Drums & Coffee 🥁☕
Andrew
They wear masks so the listener focuses on the music not the players
Everybody is gangsta until Darkside start playing cymbals.
HAHA!
Behave 😄
he just dropped new video today,
Mgła - "Age of Excuse I" drum rehearsal
ua-cam.com/video/9MXb8dh-Wkw/v-deo.html
and its fckn Insane !!!
man, I need a Tshirt with that legend: Everybody is gangsta... (front) ...until Darkside starts playing cymbals. (back)
@@malteadotas4 Give the idea to Mgla merch ;)
They wear black and cover their faces because they believe that the music is more important than the show and wan't people to focuse on the music. Love these guys.
I love that pure music ethos!
Fuck yes. I appreciate bands who do this. Also, this dude is a style beast.
It's also a pretty sweet black metal aesthetic.
Take bands like Deathspell Omega or Blut aus Nord. They don't play live at all, nobody knows who the members are (maybe except Mikko Aspa), yet they are leading forces in the genre. No publicity, only music. That's what I call dedication.
They should just play behind a curtain if that's the point
Great reaction! Just to be clear, Darkside is the drummer, Mgla is the band, Exercises in Futility V is the name of the song and Brutal Assault 2019 is the festival where the video was filmed. Cheers!
And the V is a Roman 5.
Thanks Nicolas. I always try and go in with zero info so I'm not predisposed to anything.
I did look at those details later on.
Thank you so much!
Aaaaaand they are far right nationalists
@@thyart8965 False
@@DrNieglowicz No its True. Check your facts. Especially the drummer is
He's a former xylophonist. That explains his long sticks and this awesome feel for cymbals.
WOW!
i cannot immagine this
@@beardedmanace4942 he has Said this in an interview
That explains everything, thanks
@ws 2019 😂😂😂 lol
That is wild info; dollars to donuts hes the only metal drummer who can claim that.
One of those drummers who have developed their own, easily recognizable style, without overplaying, with the dramaturgy of the song, with cymbals parts often creating an additional melodic line
Nice observation Waldek!
Well said.
"without overplaying"
You haven't heard much of his other work, have you? He's gets at times a bit disruptive on Kriegsmachine.
@@TessaTestarossa I know KriegsmaSchine pretty well, here I was referring to Mgła
@@TessaTestarossa
Different styles for different acts.
MGŁA MEANS FOG IN POLISH AND POLISH BLACK METAL RULES FOREVER
Thanks :)
And in Russian mgla (мгла) means "darkness". Love the band.
There's another "foggy" band. TAAKE means also fog.
great Polish Black Metal! Just search this in youtube:
БАТЮШКА - ИРМОС IV (LIVE STREAM VERSION) BATUSHKA - IRMOS IV
@@GODSPEEDseven That's fake Батюшка. The true one has 2 albums:
Litourgiya 2015
Panihida 2019
I don’t know a drummer alive who could resist cracking a smile during this vid when Darkside starts to shred.
HAHA! Yup!
I do, myself. Nothing special about hitting lots of cymbals son.
@@The-Clockwork-Eye you make it sound like he's just hitting a bunch of cymbals and not also nailing an infectious as well as intensive beat...no this is not top tier chopping, but especially with respect to black metal, he has a fun thing going on. I meant my comment figuratively of course. You didn't crack the slightest grin watching Darkside play, did you? You grizzled icy bastid! 😉
Hell I'm not a drummer (but have the utmost respect for drummers, especially those in the black, blackened death and death metal genres)....I was like chilling out to this video then he got to the killer cymbal work... all while still making sure to get that snare hit in.
I can imagine thousands laughing at his fake foot technique and trigger "sound". A Butterfly could play harder.
Band: Mgła
Drummer: Darkside (Maciej Kowalski)
Song: Exercises in Futility V

Live it❤
I have to say it, "Brutal Assault" is metal festival in Czech Republic, not the name of the song.
Thanks Marcin!
I love the czech republic
It's a badass festival too, wish I could attend it one of these days.
@@behindthen0thing And we love you!
"in this heavy style of music, which is not my bag, I'm always interested in just how well these guys can play! "
_two minute cymbal bell suite with nonstop machine gun double bass_
Yup!
Darkside is definitely not the fastest drummer. I don't think he wants to be either. But he always plays relaxed, focused with great patterns on the cymbals.
Yes for sure. Speed isn't everything. A lot to be said for ideas and execution!
Yup III and IV totally demonstrate the cymbal patterns
He plays fast with high precision.
Mgla is so god damn good. Absolute dark energy crystalized in music.
That's it Jeff! Very intense
Blessed be the Cymbals
HAHA
Blessed are the sickmbals
That backbeat during the chorus always makes me goosebumps. Darkside is a cymbal magician. Also his drumming creating huge tension from the beggining of the song, love it!
About the masks. As it was stated by Mgła's frontman: "One of key approaches within Mgła is removal of aspects that we consider unnecessary. In this case, it is ourselves as individuals. The use of masks is an attempt to get rid of the rock n’ roll heritage of musicians being “idols” or “heroes”. Instead, Mgła live is an unit, where “who does what” is of little relevance.”
Great info!!!
Would have been more radical to do this in the 80s. The Rock Star is a dead symbol now, you can’t just shoot up and bang 1000s of 17 year olds anymore
Without Darkside, Mgla would he nowhere near the top of their genre. Absolute goosebumps when he gives it his all at the end there.
Awesome Henry
Darkside is musically flawless. He always serves the song perfectly. And with incredible creativity and originality.
At first I was like this drummer is basic BUT Then this guy is in another level , different for his cymbal playing skills. In other words this dude is insane
He's awesome!
Darkside used to play Xylophone, that's why he's so technically great at hitting different things :)
Oh wow Harrison!
Residual Blight by Kriegsmachine....He drums for them as well you WILL not be disappointed
Kriegsmachine is no way near as good as mgla.
@@validus5808 heresy!
Thanks Jon!!!
That song blew my mind
@@validus5808 Kriegsmachine and MGŁA have same members :)
5:41 They are against celebrity worshiping crap etc. They are all about music. M. (Mgła leader) explained it in some interview : - We wear hoodies and leather jackets, effectively making us indistinguishable from 90 percent of the audience - the only difference is that our faces are draped. We seek uniformity to remove the ego of our person, leaving nothing but a vessel - a tool. On stage we’re not individuals, we are a unit.
Wow Steve! Love it
i think your average listener would not think much about the drumming on this song, but as a musician my self this guys use of dynamics is increadible i love it when musicians regardless of instrument excersize the awesome nuances to their playing. solid song writing/playing
It's been a while since I watched this. Need to catch some more James!
One of the best songs ever made.
Love the passion!
Agree
Blessed be... the reactions.
Yup :)
Hi.. Song is called Exercises in Futility V (as five). Brutal Assault is a festival in Czech Republic.
I was on this particular show. Imagine crowd of 20 000 people watching the podium, not making a single sound, not dancing, moshing or anything just watching and listening. I had to move to the exit by the last minute of this song and after the whole show (about 1 hour) i noticed how eerie the atmosphere on the concert really was.
Sounds amazing Miroslav!
It's so cool how he finds a way to fill every little space with something. Keeping the back beat consistent through all those paradiddle inversions is crazy as hell too. Big respect to such a unique approach to black metal drumming.
Can't wait to check out some more!
Gave me goosebumps when he says "here we go", and the double kicks starts!
Yes Guilherme!
What I love I love about Darkside is he never misses a beat, especially those snare hits. He's a robot by the way
I believe it!
Robot octopus.
In several live concerts that guy literally never missed. Even in the other band he plays in Kriegsmaschine he literally does not miss. He's a great talent and I'm proud as a black metal fan that he's doing something different than blast beats.
MGLA is pronounced ''m-gwah'' or ''mougwah'', which means ''mist'' in Polish. The music is the fifth music of Exercices In Futility album, hence ''Exercises in Futility V''. Brutal Assault is the festival.
Cheers from France
Aaaand... many other pointed out this before me lol. My bad for the useless comment xD
No prob. Thank you for helping out!
you can also try to spell it like French word "moi" and put "g" sound like first letter of "good" into it ;)
The song is called “Exercises in futility V”.
“brutal assault” is the name of the festival. 😉
Yup got it 👌
@6:00 what's to say? You have joined everyone else who watched that cymbal work for the first time and we all just stared in curious amazement. First time I saw it, I completely lost track that the drummer was still hitting the snare. I could hear it but completely lost track of him hitting it. Great video
THANKS Tyler!!!
Happy to see a great reaction despite it not being your main genre! Mgla are insane. One of the tightest bands around for a long ass time.
Yo thanks!
Great reaction. MGLA is one of my favourite Bands, it means "Mist" in polish language. You need to check out Inferno, the drummer of Behemoth
Thanks for that!
@Дмитрий Красный Ok. Cool. I dont know this fact.
Fog is a better translation for Mgła :) Mist mean ,,zamglenie" in polish :)
Don't know if you are aware of this but their vocalist is an antisemite (published an album called "free of jews" with antisemitic and racist lyrics) and MGŁAs band members are friends with a bunch of NSBM Artists and were signed by the label "Northern Heritage" that is run by Mikko Aspa who associates with NSBM Bands too.
@@corvus1768 No, I didn't know that.
"BYŁO CYMBALISTÓW WIELU, ALE ŻADEN Z NICH NIE ŚMIAŁ ZAGRAĆ PRZY MACIEJU"
"There was many cymbalist, but none of them dared to play in front of Maciej"
Adam Mickiewicz - Pan Tadeusz (polish national poem no.1) paraphrase (it was Jankielu instead Macieju in original)
BTW: Maciej (Darkside) used to be a Xylophonist, therefore he's so good with cymbals I guess.
3:40, the festival is called brutal assault. the song is Exercises in futility V by MGLA :)
Yup got it now!
One of the most underrated drummer, so talented. Brilliant band
I've been trying to bring attention to anyone willing to listen to what is Darkside.
@@Mors_Atra_ He is impeccable. Keep spreading the word too! 🤘👍
What is another one of his I should check out?
Mgła!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This song just blows me away, and seeing Darkside kill it live just proves how excellent this band truly is.
Need to see more from Him Kaitlyn
Amazing! I can’t believe you did this band and this specific song! Amazing drummer. Thanks!
YOU BET
I'm sixty-two. If I could only hear one song for the rest of my life, Exercises in Futility V would be the one.
WE ARE PROUD OF OURS METAL BANDS. HAIL POLAND
Good on you!
Слава Польскому Народу⚡
Those cymbals sounding like Micheal J. Fox holding a windchime. What a legend.
This guy deserve much more recognition! Thanks for reaction to this!
No problem 😊
He once stated in an interview that Danny Carey (I hope I got that right) from Tool is one of his favourite drummers... I think it shows...
Oh right!
I wasn't aware Mgla did interviews.
@@13tuyuti Yes they do (for example German magazine Legacy), but his Tool-comment was a reply he made under one of his few UA-cam videos, if I remember correctly.
Seen this in Birmingham live 2 weeks ago. Great seeing your favourite drummers live hits different
100%!!
Absolutely outstanding playing. Totally amazing. The dynamics are just insane
Couldn't agree more!
Metal probably got most of the best drummers in a whole music world.
Good video,man.Cheers from Indonesia!
Thanks for watching!
MGLA is pronounced Mgwah if I'm not mistaken
Yes, that's correct! 😉
however, polish people will always correct me, no matter how hard I try to pronounce it correctly.
@@beardedmanace4942 Don't worry, you'll learn easily
@@beardedmanace4942 Polish children start to pronounce "mgła" correctly at the age of 10 so take it easy 😉
Thank you guys,, I myself have been calling them MGLA lol... Sending Love From Pakistan to All Polish brothers and friends in METAL \m/
darkside the cymbal legend. really love his work. started out with kriegmaschine, now mgla is the famous band, even though it was a project at first.
for me he did something new in black metal. the cymbal work is rare and he implemented it perfectly.
Yes it's very tasty!
Great reaction!! Really insightful and fun watching someone react to my favorite drummer
GREAT! Thank you!
Love this band, thanks for featuring them and this outstanding drummer. :)
Rock on!
Should have reviewed him playing Age of Excuse I ...😉🖤 Can not shake the loyalty of fans to Darkside and MGLA
More on the way!
The drumming on Exercises in Futility and Age of Excuse albums is pretty good, but the drumming he does on the Kriegsmaschine albums is on another level. Residual Blight from Apocalypticists is worth checking out.
Sounds good!!!
Totally agree. Amazing stuff.
Great commentary! As a wannabe drummer (a keyboardist myself) I've been watching this video a lot and it's nice to see a reaction video about this. The overhead hits give me goosebumps every time. Such a great song.
AWESOME! Love the passion
I like your vibe and your unbiased criticism mr Rooney. Happy to suscribe and see what's gonna pop up next mate. great job!
Hey thanks Gerson!!!
Plenty of vids in the archive now. And a tonne on the way!
I've heard that Darkside was initially a xylophone player. I don't know if that explains anything about his skillset or the way he holds the sticks. He's certainly one of the most talented drummers in black metal.
Explains the melodic playing
This is the video I subscribed for
YESSSSS
he's even more impressive with Kriegsmachine (check Residual Blight !) great content btw, cheers Andrew!
Bit of further info for you Andrew, the song is from the album Exercises In Futility- they've always named their songs as the name of the album and a roman numeral for pretty much their entire discography, besides a couple of early demos.
Thanks so much!!!
I always love watching reaction videos cause the moment the songs transition you can see the look of amazement that you felt the first time you heard it as well.
LOVE IT
You should check out Kevin Paradis cover of Kriegsmaschine - Residual Blight. Kriegsmaschine consists of members of Mgła (M and Darkside). That cover really shows how insane Darkside really is, as Kriegsmaschine is more about rhythm compared to Mgła. There is a part in that song, where Darkside even felt forced to upload a playthrough of it, because people kept saying it was fake/layered.
That effing back beat maintained throughout is sick and the star of this. Great vid.
Couldn't agree more Scott!
Thank you very much for this reaction!!!
No problem 😊
Im really not that into this type of music, but i absolutely love the 'bell' work!
Great to hear Zach!
@@AndrewRooneyDrums My brother is a life long professional drum teacher, but he's had a lot of bad luck all his life and now just cant afford to teach drums now, cant seem to find enough students
Im excited for this one!
Finally got to it!!!
@@AndrewRooneyDrums The guy's posture seems to be perfect and relaxed.
@@AndrewRooneyDrums Don't know if you've done this yet, but have a listen/look at ua-cam.com/video/HI9LC1tTMBQ/v-deo.html
Hope you liked it. For me this is one of - if not the best - metal albums to come out in the last decade. Ive probably spun this album a thousand times by now, but Ive personally never had the chance to see them live, nor have I watched them play in a video til today. To me its super cool to see him chain the cymbal hits together that quickly and intricately by being comfortable enough to swap hands for snare hits. I love how that cymbal play really just grabs me and pulls me along during the relentless grind that is this album.
The cymbal work got me hooked on this song and now they're one of my favorite bands
Kindly asking to check at ULCERATE - Dead Oceans [Live Drum Playthrough]
:) Yea i know about the podcast now ^^
Thanks for the request!
Going to do my duty and agree.
It wouldn't be UA-cam without someone else putting their opinion in the comment so here it is: If Jamie Saint Merat is behind the kit, you're in for a treat that incorporates few blast beat(s).
THIS
this^ was low key shocked that there's nothing on Ulcerate in the channel given they are Kiwis.
agreed. Ulcerate kills
It might look like hes gripping high on the stick because he's using longer sticks. A lot of death and black metal drummers use heavier, longer sticks as they have more momentum for things like blasts. Lets you relax a bit more while you're playing as counter-intuitive as it sounds.
AHHHH GREAT point!
Brutal Assault is my favourite Mgła track of all the times.
HAHA
excellent, I liked it. I'll take it on board)) a good way to diversify extreme drumming
Thanks for watching
The hand techniques with the long fast double bass pattern is incredible. Huge stamina. Controlled and Solid drumming.
I was there, great show..and tje whole festival is awesome
Excellent Toni!
Brutal Assault is the name of the Festival, the song is Exercices in Futility and the band is MGLA
THANK YOU!!!!
@@AndrewRooneyDrums The song's name is Exercises in Futillity V (as in five), the album is called Exercises in Futility. All their songs follow that scheme.
I just realized im not even subbed to you, had to get that fixed right away. Sorry it took a while haha. Nice reaction man and im glad you liked the drumming, I just found this band a little while ago (thanks to my little brother) and fell in love with their music.
Thanks for the sub!
I look forward to checking out more Waldo!
Definitely one of my favorites and I watch it quite often such a very solid tempo while Cymbol work is quite tasteful and precise.
Just enough without overplaying.
Looks like he's using fairly long sticks? Have to agree with your comments. Nice observations. 👍
Thanks for watching!
I'm gonna throw this out there. This music is so huge, epic, with such space and emotion and personal focus, I want to write a "musical" with this type of music. Not a typical happy musical, not a campy funny "scary" musical but one that deals with real themes of darkness, hopelessness, betrayal, war. I listened to a lot of music on deployment from a portable cd player. Lamb of God was the music of my time spent in Fallujah, and this music speaks lyrically and musically in a way no other form can touch. If someone can put one together, send me venue info. I'm there.
MGLA THE BEST BLACK METAL BAND IN MILKY WAY
🥁🤜
Great reactions, and nice to hear bands I haven't heard before. Those snare hits in the outro part where out of this world. Since you like reacting to metal drummers, you might want to check out Ken Bedene from Aborted. Something like Divine Impediment drum cam from Czech Reb 2018. I'm sure someone from your Patreon will suggest it eventually anyway. Greetings from literally the other side of the world.
Hope to get to it!
Dude....that man is INCREDIBLE! On point.
That is strange. Didn't know about this song or band until a student asked me to teach him the guitar parts. I was teaching it yesterday!
HAHA! Awesome
So, mgła is reaching you 😅. Misty days are straight ahead
"Mgwa" means in Polish "fog" or "mist" if I'm correct
@@annagumenyuk5265 Fits with the esthetic
This kind of react is far more interesting than those who only make a "scene"
Thanks for watching!
They have another band called Kriegsmaschine and Darkside pushes the kit even further, if you can believe it. ❤
I'll have to check it out
This band is somewhat of an anomaly. As far as the drummer, Darkside is the absolute epitome of proper stance and technique when he plays. His balance and solid presence is second to none. As far as his playing he is the most tasteful black metal drummer I have ever heard. He is apart of the band and does only what the SONG calls for which is very hard to find in a genre built on the "LOOK AT ME LOOK AT LOOK AT ME! LOOK HOW FAST I CAN PLAY!! style of music. Sometimes you need to chill and play the song. Not to mention the 2 finger salute to the crowd after finishing. Such a humble guy.
You should check - Kriegsmachine where Mgła drummer also plays; take for instance "Residual blight" from Apocalipticists LP; same guy but plays differend there; Your jaw wil smash concrete floor !!! And then big,big smile will appear !!!
Great!
One of the most impressive pieces of drumming I've ever seen
Every video I see of Darkside, every time, the cymbal work amazes me to no end.
Yup!
Absolutely amazing drummer 👊
Yes Jarek!
😂 brutal assault is the festival, the band is Mgla and the song is Exercises in Futility V as in five, from the album Exercises in Futility. But you gotta admit that metronomic snare beat with left and right hands is top class.
100% David! Freaking amazing
the band is from Poland and the band name is pronounced like mgwah.
Wow. Thank you!!!
Means fog in Polish
was waiting for this.
We are here!
Damn no way, he has only two arms? I always just assumed that he was actually an octopus with the way he plays those cymbals and still manages to be spot on with the snare.
Someone it would be cool to see you check out, is Hellhammer from Mayhem, with the drumcam video of the song My Death.
Thank you!
The rest of their music is just as amazing!
The song is called BRUTAL ASSAULT hahahaha you crushed it ma man🤣🤣🤣
React to "ABORTED@Necrotic Manifesto-Ken Bedene-live in Brutal Assault 2016 (Drum Cam)"
One of the best extreme metal drummers
Cheers!
Thank you!!!
Perhaps a bit too late but a few Polish bands wear face-coverings to remain anonymous while performing songs regarding certain topics. Black metal is inherently a controversial genre and seeks to talk about the unspeakable. MGLA's nihilistic (truly anti-nihilistic) and misanthropic messages are in throws with the Polish Catholic government which has attempted to persecute bands such as Behemoth and the Polish MSM has attempted to shut down venues of bands such as Marduk (falsely believed to be Nationalist Socialist because of creating songs regarding the German side of the Second World War). Enjoyed the video mate, cheers!
WOW! Amazing info!
darkside is toooo fuckin sick. I spin “exercises” on the turntable whenever I put off chores and it fuckin FIRES ME UP. Mgla is too good
Great stamina and control not to overbearing very solid man
Yes Roland!
Now you have to check out John Longstreth from Origin...
Thank you!
Please do anything by Lord Marco! If you're really digging the technical metal drums, he has his own UA-cam channel. I recommend: Hunhau Mitnal- "Creador y Formador". He does it blind folded with no triggers
Oh my God yes. That song or Chain of command/oppression or bleak flesh unique Cosmic inaccuracy
Yes we need Lord Marco here!
Thank you!
Focussed on patron requests at the moment. I'm sure a patron will pick it sooner or later!
@@AndrewRooneyDrums Do it. Or else...
... all your gigs will be on the top floor
that cymbal fill in reminds me the late jimmy sullivan "the rev" in almost easy
"Brutal Assault" is the festival at which it was filmed. I was at that gig, it was awesome.
