One of the best songs ever written, simply because Nicolas Barker wrote the drum parts... Legend!

[@LordOfSweden]

Sad that Nick Barker went on to play in a bunch of sh1t bands :p He was made to play symphonic black metal.

[@h1n1worm]

nah..this song is perfection in every component. riff, drums, composition, construction, solo... everything.

[@ChevyLewis-sb2yo]

It takes bigger balls to hide behind a fake sample? Hahahahha .. Right. No, it obviously takes far bigger balls to actually play your own drum kit and have everybody hear exactly how it sounds, no pretending.

[@Woobuz]

How about you all enjoy this playthrough, instead of acting like total assholes and pointing out who is better and who is worse? Playing drums requires a lot of work and both of them prove it. Using triggers, not using triggers - who cares? It's their personal choice and they feel better with that.

This isn't Nick

[@tm_drummer]

@@dcmastermindfirst9418 No, it's not. Daray has been with them for quite some time now, but I'm sure the point of the comment was about Barker playing the drums on the album this song was on and actually writing and recording the original drum parts for this beauty of a song. And while watching Daray in this video (especially the last and best part from 6:47) , I couldn't help thinking I would have liked to see Barker do a drum playthrough of this :/

[@ricklieffering241]

Been listening to this album again for the past two weeks. Remains a masterpiece. Very solid cover by Daray. Nice how he really tries to play Nick's parts. The little accents which makes Nick's parts so timeless.

[@NilsFjandannsson]

One of the best songs ever, perfectly executed. Amazing performance.

7:21 the face of having to fill those giant footsteps Nick left to him. Fantastic job on indeed doing so!

[@horvathbence4582]

Love the sound of the snare.

[@fcamiola]

I really don't. Its not terrible by any means but I like a bit more "snap" and attack, whereas this seems to have an overall warmth and smoother attack. Ax from Opeth used to have a very similar sounding snare in the more recent era of live Opeth, whereas Lopez always had that very direct, bright, snappy snare. Just imo. This guy is a monster drummer for sure, regardless!

[@Nefville]

I didn't realize how powerful Daray's blastbeats are. Holy crap this man hits hard!

[@tborke]

Daray is a BEAST! Following up on Nicholas Barkers drumming is a true challenge and Daray did an excellent job!

[@michaelmdrummer]

Saw him with Vader in 2007 and even back then he was a fucking beast. Then in 2009 I got the chance to talk to him at the music fair in Frankfurt and yeah hes a super cool and humble dude. Well deserverd that hes getting more and more recognition!!!🤟🙂

[@Vorgaloth]

I'm lucky to have watched Nick Barker play this song live in 2001 when Dimmu was still good. His amazing work in Cradle of Filth, Dimmu and Old Man's Child inspired a generation of drummers, myself included. Daray doesn't play all of Nick's parts right but did a good job. Nothing against Meinl cymbals but the Paistes that Nick used make a big difference. Dimensions 24" Mega Power Bell Ride, 13" Signature Power Hi-Hats, 2002 Power Crashes, Splashes and Novo Chinas.

[@ericwilliams538]

Yes, I saw Dimmu in Cincinnati Ohio probably right around the same year. Nick Barker was on drums at the time. This was back when, like you said, they were good. I haven't listened to them in well over 15 years now.

[@Vorgaloth]

​@@ericwilliams538 Same. Enthrone Darkness is Dimmu's best, IMO. Puritanical was as far as I went. Their last good album, I'd say. I didn't like Shagrath's change in vocals nor the industrial elements. I like some industrial music but not for Dimmu. Nick's drumming is half the reason I like the album. Mustis is great but I still prefer Stian Aarstad's more simplistic and catchy style. Did you know they remixed and remastered it? There was no need for it. They killed Nick's drums and put them in the background. No personality. I'm sure Nick will be pissed. Buncha dumbasses. If anything needs a remix, it's Stormblast and Spiritual Black Dimensions.

[@InvokatorMartyrii]

I agree on the cymbal choise.

[@risinglikeaswarm]

Dimensions were one of the best... man when I switched from Zildjian to Paiste, my whole sound changed.

[@konspiracybeats]

​@@Vorgaloth I heard all the remix/remaster and they sound like shit. comparing to the originals, the originals sound WAAAAY better with much wider sound, and better mixing in my opinion

[@WeAreTheUniverse78]

That blastbeat sound is one of the best i have ever heard 🔥🎧

[@Vorgaloth]

Listen to the man who wrote the drums to this song/album, Nick Barker, who is one of the all-time greats. His drums sound better. Stupid Dummy Burger remixed the album and killed Nick's drums so listen to the original.

Song of my youth.Great sound!!

[@boydkronberg2632]

I’ve had the honor of watching 3 different drummers play this live and by far nick barker is still the reason why I learned blast beats \m/

[@O8SOL3TE]

Who were they?

[@boydkronberg2632]

@@O8SOL3TE nick barker, tony Lareano (played drums for nile not sure I spelled his last name right) and the man in the video daray

[@O8SOL3TE]

@@boydkronberg2632 Okay, I was hoping you'd seen them live with Hellhammer behind the kit, because I think he has the unpleasant tendency to not play the drum parts as they were originally written, even his own stuff. He freestyles too much, I was wondering if he did that too with Dimmu. There's a Tony Laureano interview on youtube where the interviewer asks him how much room there is for improv during a live performance with Dimmu, and Tony said that the band is okay with the drummer coming up with his own stuff, as long as it's always the same on every show. And he added that before he joined the band as a live drummer, the guy they had before would play something different every night and it would kinda confuse the rest of the musicians and decrease the quality of the live performance. But I don't know if he was talking about HH or that other session guy they had at one point, Killrich or whatever his name is.

[@mr_wessumz]

Never thought I'd see the day of an HD current day playthrough of this song. This is a glorious day. Daray has proven himself LONG ago that he's worthy of that drum chair. His version of this absolutely kicks ass.

[@andreatarsi1379]

Great interpretation of great Barker's masterpiece! Bravo!

[@daerthan]

Much respect for playing one of my all time favourite metal songs so cleanly!

[@gnooyplay]

So focused, so much effort, so perfectly performed... Daray, you are a great man. Nice clear but heavy drums sound btw.

[@aeanominae]

Definitely one of the tougher tunes to play from Puritanical and he did an excellent job. The natural sounding kit is very different from how Nicholas Barker's drums sounded on the original recording, interesting hearing the difference. Well done!

[@MaskedRiderChris]

Agreed. Barker relies too much on the triggers, I find, for my taste. Sounds like his kick drums are triggered and not much else, here? You can tell he's not relying on the triggers, especially on the blast beats; he's really beating that snare but good. This dude is fantastic!

[@CrusherMKT]

Try the new remastered version. A whole new drum sound

[@BW_Drums]

@@MaskedRiderChris I could be wrong, but I don't think Daray's kick drums are triggered here. Possible there might be a trigger supporting it, but it sounds like a natural kick drum sound.

[@MaskedRiderChris]

@@BW_Drums Educated guess on my end is that perhaps there are room mics picking up the natural kick drum sound as well as them being supported/enhanced by triggers. In which case, he's even more amazing than I thought he was, either way. I think we can still agree he's a fantastic drummer. :)

[@TheWizard706]

It’s natural and perfect in every way. 🖤

[@michaelnissen4322]

There is a long way to perfection, this is a mediocre performance imao

[@thepredator666qc4]

awww the golden years of dimmu borgir ;)

[@NilsFjandannsson]

I don't know what to say. I adore Barker's drumming, and ever since he left, no drummer seemed to get the right "touch" for the songs to me - including Daray when I first saw him. Now he performs a 1:1 copy of what Barker used to play, and it sounds amazing. Especially the splash / bell accents give me a nostalgic kick in the chest, just as mesmerizing as 20 years ago.

[@OsmonArtist]

I know right, the hits are very similar, I love it when drummers respect the original composition.

[@asbjrnfossmo1589]

Yup. You make very, very good points. I would make them myself, but didn't even have to scroll very far down the comments.

[@meowmoooink4225]

Samus still has the best cover of this song. He's a big Nick Barker fanboy and emulates his drumming very well.

[@NilsFjandannsson]

@@meowmoooink4225 Strongly disagree. Not to shit on Samus completely, but he doesn't even come close to the feeling that is needed for this song. It's like playing a harp with a roto drill. Technical drummer, but not exactly a man of restraint.

[@meowmoooink4225]

@@NilsFjandannsson Not sure what "feeling" you're talking about. I guess his whole kit being triggered could be part of it, but so was Nick Barker's on the album. In fact, Nick even praised him in interviews and in a comment on another one of his Dimmu Borgir covers.

[@chestbuster1987]

The drums sound so good. You did this classic justice!

[@davidalarcon6541]

On all metal records now drums are "pro tooled" ... But when you listen to that beautiful natural sound, wooowww !! Why bands do not come back to acoustic sound?
