Gene Hoglan - The Atomic Clock

[@tencizinec9583]

17:34 " I'm a really lazy drummer, i like to make everything really easy " Plays with boots and weights

[@ThunderRiffs87]

This man’s playing is eclipsed by his heart. Not asking for money directly to him, but if you got the disc or video on the internet for free, to donate what it’s worth to you to a charity. That speaks volumes of his character.

[@InzidenzPanik]

He is known to be one of the nicest guys in metal.

[@paulwisham5943]

He rocks as hard as he gives! Work hard , play hard!

[@garbagemancan]

how so? the outcome for him is the same either way it's called virtue signalling, and you fell for it.

[@nvbl2806]

​@@garbagemancanwhat a nice thing to say

[@portal432]

I've always heard about Gene, not realy familiar with him. That is the thing that stood out to me about him, he seems like a real good dude, prob one of the nicest guys around.

[@MetalBaller83]

Gene NEVER gets the respect he deserves. Anytime there’s a “greatest drummers” list put out by anyone, he is rarely ever mentioned. CRIMINALLY underrated and under appreciated 🤘🏻😈🤘🏻

[@MetalBaller83]

@@kimhoffmannandersen5477 Fair point; most of the time, those “top drummer” lists aren’t even put together by actual drummers/musicians; let alone those who actually know and appreciate heavy music. That comment was more for those people and less for those of us that know better lol. When I say “criminally underrated”, I was talking in the grand scheme of things. Of course we in the metal community know and respect his chops. 🤘🏻😈🤘🏻

Gene is a legend. Watched him perform for 3 bands in one night. Absolutely legendary.

I saw him play for 2 bands one night. I want to say it was SYL and Opeth.

Incredible talent

@karlarmitage9406 Hell yeah! I got to see a DTA tour as well! Quite a few years ago now. 2010s. They played the Human album in full. It was incredible. What an excellent way to keep Chuck's legacy going. RIP Chuck. I got the Spiritual Healing logo tattooed on my forearm. It was released the year I was born.

[@RandyHanley]

His playing was so ahead of our time and unbelievably good.

[@Zarthian]

No matter what band he's in you know its the atomic clock, hands down the most tasteful and influential death metal drummers. The Neil Pert reference makes so much sense.

[@Wonmanbanned]

I don’t think there is a huge difference in age between me and gene, but he reminds me of a weird zen like master grandpa, just brimming with wholesomeness, niceness and drumming chops. I aren’t even a drummer and I get my pull if this. He’s just a master musician and a jolly nice fellow all round.

[@Sludgee9]

He's so sickeningly good...so few of us will ever get anywhere near his playing...he's insane, a legend.

[@RandyHanley]

Gene seems like one of the coolest people on the planet.

[@d36williams]

Gene Hoglan seems so kind the way he talks

[@ABCDEF-pf2nt]

One of the most ingenious and inspirational drummers of all time. Play (or try to play) any of the songs on Symbolic and try to realise what it takes to come up with this stuff.

[@N8oRMusic]

Undoubtedly the most interesting sounding Metal drummer to date. His beats just speak with the rest of the music.

[@anotherimpact8302]

God level drummer and character,absolute legend

[@dazza3115]

I brought this on DVD when it first came out from Gene's website. This guy is an incredible drummer and a very nice person too.

[@heavymetal9622]

I bought this DVD years ago the extras are great too, he talked about his kit and his pedals and how he once mounted a metal boat propeller onto his kit and used to play it

[@unkind78]

You can see that propeller in Philosopher video and in live videos from Death from that era.

[@MrKezzaRHCP]

@@unkind78 its also on the symbolic album recorded in one of the songs, can't remember which one... but I think he mentions in the extras as this is on youtube down the rabbit hole.

[@BigBlackTruckDave]

One of the coolest guys on the planet!

[@gregorymueller67]

I love the that he is truly left handed and footed! Very noticeable when he does his warm up routine. His left hand has no problem with increasing the BPM. When he comes back to the right hand, he marginal decreases the speed. Just an observation. He is a lefty, no doubt.

[@slaughtered60]

Gene Hoglan is a living leyend.

[@Yvo19]

THAT'S, a f**king opening. I will 100% be doing that. Top shelf dude.

[@edwardthegreat3954]

Good on you, Gene. Great suggeation. I just donated to Focus on the Family, Heritage Foundation, the National Right to Life, and the NRA.

[@d36williams]

29:47 a common thread in Gene's talks is the ease of his strength... like "i just keep the weights on, its comforting..." I think this air drumming might be a beastly reason. I'm often playing on pillows but air is even less rebound

[@bestiaonthedrums]

got this dvd when it came out 👌🏻

[@christophermyers8157]

Thanks for the homework and inspiration! You remind me of a kid in a candy store! Your ergonomics are amazing! When I play anything close to the tempo you are at or style, I have to wear nothing but shorts and I pour sweat after just 5-10 minutes. How are you doing this without sweating? So smooth! Showing the human side of music is also one of my favorite things to see and show. I hate that I miss notes or make mistakes, but we all come from knowing nearly nothing when we start playing, so making mistakes makes me laugh more now than feel introspective. Many of the times the human factor, mistakes, and feel that doesn't line up with traditional interpretation are what makes us us. Great playing! I'll put "Native Blood" and everything else off Dark Roots of the Earth by Testament at the top of the heap. I'm sure all of your other bands and endeavors are equally amazing, but I haven't had time to listen to them all yet.

[@kikaiashaman]

does anyone know the song Gene plays in the intro? Band, album, title?

[@benjaminyates7405]

It sounds quite Dark Angel like to me. It might be a solo song with him on guitar. He is the main songwriter in that band, along with Jim Durkin

[@michaelarlotto9405]

I don't know but I really want the answer bc it's very good ! It really sound like dark angel but i think it's a solo compo bc I get all of DA records and it's not in any of them

[@benjaminyates7405]

@@michaelarlotto9405 that’s why I think it sounds liken Dark Angel because Gene writes guitar riffs for them. I know it’s not a Dark Angel song. Gene being the humble guy he is probably decided not to credit himself for it
