Lads, he's not trying to impress you with his flamadiddle prowess, he's providing artillery for a sonic assault. You're allowed to not like the blast, but don't pretend you're ever so above it.

[@SuperEvilMonkey1]

My man

[@teammarsh5657]

No one is above the blast.

[@justanotherrandomontheyout4791]

The blast rules all

[@jmetalskinz]

Lord Punchings You deserve a god damn reward for this comment sir. Educating on the ways of the blast. \m/

[@brandongarrard9675]

Preach it loud and proud

[@SBeckerDTD]

I've always had the hardest time finding videos of this guy. Such an underrated drummer.

[@bloodyknuckles63]

So if you look up my KZbin Channel search Louie Rice I have videos for almost every project he has played in over the last 10 years. Subscribe to my Channel for new videos as i shoot them.

[@macflapper4590]

Louie Rice hell yeah,i remember meetin him in charlotte nc in a little store called (common market) i think,when he played amos southend with job and no one recognized him but me and yet they claim to be fans,i had my demonocracy cd and a marker just in case lol still have it and my cd,thanks charn lol

[@macflapper4590]

Louie Rice another funny story about that day was the cashier was like "so do u play in one of those bands" hahahah lmao he deserves more respect than that

[@fuckcraigsgloves8656]

Wtf underrated?

This is so damn sick! Thanks for posting!

BRUTAL

[@jasonlewis1715]

This is the first I've seen of Jon Rice. I enjoy this crazy direction metal has taken. The drummers have really pushed metal forward and this dude is one of the best I've seen. Thank you

[@NikkiNexo777]

I'm not into this kinda music, but mad props to this dude. To play that fast with both hands and feet and keep it that tight.....well done.

[@rsaldivar8]

Dont know how many times ive seen this, never gets old.

[@kingkongkungkwang]

I'm a big fan of Inferno's creativity, but... Every once in a while, it's nice to see a drummer who doesn't just tap the drums.

[@BDyoungster1997]

Inferno used 5B's if I remember right. So imo tapping would still produce enough to cut through the wall of sound

[@kingkongkungkwang]

@@BDyoungster1997 5Bs cut through alright. I use 5Bs for medium size venues. The way he hits the drums, the sound guy has to be pretty amazing. Unless they triggered the drums ofcourse. I normally can't imagine the sound cutting through crisply unless he uses at least 2Bs.

[@BDyoungster1997]

I love watching drum vids and ive seen the cleanest of the cleanest extreme drummers but for some reason ive seen this video over probably a million times lol. Jon rice has a style i can watch all day for some reason.

[@bangbang8647]

People dont understand how hard it is to throw your arms around for over an hour. Technique is everything. On point👌🏽

[@kyleadamsdrums]

This style of drumming requires so much stamina its unreal. Honestly, this would be so stressful to play, haha.

[@Philipp.of.Swabia]

Kyle Adams there are a few drummers out there that play Very hard but still very fast , ( Jon rice ,Dominator and a few more )

[@Josh-ky8ei]

Seriously. Makes my forearms cramp up just watching drummers like this play 🤣😂

[@njmontano1625]

I know this is an old comment but foe what it's worth, it's less about stamina and more on control and technique.

[@curtiscastro5206]

Jon Rice killed it with them, he's always been a hell of a drummer. Having him back Behemoth is pretty dope.

[@АндрейМоргунов-з2ь]

my god - just recalled video with Charn soundcheking with Behemoth 10 years ago - when he was like "man, it's so HARD". now he's playing with them outstanding

[@evilaslavaticus8535]

Dudes hands are literally a blur that's amazing. Long live behemoth!!! Metal 🤘🤘😈😈

[@Victormpedott]

I'm not a big fan of metal, but no one can say this guy is a bad drummer. Gotta give him credit for playing at an enormous speed with that kind of precision.

[@kevinjfeeney77]

Most extreme metal drummers play like this... I know you said you don't like much metal but check out ViolenceUnderground's top 10 death metal drummers list... there's two parts.

[@BrianFosterdrummer]

Wow, so many haters that can't blast, so they say blasting is terrible just because they can't do it. Here's one I have heard many times "I could do that, I'm just not into that style". Heard this from guitarists more than drummers

[@creepydutchman]

Or from those who's into blastbeat so much and thinking those bands who aren't into blastbeat can't blast. And again, it mostly came from guitarists. Ok im not lying here aight... As a drummer i had that kind of conversation when i was about to fill for my friend on a small gig. Contrary to his band that play tech death metal which was way more savage compared to my doom metal band. My friend was the only guy i knew well in person on his band, and during the practice session the guitarist kinda made fun of me, saying im not a capable kinda guy to perform their angry thunderous blastbeats so i asked him if he wanted to know how my gravity blasts feels like on his forehead and he was like "ok dude, you're in". So yup i can say that they ain't gonna stop say that until you perform the gravity blast on their forehead

[@shredhead99]

Fantastic drummer! I saw him play a few weeks ago with Behemoth and he absolutely crushed it.

[@frank.l181]

Jon Rice is a amazing drummer! from Arizona, U.S.A.

[@CrookedTooth616]

Such a beast on the drums. Good for Jon! Glad to see he is still crushing it.

[@justinritter7713]

The fact that he uses X55B sticks for songs that are this fast, blows my mind. The amount of endurance he has is incredible. X55B sticks are thick and heavy.

[@laurentomori931]

How do you "not" love this? Awesome!!!

[@JasonPurcell2218]

This is a testament to Inferno. He plays these tunes like Jon plays Job songs. Seeing one of the best extreme players out there struggle is humbling to say the least. Hell of a throne to sit in.

[@klausherbert3040]

Where's the struggle?

[@shawnhuk]

Jon hits wayyyyy harder than inferno. I find inferno almost boring to watch sometimes . The velocity and speed Jon hits the toms is always impressive.

[@kevinjfeeney77]

@@shawnhuk out of all the Jon filling in for Inferno vids... Ov Fire and the Void is my top favorite...... and it appears he's become comfortable having a camera in his face by then....compared to this video and Conquer All.

[@Porcupethtonia]

I saw them on Tour and Charn put on a killer show behind the kit. At the end he threw his drumsticks and by some miracle one of them landed in my hands. So now I have his drumstick signed "Charn \m/" Thanks, Charn!

[@prod_adrian]

I have an awful lot of respect for this level of top tier drummers!! People have no fucking idea how much you have to practice to reach that level, let alone sit through a whole set!!!

[@mr_wessumz]

Jon is the man!! I always love coming back to this. watching him ‘struggle’ to sound check for them YEARS ago to come back and fill in and play miles cleaner than before just always amazes me. Dude has always been good, but he just gets better and better.

[@roguecitizen4096]

freaking AMAZING drummer!

[@chrisgray7737]

Could not ask for a better fill in for Inferno! You ROCK Jon Rice!

[@michaelneal309]

As a life long drummer and decade long Behemoth fan, I was super bummed to learn Inferno wasnt playing with Behemoth when I saw this tour...then I watched The Charn absolutely kill it. Huge shoes to fill and he did an absolutely amazing job.

[@Erix77]

This is goddamn amazing! This is how it's done! The way this music should be played. If you don't understad it, it doesn't make it bad. this takes a lot of time to get right, just because you can do fast singles, doesn't mean you can play good sounding blast beats. The feel doesn't just come from the speed, if you don't know this type of music, you don't get it, just like alot of drummers don't get Jazz, it doesn't make it bad.....

[@el_wilder8860]

GLAD to see him back playing metal... as a drummer myself I am always open to crossing genres as a player... its what makes you a better more diverse of a player imo. But style and playing wise metal is def Jon's calling.🤘🏾

[@harmonicconvergencerecords3693]

[@YodaMan-420]

its easy for some to judge and blindly say a style of music is bad, but play it yourself. theres different reasons for different styles of music. if you personally dont like the music then say what you mean, but dont proclaim that nobody should like it by saying "its bad" simply because *you* dont like it. these musicians can play more than one style of music. but what youre seeing and hearing is what theyre doing right now. its not all they can do. and its a pointless argument to say they should be doing something else. if they wanted to they would.

[@kevinjfeeney77]

Couldn't have said it any better.. fucking Yoda Man....I totally fucking 100% agree

[@hanhi]

He's fucking awesome! I salute!

[@Martin_Nemecek_21]

That's the problem of metal drummers, people don't understand them.. They don't need paradiddles and stuff like that in their style, because its easy to play... But how many drummers can play blastbeats and fast fills at tempo's like 200+ BPM ?? :) Oh, i almost forget this fucking footwork! Fast as fuck, with absolute control.. Open your eyes haters!!

[@heresjohnny999]

most extreme metal drummers come from jazz backgrounds too. most people just react to this music badly because they can't understand it. just like jazz.

[@Martin_Nemecek_21]

You're right!

[@handidrummed]

A paradiddle is easy to play? Look up videos of Tony Williams playing singles, doubles, paradiddles, so smoothly that it all sounds like one continuous roll, and then tell me you can do that and that it's easy. I won't say that blast beats and metal drumming isn't difficult, it is. I sure as hell can't do that. But to say a paradiddle or any other rudiment is "easy" is ignorance.

[@TylerHNothing]

rudiments are the techniques to express the ideas in your head. if all of your ideas can be easily expressed through fast singles, then who needs rudiments, amirite? ;)

[@monsieurbreakdown4814]

Yeah!but the thting is that blastbeat style is 90% boring to play, to Watch and to hear. Only Truth hurts
