Frost drumcams are obscure.

Even with such raw audio, missing most of Nils' insane foot work (mind you Andrew, he is known for always drumming in heavy combat boots, which just adds to his legend), he is always captivating.

[@d.n.4328]

Nils here replaced Frost, who is a constant member of both 1349 and Satyricon. They are very unlike each other - Nils being an insane speed machine, while Frost, despite also being capable at blasting at great speeds, usually goes for a more creative approach to drumming, like slowing things down and bringing interesting fills in moderate speeds - so his playing is not all high-speed blasts and high-speed fills in between different blasts. Both are fantastic at what they do!

[@OnIoN4UrTrUbLeS]

I fn love Satyricon I get it!!!

[@Kain_R_Heinlein]

I think Nils is way better tbh

[@into_the_void]

Yesss... Textures is an amazing band, very underrated. I've seen them live a few times and they were always on point, crushed it !

[@Vamashara]

My band used to have our rehearsal space in the same house as In Battle had their rehearsal space/demo studio when Nils was playing with them. There was a lot of crazy parties in that house. Probably 4-5 bands in there every night and partying there during the weekends, having jam sessions switching around members of bands and playing other genres of music and just being silly. Awesome times and really cool to have had the privilege to just casually jam with musicians at that level. I hung out with the singer and the lead guitarist of In Battle at the time and when they got back from Florida after recording the album Welcome to the battlefield, i was in there watching them rehearse for their upcoming tour for that album quite a lot. Watching Nils play up close is like watching some sort of supernatural force. It’s mind boggling. But I have to say though, I’ve never seen him play as sloppy as he does in this video.. For him, this isn’t very good at all. He can do much better.

[@EmperorKillian]

These guys who have mastered this and other extreme metal genres can play a lifetime w/o injury.

[@pockydoobles1767]

'Pingy' is the perfect description for Black Metal cymbals. It's probably the signature sound of the genres drumming tbh.

Black Metal are supose to be raw, early black metal was recording in garage with the most less expansive camera you can find. Today, Black Metal have expand alot as a genre, you have still that standard raw black metal, but you also have Atmospheric Black Metal, Progressive Black Metal and Pagan Black Metal the list can be longer. Asagraum are very few black metal bands with only female members.

You still have some guys to... react to from the extreme metal scene. Nicholas Barker, Francesco Paoli (you already did Yevhen Riabchenko from Fleshgod Apocalypse), the one and only mister "Hellhammer" aka. Jan Axel Blomberg, John Longstreth... maybe also Pete Sandoval, George Kollias. I'm also a fan of mister "Inferno" aka. Zbigniew Robert Promiński of Behemoth... the only one I like in that band... "Frost" aka. Kjetil-Vidar Haraldstad of Satyricon... James Payne...

[@jean-eudescolissimo1974]

Thank you for featuring Nils once again. To me he's the greatest drummer in this extreme gender, he's truly unique with the volume he can gets through his tom fills endurance (check godhate drum cam with dark funeral ) and he also plays "old school", I mean, no push pull, no heel toe, each time I see him playing live or on cam I'm still impressed after all these years of extreme death/black fan being. Check out his work with Nordjevel and also the live performances with Myrkskog - a poignant scenario of horror for example. Above that, he's a nice an humble person, every other drummers seems so light regarding Nils, the main difference is the "intention" he puts into drumming, he also played 10 years with 2B sticks, which is also unbelievable at these high tempos...

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Don't tell me this is with 2b's.... what the hell!?

[@jean-eudescolissimo1974]

@@AndrewRooneyDrums I'm not sure for the today video (looks like 5B) but all the dark funeral footage is played with 2B's. Nils recently explained himself he just switched to 5B here : kzbin.info/www/bejne/rneqcoqJnZZkoac at 5'10 but whole vid is worth watching

Hey Andrew great entertainment as usual! I'd love you to check out Elliot Hoffman from the Band Car Bomb - he has a very unique and experimental style with an extreme focus on metric modulation, odd time signatures and polyrhythms, that guy is a walking miracle.

[@Tomsawyerspit]

Hello Mr.Rooney , A new subscriber here. I may catch a lot of shit for this comment but whatever. I'm a 55 yr. Old disabled drummer. I played from about the ages of 15 to 42 . While I am not a death metal drummer or a Mike Mangini , I do think I have enough experience to say, that while this drumming is incredible to watch and if you understand what it takes to be a good player, then you know that it takes an unbelievable amount of practice , dedication, perseverance and ya da ya da to play at this level 👏. When I was younger I always looked up to these drummer and I always wanted chops like this. Now , things have changed and while I still can appreciate their playing, I find the music soulless, un melodic, droning and it gives me a headache after a while. To me it seems like it's just a competition to see who can go the fastest . I'm not an angry Godless person so I can't relate on a lyrical level either. I think it's good for young drummers to keep up their chops and if they like it what can I say. Some people like Mexican cowboy polka music. To each their own.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

I think that's the great thing about music. There is something for everyone. We are all different. I'm really glad there is music like this for people who really get into it. It's a great outlet. I've made my career playing far more commercial styles. I also DO actually like well written pop... so that could get hate!? But it ultimately doesn't matter. I try to stay open minded and giver everything a go :) Thanks for the comment!

[@Tomsawyerspit]

@@AndrewRooneyDrums I agree with you about well written pop. Hey I'm a Beatles fanatic. I guess I was just trying to say that my taste in music has changed over the years and even though I don't listen to music like this I can really appreciate and applaud their playing. And yes to each their own.

Dominator never disappoints, what an absolute weapon!! If you want to see something surprisingly groovy yet extremely brutal, check out Kai Hahto (Rotten Sound - Obey). He is now the drummer for Nightwish and previously Wintersun, but I liked him best when he was playing with Rotten Sound, it's rare hearing so much groove, technicality and creativity in that genre.

[@NickSwe]

Pete Sandoval, formerly of Morbid Angel and current Terrorizer, said in an interview many years ago that he was already starting to struggle with the fastest songs, that was back when he was in MA, he was in his early 40s so yeah, these kinda drummers burn fast but boy they burn bright. One of the things I have noticed is that as time passes by, they stop hitting so freaking hard, so they can still move fast enough to keep up the tempo without much physical wear. Usually these kinda drummers also train their bodies to endure this, see guys like Krimh, Peter Wildoer, Eloy Casagrande, etc, they all do gym and eat healthy to maintain and improve their level, they are athletes, and they are set to push the boundaries of extreme music... of course there are odd cases, like Nick Barker, how he plays that fast is beyond my comprehension.

Old video but heh. If no one has answered the question about the lifespan of "extreme" metal drummers, it's got nothing to do with the type of music. Take Flo Mounier for example, the drummer and only Cryptopsy member remaining from the first album (Blasphemy Made Flesh). He's still around 30 years later and his drumming is as good (or better) than it's ever been

[@MetalNeyth]

Check Lord Marco doing his retake on a Rings of Saturn song called "The Husk" he is so fast people use to say the video is speeded up. (Actually any drummer may know is not because the cymbal movement).
