Don’t know if you noticed on the video on the foot cam, but even at the slower steady double bass licks he was using double strokes for most the entire song, first one ive ever seen do doubles at a speed in which it’s easier to do single strokes

thats why you rehears the song u make with the band you know practice then u remember everything XD

[@dogetothemoon223]

Yes, guitarists and drummers compliment each other so well. And base is very important too.

[@MatthewOceanXVX]

"That was not only fast, it was super tasty". Haha that quote is great. Was waiting for a comment about the upside down sticks!

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

I didn't even notice in the moment until people started mentioning it!

[@overdrivenzen224]

My uncle used to play with upside down sticks when he was in his band. I asked him why back in the day and he said he liked the sound of it.

[@TheDjentleman77]

Yes! So glad you did this one! 🤘🏻🥳 He has two other playthroughs that I highly recommend. The songs are called Baba Yaga and Zavali Ebalo. He is a beast!! 👌🏻

[@deegee6046]

Yes but the real question is: Does he have any brush technique?

[@TheDjentleman77]

That’s a good looking question! 😅😉

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Yup I do that too.

[@deejradabaugh5815]

Evgeny is a BEAST on drums... I love metal music due to the insane body work and just pure ENERGY!!!!! SLAUGHTER TO PREVAIL KICKS ASS!!!!!!

[@sstrick500]

Passion and determination will get you anywhere. I remember a story about a guitarist (learning guitarist).....he practiced a certain song for a year or two. He finally nailed it. Come to find out......the song was played with TWO guitars!

🤣👌 Yup anything is possible

[@Dixby_floppy]

Dont know how i came across this but im a big Slaughter fan, theyre russian and perform phenomenal. Alex terrible is also very humble

[@TheOlvan]

Andy, love the channel, that's why I'm going to say, STOP APOLOGIZING FOR STOPPING THE VIDEOS! This is the entire point of your channel and is why I watch and like every video you put out. Just do your thing, my man. Anyone that doesn't like it can suck a dingo! :)

[@patrickmartin4482]

Confirmed comment :D

[@liamdalton3943]

The people who dislike this video clearly don’t appreciate music, period.

[@RelentlessRage]

Correct. You pronounced his name just right. Yep, it was one-handed gravity blast. Also Stick are reverse grip. Slow part in the end - it was breakdown, where Vocalist perform most

[@knotslip8862]

Slaughter to Prevail is the band. The song is called Demolisher. Just FYI! Great vid.

[@UltraCasualPenguin]

It's american thing. They read them always: Track title - Artist/Band So if it's "Slaughter to Prevail - Demolisher" for them it's always Slaughter to Prevail by Demolisher.

[@davidcraig4466]

This dude is unbelievable. Cool thing to note how much bass plays into the song as well, even with the insane drums it still sounded a bit open/empty without all of the heavy resonance

[@averageatbest8146]

I enjoy this type of music. That being said, some drummers for this type of music just play fast and its very dull. I love this drummer and the drummer for Lorna Shore. They use the fills as well as cymbal work on top of the double bass and blast beats. Love it.

[@madiskruusmann302]

I hear the vocals in my head while listening to this

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Excellent Madis 🙌

[@billwhitman4125]

This drummer is just a cut above the other drummers in this genre that I have watched. I haven't watched too many, but enough to say what I said. This drummer can do it all. Great reaction

[@indus3270]

Gotta appreciate Evgeny's ability to push out such agressive drums and still be tight and groovy about it. I've never understood where the man finds the time, even on live concerts, to do friggin' stick flips between fills lol

[@dapaintbrush6965]

This man is something else. The whole band is amazing. Great reaction

[@lmfao5411]

I love how he was so stunned he froze mid karate chop for nearly a minute 😄

[@colbymurray847]

I love how evgeny uses his sticks backwards for the heavier sound. I don’t drum myself but I believe it does do that.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Yup I often play left stick backwards

[@Lucifurion]

Vinnie Paul used to play custom sticks that had no tips at all rather than play regular sticks upside down. He wasn't the most technical drummer but damn did he hit hard.

[@SpeedOfThought1111]

@@AndrewRooneyDrums Don Caballero has an amazing drummer who plays upside down sticks. There's nothing to react to as far as i know (no quality live shows on youtube or playthroughs), but in your own time i definitely recommend checking out the first couple of albums. He's a unique player. The band is basically designed to allow him to show off the whole time.

[@mattb9803]

If I remember hearing right… the main reason for him playing with the sticks like that was because he hits so hard and just kept breaking sticks constantly

[@matthewgodding777]

Just hit harder.

[@luckystryke9709]

I’ve seen some of his stuff from his older band and he’s incredible. So much talent

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Can't wait to check out more

[@jacobkean03]

I just recently found this band and they’re all around talented but their drummer is something out of this world.

[@jordanwill1923]

You must check out "Zavali Ebalo". It will show you a lot more of evgeny's chops and overall technique

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Thanks for the tip!

[@karimotic1102]

Evgeny is by far one of the most entertaining drummers i saw in my whole life! This Guy is so fkn crazy!

[@sebaperalta2001]

I love your voice, it's so calming! Great video and reaction! I highly recommend watching the official music video of this song, even if you possibly don't like this kind of music, you certainly can not miss the vocals! 💘

[@mrtjbiga1784]

The face that Andrew makes in the thumbnail, is the same face everyone makes when they hear slaughter to prevail for the first time.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

HAHA!

[@Bobbiii0.2]

Nope. My face was something between over excited and extremely happy lol

[@Ugrasrava]

I've got an extreme drummer that I don't think you've done yet, and he's one of the most influential out there: Derek Roddy. He's best known for his work with Hate Eternal and Nile, but these days he mostly does clinic work if I remember correctly. He's also one of the most down to earth, reasonable, no-bullshit musicians I've ever had the pleasure of speaking with.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

I've never seen Derek Roddy. Have heard amazing things. Good tip!

[@jason1888]

I smoked some chicken legs and ate them while watching this. You gotta please as many senses as you can all at the same time. Crazy accurate drumming right there.

[@Onegeftw]

this song is an absolute monster! Made my day that you whent that dark! gonna have to agree with all the other dudes here saying you should check out the song with vocals aswell. Alex Terrible (vocals) has the lowest scream / growl that i have ever herd. This song is just an absolute banger. and the drums sound even better Imo on top of the track. just masterfully played

[@bereserik]

Actually loled how frozen you were the first minute

[@kylekinney9455]

I'm with you man, whether or not this is yours/my style of music or anyone else's (its totally mine though) how could someone not recognize and properly acknowledge the musicianship and artistry it takes to do things like this? I think 75% of those dislikes have 1 thing in common..jealousy..love your reactions thank you

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Thanks Kyle. The best thing about making these videos is I have to stop and listen to something I wouldn't normally. And it's being amazing. Totally changed things for me

I agree with his drumming is like the Olympics. To get to my fastest double kick speed it too me 2 years of 3 hr days drumming that I even got to master the swivel technique to match my speed. And if you had a few days off you could feel then strain of trying to keep up.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

I bet Dan!

[@lilwoowoowoozie9242]

STP is the band. 'Demolisher' is the song name. Fun fact: Evgeny plays with the sticks upside down so he's actually holding the heads of the sticks and the butts of the sticks are the ones actually hitting the heads

Another fantastic pick by the community! :) If you've not come across them before, "Northlane" have a a song "Leech" that I think you'll seriously enjoy watching. Nic's drumming has a rather unique use of space and has some really tasty rhythmic choices regardless of being a reasonably heavy band. Video link here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sIDOi5SEncSkeqM
