Hey Andrew! Check out Kreigsmaschine "Residual Blight". One of Darkside's finest moments. There is only one video of him playing one part of the song. However, Kevin Paradis, drummer for Benighted, did a drum cover of the song and it is incredible. I highly recommend watching Kevin's rendition of "Residual Blight" and have your mind thoroughly melted.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Yes a lot of people requesting Kevin Paradis

[@mcmlxxxviimcmxcvi8641]

Kriegsmaschine is amazing!

[@josebuzani2066]

I’ve been requesting Kevin Paradis for a while Do a live version with his band Be ignited…. So good!

[@jaredd1144]

Came here to say the same😁

I believe that drummers are born with the ability to play drums and Darkside is the messiah.

Finally, in few days i have a chance to hear Darkside live with Mgła, I'm happy:) that will be my first real festival since 2018.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

AWESOME!

[@pickle_soup160]

Darkside goes full god mode at 8:58. I don't know shit about music, but even I can see that this is a master at work. It's as if he was creating a story and telling it to us through music.

Very nice. Have seen mgla live last week. After 35 of live death and black metal, mgla was one of the most impressive. Excellent live-band! Like your appreciation, too, Andrew 👍!

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Oh wow. Great feedback

[@Kassapu]

You’re becoming a metalhead Andrew😂👍👍👍

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Don't tell anyone!

[@Kassapu]

@@AndrewRooneyDrums I know many people who didn’t like metal and they said it’s just noise and chaos…they’ve change their minds and my wife is the best example 😂.She always asks me to put her favourite songs on in the car.She loves atmospheric/depressive/ambient black metal coz I listen to this and play too.In my opinion metal is a kind of music genre you need to learn how to listen to it…if that make sense. Anyway you should check out Dimmu Borgir drummer Darek ‘Daray’ Brzozowski drum cam.You will like it,I guarantee you😎

Watching these Mgla drumming clips are my new favorite video genre.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

So good David!

[@thedonsz9186]

I saw them late last year and while I was sad that the gold glitter drum kit wasn't there, it was so mezmerizing. Their music just makes me feel an emotion I simply can not describe. The way he hits those cymbals is just simply impressive. They are one of the best Black Metal bands ever tbh. As another video I HIGHLY recommend is Kevin Paradis playing De Gloria Martyrum et Confessorum by Autokrator. He is their session drummer and the drumming on that song is incredible.

[@terrencethomas7627]

Your epilogue echoes my thoughts on extreme drumming. Well stated.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Thanks Terrence!

[@johnvandenhoeven1356]

Fantastic drummer and great review. Some other great extreme metal guys to check out are Flo Mounier from Cryptopsy, Inferno from Behemoth, Max Kolesne from Krisiun and Hellhammer from Mayhem.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Thanks John. I have done Hellhammer and Inferno!

[@johnvandenhoeven1356]

Thanks Andrew I'll check those other 2 videos out. One more great drummer is Trey Williams of Dying Fetus.

[@NiemaLumiere]

Everytime I watch drum videos with Darkside and other extreme metal drummers, as if instead of them I get tired, seeing, how much time it takes to achieve this. Nice video, Andrew!

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Yes loads of practice!

[@krata420]

I saw them live last friday on Mystic Festiwal and that was increadible! He played everything without any mistake (including this one) and on Exercises in Futility V it even felt like he added some additional cymbal hits on THAT part. There's also video from Mgła rehearsals showing him playing Age of excuse I, if you want more of him I think that would be the best next pick. Cheers!

[@kara7197]

I'm going to see them early September, can't wait!

[@goc6451]

I have a zildjian 9.5" bell and it's a very thick, heavy cymbal. It's sounds identical to the one darkside is using here so I assume it's that.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

yup sounds thick!

[@salkynsuuguitarraqua]

This guy likes cymbals so much. He can play on them only. Don't need toms, snare, kicks. More cymbals not enough.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Smashin' it!

[@modellbahn9447]

Was at this concert, was the first after the pandemic. Great, as always! Thanks for the reaction.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

EXCELLENT! Thank you

[@endacoughlan2670]

Love the videos Andrew. I remember feeling the same when I first got into more extreme metal, you gradually get acclimated to the intensity of it and start to notice the subtle changes etc. Again, can I put in a recommendation for Primordial, i think you’ll enjoy some of the videos they have explaining how their drummer comes up with their drum patterns.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Absolutely! Thank you. I do hope to get to it sooner or later

[@carmenporter7087]

I second this! Primordial are excellent and Simon is a great drummer who plays very unique patterns.

[@doiminiclynch5208]

After the death of drummer Alan White a few days ago, who played with Yes, John Lennon and George Harrison, would be great to react to him perhaps, thanks a lot

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Yes good idea Doiminic

[@wilhelmvonkatastrophenburg469]

Thid dude, Nils and Evgeny Novikov from Slaughtered is from a different planet. Thanks for doing this. Always enjoying your videos.

[@992ras]

Ok let’s see how much I can help. So he playing a strait 32nd on the bass drum each foot is playing a 16th note. With his right hand at times he playing half time which is matched to his right foot 16th. When he goes to playing both hands he playing 8th notes with each hand on the 16th of the right foot. He also maybe alternating some of the 16th of the left foot as well with his left hand which sounds like the crash parts to me. So if I was looking to learn this song I would start by learning the tempo of the 16th then half time and double time that to get my tempo for the 8th and 32nd notesA lot of black metal is any where from 160 to 240 bpms can be faster but it’s not always necessary 32nd super fast loses its feel. A lot times those 32nd sound faster then they are what is mostly played really fast are the 16th notes so a 240 16th note one footed is not always fun to play long periods. So what I have learned if you base everything off of 16th notes and lead with you bass drum and snare your riding hand can do what ever you want like Quarter notes if you want. Also you should learn how to alternate you feet and hands and what ever you learn on your hands play with your feet. In black metal a lot times drummers don’t use rolls with there feet and if they do it’s not for those really fast parts but the slower parts.

[@Frustratia]

Honestly some of the finest Atmospheric Black Metal I have ever heard.

[@brianyates7255]

G'day from New England...man since ur first vid on D.S. I've been devouring all his vids...He really reminds me of MARIO DUPLANTIER the way he uses cymbals for fills as well as his ride work...Either way you slice it D.S. is a force to be reckoned with..Peace .

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Yes I wasn't reading much into all that

[@morpheoist]

hello, I started playing drums when I was four, I stopped when I was 16/17 to devote myself to synthesizers...you made an interesting reflection about the exchanges that Darkside makes when playing with the right hand, what drummers usually do they play with the left hand and vice versa... bear in mind that you study different percussion instruments at the conservatory. instrument such as the xylophone fall into this category. you learn the ability to play each piece with both hands. we generally learn to play drums if we are right handed by holding the hitthat on the left and playing it with the right, and after years and years of practice we get kind of stuck in an academic form which IMHO makes us limited. I've always thought outside the box. let's be clear, I haven't played the drums for years and I lost my skills, however I wouldn't have the skills to play with a left-handed set but I think that especially for those who are starting out and want to learn certain genres it is good to learn to play with both hands any piece in any position.

[@posermetal8884]

People reeeally don't like hearing this when it gets brought up, but it is worth noting that Mgla have a lot of connections with neo-nazi bands and figures in the black metal community. This includes playing festivals dominated by NSBM (Nationalist Socialist Black Metal) bands, being signed to Northern Heritage Records (a label who signs a lot of NSBM bands and is owned and run by a prominent figure in the NSBM scene, Mikko Aspa), and their members have played and recorded with a number of openly and extremely racist bands. Folks love to talk about seperating the art from the artist, and I'm not here to tell them what they can and can't listen to. Mgla are obviously an insanely talented group of people and their music is quite unique, even within their own niche. But financially supporting and providing a platform for neo-nazis is something that crosses my personal boundaries, and thought you at least deserved to be informed and to make your own decisions about where you stand on that. Love the channel mate, and really enjoy your perspective on extreme metal music as someone outside of the scene. Big love xo

[@spacegrass]

So you're saying they're guilty by association and not actually guilty of pushing any of their own radical racial ideals; that's why people choose to separate their art from their peer's ideologies cause until they come out and say something, it's not their job to police the community.

[@posermetal8884]

@@spacegrass If this is what you consider a "guilty by association" argument and that's not a line that you consider against your values then I don't really know what point you're trying to make? For me, personally, being friends with nazis and being signed to a label that platforms nazis is loser behaviour and I don't support it. I think it's important to give people the information they need to make that decision for themselves, which is all I did in my original comment. No one is telling anyone who they can and can't listen to.
