Fleshgod Apocalypse - Francesco Paoli - The Violation drumcam

[@iPlayDrums4You]

the fact that he can play this live is insane. The fact that when he blasts with his right hand, he's getting that hard hitting sound out of the snare is godly.

[@Jakromha]

And what did we learn? Don't try to film Francesco Paoli without a high-speed camera.

[@krzysieksalapa]

:D

[@MetalicSlayer666]

the violation of drums and physics

[@bagaswahyuillahi6009]

Lol :D

[@Doomcakes5677]

Read an article about this guy, he used to play guitar for them but their drummer quit.His love for music made him practice hardcore for 3 years... three fucking years to get this good. Dedication at its finest.

[@oleksiispitsyn7139]

More beats in one video than green day drummer played in his entire life

[@ByOursss]

Doggerman Live Loooooooooooool

[@kaylanwade3392]

+Luke Cook Depends on which perspective you are coming from. Butthurt fanboy, or someone who knows something about music. It's impossible for music like this to work without being tight. So yes, how many notes can you put in whilst also: Sounding good Being tight That's what a good extreme metal drummer is in my eyes.

[@richardIII_Underneath]

+Doggerman Live (AllHailDoggerman) NOT

[@Y2Crouch]

+Luke Cook It does, though. That amount of beats gives the person listening to the song an orgasm instantly.

[@LMTR14]

+Doggerman Live (AllHailDoggerman) who is that

[@FilipeGomesDrummer]

By the way, for your information, the tempo of this song in the album is 270.

[@masteryourmind2760]

Still sounds just like 135 bpm to me.

[@Tenshin66]

He's only been playing for 6years remember that

[@valentincrucifix5200]

+Tenshin Daw you're joking? right? o_o

[@insertname8889]

Tenshin Daw o Oh sh*it

[@imbatrossthescrub2096]

WHAT?!

[@mikety6145]

Is not true

[@RTHpriest]

And played guitar on the first album, switching to drums on the second.

[@pathoffire1217]

i went into cardiac arrest trying to follow his hand movements

[@northwinder]

sick drummer, amazing blasts amazing speed...

[@DustinPlatt]

I need a cigarette after watching this.

[@zimd]

Love how relaxed he is while playing! So skilful!

[@macp988]

still impressed that they have managed to replace him with another drummer

[@ANTHONYFERNANDO]

He means because his legs are moving to the speed of the 8th notes, he doesn't understand that each leg movement is doing double strokes (heel-toe) for the fast parts.

[@andrewamp1]

I can't even get to a minute trying to cover this song, he's just too much, what a legend!

[@blight4hire]

i don't know where you found that tab of blasting but blasting is the legs following the snare hand. so the hands alone is enough to tell if he's off time.

[@DRUMADDICT29]

He's Italian, it's natural.

[@limez0r]

ts like hes drumming like his life depends on it. One of the best metal tracks of all time.

[@lucassaueressig1411]

it depends

[@MrElementHD]

INSANE.

[@gregfldp]

Actually it's Kevin Foley, drummer from Benighted, playing with Disavowed for the show.

[@TheBellyIsOnFire]

The fact he's only been playing for 3 and a half years means he's bound to slip up a couple of times. Even still, he's miles better than I'll ever be.

[@KillYourDrums]

so sick. Have to borrow his left hand..

[@thdgoesutube]

This is amazing, respect !

[@ahmadsatya8245]

No.1 drumer metal. All of time.

[@FilipeGomesDrummer]

Who is now a guitarist :P (again)

[@bellmeisterful]

saw them at The Rail Club in Ft Worth. It sounded awesome live

[@lorissa76]

blast beat...holy fuck!!!Awesome

[@FilipeGomesDrummer]

He did some vocals for all the Fleshgod Apocalypse releases, plus the Hour Of Penance "The Vile Conception", "Paradogma", and also a few years ago for Tyrannic Ethical Reconstruction.

[@isntshekaira]

the lightshow gave me epilepsia lol

[@superapecross]

Nice video... thanks for the upload dude :)

[@ANTHONYFERNANDO]

Each kick produces two hits, cuz he's doing heel-toe, or double strokes on the kick drums.

[@arayashazwan6345]

Fuck he break the physics

[@JJay-m1x]

oh and as an addition to the last post: i have them this sunday again at with full force festival and if you don't belive me i video his foot pedals to make it clear!!!

[@pathoffire1217]

one of the best death metal drummers around! not to mention vocalist. he's an extremely versatile musician!!

[@Kerosian1]

its still heel toe, you can do the motion with your heel off the board, its really the ball of your foot hitting the pedalboard anyways.

[@MrAKrafve]

@masmc24 He uses Double strokes.

[@icoone4996]

lars ulrich's student

[@joeyurso9114]

Ico One other way around

[@dagmarreyes7570]

XD

[@MikeCaputo]

if you actually pay attention to his technique, you notice that his motion changes when he does doubles and singles, so he's actually physically playing those double strokes, not just letting it bounce and being lazy.

[@raymondbauer2152]

Lol, awesome finding you here, Mike :D

[@klick2destruct]

would be interesting which hand technique he has apart from flying fingers. on the ride it looks like a sort of push-pull thing but on the hihat it looks like ancle only...

[@FilipeGomesDrummer]

That's why I mentioned that you can't really hear the bassdrum trigger. :)

[@Kerosian1]

Just to clear this up, you dont need your heel on the board for heel toe doubles. Just lift your heel as in heel up and apply the same "rocking" type motion that you use when physically hitting the board with your heel. Bam, double strokes.

[@kubaskoupy]

unbelievable

[@9HellbounD6]

"fatti non foste per viver come bruti ma per seguir virtute e conoscenza" beautiful!!

[@MaxPunisher]

More hits on snare in this video than I did in my whole life ;-)....awesome

[@BorregaardStudios]

It's the blinking light that makes it look like he's foots are going 2 times slower. + he's doing heel-toe.

[@klick2destruct]

he don't just hit the snare fast, he also hits it hard. that's what i call trained!

[@FilipeGomesDrummer]

I didn't say it was ok to get of time, did I? No one is going to crucify him because he got off time in a small part of the blastbeat section. I was referring to bassdrum triggers.

[@FilipeGomesDrummer]

Francesco told me that he does double-strokes. I'll post that information in the description.

[@down6574]

Actually ive toured with fleshgod Apocalypse and ive used/Seen Francesco's Trigger and module... AND i can say that you need hit a bit harder make the trigger go off. so hes solid

[@FilipeGomesDrummer]

Double strokes and heel-toe are different techniques, which look similar. I suggest you check out the work of John Longstreth and Sergio Arocha. Here Sergio shows how it's done, and explains that heel-toe is not so good for your plantar fascia and your knees... v=Js8KG1xDOkM

[@FilipeGomesDrummer]

@maxxdaviespart2 Hahaha, yeah complain to the lightning technician who used the strobe light too much... But it goes away after a few seconds ;)

[@FilipeGomesDrummer]

Don't let the camera sound fool you. I was right there next to him, and I could hear the bassdrum, and he was not sloppy. If you watch other videos of him you can hear it.

[@theslowfreak]

He does not use trigger, its called the "hell toes" technique. He just use it insanely fast.

[@melismadeathmetal]

Este tipo es uno de los metaleros mas disciplinados de toda la historia.

[@fedepv5175]

sono dei grandi!!scoperti oggi!!

[@haeselian]

This man is a genius who loves his trade

[@FilipeGomesDrummer]

Thank you!

[@dustinmiller2342]

too much awesome is more like it. I wonder weird stuff at times? I would like a lil feed back on other thoughts on this ok this guy could be a contener in mma or the ufc lol. Speed accuracy agility STAMINA hand eye coordination. extreme focus. What do you goes think?

[@FubraDrums]

if you like a band, people assume you only like that bands style. No, i like alot of drummers, and i like this guy too. i dont solely like just death metal. i like listening to intensely fast drumming just as much as any other kind of drumming. Plus, i like the intense drums in the context of the rest of the music

[@FilipeGomesDrummer]

I saw Benighted in June at Hellfest and it was one hell of a show, I watched it from the photo pit :)

[@DurzoBlint69]

What a master

[@adam1ooo]

For me it has been George Kollias. Reason i want to play Extreme Metal. I shall be sure to check it out!

[@luffare91]

Francessco started to play drums in 2009, thats 3 years experience only.

[@FilipeGomesDrummer]

Bracara Extreme Fest, Braga, Portugal

[@doublebassrox]

yeah it is ridiculously hard to hold that pace, but jan has other videos to prove hes great at blasting, plus he just recently triggered his kit so im a firm believer

[@FilipeGomesDrummer]

Please do that, film his pedals and then send me the link of the video and I'll post it on the description!

[@FilipeGomesDrummer]

Not 2 years... He started doing drums for Fleshgod more than 2 years ago.

[@vincegedeon6583]

THIS GUYS DRUMMING IS FROM ANOTHER WORLD WOW!! INSANITY

[@nobody-xz9yw]

Sounds like the title of a clickbait KZbin video

[@Kain_R_Heinlein]

Looks like he had a bit of trouble on the longer blast beats but keeping 270 for that long is exhausting with the power he plays it with

[@deepheart100]

how in the world do his arms not get tired?

[@FilipeGomesDrummer]

You cannot compare both band styles. I consider the musical arrangements in Ulcerate much more challenging and intriguing. Never heard of those bands, gonna check them out!

[@ricardopineda176]

Holy shit...

[@optimus]

I need Francesco's cardio workout. How in the phuck does he have endurance for the entire show?

[@vexbanearamori7224]

SAAAAAAAAAAAAME

[@Ardalionov_Vlad]

Infant annihilation - blasphemian please🙏

[@FilipeGomesDrummer]

His first work as a drummer was in 2007...

[@jmetalskinz]

Even though there are a couple of sloppy parts, Francesco is setting a bar for death metal drumming in my opinion...not to mention the overall quality of Epic music that he helps write in Fleshgod!

[@FilipeGomesDrummer]

@masmc24 Yes, that's right.

[@handorando9602]

rofl are we eventually getting to the part where every drummer sucks? like i saw some comments below saying francesco sucks because he uses heel-toe? Wtf? So if you have skills or knowledge it means you are shit? lol this jealousy

[@GotDj0nt552]

+Hando Rando yeah! heel-toe is one of the hardest techniques on drums

[@AetigmaFacade]

TerrorKilling Z heel toe is not hard. its 80% pedal settings 20% technique. watch a video on heel toe you'll see. I'm not taking away from the skill of Fran. just its not one of the hardest. truly isnt. get a direct drive, tighten your front head, max spring setting, control rebound just like a double stroke roll with hands. MUST HAVE TRIGGERS. hardest foot tech in my eyes is the pressure swivel (not regular swivel) the pressure swivel

[@RevenantAD]

TerrorKilling Z not really I was able to do heel toe without even knowing how to drum

[@mrb3888]

Aetigma Facade I agree pressure swivel is unworldly

[@AlexNourse52]

Doing heel toe is hard, especially for playing without a trigger, yes pedal settings do matter but it is very hard thing to learn. You have to get them clean, the drummer from Lorna shore does heel toe at slow tempos all the way to 300bpm. Most people can't even do heel toe at slow tempos, it's all about foot work and having each hit with power.

[@killswitch3ngag3]

Heel toe also is a double stroke!!

[@DeadGlassEyes]

Awesome but.. where were the hyper blasts in the beginning?

[@RigoGraves]

Que nivel..!!!

[@FilipeGomesDrummer]

According to Metal-Archives he's been doing drums since 2007.

[@tommyXBOX360]

Does Mr sicmaggoter play in a band as drummer? Under this argumentation I could call every drummer that makes mistakes live good because Mr sicmaggoter cannot play like them. Nevertheless, great props for franseco since he has just 4 years of drumming experience and does super complex and fast songs.

[@FilipeGomesDrummer]

Yes, that's it.

[@blackcitadel37]

He is a fucking human gatling gun.

[@chrisd8053]

Honestly, watching his drum camera videos... there's a lot in there that doesn't look like he's actually doing some of the really fast double base parts....

[@FilipeGomesDrummer]

Christian Dunham He does, I was right next to him and could hear the trigger sound everytime he hit the head. He does double-strokes, and it's so fast that you can't expect to see the beater move a lot. You can see the same thing on my Dave McGraw video, he does the same double-strokes at 1:32. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qJrVfqJue7Npgc0

[@dgonzala]

You will never tell with the flashing lights

[@Kain_R_Heinlein]

Christian Dunham you obviously don't know what double strokes are

[@Drumsnelson93]

guess i misheard what he said in the interview. that's probably what he meant.

[@THYARTisJORDAN]

you try playing sets for over 30 minutes constantly blasting. try it

[@tommyward4838]

insane!

[@FilipeGomesDrummer]

There are other circumstances that affect his stamina while playing this, like for example... being on tour and having to play this almost everyday for a few weeks. You're making a huge fuss just because he goes off tempo for a small period of time while you're ignoring all the rest.

[@promptingbeastai]

well said

[@masmc24]

As I can see, he uses Heel-toe in the fastest tempos, right?

[@watchlistenlearn]

100%

[@Getchafuck1]

where is your travis barker now ?

[@sicmaggoter]

seriously,none hears that the blasting gets off time?

[@hellsinvader]

when i saw these guys live Francesco was dead on the whole time. THIS is ONE song at ONE show. Are you saying you can do better?

[@Livingcorpse8]

First, check out what Triggers are, because you have no Idea.... And then I guess you didn't watch the Video to the end right? Because look at 1:49 - you can SEE and actually HEAR the Triggers...

[@gregfldp]

No problem ! :)

[@sicmaggoter]

So?if u dont find anything wrong with the band's metronome(drummer) being off time,ok. (btw,the snare isnt triggered,its miced,so i dont see why you refer to the feet triggers)

[@drums4life53]

like Grave?

[@AmroHMoussa]

He's still a new drummer, give him time :)

[@FilipeGomesDrummer]

That is correct!

[@tambian89]

and his doubles are insane! not mention that he does have power behind them
