BENIGHTED - "Morgue" - Live Drum Cam

[@hewhomustnotbenamed2470]

Kevin takes Benighted to a whole other level, one of the heaviest bands around

[@nic_actual]

KP's drumming literally got me into Benighted

[@stormcastv]

Holy shit! So much precision and technique. Amazing stuff! 👏🏼

[@falseath6191]

The king of ankle motion

[@prototheist]

No kidding. Everyone else either swivel or heel toe at this bpm

[@drtheengrumb4439]

I became a fan of Benighted when I seen your audition for Archspire.

[@x_data_x]

Single left-footed blasts on the kick. You’re just laughing in our faces dude.

[@nic_actual]

I saw that......... KP....How condescending 🤣😂

[@brianbutterworth6107]

I came here to say the same thing...not to mention no heel-toe ever, just pure speed.

[@FPAudioLabs]

yeah at this point he's just completing side quests for fun

[@FlAtLiNeD]

He switches what foot he leads with too! One section is just his right foot. Then just his left in another.

[@pcoledrums]

Great way to save stamina: right, left, and both are key for long measures and high BPM.😎👍💪

[@zubiac]

christ almighty. those single foot blasts are flawless

[@lastditch727]

Jeez dude. You're always getting better and faster. This is insane.

[@Augury666]

Is this the future Archspire drummer? ;)

[@bmorestance]

No, unless he shaves his head! Haha

[@Augury666]

@@bmorestance Hahahah nah there's enough aerodynamism in the band like that

[@bmorestance]

​@Augury666 haha right!

[@GTRoms]

Yuuuuuup

[@35057]

i was waiting to see if they would add him to their react videos.

[@sharimorrow]

Good solid drumming. I could watch and listen to it all day and all night. Superb.

[@Origynet]

J'attendais un playthrough de ce morceau, mon préféré d'Ekbom. Quelle perf à la batterie et quel album !

[@DrBlastianB]

I like the blasts on the additional snare!!! Also the BD tripletts are really nice in this song and insane to play at these tempos when there are so many one after the other ... Great as usual!

[@kevinparadisdrummer]

Thanks a lot ! I do not play this burst always that clean to be honest, same in Metastasis, so I work on heel toe to be maybe better at those !

[@DrBlastianB]

@@kevinparadisdrummer Well they look clean enough here for sure! I also started to work on heel toe for exactly this purpose recently, in particular when it is a variation with an eighth in between, but am far far from these tempi. I remember some of your older vids with heel toe where that also looked very clean! So looking forward to seeing that in action ...

[@bmorestance]

@DrBlastianB Nice vids. Do you keep your beaters close to the head? About what angel? Nevermind I see it better in another video. They seem pretty close. Hard getting used to!

[@DrBlastianB]

@@bmorestance Thanks! My settings are actually the standard ones with spring tension at max. So the angle should be 45 degrees when there is no pressure on the board. When playing I typically maintain a pressure so that it might look like the angle would be smaller. The motion is then only ankle ...

[@bmorestance]

@@DrBlastianB Thanks! I need to figure that out. Appreciate it

[@christophetassisto9908]

T é vraiment hallucinant à la batterie😱 une vraie boucherie j adore!!!👍👍🤘

[@zhdrums3872]

Part with the single footed blast and hi hat accents on side snare was So fuckin Sick!

[@Gael-do6pw]

That precision is hypnotic 🌟

[@BozKiller]

Superbe!!!! A plaisir pour les yeux tellement tout est fluide et semble si simple!!! Merci Kevin!!!

[@mattyouyou2590]

Bravo Kevin, respect!!! Tu es clairement entré dans le top 10 des meilleurs batteurs de métal extrême, bravo, la volonté et le travail paient!!!

[@MGBlast666]

0:54 blasting on tht piccolo sounds great

[@krdrums00]

It’s a side snare with the wires turned off

[@kevinparadisdrummer]

Nope, it is a Pearl Flatimbales ! but does sound a bit like a snare with the wires off indeed !

[@Weretarantula5]

So good. Très bien joué !

[@SimonTB_27]

J'ai trippé au show à Québec récemment!

[@chriskraus7419]

Making it look completely effortless as always🤘🤘

[@RobinGraham-wd3kf]

Single strokes!!❤

[@Lelama32]

oh my god. Man c'est indercriptible... les parts sont vraiment bien pensées et exécutées à la perfection. WOW

[@kevinparadisdrummer]

Merci !

[@emptyapi]

Flawless as always. Damn dude!

[@josebuzani2066]

You get better every video!

[@NooCanDoo]

Machine.

[@Arcipellaggio]

TIGHT AF!

[@tfwnoyandere]

never mind drums im switching to vocals

[@morquach64]

All drum "playthroughs" should use this audio. It sounds raw to me maybe it is edited in post I'm not sure. But you can hear that the song is not perfect like the album and that is perfectly fine because it is very close. If you want to make a video where everything sounds perfect and it is edited and engineered in post do not call it a playthrough call it a music video.

[@MGBlast666]

LETS GOOOOOOO

[@G9_Studios]

Hell yea!

[@craigstrickland1572]

This is so brutal my neck snapped before I could bang it!!

[@Rhyssscooter]

First comment, I feel honored knowing Kevin will read this.

[@beyond_the_tequila_rift3194]

Cheesus fuck!! That song went so fuckin hard 🤯

[@pcoledrums]

😎👍💪

[@metlheaddrumr]

This is why you are the best candidate for archspire

[@snailduck]

Fucking hell, delivering as always. Is the left foot blasting to let your right foot breathe or just to be ambidextrous - or both?

[@The0nlyy]

I feel like it could be showing off LOL. If it was exhausting or difficult then you’d use both feet. It’s rare to see anyone blast that fast with one foot!

[@kevinparadisdrummer]

On this part, it make the transition to the 16th single stroke easier, and indeed it also let my right foot rest and make my left work a bit, otherwise, if I play all blast with the right one, the left one has way more training !

[@KarlJames666]

just left footed blasts because why the fuck not.... ;)

[@danisukam-fi6bk]

unique drummer 😅

[@bmac4]

It's hard to tell if the drum set is screaming "mercy" in English or screaming "merci" in French as thank you for how passionately you seem to be making love to it

[@DjediVibrations]

What is a drummer

[@ChaosPootato]

A miserable pile of blast beats

[@bmorestance]

You make it look so easy! Question though... if you got on someone else's random drum kit, would you be able to do those foot techniques without tweaking the settings?

[@The0nlyy]

That’s like asking if a nascar professional driver could win a race by driving a Honda civic. Part of mastering your instrument is knowing how to tune it.

[@kevinparadisdrummer]

I don't really care about the bass drum rebound (except if mesh head !) with my ankle motion so yes, I would be too much bothered if I can take my pedal. If not, it really depend, sometime I even feel better on some other settings, sometime I just cannot really play fast !

[@bmorestance]

​@kevinparadisdrummer Thanks for replying! I have to keep tweeking my Axis and I can never find a sweet spot. I used to play a lot of punk shows and we all would use each others stuff, but I doubt you would ever need to do that! Haha

[@bmorestance]

​@@The0nlyyNah, it would be like if a Nascar driver used someone else's "Nascar" instead of their own.

[@mcAzcrew]

Those groups of threes...

[@prototheist]

Unholy singles

[@dulsrules]

Archspire doesn't deserve you. You are way overqualified for that job. I would mark you as the next Aeon drummer or maybe even Meshuggah drummer when Tomas leave (sooner then you think).

[@tfwnoyandere]

yes please come to aeon

[@1997slayerfan]

Kevin would be a great fit for Archspire and with great respect, he is not overqualified. Archspire is not AC/DC and the songs are very demanding. I would say he is perfectly qualified for that. Kevin in Meshuggah is a very wild idea, I dont think he would be a good fit. He can play their stuff, that I am sure about, but style wise I am not sure. There is a big age gap too and known each other for decades. Tomas is a important part of the band and I dont think they would continue without him. You claim that he will leave them soon is the biggest bullshit I read all day.

[@dulsrules]

@1997slayerfan@1997slayerfan Tomas is old. They are HUGE band and they deserve someone who can keep up. Same thing is going on with Cannibal Corpse and Paul. Nobody want to pay for a show and end up listening to Lars level of performance. Even if he is the big name, time is relentless. Band must be all time on peak of their performance during live shows. This is their main income. It must be perfect, no excuses.

[@1997slayerfan]

@@dulsrules While you are right about that, Tomas doesnt seem to lose his stamina or precision like Paul and Lars. Meshuggah are playing Bleed again in their live set and I havent seen or heard something where Tomas was off or struggling. If he maintains his body and skill with training and practice I dont see a problem. Look at Dave Lombardo, he has all of his power at nearly 60. Tomas is "only" 53 and I would argue Meshuggahs music is for the most part less physicaly demanding than whatever Lombardo does. They probably change their live set to easier songs, like Iron Maiden, before kicking Tomas out. Meshuggah is not Slipknot ;D. At least thats my opinion, but I guess only time will tell.

[@GTRoms]

C’est dommage à Cahors on ne te voyait pas bien, et la fumée n’arrangeait rien… T’es une bête

[@nibiru_1561]

Did he ever find out what a woman was?

[@jjskate4l1fe]

Lmao he does look like a metal Matt Walsh.

[@tfwnoyandere]

no need to insult kevin so harshly
