Bastian Thusgaard - Soilwork - "Death Diviner"

[@musemuser777]

Love those half measure double kick speed ups.... Such a great Soilwork song... RIP Dr. Dave 🙏✝️🙏

[@joakimericson2240]

Bastian, thanks a lot for all these playthroughs, I love them. And I was a bit distraught first when I heard that Dirk left the band, but I have to say you're doing an amazing job taking up the torch after him. You style is a little bit different, but I really like it and think it works really, really well. The last album was amazing, I'm keeping my fingers crossed we get a lot more amazing stuff from Soilwork with you behind the kit!

[@BastianThusgaard]

Thank you for saying that Joakim. Really appreciate it. It was no joke stepping in after Dirk and I still struggle some times. My style and approach is a little bit different yes. I'm glad you see this as a positive addition to the band. Much more fun for us as well when we don't have to copy the previous drummer 100% ✌🏻

[@vernonpurdue928]

@Joakim Ericson seems like it is the plight of Soilwork fans to lament the loss of a drummer only to celebrate the arrival of the new drummer. I was sad when Henry left but happy that Dirk joined ( admittedly I knew nothing about Dirk back then, had no idea how incredibly good he is). Now the same applies to Dirk / Bastian. I also wish for many more Soilwork albums with Bastian on the throne 🤟🔥

@@BastianThusgaard can you play spectrum of eternity out of interest? i would love to hear ur take on it

[@BastianThusgaard]

@@QuickMathMan191, I have plans of doing a cover of it. Some day I'll get it done 😊🤘🏼

Tons of control while you play. Fucking awesome!

Been blasting this song since it came out. Thanks for posting this, Bastian! 😁

[@BastianThusgaard]

Awesome! 😊👍🏻

I dont know how many times I watched this! Your drums sound incredible man! I love your playing! So relaxed and effortless! Thanks for the videos!

Love your style, buddy. Always a treat watching you play.

[@BastianThusgaard]

Thank you John 🙏🏻

[@DarktechKelly]

Anytime I get down on myself about my drumming, I come here to Bastian's channel and it always inspires me to get back on the kit and play more. Sure do appreciate your content, man!

[@BastianThusgaard]

Thank you for saying that Shane. It means a lot. I'm so happy you find inspiration and motivation to get behind the drum kit from my content. Cheers man!

[@alessandroborghese8148]

Awesome track and great drumming

[@BastianThusgaard]

Thank you so much 🙏🏻

[@yoannleblond]

Some awesome fills here! And a mastered clean play all the way through, great job!

[@rbfqueen]

A new song *and* a new video all in one week, what nice surprises! I really enjoy watching your playthroughs, so thank you for continuing to put them up. Any chance you'll put together transcriptions for the Feverish trilogy? (I imagine they're a beast to do but official ones are ❤)

[@BastianThusgaard]

Thank you Lauren. I will put together transcriptions for the Feverish Trinity and put on my website soon. Thanks for asking. It already has all the songs from Verkligheten and the Underworld EP in there. I also have a transcription video coming for this song, so be on the lookout. 😊

[@wizetek]

After five days straight of listening to the new EP this is now my favorite piece playing on repeat at home and in the car. Amazing!

[@BastianThusgaard]

Awesome! That's great to hear 🤘🏼

[@matthewkoen6124]

I have recently discovered soilwork and I must say Verkligheten was amazing, and now this single is absolutely fantastic. For real, you sir, are a fantastic drummer. Cheers from South Africa

[@BastianThusgaard]

Thank you so much Matthew. Cheers! 😊

[@larshandberg5917]

As always, awesome. Great track, great footwork...and those shoes...you're on fire dude!

[@BastianThusgaard]

Glam-skoene 😂😂😂

[@calizonian1775]

1:36, I had to rewatch 10 times, then had to slow it down and rewatch 10 more times. I dont know the technical term but its like a 3/4 to 4/4 in 32nd notes, i dunno but shit, that was awesome.

[@renatomaio3324]

Bastian...these videos are insane...i just want to jump behind my kit and play over and over. you inspire me big time! cheers from Cabo Verde Islands

[@BastianThusgaard]

Thank you Renato. So glad to hear that man 🙏🏻

[@mikaelnore6766]

I was never woried Bastian 😎🤘🏼 You rock...

[@wizetek]

Cheers from Toronto in Canada. Can't wait to see you live again someday.

[@BastianThusgaard]

Cheers! Can't wait to get back 😊

[@emilsn91]

Det er så fedt. De unge danske metaltrommeslagere har virkelig et godt forbillede i din stil og din karriere.

[@majorlee1]

Awesome! Kit sounds good! 🤘👌🥁

[@summitkakkar442]

fab!!!!!

[@alope9085]

Love that build up into 3:44 double bass . Could listen to that all day. Awesome work

[@BastianThusgaard]

Thanks. Yeah it's a rather simple song in the beginning so all about picking the right moment to go nuts 😂 Cheers!

[@darkrhonan]

This is phenomenal. Soilwork has been my favorite band for more than a decade. I wear a hat I got at a concert in Canada back in 2013 every single day. Every single song has inspired me to be a better musician and chase the melodic death metal dream. You're a testament to what can be achieved through practice and discipline, and the end result is getting to create music with the greatest band on the planet. I listened to Verkligheten 100 times in the first week it released and could not get over your talent. Composing drums is truly one of the most difficult arts, in any genre let alone MDM, and you are perhaps one of the most gifted composer I've had the pleasure of listening to in decades. Keep fucking shredding and i'll keep listening, you're the envy of all of us who grew up wishing we could one day shred alongside Bjorn.

[@BastianThusgaard]

Thank you so much for saying that Riley. I absolutely try my best. Recording Verkligheten was a great experience for me and I was truly thankful for the freedom I was giving composing the drum parts. Very proud of the result, so I'm really happy about receiving feedback like this 😊 Thanks so much for the support and best of luck with your music as well 🤘🏼

[@SimenMyrbakken]

Awesome as always, Bastian 🤘🏼😎

[@BastianThusgaard]

Tack Simen 👍🏻

[@vernonpurdue928]

Oh boy replacing Dirk Verbeuren is no mean feat but you sir have done a fantastic job! Great song, great play through👏👏 I look forward to many more Soilwork albums!!!👌🔥🤟

[@BastianThusgaard]

Thank you for saying that 🙏🏻

[@davidcaldera6481]

Hi Bastian! Thank you for sharing these kind of videos... They're truly educative... I learn as i enjoy the song! It's a good deal! You're doing a great job bro! Don't forget Henry Ranta played there in a swedish melodic death metal era... Then came Dirk with his style and now you're the one with the sticks! I was there when you played here in Chile. It was amazing! Keep drumming that way bro!!! Keep drumming!!!

[@BastianThusgaard]

Thank you David. I'm very glad to hear that. That's a great combo for sure 😊 Chile was a great experience. I hope we get back there someday. Cheers ✌🏻

[@SuperBlazeomatic]

Bastian thank you for these playthroughs. I learn alot from watching them! You've done an AWESOME job filling in for Dirk and making the songs your own. I also really love your smooth and easy playing style, You make it look waaaaay to easy ha like the incredible live version of Arrival. SO GOOD! Also Cult of None from Arcane Order is one of the best albums in the last 10 years and your playing really elevates it! Cheers from Las Vegas.

[@BastianThusgaard]

You're absolutely welcome. Thanks for the support. Truly appreciate it. I was only lucky enough to be the live drummer for 'Cult of None', so Morten Loewe did another fantastic job recording it, but we have a new TAO album coming with me on drums 😊

[@SuperBlazeomatic]

@@BastianThusgaard oh crap I didn't know you weren't on Cult of None! But yes can't WAIT to hear you on the new one!

[@BastianThusgaard]

@@SuperBlazeomatic no worries man 😊

[@shuramanchka]

Soilwork is my favorite band of all times and this sound so beautiful and crisp. You are amazing Bastian! But I have to ask, why is the sound so disappointing live?

[@rinaldomohammad7721]

Awesome Rinaldo 👍🏻 Thank you 😎

[@SinisterSkip]

OAhsome dude

[@skytrept7691]

Nice!! Could you upload feverish, please. Your Drumstyle there is awesome and killing!

[@BastianThusgaard]

Thanks man, I have plans of getting that done as well. The timing for me was a bit off since it was recorded between festivals and then more touring came in the way, so never got around to do it. It will be on here eventually. Cheers!

[@marcelstadler]

Great stuff man , quick question , do you find it much easier with the two bass drums than playing with a double pedal?

[@BastianThusgaard]

Thank you Marcel. I think two kicks are easier to play, but it also creates some more distance between the rest of the kit which I don't like too much. I prefer to have everything close. Actually I just went back to one kick, but it's cool to be able to switch back and forth.

[@marcelstadler]

Bastian Thusgaard awesome thanks man, keep on killing it

[@LenartMlinar]

Amazing drumming Bastian! Love your tight playing and I think you fit the band perfectly after Dirks departure! One nerdy question: do you mix your drums yourself or do you have it done for you? 'Cos it sounds freaking massive! Any chance of having a look at the mixing settings haha? 😁 Great work man, looking forward seeing and hearing more of you! 🤘 Rock on!

[@BastianThusgaard]

Hey Lenart, Thanks a lot buddy 🙏🏻 For the latest videos Thomas 'Plec' Johansson has done the mix, so tbh I don't have any settings. I am slowly getting into the mixing proces myself, but it's pretty tough and time consuming I think... Sorry for not being at more help regarding your question 😊

[@LenartMlinar]

@@BastianThusgaard Thanks for the info! Yeah, it is very tough and time consuming, specially if you're new in the world of producing 😂 Nevertheless, killer sound mate! 🤘😁

[@RobbieFitzgerald]

Are we going to get a playthrough for Feverish?

[@BastianThusgaard]

Yes I will get around to do it hopefully soon 😊

[@RobbieFitzgerald]

@@BastianThusgaard awesome!

[@darkdua]

Very interesting to see that u twitch a bit on right side while increasing the double bass speed in the chorus. Is it intentional or just reflex to increased foot speed?

[@BastianThusgaard]

It might be a little bit of both actually. I tend to learn forward when increasing the speed and that probably re-position my feet a little bit 😊
