I’m obsessed with Baard’s drumming. So powerful and creative. The Sky is Red should absolutely be up next👍
Øystein Dahl yess! I’d love to see the sky is red next
Agreed, he feels it and actually plays the drums like an instrument and not just following the standard 4/4 anyone can play
Absolutely! The playthrough is phenomenal! Love Leprous and Baard.
The Sky is Red is marvelous. Absolutely loved the playthrough!
The Sky is Red = MASTERPIECE.
I adore Leprous and Baard. “The Sky is Red” pleeeeease. Subbing! To answer your question, they’re decently well known in America. Depends on what circles you’re talking about. They’re heavily respected in the metal community.
And they are fearfully awesome live. One of the most jaw dropping bands I've ever seen live
Sigurður Ólafsson agreed! I have seen them live 3 times, and am constantly waiting for them to tour the states again!
@@arianaengvig7560 I've only seen them twice and they still haven't been to Iceland, where I live. I met them after one of the gigs and they are super nice guys. They have toured with my favorite band here in Iceland, Agent Fresco. You should check them out 🙂
Thy Sky Is Red
Butthole Surfer Have to pass my days at work somehow. 😂
Dude is other-worldly. Dude was a street performer in his younger days. Amazing story. Agree "The Sky is Red" is absolutely sick.
That's interesting! Where can I find out more about this guy? Only ran into this group, Leprous, a few days ago and I'm absolutely fascinated.
@@tolkstein Hey man search You tube and his name there are a plethora of videos of him just busking out on the streets.
Him playing a song called "Rewind" that's a banger. Or "Contaminate Me"
He didn't play Contaminate me on the recording though. There is the cool live performance with the original drummer and Baard together though
@@DaveTheTrain I was referring to that performance
“Rewind” is a fave of mine, but drum fans always disagree with me for some reason.
@@jen.g. yes it doesn't show case much of the amazing drumming creativity he can have
better have a look on to Mirage or Coma
Huascar Rojas I’ve seen literally every playthrough he’s done. I think “Rewind” is more entertaining than most others from my perspective as someone who isn’t a drummer. But “The Sky is Red” is objectively good.
This is the first "drum teacher reacts" I've actually enjoyed. Felt a lot more like you're trying to teach than just profit off other people's content.
Also hell yes for leprous. God damn I love Baard so much
That's EXACTLY what I'm trying to do.
Man check out Dan Presland from Ne Obliviscaris, or Matt Halpern from Periphery. Your explanation and love of the shuffle will really make you appreciate those too. They’re both very rudimentally sound drummers. I think you’d very much enjoy them!!
Moon - Leprous (Baard Kolstad)
Please do this! it's my favorite of his
His playthrough is fkin ridiculous huh
I second 🌕 for review too!
Baard is my friend and he is a super talented drummer, I have been playing with him in Bergen: 2 percussionists, 1 drummer and 1 bass... One of the drummers who understood quickly some of the most complicated rhythms from Morocco
He's amazing!!
I'd be honored if you showed this to him
@@JunkdrummerTV Yes I sent it to him, he will like it, I am sure
facebook.com/baard.kolstad
facebook.com/BaardKolstadOfficial/
Get in touch with him, he is an adorable boy!
I’m not a drummer but really appreciate your breakdown of one of my favourite Leprous tracks. Thank you.
Baard is just a GOD drummer. And he's pretty young..slowly becoming one of the best drummers ever born. No doubt about it. You absolutely have to do reactions to his other videos.. "Rewind" or "The Sky is Red" are awesome examples of his skills..
Leprous is right up my alley and I still only discovered them 3 or 4 years ago, but their whole catalogue is really great. I got to see them on tour with BTBAM and The Dear Hunter a couple years back (which for me may have been the show of my life if the venue's acoustics hadn't been so awful). Baard is a beast of a drummer and at the same time has shown great subtlety and restraint as the band has inched a bit further away from metal over their last couple albums. You should definitely check out more of their stuff.
If you loved this, then i’d recommend his playthrough of Moon, its insane
Woohooo! YEEEEEES! I'm soo happy with this one!!! Thank you and you're welcome! ❤ Baard is such a great drummer! Every song has something completely different. Also, it's super funny you did a good pronounciation of his name yet butchered my handle XD Jus kidding haha But Joana is easier to say :P
Leprous as a band are growing a healthy base of fans over Europe and America. They completely changed the prog scene for me and are a breath of fresh air.
Imma keep bugging you with this one for the song "The Sky is Red", you'll like him even more with each song!
Thanks man!
Ps.: will let him know about this one
I'm glad you enjoyed it!!!
@@JunkdrummerTV you da best 🙌
I try hard.
There WAS a disturbing lack of corpse paint, though.
He talked in an interview about changing his grip & NOT placing all his fingers on the stick because he found that he can get a better sound from a slightly different grip technique. He stated that he preferred the sound he could produce with a more open grip & although different grips maybe work for different drummers the important thing is for to be aware of sounds u produce. Here's the interview for those who're interested - he start talking about it around the 5:30 mark ua-cam.com/video/xMeV0oZHlLo/v-deo.html
Hands down most real drum teacher on the Tube, much respect. I don’t drum but do enjoy beats and sense following you find myself hearing only the drums in songs and nothing else. Cheers.
Rewind by Leprous is a banger and another really unique drum track
Yesss! I've been hoping you'd get to baard sooner or later. Guy is killing it!
You gotta love the half time shuffle, just another example: BARONESS - If I Have to Wake Up Would You Stop the Rain
I like the fact that you actually explain what the drummer is doing. It's great for a non-drummer like me who's interested in rhythm!
Yeah Baard is a beast. I love his other project he plays with a dj. Worth checking out for sure.
Great stuff man, really enjoyed it. Provided some interesting insight
I love this band, they're all kinds of weird, but sound so damn good!
Thank you
Great Video.. I learned alot.
Fun Fact: Norwegians musicians usually doesnt wear corpsepaint.
The best reaction/analys so far. I like the way you explain and talk about details. Keep it up!
Give a listen to Bonneville playtrough. You'll like it.
Be sure to check out the interview I did with him!
Corpse paint isn't that far away in Norwegian metal community. The singer Einars brother in law is Ihsahn from Emperor and is featured on the Leprous song Contaminate me. Ihsahns solo stuff is also great prog metal. Barrd Kolstad has played with Borknagar too.
OMG yes!!! c: Awesome, dude!!! Everything about Baard is quality and just fun and joy x) you should check out Mirage or Coma next.
7:55 I was waiting to see how that part would hit you, and it went as expected lol
I m glad you like Baard as he is one of my fav drummers and leprous one of the best prog bands i know.
Very nice! Love that up-tempo shuffle!
Very uptempo Haha
The corpsepaint gag has just earned you a subscribe, good sir.
leprous - the sky is red (drum playthrough by baard kolstad) please - btw awesome reaction this one, you have an amazing personality lml
One of my all time favorite bands and drummers! Leprous is complex in their subtleties
Couldn't agree with you more on 12/8, it's like a nexus of groove possibilities! It's a staple in my warm up routine.
I'd love to see your analysis of Digital Dream Sequence by Trioscapes. I have never learned about different grooves, so learning names for them is amazing! Thank you for the videos
Thank you!!
Just discovered your channel, loved it! Joey Baca from The Contortionist would be great to see and or Marco Minnemann from Steven Wilson's work. A worthy sub 🤟🏽
My favorite band!
Loved the comment on technique in relation to being or getting good. Always hated people critiqueing technique when someone clearly created something amazing in their own way
edit: +- 4:24
It's funny I always follow the Leprous content on youtube, and I always see the same people in the comments lol, but yeah dude! Check out more Leprous! As someone already said, "The Sky Is Red" is an awesome playthrough. So is "Moon."
Shout out to the commenter who pushed for this (I really like the grooves Baard plays as well).
Fittingly this just went up- ua-cam.com/video/nj6fM2KpyOA/v-deo.html
You're welcome :p
Discovered your channel yesterday and I am enjoying watching. Your argument about Meg White has swayed my thoughts about her a little lol. Can you do a video on Chris Dave? He is a drummer that has a very unique style.
love this video! you should react to tomas haake of meshuggah. it's a swedish metal band since 1987 and tomas haake is playing the drums since 1990 in the band. excellent guy!
Man, nice break down of the song and and the groove! Loved it!
Check Baard's playthrough of The Sky Is Red, I am really wondering what you have to say about it.
I mean check any of Baard's videos, none of them are similar.
I love the part on 6:16 when your pinky goes out ❤️
And 6:29 ❤️
The corpsepaint joke made me laugh, as a Norwegian I found it overly funny..
I didn't think Norwegian musicians were allowed to play music with it.
This dude is a power house! Also, I enjoy your videos. Awesome beard.
Do the sky is red it shows baards strongest drumming as of today beeing powerful without just beeing fast
One of my random favorite memories of you from drumline is how excited you got about Stupid Girl by Cold when it came out because it was a song in 12 on the radio lol
also hey hope you feel better
Haha. I remember that
And yes this band has a cello and multiple types of keyboards/pianos
That man makes love to the snare
Leprous are great and hell yeah, that dude sure can play. If you want a style of groove you havent had on the channel, and probably wont be able to explain (or at least id like you to try) then you definitely gotta check out JP Kaukonen play Perceive The Mendacity by his band Circle of Contempt. They write some pretty wild stuff I think you'd appreciate the style.
Leprous is a great band. Leprous- Slave live is another good one to check out. They played the states but they’re not that big here. Sadly, most Europeans bands are not big in the states but are incredible. In high school in the mid 90’s 90% of the bands I listened to were from overseas. Imo they just did more creative things musically than in the states.
hope you do rewind in the future :^)
You didn't know Norwegians played proggy stuff? You might wanna check out Spiral Architect. That stuff is just STUPID complicated. And awesome.
And actually more blackened bands throw a LOT of prog stuff out there, Einherjar and later Emperor are prime examples. And more modern Enslaved for that matter!
This channel needs some Bobby Jarzombek! Love your work man!
It will eventually
First time watching, good stuff brother. Since you mentioned corpse paint and black metal a couple of times, thought you might find it interest to know the singer of Leprous is the brother in law of Ihsahn from Emperor. Hope you are feeling better now.
Thanks!! I am
Sepultura`s Eloy Casagrande playing "Alethea" Steeeeeve.
Recipe for anxiety:
. Wholesome content for us half ass drummers;
. Interaction with the audience;
Man, you just make me more and more curious to know what you have to say about this song and his playing.
And don`t mind me bothering you every chance I get hahahaha it`s just love
Baard is a monster on the kit. Check out Slave, Live at Rockefeller Center.
@Junkdrummer TV
Could you please do a reaction to “Steven Wilson - The Watchmaker (Live in Frankfurt)” The drummer is Marco Minneman. Much much love!
You should check out a bunch of their music. Bard is absolutely insane. Check out Bonneville, The Flood, and Contaminate Me
Glad I stuck around till later- almost clicked away when your "triplets" in 12/8 were 5-lets... at 2:20. Half time shuffles are great grooves
Weeeelllll. They can't really be 5's if the 2 on the back beat keeps coming out on the left hand unless he'd be doing a sticking which he's not. But thanks for the view and glad you enjoyed it.
What do you mean? You start on the downbeat of the example 12/8 measure with your right hand. If what you're playing are the 8th notes in 12/8 (sound like triplets in 4/4) then your right hand would ALSO have the back beat!
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12
Alternating RLRL
The fact that you're accenting your left hand either means you're playing a 5 let, or you're playing "triplets" and accenting 1 partial before the backbeat
@@JunkdrummerTV I mean, you can just count it in the video! It's not that fast...
Right 2 3 4 5
Left 2 3 4 5
Right 2 3 4 5
Left 2 3 4 5
When you play a shuffle the backbeat comes on the 2 and 4 with both hands playing at the same time. Think of it like. RLRRLRB. B being both. There aren't any 5s in the song
@@JunkdrummerTV I understand that - but the part I'm highlighting in the video is not the shuffle beat! You've said "He's running triplets over 12/8" and then proceed to demonstrate straight 5-lets, not straight triplets
How about reviewing Adam Deitch of Lettuce!! Killer funky drummer!
You should check out Rewind by Leprous. It has a drum playthrough video that is quite good.
For me the best drum part of leprous is Moon. It constantly changes.
Listen to THE SKY IS RED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
”Bored Kolstad” 😂😂 im not norwegian and pls correct me if im wrong but i think Baard is pronounced just like Bar but just with the d at the end. Of course the R is different here in scandinavia than in the us for example.
If you're doing comment requests ...GENE HOGLAN!!!
It's coming. Please be patient with me and stick around!!
@@JunkdrummerTV of course I just like busting your chops man
Hahaha
@@thebeefmaster74 might as well just react to a drum machine, and I mean that in the best way possible
When you do Gene Hoglan please check out Crystal Mountain. He has some really great sticking on the high hat. I have always wondered how you would do that. Great video BTW on Baard.
Please see the sky is red
You should check out Nick Divirgillio
Damn 👍👍
Baard. “The Sky is Red”
I'm sure I sound like a broken record at this point, but please do Marco Minnemann with the Aristocrats! (Oh and get better, eh!)
It's coming. Just be patient with me.
Damn... never heard of this band.. the vocalists voice is absolutely beautiful. The drummer is ok too :P
You mentioned corpse paint. Funny thing is he played in a black metal band fronted by ex Gorgoroth vocalist Ghaal. And yes, he worse corpse paint.
Be sure to check out the interview I did with him!
@@JunkdrummerTV I saw you did one after I posted this comment. I watched the first half and will finish the second tonight. So cool you got an interview with him!
Some of the vocal last reminded me of Blind Guardian but less opera
Ha-if our friend liked Leprous, maybe he should do TesseracT next?
Hei ! Have you seen BK play Zappa ??
You should react to Nicolas Vicaro!
Could I suggest Ben Thatcher from Royal Blood
hey there, i love your content, please keep going!
Anyway, please react to some GOJIRA :) Mario Duplantier is a very interesting drummer and the group is just the best metal band ever!
👍✨
Wow. The famous halftime shuffle.
Great video as usual. Gotta check this band out .
Funny story Steve, I played it yesterday at my band practice and they thought I was playing the Rossanna shuffle(a little slow ) and our female vocalists hisses in the guitarists ears " Is he playing the Porn hub theme intro"?... Funny she thought I was trying to score with her for Valentine's day. 😂😂
Here's the theme check it out ua-cam.com/video/7wwP_hIfXHk/v-deo.html
Hahaha. That's a great story!!
Shuffle til they're sick of it! Haha.
Should have done moon or sky is red.
~~~~ Baard Polyrhythm Kolstad ~~~~
Leprous is kind of carrying the prog metal genre on its back the past albums.
More like haken is,
Can't believe you filmed without remembering to hide your Pickle Rick Funko Pop box.
Just out of curiosity, what kind of cymbals do you use?
Sabian HH and Artisan
@@JunkdrummerTV Sabians are good, I have a 22 inch sabian AAX Omni ride and a 22 inch AA Apollo ride and I love them! Loud bells and nice stick definition
a dying art, traditional grip. Since the marching drums don't hang outside the leg anymore it has got no particular use. Or maybe for spastic jazz-drummers. Or is is something old men do?
Gojira drummer reactions now please
It's coming. Just please be patient with me.
Did he just criticize his pinky? lol
“It’s like playing drums with a condom on” - another zinger there Steve 😉
I thing wrong with the preambles haha what? Yea i learn stuff from your brain...all good!
I guarantee this “instructor” can’t Rosanna half time shuffle.
Haha I guarantee you are wrong, and you obviously didn't stick around for the end of the video.
You wish you could play that shuffle for even 10 seconds.
Save the blabbing and pause. Or wait until the end. I cannot hear the nuances you speak of when you're speaking. Watching this was a waste. I'm glad you enjoyed it
So long and I won't miss you!!
