Waltteri Väyrynen: Opeth - Paragraph 6 (§6) - drum playthrough at Rockfield Studios

[@thepot23]

would kill to see a playthrough of §4, love the drumming on the whole record...you did an incredible job honoring the band's sound while bringing your own thing to the tunes.

[@tunzv7282]

We’re all wishing they play that one in the next tour

[@baloon007]

Me too. It would be great to see drumcam from Paragraph4 !

[@timmy6468]

My personal favorite of the album. Excellent job on the drum parts, seriously makes these tracks so memorable.

[@isa.physics]

Great drummer. My guitar cover for this song👇🏻 kzbin.info/www/bejne/aaHOZmdje7tgotUsi=Rwce4JlNvzQFexr-

[@timmy6468]

@@isa.physics Damn, really great job. You're checking all the boxes: Clean playing, Gojira shirt, beautiful guitar.

[@olivierdube809]

Favorite song in a brilliant album! What a treat to have you as a drummer now!! Respect!!

[@LucSulla]

That fill at around two minutes and the transition out of it through another double bass part until you bring the whole thing into a straight four-on-the-floor is my favorite sequence of drum parts this year by far. I love the way it moves from really busy to ridiculously straight forward so smoothly that it sneaks up on you. Great composition.

[@Travreviews]

Agreed, I was already headbanging to it on my first listen, then the switch happened and I was floored lol

[@ianstewart8243]

Was reading your comment as it came to this section for the first listen through. Mint fill follows not long after that too.

[@jamesheyes2333]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="132">2:12</a> this fill is probably the highlight of the whole record for me tbh

[@bmorrison8508]

One of those fills that just makes you say , “f********ck!.

That IS one badass fill

[@REIDOPLANETA]

I'm a simple man, I see a Waltteri video, I hit like and subscribe.

[@stewiewonder2601]

Brilliant drumming, love this album - looking forward for &7, my favorite!

[@Vor_Tex_Sun]

Really great drumming. Happy you are with Opeth Walt. The new album is brilliant also

[@Drummergregvance]

Sooooo CLEAN! Opeth made a great call getting this dude. Amazing groove, powerful playing a flawless technique.

[@Ravi91371]

Wasn't sure when I'd see a "new generation" drummer for this decade that blows me away the way Mario Duplantier did the last and Danny Carey before that, but Walt just has it man. Incredible stuff

[@The_Karst]

Absolutely awesome. Thank you for sharing, Waltteri! Hyvää uutta vuotta 🤘

[@TripleFermentation]

You did a fantastic job on this album, my friend. Love what you've done.

[@Cygnus-X1]

Seriously inspiring musicianship, I love your work on this album - can’t stop listening to it! Thanks so much for sharing this insight!

[@Med___Lee]

I'm so glad this video exists, This is incredible!!

[@majorlee1]

I really like the drums on this song. I road my motorcycle 320miles on New Year’s Day with new Opeth on repeat. You are an amazing player 🤘

[@DangerDMA]

My absolute favorite song on the album. The best drum performance on the album too!

[@PhillipS5428]

All those drums chops are so buttery smooth. So good!

[@RiffMajestic]

Loved both Lopez and Axe but it's great to see Walt not only totally kicks ass, but inspired the band with some new energy. Your playing on the album rules and after listening to the record numerous times, it just keeps getting better. I think Paragraph 2 deserves more love, such an old school type song with the classic outro. Paragraph 4 might be my favorite, loving every song actually.

[@markblaauw4961]

Agree in your opinion about paragraph 2.

[@michaelsifers3581]

This was an instant favorite of mine on the album. Its just incredible to see it played through. Love your drumming.

[@hernandezcruzfreddy1926]

It's impressive how this track was the idea for the masterpiece you composed, I'm truly impressed by your versatility and those finishes that are almost unnoticeable but are there, seeing you now helps me improve my technique, thank you very much for being a teacher to me Waltteri, you're the best.😎😎

[@kol3raofficialmusic313]

Great playing as always and making it look easy! 🤘

[@stanferraro4130]

Masterful.....incredible playing and precision, very musical, ...fantastic album !!

[@LascaillesShroud]

Love the album, it's absolutely stellar, and that's in no small part thanks to your drumming. Fantastic work!

[@duffmanohyeah89]

Fantastic. So crisp. Love it

[@PurpleDreki]

Simply outstanding, young Maestro!

[@olafvonperlenmut7289]

Great! Very impressive! How precisely….big compliments, Waltteri! 👍

[@hichaelhyers]

What a beast! 🤘 Insane stuff, Walt!

[@theopinson3851]

So clean. Loved your work with Paradise Lost, this is the best playing in Opeth since Lopez left.

[@Priciloca3]

Insane! Absolutely amazing! 😍😍👏🏻 I am soooo happy to have you at Opeth!

[@matiascosentino7289]

Thanks a lot Waltteri! I'd just beg for this one in FB. And here it is, what a gem! Someday I'll be able to play this one!

[@newstuff1107]

Great performance from a great album. I am so pleased with Opeth now, the last albums are great.

[@cfyves]

Beautifully played. Love the album, and love the drumming on the album

[@MichaelNolting-cc6db]

Thanks for sharing, cooking track wow! Funny I saw a Mikael interview explaining that and the rest of the band was like sounded fine to us. Meticulous with such precision says a lot about your depth of playing.

[@harmont752]

Here. Again. Keyboard playthrough.please The whole album has an excellent playing by Joakim ❤

THAT ENDING 🔥🔥🔥

[@j10984]

Been waiting for this one! The drum intro sucked me in immediately

[@SuperBlazeomatic]

Man I was crushed when Martin (no pun intended) got the axe, but you've filled some huge shoes Walt and fit perfectly with the band while adding your own flavors. Album is fantastic and your playing is a perfect blend of power/groove and touch.

[@yattak]

Wicked, masterpiece!

[@HighSxn]

I’m gonna need the whole album please :)

[@crisdrumming]

Wow. Amazing drumming!

[@bf9616]

I need you guys to play this on the new tour, please!! My fav from the album!

Well since it is "The Last Will and Testament tour", I'm pretty sure the entire album will be played.. :D

​@@EiriUesugiKun Not sure they are going to do that... Mikel said innan interview that he doesn't like playing whole albums on tour, as he likes the fans to listen to other songs also

[@EiriUesugiKun]

@@bf9616 OK .. well then I'll join you hoping that they will play this (and §3 and §1 and and and...) :D

If there was every any doubt if Walteri could fulfill the high expectations of being Opeth new drummer - they ended up right there for good 👍🏻

Awesome!

[@markrichardson8378]

Paragraph 5 is my current favourite,but 6 is next,I am a massive axenrot fan,but valteri is a stellar replacement,he is a monster behind the kit,saw him at Hammersmith, November 2022,was so impressed,role on march 1st, Manchester..

[@JeroendeBoer]

Great job! Question: it looks like you're playing the bass doubles with a twin-kick pedal? What's the use for the left bassdrum, or do you you switch?

[@Mulukkis]

Becoming a bit of a fan of your playing. Soooooo tasty.

[@stephendragon6721]

hi to my new favourite drummer! you are awesome man

[@cenkerbekk]

You can see "God is watching over you, He will guide the way" moments during the video. Mikael is there, looking out the window.

[@ilves6664]

[@rodrigobanados9079]

THANKS FOR THIS!! Any chance you recorded anything on Paragraph 5? drums in this album are INSANE!

Walt's a monster

[@interstellarwarpdrive9600]

Jävlar vilket sväng, ståååååpäls!!

[@sejrandersen5606]

So good. Does Mikael write the drumparts? Or does Walt come up with them himself?

[@DanielGomes-m7r]

Fucking huge bass drum sound!!! Just in the face!!!👊🏽

[@GUOMENTAREVIEWS]

100/5

[@ForestCyclingAdventures]

So gutted you were in Monmouth at the Misbah and i missed you. I live a few miles away and would have loved to have met you guys. Awesome drumming as always! Are those square beaters? Never seen that before.

[@aggeloskilmisteredmandas1969]

🤘♥️🤘

[@martinakerman3485]

Yeah the ”overall sloppiness” is really obvious. I think we all can agree on that. 😂😉 Jokes aside I really enjoy these videos. 🤩

[@dangoldsmith8905]

Still trying to find this on compact disc. Anybody got an idea?

High-key got anxious with the backing track so quite and him playing so exposed

Brutal

[@juina]

He's such a machine (positive)

[@cleric670]

Sounds good, inform my idiot brain though, why are there two bass drums but the double pedal heads appear to be attached to only one of the bass drums?

[@dalebergkvist]

Herregud!
