Being this skilled should not be legal

This song has lead drums and rhythm everything else

I feel the _'Like'_ button isn't powerful enough. I want a _'Put this on top of KZfaq's trending page and add as favorite for all KZfaq users'_ button.

He is crearly a Gavin Harrison fan. So much groove, feeling and creativity.

This was actually the very first song I listened from Leprous. I felt in love instantly.

4:24 This man really adjusted the drum mic with his left hand mid-song and never missed a beat. Had to slow it down to .25 to see it! Amazing work, loving every bit.

This band is operating on an entirely different plane to anyone else. Stunning, absolutely stunning. And Baard is the crown jewel.

The most unique and exciting drummer right now. Easily.

There is a wonderful amount of Gavin Harrison going on here :). Great playing!

Best young drummer in the best young band in the world if you ask me! (also my fav Leprous song)

The drum track in this song makes me think of a waterfall: beautiful and chaotic.

Not sure if this is playthrough or drum solo

they can chill the fk out with that camera

One of the best songs on the album. Love the unorthodox groove. Wish the snare sounded more like this on the album

The prog genre has some of the most talented and technically inclined drummers available in the world. Jay Postones, Gavin Harrison, Mike Portnoy and Baard Kolstad just to name a few. Amazing what these guys achieve with their instrument. I am in total aw!!!

And he's only 24.

The kind of drum play that makes u want to live more

When ever I wanna watch a drummer do his thing in perfection, I just have to come to this video. It is sheer incredible, and perfect. I cant get enough of this song!

The technical side is magnificent. The composition is magnificent. The level of feeling is magnificent. What a sticksman! 😮

Compositionally one of the best drummers ever in my opinion. So orchestral in style. Fits the music perfectly. And that my friends is the most important thing as a drummer period! Then add to that the fact that he is also extremely talented skill wise as well. Almost makes me want to quit instead I try harder

He's using cheat codes!

This dude makes me wanna quit drumming but at the same time makes me wanna practice even more

The drummer is the master of this beautiful song !

1:20 god DAMN that fill into the chorus uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugh I've been trying to learn 2:10 to 2:48 there's just SO MANY things happening at once and right after the other. Different combination of rudiments with flams and accents jesus christ 4:14 THE REVERSE FILL AAAAAAAAAH so fkn good This man has complete mastery of drumming. Drums 100.

It's simply amazing to me how he apparently leads every song with his drums - everything else, vocals guitars etc is fascinatingly good, but it wouldn't be half as good as it is without this man behind the drums, it's just beyond words

This is easily one of the best drummers in the music world today...

Being a musician/songwriter means coming to terms with the fact that you're just a collection of all the musicians/songwriters that influenced you throughout your life. Every once in a while a band like this comes along that kickstarts a desire to imitate whatever it is they're doing differently from everybody else. That's not what I truly desire, but now my head is churning with ideas. It would be nice to meet a drummer this talented to achieve some of these incredibly complex grooves I need in my life. I dabble with drums, but guitar is where I hang my hat. Not having an incredible drummer by my side is like having an untapped potential. If anybody loves metal and plays drums anywhere near the level this guy does hmu. Maybe we can make something happen. Much respect to Baard of course. Absolutely love what you do.

M O O N, that spells incredible drummer

The ending at 7:09 is beyond good. Not the same with the real track. This one is better and I love Baard’s facial expression!

I've never seen anything like that before (except for baard playing live). This guy is a musical genius...

The song are so powerful emotionally and Baard nails it very beautiful to put more dramatic in this song. What a talented guys all of you..

Incredible work!!! I cant end the video without replaying 5:44 over thousand times , cant get it enough it just superb !!

Why does his broken cymbals sound so great? Makes me wanna crush my cymbals too!

My new favorite Drummer!

Dude's playing with a half broken stick in his left hand.......and is still a badass!

Baard Kolstad and Matt Gartska are my favorite drummers!

Could listen to this on loop all day!! Give chills everytime!!

Baard YOU are a scandinavian GOD!!!!!!!!

absolutely incredible. Haven't seen fills this good since gavin harrison

There is such jealousy, envy, admiration, etc here and all at the same time - inspiration! My brain can not comprehend how someone accomplishes such greatness!

Feel, fluidity and form.

Remember that game we played in primary school where we wiggled a pencil and said it was made out of rubber? Thanks for the high frame rate capture for giving us rubber drum sticks.

I only recently discovered your work (through Leprous), and along side such amazing musicians instantly made me a fan. As a fellow drummer, your tasty and unique approach to the art gave me a renewed sense of inspiration. Keep it up, I'll be around to hear it for as long as I can. Rock on!

Man I hate comparisons but this one really reminds me of Rishloo, a band I totally forgot about. Leprous and Baard amazing as always

Got to love this drummer!👍💯

I love that just when it almost sounds like he's doing too much, the song changes and it all makes sense. Love Leprous!

Awsome band!!! Greetings from Poland

Now I just need to see Red being played through... pretty plz!

Baard plays with all his feelings! I love this boy, damn

This might be the weirdest time signature I've ever heard

Holy shit, this is amazing. Really big fan man. I think you're already in my top 3 drummers, your playing is just so creative.

Man, your doing flams in your playing inspired me to be more creative on the drums and think about (and practice) my rudiments more. I am doing flams a lot more now and it sounds awesome around the kit.

What a drummer!! Awesome

Gotta love the irregular groove. It takes a lot of not only skill, but creativity.

Amazing. Saw it live on stage a few months ago and couldn't take my eyes off Bard in this brilliant song. The drumming was magical.

PLEASE, Baard, if you are reading this (I know you will) I'm begging you guys, you have to come to south america (Chile please!)

The mastdrumspiece by excellence !!!! (My top drums video)

Ooooh that cheeky ending though!

For the most original, awesome, crazy, technical, precise, dancing, and kick-ass drumings ever... the winner is : baard koldstad playing « moon » with leprous !! (Hands down)

Insane. Complex Beat

His drumming is so baard kolstad but it throws Gavin Harrison to the listener. So good. That nice sound of Muzak variation groove.

No words to describe it

IN-CRE-DÍ-BLE !!! Best young drummer actually!

It almost looks like it was sped up with how fast he moves at times yet it's obviously not faked. Just amazing.

Lars Ulrich created ten Google accounts to dislike this video

One of my fav drum pieces ever!

Damn!

Haha that ending is fire

I really hope seeing this band after the war in my country is over!!!! This is amazing guys!!!! Your music is fenomenon! And it’s fantastic!!!!

So creative. My first time hearing him. Holy F

Great job! I listen to this song almost every morning when I'm driving to work :)

Honestly man, you have been the breath of fresh air I have needed! Awesome style in an awesome band and amongst the flawless technical finesse, you have this real organic power that kinda reminds me John Theodore from The Mars Volta! You're very quickly becoming my favourite drummer! Keep it up!!! :D

Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!This i the best ritms!!!!!!!!!!!!Its something magic-isnt it?))))))))

the energy :o he sure has stamina, along with tremendous skill

I was searching for how to burn fat in 7 minutes. Thank you Baard...

Cinematic hugeness

this is superhuman

Great work on the video Simen Sandnes!!!!

So. Damn. Good!! I see the Harrison comparisons… but I also see the Portnoy influence… the groove… this kid is just killing it!!

This is pure bliss. Thank you so much Baard for your inspiring drumming!

Great song and amazing performance. Hoping to see you guys in Turkey!

Love it!

Very talented! Really love the final 2 minutes, the shifting / weird time signature. Saw you live this past year, was blown away!
