[Lifesucksdie123]

not enough notes dude.



[deathmetal226]

im waching this, baked

[iDrum628]

you dont expect a guy in a collared shirt to not only listen to nile, but to be able to cover a song on drums haha

[ifjballaiattila]

Ez geciszar öcsém!!!:D:D:D

[JamesGoncalves]

Toca pra caralho, meu!

[reffo]

Yes, but can he play Smoke on the water?

[BlackGuitar265]

remember = this guy is not human.....

[hydewylde666]

wow this guy kicks some serious ass, why all the shit talking from people !!!

[soocool78]

that snare sounds awful

[MakeMeInfamous421]

I wish my hands and feet moved that fast >.<

[VinjaKanja]

is the snare triggered?

[1mikeditto]

wow  how is this enjoyable ;dflbhlfm/ehkvgjlk;dkdtnm,l

[theperfectcell6]

Arkaik is looking for a drummer ;) 

[JankSmanks]

LYK3 0MGGGGG TH1S I5 SOO0O0 P3RF3CT.

[doogsters101]

im trying to do the fast snares iTS HARD!!!

[blight4hire]

its an alright cover for such a fast song. it'll be better if its following the music and more on time in the blasts and the rolls at certain parts. still mad props!

[chr6s66]

Another BADASS performance

[log7871]

can i say HOT FUCKING DAMN ITS POSSIBLE!!!!!!

[perdimicanal]

it's so funny all this comments of people saying like "ohh can do it better, this is bad" i think they must grow up.

[TPBThommTPB]

0:50 orgasm.

[Blastphemer]

@JankSmanks o.O are you actually playing any instrument ? lol

[JankSmanks]

@Blastphemer yeah. i play drums and it's not impossible to attempt. are you the one playing in this video?

[Doneyear]

@JankSmanks Yeah, he's the one playing.

[Doneyear]

@JankSmanks And actually, everything seems to be good and on beat except the rolls are a BIT slower than Kollias' but that's very minor.

The song is Permitting the Noble Dead to Descend to the Underworld by Nile, if you wanted to look it up.

[chr6s66]

@JankSmanks Yeah, that is Blastphemer playing. Do you not know who this guy is? Fucking Jan Benkwitz thats who. Look him up and learn your metal!

[nigelic]

@Blastphemer fuk that guy lol hes just being dumb you are definatly on beat and you are amazing keep it up!!

[cresentman]

@JankSmanks No, its perfectly in time. are you fucking def

[drummin4InTheShadows]

since when does Bear Grylles drum? lol

[onsktreil]

I'm not sure if anyone pointed this out, but the actual song that he's covering is called, "Permitting the Noble Dead to Descend to the Underworld"

The little buy section for iTunes and Amazon is wrong.

[TheChrispablo]

harte kindheit

[Semmei]

du Technik FREAK du!! respect

[paulhoude666]

watch your back man you dont have a good position to play drums ...

[vsv23te]

killer

[drumfisch]

der höhepunkt des liedes mit dem hohen gitarrenzeug ist unfassbar. der typ hat sich lupenreine technik erarbeitet

[Alox14]

This is just the kind of video which proves that it doesn't matter what type of clothes you are wearing. Being metal is in your fucking soul!

[crunkawarness]

faded blue jeans are not metal

[Doneyear]

@crunkawarness Caring what people wear make you gay.

[derLokkas]

didn't mic the snare-bottom ? i'm missing the "tschhhhhh"

[Themusicdude10]

Dude what the fuck, Jeans really?

[Frommerhold]

Are you only using the fingers for the fast blastbeats, no moeller-technique? Well maybe it's kind of too fast for moeller? What do you think?

[SHStilgandr]

Das geilste ist, das er eine ziemlich perfekte Technik spielt, und dabei trotz der enormen geschwindigeit, vielen Fills und Tempowechseln dabei so entspannt aussieht als würd er gerad den Playboy lesen! Thumbs up!!!

[nemoleblero]

@Blastphemer <3 the kick sound! What for a drum module do you use?

[Blastphemer]

@nemoleblero kick sample is selfmade sample

[minkusink6]

i'm sure its cleaner on the album and from the looks of it i don't think he'd function right if he moved his left hand or if his snare wasn't so legit tough stuff tho so good job

[GISSIN]

holy fucking shit!

[666DoomM666]

Nice Veryyy FAST

[jshields01]

I request dechristianize by vital remains. Satan speed you fucking machine \m/

[ironmaiden0510]

fuck ur fast dude, where are u from?

[Kevinkoch2443]

He´s the Thomas Lang of Blastbeats!!!!

[monkeyman913462]

what the fuck man! thats seriously immence :L looks fake, no joke :L i know its not though :O

[axacingdude]

Hey i have the same par of vans :D

[kestrelrace01]

2 thumbs up. It was so clean and stayed so tight. Great Job.

[epicprogressive]

this guy is fucking great!! no doubt but travis orbin would definately own this guy!!

[Blackdrumer93]

dude u r amazing! i wish i was tht good!

[Misdirecting]

how the fuck is he soooo fast on the bass?!?!?!?!?!?! AWESOME

[MASSRCOR]

@Misdirecting ALOT of practice is the key... and Axis pedals will help alot too lol.

[Bostonbird733]

pretty sure kollias does one foot blasts in the beginning. but i cnt do better so good job! haha

[JOEYJORDlS0N]

better watch out George Kollias. ;D

[Remedy6sic6]

any tips on getting faster with hands and feet?

[CJMdrummer666]

you are simply too amazing for words, that was probably the tightest, most accurate and best death metal cover i have ever seen on youtube, i am at a loss of words of how i can compliment you

[marralis]

And HUGE PROPS TO YOU MAN!!! i can only play like the first 30 seconds of the song and then my hands give just get way to fuckin tired to go on lol

[marralis]

By the way nice yamaha customs i have some but its only a five piece :(

[Windeltester]

Unterrichtest du eigentlich auch?

[maniacspidertrash133]

Damn.

[FallenGrace2905]

Great video. Extremely tight and accurate, only problem is the fills are not. Seem quite improvised. Fantastic drummer never the less

[breathingreflection]

Haha you do the same thing with your left foot that Kollias does--that side-to-side thing.

[SeedOfCannibalism]

uGe has gotten better than you. not speed wise, but accuracy.

[benjahTrum]

haha you dont look like a extreme guy but this is awesome!

[Rhino080696]

jesus fucking christ you're the best fucking drummer i've ever seen haha

[Freemind4eva]

What song is it in the background ?? From Nile's....

[zmanbrody]

I can tell he isn't hearing the exact drum parts but if he listened to the song a bit more he would do it almost perfect. Probs perfect by now though...

[lukeassdelirium]

hey blastphemer!

ich muss mir deine nile und behemoth covers mind. 1 mal die woche neben den vids von derek roddy, george kollias, cuglur yurut und romain goulon anschauen! dieses technisch saubere spiel ist ein wahnsinn!!!

außerdem ist alles super abgenommen und kommt sehr gut ans originale dran!

vl scherts dich mal necrophagist zu covern?!

apropo: in österreich werden wir im ausland auch nur auf kängurus, und josef fritzl beschränkt ;)

liebe grüße, luki aus österreich

[imameeble]

Dude i do not like nile but i respect them as a musician.. the heavything i like is probably whitechapel or job for a cowboy.. so not into this brutal music, but if u can cover George Kollias playing the double bass with heal down then i have to say u are a great great drummer! congratz on geting to were u are today

[Remedy6sic6]

DAMN DUDE!!! whats kind of technique or practice do you use for your hand and feet speed?

[Akrios1337]

Do you use buzz rolls at all? trying to see but im unsure.

[xiDeliverUs]

1:37 ... wow.

[ChrisAdlerWannaBe]

i saw alot of mistakes but it still sounded amazing and even though i said u made mistakes im not sayin im better

[brandondrum27]

Amazing Video the finger technique is flawless and love the insane bass rolls!

[Remedy6sic6]

damn dude! how did u get so good?

[Riiivinn]

For any upcoming videos, dont make such long intros :P

[jerabya69]

that was beyond great 5* for sure dude

[VolatusSomnium]

awsome man. fuckin love those whome the gods detest. george kollias kicks ass. ive been drumming for about 5 years. any tips u or anyone could give me on techniques for abillitating the left hand fingers? i find especially whilt blasting that it holds me back quite a bit.

[cannonfan5]

Dude I think you have a really cool attitude towards drumming, and that's the same way i feel, you don't get better unless you're just enjoying drumming. I think that's awesome, keep it up man. 5 Stars for sure!

[novembre8211]

Damn dude....I couldn't play like that if my life depended on it...you could easily fill in for Kollias :P You need to join some death metal band post haste if you haven't already

[puperbratwurst]

ja toll klingt aber scheiße-.-

[ccdeanolad]

He knows!

[brutaldeath15]

wow... you have the same finger technique than Marco Pitruzzella.... amazing... your drumming is fucking amazing... you are my hero :P... hahaha... excellent man

[Notmeiampwnage]

Holy fuck.

[expliotedhawk]

wow you play heels down...nice!

[ACMetan]

no he doesn't..... look how his legs move, and you can see how his left leg moves

[NoStickTricks]

yes he does...

[justinoakley999]

that LEFT HAND. CHRIST! a vascular surgeon doesnt have that control... seriously, he could balance an egg on that wrist.

bravo buddy. go on and do great things.

[luisluvsblastbeats54]

i like nile because of gearge kollias but the guitars sound sloppy in almost all the albums... and whats up with all the long ass song names

[Missworld33]

this is the sickest song to cover. you got this dialed. you rule.

[Drummerwalter]

und ich bin wiedereinmal beeindruckt^^

[666Shithead]

do you use triggers ?

[bamanpiderman]

wtf! this fool is a fucking robot!! its badass!

[arubianboy101]

VERY NICE!!!!!!

[gh2master101]

i just realized how damn fast your fucking foot is going. Your absolutely amazing.

[dinkydinky]

This is the pinnacle of youtube drumming

[Lermasd]

Insane.

[travis351]

to all the people who used to talk shit about your snare sound. now that snare is fuckin bad ass. keep up the good work

[UnderTheMushroom]

dude your pretty fucking good

[nicolasrivera]

Holy Sh.... i'm speechless.......just fuc...ing incredible!!!!

[MKiller5]

Have you thought about lowering your toms?

No offense, but some of your rolls aren't 100% clean ^^

Just had to say it xD

[RoyalFreshness6]

that was a fucking douchy comment dude,

[UKrocketeer]

@MKiller5 yeah sure, he'll just shove his toms into his bass drum jk

[420deadlysinner]

1:36 = win

[joshgraff2553]

will you have gay sex with me?

[manjenson]

It's not gay sex if it's with someone this awesome at drums.

[sk8nmetalpsycho]

verdammt geil

[BaRteq90]

Oh my fucking god...

Your play is INSANE!

I give up...

[guitar4life33]

Holy......holy shit.. This is outstanding. You sir, are a phenominal drummer..

[thedakon]

Whooaa, that was great!!! you play better than so many drummers in bands which play at big fests...

[gh2master101]

♥

[hyrael2]

No more to say than that.

[blastbeatfreak85]

@blastphemer thats true you do have a diffrent technique and and thats exaly how i do it fingers on snare moeller on ride btw your speed work out on how to get to 260 its really helpful what i do is play moeller and finger on the snare i always work on cleaning it up to the point where it sounds like singles when it sounds like singles thats how i know im doing it right

[oveerkul]

cool, how many years of experience do you have?

[hyrael2]

he's like 20... Do the math.

[oveerkul]

oh ye, let me just calculate when he started playing from his age, oh wait, I cant...

he could have started as a wonderchild at 6, or at 15, how the hell would I know?

maybe thats why i asked...

[jneild]

Your playing is amazing, very tight indeed. Do you have a band playing originals?

[Blastphemer]

@jneild I do session currently for Absentia Lunae, Antares Predator, Cease Of Breeding, Galskap.

[lixbitchslaughter]

@Blastphemer Wow Galskap are awesome... There here from my Town Bremen, i have seen them often live... but heared nothing about you playing there now...

[Blastphemer]

@lixbitchslaughter I recorded the drums for the upcoming album

[FutileExistence]

@Blastphemer

you did not do the semiquavers from 2:07 ish to 2:10

[aeblaster]

completley insane! you sir, are a monster of technique, you've come SO far, KEEP GOING!

[overlord3069]

that was fantastic.

[blastbeatfreak85]

@blastphemer would the moller technique help ?

[blastbeatfreak85]

@blastphemer hey do you think you can help me with something ? i can now play 220 with my hands doing singles but for blasting thats where the problem is would the moller technique i play singles to build up strenth on my weak hand my weak hand is my right hand im left handed what do you recommend please reply it would be very helpful

[Blastphemer]

@blastbeatfreak85 Practise the moeller technique for the hand you play HH, Ride, Cymbals. Get this technique down pretty good then use it on the drums. Your snare hand has to be finger using. My moeller technique is different compared to all others.... I hold my stick 100% closed. that means I hold the stick tight with all my fingers and the wrist is doing all the up/down work.

[abacacus]

@Blastphemer

Just out of curiosity, why do you say the snare hand HAS to use fingers? I can blast all wrist at 260-270 for a full set no issues.

[Blastphemer]

@abacacus im getting tired of the "i can" post... I have never seen any videos of them

[abacacus]

@Blastphemer

Ok, gimme a few days and I'll see what I can do. My cameras not the best, but I suppose it's better then nothing.

[c4b0000m]

@Blastphemer As far as I know George Kollias uses his wrists, I'll have to examine his technique more but I'm fairly certain he does.

[MichaelThompson19683]

@Blastphemer Its true it is doable, I will be getting a video up soon. Dont get me wrong your amazing at drums. But you can be a bit brutal towards people with your comments. Just use the mentality that without footage its fiction. And ignore the people that try and be internet douchebags. Theres thousands out there so get used to it. :)

[ACMetan]

@Blastphemer How about Derek Roddy.....

[sexypoulpe]

@Blastphemer Derek Roddy actually blasts with wrists...

[nigelic]

@Blastphemer never mind them, i only wish i could use ur finger technique, its very hard to learn and use and u do it very well, amazing cover and keep it up jan

[ibaiez]

@Blastphemer ur such a badass dude i love you no homo

[ACMetan]

@Blastphemer your right hand at second high-hat is a proof for that. Snare bounces more than cymbal afterall.... I try to combine finger and wrist together, though I can't reach those speeds. Peace out

[666Salvationisgone]

@Blastphemer you should definity try out for vital remains new drummer you would kick so much ass

[breathingreflection]

@abacacus Show us, then.

[abacacus]

@breathingreflection

working on it. Currently on vacation in ontario without a camera. I'll ask the people \i'm staying with if they have one though.

[MikeAsHimself]

@abacacus If you really are doing that.. I don't think you should get used to it.. It's probably not good for you to be using all wrist at such a high speed.

[abacacus]

@MikeAsHimself

That depends on grip. French grip like you see Jan using in these videos, you're right. It's terrible for your wrist. German grip though, it's a very natural motion that won't harm your wrists.

[MetallicaOrTrivium]

@abacacus Yo its impossible to blast a song like this wrist... after not even 1 minute your fucked... you have to finger blast or gravity

[abacacus]

@MetallicaOrTrivium Go tell that to Derek Roddy or Steve Asheim... both of whom blast all wrist.

[RiseWithTheFalen4]

@MetallicaOrTrivium false, watch the actual drummer from nile [george kollias do it] he wrists the whole time, nothing more.

[voltwings]

@abacacus dude straight up, i hate seein people use these tiny ass drum sticks and tune their heads as tight as they will go and pussy fut their way around the drum kit.

[abacacus]

@voltwings I know. Most people who use fingers really don't have much power. Blastphemer is one of the few I've who really whack the snare with their fingers.

Oh, and while I'm thinking about it... George Kollias blasts with his wrists to I think.

[RiseWithTheFalen4]

@abacacus yeah he does wrists, but can do any technique really!

[ANDRExDEY]

eh... how? lol

[scaxxomaxx]

1:36 HOLY SH...

[UltimateThrashAttack]

Awesome.. I want to see the rest of the album..You are a monster..

[bernipichla]

omg wie schnell ist dein doublebass bei 2:40 ?

[Blastphemer]

@bernipichla 256

[wtfnumbnuts]

HO...LY  SHIT

[Ramsh666]

Great job! 5 stars

[abcmetal]

could you make some intruction video about your way of practise and shit :D

[SoloKeeper47]

look at his channel! there is a video about how he practice.

[bigbossmatt]

what is the bpm on this?

[hyrael2]

9999999999

[Blastphemer]

@bigbossmatt 256

[superball57]

If I close my eyes while listening to this video, I'd swear it's Kollias! \m/

[panzerkamerad]

@superball : Indeed, man. One of the tightest playing I've heard so far on youtube.

God, I love this sharp snare sound ! Groovy.

[infectiousfiles]

you're amazing but the drums for this song are kinda boring ..always the same ..specially the fills

awesome job though

[necrocannibal]

Awesome Jan. I have been subscribed for a couple of years now and watched your progression. You are really great and I really enjoy listening and watching your drumming.

\m/

[Ty2052]

ya dude me too.

[Hex3d]

Basltphemer, you using triggers for your pedals?

[calvinjaramillo]

of course, you can tell because all the bass drum hits have the same intensity and even more obvious is that high mids trigger sample tone.

[refaey]

Brilliant - 5 stars from me.

What sticks do you use if I may ask?

[Andrexthor]

OFFTOPIC

The intro of the video was unnecessarily long, this is youtube, we can pause to read.

OFFTOPIC

Man you are very skilled, and your double bass drum is just amazing. I love to watch you playing. Cheers.
