Ne Obliviscaris - Equus - Drum Cam - Live Hellfest 2024 - KEVIN PARADIS

[@kevinparadisdrummer]

It is now the end of what has been 14 month behind the kit with Ne Obliviscaris with 68 gigs across Europe, North America and Australia. Indeed, after Hellfest, the band has informed me that they will welcome back Dan Presland behind the kit. I want to thank the band for the opportunity of serving their beautiful music live during these successful tours and festivals, an opportunity that gave me even more will and passion for my job. It was an amazing experience that came to me unexpectedly. I gave it my best shot, and I hope I was able to serve the music well during all these amazing shows. I understand the band decision, albeit It wasn’t without any sad feelings that I said goodbye to the band in the very same airport we meet for the first time back in May 2023, at Helsinki. I remain as motivated as ever to give my best to Benighted and for any opportunity that might comes to me. OFFICIAL STATEMENT FROM NE OBLIVISCARIS : “First of all, we just wanted to thank @kevin_paradis_drumming who has done a wonderful job over the last 14 months as the band’s live drummer on our EXUL world tour. Kevin has been part of some of our best ever tours and we are grateful for his contribution in creating so many special moments performing as a band during this time. Reuniting with @dan__presland on drums was not something we had in mind until quite recently. But after 3 years apart, and a rekindled friendship, the lure of performing both ‘Citadel’ and ‘Exul’ albums in full with Dan behind the kit is something we are incredibly excited about. This exciting news, combined with our just completed European summer festival tour, the amazing new Mark Lewis re-master of ‘Citadel’ on the horizon (out Aug 16) - which sounds simply incredible- & our first ever tour through South America this November, sets up an amazing second half of 2024 for the band. We can’t wait to share this updated version of Citadel with you & see you on the road!"

Possibly the best sounding live tom sound ever. Great job Kevin!

[@kevinparadisdrummer]

Thanks ! I love this Pearl Kit with Evans Drumhead and my Signature T-Cymbals, dream set up !

[@blask83]

The cymbals are amazing too! The snare is amazing sounding too! Very well done! Much praise!

[@kadgeanddrum2304]

@@kevinparadisdrummeris that a china hat on the right ? Never saw that before. Did you just used a china cymbal as a top hat or is it a China Hat like does it exist or you just assembled it ?

[@Coastfog]

You are so ridiculously good. Seeing this in contrast to the Archspire auditions, through which I really saw you play for the first time, gives so much context to your skills. Can't wait for what's to come from you, and to learn from studying your playing. No, you can't bill that as lessons.

[@hereticpoltergeist1]

one of the most underrated drummers, this was sick! Killed it dude! Had to come back to say that snare sounds sooo freaking good!

[@DissYraiN]

I'd say unknown... not underrated!

[@craigstrickland1572]

Killer set and awesome drumming. You are phenomenal at every aspect of drumming that you put your mind to!

[@kevinparadisdrummer]

Thanks !

[@adamfriml2149]

Wow, that final double bass...You held it for so long. Just incredible job man! Rock on and peace 🤘

[@Erix77]

That's some precise drumming right there! Damn! Killer job, sir👊🏻

[@GabrielFrade-c5u]

Je suis scotché par la qualité du son du set. Quant au niveau du jeu, ça défie l'entendement... Incroyable

[@ShrkBiT]

So goddamn clean!!! Amazing work!

Kevin, comment te dire que tu es une énorme influence pour pleins d’autres batteurs et que ton jeu est tout simplement génial à regarder 🤩🤩🤩

I just watched your first video of this song from like a year ago. And now im watching this one. Its interesting to see the way your interpretation of this song has developed over time. Great stuff.

[@jamieplatt333]

It's been a pleasure to see you with the band, much love for you playing over these tours ♡♡♡♡ keep up your insane talent man 🤘🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@redcliffeshufflecore]

What an absolute weapon of a drummer

[@monsieurbreakdown4814]

I'll be honest, I'm happy about Presland return, it was the right decision, he's a huge part of NeO identity. But man you did better than any drummer could've possibly done, and thanks for it.

[@Balliatiiviska]

wow, I didn't know you were touring with them! 😮 You would had fit perfecty 👌

[@kevinparadisdrummer]

Thanks !

[@oleksandrkolomiiets4052]

I remember thinking "who tf is gonna play those drum parts" when I saw that they are on tour. Now I know. Incredible performance.

[@pugmonzzz]

You did phenomenally playing for NeO Kevin! I got to see you in Vancouver last year and It was one of the best shows I've ever gone to!

[@SFUPodcast]

We need more of these live drum cam videos!

[@TheDartpil]

Must be the best drum cam i have ever seen😳 cant believe the amazing sound 🤘🤘

[@kevinparadisdrummer]

Well stay tuned, I have more drum cam coming soon...

Absolutely amazing performance 🤘🏻❤️

[@AugustBurnsSam]

Such an awesome opportunity you had. I saw y'all perform in Denver back in October and it was probably my favorite concert I've been to. I hope something equally epic comes along for you soon, you absolutely kill it behind the kit.

[@Mario_BR.]

An amazing performance!! Wish you the best Man. Equus...first song on the set list, played impecable and we see you enjoying and adding you´re touch to the song. Mad respect to you and Dan.

[@pieuche213]

Rien à redire: un monstre en studio, un monstre sur youtube, un monstre en live. Juste fabuleux... Merci pour toutes ces émotions Kevin🤩

[@kevinparadisdrummer]

Merci !

[@DrBlastianB]

Extremely nice drum sound live! How can one praise the cleanliness of the live playing? I don't know, but haven't seen that often ... You were the perfect fit for the replacement definitely!!! Keep up the insanely good work!

[@kevinparadisdrummer]

Thanks a lot !

[@camoranbg]

Saw you at John Smith festival in Finland, I was blown away by your playing. 10/10 gig!

[@DaveFromVh1]

Such precision!! Amazing performances!

Oh! That push pull blast! :o

[@tommyc8517]

Kevin never ceases to amaze me.

[@arnaud9370]

J'y était ! un set trop court à mon gout ! un final incroyable... j'ai découvert Kévin sur la chaine French Grip Chanel... Merci pour cette vidéo !!!!

[@mattwallE]

Glad i got to see you in Toronto with NeO, wish you the best on whatever you decide to do next !

[@killrustoleyum5177]

Kevin how do you remember so many intricacies with all the music for bands you've played with. I'm thinking your not really from this planet.... it's not possible. Always a Fan.

[@bmac4]

Saw you last fall on the NA tour for NeO. Bout gave myself whiplash headbanging to the final song of the set. Might not be performing for them anymore but you made a fan of me of your drumming nonetheless as a fellow drummer!

[@danielmurray5326]

Both Kevin and the original drummer are fantastic drummers

[@davidalejandrez8620]

great video, great sound and perfect execution. Congratulations on a job of 10.

WoW Kevin 🎉absolutely incredible work. Flawless performance. Did you even break a sweat 😂. Sad to see you leave NeO. Looking forward to your next adventure ❤ 🕊️ ✌🏾

[@kevinfrancais27]

Wow ce groove et cette vitesse en même temps 😳 j'aurais trop voulu venir au Hellfest cette année !

[@sauxstall]

the precision and accuracy of this drumming performance is enthralling and beyond my comprehension. reminiscent of david diepold and tobias schuler... two further instances of my most fav drummers!

[@The_KlaVra]

There was only one man that could replace Dan Presland and it was you, you did an outstanding job, Ne Obliviscaris drum parts are fucking complicated and really fucking fast at times. Sad to see you go but Dan is back so we are back in business. Best of luck of what you go next to do.

[@victorsantana5060]

He can play in any band

[@fleatactical7390]

"I gave it my best shot, and I hope I was able to serve the music well during all these amazing shows." Bien oui, mec! Bien sur! You're being "replaced" by the original drummer. Glad you had the chance to play with this dynamic band. You deserved the spot and you did it perfectly.

Can't wait to see them in Budapest.

Bonjour Kevin, excellente prestation comme d'habitude 🤘. J'aimerais beaucoup acheter tes baguettes signatures que j'ai vu sur une ancienne vidéo. Je ne les trouve pas sur le net ☹. J'adore ton travail 🥁 Edit: J'ai trouvé j'avais pas vu le lien désolé

[@Trav84]

The only thing more epic than those double kick patterns was the dryness of that snare. Like the Sahara desert. 😍

[@kevinparadisdrummer]

Thanks a lot, I love this Pearl Ultracast !

[@harrydigital9073]

[@schmuckford]

I got to see you with NeO in Dallas, TX here in the US and you did fantastic! Was an honor to meet you and the band afterwards, not only are you an amazing drummer (one of the few humans on the planet that could do this music justice behind the kit IMO) but you're also a kind and humble person. I hope to see you play in the states again regardless of who you're playing with!

If there will be on the same stage Vegard Sverre Tveitan - Ihsahn and Kevin Paradis - then they won't understand who plays the guitar and who plays the drums
