Man if u want crazy bpm do aaron kitcher of infant annihilator id suggest the song cuncrusher or soil the stillborn but any of their songs are off the charts awesome

@justin blake He's already done it m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/gZK6f4WXhdZ-rZY

[@andrewhelms2573]

Don’t know if you noticed on the video on the foot cam, but even at the slower steady double bass licks he was using double strokes for most the entire song, first one ive ever seen do doubles at a speed in which it’s easier to do single strokes

I know the drum playthrough is ideal for your channel but if you get the chance in your own time you've gotta check out the full song with vocals for the pauses to make sense 👌👍

So cool, I saw this guy 10 years ago in the basement rehearsal room “red gates” as an administrator, and every free minute he studied and practiced his machine-gun blast bits, and now I see him on the Andrew channel, I'm so proud of him 🤘 Заебись!

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Great!

та же история с практически тем же таймлайном! Приходишь на ред гейтс заниматься или репать и слышишь его бласты. Открывается комната и он выходит, как из парилки, из дыма, похожий на Брюса Ли от барабанов.

Lets not even mention the backwards drumsticks.

@@charliewenthe4411 I forgot about that. I need to watch those.

[@xSilentKhaosx]

Drummers like this and even guitarists blow my freakin mind not even just because of their skill in playing stuff like this but because they can actually remember everything.

[@renneej1238]

thats why you rehears the song u make with the band you know practice then u remember everything XD

[@Flying_Lexus]

Yes, guitarists and drummers compliment each other so well. And base is very important too.

[@gerizekalu0]

I love that it looks like your cam straight froze for about 30 seconds before your first pause. Yeah, me too man.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

HAHA Jesse! Only been a few vids that have floored me like that!

[@leaveeye]

"This is how you hold your drum stick" Evgeny Novikov: No

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

HAHA!

[@EmberTheShark]

"Nyet, Stick is fine"

[@MatthewOceanXVX]

"That was not only fast, it was super tasty". Haha that quote is great. Was waiting for a comment about the upside down sticks!

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

I didn't even notice in the moment until people started mentioning it!

[@overdrivenzen224]

My uncle used to play with upside down sticks when he was in his band. I asked him why back in the day and he said he liked the sound of it.

[@alys__drummer]

I love how Evgeniy plays with his sticks backwards, I’ve tried adopting that into my playing and it’s pretty cool it feels really good

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Yup I do that too.

[@hauntednugget]

Evgeny is a BEAST on drums... I love metal music due to the insane body work and just pure ENERGY!!!!! SLAUGHTER TO PREVAIL KICKS ASS!!!!!!

Andy, love the channel, that's why I'm going to say, STOP APOLOGIZING FOR STOPPING THE VIDEOS! This is the entire point of your channel and is why I watch and like every video you put out. Just do your thing, my man. Anyone that doesn't like it can suck a dingo! :)

[@patrickmartin4482]

Evgeny blasting like a machine is insane when you realize he's doing it with the butt of his sticks

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Yes!

[@TheDjentleman77]

Yes! So glad you did this one! 🤘🏻🥳 He has two other playthroughs that I highly recommend. The songs are called Baba Yaga and Zavali Ebalo. He is a beast!! 👌🏻

[@deegee6046]

Yes but the real question is: Does he have any brush technique?

[@TheDjentleman77]

That’s a good looking question! 😅😉

[@erokbossan420]

[@sstrick500]

Passion and determination will get you anywhere. I remember a story about a guitarist (learning guitarist).....he practiced a certain song for a year or two. He finally nailed it. Come to find out......the song was played with TWO guitars!

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

🤣👌 Yup anything is possible

[@dapaintbrush6965]

This man is something else. The whole band is amazing. Great reaction

[@davidcraig4466]

This dude is unbelievable. Cool thing to note how much bass plays into the song as well, even with the insane drums it still sounded a bit open/empty without all of the heavy resonance

[@RelentlessRage]

Correct. You pronounced his name just right. Yep, it was one-handed gravity blast. Also Stick are reverse grip. Slow part in the end - it was breakdown, where Vocalist perform most

[@sebaperalta2001]

I love your voice, it's so calming! Great video and reaction! I highly recommend watching the official music video of this song, even if you possibly don't like this kind of music, you certainly can not miss the vocals! 💘

[@diablefernal]

Andrew love your channel I appreciate how especially for a non metal head how you’ve give flower for the genre all the time

[@liamdalton3943]

The people who dislike this video clearly don’t appreciate music, period.

[@Dixby_floppy]

Dont know how i came across this but im a big Slaughter fan, theyre russian and perform phenomenal. Alex terrible is also very humble

[@billwhitman4125]

This drummer is just a cut above the other drummers in this genre that I have watched. I haven't watched too many, but enough to say what I said. This drummer can do it all. Great reaction

[@benjaminfinnan7918]

Transitions from heel-toe blasts to single foot unbelievably smooth

[@jacobkean03]

I just recently found this band and they’re all around talented but their drummer is something out of this world.

[@luckystryke9709]

I’ve seen some of his stuff from his older band and he’s incredible. So much talent

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Can't wait to check out more

[@jordanwill1923]

You must check out "Zavali Ebalo". It will show you a lot more of evgeny's chops and overall technique

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Thanks for the tip!

[@indus3270]

Gotta appreciate Evgeny's ability to push out such agressive drums and still be tight and groovy about it. I've never understood where the man finds the time, even on live concerts, to do friggin' stick flips between fills lol

[@Jmack7861]

I love the 50k sub plaque, it’s my favorite KZbin has put out so far

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Me too!

[@karimotic1102]

Evgeny is by far one of the most entertaining drummers i saw in my whole life! This Guy is so fkn crazy!

[@averageatbest8146]

I enjoy this type of music. That being said, some drummers for this type of music just play fast and its very dull. I love this drummer and the drummer for Lorna Shore. They use the fills as well as cymbal work on top of the double bass and blast beats. Love it.

[@colbymurray847]

I love how evgeny uses his sticks backwards for the heavier sound. I don’t drum myself but I believe it does do that.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Yup I often play left stick backwards

[@Lucifurion]

Vinnie Paul used to play custom sticks that had no tips at all rather than play regular sticks upside down. He wasn't the most technical drummer but damn did he hit hard.

[@SpeedOfThought1111]

@@AndrewRooneyDrums Don Caballero has an amazing drummer who plays upside down sticks. There's nothing to react to as far as i know (no quality live shows on youtube or playthroughs), but in your own time i definitely recommend checking out the first couple of albums. He's a unique player. The band is basically designed to allow him to show off the whole time.

[@mattb9803]

If I remember hearing right… the main reason for him playing with the sticks like that was because he hits so hard and just kept breaking sticks constantly

[@matthewgodding777]

Just hit harder.

[@madiskruusmann302]

I hear the vocals in my head while listening to this

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

[@kylekinney9455]

I'm with you man, whether or not this is yours/my style of music or anyone else's (its totally mine though) how could someone not recognize and properly acknowledge the musicianship and artistry it takes to do things like this? I think 75% of those dislikes have 1 thing in common..jealousy..love your reactions thank you

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Thanks Kyle. The best thing about making these videos is I have to stop and listen to something I wouldn't normally. And it's being amazing. Totally changed things for me

[@yaboisteve235]

Dude, I'm constantly telling my non metal friends that it really is worth listening to just to appreciate how genuinely fucked up good the musicians are in these bands

[@jason1888]

I smoked some chicken legs and ate them while watching this. You gotta please as many senses as you can all at the same time. Crazy accurate drumming right there.

[@Ugrasrava]

I've got an extreme drummer that I don't think you've done yet, and he's one of the most influential out there: Derek Roddy. He's best known for his work with Hate Eternal and Nile, but these days he mostly does clinic work if I remember correctly. He's also one of the most down to earth, reasonable, no-bullshit musicians I've ever had the pleasure of speaking with.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

I've never seen Derek Roddy. Have heard amazing things. Good tip!

[@ragnar643]

[@jonny_kung]

Please look at some Dirk Verburen drumming on YT. I would love to see you review any of his drumming videos!

[@josephschultzz1706]

He was the first drummer I noticed is holding the sticks backwards? just compared to how most people do it. Guess others have done this also, been trying to check out how many other drummers do this, I never noticed this before him, It still Amazes me the amount of talented people out there in the world

[@Onegeftw]

this song is an absolute monster! Made my day that you whent that dark! gonna have to agree with all the other dudes here saying you should check out the song with vocals aswell. Alex Terrible (vocals) has the lowest scream / growl that i have ever herd. This song is just an absolute banger. and the drums sound even better Imo on top of the track. just masterfully played

[@stephenwillis9133]

Checkout the drum play throughs of Spiritbox's drummer Zev Rose. Think they have 2 or 3 out now.

[@knotslip8862]

Slaughter to Prevail is the band. The song is called Demolisher. Just FYI! Great vid.

[@UltraCasualPenguin]

It's american thing. They read them always: Track title - Artist/Band So if it's "Slaughter to Prevail - Demolisher" for them it's always Slaughter to Prevail by Demolisher.

[@danriseborough8535]

I agree with his drumming is like the Olympics. To get to my fastest double kick speed it too me 2 years of 3 hr days drumming that I even got to master the swivel technique to match my speed. And if you had a few days off you could feel then strain of trying to keep up.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

I bet Dan!

[@nebulagaze47]

i felt that double kick unbelievable

[@lilwoowoowoozie9242]

STP is the band. 'Demolisher' is the song name. Fun fact: Evgeny plays with the sticks upside down so he's actually holding the heads of the sticks and the butts of the sticks are the ones actually hitting the heads

[@Itzsophie22xx]

I'm not a drummer but this is really cool and makes sense for the actual song which I recommend the official video of Demolisher from slaughter to prevail because it will make the drum part make more sense on how its played. Anyhoo happy listening:)

[@jasonbarlow338]
