Jazz fan reacts to SICK metal drumming by Mario Duplantier - Gojira (FRENCH band)

[@Rhu7]

They are French, hence why they opened the Paris Olympics this year

[@DrumRoast]

thank you for opening my mind to this group!! Thanks for dope info and view!!! (a METAL group opening for Olympics?? DAMN)

[@davidleach4689]

A monster drummer my favorite

[@DrumRoast]

thanks for the watch David, he's officially one of my favs now too!!!

[@volcghost]

This is what you call a true drummer. Not some instagram sensation (if you know what i mean).

[@DrumRoast]

I've been tasked to react to an Instagram sensation soon...lol thanks for the watch bro :)

@@DrumRoast El Estepario please. Speak more about your interpretation, what you see that's relative to your experience. Some quick definitions too, ghost notes, molar whip - for us noobs. Here to learn, teach! ps - came across yours after watching lots of El Estepario, Drumeo vids and then this one in particular suggested yours in the sidebar. Tribal People React to DANNY CAREY - Pneuma Drum Cam Version kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z3XHiIuXjsxkY7s YT doing its algo-magic thing I guess.

[@DrumRoast]

yes sir very excited for El Legend, MANY have requested him :))) Great questions, I LOVE them: Moeller whip - The technique uses a specific "whipping motion", that uses gravity and a dual-fulcrum motion to do the work, allowing the drummer to play faster, and louder, by staying relaxed. It has been promoted as requiring significantly less effort and carrying less risk of injury than other methods. Ghost notes - Musical notes that have a rhythmic value but no discernible pitch. They are often played quietly and quickly, and are described as being felt rather than heard. Ghost notes are used to add texture and rhythm to music, and are commonly used in jazz. thank you for the rec for Danney Carey, added that drum cam vid to my list!

@@DrumRoast Thanks for the great info!

The song is "the art of dying" from the same band try "into the storm", "esoteric surgery", "the gift of guilt" or "the heaviest matter of the universe" for crazy drum patterns, and "Born in winter" or "Low lands" for beautifull dynamics variations / ghost notes stuff

[@DrumRoast]

wow thank you so much for giving me the song rundown from a...superfan? :))))

[@J4d44i]

@@DrumRoast Superfan ? Maybe... lol. Their whole discography is amazing, depending of what youre searching for. It's always a pleasure for me to share about music ;)

[@unknowngaming1432]

I wish it was the full song, there's like 2 or 3 more sections that come after this with different patterns

[@DrumRoast]

thanks for the watch though bro!!! I found more clips of him to react to, very excited!

[@cjmpyt]

You should really watch "Nils "Dominator" Fjellström - Dark Funeral - Vobiscum Satanas (Drumcam)" you will be blown away.

Mario actually started as a jazz drummer, he was even studying at jazz school for 7 years as a kid/teenager. Then he, and his brother Joe Duplantier (they play in Gojira together, Joe is a lead singer and guitarist) discovered metal by Metallica, Black Sabbath and other legendary bands and they switched more to metal, then as late teenagers started Godzilla, later renamed as Gojira. You can actually hear a lot of jazz influence in his playing, theres a lot of odd time signature patterns, very jazz way of playing around with accents during fills, shit ton of tasty ghost notes. Very original and distinctive music, no other band sounds like Gojira and no other drummer plays like Mario. Gojira is also one of the best live bands I know of, you can check out The Gift of Guilt live at Brixton Academy, flawless performance by whole band (including sick drumming by Mario, as always)

[@DrumRoast]

holy smokes that is insane that you know so much lore about Mario, I appreciate this comment so much!! Added that Brixton show and one more drum cam vid of Mario to my reaction list!!!!

[@jez_77]

@@DrumRoast Yeah, as a drummer myself he is a true inspiration. Not only insanely talented, original and creative but also one of the most humble and hard working musicians ive ever seen, as a routine he does 3-4 hours of practice every single day with 1 hour of constant non stop double bass at 180-220bpm. And that hard work pays of cause he basically never makes any mistakes live, he is incredibly tight and accurate. Looking forward for more Mario on your channel! Another awesome and incredibly original drummer is Brann Dailor (funnily enough, his band Mastodon are best friends with Gojira and they tour together all the time, also Brann has a jazz background too), his playthrough of The Last Baron is mindblowing

[@barbados1267]

Yo even though you said your not into drum solos you should react to Mario’s drum solo “meteor” being a jazz drummer you will love it it’s not at all like the song art of dying that’s he’s playing in this video it’s 100% different

[@DrumRoast]

thank you for the rec kind sir!!! Meteor, noted :)

[@barbados1267]

@ 👍👍👍 his drum solo armor is my favorite maybe if you end up doing Mario again with how short the solos are maybe you can do both there is a lot to talk about so so much stuff that he does in those solos!!

[@nathanaelbatteux1361]

definitely check out Chris turner, he plays for a band called Oceans ate Alaska, but he has a solo project too he's genuinely insane

[@DrumRoast]

man I am slowly getting deeper into the hole of intense metal drumming...I knew at some point someone would've recommended Chris Turner...added to my list, man I am legit excited...thank you for enabling me Nathanael!!!

[@nathanaelbatteux1361]

@ Chris is legit one of my favourite drummers, seen him live with his band and it’s mind blowing how good he is

[@ericandrieux2614]

Ils sont Français. Et ils sont Bons

[@DrumRoast]

désolé, j'étais vraiment ignorant dans cette réaction :) merci de l'avoir signalé frérot

[@SarahCharles92]

One of my favourite drumming videos on KZbin is the video of Luke Holland (a great drummer) playing Mikasa simultaneously with Sam Applebaum (the actual drummer from Veil of Maya). It is so fun to watch. It could be enjoyable for you to watch and react to, too.

[@DrumRoast]

thank you so much for the watch and rec!! Added to my list :)))

[@josephm6320]

He has alot of more videos

[@DrumRoast]

thanks for watching bro I'm excited to react to them :)
