Thomen' s Drum Chamber performance! Bright Eyes - Blind Guardian - LIVE album version!

[@bonorakill1349]

Thomen is the Real Blind Guardian. We miss you, your drum lines and fills! Absolute power metal essence..

[@StagehandFromHell]

Habe sehr lange überlegt was mein absolutes Lieblingslied von Blind Guardian ist.....Sehr lange...Bright Eyes. Nicht zuletzt wegen Deines Drummings. Der Text, die Musik, die Stimmung - einfach alles perfekt! Und jedes Mal konzentriere ich mich auf das Schlagzeug und das klingt soooo wunderbar! Wir sehen uns in 6 Tagen:)

[@rafainfestatio]

I'm speechless.... Man, you are such a unique musician..... Please , never stop playing!!!!!!!

[@metalrico9480]

This is one of my favorites! Not the fastest, but still one of those anthems! Amazing performance!!!

[@gibranmoraes2498]

[@hallgeir1971]

Never thought about the drumming and how complex it is on this song. Very cool.

[@7thotube]

Thanks for posting it, Thomen! Abraço do Brasil!

[@Metalvegeta89]

Thanks Thomen, this is is my favorite blind guardian song and the fact that you played the live version makes it better

[@jimavelli1866]

Too often, the drummer's work is hidden at the back of the stage and only partially heard over the guitars and the voices. Thank you for making these vids! Much love and respect!

[@arevlov]

You are the one and only drummer of BG. Very very thanks for these great videos. You are one of the biggest influence on drumming for me. Thanks again and again again again 👍🤘😊 Could you please share which brand and model drumsticks do you use? And is there a way can I get a pair of signed drumsticks of you used? Best regards from Turkey 👏

[@JulioBergo83]

I love how your footwork tell us a story.

[@алексейХабаров-ъ2ж]

[@andremarinho7077]

I Love you guy

[@zvonestejskal1847]

finding this channel made my day, you're my favourite drummer of all time

[@ThomenDrumChamber]

Ohhh, thanks a million, my dear friend! 😶

[@lluisvilasori]

Alguien tiene que decir que lo que nos flipó de Blind Guardian a todos y nos dejó con el culo roto fue esa increíble fusión de batería hardcore con melodías medievales, esa armonía clásica cantada con la voz más desgarrada estilo Dio de Hansi... Esa esquizofrenia que creasteis entre el punk más agresivo y la música barroca. Sois unos artistas genuinos y el tiempo os pondrá en vuestro lugar.

[@ThomenDrumChamber]

Muchas gracias, amigo! Buenas palabras! Un abrazo muy fuerte! Recuerdos

[@lluisvilasori]

My fav drummer in this genre of all time. Fetch a squire, you must pass this on. \m/ }:> \m/

[@MantraHerbInchSin]

Oh and please record in a higher frame rate, would look soo awesome in 60 fps, thank you.

[@ThomenDrumChamber]

Yeah, but the last videos are in 60fps already. But therefore just in 720p. That's the compromise for that. 😊

[@MantraHerbInchSin]

@@ThomenDrumChamber Well I am happy with you just playing, the rest is just the topping :)

[@ThomenDrumChamber]

A ver! Quizás algún dia! 😊

[@MrAcacioVidal]

@@ThomenDrumChamber É um trabalho seu espetacular, merece ser revisto, abraço!

[@FHansen25]

Gracias por estos vídeos Thomen, son extraordinarios, con ellos podemos aprender cosas nuevas. Y Quiero preguntarte algo: Por que cambiar de un estilo como Blind Guardian y Savage Circus, a lo que estás tocando hoy que es más suave por llamarlo así? Gracias y un abrazo desde Chile 🇨🇱 PD: Tienes Instagram?

[@ThomenDrumChamber]

Hola Fabian! Si, tengo instagram: @thomentheomen Muchas gracias por tus palabras! Lo de BG y SC y cambiar el estilo no es solo una cosa mia. Es la banda que toca este estilo y me gusta tocarlo. Nunca es bueno solo tocar lo mismo como antes. Tienes que poder desarrollarte y estar listo para probar algo nuevo. Por lo menos es mi opinión. Un abrazo muy fuerte, amigo! Espero que nos vemos en Chile pronto! Recuerdos a todos, Thomen

[@lindrossfelagun]

Thomen can you put a drum kit description??

[@jmp469]

Yes! a gear rundown! I see a few toms with different drum heads... wanna know a lot of stuff!

[@ericvargson575]

Hey Thomen, geiles Cover! Ich suche seit geraumer Zeit die Drumnoten für diesen Song um alles nachvollziehen zu können. Hast du da was? LG

[@ThomenDrumChamber]

Hi Eric! Nein, sorry. Hab ich nicht. Ich spiele nie nach Noten, daher....! 😊 Musste den Fredrik mal fragen, der sollte sie rausgeschrieben haben.

[@thiagomcdo]

Where did all that swing go? 😥

[@ThomenDrumChamber]

Man, what do you mean?

[@dontanton7775]

Really don't want to bash Frederic. But what you do shows that instinct goes over education. Listen to the new BG stuff: So many songs are boring on the drums. There is just nothing happening. Most of it moved to the orchestral and chorus. When you play, there is a crash everywhere, in different pitches on different accents. And then all those tom tom action singing along the song. I so miss that part in blind guardian. The new BG is too clean on the drums. With you the drums felt like a part of the songwriting. The drums "had a voice" (up, down, high crash, low crash, break, short tom roll, long tom roll, always something going on, telling a story). A main instrument of the song. Now they only have supporting character in BG songs. They sound good, but just like every other band. And they got less volume too. They moved much more into the background. Probably because of all that chorus overkill (in terms of sound mix, not song writing, where BG always had strong chorus). In terms of sound, Flemming Rasmussen also just did the perfect balance. With Charlie Bauerfeind (who probably is a very capable producer) their is such a strong focus on the vocals so there just is no room for drums and sometimes even lead guitar. Flemming was the best and will always be the best. My opinion. Compare NIME to the albums afterwards. It's such a difference. Super defined and clear with Flemming VS. OVERLOAD, LISTEN TO MY WALL OF SOUND with Charlie.

[@ThomenDrumChamber]

Woooow!!!! These are really very kind words, Don! As I also commented already before at other places, i think everybody has a different taste and it's good this way. But i can of course understand your mood about all this, if you simply liked the old times more than the stuff nowadays. Of course, i love to read all thid and it makes me very proud to read sentences like yours, nevertheless i know that Fred is a great drummer and very kind guy and the whole band wants to develop its style always. Anyway, thanks a million once more for your praising words. Wooowww

[@dontanton7775]

@@ThomenDrumChamber Just to say this clearly: I respect Fred and he is a professional drummer! Yes. I still do not like the way he plays on the new BG stuff. That is the difference. It is too streamlined. Keep on rocking Mr Stauch.

[@metaldetector5049]

@@dontanton7775 sad things is that we can't be really sure about what Fred WOULD play. We all can't really know the boundaries session musicians have when they record an album.

[@gringochucha]

Yep, you said it. Despite being called "power metal" Blind Guardian always had a unique sound. That unique sound was a combination of a lot of factors: the songwriting, Hansi's singing, Andre's solos, the slightly thrashy edge, among others. And Thomen's larger-than-life drumming was another big part of it. Despite never being super technical, his playing was always interesting and nuanced, with a lot of dynamics and a great, great sound. Frederik is a very capable drummer, but to me his playing doesn't stand out at all. You could replace him with any other power metal drummer and nobody would notice. On a side note, I always think it's funny how Thomen didn't seem to like the band's evolution on ANATO, because his drum performance on it is so fucking good. It's one of my favourite "drum albums" of all time (regardless of the production, because I do get your point).
