I know it’s a drum reaction... but did anyone else notice how sick obscura’s bass player is? Dude is killin it.

"Oh he's going foot to foot!... ohhh! He's going foot to foot!! (Pauses)..... oh he's going foot to foot." Hahaha 😅

Had the pleasure of touring with this absolute monster. Every single night was a clinic.

Oh yes! Lanser is a monster. If you want to see his predecessor in Obscura, check out Hannes Grossmann playing Alter Magnitudes from his new band Alkaloid.

Jazz Dad: "FWENCH GWIP"

I'm mostly impressed that you identified the foot to foot without seeing his feet...

Great! You should check his jazz/metal work with Panzerballett, with their "Take five" version.

Dude I love the stuff he plays, he eats subdivisions and polyrhythms for breakfast, has incredible hand technique (them doubles man), equally awesome foot technique, groovy as hell... Sebastian rules 😂 and so does your reaction 👍

Sebastian Lanser is a goddamn beast. Seeing Obscura live with him behind the kit is a memory I’ll hang onto until I’m dead. He’s so technically proficient, it’s insane.

So pumped Sebastian Lanser is my favorite drummer at the moment 🤘

Lanser is a absolute beast. Maybe do more reactions to him. He's one of the best IMO

These guys are incredible, you’re even helping metal heads to find new stuff now 🤘

Never heard of this guy before... Fucking hell I need more!

Nice use of the fretless bass on this track as well.

I understand you want to go minimalist talking I get it, but I like hearing your opinion and I like hearing your expertise on what happened in the video maybe just a little.... a little more talking. Thanks for the upload dude you kick ass !!!!! 🤘click it🤘

YEAH BOI! I put Sebastian in my top 5 all time favourite drummers, he's got a ridiculous amount of control and technical playing ability, not just in metal but playing jazz, funk and fusion. Check his stuff with Panzerballett out, I guarantee it'll blow your mind, especially their version of Take Five.

6:46 Your most profound analysis yet

I've been waiting for someone to do a reaction to Sebastian, whew nice job. He is just so good in every way and yet I don't feel like enough people really know about him. Loved your comments and again loved that you reacted to Sebastian. You made my evening, thanks.

OMG DUDE IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS VIDEO FOR SO LONG I think I even suggested this particular one in a comment section not long ago!

Great video. One of the better ones in a while lots of nice technical discussion. Love it

1K thumbs up, 0 down. I have never seen such like ratios! Awesome and well deserved sir! Lover your reactions and insights!

As a former drummer, I love watching drummers 1,000 times better than me. 👍👍👍🤘🎵🎶

He's such a subtle player. Lot's of nuance. Great reaction man!

I wish i could give this 5 thumbs up!! The drum/cymbals = awesome ! The song/ playing = fn ridiculous! And the "fadeaway" reaction excellent!!! This is goin right to the saved list fo sho

That would be a great way to describe Sebastian's drumming actually, TASTY as fuck xD

"Kick his ass, Sebas!!!" Mr. Lanser knows no other mode of operation. Garrett, I dig your reaction analyses very much. It just plain makes me feel good seeing a trad'l jazz drummer enthusiastically pointing& geeking out on the same things I geek out on as a death metal drummer watching the heavyweights of our genre. One positive aspect of internet world is that it makes possible a universal community, where Seb Lanser et al aren't just obscure(_obscura_?😉) provincial talent known only to a certain sound, scene or region, but can take their rightful places as giants in the world of drumming, eligible for being the topic of conversations between drum enthusiasts of all stripes, like one is generally able to discuss your Copelands, Bozzios, or Gadds.

I think it would be cool if you did a little bit of break down at the end of the video. Similar to your earlier videos.

When he did the tom roll, the noise you made sounded like the street fighter KO. Couldnt have been more perfect.

I suggested Sebastian when you first started your channel! Excited for this one : )

best drummer reactions channel. Pure passion.

You really should react to more of his stuff!

Hell yea! How exciting to discover a new band!!!! \m/

Thanks so much for this reaction! Love your series very much, this one not being an exception! Sebastian is indeed an amazing drummer. Been following him now for 10+ years and seen him a few times live! Highly recommendable!

This dude's a surgeon behind the kit. Always so fun to watch, so effortlessly tasteful

i love how in this vid you keep it simple and just enjoy the song and Sebastian's performance. Your diligence is humbling to say the least.

I have been waiting months and months for this. Your reaction did not disappoint! This whole band is just full of pure professionals who have mastered the craft. So. Good.

Lanser is probably the best metal drummer nowdays... it has all the speed but with groove, spice and class...

came for Lanser the drum. stayed for Klausenitzer bass.

I've been playing (self taught) for like 17 years. And I feel like no one has ever broken things down and explained them to me like you. Thanks dude. Keep your head up

DILUVIUM MAN DILUVIUUUUUUUUUUUUMMMMMMM PD: nice react 5:55 xdd

Love these videos, makes watching these drum play throughs that much more entertaining

Excellent video Garret! I love your reactions! Sebastian is truly amazing!

enjoyed that far more than the typical blast-metal fare. Highly creative and great chops.

YES, YES, YES Garrett! I saw Obscura live exactly a month ago, and also got a pic with Sebastian. The entire band was so nice and incredible musicians.

literally been waiting since I found your channel for you to react to Sebastian Lanser 😂 so glad to see it

Damn, what a great drummer and a great piece of music. Thanks for sharing

Señor he aqui el baterista actual mas versatil del mundo!!!! Es increible lo que toca Sebastian. Excelente!!!!

Always loved this song

Lanser is absolutely a different kind of monster. At first you notice how he plays really sharp simple things and then he just throws out something totally mind bending technical stuff out of the blue. Definitety check out Obscura - Diluvium

Lanser, the bassist and 2nd guitarist all just left Obscura and have formed a new band together. OBSIDIOUS is the name if I'm not mistaken.

I know this is a drum channel primarily, but would like to remark that there's some real tasty bass playing in this song that needs some love, almost thought it was Erlend Caspersen.

Pretty sure i recommended this a time or two haha glad you finally watched this monster of a drummer!

That was a really good one dude! Lots of comments on the timing and explaining too love it

Hey Garrett, as a metal guitarist, I "know" tech-death drummer's are bad ass, but I really don't know "why." Hearing your breakdowns, and reactions, are really informative and entertaining brother, thank you!

I've watched this video like 5 times... So damn solid

that was fucking flavorful! Love Obscura!

Perfect reaction! Just what your audience is looking for. Short accurate input with gnarly "Oh!" faces hahaha. Thanks homie, keep em coming!

That's the kind of reactions I like to see ! Keep on going Garrett !

Dude, i love your reactions! Youre awesome

Dat fretless bass SLAPS

It's also worth checking out Obscura's namesake, the band Gorguts (they did an album called Obscura)

Sebastian is the son in law of a colleague of mine :D Hoping to meet him sometime.

His drum solo at the Tama 40th anniversary is one of my favorites of all time. It's on Part 3. Fuckin' amazing.

Great channel🤘

I watch your videos for some time now(they were massively recommended to me by YT algorithm) and I finally grew up to subscribing to you today, when I noticed that I discover more new metal music by watching a jazz drummer reactions to it than actually searching for it myself :D Keep up the good job, cheers from Poland! :)

Your reaction to that disgusting fill at the end is hilarious!

HAHAHA Garrett you made me LOL so hard at the end!

His sound is amazing

As a few other people mentioned already, you should definitely check out Sebastian Lanser's drumming in Panzerballet! They play Wellness-Death-Jazz (as they say) and I'm sure you'd love it!

Its about #$#@ time. This guy is sick! Please do The Contortionist Language I and II, or anything from Joey Bacca

Seriously one of the best live bands out, I saw them with my best mate at the Corner Hotel in Melbourne and it was one of the sickest things I've ever seen. This band rips harder than a Gatorade bottle, bluetack and Al foil on a Friday afternoon at approx. 4:15pm

Fun fact: I was making the same facial expressions when that part (1:42) came in! :D

all about that fretless bass. check out Martyr!

Would love to see you check out Jay Postones from Tesseract!! Really amazing feel and a great player.

Nice man, i knew you'd like him. I think your mind will be blown even more by his work in Panzerballett, a german Jazz-Metal-Band. Take Five live at Theatron is fucking killer

I absolutely ADORE this album, but I didn't know he was this good!

Obscura, How not to love it ? I have noticed some days ago, that the thing abount the obscura is not about the great musicians and what they play. They have something about how sophisticated they are, look at that clean guitar, the fat fretless bass, and that so well tuned drum set. Moreover, look at the sound production, mixing and stuff, how well made they are. These guys rule the entire death/prog scene nowdays by far imo.

the greatest satisfaction is to see your reactions

Please do Gorguts, "Le toit du monde" This band, Obscura, was actually named after one of their albums. And, I would argue, it's even a technical level above this.

I learn something about technique from your reactions almost every time. Thanks.

Hey garrett i'm garrett. i like how much good music you find thru doin this, all the music i live for!

Dude is legit.

Damn, you could fit a cruise liner in the space between this guy's notes.

We are right in the middle of a major evolution of musicians.

Keep up the content my man!

Lovin' that fretless bass!

Awesome

Please react to Alex Rudinger: Infinite Regression. One of the most insane drum videos I've seen in a while

The reactions are hilarious my man

02:54 doubel hits both side floor toms- I love it.

That was impressive! Really impressive drumming especially the double bass drum, the way he switches from 16th to triplets to 8th notes, it is insane! I miss you breaking it down more at the end of the video and explaining what the guy was doing or how you felt about it. I really recommend you to check: Florent Marcadet - Treasure This Pain he is really a great drummer from a very underrated band in Metal called Hacride.

On drum technique academy from Marthyn Jovanovic.Sebastian said he uses American grip but with finger control technique.

5:55 money shot

being a jazz man, you should watch Sebastain lanser, with panzer ballet doing take 5, blow you jazz & metal mind at the same time !

Bienvenue to Obscura, now you are inside the Obscura and can never escape ( their music :)

And i think Sebastian isnt even using his full potential in obscura. His Panzerballett stuff is on another level. This is more like a speed exersize for him. :)

Holy fuck. That last fill was super tight.

Awesome drummer!! Dave Lombardo thanks!

I don’t like the style of music, however this is more melodic than some of the stuff is, but the musicianship cannot be denied, absolutely amazing....and listen to that fretless sliding around . Awesome

Here you see the difference between “I’m fast” and “I’m insanely talented”. What a groove.
