Hardcore Drummer Needs 11 More Brains To Play Anything Like Sebastian Lanser of Obscura

stupid octopus man i love him

[@fiend_uk]

the fretless bass clown was so good

[@sikkis4007]

"Everytime I hear a fretless bass I imagine it's been played by a clown." Man... I had to pause and have a silent moment for what ever I used to imagine when I heard a fretless bass. A silent moment for the man, husband, a father that I used to be. I'm still having the silent moment as I am writing this and it feels like ages. I will never be the same. It's... the clowns... with... fretless bass... the clowns... with... help me... please...

[@ChordxClient]

Forever ruined fretless bass for me with this perfect analogy

[@lim_jaheylol778]

Just found this guys channel and I have to agree. The fucking clown bass has me dying laughing every time I hear it

[@SnapuSwipe]

@@lim_jaheylol778 OMG i had exactly the same issue. Wtf has he just done to us. I fking cannot build up any resistence against it after this fking clown analogy. I am done.

[@rafaeltrujillo_official]

I watched that bass part at 4:46 a hundred times haha, so good

[@PxRatixck]

Epic

[@albertomarchesini5589]

Thx Craig i will never take fretless bass seriously again

[@t3hgir]

Elliot Hoffman does a lot of those quintuplet "falling down the stairs" fills too.

[@KevinCorkran]

there's so many of them. dying for an Elliot Hoffman reaction

[@Chartruse5]

Let's get the ol Hoff on here!

[@rockbandftmfw9]

Dying for one as well!

[@ryanshreevedrums]

He’s such an underrated drummer. I reckon he could convincingly play any genre and nail it

[@CynicalSmoke77]

Been saaaying this!

[@XTyrannicalX]

10:40: "I'm in the woods... being chased--by a goblin, a ghoul."

[@victorcamargo7868]

😂😂😂😂I’m deadddddd

[@KevinCorkran]

"im realizing late into my drumming career that it's absolutely fine to bend forwards...... and get pegged. NO um-" LMAO

[@ungloryhunter]

Lost it haha

[@neonblack211]

"is this what Obscura sounds like now?" I've had so many of those moments, and yeah they sound fucking great

[@TwoandaHater]

Don't ever apologize for adding cool tidbits about gear and the playing!

[@millenwagon]

Sebastian is such a controlled and calculated player, absolute joy to watch.

[@The_LaughingHyena]

I love Sebastian's jazz work as well. The song is an amazing display of skill; thanks for bringing him to our attention.

[@DavidBriganti421]

I’ve always said a fretless bass sounds like a deaf person speaking as a fretted bass were someone who is not deaf speaking. If you can imagine the sounds

[@ArtinColdwind]

I had to watch the clown thing over and over again like 5 times.

[@KvltKrist]

I appreciate how you appreciate technique and theory. The explaining of rudiments and description of YT comments turned me into a sub. Good shit.

[@jaimiday7048]

“Clown is coming to get you, the clown is comin”. 🤣🤣💀

[@julesdrums6167]

I don't know how I found you, but I'm very glad I did. Keep it coming.

[@zombiesateourchannel]

Back in the late 1990es we had our rehearsal room next to Unknown Dimension, Sebastian's band back then. He was unreal even as a 14 year old. By the way, their bass player - Andie Heyer - was one year younger and pure awesomeness as well. Such a rare concentration of talent.

[@facepalmjesus1608]

Elliot Hoffman and Bobby Jarzombek for ultra fast pregnancy

[@mathewyerry2072]

The guy who just retired as the drummer of fleshgod apocolypse and became the singer .... he’s insane as hell

[@simongrove]

Holy fuck that fretless bass bit got me GOOD 💀

[@DEADLINETV]

A lot of people refer to that blast as the Dirk Blast, after Dirk Verbeuren. Pretty cool! And great video, always a joy to watch and listen to you, er, pauze!

[@Virvum_Juggernaut]

Sebastian is in a league of drumming Gods.His Tama set-up is not dissimilar to David Diepold’s (Existential Battle & Hymns playthroughs). Identical paint scheme even! P.S. David’s also in the aforementioned league.

[@Scotty515]

Sebastian is disgusting. Obscura are sick, and Panzerballett are nuts. Those 16th note gallops going foot to foot blow my mind, so instead of going RLR RLR RLR RLR he's going RLR LRL RLR LRL, clearly he's some kind of advanced life form!

[@yodathehutt1557]

Freaking sick sh*t! 🤘

[@dimetime0]

That "Aussie guy" is actually a kiwi

[@WinterGibbs]

great video as always

[@TJCombo67]

Dude you are freaking hilarious, if the drum thing doesn’t pan out long term you should try some stand up comedy. Love the vids.

[@Neuri]

do Baard playing "the sky is red"

[@icipher6730]

Or Moon. Fucking Moon.

[@rhodrijones6321]

Thanks Slim

[@pascalschulz5894]

that moment when you're doing the drinking game for every pause he does and you have to pause the vid yourself because you can't fucking keep up I love it

[@RTSRAZORBACK]

I love the description 😆

[@reverieofmusic436]

11:29 That is the most sincere "Oh my god." I've ever heard

[@caseyrogers573]

ALTERNATING galloping 16ths!!

[@drummerdudeguy4657]

Did anyone else notice dude had his drum key in his snare the whole play through?! GOAT moves!!

[@13spiders]

That fart sniffer button is wonderful. Sebastian rules and I appreciate the breakdown of the patterns here!

[@HKRocks]

That 2 handed blast is one of Dirk Vebueren's main techniques.

[@TupDigital]

Yup i believe it is known as THE "Doik Blasht"

[@strider2007]

I was waiting for this very moment.

[@keithwyckoff5618]

Just found your channel. I'm a drummer as well (not a great one lol) and I watch drum videos and have the same reactions as you lololol. I'm dying over here.

[@Luvenhart]

Fart sniffing sound for SMS notification! xD

[@stevenraparelli3396]

Rediculous! Sabastian Lancer is a sick talent. Hey Craig, I like that circus bass sound.

[@danoi99]

"I don't know what's happening here, I can't give you anything!" Spat my tea over my phone then. 🤣🤣

[@marcovillanueva809]

I almost literally died from laughing at this Clown’s bass interpretation

[@i.r.drummer]

You should react to Alex Rudinger playing Ordinance: This Theory Repeating. Sick playing, and it makes you hate yourself a little more knowing he was 18 when he wrote it.

[@MetalFreak187]

Any reactions for the original drummer for sylosis, guy was such a beast man

[@drewcadaver]

So incredibly underrated, eh? A very nice guy too, was Mr Callard. They stayed at my house after a show with Dragonforce years ago, spent quite a while talking to Rob about his unevenly sized legs :D

[@mattgracie348]

Felt depressed, so I came back to watch clown bass explanation.

[@MrSmithvideo]

I am still in the woods, being chased by that Goblin.

[@TupDigital]

Brother you cracked me up so much in this one i now have two distinct ass cracks

[@Chrismagnu]

Did you edit some parts out? Anyway, love the reactions, keep them coming, i’ll give you that sweet ad-money anytime!

[@TheYokeOfFaith]

Great take on the fretless bass.. got the same feeling from Cynics first album back in the 90's.

[@dracdrum]

Ha-ha, jokes on you... I watched zero ads. :)

[@lloydgriffiths1847]

I fucking love these videos

[@drsus0]

I would love to hear your take on JoJo Mayer... specially his 2020 drumeo festival vid.

[@dconvergadon5281]

"Good band though! Filled with clowns..." 😂😂😂😂Man, I know you said that with the sincerest appreciation and utmost respect for the band, but fuck, it was jokes... Lol love your channel.

[@HKRocks]

Heard alot of great stuff about the Acrolite snare and the Pork pie ones too

[@Trasselsudd123]

Quote of the year "Love me a pause"

[@jm_hav]

Veil of Maya - Visera playthrough please! :D

[@yodathehutt1557]

Love veil of maya

[@brettcrawford4215]

Holy fuck I was mind blown on so many parts of this. Didn't think I'd be into this band until I heard the drums

[@TheSadistNat1on]

that bend forward and get pegged thrown in real fast joke, real nice

[@jacksonthetaco165]

You gotta check out Gavin Harrison, his performance of Anesthetize or Threatening War is insane. if you want to see him live with his band Porcupine Tree I’d recommend Way Out of Here in Tilburg.

[@TheCrumbleOne]

Oh, he's going foot to foot!!

[@thomassmith1148]

Click this vid as i crack a beer. Little did i know we were playing a drinking game.

[@ucatolica2008]

Mystical

[@chemicaloli]

Would love to see a reaction to Phil Dubois (Revocation) - The Blackest Reaches. An oldie, but most definitely a goodie

[@RTSRAZORBACK]

Yessssssss

[@MrKezzaRHCP]

11:00 wouldn't say they were rushed, they are exactly with teh guirtar section there... i know why you'd think it though, but works in the fill

[@ostravia]

They do have a new bassist now. Wonder what he will bring to the table?

[@JoshuaBoulard]

Already drank too much before watching you video. This was a great end to my night man. Respect. Not a drummer btw.

[@kiwiingenuity6666]

There's is nothing like a good feed of chicken nuggets after a hards night on the piss, there's something so healing about the nugs aye, saying that mc Donalds nuggets don't seem to be soft or greasy enough to soak up the cocaine and alcohol.

[@joost2268]

You should check out any Elliot Hoffman drum cam, that dude is so fucking sick

[@COOLAUSTINO]

"i'm in the woods, being chased by a goblin, or a ghoul" lmao

[@lashedandscorned]

should have do a video on the Diluvium or Ten Sepiroth playthrough too

[@TheIvmanProject]

Also check out Sebastians playing in Panzerballet

[@KyeASPIRE]

That fretless bass clown dis. Damn near fell off my chair hahaha

[@ProctorBOMH]

Don't know whether this verges into 'fart sniffer' territory or not, but I actually own a serpent ride that Derek used for a clinic tour!

[@jackcafarella1062]

Clockworks drum cam.

[@ChateauJuice]

Yes.

[@drummachine5787]

The death metal fretless bass sounds like a mix of a fart and the teacher from Charlie Brown

[@sundayfunday2011]

You haven't seen nothing till you see Chris turner - trigger or 40 roll

[@25stealthshooter]

And how I’m pretty sure David d is their drummer now

[@TheJTK123]

David Diepold is the new drummer of Obscura now. Both extremely fucking ridiculous drummers

[@chris.bradshaw]

Please do a side project in pure baby voice only breaking into normal voice where formally appropriate

[@SeenFeen]

I fear the baby voice

[@ryandenney4903]

Yo this dude

[@dylonbangss2804]

DUDE I FUCKING LOVE U LMFAO.

[@scottbakes2451]

In all serious seriousness can I buy one of those snares mate 😂

[@ArtinColdwind]

also, the true Norwegian jazz metal thing was damn fckining funny! I am still laughing on that!

[@MetalFreak187]

"You've obviously gone hehehe il watch it" yep yep correct, your click bait is the right kind

[@litey9156]

Blake Richardson Obfuscation! you wont be disappointed

[@jamisonandrewmanhorvaththe1124]

should’ve reacted to Sebastians play through of Sermon of the Seven Suns, modulations all over that song, absolutely disgusting.

[@brunosilvavarotto1201]

Hey man!!! Greetings from Brazil...react to Fernando Schaefer...an awesome brazilian drummer...he plays death and hardcore with such power, creativity and dinamic... Check out his work with The Silence...We still stand festa Billy Graziadei (Bio Hazard)...you rock bro...

[@Francisah]

Craig, I need ideas for a Tinder bio. Thanks

[@Apocaclips]

Dont ask him, he doesnt get any dick.

[@JpDubbed]

The end tho 😂🤦🏼‍♂️

[@7tomi8]

When u say u don’t know wtf he is playing groups of three with the right hand

[@7tomi8]

You could do it 👀

[@sammedina970]

You should check out spencer Moore from inferi for foot work

[@kevinp4465]

Watch Arnaud Verrier play Outlaw

[@dboy69395]

You should react to that stick to the path band

[@boodee5367]

You should react to Oki Fadhlan - Jasad (Siliwangi) Drum playthrough 🤘🏿

[@lastditch727]

That was the Dirk blast i believe, he's got an old video up about it. Fart sniffaaahhh

[@ChaosPootato]

Fretless bass is great but it has a tendancy to sound like a grumbling belly, the kind that precedes catastrophic bowel failure

[@jaimiday7048]

😂😂😂😂

[@joshrichards6486]

"concentration mouth" 🤣🤣🤣

[@vitunpelle602]

React to Hannes Grossmann, specifically the song "Alter magnitudes" by Alkaloid. He's an actual fucking beast.

[@TheSadistNat1on]

[@TheSadistNat1on]
