Dan Presland (Ne Obliviscaris) Libera, Pt I Saturnine Spheres live drum cam

[@richardmetalfan94]

One of the best metal drummers going right now.

[@johnray6906]

Talented for sure, with good technique and taste. One of the best? No.

[@DanPresland]

RichardMetalFan i’m honoured you’d think that 🙏

Ne Oliviscaris wouldn't have such a good substance and vibe to it if it weren't for your drumming skills! Keep it up Dan!

[@DanPresland]

billy thanks. it’s a fun band to play in

[@Grievance87]

That goes for pretty much every member of the band, not just the drummer... awesome musicians. But yeah, it´s the drummer´s channel so let´s get some cck

[@reptarien]

@@Grievance87 Bro, do not get me wrong, i love every member of this band so much x) in the moment I was just enthralled with how technically skilled Dan is as a drummer.

[@Grievance87]

You are seriously the best drummer I've seen since Gene Hoglan.

[@DanPresland]

Kevin_Grind well that’s not something you hear every day. that’s very kind of you

[@franlovelsimic8421]

His independence, precision, seemingly effortless style is really commendable, one of the many excellent drummers, superb job!

[@BharatIndoria]

Undisputed king of the metal drummers. You are the best.

[@Stuugie.]

I know you've recently moved on from Ne Obliviscaris but you absolutely were such an integral part of their sound. Your style really contrasts the rest of the band so well.

[@DanPresland]

thanks man, thats very kind of you to say

[@astel_xviii]

that stamina is absolutely mindblowing, even after about 9 years of metal drumming this song is still something i struggle with. amazing job, keep it up! you have a long way to go!

[@branko666]

This song is so literally unique and epic, I would cry loads if I saw Ne Obliviscaris play this live

[@sorrow3362]

I 1000% agree, it like rises power out of you !

[@branko666]

@@sorrow3362 this is my favorite NeO song, I would say, just imagine how magical would it feel when you listen to this part live: 6:46

That double bass drum! Superb! :)

If someday the machines take over, they will ask Dan how they can improve themselves ;-) What a precision, what an endurance and what a joy to watch!!!!

[@zarwarrior]

The dynamic changes man!!! From fast to slow, from piano to forte jeesss!!! Not an easy task to do and control!!!

[@TheKaartmann]

Dan's cyberpunk tattoo is siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick (and so are his drum skills) !

[@krombopoulosmichael]

After watching this and other vids from sickdrummermag the one thing I am left with is the notion of how CREATIVE a drummer Dan is. Stamina and power, yes; but the creativity is undeniable. So fun to watch. I hope the Patreon crowd funding is continuing to be successful for the band! Aussie Aussie Aussie Oi Oi Oi!

[@cmr2003]

Best band on Earth!

[@srslywtfcl4p404]

I love every time one i find a new video of you playing. It's just awesome to watch.

[@BettaV]

soo sick. This track is my favourite so far away. What makes it something special for me is your brutal and extremely-accuratetempo-beautiful drumming style, ive never seen anything like that before ive heard libera, also Tim's violin is an masterpiece. Thank you for being this awesome drummer as you are, you are making not only my, but others day happier and you are motivating people with your drumm, im pretty sure. Thanks!!

[@thereverand15]

Please come to Canada so I can witness this madness in person. Your playing is some of my favourite I've seen in the past 10 years or so watching thousands of drum videos and live shows. Its as close to perfect song writing as I can imagine. What an album. \m/

[@InstrumentalArcanum]

Awesome playing ! That alternating gravity blast is amazing . I dont see too much drummers do that except Archspire. It's great to see this. I love the dynamics and control of the drummer , rolls fills etc . It's not just blasting to prove how fast someone can play, its thought out and precise . 🤘👍✌

[@aaliaank4478]

Such finesse, my favourite drummer for sure! Absolutely breathtaking !

[@pcbw75]

Dan, you’re amazing bro! Can watch you all day and your foot work is AWESOME! 🤙🏼

[@DanPresland]

Pete thank you!

[@mattbaker7305]

Anyone else think a collaboration between Mgla and Ne Obliviscaris would be amazing? Two unique sounds, two very talented bands.

[@rapturexiii844]

I hope you guys can come to DC or Baltimore soon

[@Millenia3D]

Intense performance, I just love how you've punctuated the main riff in this song. Hits you like a ton of bricks

[@scallionboy8679]

Just wow, watched a few of your latest videos in a row then this last. That's some playing, i love the choice and style. Hard to choose good words for this. Mind blown, there's hope for the new age of aspiring drummers to see this and just aim high. Ps folks music is art not competition. Just cause some guys have their best lists. Just enjoy what others create. New sub from me and greetings from northern Ireland

[@fredy53553]

absolutely impressive!!

[@adriangurung5917]

Saw NeO live. Think they played about an hour long set. To have the stamina to keep up the double kicks going is no joke.

[@josch_drummer5129]

Lol we play the same beaters! btw incredible performance

[@Ammiel1234]

Between @1:36 and around 1:46-48 is it sounds like not only is he blasting the left hand but each time he accents the high hat during this time it sounds like he does either a quick gravity roll or just a stick bounce but it really adds flavor to the blast with a tiny roll. Am I the only one hearing this? I'll try to clarify if you count 6 during that time it seems to happen around the 6 or 7th count I have no formal training so I'm not sure how to count it.

[@SatriaSeptaWijaya]

Song gold!

Hi Dan, nice drumming, one of my top 5 for sure. I Have a random question and applies the same for Inferno of Behemoth, doesnt bothers you sitting on a drumstick? Anyways, cheers for your career, hope to see you anytime soon in Chile, Southamerica.

[@DanPresland]

Diego Casas-Cordero no if it bothered me it wouldn’t be under my ass 😂

[@Kane34572]

What BPM is most of the insane double bass?

[@Simon-fj2wn]

I have been wondering about this for some time, why are you sitting on drumsticks? Does it give you more stability or anything like that? Looks rather uncomfortable

[@DanPresland]

Simon K it’s fine. it’s the easiest way i can get a stick if i drop them

[@BlotHrafn]

I have watched a ton of his videos. Not until I red this comment I noticed the drumsticks. You have changed my whole view of his videos haha. I've been paying too much attention to his work.

are you using heel-toe technique for double bass drumming??

hey Dan, are both of your Footblaster triggers connected? Looks like the right isn't.

A world-class drummer and only 2K views. Must be depressing and eye-opening to see very little recognition after inhuman effort and dedication. Only shows how pointless life is.

[@WhiteSlash_Guitars]

Maybe recognition isn't a goal one should pursue ? Living the kind of experiences he probably lived, sharing stuff with passionate people, brightening people lives with what you create, touring worldwide, train to master a skill you enjoy, and overall be happy to live all that sounds better than seeking recognition :D (because life probably is pointless anyway, why not try to enjoy it :) ) (there you go with my bs philosophy haha)

[@dominicsauve9915]

I guess it's how he enables the cheats...

[@sharinglungs3226]

Only a minute and a half in and it feels like this guy is drumming to some other song. It feels like he just plays whatever he wants regardless of what the other musicians are playing.

[@diondemandaroon7192]

I don't know what you're talking about. He plays exactly like he did on the album.

[@linkiny]

Sounds to me that prog metal isn't going to be your thing if your ear can't pick up how his drumming is on point with the song.
