Dan Presland (Ne Obliviscaris) Forget Not play through

[@IronFleshOfficial]

Love the way he closes the hi hat during the double bass part ;)

[@learningisgrowing]

It's so classy, aye

[@blacktaxi2d]

One of the greatest tunes ever written. Also, it's crazy how long you can keep the kicks going like that in the middle

[@deliciousmentalfudge]

He's got a very impressive video of him playing double bass at 210 bpm for 10 minutes straight. I can't imagine the practice and dedication that went into pulling it off.

[@alexwales8914]

@@deliciousmentalfudge Fitness is an underrated aspect of black metal drumming. I think even a lot of decent athletes couldn't keep up moving each leg nearly twice a second for 10 minutes, in time and whilst doing other things with their hands.

[@kiroushi]

This is absolutely charming. Please do not ever stop making music.

[@vinskilindqvist4554]

Javier Pérez that’s exactly what he is going to do

[@LPLimitless]

this song is a masterpiece, this man is a legend.

[@darkdudironaji]

Not to brag, but I can almost play the first minute and a half of this one.

[@jzmmm]

ha!

[@johngavin1448]

darkdudironaji respect!

[@ragestuffin]

impressive!! i can only do 11:56..

[@natemtz6661]

looks at that precision. only a small faded spot on that snare. a year late in finding this but I am thoroughly enjoying these play through. so fresh. digging the long tracks.

[@Goodpointtips]

i could listen to the first 5 minutes of this forever. Possibly one of the most beautiful tunes to ever be made

[@BharatIndoria]

The best part about some metal bands is the way they express their love and respect for some other bands, like Dan is wearing Meshuggah Tee shirt despite the fact that NeObs are themselves extremely talented and successful too. I love Ne Obs.

[@fscorpion678]

Dude prolly just like mesuggah lol

[@frelopermanboy7426]

yes, it’s so cool when metal musicians like metal bands. lol

[@ghille121]

Absolutely cherish these play throughs, can't wait for songs from Citadel.

[@fakamada]

I'm simply mesmerized. That twin pedal performance? Oh, amazing!

[@folleyboy01]

Dan, you are a legend. No other song has made me feel so emotional. Thank you. Very excited for the new NeO album & wherever your career takes you.

[@DanPresland]

thanks thts very nice of you to say

[@sco9934]

i fucking love this band, never stop

[@tank5183]

ANNNNNND back here again to this majestic song :D

[@Gatitasecsii]

Wow sounds super tight in this video. I fucking love this band, with passion. I've never gotten so hard into a band, and right about one year after finding Beyond Creation which was my favorite band at the time, I found Ne Obliviscaris. You displaced BC. Still a fucking amazingly great band, but your music hits me hard...

[@johnny_eth]

BC is flipping amazing as well. Same musicianship, same talent, just different style. I love both bands !

[@bahuelga]

Best Christmas present ever! You're the man, Dan.

[@Syphon_Drummer]

Dan, it's amazing to see the progression you are going through. Especially recently, you and NO are going to be a big hit all over. It's so refreshing and inspiring to see a drummer and his band creating/playing death metal that is so musical, artistic, smooth and, well I could go on and on. Anyway, cheers mate! And happy holidays

[@DanPresland]

thanks a lot for your kind words man, it means a lot! Happy holidays to you too, cheers

[@triptychlux]

both harsh and soft the contrast is insane

[@dongeorgedays]

Dude @Danpresland this need more views. Just amazing.

[@Zeulara]

this band made me a metal lover, all of your songs are amazing.

[@kyleness12]

I love how the beginning ride he seems almost slightly lost. And then instantly starts slaying

[@Usopper.D]

Very impressive! Great play through🤯🤯

[@galadherethylfia9831]

Dan, you're such an amazing Drumer, and Neo is such an amazing band ! I 'm' so glad having discovered you in 2017 ! The future of drumming, and metal, is here !

[@danielbarriosferreira2348]

The whole song is amazing. But everything after 10:32 is SO FKING GOOD!

[@TheWitchOvAgnesi]

Finally... an extreme metal drummer who plays for the music. Love your work! Your playing style is very similar to mine, as well as your set-up (in terms of configuration, not brands).

[@Doatello1991]

@SpikeFlea Is this really considered extreme metal? Extreme metal tends to lack dynamics.

[@Doatello1991]

@SpikeFlea Actually maybe you could. The vocalist Xen has that extreme metal/black metal sound.

[@SpeedwayInc]

You are a fuckin genius man, along with the rest of the band.

[@equiusoceano8493]

I now feel 100x more confident about not being at the plateau I was at with drumming because this is basically my favorite drum pattern for the first part. Less is more here for sure and I can't wait to get back on my kit now.

[@Yuri73100]

Dan! You guys are amazing! When could I see Triptych Lux Play Through??? Please!!!! Your fan from Italy!

[@seraphale]

Damn, son! Can I getcha some chocolate milk or a leg massage?! 😄 You do make it look easy, though. Thank you for putting these videos up. As someone who doesn't play any instrument, it helps me understand what's going on and increases my enjoyment of what I'm listening to.

[@Shedblood7]

Reading and watching the results of your progression is just unbelievable!

[@KainLustt]

shared this as "I WANT YOU TO HAVE MY KIDS, I WANT THEM TO BE JUST LIKE YOU AND THEIR KIDS TO CALL YOU DADDY DAN" because seeing you excites me so fucking much man. Love your passion, love your work. Love the band. You are amazing!

[@DanPresland]

nahuel ratovicius haha, well, thanks!

[@KainLustt]

Remember this comment when someone tells you south american fans are the craziest :pp

[@rembo96]

One of my favorite songs. So beatiful and progressive, with such a graceful structure.

[@Diabolic9595]

Bro just never skips the leg day

[@macgyverrda]

Flawless as always. Great job.

[@cheyneharvey5566]

Hey Dan - just discovered NeO yesterday because I saw Allegaeon is coming to Arizona this December and you guys are headlining. I bought my ticket and checked you guys out. This song blows me away... you rock man!

[@DanPresland]

Cheyne Harvey see you there dude!

[@robertg305]

Amazing song. Love the playthrough! Great job my friend!

[@haystackdmilith]

To not lose the tempo while double bass in the middle at 8:38… :) Brilliant stuff!

[@BillyPalmerMusic]

Best thing ever, thanks so much for this!

[@stevesekora]

I played the first minute on a spoon and fork.. what a masterpiece. I love this band.

[@brettmiller1511]

this is just great,fantastic drumming,but the band all together is just a breath of fresh air. I absolutely love the use of the violin,it.gives the while sound such a melodic approach them gets really heavy. It blends so well I just love this. Keep fucking making great music!!!!!!

[@ArdaOgulUcpnar]

Holy cow!

[@VeerBhantoo]

One of the reasons I love Ne obliviscaris. Great work man! \m/

[@alexirdis8178]

Oh, my God, this is amazing... Еhis is a really big sad story...

[@BurnTheNuance]

Beginning reminds me of Firefly haha, such a great show. Anyways, just as tight and crazy as always. Your foot control makes me wanna break my Speed Cobras outta envy.

[@BleedingSunn]

A can't find any word to describe this! Awesome, man.

[@ryanaraujo3225]

O famoso baterista da correria ...... Muito sucesso pra sua vida irmão

[@jazzuka]

See you in Metaldays, Slovenia!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@philclarke3660]

Bitchin' Koloss tee. I gotta get one for myself.

[@funkdaddy5641]

Big Fan from India Dan. I absolutely love Ne Obliviscaris and your drummimg. Thank You for your music. Visit us whenever possible \m/

[@rajathramesh1439]

They have been to bangalore :D

[@jorgesoto6806]

Dammmmmm......pedals......😳 ‼️‼️‼️master.......

[@danlc95]

Excellent playing! You've helped me decide on what ride cymbals to go with too. I have been using Paiste Dry Dark Rides, which are similar to the K. Custom to your left. I personally want them to have more presence, so I'll probably be going with a couple of RUDE Power Rides. The last session I did with the Dry Dark was ok, but I just need a little more. I'm some of your studio recordings, I was left wishing I could hear more of that double ride work. Love your parts, and approach!

[@reverberation_9]

Could you play Devour Me, Colossus I? We'd love to see it!

[@DanPresland]

I am doing Citadel play throughs in the next couple months, stay tuned!

[@CatsCoffeeGuitars]

So glad I've found your channel! :D Even though I'm a guitarist, this serves like a huge motivation! The amount of musicality you're able to produce is immensely inspirational!

[@davidm5415]

I feel like this is the exact kit used for the drum machine in Lugal Ki En. It would be freaking fantastic if Dan would do a cover of one of the songs off of Lugal.

[@AnimeshSinghdjentmofos]

You instantly know that the person wearing a MESHUGGAH t-shirt is awesome.

[@Sodigerati]

Once again, amazing fucking video Dan... Now I'm just too hype for the Citadel playthroughs!!!

[@ATXmw1]

GOD you're good. Citadel playthroughs? Triptych II and Blackholes are some of the best progmetal songs I've ever heard, insanely good.

[@max8m1]

+Lounging Monk Don't forget Pyrrhic

[@Bryan-T]

Sweet.

[@williamolik]

This is Insane

[@KoarTCN]

Nice shirt

[@camwjohn95]

Christ, brother, Meshuggah isn't worthy of wearing a t-shirt of you. That wasn't drumming; that was just supreme art.

[@Desmolas]

My calfs exploded just watching this...

[@alirezamolaei6539]

I love the chopper sound that you make buddy.

[@SJB666]

Top Notch!

[@NerdConfederation]

Unfortunate that it's cut, but still mad respect at his precision

[@kev02468]

Amazing playthrough! Btw just letting you know that you've put the wrong song title in the description ;)

[@liamlimes8292]

Anyone have the sheet music for this? Would make learning a lot easier

[@kaakatin]

Fuck yeah Meshuggah!

[@CapellaOnDrums]

[@Kane34572]

I want NeO in 8D audio

[@draganov]

A question to the musically educated: Is what Dan's doing on the snare drum, what they call 'ghost' notes? (the light, almost unheard hits between the main snare hits, that is). Thanks! :)

[@zafoulis]

+draganov i suppose you are talking about the beginning beat, if so, yes

[@draganov]

zafoulis Yes, that is what I was asking for, thank you so much for answering :) Now I finally know what they mean by the term 'ghost notes', and it has bugged me for a long time :)

[@zafoulis]

+draganov Just for the sake of being precise ( i'm a drummer myself :P), you were asking about the extra hits on snare, besides the backbeat, at 2:28

[@draganov]

zafoulis Yep, exactly these hits :) You can see his stick moving, but the sound of the snare is almost not audible :) I am fascinated by drummers, I know nothing about music or drumming (well, I learned a few words :P), but I like watching them in their craft. Especially when they play super-complex stuff and make it look super fluid and easy. Funny, when I was a teen, I liked guitarists more. Ah well, priorities shift I guess :)

[@zafoulis]

+draganov each instrument or musician has its own magic and level of difficulty of course and it's nice that even you don't know anything about playing an instrument you still appreciate the skill it needs

[@ValleStutz]

Meshuggah \O/

[@leta4668]

This is a very late comment but its still cool that you actually also make mistakes 4:20 even though your insane.

[@Kane34572]

What BPM are you blasting at in this?

[@YoruRL]

210 then 250 iirc

[@PhantomkLTz]

dude!! u play wesome and, can u send me this clear mp3 song?? sounds beautiful!!

[@MeanMike7]

Fucking killer

[@damianojeda938]

Yeah how do you do that for so long? Also you always make facial expressions like you're struggling but you still go on effortlessly.. what's actually happening? lol

[@DanPresland]

haha, I really have no control over my expression - generally when playing I go into a zone where all I am thinking about is the pulse, really have no awareness of my body

[@galadherethylfia9831]

For me, it's the proof of a drummer being totally into his music !

[@OfficialArthusamakh]

Works 3x better with that killer Meshuggah shirt.

[@wevs3791]

nice fc

[@guillermoeduardoperaltavil7729]

¡No tenías tatuajes!

[@Tg11]

OSU FEET PLAYER LOL

[@LMTR14]

I liked you live a lot, and I like this album... but man... all of your songs sound the exact same, especially with that violin. and oh wonder, you are wearing a shirt of THE band with 100% same-sounding songs. fix that or you'll never get big. and that would be a shame with your skills. there are so many examples of bands who couldn't evolve. #1 would be to trade that violin for a keyboard. take between the buried and me as an example. they make every new album be something different, yet grand

[@KainLustt]

LMTR14 It's your opinion and I think is a really polite one. But I'd trade any keyboard for a violin. Really.

[@98danielray]

I wouldnt say they sound the same at all. the closest to that I can think of is sounding similar in an album

[@acidrain812]

All Slayer shit sounds the same and yet they’re one of the biggest metal bands, what’s your point? Let them make the music they wanna make

[@Kane34572]

LMTR14 shut yo ass up this music is too big for your small brain

[@brook1750]
