RIP one hell of a drummer gone to soon.

Rest in peace, Sean. These are hard times. Hug everyone.

Sean's drumming on "Human" is something to behold. How he was able to play with so much colour and groove to his playing, at such high speed was incredible. And I love what he says about playing what is right for the song. Such a flexible and selfless musician. R.I.P.

Sean was my teacher during the early Cynic days. He introduced me to Vinnie Colaiuta’s albums. Humble and cool dude. He changed my world and set the foundation for my drumming. One of two teachers that were able to teach me because of how advanced I was starting out. I was blessed to have this Legend come to my home and change my life with his knowledge.

Can’t believe he is gone. Such a beautiful, total musician. He will be missed. ❤️

Honest, humble, polite, open-minded and passionate about music. The world is a worse place without you, Sean Reinert. Rest in peace.

This dude is one of the most underrated drummers in metal or maybe just in music period. The drums on cynics traces in air are so tasteful, groovey and dynamic.

The end of this interview, it makes you feel so nostalgic, because Sean was an awesome person, and plus even being so great at what he gave to music in general, he gets very much like if he was your best friend, sharing a part of his experiences in music, life, and getting so emotional as well, you may rest in peace Sean, such an inspirational musician!!!!!

He mentioned Neil a few times. Who would have known they would die almost at the same time of this year. Two legends of drumming gone. Rest in peace, masters of percussion.

His work on the Death record changed everything for me. I was 13 and suddenly the options in heavy music seemed to be without limit. Such a great player!

R.I.P. Him and Sean Malone. One of the most influential Bass/drum sections in prog.

The drumming on Death Human absolutely changed the landscape of drumming for metal from there on out. Flat out. So far ahead of its time.

Really saddened to hear of his passing. Legendary drummer.

This guy literally was at the SPEARHEAD of techniques and playing that would change extreme metal....he was also at the spearhead of extreme metal at its first off time count in.....this guy IS METAL HISTORY!! RIP Sean. You and Neil will have a lot to talk about.

I remember sitting in the back when this very episode was filmed. Great memories ❤️

2020 is off to a bad start. Funny he mentions Neil Peart here a few times and now in 2020, both Neil and Sean pass away weeks apart. R.I.P. Sean and Neil.

His drumming on Human is inhuman!

I will never watch this and feel the same.. RIP Sean❤️

Your work with Cynic changed my life forever. Thank you and RIP Maestro

Rip. Dude was revolutionary with his jazzy chops in metal and never got the recognition he deserved.

His playing is so beautiful R.i.p

RIP brother. You're the sole reason why I picked up drumming instead of playing other instruments. You're really one of a kind drummer, a trendsetter and a legend. Rest in power my friend... for you'll be sorely missed by millions of your fans in millennia to come. In loving memory of Sean Landon Reinert (1971-2020)

Human in my own opinion is the best Death album

RIP Sean Reinert. This interview is at the same time awesome and heartbreaking. You were a fantastic drummer, and to have your insight and behind-the-scenes look at your approach is priceless. Thank you for everything.

Damn that was a loud ass clap..

RIP to a great drummer and what seemed to me like a great human.

We’ll miss you Sean. One of the greats.

RIP sir. You changed drumming forever with Cynic's Focus

RIP Sean.... gone all too soon.... one of my heroes and a foundational piece of this establishment we call modern metal...

The way Sean texturizes his drum playing is outstanding and unique. Genius.

Totally shocked of his loss. What a great personality and distinctive drummer. Very sad. You’ll be missed for many :(.

Incredible drummer and musician. Seems like a genuinely down-to-earth guy, too! I hope Cynic continues to make great albums.

sean fuckin` reinert you were the best drummer i have ever heard, not just from a technical point but from the composition side you were and still are a constant inspiration, i don´t even play drums but who cares a shit, this guy makes anyone with some minimal apreciation for music love him and love his music.

Rest in peace, dear Sean. Your playing was gigantic, inspiring, way ahead of your time. You'll be greatly missed. Infinite love for you, wherever you are.

This is a guy who plays on a whole other level. Not necessarily an influence of mine, but holy shit the level of technique, knowledge, and chops that he possesses is tremendous.

Sean Reinert's theory of music is spot on! Plus, his conscious understanding of "playing for the music" and not being the fastest drummer around is so refreshing to hear from a drummer that could do just that. I love his mind

for me, my favorite drumwork from sean was with gordian knot. the best style of drumming for me. rest in peace, sean. thanks for your contribution to music.

One of my favorite drummers and MAN he got BIG!

human was a paradigm shift in death metal drumming

A great legend. You left a great LEGACY behind. We'll always remember you. Thanks for evreything. R.I.P. Sean! 😢👏😢

RIP brother. Your music on human totally changed the way I look at bass. Respect.

What a wonderful guy, never met him, but I miss his contributions to music. A true genius.

Rip Genius. Such a great musician, what a heavy loss. Le concert de Cynic à Paris au Nouveau Casino en 2010 restera gravé à vie. Merci.

Great musician, one of my heroes.

Dude was like a Vikings with his hair in a ponytail when he toured for human.! He’s also right about blast beats and I absolutely love them... However his attention to detail on that record is phenomenal..... R.I.P

R.I.P. man. Amazing drummer and more so, an amazing soul/person.

Great unsung hero in the Metal drumming community, but you know what? He loved and enjoyed his craft. R.I.P.

Sean is an inspiration. His drumming and his character.

so sad he's gone! Time to replay with Chuck RIP

The star 🌟 I'm following in the night.. Thanks for all Sean..

Very genuine and humble, gone too soon. Will check out all his work.

Was lucky enough to see Cynic play a bunch of times locally here in South Florida back in the day. They were always amazing live. Sean was a true musician. One of a kind. He will be missed. RIP, brother.

Sean was an amazing musician. Nobody can play the drums like him.

I remember when I first heard this guy. It was in 1992, and my band had finished soundchecking at the Escape club in Salisbury, Massachusetts. The sound guy started playing this insanely fast song over the pa system. The fastest double bass drumming that I ever heard, but with a fusion twist over the top. It was the death song flattening of emotions. I instantly was a fan of this mans playing. The way he combined insane jazz fusion chops over machine gun double bass, whether it was 16th notes,16th note triplets, he delivered a truly breathtaking performance. And, doing it at 19 or 20 years of age makes it even more jaw dropping. Sean, your skills are missed, but will always be remembered.

RIP Sean, thank you for all !!!!!!

My favourite drummer ever. Got to meet him once in Gothenburg. Nice guy. Sean will be missed greatly. Rest in peace Sean ❤

Fantastic drummer. Great interview. Seems like a lovely guy.

Poor Sean. Fantastic drummer, fantastic. God help all you that loved him

Sean Reinert is a fucking God.

RIP Sean! Thankx for this episode

Love this interview so much. What exactly happened to him. 48 years old ! R.I.P Sean

Hail Sean Reinert Im amazed by his Music as well as the great success in his journey I still feel happy bcz upto this moment posting this comment I have not listend to Death "Human" completly I guess for me Sean is the liberation and he is right we must take oppetunity at the time we recive blessings I feel so releaved to complete my music's step in to the next level . Hail The Great Sean Reinert You are Immortal and you will always live in this cosmos as a King Ov The Music Language...... Long Live The King Ov Immortal Drumming. Thank You drumtalk for this soul healing Visuals

This guy got to play on the most incredible technical death metal record of all time. And at 19 years old. He will always be remembered for bring a completely over the top player.

Love the Gary Husband reference!!! RIP Sean.

RIP. One of thr greats.

Personable guy. Like that man. RIP

Incredible musician. I saw Cynic in the early 90's in a Jersey Shore club and they were on another planet talented. After the show I shook Sean's hand and told my guitar player I was going home to throw my drums away because his playing was light years ahead of mine. Focus is still one of my favorite albums.

What a cool fucken guy, just smart and chill, talented yet humble. Christ, just that last one is a rare quality, but seems to be something all the truly great guys share.

Rest easy, master Reinert.

Rest in peace! Truly a fantastic drummer!

Rest In Peace you beacon of talent

Rest in peace, Master.

I am not surprised that he mentioned Neil Peart first. Such an awful loss to lose Neil and Sean this month.

I cant believe it...R.I.P I wish I had met you at least once :_(

RIP... such a cool dude

RIP brother.

Rest in peace you beautiful man

Rip Sean.. you will be greatly missed

Glad I met you. Rest in peace man.

Sean has Very fluid playing and tasteful.....very very very good drummer, such a signature sound, Metal Jazzy...:)) when I hear his music it make me relax and think...:)

RIP Sean. He was such a good drummer.

Very sad to learn that he passed away recently. One of my favourite drummers ever.

RIP; amazing drummer.

R.I.P. Sean... he was a master at what he did.

RIP Sean & Neil :-(

A true master of his art...beautiful @!

Rest in Peace Sean!!

RIP man you will be missed.

Great musician. RIP.

Legend. RIP.

His drumming may be the reason Aliens decide to visit us. they will demand to see the human that made such sounds. and we will inform them that he has transcended this place. Rest in peace legend!!!!

Almost 5 years gone at this point but Focus will always be on my regular rotation. My favorite drummer of all time.

What a thorough professional and such interesting perspectives. Go Sean!

Sean is such an awesome drummer!! I always looked up to him and he was always a drummer that mixed great techniques in the music he was working on. Still a fan of his old and new music! Keep up the great work Sean!!

Rest in Peace brother.

goddamn was just going through a cynic listening session and noted how sick the drumming was. I looked up "Cynic Drummer" and learned of the sad news... I don't believe in fate or anything but the timing is curious as I don't check out cynic often, let alone look up a particular musician in a band... odd... but RIP
