The drums you hear is what is called "Blast Beat". It basically means, that a drummer plays the rhythm with a maximum speed on drums. Yes, the drummer does it. And blast beats are glorious. :D

[@connorbray8009]

That's absolutely not what it basically means 😂

[@nightfall88]

@@connorbray8009 I know there is a technique behind it, I am a drummer, I just don't know how to describe blast beats best. I was just writing to explain that this type of fast drum beat is a normal thing in death metal. You can describe blast beats the way you want.

[@maehelsinki6464]

Is is very tiring? I heard of double pedals and shit.

[@spacebory]

@@maehelsinki6464 depends on the blast and depends on the technique you use. If you use full wrist action it can eventually tire you out, especially at the speeds Francesco paoli is doing it. If you use correct technique with your fingers it’s perfectly possible to keep it up for 5 minutes or more at this speed however it’s a hard technique to learn. As for double kick/bass drumming it also depends on the speed and technique used. For example this drummer uses predominantly swivel but at this speed most would use heel-toe technique

[@slaymetal2438]

​@@spacebory Hey ! As a drummer, I'd like to agree with what you said for the blast beat part ^^ From what I saw from some of his live performances, for the blast beat, he uses different techniques for his left hand and right hand ^^ But about the question of it being tiring, i'd say that (like the double bass drumming) it's pretty much a matter of endurance ^^ But it's a thing that mostly comes from practice x) However, from those live performances, I saw that Francesco mostly uses the heel-toe technique (° °) But whatever technique he's using for these fast bass drum parts, i'd say that the reason (aside from using proper technique) that he doesn't seem tired is because of conditioning (° °) In a lot of Fleshgod's songs (Kingborn, The Imposition, A million deaths, etc.) we can find those parts, so I think that while practicing, he also focused a lot on how long he could keep playing the parts without tiring or loosing consistency in his sound (° °) That's pretty logical, I know, but I thought that it could be interesting ^^ Also, sorry if I sounded rude or anything in what I said ^^'

If you watch him play live, he switches from left foot to right foot to play the “slower” blast beats so he can give each led a break. The super fast double bass is a technique called heal toe. you can get a quick double stroke out of each foot with a slide of the foot. Super talented and technical speed drummer. He can also play every instrument in the band and has rotated around. Very talented man.

[@maxek46]

The drummer, Francesco Paoli, is not actually a drummer but has served as bass player, guitar player, and chef. He just took up drumming duties for a few albums. Really, he’s a master at that heel-toe double technique on the bass drum which actually makes playing this possible. Only their new drummer, Evgeny Ryabchenko can really cope and play things tight and quick. Amazing musicians.

Edit: If you really want your mind blown by his drumming, watch a drum video of him playing the song "Elegy."

For G I’d recommend Gaerea - To Ain

[@SFMonster]

This band was gonna be my son's first concert. Got him tickets for him and his friends to go for his birthday. In March. Of 2020. Right when quarantine ended every tour on the globe. No complaints, since we're all still healthy, but what could possibly have been a more appropriate band for March 2020?
