This solo is waaaay beyond any of those other show off videos you typically from other drummers "solos". This one clearly has a line, a story. There's a begining, there's evolution, and there's an end. THIS is a how a drum solo should be. Everything else is just non-sense show off.

[@Bs73471]

how the fuck does this dude only have 21k subs? Hes one of today's top drummers

[@PW_Thorn]

There are so many absolute « monster drummers » on planet earth. But when I listen to vidz like that, I know why I’m a Baard’s fan ! His drumming is unique !

[@jason1888]

I went to a Between the Buried and Me concert. Leprous(a band I hadn't heard before) opened for them. Leprous is now one of my favorite bands. I love BTBAM, and I have to say, you guys owned that show. It was amazing. Thank you for sharing your talent with us. 🇳🇴 🇺🇸

[@JoshuaPlaysMusic]

Leprous are AMAZING!!! They're an acquired taste but I freaking love them!

[@turboturtlehead]

Amazing angles and sound, and of course drumming

[@olenavolatile8827]

at about 3rd minute I suddenly realized that there was no music other than drums 😆 sounds so incredibly all-sufficient, fantastic

[@duckindave]

Been following Baard for years. I think this is definitely my favourite drum solo of his. Phenomenal. His hard work and endeavour has paid off. He is surely reaping the rewards from it. Terrific skill, wonderful timing and great musicality. In my view he is the best drummer in the world. Rock on 🤘

[@sonvult583]

the fucking sheer talent is crazy and then Leprous get the skin rolling with goosebumps, the drumming just icing on a killer cake.

[@Panda_SMM]

Hell yeah dude. Awesome. Your work with Leprous stands on its own, and it's up there with the best of all time, imo.

New video!

[@bleedgoat]

This is from the live stream no?! Love it!

[@gamefreak249]

Great stuff, shame the livestream itself was of poor quality. The framerate was so low it wasn't really enjoyable to watch.
