer... My 2cts.
@@king-manu2758 Except no drummer can play Learning To Live as the album version XD Technical speed is different than what technical ability DT requires.
Good lord. This is some of Obscura's fastest material to date and David is just blazing through these tracks like a world class act. The amount of techniques and changes being applied in this song is absolutely mind melting. On a beautiful Tama kit. David's performance is just top notch.
@@berenjarrett4210 ill be catching Obscura tonight actually! Unfortunately I don't think David will be on this tour I believe they're having Gabe Seeber fill in and pull a double duty this tour. Im excited to catch them with this lineup
@@thedruidzmademe666 also i'm interested if Muenzner plays the solo in Akroasis(or the other songs he didn't play the solo) or does he just do his own stuff like Trujillo did at first
You Tube’s notifications have let me down. I have this dude on the highest defcon alert possible... yet, nothing. Mesmerising playthrough with the surgical precision of a neurosurgeon. I wouldn’t even listen to OBSCURA if David wasn’t the drummer. Musically brilliant, but just not what arouses me. Edit : Loved Sebastian’s work with them also.
I forced myself to learn it for my playing after obsessing on french grip for a long time. Can confirm. Can play faster for longer and it just opens up other avenues in your playing with time
Deffo check out Wanja Groger, he uses push pull aswell, also does an extremely strange foot technique, using heel toe but playing singles instead of doubles
His ability to go in and out of the push/pull technique with his left hand while maintaining that level of accuracy and power is completely nuts. Never seen anything like it.
Fuckin Heil brother! I've been an absolute fan for years and despite having come to terms that I'd never witness your brutality live, LO AND BEHOLD you and Obscura are coming to San Diego in about a week's time. I can't fucking wait and stoked is nothing short of an understatement!
Amazing Drumming as Always but and the rest bands musicians are incredible with fantastic musical ideas!!Of course is Extreme Metal but at his bests!!!
And this... is extreme metal drumming. The majority of the people who are subscribed to this channel won't appreciate the skills of David. Simply because they are not be used to "such amount of noise".
Isn't it great that both death metal and black metal drummers have really pushed the envelope with fast but comfortable hand and foot techniques! Thanks to METAL!
My heart breaks that I did not have a chance to see you live last fall. Any chance for A Valediction tour in Europe this fall? (If so, please don't skip Hungary!!!)
Diepold's precision is unmatched
David Diepold, you are the God of Drums. Obscura is lucky to have you as a part of the band.
Nooooooo That would be Neil Peart...
Unfortunately Neil isn't here any longer
@@XXXCRSPL 😢
@@RCSkunkWorX Neil is legend forsure but watching David play metal like this sets the bar so high for where I’m at on the drums. Insane.
Neil Peart could never play that, even half speed lol
The best song from "A Valediction"! Veeeeeeryyyy nice!
The 32nd notes at that tempo alone at the 4:00 mark were simply impressive to say the very least.. Then the winding down to 16th note triplets and finally 16th notes and out was a real nice touch.. Seemed very natural.. Stellar performance..
David's ease of facility is ridiculous!! He never looks stressed or struggled. Probably the finest tuned drummer Ive ever seen.
Well done Tama, getting a extreme drummer on their official channel
I had to double check it’s not the german channel, this is crazy !
Tama does dominate in Metal XD
@@FanaticDrummer actually I think pearl has them beat abit I terms of roster im a tama guy myself

2:15 that sudden melodic assault YES!

I hate how easy this looked for him.
just another Wednesday for David
I got my tickets for the march show in Portland Oregon I can't fckn wait to see David live
Phenomenal as always! Honestly I would of not picked anyone else but David to take over for Sebastián in Obscura!
That push-pull blast technique is so satisfying to watch.
Fantastic drumming and drummer...
Great sound of drums!!
MIND-BLOWING
That left hand push pull has evolved into freakish form.
I like the push-pull on the blast beats... feel like I don't often see that
apparently it’s also the healthiest way to play fast
I forced myself to learn it for my playing after obsessing on french grip for a long time. Can confirm. Can play faster for longer and it just opens up other avenues in your playing with time
@@PyroLegend1 Push-pull can be played using french grip, american grip or german grip

@@TheRozzleNozzle Wanja can play heel toe with one foot at 250 bpm, that's crazy
This is the song where the band told David to go absolutely nuts.
David has really leveled up Obscura, which is really saying something. Fuck yeah man
Tama star drums just sound the best
in.....in....in....in....goddamn incredible!!!!!!! what a speed man.....clearly god of metal drums.....love your drumming
absolutely insane - you have to love it !
The Goat of modern tech death drumming, so dam clean
Probably album of the year for me and this song and the drumming definitely sits at the top!
OMG!!!!!!! what a crazy sound !!!!!! i love this drum! 👊🤟🤟🥁
Everytime I hear you drum I fall in love. You have mastered your craft and now you using push/pull is it's even better. Thank you.
Absolutely awe inspiring! 😧
When the start song playin, feels like im holding my breath til the end song. Sick🙌🏼
Beautiful 😍😍😍🤘🤘🤘
Best feet on the planet. Poor David having to play all these masterpieces live!

Phenomenally 🙏🙏🙏
Absolute machine!
🤘🥁🤘 love Tama I use my 2005 StarClassics on the road got the British racing green MIJ
A melhor bateria do Mundo 🥁 Tama 🥁
The brand of the drums is not relevant when there's a good drummer behind the kit.
man, that's so nice of playing.
Todo cena ou cenário de metal extremo esse cara tá envolvido, simplesmente o melhor da atualidade.
mas os caras são lambreovos do eloy casagrande affff
This band kicks ass
Bro you are insane.
Too good. Damn 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
What a killer sound!
Fuck! That's just awesome! The playing, the sound and look of the kit... even the t-shirt is 💪
SICK. 🤘🏻
I can CONFIDENTLY say that he is one of the best black metal drummers of all time. In my opinion one of the best drummers of all time.
Du bist einfach der krasseste Drummer 🤘
Es ist ein Fest 😀

Amazing Drumming as Always but and the rest bands musicians are incredible with fantastic musical ideas!!Of course is Extreme Metal but at his bests!!!
impréssionant!
It may not be my style of music, but this guy is amazing with speed and technique.
Insane. He inspired me to sell my drum kit.
Also I really love the last Obscura album, so glad they reunited with Christian Münzner and Jeroen Thesseling, both incredible musicians.
Ispired you to sell your drums. 🤣
This proves that it's not strength, it's a way...
Tama aways was my dream to have one

And this... is extreme metal drumming. The majority of the people who are subscribed to this channel won't appreciate the skills of David. Simply because they are not be used to "such amount of noise".
Preach brother!
Its his own leauge, period
Surely the double ride thing is an homage to The Rev? Would love if it was!
Be a a Metal drum hero. You're doing it right.
Is this when David are still under the training of push-pull technic for his right arm?
Best on the planet
Yasss!!!
Isn't it great that both death metal and black metal drummers have really pushed the envelope with fast but comfortable hand and foot techniques!
Thanks to METAL!
Wowwww!!!
WE NEED AN INSTRUMENTAL VERSION OF AN ALBUM
My heart breaks that I did not have a chance to see you live last fall. Any chance for A Valediction tour in Europe this fall? (If so, please don't skip Hungary!!!)
Great t-shirt....I have it 😊👍🏻
WOW!!!!😳😳😳😳
Amazing drumming! Is he using the Startphonic Copper snare?
Incredibilis
Mierda, es una máquina este tipo .
The double kick at 3:15 🎉
What a god..
Beast 🤟🤟🤟🤟
Это фантастика!!! Мне кажется - это Паганини на ударных...Потрясающе...
WOW
Fireball was yesterday
I would love to see a challenge with David, Lord Marco and Prewett. And maybe Adam Bjork or the guy from Signs of the swarm. I think David can win
You are a freak dude. I love how you play
Brutal \m/
Killer
Hooooolyyyyy shit! 🔥🤘🏼🔥
Wth man... This doublebass is insane. 💀
