If you sin in this life you come back in the next as one of Baard's drumsticks
It would be an honor to be beat the shit out of in the sake of playing this beautiful music 😆
.. Sins on purpose
lul
...or as one of his toms. there would be the empty space, the anticipation, but the certain knowledge that you will be hit very hard.
Rip yourself😂... i can drum with 1 pair of drumsticks for more then a month
That is why there is no Leprous cover bands.
His plays look so chaotic yet so accurate, it's honestly insane.
it sounds chaotic because of the time signature, absolute beast to be able to keep it up like that
@@benschmitt7035 It looks chaotic because he is actually going deep into playing it with his guts, while adding a lot of things everywhere. It seems that he doesn't repeat twice exactly the same thing. The ghost notes are always different. And yet, the foundation is rock hard. "Chaotic yet so accurate" describes it perfectly :)
He's like a young Gavin Harrison during Porcupine Tree's earlier days; at least that's what I see. As an obssessed percussionist, I would definitely wager that Baard greatly respects Gavin and has been influence by him. What makes them so similar is that their ACTUAL versatility, which is a word being thrown around too lightly. Gavin Harrison, for example, can play a metal song like Futile or What Happens Now and then turn around and play complex jazz fusion. He fused techniques and styles to create his own sound, and his drums are always impreccibly tuned. Now, if Gavin hasn't already seen this, I hope he does one day, because it's one of the best playthrough performances on youTube (THE best without that damn china miss). Think of it this way: They're both incredibly musical in how they play, and they can adapt to anything. Gavin and Baard are finesse drummers, and they're also power drummers. And they've both done, and are doing, things with a drumset that is totally unique to them.
@@adamkoyn792 Funny you mention that, as I consider both Gavin and Baard among my favorite drummers due to their ability to play powerfully, with complexity, AND with emotion. One of Neil Peart's few downsides is how sterile he could sound at times. Not this guy. Astounding.
@@packgrog said no one ever.. Neil was the man.
When the drummer is so good he has the ability to summon a second drumer to play an accompaniment!
Skills! Pure skills!
(and good mana reserves)
Pure black and white deck!
OMG, I'm dead! You said summon 🤣 Like he conjured him up 📜
@@justingray2976 Pure nordic spellcasting xD
The second drummer is Leprous' former drummer. We'll never know who summoned who 😅
@@leleoalmeida Sounds like the kind of story you'd expect from a Norwegian D&D setting: "And the Bard summoned the Baard... or was it the other way around? Roll for insight"
That head pat of approval at 2:31
The most watched part of the video too 😄 🤣
Constantly amazing move!
Every bass player knows the importance of petting, feeding, cleaning and driving your drummer to the gigs
That was stressful to me. I would get distracted lol
He looks like a dad driving a car while trying to break up his two fighting kids in the backseat during the china hitting bit.
Great comment!
best description on here.. mad song though
lol!!
😂
6:24 and there goes red traffic light
I've been saying for years that we have barely scratched the surface of what's possible in progressive rock. Leprous here have explored the possibilities on a deeper level than I have ever heard before. And yet it is so tasteful, so musical. Mind bending, yet deeply enjoyable. At this point, words fail me.
Oh my, the original post needs Adam Buxton on it.
Polyphia was the first to scratch that itch for mw
A lot of the progressive rock in the world isn't even particularly progressive anymore, it became a parody of itself in the 1970's with endless soloing and particularly cringe-worthy lyrical content.
@@Metal-Possum that's exactly what gave birth to punk
You might want to look into Animals as Leaders.
You know it's a first take when he still has his t-shirt on
100 percent emoji
in all fairness, I wasn't sure he owned shirts. Simen wears clothes on stage and in his playthroughs, so we have at minimum least anecdotal evidence of outerwear. Would very much enjoy seeing more studio scenes and some performances from Einar like Dan Tompkins demonstrating massive prowess, directly.
russell zauner Man I just imagined a Tompkins / Solberg song.. Damn ! Would be godlike.
Haha!
Whether it's the first take or the 57th.. That, my friend, is a Turtleneck. ; )
6:24 I like how he missed the hit and then got pissed off and hit the China harder next time.
hahaha and for some reason, if you try to cover it and not hit the china in that part, is not easy! haha
Lol
@@joearrue6819 Yeah, it's actually cool, a typical creative error :)
He's so real for that. I didn't even catch that, great eyes/ears
I actually loved the fact that he missed one china hit. Like... the performance is insane. Who can blame the guy!?!?!
C h i n a !
The best thing with the missed hit is that he kept missing that exact hit live as well, you can see it in the official live vid as well
It kind of works still tho
6:25 his face turning around to the China. So confused but he didn't even drag a little bit the next shot
I cant figure out why his china is SOOOOOOOOO FAAAAAAAAAR AWAY...but it turns out I'm no one to question this guy.
What a phenomenal drummer!!
Thanks
I didn't know Canelo Alvarez is very good in playing drums
What a phenomenal song!!!!!!
I think i made your butter chicken recipe on the weekend? if so, thanks you've made my lockdown bearable.
i love watching people be excellent at something
Can't believe I used to watch this guy play outside on buckets when I used to live in Oslo back in the day. Super talented bloke.
This makes my life knowing he played buckets thank you so much for this Comment
Just saw them on tour march 2024 and he was back looking like a copper thief. Playing was subliminal ngl
I'm not even a drummer and I watch this at least once every couple of weeks.
Good boy
I see your two weeks and raise you daily😀
They say that when little drumsticks behave badly their parent's tell them Baard will come and use them to play this song.
The drumstick kill ratio in this song is so fucking high LOL
11/4
Can't think of the last time I heard a track in 11, and this is so musical one can forget it's in an odd time sig. That breakdown at the end is DOPE.
Herd culling - Porcupine tree
Right in two 😖
That breakdown is freaking EVERYTHING
Outkast - Hey Ya
The intro to "Eleven" by Primus is quite nice ua-cam.com/video/7tIeS_v0hos/v-deo.html
Minimal requirements to play like Baard: two handfuls of sticks, 2 legs, 4 hands, moderate (in prog standards) drum set (china can be sourced directly if needed). Optional: shirt.
Cool, I am planning to try to learn this song, I only need another pair of hands and I'm set
yes, this is great!
Tesseract andleprous would be a great tour together!
MAKE IT HAPPEN
You're great!
God postones
When God is impressed...
I've been watching this without fail for 10 days in a row. I still can't process what's happening. This is probably one of the most interesting, technical and subtle drum compositions out there right now. Absolutely insane.
Totally. I keep seeing it in my music playlist and keep coming back to it. I think my drummer brain is trying to absorb it and not doing too well. lol
Maybe the splendid Yogev video can help?
ua-cam.com/video/lDfnhmfD3DU/v-deo.html
Still doing it? Amazing track and playing/arrangement.
im agreed with that and i consider myself a good dam good drummer
it´s so soothing to see other drummer (most likely much better drummer than i am) are feeling the same watching this insane piece of dumming.
Everybody gangsta until there’s two drummers at the drum set
You know you are drumming royalty when you have your own squire to keep you fully stocked on sticks at all times and fill in on percussion when needed.
The real beauty of this is that he elevates the drum kit beyond an instrument. You can easily forget that a human is playing the drums and accept the sounds as the chaos of emotion.
That is Exactly what is my feeling. Thank you for expressing what happened, so fine. Absolutely . Divine.
Multiple drum sticks were harmed during the making of this video
I think he went through 5 spares?!
this is the way
Not the best look for vic firth lol
He hits way too hard, it's simple. No need to ever go behind your shoulders to hit a poor crash.
@@jimmygee5 he needs promarks
This goes to show the genius of Pitfalls. Everything blends so well together that musicality and technicality becomes one. Thats why on its surface people tend to think that it's too simple compared to the older records.
Well, I think it's a very simplistic album structurally. However, it's definitely not a simple album in terms of technicality.
Yet that's not the most representative track in the album.
@@Evangelos2112 It's the most "Leprous" track of the album along with Foreigner.
wat m8, only because you got a fucking hard-on listening to the most sickest Song since 3 Years while watching Sexy Baard making funny faces you must not overrate Pitfalls at the same breath dude. Pitfalls and this masterpiece actually got nothing in common.
Pop music? Fine. They look happy
(in a sad, depressed, ahh-ahh-ahhhhh kind of way.)
I'll still buy the albums for The Sky Is Red, or Coma.
That last stick break/flip/ditch and pass was just perfection.
I just stumbled on this by mistake and it's one of the most jaw dropping things I've ever heard/seen. Thanks.
Every once in a while the stars align and musicians find themselves and do something truly unique. Leprous is one of those bands at the moment. Leprous is perfect for Baard, and Baard is perfect for Leprous.
Everyone in this band are badass in their own right. But watching this guy play is a straight shot of adrenaline. Gets my chest beating pretty hard watching him execute those poor sticks. Maybe the China is so far back cause its scared.
well i mean he missed a hit on it at 6:24, so he should probs put it in a better spot...
I’m not sure if I’m right but I think he has it back so he doesn’t over use it
@@ratsack5842 Exactly, my experience too, China's are just sounding so f*king nice to spice things up - you just want hit them all the time - which eventually makes them boring...
I saw Leprous live a few weeks ago. This dude playing live is simply incredible.
There's so many crazy good drummers out there, yet Baard stands out so much, no matter how many times I watch him perform, I am always in awe. I could have never been ready for a record such as Pitfalls, and this song is more than I could have ever hoped for from this band. Baard showed serious finesse on the drums on this record, not just speed, power and just overall ownage of his instrument. It's a privilege to watch him age and grow, it's mindblowing to see a drummer this good at such a young age. Incredible.
He's one of the few drummer out there that I think I could easily identify if I heard just the drum track. He's unique and has a lot of personality. He's still so youg and has a lot of potential, I can't wait to see him continue to improve.
I think what sets him apart from the other top young prog drummers is his compositional ability. He is on the same level as your Neil Pearts of this world. I'd say he composes drums like they are to be part of an orchestra
@@adrianbird1964 I agree, he's a very musical player, not just a time keeper.
It's like that Drummer that recorded with "Snarky Puppy", Larnell Luis. Dude get's called 2 days before recording, learns all the parts, get's on a plane and then proceeds to absolutely dominate. Different style, but the energy is there. Could you imagine being as good as either of these bastards? lol
Actually, I misread that guys. Larnell actually learned 2 songs a day before the shoot, then literally learns the rest ON THE PLAIN. Like he listened to the music and figured out what to play while he was flying. He then Landed and did the whole recording session. That fucking madness.. it reminds me of when Glen Gould did that for an orchestra performance. Monsters, both of them. ^.^;
2:30 cutest things to ever happen in any drum video ever.
this is my first time ever listening to this band Jesus ducking Christ this song is a fucjing wild ass ride
Discovered him and Leprous recently. Completely mind blown! It's rare to find such a technical yet musical drummer.
Imagine needing an assistant to hand you new sticks cause the beat is such fire it burns through sticks like there's no tomorrow
Breathtaking performance! These beats are extremely complex, I'm at a loss to describe my admiration for his skills. Even at 10:00 with a broken stick, he can keep his focus.
Saw them play this song last night. That second half of the song is insane, and the drumming is flawless.
It feels like a movie in which the bad guys are destroying everything and winning
That back half of the track is absolutely nuts. Being only the second Leprous song I’ve ever heard, I think I find myself very much hooked after that. The wailing choral tones, that strange “chirping”, the dynamics and syncopation building into that massive pseudo-breakdown…
So incredibly massive.
This dude's brain is on another plane of existence.
11/4 has never been sexier
Thanks, I was having a hard time finding the 1!
He pulls such a smooth groove out of it that it's easy to mistake for 4/4 until you start counting
Isn't it 11/8?
@@samerkamal3328 As far as I know, isn't 8th note vs quarter note purely based on interpretation? I count this most easily in patterns of 11 quarter notes, but if you count it most easily in 11 eighth notes, then yes, it'd be 11/8 time. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but as far as I can tell, it's all based on what's easiest to read/count.
Correct, cos the quarter note pulse is accented so I understand if it's easier for u to count it 11/4
Dude looks like he is gonna go Christmas tree shopping after this.
I audibly laughed at this. Thank you.
I didn't even know he owned a shirt.
😂
Not when he already lives next to the Griswolds.
Legit lol as well, at midnight
It is as if he is saving the world or fighting so that our reality does not collapse by playing like this !!
this is incredible!
:D
It's been too long since drumming scared me. Thank you.
2:30 bet even the headpat was in odd-time signature
Fuuuk this song is incredible. The drop at 5 minutes gets me every time
And this, ladies and gentlemen, is how a drum play-through video is done properly. Raw, unedited and the pure magic of being in the moment. Glorious. It gave me goosebumps all throughout the song. Bravo, Baard!
You need to get out more. Watch Sebastian Lanser play
why his splash make no noise sometimes?
It was extremely well played but it's certainly not at all raw or unedited
lmao i do agree that it's great, but please explain to me how this is "raw and unedited" lolol
if anything you can praise it for its quality sound mixing and good editing of its angles lmao
Man they really caught you with the studio Magic didn’t they? “Raw and unedited”
It’s a professionally shot and recorded video of him playing a track. The closet thing I think people would get to seeing a drum video that is completely void of any form of audio mixing, or editing; would be a single shot view of a person recording their part. I could totally see some other options though.
He still rips! Having your sound mixed and such doesn’t take away from your drumming as long as you back it up lol. He surely does.
How can u be so soft when u started playing like DAT... its just MAGIC
He was completely possessed by the end of it. Brilliant artist 🎨
Damn dude, so killin!
Now it's your turn to explore what he's doing! lol
Sungazer cover when?
Gib Gas lieber Michael Schumacher 😅
What a talented and underrated drummer. He has a huge vocabulary for drumming, and I think he's well on his way to becoming one of the best of all time.
i mean this is insane. his playing on the guitar solo section at 5:01 is ridiculous. such an amazing song as well!
This playthrough never fails to give me chills. It always gets me itching to get better on the drums
Can't remember the last time I heard an ending so majestic as this in a song.
Their song Slave is even more majestic!
imagine being so good at drums that no one makes fun of you for wearing a turtleneck........
Is it really something funny?
It's a tactleneck!
Turtlenecks are beautiful fashion pieces!
Because Scandinavia
i'm quietly confident that matt halpern has the same philosophy with his v-necks...
This is one of the most exemplary drumming videos on the internet, and if you disagree, you're wrong.
10:00 breaks stick, Looks for another stick, flips stick, handed another stick, all while keeping the crazy beat in place! ... pure genius!!
I am absolutely hooked and transfixed by this incredible performance. I have been listening to great music for more than 50 years and am frequently blown away by wonderful musicality and virtuosity - this is one of those occasions. Awesome does not do it justice!!
Ive heard a ghost note before but never a ghost nut til now
There was a ghost cymbal in there too
Baard- uh, ba- Baard you.. you can move the china clos- *misses china* ah see i told ya
exactly what I was thinking, bwahaha!
Recording directions of the engineer
@@alexanderchaker Then the engineer is utterly incompetent. No matter where a china is in the room it will bleed.
The whole recording of the drums (if this is the original mix) is awful. No presence to the drums.
Just a stupid position. Amazing drummer. You'd think he would know better.
Nah bro fuck that China
This is a modern masterpiece.
"To play a wrong note is insignificant; to play without passion is inexcusable."
- Ludwig van Beethoven. Looks like this guy gets it 100%.
Baard Kolstad and Matt Gatska are definitely two of the best drummers of this generation...
New Dark Souls Boss:- Baard, The Destroyer Of Drumsticks. Attacks in 11/8, absolute fucking night-terror 😆
Love the pat at 2:31 XD
Didn't notice that, thanks for the timestamp! Hahaha that's awesome.
That was wholesome 💯
I do believe this is one of the best "prog" compositions ever made. Everything is fucking perfect, awesome and just..did I mention awesome? Yes.
Constant pulse note on hi-hat despite everything else that's going on. Brilliant and highly under-rated drummer and band.
What a powerful performance! Not only from a technical drumming aspect, but I feel the drumming style with exaggerated hand movements totally suits both the drummer and the music.
Baard Klostad is on of the best inspirations drummer of all time ! Thanks Baard ( from Québec City )
Flo Mournier 😉
Landryx also?
Few musicians are able to become their music as much as this man
Jesus, I havent given leprous a fair enough chance of a listen. This is visceral, his dragged hits at the end are so incredibly musical. God this is the shit!
I want to write drum parts like this but I’ve barely scratched the surface.
What a ridiculously legendary performance.
Her igjen, og jeg fortsetter å lytte til den, er jeg fortsatt fanget i denne sangen, rett og slett spektakulær.
Oh my god that is INSANE!! Two drummers on the kit... Massive drum stick breakages... Mind-boggling polymeters.. MASTERPIECE 🔥
I've been a guitarist all my life. In some way I listen to all music in perspective of guitar. This drum performance changed that.
I happened to watch this completely by accident when browsing through Get Good Drums drum loop libraries. I was a fan of Baard from Randezvous Point and didn't know he had a library with GGD and this playthrough was highlighted. I hit play two weeks ago and I have not looked back. This song has been playing at least twice a day in that time as well as absolutely devouring Leprous' catalog. Baard is genuinely one of the most interesting and effective drummers I have ever heard. This song is a gift.
I wish I could Like this more than once. I've lost track of how many times I've watched this video.
I think I've probably watched this at least 35 times or so in two days.. What a masterpiece.
same happened here
and after 2 month, still cant stop watching
@@amina1558 yeah, m still here too. Lol
@@retrohipster994 ahahaha great
I may be catching up!! Extraordinary how a piece of music and associated video can blow you away completely. Awesome stuff!! I love the points where his hair gets ruffled and he throws away his broken stick.
Hi-hat: exists*
Baard Kolstad: "It's free real estate."
6:41 till end is one of the most interesting crescendos I've had the pleasure of listening to. So heavy. So dark. So intruguing.
You can't not admire his sheer prowess behind the kit. Him, Tor and Einar just makes the band.
One of the best drummers alive right now in my opinion.
I'm old. After many watches, I can't help but remember Buddy Rich vehemently despised match grip, I think this performance stands vindicated. Baard plays like a composer on a podium of orchestral moment of greatness.
that last few seconds where he slows down the beat on the ride cymbal is the most epic for me, ideal ending for the song.
One of the most insanely cool and perfect drum playthroughs I've seen ❤ So tight throughout... my brain is nearly fried from the complexity of it 😀 Also love Baard's face when he missed the cymbal at 6:25 😄And damn, literally breaking a stick in half!!! 🤯
Pawq0 yeah man, the miss and stick break was epic! You nailed it when you said complexity! So much going on...simply awesome!!!
Perfect example of: 'How far can I push polyrythms / odd meters while still sounding great and accessible?'
Never seen so much complexity, with this kind of precision and innocence, all in one frame!!!
Still the Drummer that sound's like 3000 thousand Drum sets in one Drum Solo,,, Good on you 🥁Baard 🤘 Kolstad👌 your Simply the Best & Iconic,,, Drummer of 🇳🇴Norway🇳🇴...
I'm super impressed not only with his playing ability but with the teamwork at play here, from that tom bit near the beginning to the flawless stick swap at the end, who can say their band has their back like that? Absolutely incredible. I don't even care that he missed the cymbal that one time, definitely one of the most impressive drum playthroughs I've seen.
slowed video down to 0.75x speed to see what Baard is doing.
discovers an extremely GROOVY version on this song.
YES
😀
Wow that genuinely is super groovy slowed down like that. Great tip! 😄
haha holy shit you're right
The most inventive drummer since the Professor. Everything he constructs is fluid and powerful.
I haven't been this impressed for quite some bloody ages!
his dynamic range is from "ghost notes" to "f*&k this stick" :D - love this performance.
I mean, seriously. This is authoritative playing. If you don't like this you don't like drumming.
This man is responsible for the death of more trees than Ikea
He poured his soul into this one
Baard is one of, if not THE, best drummers out there right now
I've never seen anything like that... I watched that over and over again for the last months... and it still gives me chills.
Deathcore bands can only wish to have such breakdowns as this song. Holy shit that bangs
I’m in love with the left drum stick that literally explode at 9.59 , right on the beat with the apocalyptic choir behind aha 😁
Song of the year, in my book
These leprous songs are getting stuck in my head.. so catchy and moving.. amazing band. Music never fails in my eyes and ears.. theres always something around the corner, just waiting to amaze us all. Leprous being one of them bands.. 😊
Came here by accident - Holey-Cow! Just love the hi-hat playing alone - awesome!
How many drums sticks you need in this video?
Baard: Yes!
The bottom Hi-Hat is exposed and totally shredding the sticks. That combined with him hitting pretty hard and not giving a single f... ;)

@@DaniDrumGe Fuck off. Vic Firth makes the best sticks. Period.
Did you catch that action at 10:00? LOL
