Amazing! I’m a professional guitar player that only watches drumming videos because I enjoy seeing the guys That I play with. I really don’t care about guitar stuff. I really enjoyed the video and super appreciate the technique your dedication. I’m forwarding your info to my son right now who is a drummer. Thanks

I’m with Estepario on this one! Very inspiring. Amazing stuff. Huge discipline.

[@SighterFilm]

I'm no drummer, but I follow you because of your passion for the instrument, the playing, the drummers... And the fact that you share not only your talent and knowledge, but also you make us discover other masters of this magnificent instrument that is the drum... Respect Brother!

I’ve heard of him for a few years never seen him play! St. Vinnie and Bonom are smiling down!

[@sarokh666]

100% agree

[@DOOM.SLAYER666]

What do you mean finally? 66samus has done a video of him 2years ago, Craig Reynolds did a video of him 3years ago and Andrew Rooney did a video of him 3years ago too and most metal drummers have known bout David for years. He has been a well recognized drummer for a long time among the metal scene just as Derek Roddy ,Pete Sandoval George Kollias, Inferno,Lord Marco, and John Longstreth are well known phenomenal drummers in the metal universe. Edit. It's just everyday people don't give a fuck really

[@totenkult]

David Diepold is easily one of the best metal drummers in the world. Shame the song he is playing isn't getting the recognition it deserves (Dead Set on Suicide by Cattle Decapitation)

[@Oryyyt]

Yeah now I'm convinced. That was just not humanly possible

[@totenkult]

@@Oryyyt I mean it is possible, he played it lol! Also check out Dave McGraw who wrote those drum parts

[@danielmantell3084]

I think the problem is you need a certain level of drum knowledge to even understand how good it is. Like I play drums a bit, but I had no idea what he was pointing out half the time. I know what the words mean, but my ears and brain can't keep up. I'm busy trying to get my 8th note double bass kicks not to sound like ass, how could I possibly understand the complexity of the gods.

[@alexbliss9353]

He's playing a cover is probably why it's not more popular.

[@MrMango331]

If it were shame, might wanna add the song name to the comment?

[@BaerndXP]

He's one of my favourites. Only criticism I see is that live (with Obscura) his snare is drowning while blasting because the sound guy has to level it to rimshots. Apart from that, he's technically perfect. Doesn't get any better than that.

[@leonemfrag3826]

Maaaaan I didn't even know he was playing with Obscura. Not that surprising thinking about it. I only knew about Hannes Grossmann but didn't keep up after he left.

[@chiefindisguise]

Diepold is a Machine, one of my favorite TechDeathMetal drummers. His cover of the Nile “The inevitable degradation of flesh”and John Longstreth “Saligia” are insane examples of technical drumming, masterclasses.

[@FotherMucker00]

*where did he cover Origin's Saligia?*

[@jeffwoolsey6926]

@@FotherMucker00 He's saying John Longstreth's playthrough is nuts. It's on the Meinl channel.

[@HyBriDa2O]

His play through of Kingborn is phenomenal. Been watching David for over 7 years now - he is amazing

[@hopefulmonsters]

11:48 NOT A SINGLE F**KING FLAM! This is the most impressive part of the video. What a machine!

[@MichaelGrubbEvolvedMinistry]

And is there something wrong with flams that I am unaware of?

[@hopefulmonsters]

@@MichaelGrubbEvolvedMinistry no, absolutely not if you want them to be there. But in the mentioned fill, hands and feet are in perfect sync. you don't hear any (unintended) flam and that is a sign of mastery, because at that speed it's very hard to play 'unisono' without having little timing issues, which would cause an unintended flam between feet and hands.

[@jadedbreadncircus9159]

Holy shit I know about Diepold. He was doing straight blasts with his fingers without breaking a sweat, & he had to switch to push pull because of injuries from so much practice for upkeep, & also time & life getting in the way. Of course push pull takes a long time to develop at that speed, but it seems like the most long term least stressful technique for blasting. You should also check out the psycho from Ophidian I. I can't remember his name, but he looks like his push pull is some sort of laser precision science experiment.

[@frvandepavert]

You should see a video from Dan Presland. He was the drummer for Ne Obliviscaris. Check out the studio drumcam for “ And Plague Flowers the Kaleidoscope”. This guy is insane

[@satricon]

Soz, its boring af :'S

[@samfarrell6509]

NeO are my favorite band in the world by a LONG shot, and I've met Dan several times, but with respect to his talent, he is nowhere *near* this level.

[@foreverunsaved6661]

Dan Presland sounds like an actual drummer. This guy in this video is soon to join Lord Marko on a list of drummers getting exposed. Take away this man's triggers, samples, and electronics, and let's see what he is made of - 100% not impressed in the least with this man. Mr. Presland, on the other hand, is looking at a much brighter future than this subject. Sure, he may, or may not, use triggers on his kicks, but it becomes quickly apparent that he doesn't need them. This guy though, if he was to play an unmiked set, his weaknesses would quickly get exposed.

[@Demonstealer]

David Diepold is not just an amazing drummer but he's also an extremely humble and all round nice guy. I had the pleasure to work with him on 2 songs for my solo project and 2 songs with my band and it was like a dream come true. Been watching his videos for years. Also got to meet him in person and watch him fill in for Benighted on the drums at Brutal Assault in 2015. What an absolute LEGEND!

[@drummerw17]

Excellent video. The posture he has touching everything is what, in my personal opinion, has helped him do such an excellent job. The cuts in the Crash cymbal are masterful. The stops he makes and then continue with the blast beat are on another level. The most amazing thing about the video is how happy and relaxed he is in carrying out this great job.👊🤙🥁🤙👊

[@Zed-gb4zf]

Diepold is just the best drummer I’ve seen. It is so clean and precise. Absolutely beautiful playing style

I just recommended someone on another channel who watched Spencer Prewett Lucid Collective's playthrough to watch this. I discovered Cattle around 2013 and I've been showing this to a lot of my friends in the last 10 years. And just realised it actually came out 10 years ago. The switching always amazed me, as it seems to amaze you too. Glad you know about it and are showing it on your channel.

[@therealcyberius]

You're are a f*cking legend mate! Thanks for bringing attention to this amazing drummer. His economy of movement while playing this insane sh*t is crazy!

Have you ever seen Nick Yacyshyn's drum cam from Baptist live at Rain City? It's one of the most impressive drum performance that I've ever seen, not just the execution, but the joy that he shows while playing is just the best, when I need to lift me up I watch that drum cam, lol

[@stupidocanerosa]

High cymbals ready for the bat-move... hmmm... I gotta suspect... Well I was wrong... Sugarfoot was my first pick.

[@WordToMomsYo]

Based solely on the position of his cymbals and his arms, my initial thought was Sugarfoot... But I gave it some thought, and figured Sugarfoot isn't exactly the best candidate for "most underrated" -- he's had a very successful professional career and is widely respected by his peers and cohorts for his mastery of drumming fundamentals combined with his inimitable, signature energy and flair. I then probably spent no more than another six or seven seconds going through my admittedly dusty and chewed up mental Rolodex before resigning to the fact that I probably had no idea who this mystery drummer was. So I clicked, and was thus introduced to someone I had previously never heard of, and, well, yeah... This dude is impressive. Ambidextrous, gorgeous balance of precision, speed and power, a creative impulse that helps him differentiate and distinguish his playing style in a field otherwise littered with drummers who seemingly strive to sound like each other (that might be more of a dig at metal than at the individual drummers, but they play a part in it too), and a clear understanding of the inherent value of dynamics and how to leverage subtle variation to make the most of every note/phrase/etc..
