Almost five straight minutes of ultra precise double kicks. Amazing performance.

[@christerolausson2702]

Supersolid!

[@TheWindrider47]

Five minutes straight but their whole set is almost 2h of 5min bursts of doublebass kicks

[@ulfhednir9908]

I'm not a drummer, but I can feel my calfs crying. These badass double bassdrums hammer like the mighty Mjöllnir.

[@benjaminvasquez5826]

Great double bass control.

[@ikenray]

I think his drumming style is perfect for Amon Amarth.

[@DrumsandOther]

Fredrik was better. Because he was the one who made this awesome drumming. Jomsviking is pretty lame drum wise

[@thqstsimon5494]

Jomsviking drums wasn't made by jocke though :)

[@kicksomeazz9669]

@@DrumsandOther actually I don't know what you mean, this performance is outstanding and fits the song

[@Davidbystr]

@@kicksomeazz9669 that's because he's playing drums that were written by Fredrik, it's not his original drum track

[@koettfaers]

@@Davidbystr yes... But does that mean hes bad?

[@hudsonbarth5641]

Playing consistent double bass that’s THAT fast for THAT long is the result of nothing but hours and hours of practice. This guys a beast and his endurance is incredible. I hope to be on his level some day

[@antondubkov]

probably hours and hours and HOURS and some more hours of practice (years basically)

[@SunnyHF-nf4bc]

@@antondubkov took me about 30-40 hours total spread out over a year to improve my double bass peak by about 20 bpm. I can only imagine how long this dude has been practicing.

Great endourance on double bass..

[@Stefanoski88]

Jocke is not joke

[@The_KJ8]

Badum tsh

[@BalajiBhaskar]

4:56 - 5:03, the muted cymbal and then the muted cymbal with double bass- that was kick ass! I dont know how common that is, but I have never seen it before. Amon Amarth has been really lucky with amazing drummers!

[@Serj9agrh]

Balaji Bhaskar Dave Lombardo would say ha -ha-ha on this 😂😂😂

[@PawelSorinsky]

That's standard stuff. Solid drumming though.

[@ronarmendariz1776]

Travis Smith former drummer of Trivium does this many times.

[@nirmalpaul13]

It's a very Paul Bostaph thing to do(It does help that they look alike). You can find it quite common in Slayer's Divine Intervention, Killing Fields to be precise.

[@Hellwyck]

It's standard in thrash and death metal.

[@metfan4l]

Dude's good.

[@omega454545]

Met him in Cleveland last May, incredible drummer and really really nice guy.

[@renatomaio3324]

This song is so much fun to play...and he's a hell of a drummer!!! Cheers from Cape Verde Islands

[@Andre232323232332323]

Everyone's praising his drumming but can we acknowledge Johan's vocals for a bit

[@Hellwyck]

Yes, on a vocal video.

[@DamageInc-nx9gu]

He’s actually what Amon Amarth needed to move forward. Technically he handles all of the material perfectly. I saw them at the TLA in Philly on the last tour and as always, they were phenomenal. I met the boys and they are very outgoing to the fans and super cool and gracious to chat with. Jocke was very reserved and seemed to be very comfortable being the ‘new’ member of Amon Amarth. Amon Amarth never ever disappoints. Looking forward to the next album and tour. See you soon boys!

[@silverballer7342]

My favourite song of Amon Amarth!

[@SuperRoo_22]

He looks like he does it effortlessly. And is enjoying himself at the same time. 👍

[@mellindrums]

My favorite Amon song!

He is the Thundergod!

How do I get good at double bass drums? Jocke: Have Viking blood

[@vagrant0693]

Geeky Metalhead he has no Viking blood , he is Chilean born

[@kerandurrant6043]

@@vagrant0693 he was born in Chile to a Chilean and a Swede. So he's half Viking.

In metal, blood and nationality don't matter, only good music! 🤘🏼

[@GG-gr2px]

Only if you attempt to play and sustain this double pedal torture for 5 minutes straight, you will appreciate the amazing endurance Jocke has, making this look like a walk in the park!

[@davesmith1855]

Yes he is the perfect person for the job.His style is very fluential and flawless,he makes it look so easy. NJ

Damn... Robot... Sick... Unbelievable..

[@nicolasguerra441]

Yeaaah 🇨🇱

[@nirmalpaul13]

Filthy solo. I mean it. Absolutely disgusting. The least they could do is play it in key. About the video, Jocke is an absolute beast!!! He's giving those demon drives a run for its own name.

[@VonArmagedda]

He can't, solo was made and played by Roope Latvala of Children of Bodom, who is much better sologuitarist

[@OverlyEpux]

@@VonArmagedda That has nothing to do with playing in key. Most of the shred stuff you can get away with if you start and end on in key notes. But some of the bends are just atrotious. They're getting it though. Saw them last week and they played a damn good solo that night I was pleasantly surprised

[@franciscohidalgo2141]

You shoul've put something he composed on the new records, the drumming is pretty good as well

[@gshaf1000]

Awesome. Can someone tell me what Sabian AAX cymbals he uses?

[@Jay-sn7wu]

Oh yes..

[@blonep]

Jocke is awesome and super solid, perfect fit for the band. I can only imagine the 1 dislike this video has is because he is not blonde ... *wondering*

[@jonravenwulf7788]

Wow....

[@RiktigeKentsson]

Awesome, too bad that the Johan butchers Roopes solo

[@lethean333]

couldn't agree more,,, that's the only thing to fall flat.

[@benthomas8765]

I had no idea roope did a guitar solo for amon amarth

[@existentialismtyrant5722]

Yeah it’s bad. The only part of the song that suck each and everytime I see them live. Don’t know why he never bothered to learn it properly

[@NickYngveSamios]

Since the album was released, he plays the EXACT SAME crappy "solo". I would prefer it if they had it pre-recorded. It would be more honest. It is even out of key.

[@janimakinen5828]

jaaaaazzzzzaaaaaaaaa😊😊😊😆

[@elidevenny6936]

He's a wicked drummer!! and those Sabian cymbals sound awesome!!

[@Januszz81]

Maybe a stupid question, but why is there a laptop on the leftside of jocke? I've seen this more by metal drummers,but I have no idea were it's for. Thanks for helping me.☺

[@Januszz81]

chickensandbeandip thank you very much, very helpfull.

[@tommybanks5307]

I'm sure you've probably found it since but bands use laptops to control backing tracks, lighting and even changing levels in their in ear systems if needed. Its generally much easier for a drummer to do this at the back of the stage

[@holgerhahn8615]

It's for some backing tracks, like the cellos on Live For The Kill and for separate click tracks for him and the band.

I`m absolutely not into all the heroic viking-themed stuff (frankly it seems quite cringy to me) but the guys are super nice and they are truly a very good live-band. This is some precise and professional shit going on here (except for the guitar solo which depends on Roope Latvala ;) ). Hats off to Amon Amarth :)

Solid drumming, god awful guitar solo

[@x7VenGeaNcE7x]

if i recall correctly he never wrote that guitar solo, it was performed by children of bodoms guitarist on the album. kinda explains why he cant play it for shit live.

[@rofln00b]

Yep I recall an AA interview where they said they called in Roope Latvala to do the solo, they gave him free reign over it so he crafted it up and recorded it in one take and the AA guys were super excited as it was a fucking amazing solo. Then only long after that they realized "oh fuck, none of us can play that live," so live they have to improvise and play it a lot simpler and easier.

[@sreynolds1]

the one on the album is great though.

[@dorispedras]

They never ever get it right live...

[@nirmalpaul13]

@@rofln00b they could at least play the solo in key 😖
