Gene Hoglan drum playthrough of Death's "The Philosopher" off the Individual Thought Patterns Album. From Gene's brand new DVD The Atomic Clock : The Clock Strikes Two.
"I remember on the 'adorable little riff tape' that Chuck sent me, this tune was pretty much ready to go. It didn't require any transposing on my part to make it any heavier."
"Now, this instance is possibly captured on the DVD, but as you may notice in the verses, I don't catch the hi-hat conventionally with my foot, I use my hands to catch it. I wanted to have the kick land under the snare yet still have the choked hi-hat on the same beat, and at that time, that kick drum would have been my left, which would obviously be my hi-hat choking foot. So, my only alternative was to do a hi-hat choke manually with my left hand. And you know what? In the long run, it probably didn't make a damn bit of difference. The hand chokes are not all that 'chokey', and the kick under the whole shebang doesn't really make it any more powerful.
Hey, remember when I said that I'm up for challenges? Apparently that runs to the 'self-inflicted' as well."
"The neato thing about this version is that I didn't even know that there was an extra two minutes of jam at the end until I'm getting filmed playing it! Apparently we played it that long on the original, but I definitely don't remember it. Hell, I'm too busy remembering Overactive Vaginas, Donald Tardy's and hi-hat chokings to remember long extendo-jams.
Again, there was no reviewing of anything before tracking the DVD, so on that filmed take, I'm actually surprised that this tune is not ending like, two bars after where the album's fade happens. Hence, me going way off the riff, 'cause with no click, there's really nothing to follow except for Chuck's random two-note progression. Ah well, warts & all is how I likes to brings it to ya. And don't forget, with zero prep either. Jeez Hoglan, get it together next time, will ya?"
The Wait is Over!
GENE HOGLAN's "The Atomic Clock: The Clock Strikes Two" DVD to be Released February 3, 2017
Featuring Interviews with Members of ANTHRAX, TESTAMENT and More!
GENE HOGLAN's highly-anticipated second DVD, The Atomic Clock: The Clock Strikes Two, is due to be released Feb. 3, 2017 and will feature the Clock himself breaking down some of his favorite beats, telling stories and playing along with tracks from several of his most legendary projects, including Strapping Young Lad, Testament and Death.
Filmed in high definition on a dozen cameras, with studio-mastered audio, this DVD offers a chance to see GENE HOGLAN play like never before. Though certainly inspirational for any level of musician, The Atomic Clock: The Clock Strikes Two is not only for drummers. Gene's easygoing, approachable attitude is readily apparent as he happily tells the viewer stories from his career, chatting as if with old friends about days in the studio or on the road.
An impressive roster of high-caliber musicians also weigh in over the course of the feature, offering stories about Gene and their experiences working with him. Interviews include Scott Ian and Frank Bello of Anthrax, 3 Inches of Blood/Revocation's Ash Pearson, Jason Bittner of Shadows Fall, Chuck Billy, Alex Skolnick, and Eric Peterson of Testament, and more.
Featured Tracks:
Testament: "Rise Up," "Native Blood"
Galaktikon: "On My Way"
Meldrum: "Walking Point," "A Toast To Romance"
Strapping Young Lad: "Skeksis"
Death: "Overactive Imagination," and "The Philosopher"
This DVD provides a glimpse into the philosophies, techniques, and history of one of metal's most influential musicians of all time.
The Atomic Clock: The Clock Strikes Two was recorded At The Warehouse Studios Vancouver, Canada. The DVD was edited by Leon Melas and directed by Rob Shallcross and Leon Melas, with co-direction from GENE HOGLAN. All audio was produced, engineered and mixed by Rob Shallcross with audio mastering from Greg Reely.

If I was in a hugely successful band, I would be taking secret lessons from Mr. Gene Hoglan.

That was amazing! There's some beautiful parts: very creative and there is so many intricate and, even unnoticeable to the eye, and which makes it - well, you - stand out as one of the best metal drummers of all time. Thanks and I was very lucky to see the Death Legend's tour in London; that's, unfortunately, the closest I'll ever get to seeing, Chuck. Cheers, man. :)

That is not playing drums. That is writing a composition. I havent listened a better Death album since 1993. Hoglan and Digiorgio .. I frikkin love you guys.

Dude is a beast. Met him back in the early days, very cool dude too.

[@tietjen666]

Mr. Hoglan- I have studied your musicianship for years and have learned very much.I have incorporated what I learned from you into my orchestral double bass performance career and am forever grateful to you. Thank you, sir!

[@MrBurlybiker]

Hey Gene! It's Gabe from the old Naphobia days! Thanx for being such an inspiration over the years!

More than 15 years later and I've actually never heard this song sound this good until listening to this. Is this an unreleased cut, a remaster, or something else? It sounds soooo good.

[@ferox965]

Sounds like an unedited cut-the trading off at the end goes a lot longer than the original-fine by me.

[@maxdurk4624]

I think the drums are just loud in the mix and the fade out effect on the ending solos is turned off

[@SHouseRecords]

Now, that's five minutes of my life well-spent. Gene is amazing! And also, I haven't listened to this song in a while, so it was good to hear it again.

[@RaidShadowRipoff]

Thank you Gene for all of your life's work. The video for "the philosopher" on headbangers ball changed my life. Introduced me to my favorite metal bands of all time. And I wouldn't be a drummer today if it weren't for your music, and Sean Reinert. Followed by Vinnie. RIP, Chuck, Dime, Vinnie, Lemmy.

[@kellykasparek8150]

been a fan since his Dark Angel days.

[@RickyPantera69]

Another underated band he was in lol

[@Michael_Michaels]

If there's anyone around here that deserves the 1 million subscribers achievement is Gene!!! So I say let's help him!!! Spread the link!!!

[@Amivgr1]

So crisp so precise so rhythmic

[@joshuaehrhardt5284]

Gene is so cool. He plays drums with such skill and experience, and makes it look effortless...he really is The Atomic Clock! Also love this cut where the ending is not faded out.

[@VIPER03100]

Death and Obituary the patriarchs of death metal. How can someone forget the best years of his life...

[@WakeUpDead2012]

Definitely one of My favorite drummers of all time!

[@arturmalachowski8949]

This kind of drumming is what revived metal. Double pedal or blastbeats throughout an entire album is fine but can't be done over and over again. Thanks Gene!

[@newcomerjason7791]

He makes it look so easy....Dude is a drumming god.

[@marcissobadass]

Such a great drummer and kind soul.

[@RR1976]

A must for all Death/Chuck Schuldiner fans also, song usually fades out way before minute marker 4:30 rolls around, so it's like hearing previously unreleased material, cool to hear those extra bits of soloing.

[@MrSimondaniel3]

legit. this never ceases to amaze + entertain, since 93 or whenever the record came out. & u can really hear those sick bass solos in this mix.

[@frankgarcia553]

Oh back from the Dead,my all time favorite Death
