Pete is an incredibly wonderful person.. i had the pleasure and opportunity to tour w morbid angel back in 98 and it was one of the best and amazing times of my life.. we became great friends and I'll never forget it.. Pete let me play his kit on the last day of the tour because we were late getting to the venue because of transportation issues and didn't have time to set up and he was kind enough to let me use his drum kit and it was a dream come true man.. anyway, he never has lost his touch.. alot of ppl talk shit about him finding Jesus and having the Lord in his life and I say fuck everyone.. let the man be.. he is an incredible person and a phenomenal drummer.. and when morbid angel lost him it was the worst thing that could've happened to them.. his style of playing made that band imo.. and when u can sit behind him night after night and watch him play a 90 minute set and straight tear it up then tell me he's lost his touch.. Pete sandevol is a beast.. always was, always will be..

this is not just drumming pete is the first chapter of death metal history!

He looks like he's been on the gear for about 3 centuries

Playing in the sickest vintage motocross boots! Not an easy thing to do......

So true. He's very controlled and fast, yet stays slender after years of blasting.

Extreme drumming Legend🤘

Rey del blast beat . me alegro mucho que se alla recuperado de la espalda el es un genio y es latino del salvador y fue de los primeros en el metal en ejecutar tecnica de blast beat

Pete, can I hear your kick drum please?

One foot blast beats! Gotta love em'!

Pete on a single kick. Im living in a joke simulation.

His shoes were from Lucifer's new fall collection that year.

Awesome. Pete is still the blast beats god. All bow down.

Old school blasts the way they should be

Exellent old school death drumming

Probably the only drummer i seen with the pointer finger technique

master of blast beat

Got to meet Pete and Dave and Richie at the first Melbourne Morbid concert...and had a drink with them after party at Sarah Sands hotel ....then got back stage pass in Adelaide next state on tour ...Christbait did Adelaide support.are from Melbourne. And my house mate in early 90s.Keith...corpse molestation/Bestial warlust /Destroyer 666..did support in Melbourne....it was their first ever gig...Supporting Morbid Angel...as Corpse Molestation...etc etc.

Salvadorean Drum power!!!

wow!!!!!!!!!that was cooolll brother...

He's hilarious when doing blast beats on the hi-hat at 1:00 into the video, the way his right hand is placed ....

He's slowly becoming a werewolf.

I always thought Pete would've been a good fit for Slayer. He and Lombardo have a similar style.

Both Trey and Pete look like Kieth Richards when he was on drugs

This guy is a madman…

Serillian666: triggers CAN do what you're talking about, but great drummers use it to get a "equalized" sound (for instanc, fast double base drumming can be 99% perfect so the trigger corrects the 1% remaning, know what I mean ?). Also, it helps getting the sounds you want for the parts you trigger like bass drums or toms...

sick fast foot he's got...o__o Gotta give him that...:)

Pete Rules !!!

Thank god for triggers!

I can say that although I'm not into this type of playing or this style of music, I can certainly appreciate the level of accuracy Pete displays here (and in all of his playing). It's your opinion, though. And I can appreciate that. Also know that there are SO many people that love this style... so please refrain from alienating most of the people watching this video! -mikey

I like to say: compact. Pete's a really great guy, and rippin' drummer. -mikey

Damn Skeletor on the drums but he rips

I'm sure you can program your hits to double up or even triple up, but I don't know anyone who actually does that. Pete Sandoval ACTUALLY plays that fast! I can't wait til people see the Metal Masters kit that he has! TWO KICK DRUMS! -mikey

Here, he's using the RET Percussion e-drums. They feel and look great. They trigger perfectly for VPT software. That's probably why Pete uses RET, because they're the best at triggering the software. -mikey

awesome

0:38 there is he using swivel? or is he some kind of heel toe moving his feet sideways ??

El mágico Sandoval !

Pete's a bad ass

@Serillian666 Triggers don't add in beats. Do you even know how triggers work?

Did he get those boots from Glen Benton?

Does anyone know if those are Joey Jordison Signature sticks? I've seen a lot of drummers using them. They have great balance.

I love when people post comments like this! I love it because it really gives me insight on how many people have never used a system like this. It's so advanced right now that it scares people from trying it. Sad, really. Oh well, I guess I'll just enjoy my 1,000's of drums by myself :-) -mikey

True, we probably should have... just because people don't get it! Just watch the other videos. We have more important things to worry about than an audio feed, sometimes, but it IS important. Thanks for the comment! -mikey

More then 10 yrs ago

That sounds about right! Have you tried it yet? -mikey

He was awesome to meet. Hey, do you have an RET kit?! Or have you played one? -mikey

pete sandoval el mejor

Are you sure there was not a ticker tape machine behind the drums ? Sound sucks , where is the audio feed ? the whole point to the trigged thing is for the sounds afterall !

doubles on bass drum..

Omg Pete’s hand technique is reminiscent of Charlie WAtts!

Por supuesto, amigo! -mikey

Tippy tapping and bread-sticking, aka "drumming"

These are the original Smartrigger's. Although the Surge cymbals ARE Smartriggers... these are the real deal :-) -mikey

I don't know man, I've played other kits, but RET kills them all. I'd check out the other videos using direct audio feeds. This doesn't really do it justice, and isn't really supposed to. You're just supposed to enjoy seeing Pete! -mikey

Nice boots!

"Lemme try a different beat... nope! THRASH TIME" 0:30

Thank you, sir! -mikey

Allora illuminami, maestro. Perchè sarebbe così bravo? E' solamente veloce.

Power Ranger boots...epic

Warmachine!!!👍🏻💪🏻

Single footed blast master

I want those boots

1:06 WTF? 🔥

Yes, it does. It's just showing Pete triggering software. You can check out my other videos for good representation of the VPT system with Superior Drummer 2.0... or you can go to the Toontrack or VirtualPercussionOutlet websites. -mikey

CAPO !!

Was this before or after his back surgery?

does he dissect kids too?

HIS ARMS o.O

Валерий Леонтьев на барабанах

are those smart trigger cymbals or alesis surge?

powered by popusas

Single. Kick.

Nice shin pads :)

You can't hear the snare that well here. This snare beats most of my acoustic snares as far as tonal quality. -mikey

Awesome, dude! Do you know where you're going to get your VPT kit and package? I would highly suggest: VirtualPercussionOutlet(.com) It's the place to go for VPT. -mikey

Wow

Swivel technique origins

he's using triggers? hes playing chepl of ghouls

Commando!

Sheesh, shadow of his former self. Just watch videos of MA with Jared Anderson 2001. Pete should probably work on his grip..

Is this before or after his back surgery?

I'm working with NASA to develop tambourines for Pete's ankles. They are made from space age materials and I built the prototype in my one bedroom apartment with no overhead or tricky bank loans.

good o_o

Pete fucking commando sandoval

with his 50lb boots

Commando

he looks alot older than i thought :(

And people say that he is waiting to come back to Morbid Angel after his back injury is better. Looks to me like he's GTG. So either he quit for religious reasons, or goodbye Tim Yeung.

oops i meant chapel

Pete The Feet played mozart

@Serillian666 Okay, fair enough. Haha.

Any album you listen to fir the last 20 would of had triggers lol or the drums would sound flat as fuck like old recordings

Thank God Pete is now a member of the family of Jesus Christ! Another lost sheep now is in the fold! Love you, Pete!

yeah i agree in this case, though this can sound incredible. i don't know how these guys have them set up here but they do sound a bit stupid. maybe it's partly the cameras mic, but those toms don't sound right. lmao at 40 seconds, sure that must be the camera. the demo video on the website sounds awesome... nothing like this

Yeah, hearing direct audio is MUCH better. I play out of a PA system with a sub, and it sounds better than any acoustic kit I've ever mic'ed. Check the other videos for confirmation! -mikey

Lmao

He is definetly good at what he does, but i dont this is something I would listen to all the time

Hyperfast

Now google images "Luiz Caldas" lol

It isn't as if you don't have countless sounds to choose from on the snare.
