ABORTED - Ken Bedene's Drum Playthrough of "Dreadbringer"

[@thehobliks]

Whenever I feel like I'm a failure at anything I watch a Ken Bedene playthrough to prove that point even more.

[@chrisgsauce]

LMAO

[@JoeJohnSoundsandVisuals]

Fucking right? I just got back from what I thought was a really good practice...nevermind..I have alot of work to do. Haha

[@Demonithese]

All of us brother

[@ruleinblood]

The guy is INSANE ! I’m not even into this style but damn, I love the drums

[@drumlion2005]

As a drummer i feel this lol.

[@Pennerfalle]

Ken is one of the cleanest drummers out there. His technique is flawless and he NEVER looks exhausted while playing - absolute Legend

[@Vor_Tex_Sun]

He is a very complete drummer

[@WomenWearBigUglySquarePantsNow]

Maybe because he's not really playing? (Triggers are one Hell of a drug).

[@WomenWearBigUglySquarePantsNow]

​@@Vor_Tex_SunHe is actually totally incomplete. 🤣

[@marcobogazzi8446]

@@WomenWearBigUglySquarePantsNow good to know u dont even know what a trigger is :P

[@asekessu]

@@WomenWearBigUglySquarePantsNow You play that then... Or what the hell I give you time to practise lets see how long it takes you to play as well as Ken with triggers

[@Drummergregvance]

Ken is the epitome of the perfect metal drummer and band mate. Not only in his rock solid playing, but personality wise; not cocky, fun to be around and great sense of humor. Ken lets his drumming do the talking for him and off stage he’s one of the realest, cool dudes you’ll ever meet. Absolute gem!

[@timo4925]

That punchy snare is just🤤

[@Tonjit41]

it smells so good bro

[@HonorGamez]

That’s how a snare at a fkn metal show should sound man, great performance

[@samholdsworth420]

Agreed....it sounds good 👍🏻

[@overklems]

More ken playthrough please 🙏

[@svjat3441]

2:22 wow! As a professional drummer (nowhere near these guys) I spent the last few days getting into this extreme metal scene and checking out a few of those drummers. I see a lot of impressive stuff, but after 30 minutes you get the feeling you have seen everything there is to see. So thoses 8 seconds at 2:22 stand out to me. It's the first bit I heard since I started were actually something grooves. Very nice. Leaving those imperfections in is very nice as well. To me, hearing the struggle makes it more intense. But I guess I'm a minority with this. Snaresound way ahead of the pack as well.

[@duesexistat5016]

That snare sound…. Wow! Amazing performance as always!

[@limbfromlimbfromlimb]

fucking yeah, I was about to say the same thing ;)

[@Vor_Tex_Sun]

Dude just sits there, blasting the life out of the drums. He looks so relaxed whilst he does all this amazing stuff!

[@zhdrums3872]

Kens playing is so technical and consistent yet executes everything so effortlessly and flawlessly.

[@riku_septentriones_eternal]

Literally everyone playing pretty much flawlessly in this performance, holy shit Makes me appreciate Aborted even more than I already do

[@vacateistheword]

Ken seems to be getting better. I don’t know how that’s even possible, man. I’m lost . This dude is just different level of mad .

[@samholdsworth420]

The best always make it look so damn effortless

[@JayThomas-f9w]

That pop from the snare from 3:20 to 4:05...unbelievable...so much power

[@ObiWK88]

That snare sound and the blast beats are sick

[@prod_adrian]

Seems like Jamie St Merat and Ken Bedene created a new elite level drumming league on their own! Batshit crazy!!!

[@patriciafortunatomontenegr7630]

How many times have I seen this video? Yes. :)

[@slayer1084]

Ken makes it look sooooo effortless.

[@ObiWK88]

Ken drums like he can answer text messages during a performance. So effortless...

[@devendasmusic]

His doubles are mesmerizing

[@DeathStarLuke]

what an absolute monster of a drummer

[@mahirdaiyankhan5064]

Ken's playing scares me. This guy just set the bar so high. Guess I'll just have to try to climb that ladder one step at a time.

[@coachcanntent8325]

Dude is ridiculous, absolute monster. Like everyone else says more Ken playthroughs please

[@BlackLionRecordsTV]

so bloody flawless amazing drummer

[@matthewcurtis4083]

Man. I’m not a fan of this music period. But the skill is immense. It’s incredible what someone can accomplish.

[@chriscullen9642]

His blast beats cause me to grin maniacally. :) SO sick.

[@Geewunner4life]

An absolute machine!! Hornz and Hailz!! 🤘🤘

[@Beederda]

His swivels are soo fucking good 🤘🔥 he has easily become one of my favourite drummers this song is one of the best if not the best track of the new album

[@UMCmetal]

Cymbal Setup sounding good! playing off the charts as always ...

[@tomtierneydrums]

Im glad i found a playthough - when the singles came out i wanted to be sure i was as inadequate of a drummer as i felt at the time. Watching this today hammered that home.

[@slothstradamus89]

I meannnn, but RIGHT THOUGH? I'm a 35yr old guitar player, started playing in 2003. And w/ one notable exception, I always wrote ALL the material, like as in for each position..both guitars, and the drums, and then the vocal cadence (I never wrote the lyrics though, as I feel that's a pretty personal thing, since they'll be singing it every practice and gig. I left that to whomever our vocalist was. And the bassist who was in all my bands with me but ONE, was so amazing he'd just hear me play the song a few times and BAMMM...next practice he's written the perfect bass lines for the song....a bit unreal, honestly). I've only just now reached a point where in my production/engineering skills (like at home), that I want to at least try the, "One Man Band" thing, where I'll write, and then play/record, every instrument. Seeing as how I somehow, quite obliviously, wrote the entirety of all my collective previous band's songs. Now, all that wall of txt being said...how in the ACTUAL FUCK am I supposed to replicate something like this?!?! I mean shit, even to PROGRAM something like this?! Bedene is like.. literally capable of more than even a fine-tuned machine could ever HOPE to be made to achieve. Goddamnit...I fucking love Aborted. SO much. But...fuck...Ken just makes me wanna stop even trying to write metal songs anymore. And I mean that in the most POSITIVE way I could lol

[@pixxlethepaladin8269]

So brutal. Incredible job. Incredible song!

[@Andallwastrick]

Bro that snare tone is 🔥 🔥 🔥

[@dcmastermindfirst9418]

The snare sounds flat and dead.

[@drummermikerocks1]

@@dcmastermindfirst9418you gotta be joking. Do you not hear the ring? Dead snares don’t ring.

[@nathanatkin1984]

The god of relaxation.

Ken is truly a treat to watch behind the kit

[@nathanatkin1984]

Truly inspirational. The epitome of relaxation & control.

i love the fact that the bass drum isnt fake. you can hear that its not perfect, and in this speed it wont ever be perfect. i prefer this than the fake ones. loved it :D

[@dio4912]

@@corrupted_realm 90% of deathcore drum playthroughs. You can notice it, if the drummer goes really fast and its just... too accurate. Its just impossible for humans to be this accurate. No, its not about the triggers, i love triggers, they just edited it, to make it better. There is no problem with it, if they change it just a little bit, like Fleshgod Apocalypse's drummer, Eugene. He changes it a little bit, to make sure its perfect, but he is still an amazing drummer live.
