Ken Bedene of ABORTED, Machinedrum Mondays EP 6 - drum cam of Terrorvision REACTION

[@DrumlionMusic]

Since I published this I took a listen to ManiaCult and holy s*** its amazing!

[@Joose]

It really is. Their past 4 albums and their EPs have been fucking god tier.

[@DrumlionMusic]

@@Joose oh im definitely in deep dive mode now!

[@ogfdnbvjkfdn]

Ken is also a VERY capable guitarist. dude is just a monster at everything

[@azaz...]

truth, I felt hypnotised too!!

[@tigrom01]

Your reaction seemed relaxed and honest too

[@philtolfreeart]

Ken is the best death metal drummer on the planet. Watching him play is just magic.

[@REIDOPLANETA]

Man you really need to see his Dreadbringer playthrough they released a few weeks ago!

[@primaballerina84]

And on top of his insanely precise accuracy and speed he has an incredible groove to his playing that I've never heard from any other drummer in this style of music.

[@asander1383]

Ken Bedene the crocs Drumming monster! His swivel technique was clean and accurate and his technique is so good! Such a nice Drummer and nice Band. Thanks for your Reaction 🤘 I would like to suggest another good drummer for a reaction: Jason Wydau. He is crazy fast,underrated and really talented! I would suggest: " SOLAR ERUPTION - Chiaroscuro DRUM PLAYTHROUGH ". It shows what he can do. Would be great if you would look at that! Thanks man

[@DrumlionMusic]

Sounds like another solid recommendation to me!

[@Silvabulletproduction8337]

Wanna quit my job and practice drumming 24/7 after watching this guy

[@DrumlionMusic]

I know exactly what you mean!

[@da8171]

Aborted is fucking art, man! Ken and the guy's are the people of one of the coolest bands in metal music

[@DrumlionMusic]

im hoping to see them live one day for sure

[@KudCl0wn]

I had the pleasure of meeting him in 2019 before they played their set. Cool ass dude. An absolute treat to watch live.

[@DrumlionMusic]

That's awesome! I envy you

[@yattmanntatt3360]

Finally...!!!! Thanks man,really appreciate. Some of drummer wear drums shoes,Ken wear crocs. Haha!!! Things that I really likes about Ken is, instead of brutality,fast,crazy fills etc,he still can play clean. He look so relax which is I'm so impressed about it. Once again thanks man. 🔥

[@DrumlionMusic]

No problem! I enjoyed the hell out of this performance and i will definitely be checking out more by him.

[@Ironsvillage]

Gotta love some 240-250bpm swivel in crocs

[@vladkillgore8266]

Audio was 👌 What a ride that was. Holy shit. I love that tight snare sound. Like it's just a small Tom or something. Check out "Lord Marco drum cover of Nagara Ragana Nagara" for even more of that. Even faster.

[@DrumlionMusic]

Glad I was able to make some positive adjustments to the video. Thank you again for the feedback. This is why I love talking to you guys. I continue to learn ways to improve my content. And the lord Marco recommendation is going on the list ASAP!

[@bigjonnah3825]

Reaction on point!!! I've seen Ken twice and just well, you know...

[@evilervcowart6234]

Honestly I couldn't agree more with everything you said; it was pretty much verbatim what I was thinking. This guy has superb speed, impressive technique, bullseye timing (like you said, I don't think I heard a missed beat anywhere lol), endurance (shins and calves from Hell), flavor (see 4:55 ), sound, and I really like how his kit is set uo...proper double kicks with the toms mounted low (as close to the snare as possible) and the nice cymbal assortment. 🤘

[@DrumlionMusic]

Thanks my friend! This comment is a perfect summary of this video. Im straight up blown away by Ken in every aspect.

[@chrisburckhard9122]

When it comes to death metal drummers, there's 3 that are just miles above everyone else. Ken Bedene, Kevin Paradis, and Chason Westmoreland!

[@doublemarvellous5525]

You obvs haven't heard the new Nile

[@jadeannamariaocsody9253]

Nice

[@DrumlionMusic]

You think so?

[@skybreakbb6130]

Really happy I came across your channel. Very knowledgeable and well informed little things elaborated on. Honestly it's incredibly refreshing to see someone watching drummers in these genres and not just hamming up the whole "wow so fast" low hanging fruit reaction. I'd be interested to see your take on some of Aaron Stechauner's playthroughs. He's got a few videos of Rings of Saturn songs on his channel and man between his heel-toe and the fact that he's playing a 4 piece it's just...the dudes a monster. Highly recommend his Margidda playthrough.

[@DrumlionMusic]

This comment single handedly achieved the goal of keeping me inspired and motivated to make content. Thank you so much for this comment. And ill definitely be looking into your recommendation, most likely sooner rather than later because i forgot about how beastly Rings songs are! This will make for a good video. Thank you so much again and i hope you enjoy the rest of the content i have so far on the channel as well.

[@skybreakbb6130]

@@DrumlionMusic Very happy to hear it friendo. Keep up the good work. KZbin needs more musicians making content that actually know what they're talking about!

[@DrumlionMusic]

@@skybreakbb6130 thanks so much! For real.. And let me know what you think of some of the drum projects I've done as well

[@tayloralexis1504]

Bro!!!! Watching this with a cup of coffee before work!! Ready to body slam the effin day!!! Heck yeah brother 👊👊🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@DrumlionMusic]

Good. The desired effect has been reached lol

[@utterchaos3761]

It's just amazing how relaxed he is doing his stuff. No signs of stress or anything. Ken ain't human, man... no f*ckin' way. And yeah ManiaCult is a really cool album.

[@adamhenton6221]

Aborted was 1 of 5 bands that opened for Lorna Shore in their most recent tour. Saw them last month. Great band. I'll admit I'd never heard of em. But honestly all the bands that played were awesome!! Aborted was on stage before Lorna. So they really brought some heavy shit🤘

[@DrumlionMusic]

I would have absolutely LOVED to have been there!

[@zachripa4158]

I saw a interview with Ken Bedene and Krihm . I was amazed to hear him say he barely practices! This dude is barely trying . He has amazing muscle memory!

[@DrumlionMusic]

I need to find this interview because Krihm is an absolute beast too! And the fact that Ken barely practices is pure insanity. When i did the ManiaCult cover i thought my brain and my body was going to implode on itself. The fact he can play at the level he does so effortlessly is just superhuman

[@zachripa4158]

It’s about Septic Flesh and Aborted I believe it’s on the Drum Talk channel!

[@liliIiliIilil]

Dude's fuckin' nuts. Fun Fact: He wrote two EPs about Final Fantasy 7 under the band name Aerith.

[@DrumlionMusic]

Bruh for real?! Lol oh shit!

[@Manalyth]

In the sport mode camo crocs 😎☠️

[@DrumlionMusic]

For real lol! I had never seen anyone drum on those before. Especially for this type of music

[@Manalyth]

@@DrumlionMusic you should see the video from Kevin Paradis where he goes up to 280bpm in pump heels and oversized slippers 😂

[@DrumlionMusic]

@@Manalyth whaaaa! Yeah i gotta see this!

[@Manalyth]

thanks my friend!

[@ericdravenX00X]

To be honest i don't know anything about Aborted but the drummer goes machine gun style on the pedals..💀🤘

[@DrumlionMusic]

I highly recommend listening to maniacult. That song is so good

[@ericdravenX00X]

@@DrumlionMusic yeah, i'll check em out..

[@ericdravenX00X]

@@DrumlionMusic I will have to say Maniacult was pretty Sick.. Also, i thought the video was different and enjoyed seeing their views of the world thru and ridiculous absurdites in newspaper clippings..💀🤘

[@DrumlionMusic]

@@ericdravenX00X i figured you would dig it. It's a song that i easily start my gym workouts too as well.

[@Joose]

I cannot fucking wait to see them with Lorna Shore next month. 🤤🤤🤤

[@DrumlionMusic]

That's going to an insane experience!

[@Joose]

@@DrumlionMusic Yes, sir. More blast beats than Ken Bedene and Austin Archey can shake a (drum)stick at.

[@DrumlionMusic]

@@Joose lmao very well put!

[@Joose]

@@DrumlionMusic Check out their new video for "Infinite Terror" if you get a chance, man. It's so, so good.

[@sainfalln]

Right on. Right fucking on brohan. |m|

[@DrumlionMusic]

Haha i was wondering if you were going to pop in

[@MegaMidgetNinja]

I don't drum and I really want to learn his blast beat technique.

[@Hateallyall]

Awesome channel 🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@Big_Yum]

Check out Kevin Paradis from Benighted!! kzbin.info/www/bejne/aIDHk3uurbR7jZY

[@DrumlionMusic]

Will definitely have to do this! Thanks!

[@hughneutron5303]

SWIVEL SWIVEL SWIVEL SWIVEL, YEA. sorry i had to

[@asbjrnfossmo1589]

Did anyone stop to consider... This doesn't make him even sweat - What DOES, then? What makes his every bodily fluid gush? I find it difficult to believe he just effortlessly got to this point of polished technique, then went "nah, this'll do". He has tried stuff more extreme than this, and probably contemplated stuff MUCH more extreme than this.

[@DrumlionMusic]

its clear that Ken has complete mastery over the most efficient technique available for this style of music, and that his many years of practicing them has engraved them deeply into his muscle memory. so at this point playing is equivalent to walking for him.
