Viscera - Sungazer - Drum Cover

First of all, huge thanks for 10k views on my previous video of Toxin, makes me really happy to see all your comments and I appreciate the support!
Viscera released this banger of a track a few months back, I really felt that I wanted to cover it as soon I heard it, but I knew that the blast section during the chorus would be way to difficult for me (since I don't practise that often nowadays around 260bpm). However lately have I wanted to get "back in shape" with my metal drumming and I've been focusing a lot working my stamina, hand and foot technique. This is 100% the most difficult cover I've done this year and it sure boosted my confident that I still can play like this. I really hope you guys will have a blast watching it!
As always is this a one-take recording, mix by Douglas Hammarstam.
If you have any questions just let me know! I try to answer all the comments I see!

Not gonna lie... I thought it was the Adam Neely band Sungazer... Then I heard the song and I was like... "This isnt jazz fusion"

[@KholmDrums]

Hahahaha sorry bro

[@The_KlaVra]

@@KholmDrums No worries, still was a SOLID AND KICKASS cover.. Also, Orphan released that full album... Any chances we get SBC/Canary/Mag Dump/Interlude on the channel?

[@mathiasbertrand371]

@Blake Childers 🤣🤣

[@grimecube]

Lmao I just got confused like this but in reverse the other day, had Drunk by Sungazer pop up on my homepage and after clicking it I went "wait a minute, this isn't Viscera".

[@Ksilence]

In my opinion one of the best metal drummers I see on youtube! Love the fact that you stay true to the genre and are not playing popular songs for views. I am even discovering new bands, what is better than that 🤘 Great perfomance again. Thank you so much!

[@KholmDrums]

Huge words right there my man, makes me really happy to hear that! Thank you sao much!

[@BirdmanExe]

Absolutely incredible. Great stuff, Adam!

[@KholmDrums]

Huuuge thanks my duuuude!

[@Conundrums._]

Weird you say that, Mr Archspire. Both of y’all are infinitely better than me, and y’all pump out amazing content.

[@aboortedlastname9279]

This sub 40k subscribers tells me, the KZbin algorithm doesn't work .. honestly, in my opinion , Adam is one of the most powerfully clean drummers on this platform. Using his shoulders to his wrists to make sure the snare is heard not, just some finger flipping wrist roll ..damn son ..and the perfect hair,..mean c'mon ..

[@KholmDrums]

It's all about the haaair man! Nah but for real thank you so much, makes me really happy to hear this from you buddy! KZbin haven't been that nice to my lately when it comes to the views, hopefully that turns soon or later...!

[@bobbymorris525]

I loved that edit trick with the double kick burst at 4:12 nice touch! 👌🏻🔥🥁

This makes me really happy to hear, thank you so much bud.

[@oskarwroniewicz]

This was SUPER impressive. I'm a guitarist and every time I see a drum performance like this I'm in awe of the skill, coordination and stamina metal drummers have to have. Hats off

[@KholmDrums]

Thank you so kindly man! Was quite an experience to perform this track among others songs with the band last year haha!

[@DissYraiN]

YUSSSSS this means a new Viscera album soon. Flawless playthrough by the way.

[@KholmDrums]

Hopefully! They released this with another song as an EP in April, we keep our fingers crossed! Thank you so much buddy!

[@znogoud4009]

MY GOD man you're the beast, these bursts are unbelievable!🔥🔥🔥

[@KholmDrums]

Thanks dude! As a single stroke players were those sure challenging haha!

[@jrodtr]

Freakin dope! I was the drummer in a rock band called Taproot - nothing like this but this is sweet! Definitely gonna check out more of your stuff and Viscera. - Jarrod Montague

Amazing cover I’m buzzing for their new album when it comes out 🤘🏻

[@williamtuma928]

Can’t remember if I commented already… but truly UNBELIEVABLE. To have that control and to hit with the power AND to have perfect timing… is not possible. SOMETHING you’re doing shouldn’t be perfect… but it all is. Truly truly unreal. Thank you for sharing.

[@johnnygotgrowls]

The Champ is here 💪🏆 Amazing as per usual king!

[@KholmDrums]

Huge Thanks Jooooohnny! I really appreciate it! Saw that you guys will play at Highfive Winterfest January next year, I'll try to be there then!

I was literally just watching your Immersed in Ire cover, and this has proven to me just how much harder this song is- I feel so bad for your poor bass drum! Great cover dude 🤘🏼

Such an excellent range of motion on your swivel, looks almost exaggerated. Powerful and clean

[@KholmDrums]

Thanks! Exaggerated, maybe, but I use a lot of momentum just to get that power for my hits!

This song is really a fucking banger. This band is going to my playlist, thank you. Then, your cover was perfectly done, as always amazing work on your side. You really blast one way with your performance. Especially at this speed, holy hell. Oh and to add, you are a huge inspiration. Keeps one motivated to keep reaching for the stars. But one question: 2:58 This sounded fucking insane. What was that? I played those 3 seconds over 10 times and i still cannot comprehend.

[@KholmDrums]

They are awesome man, give them tons of listening! Thank you so kindly for the nice words bud, just as much I get inspired from other drummers is it nice to hear I can inspire someone else, that's what music is a lot about imo. Oh it's basically a unisont fill with 16th notes both for the hands and feet! The doubles makes it looks more difficult than what it actually is, but I had some trouble with my balance when I tried it with single strokes for the hands haha!
