haha, holy crap i sucked back then. thanks for checking out the band, had a few people dm me your link. cheers mate!

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Woah Dan!!! Glad you watched. You have plenty of fans my man! Let me know if you have a different link ya want me to check out!? And you're an Aussie!? Go well brother :)

[@DanPresland]

@@AndrewRooneyDrums yeah aussie! :D umm, well I'm not sure what you're into. some of the stuff is kinda brutal/heavy some is different. this tune is 'similar' to the one you checked out, but wrote 10 years after. kzbin.info/www/bejne/r56niqGdfd6Nqas

[@SeraphimxSins]

Dude, your stamina is insane.

[@DanielFerreira-fv3qn]

FINNALY SOME DAN PRESLAND PERFORMANCE PLEASE, RESCT TO MORE DAN VÍDEOS "Devour me, colossus" is amazing

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Thanks Daniel! 💯🤜

[@pomkrelli5453]

I hope you check out playthrough for "And Plague Flowers the Kaleidoscope" in near future.

[@drphibes1978]

I second that!

[@Keragom]

Make that three!

[@Ihvann]

Totally agree. "As Plague Flowers the Kaleidoscope" is more complex and Dan's performance is amazing!

[@rossamccann72]

im only watching this because its not plague flowers, everyone reacts to it and i kinda prefer forget not at parts( clean vocals are better) still my favourite song by them is painters of the tempest because its just a fucking masterpiece

[@AJ007X-g7g]

​@@Keragom 4th me

[@andrewreday3519]

Andrew Ne Obliviscaris are actually from across the ditch in Melbourne Australia, like me. Hope you can check more of Dan out in the future especially his drum playthrough of "And Plague Flowers The Kaleidoscope". They are an extremelly talented band.

[@Jaymzmiller]

Lots have people have mentioned that this is an older video, but it's an even older song. The song Forget Not was one of the earliest songs the band wrote, pre-dating their first album by quite a few years. It's about the loss of friends - it's where their band name comes from too as Ne Obliviscaris (pronounce 'Nay Ob-liv-ee-scar-iss") is latin for 'Forget not' or 'Don't forget'. It's deliberately quite repetetive on the instrumentation because it's meant to be quite contemplative, only really changing up section to section, rather than within each passage. As others have said, definitely check out some of the stuff from their 2nd album onwards, where Dan's really let loose and has much greater confidence with filling out each section. The band is awesome, particularly live!

[@NosceTeIpsum]

YES, my favourite band, and my favourite drummer

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Sounds good! 🥁💯👌

[@DrTasty18]

@@AndrewRooneyDrums Eyrie is something else. I always remember that they said it was one of the most challenging songs they've made, and to me it just freakin shows.

[@SirianXM]

this is one of their most beautiful songs, so glad you did this video!

[@brianowen7707]

This drummer right here shows you a talent and a skill with out having to get all crazy on the drums. Kuddos to this guy and his style of drumming there's not many out there like rgis guy

[@marcuscramus1155]

Thats not the best song to Showcase How brilliant he is. Ne obliviscaris is such a complex Band and New material (Urn, even citatel) have more Variety. I think you should give him another chance to blow your mind. Try Intra vênus or Libera songs.

[@michaelnissen4322]

The Dan of today would wipe the floor whith this old version

[@nathanmcintyre694]

Yeah those are fantastic, I picked this one because of its unique dynamics and time changes. But I agree!

[@andrewhart9310]

So exactly right. One of my favorite NeO songs, but one of his least impressive play-throughs (even though he's amazing here, as well!).

[@ZuccAF]

Cant forget about devour me (colossus)

[@chiefplankton8307]

In terms of technicalities, their "second" album Citadel is just wew. Each member has got it tight. (Doe every stuff by them is good music writing)

[@brentanton7466]

And plague flowers the kaleidescope.... Please watch that. You will love it. One of his best works. Very heavy too. A lot of double kick work. Give him another chance.

[@julianwilson8357]

Keep the vids coming mate! And by that I mean JOHN LONGSTRETH

[@DallasGunther]

Yep

[@aerh13]

Yess, still hoping for: Meinl Cymbals - John Longstreth - "All Things Dead"

[@Compendyum]

But are robots allowed on this channel?

[@andrecastro8387]

Kevin paradis is someone he has to check too

[@rolomoreira7]

You should do The Faceless - Planetary Duality - Drum Cam... The drummer was Lyle Cooper at the time

[@MrPaull1989]

The drummer was asleep at the time*

[@rolomoreira7]

@@MrPaull1989 haha yeah he looked like that

[@BludgeonRiffola87]

You had noticed in a Thomas Lang video the precision of his snare hits by the wear spot on the drum head. This drummer is pretty consistent with his hits as well.

[@xavierbonilla1164]

Between the buried and me “extremophile elite” 😎💪🏽

[@rouvendorn2861]

[@ExhumedToConsume]

Such a beautiful song

[@rishimehra5231]

Omg finally!!! This guy is an octopus, it's like each of his limbs has a mind of his own. Solid dude. P.s check out his eyrie play through. Absolutely beautiful.

[@alaskan_bergwanderer]

This is the most laid back Dan Presland song you could have checked out. Still great playing, regardless. Great drummer!!

[@guitar_noodle]

Yes, more NeO! This is more of a warm up for Dan.

[@46lespaul]

I've got to meet Dan at a concert where where They were the headlineing act and they all stayed to meet And greet Every fan It was a real trip to get to listen to it live

[@OG.PoshCat]

I see Andrew Rooney, I click. I see Andrew reacting to DAN PRESLAND? Liked, subbed, shared, downloaded, archived, stored on floppy disks for future viewing. Brilliant video as usual mate

[@nathanmcintyre694]

Awesome!! It amazes me how long he is able to keep that continuous double kick going for. Mind blowing.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Yes Nathan! Thanks man 🥁🤜

[@Divedown_25]

Dan Presland is simply amazing.... very tasteful reaction

[@phildupuis1084]

Appreciate the explanation of the high-hat trick. I wasn't sure what was going on there. Impressive foot work too.

[@DeltaSleepCumtownFan]

Dan presland is amazing, he write the most beautiful songs structures that just evolve. Nothing but masterpieces

[@drakausdromgatti58]

I love the way this dude sets up his kit

[@TheOrdoch]

love this band

[@jez9951]

Ne Obliviscaris - And Plague Flowers the Kaleidoscope live in Colorado 2016

[@eviltoe7432]

Woohoo, Dan Presland! :D

Wasn't expecting this!!! H00t yeah!!!!

[@susannebass5503]

Really enjoyed this one💯 very talented!!!

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Yes Susanne! 🥁💯👍

[@robgas7507]

Great drummer and the beginning reminded me of Yes Roundabout. Dan is very polished and has all the mad skills. Thanks again

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

No problem Rob!

[@iphail4733]

Gotta get a "that's what she said" ticker going.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

GREAT idea!

[@juliagoatly5857]

I love of petrichor weaves black noise. Seriously underrated track and there is also a drum play through by him on this.

[@lungfulldrummer8921]

Dan's such a great player. And pretty prolific when it comes to play through vids on KZbin. Dan also recently opened his own studio over in Australia. And seems to be going all out when it comes to drums, room and recording gear. Hope you check out some more stuff down the line. Blake Richardson please :)

[@Lupine.]

Dan "Mr. Clean" Presland. He probably hates me for trying to pin that to him, but he's so balanced!

[@jamieplatt1243]

Nice, Dan is so incredible !!

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Yes Jamie! 💯👍

[@andrewhart9310]

While this is one of my favorite NeO songs, it's one of the least impressive play-throughs by Dan. It showcases some of his creativity, and certainly his precision, but not nearly as much as some of his more intricate songs. I HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend going through his play-throughs of Urn (he's done a ton of play-throughs, which is fantastic). There are others, but I would absolutely start with Urn.

[@Metal_Dinosaur]

Yaaas glad you found this one. Hoping to hear some Kiwi vs Ozzie banter. I've had the pleasure of listening to you guys go at it a few times, hilarious. I'll vouch for Plague Flowers...as well, you'll love it \m/

[@spruehunter5190]

Awesome channel! As a drummer with 20 years experience i still get excited about playing drums and watching and learning from other drummers! You should check out Aquiles Priester..an amazing drummer from Brazil! Who has been in bands such as Angra, Hangar, and Dragon force. A drummer never leaves his sticks!

[@brianyates3504]

IM A HUGE FAN OF MARIO DUPLANTIER DUE TO HIS GREAT RIDE WORK AND USE OF CYMBALS OVER ALL IN HIS FILLS..A LOT IF DRUMMERS NEGLECT THEIR CYMBALS FOR FILL WORK...PEACE

[@tallev4333]

Have you ever listened to the entire discography of NeO strait through and just cried? no? I do that everyday

[@The_KlaVra]

I think I read somewhere that Ne Obliviscaris is the Gypsy equivalent of Dream Theater.. And that made me laugh..

[@Insanalyst]

Finally!

[@brianyates3504]

HOWDY FROM NEW ENGLAND...NICE RIDE WORK AT THE START AND THE KICK SOUNDS GOOD AND PUNCHY..THX FOR TURNING ME INTO NEW DRUMMERS...I TEND TO FIND THE ONES I DIG AND STAY WITH THEM....IF YOU GET ENOUGH INTEREST PLEASE DO A VID ON SEAN KINNEY FROM ALICE IN CHAINS...HIS PLAYING IS UNIQUE AND HE HAD A GOOD SWINGING FEEL TO HIS PLAYING..PEACE

[@neilmac3731]

I notice "All" of his fills are identical....roll on snare then follow through on the 3 rack toms every song every time

[@dovlassaturnus7805]

Does anyone else get some ASMR feelings when listening him play drums?

[@wongsakornwattanavekin7328]

I got anxiety lol and feel like “when it’s gonna end” this feels like constant marathons and fast push up in single pace

[@jtundi]

My feet and are calves are burning just watching this

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

HAHA Me too!

[@nmac3718]

I've seen only buddy rich and the atomic clock big gene Hoglan utilize that hand choke or a variant of it and yes Andrew Dan's ergonomics and his economy of motion are like watching a special forces veteran showcasing his talents its ridiculous at times hes younger I think early 20s

[@ericdravenX00X]

As i scrolled down in the comments here.. I noticed Mr.Presland said he sucked back then... Yeah, i would disagree with that... I see he has Meshuggah shirt on, i can see the influences of Tomas Hakke.. How he Chops around the kit and his form and how he sits on his throne.. Nice video.

[@darrenbooker8144]

I am really happy you started with that, great band/drummer if you know them..... you will get your little Kiwi arse blown apart when a proper dan playthrough comes ( 😉😉 proud Aussie ) that video was super old and not how it really is....just do ' and plague flowers the kaleidoscope'..... I love your videos mate👍👍 Daz from across the ditch🍻

[@intingwithzoe5715]

I think it would be really interesting to see you work on double pedal and figure out how to gain speed. i think it would make for a great video series

[@DarkRedman31]

It's hard to click the thumbs up when you see the 666 count on a metal music! xD

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

BAHAHAHA Someone will do it. GO AHEAD

[@mstrasser]

About time! One of my favourite NeO tracks, but not Dan's most impressive. Still, awesome nonetheless. Thanks!

[@blackcrown260]

This play through is a little older. 2014. Their newest album is way better. I’d highly suggest Eyrie or Intra Venus for a better showcase of what kind of drummer Dan is. Dude’s a beast

[@leonlemgruber2119]

Andrew, have you ever listened to a guy called Mark Pacpaco? Guitar center 28th video is a short and really good example. This guy is amazing.

[@SauceBoss69]

Swing Metal, baby!

[@vbdude006]

Please please check out Devour Me Colossus by NeO. Dan's drumming in that is insane.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Thanks for the tip

[@vladvalcheff6683]

Usually black metal drummers are such an emotionless when they are playing. I knew it will be a black metal genre since I saw his drum kit.

[@obliviscaris1195]

Actually ahah, its Technical Death Metal.

[@HLeeve]

I really apreciate his technique and everything. Means a lot of practice, and he surely spends hours and hours in the rehearsal room, but: Take him his mic´s away, and all of his triggered samples. And then his drumming is gonna sound like patting my cat´s fur!

[@andrewturnbull9218]

You should watch" of plague and flowers " much better showcase of his talents

[@ClandestineMerkaba]

And to think... this isn't even anywhere CLOSE to their best song. Definitely check out his Plague Flowers playthrough.

[@Pa666Ne]

React to John. "Meinl Cymbals - John Longstreth - "All Things Dead" ", has good quality.

Ne obliviscaris is latin for "Forget Not". So Band and SOng Title mean the same :-)

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

it's on the way Fabian. A patron has requested it :)

[@RainaTwentyTwelve]

Ooof. First

[@VanDerLaars]

IMO he's one of the most creative drummers. Interestingly he was more creative when he was younger. I mean, when you are young you want to speed up with the double bass and fill it all up with blast beats but no, he had much better ideas.

[@Spectral_eater]

Check out the official drum playthrough for 'Unbreakable' by DESPISED ICON. The guy is stupid quick.

[@lolh4x]

I have no idea how you haven't heard of this guy, he's from Straya. Also I have no idea how THIS is the video you chose, it's super old. He's got so many more videos, with better drumming and better production.

What's with patreon?do you do requests from KZbin comments?

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Good question. I'm focused on the Patreon picks at the moment as they are the ones who support the channel with donations. My hope is to get the patreon requests under control and then can start doing random selections from comments. But there are far too many to do... hence the patreon system as a way to prioritize things.

[@dtrmind]

I think it would’ve been better if you would’ve watched them live because Dan is a machine that guy doesn’t miss a note pretty incredible

[@brucecampbellforpresident1393]

Ok about half through the double kicks start sounding like a card stuck in a bicycle tire spoke.

01:03 - what is Renata Sorrah doing here?

[@mreyeballz]

pretty long double-kick run. wow

[@davidkoblentz]

Ne Obliviscaris is strange band... some of friends refer to them as new Opeth, I disagree, but the drumming is great, all the musicianship is great

[@sanchezzz1]

Bass triggers?

[@luislemus2578]

Dan can do what alot aspire to do but, to me it seems like every song he plays it's just endurance training. He has the speed, endurance, and cleanliness but his fills seem bland. Used to follow him on ig and all it was constant double with linear 8th note fills. He's an amazing metronome.

[@wongsakornwattanavekin7328]

Bland is exactly the word I’m finding to describe this drummer lol. Fast, Consistent, but lacks creativity

[@jen.g.]

It’s just prog (because that means anything these days). Dan is phenomenal, as is Ne Obliviscaris.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Well said Jen!

[@jen.g.]

@@AndrewRooneyDrums I found this video thanks to your Leprous video. Then just watched your Dillinger Escape Plan video. Love them all. Maybe check out Vlad of Jinjer playing “Under the Dome”?

[@wongsakornwattanavekin7328]

This doesn’t really feel like a prog song to me. I would say prog is more like Haken, Dream Theater, Porcupine Tree, Rush, Symphony X, Neal Morse Band, Transatlantic, Liquid Tension Experiment, Opeth, Pink Floyd, or even some songs of The Beatles

[@QazwerDave]

Not heard of your fellow Australians ?!?!

[@JoseCespedes67jana]

It is true about patterns... if he kept the same notes all the time the song would be uninteresting.... fills , ghost notes, etc.

[@JoseCespedes67jana]

Just saw a video of him covering "War Pigs " Black Sabbath.... if you'd like to check it out!!! Mr. Rooney

[@victormuriel7266]

Funny he's not having a premium youtube account

[@form_52]

No. This was a HORRIBLE introduction to how amazing he is. Watch his video for Intra Venus. He is SO much more incredible than this song. If you want to see how good he Really is watch Intra Venus

[@davidbonar5190]

a bit like YES meets black metal :) or something. CVLT to the edge

[@Oneofthemillionsofsouls]

Intra Venus.. or painters

[@jacklarsen4]

I think it would sound better if his hi hats weren’t as open. Just personal preference.

[@monstersaroundus]

Nice work as always Andrew. Would love to see peoples reactions to the extreme metal master: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nJ2niKuNgrmWkNk If you do check out after the playthrough ends, he goes through his cymbals and has a pair of incredible custom bells the size of rides.

[@steevyboy1]

OOH... there's a bit of 30 Seconds to Mars in there from The Kill.

[@TheOlvan]

The only thing this song could use...is more bass drum.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Can always have more bass drum Benny!

[@Drumsholic]

Hot in New Zealand?? Now?? January?? WtF? Go to swimming?? I'm gettin on the plane and come there !! Maybe some volcano became to explode soon and that cause the hot ??That band maybe believes Opeth now it became to give up playing and want to replace them to fullfill the emptyness without a band like Opeth...Is a myth or a fact?? But i think they have too many influences from Opeth maybe the early years of Still Life and Deliverance with one smell of now extreme Death Speed Metal. Is one nice band in music for sure i don't analyse the Lyrics so i can't say something!

[@henri1298]

I can't imagine listening to this music outside of watching drum playthroughs lmao.

[@liliIiliIilil]

I've seen them live 3 times. Not for everyone, I suppose.

[@wongsakornwattanavekin7328]

Very powerful and consistent drumming, but I feel like it kinda lacks creativity. Not much Dynamics and the light cymbals session didn’t really has great choice when to hit. Anyway, double kick speed and blast beat consistency is beyond human and the hand closing hihat part is very manly lol

[@otravoyadnoe]

Alas this is is literally the most boring and unimpressive video of Dan performing. He is such a beast and this video doesn't give him enough credit.
