Hey! Check out my REACTION PLAYLIST...
ua-cam.com/play/PLqspKksRqaUURy8K34sBSKvuGo3ApmLC2.html
You should react to Baards old video where he plays with his teacher Guideon Anderson.
ua-cam.com/video/IxTK-L2vL_k/v-deo.html
Matt McGuire Zomboy neon grave remixes! REACT
Love the fact he doesn't edit out mistakes, many musicians on you tube will only show perfection, but this has broken sticks missed cymbals and most of all feeling and passion
Oh wow man. 100% AGREE!!!
same in other videos. he is amazing
For information as a norwegian guy:
This guy was on Norwegian's got talent when he was like 13 years old and he was amazing already then. He kept on growing through the years. I'm so happy he ended up in the correct side of music! His talent requires a prog band.
That truly is cool
Amen!
Took a lesson with Baard while he was touring (a bit odd since I'm a bass player) and he mentionned Gavin Harrison is indeed one of his favorite drummers
YESSSSS
What's he like? I bet he's a great guy. Great drummers are always very humble :)
@@AndrewRooneyDrums Of course. He usually gets asked about technique but I was mostly interested in his borderline alien creativity. He showed genuine interest in the song sketch (in 11) I brought asking how he'd approach it.
"Bit of a street magician vibe" you cant believe how true is that lmao. He was a street drummer before being discovered. So he was definetely a street magician :)
YES! HAHA
Ho- ly - cow. Never heard of this band before. I am an instant fan. That was amazing, and not just the drummer. BRB, gotta go look up the entire discography....
Welcome to the Leprous club, mate. Their latest album, Pitfalls, is more prog rock meets lots of pop and alternative styles. Malina is more straight-forward prog rock with a few surprises. Everything from The Congregation backwards has more and more metal. Enjoy ;)
Best album imo is Bilateral.
How did you like it?
@@gluonpa6878 god tier album. I like all of their albums saved for tps and the newest one (too poppy for me)
Their song the flood did that for me
Baard was first discovered in UA-cam like over a decade and a half ago.
Just a normal kid playing drums on the streets of Oslo... now this.
AMAZING!
@@AndrewRooneyDrums The dude was playing The Dance of Eternity by Dream Theater at like 15 years old haha. Baard is probably one of the best young drummer out there, what a beast.
@@AndrewRooneyDrums He also did Norway's Got Talent in 2009
ua-cam.com/video/hkmTQzbw6eE/v-deo.html
Also see playthroughs on Sky is Red and The Price by Simen Borven, for the bass/rhythm geeks.
LaurieTraski he´s always been amazing. I played at a youth band competition many many years ago with my band, and he was there with his band too. He was like 15 at the time or something. Smoked us lol. Was insanely good even back then.
As a guitar player I love watching good drummers perform. I could do this all day.
I like guitarists!!!
Baard goes through sticks almost literally like they were going out of style. Theres a few videos where he'll just look at a stick and toss it away.
HAHA! Amazing!
This song is literal perfection. Love Baard and Leprous. He’s so expressive when he plays, which I love.
YES Jen!
You're 100% right
For me his best play through is Moon. It is just incredible. Always changing almost without repeat.
Thanks Roland! I'll try check it out :)
@@AndrewRooneyDrums Moon is a must see :O ! Illuminate and Coma play through are amazing too
Nah, the sky is Red is a much better playthrough in my opinion, his playing improved so much
@@alexandremarchand8815 The polyrhythms in Illuminate get me so hyped
Agree
So I think he answered why the china is behind him on instagram. Basically he's only supposed to use it for that one section of that song, but if it's in his line of sight he WILL hit it, so he put it behind him so he could only hit it when he absolutely had to. Hence why it looks so ridiculously uncomfortable when he is playing it xD
Love it!
@@AndrewRooneyDrums the best way to describe his style I think is "controlled chaos" 😂 he definitely has some kind of ADD or something, I think he's even made jokes about it on Instagram too. So asking him to only play a certain cymbal in a very specific part of a song was a big ask, but dammit he was going to deliver!
Wow. This one really got me. I'm still singing the slow part at the end over and over as I go about my day...
Thanks for watching. Have a great day everyone!!!!
Oh mannn what an experience ey! That bit at the end is 11/4 for the cymbals, what a groove though!
If you get time to check Nathan Bulla out, his playing on the song "Dream Elixir" is so fluid (the band is called Auras and its heavy prog) ua-cam.com/video/v7fat24j7jA/v-deo.html
You definitely should check out Gavin Harrison's Threatening War play through for great dynamics.
If you want to take a break from all this slow paced easy listening metal, check out Nils ”dominator” Fjällström - Dark funeral - vobiscum satanas (drumcam), I know no other guy that hits as hard at that speed
@@kastapostgard5306 On the way Kasta!
@@TwoandaHater Thank you!
I have become completely obsessed with this song, after watching the drum playthrough. Its a masterpeice imo.
6:19 - 6:45
your transitions of your face here is exactly my experience every time i listen to this guy play. he's a monster and truly an inspiration in the same!
edited to include the rewind LMFAO
Great Sam!
You should really check out Leprous' live performance of Slave from Rockefeller Music Hall where they are two drummers on stage. The band's old drummer and Baard, who is the new one playing simultaneously in sync!
Sounds epic Eirik!
Awesome performance!
One of the songs from that gig you mention is ‘Contaminate me’ with two drummers and Ihsahn as a guest singer. One of the most intense moments in metal if you ask me. An out of this world performance!
I'm not sure if you're aware of this or not but as far as I understand it, the second part of the song....Baard was sent that guitar loop which was recorded in free-time with no particular beat used or even thought of...He then wrote a complete drum part to match around that. How he found a steady pulse in there is beyond me!
Wow!! I'm Norwegian. I love prog rock(favorit bands Pink Floyd, Porcupine Tree) and i have never heard this band before.... Leprous. So tonight i have to fire up my Tidal, and get to know this awesome sounding prog rock band from my own homeland. So weard that i have totaly missed out on a band that's very much up my alley, from my own backyard(Norway's a small country with only about 5 million people) And this drummer reminded me a bit of Gavin Harrison to Andrew. Thank you for opening my eyes and ears for this drummer and band. And thank you for a cool youtube channel.🎶❤👍
Leprous is an all time favorite for me
ghost notes everywhere and well put
Yes Levi!
Your patreons picked a good one but who is this guy impersonating Baard AND wearing a shirt? We Leprous fans know Baard is always shirtless.
HAHA! Nice Daniel
This is some next level music. Impressive to maintain that level of ”feel” in such technical music.
Baard made a post about your reaction on his instagram account... 👍
WHAAAAA!?
Is it just me, or at 7:08 the ghost notes also increase in intensity upon returning to this groove? Sick!
"I'm thinking of a number"
Baard the Magician: 11
That was it!
Leprous is truly a great band. My favorite band alongside Tool. I’ve seen them live 7 times (5 with Baard as drummer) and they’re killing it live. Every time! Go see them live if you get the chance.
Btw; they were recording near my hometown Ålesund this summer, and I got to spend an evening with Baard and their bassplayer Simen. Pretty awesome for a hardcore fan like me🥳🥳
Anyways; great reaction!
That's incredible man. Memories for life. Nice one!
I've seen then live at Download festival 2019 in Madrid. Excellent set. Bonus Massive Attack cover. Tool was there next night. Sick Festival.
He swings like he's driving railroad spikes!!
😂👌💯
Probably the 10th time I've watched this. On my top five drum videos for the drumming and the music.
This piece of music is absolutely mesmerizing, one of the best "prog" compositions ever!!!!! Gives me goosebumps every time!!!
Man... The way Baard moves around the drum set, is like he is conducting his own symphony.. Amazing drummer!
for me, i think "Moon", is his greatest playthrough. I highly recommend watch this.Very impressive technics & dynamics. And his Drum Composition really touched me. Thanks for your reactions. You certainly got a new subscriber.
Thanks so much Alan!
that whole last part of the song, goddamn. "What time signature do you want to play?" Baard: "Yes". "oh ok, how about subdivisions, how many you wanna throw in?" Baard: "yes".
Yes Tyler!
Thanks for the shoutout and awesome pronunciation! Definitely see some Gavin Harrison in the playing, but I love that Baard really hits hard! It seems like he needs to feel every hit with his whole body and uses full body rebound, if that makes sense.
Perfect reaction to the ruffling of the hair and all those broken sticks 😂
HAHA!
Phew. Glad I got your name correct.
Thanks for the support brother!!!!
Your reaction to the fill at 6:22 is right. Also made me lol. Subbed
YESSSSS
I discovered Leprous when they released Bilateral. I really love this album overall, one of my favorites last year. For recommendation, J Saint Merat from Ulcerate would be amazing. They're also from New Zealand haha.
I'm sure he's commented about him having Jamie on his podcast before.
Thats correct man!
I've had Jamie on my podcast twice. He's a great guy. Deep thinker about music.
Episode 46 is a good one. All about METAL!
@@AndrewRooneyDrums and man is he a hell of a drummer. So creative and makes it look easy.
@@lungfulldrummer8921 Ohh my bad. I didn't know. Thank you very much for correcting me!
@@AndrewRooneyDrums Shame on me hahhahaa. I'm going to listen to those episodes. Cheers and thank you for correcting me!
Cant lie.. cant recommend 1 song... THEYRE ALL AMAZING! 😂 Moon playthrough is impressive.. Leprous are seriously under rated and Baard is by far my favourite drummer of all time.. Personally I think he is within top 5 drummers alive but without a doubt my favourite
Thanks Alex!
Thanks!! Leprous is one of my favs! Their music is so dynamic and each album is different...also check out the Band Haken if you liked them. Very similar!
similar vocally, but musically it's def more prog leaning. some intimidating riffs for sure. recommended for sure!
Awesome pick Nathan! Really great stuff ma man!
I had the pleasure of seeing Leprous live a few years ago and Baard is one of the best drummers I have ever seen. So fluid but hits the skins with such force that you really feel the emotion of the song channelling through him.
Baard is truly a genius and what amazes me is how is able to keep a technical groove while having this insane display of energy (I mean this playthrough is the best example), you really have the impression he gives it all for each song.
Then he is an incredibly creative drummer. He has several playthroughs on UA-cam and, while we can recognize his styles, they are all different and showcase a different aspect of his technique/playing. I am not writing that because I am fan of him but they are all worth checking:
- Illuminate
- Rewind
- The Price
-Moon
- Bonneville
- COMA
- Mirage
- The Sky Is Red
You got it Scott!
UA-cam algorithm had you show up on my feed reacting to Baard today.
It's hard to properly respond, but you make the same facial expresions that i do.
Gritting teeth, wincing (eyes), trying to suspended a note (which I believe was a rest) to fill out a measure that you're calculating on the fly.
Absoltely wonderful
Great! haha
Baard has a new playthrough out
This kid is a monster. Wow. I'm going to need to watch this a few times
Hey man, thanks for introducing me to this - immediately fell in love, the guy has some much passion, hits hard. Amazing stuff.
Fantastic Karlo!!!
This guy is insane. INSANE. One can never get tired of watching him play.
Agree Simone!
... Find this band on whatever streaming platform you desire... Press play and let go... MAN!!! Amazing musicians every one of them and just dude! My new obsession ❤️❤️❤️
Another reaction on them coming tmrw!!
been working with Baard on album, such a great drummer and talent!!
Great!
amazing song. intense playthrough. this band leprous, is also the backing band for Ihsahn's solo outing. he was the singer / guitarist / song writer from the black metal band emperor.
Thanks for the great info Clint!
Baard also played on Borknagar's (another prog/black metal supergroup/band) "Winter Thrice"
Ihsahn is Einar Solberg's (the vocalist in Leprous) brother-in-law.
God, that is incredibly tight. Especially with those woopy time signatures.
YES!
Him playing the drums is street magic.
So THATS how hand hammered high hats are made!
Your channel has become my new favorite place to find new bands/drum videos. In this case, I found both! Thank you, Andrew, but in particular, thank you, PATREON!!
Great Jess!
So glad to hear! 🥁🙌💯
Just discovered this band. Great band, amazing all the way around. Great tasty drum composition.
This man is a absolute maniac 😳
One of our times best drummers👌 Great reactvid🙏🏻
Ayyyyyyyyyyyye, great reaction video! Really awesome to see Baard featured! Thanks Andrew!
Glad you enjoyed!
I was lost completely lost at the end, it felt new and fresh, awesome imo.
Excellent Peter
The polyrhytmic in this song is pretty amazing.
YES!
Hes such an amazing drummer.
Sure is Kyle!
Hey guys! As a way to prioritize the amount of reaction requests I'm getting via email/instagram and in the UA-cam comments...
I am going to try and do the Patreon picks first. There is no limit on the Patreon (could be $1/month).
www.patreon.com/AndrewRooneyDrums
I still love you if you are NOT a Patreon contributor. And I will still try and get to your pick. It's a just a reward for those that help out with costs/time involved with doing the vids.
Disclaimer: No guarantees. I can only do what I can do. If a vid is blocked... it's blocked. I'll do my best!
Note: Patrons also get exclusive access to the vids that get blocked :)
Thanks for watching!
It's also pronounced more like "bort" than "baahrd"
Leprous is not metal - they will not categorize themselves, but most of it seems to be progressive rock and even then they won't call it that really.
Ihsahn from Emperor is Einar's brother in law, which should give an indication of his roots and TL;DR much like Michel from Volbeat, Einar wanted to branch out from your standard nordic death metal genres and work free form, much like the direction Opeth ended up going, in hindsight (and to the dismay of many fans, most of whom were already arguing about "what period is best" when keyboards and acoustic albums showed up in the plan).

Also I am stove up and fixed income so I like and share but have no cash right now to pay for a request - but I will tell you if you haven't seen the power trio (they call their music "battle metal") Asterism coming out of Japan, it's a band where the kid playing the drums has less skins in the kit than the kid playing the guitar and they are all SICK players. I don't even know if they're legal to get signed on their own yet lol

Having come from a marching percussion background, his technique really killed me at first. But I honestly find it more impressive how much power he's able to put out with such a relaxed grip. Ends up with such a fantastic sound quality, as well as longevity of playing. Kind of reminds me of Keith Carlock's ride hand technique.
Yes. Great point re Carlock man!
His repetition is outstanding and his passion is unmatched!! 🤟
YES!
@@AndrewRooneyDrums There was a footballer in the UK for Manchester United called 'Wayne Rooney' & everytime ya name pops up i chant like the crowds did:- ROOOOOONEY ROOOOOOOOONEY 🤣🤟 Ya shud defo get a chant lol
For me, Baard is Eloy Casagrande meets Gavin Harrison.
What an amazing drummer.
Great comparison!
I did not see it that way, but it makes sense. :D
For me it was: Matt Gartska met Abe Cunningham on steroids
Throw in Johan Langell from Pain of Salvation, dude was so underrated
@@ryukan250 Yeah, he was amazing. But then again so is Léo Margarit ; )
This guy goes through sticks like there's no tomorrow. :D If you ever asked yourself why drummers have endorsement deals, this is why.
Besides that, can we just talk about what an unreal song this is? Leprous are amazing.
Thanks for this, and thank your patrons. I didn't know Leprous, and it sounds great! Will dive into their music now. Wooohoooo, a new great band found?
Please do! Great stuff Matthijs
A musician called Baard. Such beautiful irony.
the endurance song . wow drums
Yes!
This guy is the truth as far as modern progressive rock/metal drumming goes. He totally reminds me of Gavin but I could never really put my finger on the reason why, until you described it and I was like yep that's exactly it lol. He has a bunch of other drum playthroughs here on youtube, you can't really go wrong with any of them because he's just mindblowing on each one. Great video!
Thanks Nikola!
I'll check out his other vids he's awesome.
And thanks for watching!
@@AndrewRooneyDrums Sure thing, always glad to see people discovering this band. Have a good one man!
It's nice to see a drum reaction channel who actually knows what they're listening too, enjoy your stuff man
Thanks Chris!
Beast! 🤘
This guy is sick! Love the music, happy to find a new band to check out :)
that was very very very good!! gotta check this band out now...such an epic song!!!
GREAT!
He gets to play the most ultimate Final Fantasy Boss music ever.
Amazing
Sure is!
Baard is the man! Would love to see you react to some of Aric Improta's work! The "Copper Wasp" drum playthrough is insanity. Drummer who plays out of the box to say the least!
Sounds great Andrew!
6:42 is how I look 24/7 while watching these drummers play.
Steve Gadd and Gavin with a pinch of Mars Volta and Deftones, certainly unique, dynamic indeed
He's doing Audio Magic on you!!!! Dam, what a fuckin drummer!
If anyone has a chance to see these guys live (after Rona) please do. My friend Chris does their live sound, so I have the pleasure of seeing them and meeting them a a bit. Super nice guys, an amazing band, and a fucking *Rawking* drummer.
Would love to see them live Joshua!
From a street drummer to an internationally known beast
Great reaction man! Leprous is an amazing band. They call themselves avant-garde rock, but they have a lot of progressive elements. After I discovered them, and saw these vids, Baard took the top spot as my favorite drummer. Beat out Danny Carey for the #1. That's saying a lot! lol He's got quite a few drum vids out there.
I'd suggest 'Illuminate' for the studio setting, also it's just a really good song.
Thanks for the recommend!
Nice video! Something I think you'd find interesting is in there live version of 'Contaminate Me' they've got not one but two drummers- both synced incredibly well. Even in the midway transition one of them gets up and hits the gong behind them!
I will hopefully see this live in about two weeks!
this performance was the one that got me into Leprous, mint stuff
Me too Victor!
More needs to be said about when the hihats close tighter @12:10. Its so subtle but it creates this more precise and delicate build up. Gives me tingles every time.
Hey I know that accent anywhere lol, nice to see YT recommending other NZers. Glad to see Baard getting more exposure, dude is just insane at what he does. Not even as request for a react, more of checking out in your own time, the band Katatonia has some awesome drumming, their song Dead Letters has some incredible groove. Subbed man, good stuff
Thanks Keegan! Cheers bro :)
what a great band
prog😍👍
6:16 that noise you made sounds like a steam notification I was so confused LMFAO
HAHA!
This song is a masterpiece.
One of the best drummer i've ever seen
Incredible!
@@AndrewRooneyDrums you have to listen the song "rewind " by leprous. Just crazy on drum.
I love how you enojoyed that instead on just focus in technical stuffs!
You got it Francisco!
The "Andrew Rooney Stank Face" should be a meme! Hahaha
The comment about the pinkies made this review for me. I'm a guitarist, and I hold the pick between my thumb and middle finger... and it works for me.
Had to hit 'like' the second you said about the pinkies .. :-)
As per technique and which are best - you're absolutely right. There is no "best" because each individual's mind works differently, as are each individual's anatomical structure fashioned differently, which then brings the ergonomic factor into play. Keep a space between the thumb and index, don't keep a space between the thumb and index. Bah! Weckl says yes, ten thousand other drummers say no. And so goes the fundamental fact that there are no fundamental certainties in drumming.
Je m'attendais a quelque décortication de riff ou un genre de wow il y a tellement de nuance de jeux d'intensité. Je regarde des vidéo de réaction pour apprendre pas pour le regarder en même temps que toi sans contenu...
Pousse en l'air pour Baard Kolstad qui est de loin le drummer qui m'impressionne le plus depuis 2014. Mais pousse en bas pour un vidéo de réaction sans contenu.
I totally feel you on the Gavin Harrison vibe. He has a very precise groove going. It's almost relaxing in a way and then *BAM* outrageous 2 to 4 bar fill. Then back to chilling. So good!
That's it Caleb!
Baard Kolstad also performed the drums section of "The Black Page" by Frank Zappa when he was about 19.
Yikes Zilou!
another thing of note, Leprous had two drummers for most of their first few tours / first album. pretty sweet. also, make sure you peep the new king crimson live incarnation. THREE DRUMMERS. front and center. one of those being gavin harrison. whom baard does remind me of, in regards to his dynamics and clarity in his performances.
Well said Clint!
And thank you for the King Crimson recommendation!
Last year I had the privilege to see both KC (at the incredible Arena di Verona, no less) and Leprous (in a much smaller venue). It was great!
One of the best prog bands out there. They are awesome live also!
Thanks Kelly! I'll have to check them out live
Great music!
YES!
Check out the song Illuminate... Baard has a few measures that he plays 3 different time signatures at once....unreal.
