Death + Sean Reinert Drum Cam - Flattening of Emotions 10.26.91

[@jagzin6147]

Technically he was completely unmatched at the time, he had it all, groove, speed, power, technique and fucking taste.

[@dgomez6778]

the dude was all feel, no trigger double bass and it sounding perfect is incredible

[@babalonworking6]

TRUUUUUUUUUUUUUTH!

[@Virvum_Juggernaut]

His technique is to die for.

[@IIIIIIII]

totally agreed.

[@leandrolapa8461]

I'm still astonished by the level of drumming in this song and album, 32 years later

[@bartoszdolewski4915]

Could you belive that ? He is born '71 so he was 20 years old at that time. Dude, fuckin 20 years old and that sick flawless metronomical drumming.

[@WeKnowTheTruth2012]

Yeah also usually people think just because someone is young they suck Look at this god they made the first tech death metal album

[@bartoszdolewski4915]

True. Still, Vitek from Decapitated was 15 when they recorded their first album.

​@@bartoszdolewski4915haha yeah man!!!!

[@Mattiasgbg]

Seriously, this is so f****ng amazing. In -91 he sounded like this, waaaay ahead of most other drummers in this genre at that time.

[@lordmagnussen1573]

+Mattias Jonasson And he was about 20 years old in the human Tour! a Beast!

[@Mattiasgbg]

+Kristensen Magnussen Even more incredible then. The others just didn't sound anything like this. Amazing...

[@markjohns2659]

Kristensen Magnussen Super crazy to believe that he was the same age as me during the Human Tour! What a monster touring around Europe and the US at that age!

[@DANTVSVERGIL]

I suggest you give the Decapitated album 'Winds of Creation' a listen ( if you haven't heard them yet. ) Their Drummer was 14 when they made that album. The other band members were all one year older than each other.

[@simaodocaminhao]

True, Vitek (R.I.P.) is a legend, best drummer to ever walk this earth, period.

[@RottenPinky]

RIP Sean Reinert. You may not be in this world any longer, but your legacy will live on forever through your amazing work.

[@Tirincho01]

To think that Sean was only 20 years old at the time of this video, fucking amazing!!!

[@hernangonzales9602]

Sean Reinert ladies and gentleman a machine with soul, he wasnt listening to metal when he recorded this, he was into Chick Corea and more jazz stuff, one of my 3 top hi tech metal drummers

[@simaodocaminhao]

Yet, years prior to recording Human with Death, he already played death metal with Cynic.

[@VioletAOP416]

NightRider how long was Cynic around before focus was released? Because I know human precedes focus by a few years.

[@purevycara]

@@VioletAOP416 Cynic was formed in '87, and had demos from 88-91 before releasing Focus in 1993.

[@russellst.martin4255]

Believe he thanked Vinnie Colaiuta in the Human liner notes

[@karmakultivator]

2:52 that fill on double bass iside the double bass beat is so epic!

[@newfleshrecords]

I replayed it like five times.

[@shutdownimminent]

I remember back in the early 90's when I first heard that acceleration in the solo part, I was fucking stunned! Had to listen to it over and over again to actually realize that someone could do that on bass drums. He was way ahead of his time in metal drumming and is definitely one of the forefathers to extreme metal drumming of today.

[@babalonworking6]

OOOOOOOOOH YAAAAAAAAAAA!!!

[@Olysterz]

You know what? I must have listened to this song a zillion times and I just noticed this acceleration on the bass drums. I went and listened to the album version to see if it's really there and there it is!

[@pedromauro3790]

God bless that right wrist. Is insane, specially when playing ostinatos on the ride cymbal. RIP Sean.

[@B166ER-]

This was by far Death's best drummer! Gene Hoglan and Richard Christy are good drummers respectively, but the drumming on Human was fucking INHUMAN! I remember reading an article where Gene himself had a hard time playing songs from this album because of the shear intricacy of Sean's drumming...

[@WhoisVinnie]

I agree. Although Bill Andrews was my favorite in having the coolest sounding drum set.

[@2112SNEEK]

​@@WhoisVinnie Hmm, I could agree with this.. especially in that slow part of Genetic Reconstruction you really hear how great that drum kit sounds. As much as I'd like to hear Human in the Spiritual setting, in the end I think the original production (even though the bass guitar is on the hidden variable level) has a better sound than any other Death album or remaster. . I think the 2011 remaster is a kind of sacrilege. It sounds like better (to distinguish in terms of instruments defined in the whole), but everything sounds much flatter and compressed per instrument, so +- 4 times as bad as where the original version just sounds like it was cast in one piece and is chrome plated by Sean Reinert.

[@iqbalanselmooo]

And i guess due to Gene’s playing style its hard for him to replicate what Sean had done in human.

[@Llllltryytcc]

Hoglan HEAPS praise on reinert as well

[@deviousdieselmusic]

@@2112SNEEKobviously you don’t like hearing bass guitar then, because Steve got fucked on the original mix.

[@yeatsg]

the ease at which reinert plays these parts astounds me. the fluidity that his wrists allow him is something i strive for whenever i see him play. underrated and quite possibly the greatest drummer, at least in heavy metal, of all time.

[@angelfer82]

No one will play this song like Sean did! I´ve seen Gene Hoglan, Richard Christy and other drummers playing this but no one can do it better, Sean was a fucking monster!!! RIP Master!!! Damn life!!!!!

[@AsphyxGr]

RIP master Reinert. Your will never be forgotten and will always be an inspiration.

[@πανος-μ1ζ]

RIP..... I KNOW YOU PLAINING WITH CHUCK NOW!

[@Thedrumsurgery]

The most under rated drummer of all time! I can't believe Sean was playing this technical style in 91!

[@ForeverdarkForevercold]

Rest in peace Sean... your legacy will last forever... without you, no Necrophagist or Obscura or Beyond Creation.You will be missed. Thanks for all.

[@sneakyanimation]

Sean, you brought groove and character to metal Drumming, Dude, much respect, you are an inspiration!

[@zetoze]

Death the best band ever!

[@maurohurt4397]

Sean was a machine, and the sound did got in HUMAN album is the best!

[@AsphyxGr]

Man the breaks on the refrain are extremely inspired ... I believe Reinert and Sandoval are my best drummers ever. I never get enough of them and they are super identifiable amongst the massive amount of drummers on metal. I hope we had more musicians like them today, most have super technique but they lack something you see on that video, some call it musicality

[@Deviliumrei]

Holy shit. Not only hearing but actally seeing Sean playing this is bloody awesome. I love this song.

[@zlatkokopcok7545]

Who can dislike this? That has serious problems with the brain.

[@christianeasley767]

This is before triggers and condensers !!!! Your drums sounded for how hard you hit with consistency!!!! SEAN IS KILLING IT!!!! Always SOLID!!!! ❤️🥁🙏🎶😎

[@schlooonginator]

I know Gene Hogan is an awesome drummer and deserves all the recognition he gets but I actually think Sean's drumming on Human is even better yet no one really knows of him, sad. When this came out it blew me away with the speed an& aggression I liked with Steve Asheim of Deicide but far more complex.

[@ELK1989612]

As far as I know Human is Gene's favorite Death album. So there's a lot of mutal respect between the two.

[@RyanChaos.0]

Replicate Extinction what he meant was he's one of the less popular death drummers, as people usually talk about Gene Hoglan or Richard Christy. And being a fan of death metal doesn't mean you are a fan of this band.

[@robacdc1977]

*insert name here* Funny, I found the opposite was true when I first got into Death. It seemed to me that Human was the album that everybody revered while the Gene and Richard stuff were regarded as almost secondary masterpieces. Personally I think each of the three is just as technical, fast and aggressive as each other (as evidenced when Gene played Richard's stuff on the 2012 DTA tour) but ultimately Richard is the best. His cymbal usage took the flair of Sean with Gene's Erskineisms and blended them seamlessly

[@jemapellej1]

In my opinion Reinert is far better than the two and best drummer Death ever had. Coming from the fusion scene(he's never been much of a metal fan) has made him much more colorful!

[@vitormaciel5608]

Aw man, I've never liked Richard's style... I think it's too much information going on at the same time, but he's a monster. In my opinion reinert's style was the best fit for death, and I'm a gene hoglan fanboy hahaha

[@Gutlord]

Back in the day this would've been a video to watch every single day a dozen times over. What am I talking about, it STILL is! Sean's groove even in high speed metal drumming is yet to be topped. Amazing.

[@AsphyxGr]

This is a video from which I constantly learn. Each single one of the hundred times I 've watched it

[@mikeythepikey69]

That fill at 3:43 is something else.

[@aryssonlima8784]

This double bass...

[@LHondrums]

sean reinert, gene hoglan and richard christy play absolutely fantastic on all the albums and live. death really incorporated one of the best metal drummers..

[@НиколайКоперник-ъ1п]

It's important to admit that this guy was asking first. It was his gift that allowed the whole style to take a giant step forward. He changed the rules of the game! In addition to power and speed, he brought metal-drumming musicality! He was just the first. It is always difficult to be the first. Rest in peace, Sean...

[@deathbizcuit]

Sean is so sick drummer. I think his style is pure old progressive metal. Human is best album of death's all albums. Sean + Paul + Chuck + Steve = Legendary lineup

[@gtrguy76]

I remember first putting this disk in when it first came out-didn't move for the whole CD! this was in 91! Sick for then-sick for now! And speed isn't everything-guitar, drums, whatever-speed is worthless without style and feel! 40 minutes of blastbeats isn't feel-its a fancy metronome! HUMAN still stands the test of time!

Whenever I watch Sean, Gene or Richard, I tend to say, this is the best Death drummer. So it is a tide for three of them. And somebody said blast beats, fast kick patterns? Those guys did these back in the day without all those tricky polished sound systems and high quality gear. Look or more than that, listen, to that clock-work tasty drumming. All legends... RIP Chuck...

[@rubens9890]

What they did on that album is still up to date, Sean drumming is insane. Chuck gathered awesome musicians on all records but I think this was by far the best lineup and one of their best if not the best album.

[@causticgrip]

In the pocket af! Fusion influence without over playing! His feet...holy shit!! Every ride pattern in the whole performance is perfect!! Best snare sound ever!! Sean Reinert was the greatest of all metal drummers and sadly, very underrated! That first Cynic record is face metling!!

One of the best that ever manned the drumkit. To be this accomplished at only 20 years of age. Jaw dropping. I remember when I first heard this monster. The Human album had just come out, and MTV was playing the video for Lack of Comphrension. Inhuman drumming. I loved that Chuck brought this progressive jazz drummer in to play on his songs. I wish that I could have seen the live version of this incredible band. I saw them on the Individual Thought Patterns tour, and while Gene did a great job with Seans parts, they just did not sound the same. Rest in peace, Sean.

[@morganhart6997]

I vividly remember buying this on cassette when it was released put the tape in on a walkman and pressed play as i was walking away from the sound cellar in dublin after like 5 to 10 seconds the drumming kinda made my body invisibly flip 360 degrees or should i say my ears . Will never forget that moment

[@miamiconservativecuban1021]

When I went to junior high at Shenandoah in Miami , one of my classmates on percussion was Alex Marquez . So Alex was in solstice and anger among other bands . This was in the late 80’s. They had a warehouse by hidden lake and their next door neighbors were none other than Cynic. We played a house party once , I was in a band called scythe . Cynic played before us and I was inside the house looking through the sliding glass doors . Sean was on the other side outside. When he started playing it’s like I was in basic math and Sean was doing fucking calculus on the drums . I was like really ? I gotta play after this guy? I mean his level of drumming was so that I would have trouble just wrapping my brain around what he was doing. Thankfully so the cops showed up right before cynic finished their set and the party was called off . Whew ! Alex and Sean were great friends and they both admired each other’s work. I’m just lucky to have Alex as a brother and I’m also blown away by his drumming . Different styles of course but still both excellent in their own regards. RIP Sean . On Friday there was a show and Alex attended and Sean’s sister spotted him . Told him how much Sean would talk about him and the feeling is mutual on Alex’s behalf. I am extremely lucky to have known both and as a matter of fact , Alex is in my living room , sleeping on our couch . I am blessed as we all are to have experienced both of their drumming.
