He used to have the same technique on both hands but had to switch to push-pull on his left because of wrist problems, he explained that a while ago. He mastered that technique so fast it makes him look even more insane.
And that is why I adore him. He is a fellow Austrian and he masters every technique that you can actually achieve. Heel-Toe, Push-Pull, Swiveling... This guy does it all!

Btw the reason he keeps his toms in such a flat angle is because it forces him to sit as straight as he can, means not hurting his back somehow (out of a Marthyn Jovanovic - analysis from one of David's playthroughs) Really suggest doing this too, works really fine
Yeeaah. So many drummers understate the importance of sitting back straight. First of all.. it helps with the balance, second.. you'll stay healthy and avoid unwanted muscle & joint pains. Pls fellow drummers, sit back straight and then adjust the kit that you can play like that. It'll be all for the best.
Murat Diril actually is the creator of the Byzance line of cymbals. So they actually are the best Meinl's Samus. You know, cause you play them all the time.
I think he is also the mastermind behind Meinl‘s MB20 Series. In my opinion these are/were the best metal cymbals ever build, loud an aggressive as hell, I really love them.
@@frankseparator I didn't know that but it doesn't surprise me. That's why I skipped the middle man(Meinl) and went right to the source (Murat). I still like some of Meinl's stuff thought. Sand ride, Extra Thin Hammered stuff etc.
Yeah Murat Diril is the guy that used to work for Meinl or zildjian or that was his brother or something , I remember back in the day like 15 years ago when he started the Murat Diril brand and drummers from Portugal forums used to contact him and ask for a load of cymbals and share the postage ! I did owned one of his hithats for a period of time and they were class
As far as I can remember they were two brothers - Ibrahim and Murat. They used to work for Istanbul Cymbals before it split to Agop and Mehmet, then worked for Meinl (Byzance series) and Paiste (Twenty series) and now both of them have their own brand - Ibrahim has Diril Cymbals, and Murat has Murat Diril Cymbals.
David Diepold's hand technique is the incarnation of the drumming concept of "porcamadonna" There are not many drummers who can express a concept so well
David has been killing it since his first video upload on youtube years ago. Glad to see Dave he deserves all the success that will come to him no doubt. So underated and easily the top metal drummer out there fukng destroying it.
He's been one of my favorite drummers for a while now, since I stumbled onto one of his videos randomly. He's got perfect technique and it just amazing to watch
That's the producer's dream, placing cymbals higher gets rid of a lot of the bleed coming into the tom and top snare mics, but of course the drummer is the one who has to adapt to this type of set up, although David looks very comfy regardless of cymbal hight...
I have been watching David for years, people always say "well there's always someone better out there", yeah David is the someone. He's an amazing drummer. And yes I believe he's working on push/ pull with his right, I vaguely remember hearing him say that on a Marthyn video...
I remember being a big fan of David's covers of Shemhamforash and Damn Draft Dodgers years and years ago. Was super excited to hear he was joinign Obscura
Davíd has been my top drummer for about 4 years too. Have also had lessons in the DTA. He cannot be touched for sheer perfect chops. There are a handful of drummers that can play nearly as good.
I was thinking about this on my way to work this morning. Like..How in the the ass haven`t Samus had a video about this amazing drummer. And tadaaaa...A vid with just that!
I really like the difference in feel his two different blast beat techniques between hands produce, it gives a very human element to his playing which is so perfected it's at risk of sounding robotic His Nile cover on his channel really showcases that well
Yesssss, David I'm really really seeing him here (or in general in more reactions over the past, idk, 1½ years or so), cause he's one of the most underrated Extreme Metal Drummers, and also quite a Motivation/ Inspiration to practice as well as Influence on my playing personally (e.g. his db - techniqu, left hand in blasts, his blasts on HH only Quarter notes etc), so it's so awesome seeing him getting a little more attention. Buy Cognizance-Merch ya'll
That TAMA "Japanese Sen Burst" is my absolute favorite. So good looking. His playing is just F L A W L E S S. btw, that last short clip you showed is my GO TO VIDEO when I want to watch some Diepold Drumming. Easily my favorit. Just so short :D
I remember watching him covering Nile and I thought he should be in a band that I would know and now he's in obscura and man he is so good and Obscura the few songs I've heard have been the best I've ever heard from them
Samus you should react to the Drum playthrough for Intensified Genocide from Shadow of Intent by Bryce Butler. The insane drumming combined with his ear to ear smile is just the best.
Bryce is the best boi. Known him for years and he’s always been an absolute beacon of light in the Dallas music scene. He’s so deserving of all of the hype he’s gotten more recently.
Shannon really influenced me (Alan is incredible too with regards to this!!) in terms of having relaxed/perfect technique & precision despite playing extremely challenging & fast music. It's like the faster & more intense the playing, the cleaner & more calculated the drummer should be to murder the song without hurting themselves.
Its open close technique for the left hand, pushpull in his right hand they are differrent moves and differrent sounds open close its even on up and down stroke, push pull its louder on down stroke
Some of the best examples of 'drums going with sweeping guitars in a fill together' that spring to mind are Necrophagist - Stabwound, and Nile - Kheftiu Asar Butchiu (the ending fills of the solo section in particular are absolutely disgusting)
Interesting that you mentioned the Murat Diril cymbals! The 4 Diril brothers used to work at Meinl and they split off and formed their own cymbal companies. Diril, Murat Diril, Samsun, and I forgot the other one.
Awesome jumping awesome catch very talented man.. to be able to play like that after risk problems is amazing.. if I went a quarter of how fast he's driving I would be amazed... Lol.. 😁 🥁🤘ROCK ON ROCK FOREVER🥁🤘🎉
I saw obscura in Montréal march second it is so amazing and i bought a tum skin signed by the band awesome show and so good memories sorry for my english im french canadian
I love hearing you bring up these classic names like Shannon Lucas, all of us OGs remember those guys from the early 2000s. How bout nick pierce playing his blast beats with traditional grip in the faceless, that shit blew my mind. Anyway this guy right here is incredible
Jordan Mancino also uses flat tom angles...I tried flattening my toms too but it was so damn hard to navigate from the middle tom to the floor tom and I kept hitting rims so then I went back to angling my toms slightly (they are mounted on a stand)
@@mikescretion7727 I was thinking about an actual oil change (vehicle type) but I'm older so the oil change reference kinda went over my head 😅. Unless I missed sarcastic humor..

Samus actually needs to contact David Diepold, cause they might have similar wrist issues and maybe he could provide some help!
Nobody asked shitter
You can go much faster with push/pull than with fingers
Thanks for featuring some our our tunes! David is an absolute legend 👑👑👑

Well hes in Obscura.
One of the bests..!
His Nile and cattle decap covers are insane
He's a machine! Very impressive!
Great blast beats can you do a video on how to build indurence when playing heavy metal
Btw the reason he keeps his toms in such a flat angle is because it forces him to sit as straight as he can, means not hurting his back somehow (out of a Marthyn Jovanovic - analysis from one of David's playthroughs)
Really suggest doing this too, works really fine
Or you can burn your kit and play a real instrument
The ukulele
Flat plane drums and cymbals have the best appearance. My high hat, snare, floor tom and 1 cymbal are level. Drives the womerns wild.
Yeeaah. So many drummers understate the importance of sitting back straight. First of all.. it helps with the balance, second.. you'll stay healthy and avoid unwanted muscle & joint pains. Pls fellow drummers, sit back straight and then adjust the kit that you can play like that. It'll be all for the best.
Mike Bordin has entered the chat 💬
Same reason why Matt Greiner and Adam Gray also have flat toms.
Shannon Lucas is a master. Miss that dude.
Still my favorite drummer
That tattoo loving drum playing master
And you are one of the most original drum cam youtube channel
He was good. Mostly fast though. Not very creative.
Diepold is definitely my favorite drummer. His playing style is so clean and relaxed. AMAZING!
I’ve never seen a drummer so relaxed while playing something like this. Incredible technique
David's one of my favorite drummers and is absolutely amazing. Perfect drummer to watch for his control and techniques
Samus must react to Eugene Ryabchenko playing The Betrayal by Fleshgod Apocalypse.
Couldn't agree more, Eugene is unreal.
wanja groger's cover of laser cannon deth sentence is a good one too
Yes ..he should
yes! seconded.
was thinking the same

I use murat, they're expensive af
Diepold's drum cover for "Deadset on Suicide" by CATTLE DECAPITATION is so aweeeesome! Samus, please cover Cattle Decapitation too!
Fuck yea
Check out the drum cam of Dave McGraw on Sick Drummer Mag and wait for the guy to come to the side of the kit xD
His cover of shamenforhash is the closest thing to a drummer splitting an atom.
@@keithgoodman7966, I think you mean Shemhamforash --> ua-cam.com/video/2Gu_GFMhKow/v-deo.html
100%
Sir you are incredibly humble and I love your passion for our drum. You rule brosef
His relaxation is like the complete opposite of how Chris Turner looks when he plays
Probably a robot.
Absolutely love his work with Cognizance.
Their discography rips!
I've been subbed to David for 4 years now and always watch his posts. Dude is unreal.
His drumming is sooo relaxed. He makes it look easy! I also love his ride cymbal, it sounds brilliant, and I like it ❤️
That album artwork at 12:16 is made by Jef Whitehead of Leviathan / Lurker of Chalice.
My all-time favorite artist & musician.
From our album Malignant Dominion!
An amazing metal drummer reacting to another amazing metal drummer. This was awesome to watch! 🤘
David Diepold's hand technique is the incarnation of the drumming concept of "porcamadonna"
There are not many drummers who can express a concept so well
Diocanapa
lol ma che cazz
MA secondo me senza sebastian gli obscura...
Mah...
A me ha fatto un pò l’effetto “dio infinitamente porco” ma credo sia solo una cosa soggettiva
AHHAAHAHHAHAHA MA CHE CAZZO
Diepold is the cleanest drummer in metal right now. No one compares honestly.
Him and Eloy.
I just love watching drummers so relax when they blast trough the kit. Bastian Thusgard of Soilwork is also relax af while playing.
David has been killing it since his first video upload on youtube years ago. Glad to see Dave he deserves all the success that will come to him no doubt. So underated and easily the top metal drummer out there fukng destroying it.
0:04 well thats a completely new intro to say! susans egg farm, amazing!
David is a straight beast.. one of the best drummers out there hands down man.. great video samus..
I love how Samus can say "Barker" referring to drummers.. and this channel just knows hes talking about Nicolas..
Makes me always think to Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia
What other notable drummers with the name are there..?
The good Barker in drumming🤭
@@Mayhemzz I legit had to think about that for like 1 week until I found another drummer with this surname. But that guy sucks ass, so nevermind
@@xDjembex It's a Joke... We're here to have fun! And me personally, I don't like either of the barkers. Yeah they are good, but I don't like 'em.
He's been one of my favorite drummers for a while now, since I stumbled onto one of his videos randomly. He's got perfect technique and it just amazing to watch
@ 66Samus thanks for making these videos and introducing me to all these badass drummers and bands.
What I love about this video is that Samus himself is a world-class metal drummer, but his reactions are totally like an admirer's.
Finally he’s reacting to this beast
He's such a precise and fast player. I'm always extra amazed when they have the cymbals up high for recording; idk how anyone manages that.
That's the producer's dream, placing cymbals higher gets rid of a lot of the bleed coming into the tom and top snare mics, but of course the drummer is the one who has to adapt to this type of set up, although David looks very comfy regardless of cymbal hight...
Dude is so good! His Whitechapel cover is even amazing. Almost pitch perfect cymbal arrangement.
He's doing single stroke 16th notes at 280bpm, even George Kollias will start breakin a sweat at that speed...
I've been waiting for this!
He is an absolute beast. Definitely in my top 10 drummers
I have been watching David for years, people always say "well there's always someone better out there", yeah David is the someone. He's an amazing drummer. And yes I believe he's working on push/ pull with his right, I vaguely remember hearing him say that on a Marthyn video...
My favorite Drummer So Far Greetings from costa rica..
I absolutely love David's cover of Dead Set On Suicide by Cattle Decap. Such an amazing drummer!
66Samus you are really a spécial dude, i'm even not playing drums but i could hear you talk about it for hours !! Your vidéos are mesmerizing !
I remember being a big fan of David's covers of Shemhamforash and Damn Draft Dodgers years and years ago. Was super excited to hear he was joinign Obscura
dude, the winky joke had me rolling. But it is so true. I love guitar and drum fills simultaneously. It is a beautiful thing!!!
Davíd has been my top drummer for about 4 years too. Have also had lessons in the DTA. He cannot be touched for sheer perfect chops. There are a handful of drummers that can play nearly as good.
Drum god ! I love this vibe
I was thinking about this on my way to work this morning.
Like..How in the the ass haven`t Samus had a video about this amazing drummer.
And tadaaaa...A vid with just that!
Every time he does the left-handed open-close and Samus says push-pull a kitten dies.
You should react to Kai Hahto. Madman on the drums specially on wintersun. Some mad time signatures and holy blast beats.
I really like the difference in feel his two different blast beat techniques between hands produce, it gives a very human element to his playing which is so perfected it's at risk of sounding robotic
His Nile cover on his channel really showcases that well
That Last Clip from the "Hymns" Playthrough is Sick! David is a Top Notch Drummer.
Yesssss, David
I'm really really seeing him here (or in general in more reactions over the past, idk, 1½ years or so), cause he's one of the most underrated Extreme Metal Drummers, and also quite a Motivation/ Inspiration to practice as well as Influence on my playing personally (e.g. his db - techniqu, left hand in blasts, his blasts on HH only Quarter notes etc), so it's so awesome seeing him getting a little more attention.

btw, that last short clip you showed is my GO TO VIDEO when I want to watch some Diepold Drumming. Easily my favorit. Just so short :D
One of the things I noticed in the music scene with drummers is that the BEST ones are never too good to be impressed by the chops of their peers.
I really love this multi-vid reaction to one drummer. Awesome content and great reactions! just enough fan boy mixed with experienced commentary
Honestly you got to be one of the most likeable guys I watch on UA-cam! Such a cool personality dude 🤘🏼😎🤘🏼
I remember watching him covering Nile and I thought he should be in a band that I would know and now he's in obscura and man he is so good and Obscura the few songs I've heard have been the best I've ever heard from them

You meant Bruce Buffer I think
This guy inspired me to start drumming in 2014. What a monster
The Shannon Lucas shout out was prime, bro. Miss him too.
Same. Not enough people talk about him imo
@JMAAJM 557 Shannon and Alan are both fantastic and both pushed the band to the best of their ability
Shannon really influenced me (Alan is incredible too with regards to this!!) in terms of having relaxed/perfect technique & precision despite playing extremely challenging & fast music. It's like the faster & more intense the playing, the cleaner & more calculated the drummer should be to murder the song without hurting themselves.

Cognizance is so good. Definitely under the radar.
🤝🤝🤝
push pull/ molar technique is the best technique. I would love to be able to do it again like I used to
He looks so relaxed like he's buttering a piece of toast.
This getting me so hyped for new Obscura 🤘🏻
Love David Diepold…one of my favorites.Love your videos bro!
That single foot bass drum reminds me of john Bonham. So old school and really good. Awesome drummer!!!
hes insane drummer. props to you
I love your videos! Thank you! I share your videos to my peeps!
This video discovered Cognizance for me and these guys are sick!!!!
Calf Annihilator: YES
Its open close technique for the left hand, pushpull in his right hand they are differrent moves and differrent sounds open close its even on up and down stroke, push pull its louder on down stroke
Oh I fucking love the Barker fills hahaa
Now we need a reaction video on Alex Bent playing In The Court Of The Dragon!
Love your vids, man! Keep at it!

When your technique is so good that everything looks slowmotion! He looks like he can do this for hours without getting tired!
Got to do a full tour with David's old band Give Me Blood. He is in INSANELY awesome drummer for sure
Meditates death metal. He's a master of the drumset.
He articulates the parts soooo good. In a style that already by design is bonkers.
THE most relaxed monster blaster I've seen!
