Bastian Thusgaard - Soilwork - "The Ride Majestic"

[@nicosand86]

came here after watching the Death Diviner video. That song really caught me by surprise. Never been the biggest soilwork fan, but there's plenty of kick ass songs, but Death Diviner truly shot to my all time favorite because of the drums in that song. I just caught me instantly! Amazing work!

[@alexplus6826]

late for the kill early for the slaughter that my friend will also blow your mind but let's be honest .. the ride majestic is something .. maybe their greatest song. soilwork is amazing but bjorn strid on is own is something what a talent

[@andreereynolds3782]

Was super skeptical of anyone stepping into Dirks shoes... But you got the chops kid! 👍🏻

[@NYspeedDrummer]

I felt the same way.....but he is absolutely KILLING IT!!!

[@gudalpesanz]

This dingy kid is awesome.

[@grindingice]

Such a fantastic song...those drums drive it man!! Great job

[@MusiCaninesTheMusicalDogs]

Three things: - great drumming! It's amazing how effortless it looks; - that green kit is really beautiful. I usually don't care about this kind of thing, but this one stands out; - the tone of the snare is fabulous!

[@Jeudaos]

WOW, never seen anybody be able to make Dirks drumlines look like a warm up. Very impressive.

[@petew-berg7791]

I would like to see some tracks off of the living infinite…

[@SevenDevils88]

Soilwork is easily one of my top 5 favourite bands, since Natural Born Chaos. I've seen Dirk's entire tenure behind the kit and always thought of him as "Soilwork's drummer". That's how definitive I thought he was. Needless to say, I was scared shitless when I heard that he was joining Megadeth. When I saw you were also drumming for The Arcane Order, I figured you knew your way around a drum set, but you're an absolute beast. I've watched all your Soilwork playthroughs and you're the perfect person to follow Dirk. Stellar work and I can't wait to hear the new album.

[@nicolasbastien1827]

Always so clean, great job! And the sound of the whole kit is absolutely wonderful.

[@Izztana666]

Simply outstanding drumming.

[@learningisgrowing]

The drums sound incredible! Great playing. Well done!

[@austinbailey6175]

He’s so good and so easy on the eyes. I could watch those calves work for hours.

[@dalvindrums2475]

I really like your drumming on the new Soilwork album Bastian, keep up the great work!!

[@drftsnvk]

Brilliant!

[@RanjanKumar-bu7ws]

So effortless playing man, great job

[@MEGALODONN1]

Cuando te vi en lima en al parte de afuera del lugar fumando un cigarro con markus pensé que eras parte del grupo pero staf, yo esperaba a Dirk y cuando te veo sentarte en la batería me pregunté que paso con Dirk no estuvo y espere a que empezarás a tocar pensando que tal lo hará y a la primera que empiezas me quedo 😲 del poder que tienes para tocar y de lo que estaba parado mirándote me volví loco que brutal este broo realmente es lo máximo toca la batería increíblemente, de haber sabido desde el principio que el que estaba afuera eras tu otra hubiese sido la historia porque te hubiese dado un abrazo de fan que nunca olvidarias y mi super reconocimiento a tu gran talento, que brutal eres bastian salud 🍻🍻🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@maurizioplati6902]

Great!Happy to see you in Italy soon!🤘

[@SinisterSkip]

Snare goes TAF!!!

[@theralpha]

Excellent job dude much respect!!

[@thecyrhus]

That drumkit sounds soooooo good !

[@jmhanelineiv]

I love watching these. Keep them coming!

[@RobertPessagno]

I hope you record the next Soilwork album here! Hansen Studios always has the best drum sound in my opinion, and plus Jacob Hansen is the MAN.

[@jean-louishamid5285]

Done!

[@danielm94437]

amaranthe records there too

[@PureBrutalMetal]

Simply amazing.

[@DasMuse]

I can't wait to hear your original work with the band on this next album.

[@trentonkingan4825]

Awesome Drum kit, drumming was badass as well

[@theadamblock]

My gosh do these drums sound great!

[@jeremiahlee1981]

Absolutely bashing in the best way possible

[@johangonzalez9865]

Hello friend how are you ... I see that you changed brands made me sad because I'm a fan of the mapex brand but in the same way very good work excellent clean and creative execution as always, I would like to know your opinion and experience of this change I really liked the sound of your music with the snare black panther sledgehammer.

[@gothyke]

Yes!!! Great work

[@metusaalemi]

Awesome drumming, man!!! Love your work on new Soilwork album! Have a great tour with Amo-gyus :D

[@Anders_Johansson]

Awesome Bastian! I saw you at Linköping back i november last year! So grateful to be at that gig. So intense, could stand in front, and just watch you play sooo effortless. Awesome! Keep it up! Warm regards from Sweden, Norrköping!

[@BastianThusgaard]

Tack Anders! It's very kind of you to say that. Thanks for coming out. Hopefully We'll be back soon. Cheers!

[@BastianThusgaard]

Thanks Anders! Hopefully We'll make it back someday. Cheers!

[@DAppite]

Sei proprio bravo 💪💪💪💪👍👍👍😁😁

[@marcovillanueva809]

Man that was so fuckin sick, holy shit, but maybe if miracles happen... could you tape shining lights, that song is so sick, by far one of the greatest of Dirk, cheers dude for being in the band too

[@retodrummer]

Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@erickrl]

fodaão!!

[@olelorenzen9063]

Godt arbejde Bastian. Fandeme lækkert spillet.

[@BastianThusgaard]

Tak Ole!

[@martaski]

Awesome :D

[@JonEastling23]

THIS IS SO NECRO! \m/

[@metaltech1000]

Yeahhh those ghost notes

[@slowemm]

2:36 Sick!!

[@FeisalKassim]

2020

[@stephenchow5161]

niiiiccccceeee!

[@dmk_weaver]

Very good my friend! I see that you are not recording in your home studio. Does that mean you and Soilwork are already recording a new album? :-)

[@Sol3vit4]

When listening to that song you expect an agressive-looking, long haired and tattoed drum-monster sitting behind a drum kit, totally killing it. What you get to see instead ist a relaxed blonde "good-boy"-guy sitting there with a face that says: "Aren´t we done yet?" *yawn*. Very nice!

[@williamjeffersonclinton69]

Great drummer but he does need to bring some energy. He makes drumming.look boring. His skill is awesome but he has the *yawn* factor dialed to 11.

[@LoggR84]

Sick, dude!!! As always perfect... o.O Just one tiny thing. The original's syncopated bass drum hit in the bridge at 2:36 is such a signature beat. Did you chose to play it differently? If so why? Thanks for your work man!! Keep it coming

[@derekjakoboski8987]

I can't hear the difference, what does the original do that this version doesn't?

[@NYspeedDrummer]

@@derekjakoboski8987 I'm usually a stickler for this as well...and it sounds perfect to me?

[@nettoflorestal]

I like his Kraftwerk way of playing

[@venz5179]

Not at Antfarm studio :(

[@noreply5552]

The first 5 seconds of this video deam you the manikin challenge winner of the world.

[@jordansmith4775]

Why no blast beats

[@Mr_tiger_5682]

Dude, ur name is Bastian and you’re a drummer. Bastian is my nickname for my name Sebastian and I’m a drummer😂😂😂

[@AUM_-po9sc]

Good playing, but my scepticism is not going anywhere, until I will hear something like "Spectrum of Eternity" being played.

[@Vladd0r]

super nice and creamy

[@simonatamas9627]

🥁🥁🥁❤️❤️❤️\M/

[@33gabyangel]

Him is realy good, the thing is that he looks something mechanic.

[@GridedNecroButcher]

Бля, какой рост у этого пацана?

[@bgdtlbrs]

You actually need to do "heel and toe" in this song ahhaha

[@jensharald9091]

!?

[@dirtpipedan]

hes no Dirk.

[@williamjeffersonclinton69]

Soilwork is one of my top 10 bands. Bastian is an amazing drummer. But one issue. He lacks the flair drummers bring. Every great band has a drummer who gets into it. This man just plugs away making it look easy with no emotion. Bro... Where is the fun? You look bored. How are fans to get into new songs if you act so robotic?

[@aspyr5681]

I don't know man, you're clearly skilled, this was a great cover, but I'm not quite "feeling it" to be honest. I'm not trying to be snobby or anything, I wanna share what I think and perhaps motivate you to do even better, after all, walking in Dirk's shoes is not an easy job. I'm looking forward to the new material though, I'm hoping for fresh things and not copycat material, even though it would be great if you throw in a few legacy chops in there too, blast from the past if you know what I mean! (pun intended) Cheers

[@williamjeffersonclinton69]

I am sure live her has more energy. Here he just looks bored. That's where I get lost. I don't feel the energy. The fun. Just too robotic for me. His skill is off the chart just lacking flair.

[@rob82drum]

Its a Robot playing? No feelings... sucks

[@jasonfick4506]

Looking forward to hear what you do on the next album. Nice work sir.

[@BastianThusgaard]

Thank you! Things are sounding pretty good at the moment :-)
