Fredrik Widigs (2016) - Marduk - Frontschwein (live drum cam)

This footage is of the title track of Marduk’s “Frontschwein”, recorded in Warsaw in 2016.
The characteristic and somewhat unconventional snare pattern over the double-bass part in the middle of the song - which was meant to emphasise the vocal pattern - was the brilliant invention of Mortuus. Performing it correctly turned out to be quite the challenge, both technically and rhythmically, but it makes perfect sense once one fully grasps how the drums and vocals intertwine.

Best drummer Marduk ever had fucking brilliant.

I really appreciated the power and precision of your drumming for Marduk. Thanks for the inspiration and for sharing those videos!

[@fredrikwidigs]

Glad to hear that someone appreciates power and precision and not only speed, thank you for noticing!

[@Weltschmerz1523]

I just wanted to say I wish you were back in Marduk. Your drumwork is greatly missed! You and Emil Dragutinović are my favorites by far.

That fill at the ending is so strong!

[@ray502]

I love your drumming. More groovy than previous Marduk drummers "Frontschwein" and "Viktoria"album are my favorite.

[@fredrikwidigs]

Glad to hear that, thank you!

[@achudrastudios6391]

Compared to other songs he played, this one is like a time to breath for him. Great drummer, miss him in Marduk.

Trve inspiration !

What technique do you use I think it’s not Flying Fingers Right? Can you do a tutorial video?

[@fredrikwidigs]

No specific technique, it has no name. I just let my body move in a way that felt natural and relaxed in order to play the songs.

[@MrE1981]

Right crash cymbal cracked?
