Gospel Drummer REACTS to Nils "Dominator" Fjellström - Dark Funeral - Vobiscum Satanas (Drumcam)

[@aMessIam1]

Grew up with this dude. His secret in practice is he was doing it every day for many hours and probably still do. You could hear his drums blasting all the time on the little island we lived on.

[@shanegriffin2215]

Their music is, without a doubt, very dark and angry. However, there is no question that Nils is a fantastic drummer. The time and effort he must have put in to be able to play that clean at those speeds is admirable.

[@MitchHirami]

Perfect how you reacted just to his performance, really good and professional video! Keep it up mate, greetings from germany! :-)

[@mattvanelli817]

The technique is called "Black Metal". :) Had the chance to see him live with 1349 at a smallish venue here. 15 feet away from him. He was shrouded in dark mostly. You just got glimpses of the sticks flickering in the colored light. The sound of power and speed coming from the void of light on stage was wicked. Never lost speed or precision; In fact, his hits only got stronger and more precise. It was amazing. Dude was a machine. Most impressive drummer I've ever witnessed in a live setting. Imagine your awe when you first paused this video, except you don't get to pause a live show. Relentless.

I really want to see your reaction to Spencer Prewett of Archspire now. Similarly fast (if not faster, their music is way faster than Dark Funeral) but with a very different style. And about the costumes and makeup, it's pretty standard in black metal.

He talks about his practice regimen over on Marthyn's Drum Technique Academy channel. The super in-depth video as well very well produced. He is definitely one of the best of many fantastic drummers of his kind. A household name in the extreme music community. That being said I really enjoyed your reaction. You have great content as well sir

kzbin.info/www/bejne/ioimhniMbZWZZsU Here is a link to one of the shorter videos. There's a longer one that more in depth but honestly, my drum teacher is a gospel drummer and I think if you can do that style the extreme metal isn't too much different I mean it's basically just drum shedding in a lot of ways right?

[@myfaceismyshield5963]

[@Kerosian1]

Pretty much all fingers. You do get a little bit of a moeller type whip but its lower down, coming from your wrists instead of your arm. Key is to train each finger individually, and stay relaxed while doing it. Once you get the technique behind it, it feels like doing doubles, just continuously. So 16ths end up feeling like eighths.

[@Alrekrdwarf]

It's a technique where you kind of pinch the stick between the thumb and forefinger as a pivot point and you flick the stick up with the 3 other finegsr and when you have the pivot right, and flick with the right force, the snare bounces it back those 3 fingers. that, over and over, really fast xD. It's essentially the same beat as the 1 at 1:13, just twice the speed. You'll end up alternating your kick beats with your double kick when it starts getting fast. I used to start slower and speed up, before I cracked it :)

This type of music developed as a reaction to mainstream metal. Mainstream metal in the late 80's and early 90's was over produced and meant to sell to the masses.

[@atreurniet]

I am amazed to watch this vid of a reaction from a ‘gospel drummer’ and literally hear no real reaction about the techniques or skills of The Dominator. The only thing coming close to a real reaction was that you DON’T know the technique he is using for his blast beats. For the rest a lot of ‘oh!’ energy ‘ah!’ which ANYONE can do, drummer or not. Do at least some research: comparing it with KISS!!?? Really? Because of the ‘costume thing’!? This is some authentic highly technical Norwegian black metal. You can reject it for its openly Satanistic themes or not. But not even a word about it, so the ‘gospel’ part in the title of this music reaction has really no added value
