Yooo anyone seeing this plzzzz drop a comment. Ant song u want me to learn or crazy pattern, also any drummers u want me to react to. Comments = support and help my channel so much. Even if u just wanna comment I’m a douche that’s fine with me. ❤❤❤

They come out on stage - play their insanely good music which ppl love and just leave.

you should check more videos of darkside, one of the most creative drummers out there

He is a percussionist.

Darkside is dope as fuck both on record and live. Fantastic drummer. And yes, definitely learn the pattern, probably fun to play. Also, the vocals are very typical to the genre (Black Metal) and to me they're perfect.

Oh heck yeah, my favourite drum solo cam of all time!!!!

I keep forgetting suggesting this guy, but yeah, his often fairly bell centric cymbal patterns are something he sure is known for, he has a lot of these nifty little chimey grooves in store on the "Exercises in Futility" album

Loving the reactions. Found your channel from the Ulcerate video, was stoked to see you reacted to this too. Love Darkside. Hope to see you react to more of both

Now you've covered all the drummers I've recommended since I found your channel! Awesome! Darkside is great on the bells; I heard that his style is a result of his classical percussion training where he majored in xylophone. Definitely his cymbal flourishes and use of bells is what sets him apart from most drummers, let alone drummers in the extreme scene. I'm sure that bell section while maintaining the steady double kick and the back beat on the snare is what has made this video in particular go viral; it's definitely something unique! Some more drummers you might enjoy listening to: Navene Kopperweis is currently in a project called ENTHEOS with his newly wed wife; he plays all the guitars and drums and she writes the lyrics and does the vocals. On the records they have their friend and amazing bassist Evan Brewer who is currently in Fallujah and used to be in Animosity with Navene which they both started when they were teenagers. Navene is also the original drummer for Animals as Leaders, but he left after recording their second album, as he was feeling artistically constrained. Amazing drummer worth checking out! ENTHEOS do have a live band, Navene plays drums live and they have some good guitarists to tour with them. They just use stems of the bass for live though; Evan's a monster on the bass and since they're close friends for decades, I doubt they want to look for a replacement despite the fact that Evan is too busy with Fallujah and his family to really tour. Speaking of Animals as Leaders, their current drummer is a Berklee graduate and a prodigy; some consider him one of the best living drummers today. His name is Matt Garstka and definitely worth checking out. He is far less influenced by extreme metal drumming than he is influenced by gospel and jazz, but he mixes all kinds of styles beautifully... And he's one of those drummers who prefers the sound of acoustic drums to triggers but still enjoys using double kick patterns. For something more extreme, check out our neighbors, First Fragment from Quebec. Their current drummer has a great playthough; look for "Soif Brûlante Drum Playthrough by Nicholas Le Fou Wells." Forest is on bass for that band; I mentioned him a long time ago on your Death reaction. He's probably my favorite bassist in the extreme metal scene. I opened for one of the bands he was in when he was playing with Quo Vadis; they had just released an album where they had Steve Digorgio (the bassist on Death's album "Individual Thought Patterns", which the song you reacted to is off of) do session bass. Forest is probably one of the few bassists who could fill Steve's shoes, especially back then in the early 2000's when the metal scene was anemic. I also opened for Forest in his other band (which he is still in and is still going strong, despite the fact that their lead songwriter/guitarist/vocalist has a full time job as a high school teacher!) Augury in that era too! First Fragment is an incredibly talented band, so I can't recommend them enough! I'd also recommend checking out Beyond Creation's video for "Omnipresent Perception", which also has Forest on bass; less so about watching the drummer and more so the entire band. Almost a decade ago Forest left that band as they started to get popular and he helped them find a replacement with one of his bass students, Hugo! Hugo's also a beast on the fretless bass! Alternatively, if you want to focus on their drummer, their current drummer, Phillip Boucher has some good, official play throughs online. He's also a former drummer of First Fragment!

This bell part is just so sick and the fact he does not lose the back beat is insane!!!!! I definitely would like to see you try it :D Baard Kolstad soon? ;) I am pretty sure you get a lot of requests though

Darkside is Maciej Kowalski - he has a channel on YT, real pity he barely put's something on it 😅but this year he has finally pleased us with some new stuff 😉 -> kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jM9zo86q3bKll4U.html This is song from his other project and so... he is the bell boy...I mean... guy 😁 nonetheless he is THE drummer 🤘

Dan Presland (Ne Obliviscaris) And plague flowers the kaleidoscope studio playthrough

Fun fact☝️I played the spoons accenting all his bell hits during this performance but I did not want to steal his thunder so I told them NOT to mic me up…. Great reaction🤘This entire album is a masterpiece

You should definitely make a video of you doing the bleed double bass pattern mixed with the bell pattern from this at the same time and see how much you hate yourself or me

Elliott Hoffman from Car Bomb is another good one I saw mentioned. Seen him live and he's just a machine.

this is amazinggggg❤😂

Do a video of you learning this song, breaking it down and teaching it! Would be awesome.

ahh this guy (okay, his outfit) reminded me of the Locust, and realized that the late, great Gabe Serbian would make an awesome reaction video... if there were any clean videos of him playing. Unfortunately it's mostly live stuff and the sound is blown out to hell. Fun to watch on your own but not sure if it'd make good content lol. He had such an awesome, unique style.

Kriegsmaschine is a side project of Mgla(pronounced mg-wah) where Darkside plays in a completely different style, which is interesting, that he changes things up so much in different contexts. And yes, you should learn the pattern!

Mgla and behemoth are my favorite black metal bands from Poland. In fact they are the only 2 I know. Good thing they are incredible

Aric Improta - Blur Lights in the Videodrome, but it's 40 minutes long so be prepared for that one

Maciej Kowalski is his real name. Ex xylophonist if the rumours are true. Thanks for this one!

Travis Orbin - Icarus Lives! from his Periphery Playalongs. Very technical, ambidextrous & polyrhythms. Much wow.

Try "Kai Hahto - Winter Madness - Drumcam" for one of your reactions. He has played everything from jazz to grindcore. This song is from Wintersun and it's an oldie but the drumming is awesome. If I remember correctly the main riff is in 3/4, then 5/4 when the vocals come in and a bunch of crap like that but you won't even notice because he blasts the whole way through most of it.

You should check out elliot hoffman from car bomb. Dudes insane

Love these reactions! I think you'd love jazzy Joey Baca from the contortionist, he has a live playthrough of a song called Language thats super tight!🤘

so good

Check out Nils "Dominator" Fjellström performing Celestial Deconstruction with 1349!

what about Kerim ´Krimh´ Lechner (Septicflesh, Daath, his own project, ex-Decapited and others, fill in live for Behemoth and others) or Evgeny Novikov (Slaughter to Prevail, ex-Katalepsy, socks, gravity blasts, playing with his sticks backwards and all that good stuff 😉) and maybe Eugene Ryabchenko (Fleshgod Apocalypse and many, many things) and maybe few of the Obscura guys (Obscura is technical progressive death metal band based in Germany) Hannes Grossmann, David Diepold (current drummer) or Sebastian Lanser (current Obsidian and also Panzerballett, which music is described as a jazz-metal)

Inferno from Behemoth has a drum cam vid for their song "At the Left Hand ov God". Always felt the drum patterns in that song were filthy.

Ufffff ❤❤❤One more

Your voice is very pleasant to listen to. Give Sepultura a try, the band always had great drummers. I'd suggest the song "Territory".

Another suggestion: Replacire's "The Center that Cannot Hold" off the album of the same name. unfortunately it's audio only, no drum cam footage from their guy Joey Ferretti (yet). The whole band is (or was, not sure with lineup changes) a bunch of Berklee nerds, if that tells you anything about what to expect!

It took Thomas Haake 6 months to learn the song, so don't worry

Awesome reaction! Just watch Sebastian Lanser, he will blow your mind ;) Cheers!

Residual blight by kriegsmachine is the song you should have looked at for DS imo. Even for mgla I would have said futility ii instead of v but to each their own.

I've posted it under another video of yours. It's another drummer, Kevin Paradis, covering Darkside's drumming from his side band Kriegsmaschine. Unfortunately it's not a touring band so it's not possible to see Darkside performing it, but Kevin did a fantastic job covering Residual Blight. It's a totally different approach to drumming compared to what Darkside is presenting in Mgła. Link below, would be super cool if you'd reacted to it, or just watch it and let us know your thoughts. Cheers! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ja2nicSr36itaKs.html&ab_channel=KevinParadis

The vocals are awesome but they are made so much better by the lyrics, the whole album is poetry. Another one from sick drummer...not one mistake apparently. Drummer: Frost Band: 1349 He's relentless as well. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hJ2Cnsihx9XXk2w.html

Also u look so good

If you want a crazy reaction you should react to Infant Annihilator Cuntcrusher drum playthrough by Aaron Kitcher it would blow yor mind

I highly recommend Luke Holland - Tendinitis drum playthrough

check out Nils Dominator Fjellström - Dark Funeral - Vobiscum Satanas drum cam :p

No the bells are only in this song.

Needs more cowbell!

Go to it.

Watch Darkside in Hauntologist Death dreamer on his you tube channel

I was really disappointed when I found out this band are actual nazis. They play as live mucisians for Finnish neo-nazi Mikko Aspa's one-man band Clandestine Blaze.

Honestly I was super bored until the last 2 minutes. The end made up for the whole thing lol. I was thinking why do people want to see this. The end was pretty dope. Not nearly as dope as And Plague Flowers the Kaleidoscope by Ne Obliviscaris. You gotta watch the offical Dan Presland studio playthrough tho. That whole thing is epic. Also bleed is coming along nicely 4 hour shed hats off to you. 🤘🏽
