  • I'm sorry Kevin, I like your playing but 1:35 is just lol.

  • damn, you nailed that blast beat at the end!

  • I am doing session drumming (I am the drummer in the video) so email me if you need drum tracks. All you have to do is email your mp3 without drums and I will write, record, and upload the drum tracks for you. Email me Bitches!!!! KevinTalleySite@gmail.com

  • kev you fuckin rule!!cheers from Portugal! \m/

  • Дерек Родди лучше, техничней, сложнее эту партию играл!!!!

  • GUITAR PLAYERS. Kevin Talley here (former DF Drummer). The best DYING FETUS guitar cover wins my Jackson Charvel guitar autographed by James Murphy. Download my drum tracks FREE and more details at my site DrummerKevinTalleyCom. Cheers! Kevin Talley.

  • Holy Shit!!! You're a crazy motherfucker!!! It took me months to nail this song!! In 8 HOURS!!!! Jeez, man, that's unreal! And so powerful!! That's gotta be the most energetic, powerful drumming Ive ever seen with a death metal band!!!!

  • yo kev what did u memorize from the song besides adding your own parts??????????//

  • Kevins style is so sick.one day I want to be close to that

  • i now have even more respect for you talley i knew you were in hate eternal but i never really saw you play and now i know your a SICK DRUMMER!!!!!

  • i bet dereks stuff is so hard to remember. he is one of my favorite drummers. him, john bonham, vitek rip, andols mostly his stuff on impossibility, buddy rich, and keith moon. you did a good job though. i bet its hard to fill dereks shoes and you did a good job.

  • jesus man, you must have to get new cymbals and heads after every show...the new Daath is amazing!

  • Amazing job Kevin! =D Hard fuckin' blasts!

    Never listen to those pussies... they wish they could play w/ Erik Rutan

  • awesome, kevin, r u reading a score in this video?

  • Yes... I only had about 8 hours of rehearsal for this tour so I wrote the song structures out. There was no way I was going to try to remember all that!! I always do this on last minute tour fill in situations. kev

  • I see!

    is it like a lead sheet?

  • @drummerkevintalley freaking amazing!

  • listen for the feet - impressive!

  • Considering the very short amount of time he had to learn these songs, I'd say he did a spot on job.

  • Wow, its great to see one great drummer covering another! This rules!

  • What a pity that elbow rules this man - Elbow man - LOL

  • WIN MY SNARE OR A ZILDJIAN CYMBAL. Search "Talley Dying fetus snare" to see the youtube video instructions. Cheers! Talley.

  • Been thinking about switching to Ahead drum sticks. I break new sticks every time I play live. Which model do you use?

  • kevin tally uses a drum chart?

  • Derrik Roddy is way better

  • if you say this sort of thing, i guarantee you are shit, & very unhappy with your playing, that's if you can even drum at all.

    stick together brother, we all love this music. go and practice & ga motivated to better these guys, but do it positively man.

  • hahaha derek is still better tool

  • who gives a shit whos better.

    this video and performance is awesome. nothing else needs to be added

    besides, talley and roddy are 2 completely different players

  • Amazing drumming style.

  • Hey there's no reason to compare Derek and Kevin in such negative ways. Both are amazing drummers that are at the top of the best extreme drummers out there.

  • What kind of sticks do you use? It may be the angle, or the video, but they look awfully short.

  • fucking good drumming

  • I like how Kevin Talley actually hits his drums .. lots of death metal drummers barely hit there drums. Kevin is a freaking beast at playing blast beats.

  • wtf is with all these 12 year olds having the balls to say kevin dint do a good job?! and that kevin should stick with Daath and chimaria?

    this is the fucking guy who made some of the most insane drumming in death metal, i mean shit this is one of the first guys who broke new ice for death metal drumming..

    Kevin is a fucking true representation of death metal drummers around the world.

  • Where was that filmed? Was that from the show I was at?

  • how are we suppose to know what show you were at?

  • he certainly gets his moneys worth from his snare head, his hand is all over the shop

  • Very impressive but, i think derek roddy plays it more precise, but still very good from kevin.

    Does anyone what hate eternal intended with the lyrics of this song,???? very powefull writing

  • Facing All Fears...Uprising Against Government Oppression...Conquering Death!!

  • I think that this song is about how a sinned person's soul who died is on his path to heaven. Thus along this path the soul realises the evil he has comiited in his life, so he shall "face all his fears and the path to the eternal gods."

    This song is my favorite song of the I, Monarch album.

    Eternal hails to Hate Eternal!

  • kevin is definitely one of the best death metal drummers out ther. He play with such energy and speed. I'm practice blasting 2 hours a day, would love to attain that kind of speed and intesnity some day.

  • Sick as always Kevin! Honestly though I think you need to get back into death metal again... Daath is alright but I think your talents would be better put to use in a real death metal band. You've got such great groove and power (I don't know who hits harder, you or Mike Smith!) anyway, keep up the good work.

  • Boomertee you just an asshole have you got any drum skills ? i don't think so. you're just jealous because he's godlike and i think i'm better than you but talley kicked by ass with his colossal blast beats !! I LOVE YOU KEVIN !!!

  • nice try although i think derek roddys style fitted HE much better. Plus i hate Ahead sticks...yuck

  • Derek Roddy luled.

  • Dude that was fucking sick.

  • Kevin Talley is one of the best metal drummers out there.. I'm in the band im in cos of daath and chimaira and stuff, still working on getting my double bass and blast beats as god as him tho!

  • Perfect !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Fuck !

  • you look like a madman. and hit pretty hard. thats how metal should be played. not with fingers and ankles.

  • uh actually no, you can use your full leg up to about 220 if you built up your quads ;-)

  • uh actually no, you can use your full leg up to about 220 if you built up your quads ;-)

  • You're an idiot.

    Lombardo doesn't.

  • i don't know how the fuck you can blast with ahead sticks, dude. i tried blasting with them and they just kill my hands. you've gotta have hands of rubber or something. either way, this was killer. hail!

  • kevin ur fucking awesome!

  • Well, I viewed this video a while back, can't remember what I thought of it then.

    Good drumming obviously, but I dunno if your high energy style is right for HE... I mean you gotta conserve fucking energy for a whole set of fucking HE!.. but I'm sure you did well Talley most shows so good on ya.

    I think Daath is pretty gay though, just being honest.

  • way to fuck up a perfectly good hate eternal song bro

  • haha all this shit is wrong..great drummers such as kevin have their own stle like derek,like mike smith etc..dont compare them just listen and feel the vibes from their drumsticks!and by the way listen to killing on adrenaline people and hear what tight bad ass motherfucking great playing kevin is doing.Way before some other great drummers..way to go kevin!

  • You're a great drummer but, no Derek Roddy. I realize that you were not out to be Derek or immitate what Derek does, but do not make Derek look like a quitter. He couldn't keep up with the finances of touring and not making enough money off of it, from what I've heard. There is a soul who could've done better. His name is Reno Killerich. You're a good drummer but, this type of death metal is definitely not your thing. Stick to Daath, or whoever you play for.

  • Well i said he was a quitter because he quit 5 days before the tour hoping that hate eternal would have to cancel. He should have given them notice. they knew about the tour 3 months in advance. Derek is good at what he does and i respect that and I have hung out with him plenty of times. But NO musician should do what he did to his supposed "bros" Eric and Randy... and he knows this.

  • Well said, talley!!!

  • i think hate eternal knew why they chose kevin so all u mr know it alls stop talking shit.Kevin is mindblowing wake up!Derek is great to,there is no need to compare drummers cause everyone has his own style.Its music people so enjoy it first before u talk shit!

  • people stop comparing derek and kevin.every drummer has his own unique style.If hate eternal choose kevin for the tour i am sure they knew what they were doing so fuck off!!listen to dying fetus and overthrow by misery index and if u can play better than kevin then talk shit..assholes!by the way kevin you rule man.

  • Are you guys fucking serious? First and foremost, like the guy below me said, you're there to entertain people. What's the harm in getting into it while you perform? Secondly, Kevin is definitely in the same league with Derek Roddy; so don't talk as if he can't hold a candle to him. When I think of the best death metal drummers, the name "Kevin Talley" ALWAYS comes to mind. Keep doing your thing Kev; screw these people.

  • Good job, nicely played :D Great drumming

  • kevin talley did a fantastic job. definatley one of my favorites. he may not be derek roddy but he can shred on a hate eternal anytime.

  • hate eternal is hard to play, and with technique and speed its a level to high for you i think. only derek can do this job good!

  • was this at New england metalfest?

  • People who dont think this was a fucking amazing feat after only 8 hours to learn a full HATE ETERNAL set and still play it upto speed and correct - ok not to Dereks exact patterns but so fucking what - i doubt derek even plays perfect to the record every time he performs - do people who are obviously unexperienced in being in a band just come on here to slag off things they no nothing about it takes about fucking 4 hours to teach people 1 song most of the time.

  • What the hell is wrong with you people? Kevin did a great job here, ESPECIALLY given the fact that he had 8 hours to prepare. Can any of you drum like that? No, so shut the fuck up. Great job, Kevin.

  • Elvaak and scottius STFU! Kevin is Awesome and if you dont like it go fuck You're self!....I have the Hinderers and its an awesome Album

  • dude we just put together a daath song... it's killer!! thanks for the support!

  • duuude, you are so freaking fast ... and even have nice breaks an changes in your drumming. i wish i would be half that way (even if i don´t want to play grind/death). rock on!

  • I don't like this version... not very bad performance, but, the interpretation isn't as good as Reno (and of course Derek himself...)

    In my opinion, the problem comes from the sticks... the Ahead (if i see well) are too heavy to play fast and surgically... moreover, I find they vibe strangely, and they are to hard to control for the elbow... back to the wood! ^^

    I agree with Elvaak

  • derik is a pussy ,try to shoot me a virus,i will beat your brains in, i am looking for you 1%

  • trying to shoot me a virus,i am going to beat your brains in fuck boy

  • You did an awesome job dude! And what an honour it must have been to play with Rutan! Great to see you put alot of energy into, very different from Roddy's style of sitting there looking like he doesn't even want to be there!

  • yes jamming with eric was fucking killer. best dude ever too.

  • Great job Mr. Talley! 

    I didn't know you only had 8 hours of rehearsal with HE... that must have been hard to pull off but you did it flawless.

    I really admire your playing man, is just so so fuckin' amazing :D. I've been familiar to your work since I listened to Dying Fetus's "Destroy The Opposition" YOU DEFINITELY KICKED ASS ON THAT RECORD! and since then I've never been disappointed anytime I listen your work... Keep it up Kevin!

  • Why are people saying shit like "Kevin doesn't deserve to be playing with Hate Eternal" and all that kinda shit? If he didn't deserve it, he wouldn't have fucking done it would he. I think he did a great job, they'd sound a shit load worse if he wasn't there at all, or if any of the hating pricks on here tried playing instead.

  • yeah great job on ye song. i hope to be like you one day kevin lol, maybe we'll have a beer or two if i cant get on a decent touring schedule >.<

  • we should def have a couple bruskies!!!

  • i usually listen to thrash but this is really nice drumming. :) i'm a drummer myself and i'm going pro in a year, i would love if you could maybe give a few tips sometime :)

  • i usually listen to thrash but this is really nice drumming. :) i'm a drummer myself. i would love if you had a bit of time to give me a few tips =)

  • KEVIN TALLEY IS THE SHIT. PERIOD.

  • this guy knows what he is talking about. period.

  • it is so easy to comment when you're not playing something isn't it ELVAAK? especially with 5 days rehearsal. Very few dudes could have pulled that set together in that amount of time but Kevin did..but i doubt you know what i'm talking about since i'm sure you spend the majority of the time talking shit on the net sucker....

  • it was 3 days of rehearsal... about 2 hrs, 3 hrs, and then 4 hours on the 3rd day when eric was able to jam with us. the first 2 days were just me and randy on bass.

  • I love his/your style, it's like surfer dude on speed, where as Roddy and other are more "tappers" which is cool too, but this is way better. Tight, that's all i can say.

  • wabunga!!! surfer on speed!!

  • how can any of u dumbasses hate. kevin has been around the scene for as long or probably longer than derek. they may not have the same styles of playing , but they are both elite at what they do. how can u bash one of the founding fathers of death metal drumming. u are fukin rediculous and truly have nothing to do in life.

    kevin i think u did a great job , especially since u only had 8 hours of jam time. and at the end of the day , u brought a different flavor to the songs. good job bro

  • you're all fucking gay. kevin talley has played with some brutal metal bands. you guys are asses to give him shit. he's the one playing in front of all those people. fuck you guys.

  • yeah fuck 'em

  • kevin you did a fucking fantastic job with or with out the handicap of how long you had to rehearse

  • haha... it looks too funny how he is jerkin around all the time, as if he would have some crabs in his pants... you got tourrettes syndrome?!

  • this is sick, i love hate eternal. kevin i really don't think you were given enough freedom to do what you wanted on the self titled chimaira which is a shame cos youre such a drum demon. i think you left for the best

  • Why try to fukin compare the two? They are both excellent, with their own unique styles of playing.

    Fantastic Kevin, respect.

  • Damn I love this song. Nice job but I miss Derek.

  • I'll agree with danoninonino. With as many people as there are playing death metal, it takes a lot to stand out. As far as I'm concerned, the only ones really worth following any more are drummers on the same level as Roddy, Longstreth, Kollias, Pitruzzella, Darren Cesca and Antonio Donadeo. Not to say Talley sucks or anything, he's way fucking better than me. Why else would I watch the vid? :)

  • I went to one of the shows on this tour. It was cool to see you and Andols in the same show. Anyways, good luck with Daath.

  • Dear Kevin Talley ,

    I just want you to know that I think you are fucking great :)

    Don't mind the comments from these fucks .

    I agree , derek Roddy is a very good drummer , but your playing is as good as his playing , even better at some points

    You amuse people instead of just playing your drumparts.

    Respect for that

    Tom

  • thank you sir.

  • Screw the haters Kevin, you have your own style as you said, keep it up man.

    Awesome job.

  • wow you see that guys. this is a good comment. I gots my own style. Remember... it's not about how fast or techy the drums are... it's about how good you make the drums fit with the music.

  • Absolutely awesome! Goddamn you rule Kevin

  • Guys, kevin is fucking tight and he hits hard as hell at high tempos, his feet can keep up with anything and he headbangs when he plays... Hes one of the best metal drummers around today.

  • What the fuck is wrong with you fools? This is awesome playing, really good and finally we see a drummer who looks like he's having fun, movin all over the place and fucking shit up.

    Keep up the good work Kevin and dont worry about fools who sit alone in their room talking shit on the internet...get a life you cunts

  • Anyone who talks shit about Kevin can fuck off! Kevin Rocks!

  • fuck yea go kevin!!!!!!

  • Are you still drumming in HE?

  • no i just filled in for them.

  • listen! half the numbskulls on youtube don't know drumming. he may have the will to be brutal, but isn't. he's not bad, but isn't much to talk about. there are lots that murder kevin. george kollias, tony laureano, derek roddy, nicholas barker, zbigniew robert prominski, jan axel blomberg,tim yeung. in technique, creativity, versatility, he is far from good. talking about best drummers, they're not the best, there are lots of fusion,jazz etc drummers that do things they can't.

  • hahahahah.  you are awesome cause you just named off some drummers that can hardly even play drums. Only a few of us know who i am talking about but you just prooved to me that you don't have a clue. That's ok man... you will figure it out someday. George fucking rules tho!!!!

  • Kevin.. the way you did that song was way to "Slipknot".. and Dereks version is brutal and fits the music no mather what you say! and derek did quit because he dident have the money to tour anymore.. thats not really his fault now is it?!

  • Too 'Slipknot'? Explain plz?

  • Dude, every person has its own way to play drums maybe this is his. At least when i play drums i like to move more things then just feet and fingers rofl. So just fuck off if you dont think this version is brutal and dont listent o it b.t.w.

  • Hey whatsup with kollias headbanging and stuff is that also to slipknot?. Roddy banged his head also u fucktard.

  • I like when drummers put on a show... that's why i do it. Plus i like to head band and get into the music... I usually headband at practice. Aww... you're right it's not his fault. Are you gonna be ok?

  • you never can really tell if that is the real reason he left or not...trust me...most of the time bands will do that as a professional thing.

  • dude, talley is a pioneer of death metal drumming. probably one of DEREK's inspirations. i garantee that neither of these guys have an ego about each others playing. its mutual respect. and i think talley brouht a different flavor to the mix.

    Kevin, do not be affected by any of this negative bullshit. u bring power and energy to any style u play. i can say ur one of the most confident metal drummers ive seen on a kit. fukin hails man

  • it's the negative I like man... it's fucking awesome.  I def don't have an ego cause I am not the fastest, nor the most precise. I just play and jam out. Derek has never had an ego imo cause he just smokes and talks shop... which is awesome.

  • said it once, and i'll say it again, kevin talley is just another drummer, nothing special at all.

  • Dude, id say hes special until you show some fucking video that you could do this song tighter and better and more brutal. PROOVE ME WRONG IF YOU CAN ASSHOLE!.

  • and to danoninonino: Who exactly are you?

  • No, kevin is actually a great drummer. His style may not fit very well with Hate Eternal (personally if i was there live i would have thought he did awesome)but he is one badass drummer, he is a hard hitter and groovy for metal drumming.

  • your an idiot..plain and simple, kevin talley is a beast machine on the kit..and if u say he's just another drummer..well lets see you put up a video of yourself playing some misery index or any of his other work...POSER

  • i love you kevin you`re the best

  • Fucking Amazing one of the best death metal drummer !! WATCH HIS SLAYER AUDITION

  • dude you are a fucking beast on the kit, Daath is kick ass too.

  • two footer hahah lame but hes alright if he can jam with Hate Eternal

  • Two-footing is NOT lame, dude.

  • two footing gives the blast a better feel imo. although i use it,the one footer is too robotic so you have to be careful. listen to dave culross on malevolent creation "eternal" album... holy shit his two footers have remarkable feel. that's why i started doing them. I sat right behind him on that tour. he was unreal.

  • Wisely said K-Tal.

    I personally only 1-foot when the blast is below 200BPM - faster than that I use 2. I don't get what the big deal is about it though ...

  • But dude, why even care if he plays 2 foot or 1 foot? If it sounds good then it is good.

  • very fast with cirurgic precision

  • Kevin Talley rules !!

  • kevin your a great drummer but why couldn't you play the song the way it was meant to be played. i don't mean to sound like a dick but don't you like roddy's version?

  • Well I only had 8 hours of rehearsal with them so I was just trying not to train wreck.  We were just trying to get thu it... and we did. Believe me I did not want to be compared to Derek. Derek is a bad ass but no, I don't think his drum parts are that memorable... they are just bad ass. Anyway, how about this... maybe Derek shouldn't have quit his band 5 days before a tour. There was absolutely no reason for that. That's just my opinion. Talley

  • Sorry man, but you don't deserve to play among such lords as hate eternal. You played like a show-off on this and it was way too overdone. Such is something Derek frowned upon.

  • I like to put on a show and Derek doesn't. We are different people with diff styles... why you gotta hate? Of course Derek is gonna hate the way I play his songs. I hate the way people play my songs. It's like someone is bangin ur girl!!! Haha. And why is it that you give me shit when the very dudes IN Hate Eternal thought I did a great job. Sucka!!! This is fun... ur turn. K Tal in yo face!!!!!

  • Kevin, there isn't a soul on this planet who could have done better, You did an amazing job and I applaud you, good job, keep it up, I wonder what the guys in Chimaira thought when they saw you playing this, and I agree, put on a show, you're there to entertain the people, not look bored.

  • im sure this is really kevin talley..gimme a fuckin break dude. youre so irrelevant to metal and to drumming in general its almost embarassing. fuck you and your 5 rung "metalcore" band

  • I wonder what a "5 rung metalcore" band is? welcome mr. retard boy. hahahaha. now wassup!!! When was I ever in a metalcore band? are you talking about the Red Chord? Irrelevant... hmm.. I've played with 5 Ozzfest bands. Well... I guess Ozzfest is pretty irrelevant to metal.... right? hahaha wassup now????!!!!!! hahahah

  • good fuckin drumming man,you are better then derek all the way bro,i love it he thinks he is the best in the world you passed him up love it666

  • right on man!!!

  • you dont put on a show when you play the drums you just play you moron never compare yourself to roddy keep praticing you need it

  • hahaha u must be twelve. I like you tho cause you remind me of myself... a total shithead!!

  • And you dont deserve to watch this piece of bad ass video.

  • i like how you try to act like you know derek roddy very personally...lol

  • R U talking the me or someone else?

  • fuck you Talley you worthless sonofabitch! what the fuck do you know about Dereks situation? probably not a goddamned thing, how long has your band been around? not near as long as Derek has been in the game, so again fuck you. Just shut up and pretend to matter, you pigfucking cocksucker.

  • fuck yeah dude you are awesome!!! Actually now that you bring it up... DYING FETUS was way bigger band before Hate Eternal was ever started. In fact I played in suffocation with original hate eternal guitarist doug cerrito and i toured with morbid angel when in dying fetus... both before Hate Eternal was created. Sure he did some stuff before that, but nothing to really speak of. "in cold blood" and some divine empire stuff. I liked it but he def got him name with h.e.

  • If that's true then fair enough man, solid effort. I don't think you fit in well with Hate Eternal though.

  • I don't like playing derek's parts so I was not good at them... We only had about 8 hrs of rehearsal and i did an ok job but I do think that eric and I could make some killer music together.

  • respects to talley ppl

  • i saw him live with hate eternal in georgia on the arch enemy/chimaira tour he drums for chimaira too
