Im not sure how much learning I did, but I still enjoyed the hell out of the video lol
Just great! May be you're gave something for the future study and work. Whish you good hunt.
Evgeny is mesmerizing to watch. It’s hard to learn when you get hypnotized.
Very very very true!
Bro that heel/toe technique is just so smooth and accurate. Absolutely hypnotic.
About his 'musicality' - he'd spent years on a piano training, before being sucked in by the blackhole of the percussionists Universe. If I'm not mistaken, Evgeny is the one, who's writing the music sheets and explaining the arrangement to all of the band members.
I had no idea about this! This is very interesting and actually explains a lot to me. It certainly explains his ability to play parts that sync up so well with the rest of the musical arrangement of the band since hes the one doing the composing lol
Ты красавчик , бро. Я нихрена почти не понимаю что ты говоришь, но твое желание что-то подчеркнуть из игры Жени , восхищает . Так держать и удачи !
Аналогично 😂
I just recently got introduced to slaughter to prevail, and I'm a metalhead. Or at least I used to be before I was domesticated and got a wife and kids that can't stand when I blast the dust off the walls with my drum set. This guy's technique approach and speed have blown my brain out of my ear holes. This dude is phenomenal and I will definitely be listening and watching more of this band. I'm glad that I randomly came across your channel.
Cheers from Texas
Im glad youre hear brother! I absolutely love this band, and admittedly i have some pretty funny reactions up when it comes to them. If you need a laugh check my most recent video with Evgeny playing 1984 to see what i mean lol
@@DrumlionMusic I will check it out.
In the meantime, think about checking out "Samson".
It's rap, but he delivers real world facts that everyone(that loves the U.S.) should hear.
Not sure if this channel allows current affairs and history to be displayed, but I encourage you to do it on your own.
@@RdeneckTech will do bro
Женя - гордость!
Another spot on reaction sir! I'm no drummer, but love some good kit work! With that being said, I feel like trying to comprehend what Evgeny does, my brain is on a dial-up connection...trying to process, and trying to catch up! 🙃 Keep up the outstanding work man! 👏 🤟
He definitely has alot of involved stuff going on, but what gets me is how effortless he makes it look
Amazing drum art 👌 Thanks bro for reaction 👍
Loved the headbang at the end haha! Also appreciate you breaking down the techniques hes using - you might not have learnt anything, but I sure did!
I appreciate this comment! Thank you so much! And Im glad you got something out of this!
Love the reaction. I must know where you got that shirt!
Niiice reaction, the way you can't stay focused on in the end blast me off ! 🤘
That drummer's sick. And yeah, playing drumsticks backward is such a thing in that gender of music 😂 For more powerness I guess.
Thanks! and yeah this song gets me every time. Oh I got an email today saying my mask shipped!
@@DrumlionMusic Great ! Hope you get it soon, it can take a while but be patient, at least you got a track number to follow the shipping.
Evgeny is an absolute monster! That tune is 🔥 af too. There's no way not to headbang 🤣🤣
Facts! It hit me and i just couldn't help myself anymore lol
@@DrumlionMusic I already know brother. That's one of my favorite tunes off of that album because of the drums.
Wow this was a really informative watch. Good content 👌
Thanks so much! Im glad you liked it!
Bro Focus!😂
I love how you reacted
Dude's insane. He's really creative and super fast. I wish I still had the drive to play like this, but it seems to keep going down with age. I'm still in a band, but more of an emo pop punk band now and it's been fun but I miss being in metal bands sometimes
Youre still able to link up and jam creatively with other musicians. That bu itself is an amazing blessing because you get to openly share your musical passion with others that feel the same. No matter what you're playing, to me, that will always hold priceless value. So for what it's worth i think what you are doing is amazing.
@@DrumlionMusic thank you! That means a lot. Well said. I've definitely lost some speed and endurance, but every time we play a show I feel the passion again for sure
The drum play through from Sleep Token Hypnosis an offering from II is natty and sick af. The mic set up is interesting. Kick drum mic on the floor tom. Not sure this drummer has enough moon gel. Lol. Your gonna love his kit. Nice reaction 🤘
Thanks for the information! This is interesting and has me intrigued.
Can we get more of these lol
Oh most definitely! I got a list of stuff in mind already
Yes!!⚡⚡
Hey welcome back bro!
@@DrumlionMusic 👊🏻👊🏻
He plays with the sticks backwards because the blunt end smacks harder and puts more solid sound on the snare.
Whoa.
8:29 🤣
Some forces are just too powerful to fight lmao!
Stay focus yeaa...
man I feel ya, I actually thought he played heel toe just by the way his legs would move! until I watched this and saw his bare feet. Good luck getting that down!
I feel like Evgeny can just play whatever technique he wants because he probably can do them all lol
Nice T-Shirt!)
Thank you!
LOVED IT! check out TALLAH's MURDER SEED, WE THE SAD, and THE IMPRESSIONIST. The drummer is Mike Portnoy's son, Max. TALLAH is like slipknot, linkin park, and mudvayne wih limp bizkit. theyre worth a listen.
Oh this sounds like itll be amazing! Im definitely doing this!
This is actually how I learned to play..I taught myself by watching and listening to other drummers..its actually a lot easier than it looks to learn by watching..just don't think so much..become the emotion that the other drummer is using
I feel you on this. 1000 percent
I just discovered your channel. Love it.
I think you would enjoy looking into the drumming of Wlad from the band Jinjer. One of the tastiest groove drummers in metal. He has a very unconventional kit and it matches his unconventional approach to metal drumming...and he's a master technician like Evgeny, only extremely different. I've seen Slaughter To Prevail and Jinjer live a couple times, and I gotta say, Wlad NEVER messes up. Evgeny is pretty tight live, but sometimes he dips just slightly in his timing. You can see and hear it in the upload they put up of his live playthrough of Zavali Ebalo...just a smidge off for a second during the 2nd blast where he alternates between snare and China cymbal ( though he made up for it in the live playthrough of Hell by crushing the shit out of the song). You will NEVER hear anything but absolute precision from Wlad and Jinjer live. You really need to look into him. Just the ghost note patterns alone are worth the price of admission to a Jinjer show.
I'll just say this, and I love both drummers, I can pick up what Evgeny is doing on drums and play it. I am still trying to figure out songs from Jinjer because some of what Wlad does totally escapes me and puts my brain on lock. I can see it, I can hear it, but nope...can't make my body play it.
Playthroughs to check out:
Mediator live
Vortex live
Under the Dome playthrough
Ape playthrough
Homeback playthrough
Sit Stay Roll Over playthrough
There are several more, but that should get you started
Wlad Ulasevich is a monster
Also...thanks UA-cam algorithm for putting this channel in my suggestions
I gotta admit, you made one hell of a sales pitch for Jinjer. Ive heard some of their songs "in passing" if that makes sense but now, I am super intrigued to do some deep diving into the music. I just have to try to use my analytical brain, and not my brain that just wants to rock out to music haha. Seeing your words about Evgeny, it only took me half a second to tell you are truly a drummer yourself. You can actually distinguish and tell what is happening in a playthrough while the "casual" music listener wont have a clue; they just like what they hear. For me, when it comes to Evgeny, I am drawn to his style of playing. Its unapologetic and high octane, so I admit it gets my blood pumping. I will definitely be adding Vlad to my immediate recommendations list. P.S, I am kinda curious to see your skills behind the kit as well. Have you considered starting a channel yourself? It sounds like you could be very successful at it.
@@DrumlionMusic I lack the tools for video production. I have no cameras for filming beyond a cell phone, and no mixer to run my drums into a pro tools program. Basically all I have to work with are my Tama Rockstar DS drums, Meinl cymbals, mics, and a very old Peavy PA system and board with 8 channels to mic up my drums, and it is a 70s model with no ports for plugging into a computer. I honestly wouldn't know where to begin with video production. I'm only familiar with playing on a stage, or playing in my practice room. I would love to know more about video production and what I would need for mixing my sound so one could hear my drums alongside the music of a song I'm covering, without the original song's drum track. I am not very tech savvy so I really don't know what I would need to begin such an endeavor.
It's possible I could be successful if I knew how to get off the ground, but the people who do UA-cam drumming videos aren't typically forthcoming on information regarding video production. They just upload their work and make the rest of us wonder how we hear their drums in another artist's track. The only person who gives pointers is 66Samus, but he is mostly doing an add for one of his sponsors showing what a program can do once his drums are modeling to a computer program, but not the actual act of hooking each mic'd up part of the drum kit to said program. I would need an audio visual tech person to explain it to me, and I don't know any. On stage we use our own equipment and the house sound board in most instances, though sometimes we have to rent one because the venue doesn't have one.
@@DrumlionMusic if you want more of Evgeny, look into his earlier stuff with Katalepsy. He has some good uploads on UA-cam of himself doing Katalepsy playthroughs.
@@laurenfazenbaker9777 one of my favorites os Tephra!
@@laurenfazenbaker9777 i was in a very similar situation as you. (Oh btw i also play tama and meinl so we have that in common). I had to set aside a budget and try to get things one piece at a time. I started with getting a mixer. I already had mic cables(XLR). So i got a PreSonus arc16 mixer which has enough XLR ports to mic my entire kit and my hi hat and a room mic. I am a member of PreSonus sphere which has a HUGE community forum as well as a ton of perks for being a member including free access to Presonus Studio one 5 professional edition (great DAW). As well as access to a huge number of plugins and extra recording goodies. I had to learn audio and video production by looking at the forums. Luckily PreSonus has a huge amount of videos, tutorials and community Q&A sections that are chock full of how-to information. All the way from the basics of setting up, to advanced audio engineering tricks. I HIGHLY recommend you check out Joe from PreSonus UA-cam channel, as he has a huge amount of tutorial videos about PreSonus. The membership to PreSonus sphere is also only 15 bucks a month and the value of it ranges in the 4 digit number amount. All the equipment i use specifically i included in my video descriptions so you can see exactly what im using.
Mission failed. Lol that was absolute sucsess for Slaughter:)
Hahaha true!
Hi, brother, just try to observe a first drummer of the STP - Anton Poddyachi [early stuff - Hell, As The Wulture Circles]. I'm guaranteed you'll be wondered. Cheers.
Sounds like a plan!
Is your setup above your kit for noise retention or better acoustics?
Its actually both. It manages the acoustics and makes the kit sound much better. I also have acoustic blankets from Audimute covering the walls and dedicated bass traps (also from Audimute) in the corners.
@@DrumlionMusic Looks dope!
@@chasedyer9819 thanks! It's also made hearing drums outside the house barely noticeable so my neighbors definitely appreciate it
@@DrumlionMusic Now thats what I need right there! So hard to keep the noise down. Love the content homie🤘
Evgeny is Amazing to watch, every play through he has done is Pure Disgust.💀🤘
Straight facts! Its why i had to definitely do a reaction to 1984
@@DrumlionMusic hell yeah man, i don't blame u for closing concentration and letting the dreads fly.. Slaughter to Prevail is impossible to listen to without wanting to destroy the things that u Hate in life..💀🤘
Great reaction. I learned a little all because this song slaps. Could you possibly give Blood of The Swans by Kataklysm a listen? Drummer is on another level and I'd love to hear your feedback on his technique and speed.
Thanks man, and yeah i can definitely add that recommendation to the list!
@@DrumlionMusic you're a legend man awesome!
Crazy russians
"Zavali ebalo" is very offensive in Russian) респект пацану стопуд!
