Amazing! I’m a professional guitar player that only watches drumming videos because I enjoy seeing the guys That I play with. I really don’t care about guitar stuff. I really enjoyed the video and super appreciate the technique your dedication. I’m forwarding your info to my son right now who is a drummer. Thanks

[@Demonstealer]

David Diepold is not just an amazing drummer but he's also an extremely humble and all round nice guy. I had the pleasure to work with him on 2 songs for my solo project and 2 songs with my band and it was like a dream come true. Been watching his videos for years. Also got to meet him in person and watch him fill in for Benighted on the drums at Brutal Assault in 2015. What an absolute LEGEND!

[@HyBriDa2O]

His play through of Kingborn is phenomenal. Been watching David for over 7 years now - he is amazing

[@Wollestar]

I was screaming at my monitor when you said it is going to be David Diepold. This guy is the shit. So happy you are aware of him.

[@SighterFilm]

I'm no drummer, but I follow you because of your passion for the instrument, the playing, the drummers... And the fact that you share not only your talent and knowledge, but also you make us discover other masters of this magnificent instrument that is the drum... Respect Brother!

[@christopherhoward2925]

Yes! Well put. My exact thoughts.

[@chiefindisguise]

Diepold is a Machine, one of my favorite TechDeathMetal drummers. His cover of the Nile “The inevitable degradation of flesh”and John Longstreth “Saligia” are insane examples of technical drumming, masterclasses.

[@FotherMucker00]

*where did he cover Origin's Saligia?*

[@jeffwoolsey6926]

@@FotherMucker00 He's saying John Longstreth's playthrough is nuts. It's on the Meinl channel.

[@themadcentrist9396]

Love that you give other people such exposure and praise. Very classy. He doesn't need the exposure but you might appreciate Aron Mellergård of Dirty Loops. Check out the drum solo at the end of "Work Shit Out".

[@siegfriedstrauss]

Finally David Diepold is getting the recognition he deserves for soooooooo long!

[@GeminiWoods]

Guy is a monster on the kit. He deserves every bit of success!

[@KCBeck]

I’ve heard of him for a few years never seen him play! St. Vinnie and Bonom are smiling down!

[@sarokh666]

100% agree

[@DOOM.SLAYER666]

What do you mean finally? 66samus has done a video of him 2years ago, Craig Reynolds did a video of him 3years ago and Andrew Rooney did a video of him 3years ago too and most metal drummers have known bout David for years. He has been a well recognized drummer for a long time among the metal scene just as Derek Roddy ,Pete Sandoval George Kollias, Inferno,Lord Marco, and John Longstreth are well known phenomenal drummers in the metal universe. Edit. It's just everyday people don't give a fuck really

[@chasebritt8564]

I have a lot of David Diepold's drum playthroughs and covers downloaded onto my phone. Long 12+ hour flights on a C-130, I would watch these over and over again. It is so awesome to see you reacting to this in a similar way! Bro is inspiring with how little attention he has received for years but how godly his skills are.

[@hopefulmonsters]

11:48 NOT A SINGLE F**KING FLAM! This is the most impressive part of the video. What a machine!

[@MichaelGrubbEvolvedMinistry]

And is there something wrong with flams that I am unaware of?

[@hopefulmonsters]

@@MichaelGrubbEvolvedMinistry no, absolutely not if you want them to be there. But in the mentioned fill, hands and feet are in perfect sync. you don't hear any (unintended) flam and that is a sign of mastery, because at that speed it's very hard to play 'unisono' without having little timing issues, which would cause an unintended flam between feet and hands.

[@BaerndXP]

He's one of my favourites. Only criticism I see is that live (with Obscura) his snare is drowning while blasting because the sound guy has to level it to rimshots. Apart from that, he's technically perfect. Doesn't get any better than that.

[@leonemfrag3826]

Maaaaan I didn't even know he was playing with Obscura. Not that surprising thinking about it. I only knew about Hannes Grossmann but didn't keep up after he left.

[@totenkult]

David Diepold is easily one of the best metal drummers in the world. Shame the song he is playing isn't getting the recognition it deserves (Dead Set on Suicide by Cattle Decapitation)

[@Oryyyt]

Yeah now I'm convinced. That was just not humanly possible

[@totenkult]

@@Oryyyt I mean it is possible, he played it lol! Also check out Dave McGraw who wrote those drum parts

[@danielmantell3084]

I think the problem is you need a certain level of drum knowledge to even understand how good it is. Like I play drums a bit, but I had no idea what he was pointing out half the time. I know what the words mean, but my ears and brain can't keep up. I'm busy trying to get my 8th note double bass kicks not to sound like ass, how could I possibly understand the complexity of the gods.

[@alexbliss9353]

He's playing a cover is probably why it's not more popular.

[@MrMango331]

If it were shame, might wanna add the song name to the comment?

[@jeffpsellers]

This guy is amazing. Also love his shirt! DREDG! They also have an amazing drummer. Watched him live several times.

[@Zed-gb4zf]

Diepold is just the best drummer I’ve seen. It is so clean and precise. Absolutely beautiful playing style

[@frvandepavert]

You should see a video from Dan Presland. He was the drummer for Ne Obliviscaris. Check out the studio drumcam for “ And Plague Flowers the Kaleidoscope”. This guy is insane

[@satricon]

Soz, its boring af :'S

[@samfarrell6509]

NeO are my favorite band in the world by a LONG shot, and I've met Dan several times, but with respect to his talent, he is nowhere *near* this level.

[@foreverunsaved6661]

Dan Presland sounds like an actual drummer. This guy in this video is soon to join Lord Marko on a list of drummers getting exposed. Take away this man's triggers, samples, and electronics, and let's see what he is made of - 100% not impressed in the least with this man. Mr. Presland, on the other hand, is looking at a much brighter future than this subject. Sure, he may, or may not, use triggers on his kicks, but it becomes quickly apparent that he doesn't need them. This guy though, if he was to play an unmiked set, his weaknesses would quickly get exposed.

[@Errefxul]

Have you ever seen Nick Yacyshyn's drum cam from Baptist live at Rain City? It's one of the most impressive drum performance that I've ever seen, not just the execution, but the joy that he shows while playing is just the best, when I need to lift me up I watch that drum cam, lol

[@tattoostudioleitmotif4703]

[@FernandoRaposo]

I just recommended someone on another channel who watched Spencer Prewett Lucid Collective's playthrough to watch this. I discovered Cattle around 2013 and I've been showing this to a lot of my friends in the last 10 years. And just realised it actually came out 10 years ago. The switching always amazed me, as it seems to amaze you too. Glad you know about it and are showing it on your channel.

You're are a f*cking legend mate! Thanks for bringing attention to this amazing drummer. His economy of movement while playing this insane sh*t is crazy!

[@speckon]

I am from Austria, too. The first time I saw one of his videos was probably back in 2014 and I was totally blown away by this guy! His technique, stamina and controls are insane! He is an absolute beast and thank you for presenting him to a bigger crowd! Keep going, man!

[@dennisjohnston7967]

Didn't know he drummed for obscura! Heard him with cognizance and loved it

[@Natedrumming]

The best part about this ENTIRE video is the lack of triggers. I just personally love the completely natural sound. I love David’s playing ❤

[@jadedbreadncircus9159]

Holy shit I know about Diepold. He was doing straight blasts with his fingers without breaking a sweat, & he had to switch to push pull because of injuries from so much practice for upkeep, & also time & life getting in the way. Of course push pull takes a long time to develop at that speed, but it seems like the most long term least stressful technique for blasting. You should also check out the psycho from Ophidian I. I can't remember his name, but he looks like his push pull is some sort of laser precision science experiment.

[@Rachel-rq7ci]

Been a subscriber to Diepold for many years. He blew me away with the first video I saw. Thank you for showcasing him!

[@drummerw17]

Excellent video. The posture he has touching everything is what, in my personal opinion, has helped him do such an excellent job. The cuts in the Crash cymbal are masterful. The stops he makes and then continue with the blast beat are on another level. The most amazing thing about the video is how happy and relaxed he is in carrying out this great job.👊🤙🥁🤙👊

[@jeffparis51]

I've been watching David for 10 years now since he released his Arcana Hereticae cover by Behemoth, and i knew one day he would get the recognition he deserves. Dude plays the drums like he was built to play them and he disappears for a few months only to come back impossibly better. His new stuff is mind blowing.
