Dimmu Borgir - Blessings Upon The Throne Of Tyranny - Drum Cover

Contact me at [e-mail] if you want me to record drums for you or if you're interested in session work.
When I first listened to this song about 8 years ago, I didn´t think
I´d ever be able to play it. Now, here I am, lel.
Sorry for the inaudible 8" Tom, I´m working on figuring out this mixing thing.

[@euledj79]

Best cover version on youtube. What a blast! (but not just the blast😊)

[@Joko515]

thanks man!

[@florianwroblewski6354]

Solid and tight blast beat, same for double bass and fills. One of the most accurate cover I ever seen on KZbin since its creation. It's a shame Daray took your place in the band 😉

[@morosedrummer13]

Solid af!

[@aggelossamaras7849]

[@Buried_Dreams]

[@number9large977]

[@Joko515]

Number 9 Large just stop eating like big smoke and you will bro :)

[@batako0o]

You nailed it!. Are you using Dm5 ? kick trigger sounds familiar :P

[@Joko515]

thanks man. indeed, the good old speed metal sample.

[@WilderFaloticoMusic]

Tight as fuuuuuuu-, Joko. I am envious of your stamina. I wonder if I could work with you and mix your drum tracks for a future video? I've been wanting to offer for a while now.

[@Joko515]

Wilder Falotico youre welcome, friend! thing is, at the moment I'm only recording 3 tracks. The whole set and then snare and trigger separately. Not sure if there is too much to mix there ^^. I can't do a complete multitrack recording alone unfortunately.

[@WilderFaloticoMusic]

Joko515 Understood! I had noticed those tom microphones. Is it an interface limitation?

[@Joko515]

Wilder Falotico yes, i dont have a good interface of my own, so I record the sum of all channels, +snare and bassdrum. In order to record all 12 channels I need help from my friend who owns all the recording gear.

[@WilderFaloticoMusic]

Joko515 Fair enough, friend. I have the same dilemma, mostly from a lack of microphones. Carry on with the awesome playing, though! If the opportunity ever arises, I would love to mix one of your performances, as I need more practice with live drum tracks. I would also send it back to you, for your videos, of course.

[@Joko515]

Wilder Falotico sure thing, thanks. I think it sounds just fine the way it is. You can hear everything, thats the most important factor.

[@ubique6859]

A really awesome job man!! I still cant play this lol. What did you find helped you to build up to this speed for double kick and blasting?

[@Joko515]

efficient practice. look up some of derek roddy's exercises on getting your left foot up to speed

[@ubique6859]

Joko515 ok cheers mate.

[@Silver0Gate]

Schön der Snare einschenken, Bruder.

[@olivierouimet5686]

yes, very lel

[@tim_from_braid]

Can you do Nick Barkers signature roll of Snare Snare Tom Tom (RLRL) at that high BPM- around 230 i think? Like he does a lot in Kings of carnival creation during blast beats. I still cant believe how that is humanly possible.

[@Joko515]

Marko Zekanović kings or indoctrination is coming up, i just need to record it. all of what he plays is actually possible, yes. It's just really not easy. :D

[@tim_from_braid]

Oh right i forgot to add another roll of Snares and toms. So its S S T T S S T T, but i guess you know what roll i was talking about. Btw this video is jawdropping, especially the freestyle roll at 1:48, been playing the video repedeatly whole day. If its not too much to ask, how did you develop such fast and controlled left hand, ive been having huge problems with it

[@Joko515]

yeah i know which fill you mean, that one is really hard. left hand is a bitch. I play with my wrists mostly and dont use my fingers much. A combination of both is the best you can do. You should try to play at lower tempos for as long as possible, then rest your arms for a minute or so, then continue. there is some good warmup exercises that are basically just for working out your muscles but apply to drumming aswell. Flo mounier from cryptopsy has some good videos on that. other than that, literally just practice. Watch your hands while youre playing and try to mimic the motion of your right hand with your left hand. Also, try leading with your left to make it more independent. etc etc etc, tons of good stuff on youtube
