[novembre8211]

Nice nice video but I do not understand what is being said :(

[batako0o]

You just have to learn to understand french :) But they are from France and the way they talk is just too fucking annoying

[votingFN]

Journaliste de merde ... Dingue !!

[atrumluminarium]

an other member of my-favourite-drummer-list:

so now it consists of derek roddy, george kollias, pete sandoval and Romain Goulon

they're in no particular order^^

[omophagist666]

@atrumluminarium agree to that but what about brann dailor and gene hoglan.

[atrumluminarium]

@omophagist666 never heard of em. but im sure they deserve to be in my list :)

6:56 - "COME AT ME BRO"

[vacateistheword]

@axisofdeath Derek once said the only guys he's ever seen hit 255 bpm live are himself, George, T Laureano & Orifist..check out his forum..and yeah awesome drummer man

[sexypoulpe]

quelle snare utilise-t-il ? elle sonne d'enfer !

[LITUS121212]

I LOVE THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[xXParanormalPunxXx]

Those three people that disliked this better post a video response better than this :P

[Hheawy]

XD at the face 6:56 "I just pwned you"

[2019sickness2019]

@Hheawy LOL

[MrAske]

Are those trick pedals or Axis?

[KristasLP]

@MrAske Axis.

[Savonfou59240]

Ce mec est une brute épaisse......... Le meilleur batteur de grind qui m'ai été donner d'entendre dans ma longue carrière de musicien(32 ans de musique). Romain, tu devrais faire plus parler de toi à mon humble avis. J'ai adoré ton show-panel de nécrophagiste. Quand t'attaqueras tu à des groupes comme aeon, anata, flesh consumed ou encore defeat sanity. Il parait que putride pile recrute, vu qu'il joue avec des séquences.

Bien à toi, François.

[raokin466]

@Savonfou59240 pourquoi serait-il une brute épaisse, c'est un dieu !!

[lolobout]

5:55 ya pas l'air dans les temps avec ses pieds... sé p-e juste une impression mais...

[Blacklorigine]

@lolobout C'est parce que la grosse caisse de gauxhe (qui est en contre-temps) est plus proche de la cam et que donc on l'entend plus fort, ce qui créé l'illusion de décalage, mais romain est précis comme une machine, crois moi ;)

[pantherpincher1]

So Fuckin Crushing! Beautiful Roll 3:10.

[vacateistheword]

Fucking hell this guy's good!

[skater15153]

@vacateistheword uhh ya...just a tiny bit good...he's insane

[Discreetarcher3]

that snare is awesome

[DelightfulSpleen]

mais une blast bite c'est comme une bite mais en mieux c'est ça ?

[IntoTheStorm]

le dèfe metal et un blaste-bite

[fullofhate77]

C'est drole en francais, on dirait qu'il dit blast-bites.

[Blacklorigine]

Perso j'ai appris l'anglais pour comprendre les vidéos de Roddy ou Kollias, pas de raison que nos amis d'outre-manche aient toujours tout dans leur langue non mais : D Apprenez le français messieurs ;)

[Dorianedrums]

Enfin du français :D

[MrFFwinner]

Nice video actually but they doesn't say anything that is really important (for people that doesn't speack french). He got skill for speed but in my opinion he doesn't use alot of technique in his percussion ( Still love him :) )

[XDarkStrikerX]

Did you hear his groove solo and the veil of misconception drums ? I guess not. You should listen to that before saying he isnt technical, he's the most technical drummer i've ever seen.

[sickdrummerdotcom]

So Sick...

[skylineian]

3:15 O_o

[biezulbub669]

holy shit

[YouMoreable]

I didn't understand a word of it. Cool drumming though.

[simonejp91]

i didnt know romain goulon was french

[YouMoreable]

he speaks french in most of his videos, but like 1% of the people watching don't speak french

[maxmars10]

You have to learn french...^^

[YouMoreable]

That's how cool this video is.

[YouMoreable]

oops, I meant 99% of course...

[GuillerDrummer]

6:56 lool xDD

One of the best extreme metal drummers

[castorel]

he's a beast, a drum machine! \m/

[LHondrums]

lol can he say death metal again?! :D:D:D

[blastbeatero]

HIs footwork is soo great. His handworx kick ass too. But it seems i notice that his hands lack power. Maybe he needs to workout....or somthing

[ghizmo01]

Rapide oO

[kssifrot]

ah oui du blast teub'

tre bon merveilleux

[darkxXxtoto]

putin c un monstre de technik XD il est énorme

[KVX10]

Blast Bite haha

[ChordxClient]

?love also plays a different style of music

[boltedtothecross]

I've heard him play metal once... it was amazing!

[popemobile15]

wrong

[jdawg00100]

ROFL

[goodgore]

I can't wait to hear the new necrophagist with him playing that will be sick!!!

[landofviking]

lool il dit blast beat , on dirait qu'il dit Blast bite XD

[xXxEThSfanxXx]

oui, c'est exactement la même prononciation -_-

tue toi s'il te plaît!

[landofviking]

Euh.... ouai super toi....

Déjà, je délirais juste sur l'accent anglais du journaliste et non pas de Romain...

Puis , "beat" et "bite" n'ont pas exactement la même prononciation. Je suppose que tu dois parler anglais avec ce vieil accent francais... "Esskiouz me wèr is ze métro steychionne"

Je me moquais juste de l'accent anglais du type... Enfin bref , comme on dit en anglais :

EPIC FAIL

[Basilisk1349]

j'aime ce mec ! quelle maitrise!

[DeathCult1349]

push pull technic...

[BloodyHawk39]

Thank god he's in Necrophagist now.

[guitar4life33]

hahaha his face after that run at 6:53 its crazy! its like that david blaine parody after he does a "trick"

[Vinzholio]

hahaha true

[luciferincestus]

LOL!!!! thats so true

[Nash210590]

ROFLMFAO!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!! OMG!

Fucking Perfect.

[maxelllito]

el papa de los helaos

[zero252525]

romain is the best french drummer i know tbh...

[sexypoulpe]

@zero252525 there's Mario Duplantier from Gojira too =)

[Blacklorigine]

@sexypoulpe Mario Duplantier is nothing compared to romain.

[sexypoulpe]

@Blacklorigine tu rigoles, t'as écouté le dernier Gojira ? Peut-être que Romain est plus une machine de technique, mais le style syncopé de Mario est tellement monstrueux

[Blacklorigine]

@sexypoulpe bah, t'es bien mignon mais du necro c'est VRAIMENT dur à jouer. Gojira c'est pas si difficile (attention, j'ai pas dit facile).

[sexypoulpe]

@Blacklorigine bah, t'es bien mignon mais on ne distingue pas un bon batteur uniquement sur la difficulté de ce qu'il joue, mais aussi sur son style, sa créativité, son son et j'en passe et des meilleures =)

cela étant dit, effectivement Necro c'est plus hard à jouer, mais je préfère le drumming de Gojira

[raiotinfami]

1:54 look is face when he stops XD

[raiotinfami]

sorry 6:53 XD

[betterthanbarker]

you can hear "blast beat" through the french.

[Hadidi89]

boring !

[treyreisenbichler]

Sweet drumming. At 6:55 he looks like he'll eat your face off, LOL!

[BlastBeatLove]

haha :D

[adamabra8]

As much as I like Minneman, I am glad as fuck Necrophagist has Goulon now.

[RedOnChrome]

i concur 100%. minnemann is good, but goulon just IS necrophagist.

[lucasathus]

omg that is not human!

[GrinderDeath]

man in this video romain is showing techniques who want to get better at blast beats not to show his talent. Chris Adler is good but his speed is shit compared to romain's

[DiegoDLT]

this is a death metal drum vid if your talking about a barker im assuming Nick Barker(ex-Dimmu) not some pop punk faggot

[DSEnno]

you better kill yourself dude, linkin park totally sucks

[RedOnChrome]

holy shit the beater distance...

[kcrp6794]

futher away the better

[RedOnChrome]

correct you are sir.

[ben6death6blast6]

trop puissant!!!maitrise totale!!

[MeNoLiekUsernames]

lol at 6:56 x'D

anyway, he's a great death metal drummer! :D

[Noy234]

Kumod to? Hipus da bla!!!

[Noy234]

Fuck Blink 182 and Leaking Pork!!! Goulon blows Barker to pieces!!!

[123LambofGod123]

dude your a faggot blink 182 blows your dog

[amangonecrazy]

blink 182? are u kidding me? if u compare the drummers, travis and romain, travis would get OWNED, dont mention the guitarists of necrophagist and blink, even the bassist is better

[valentin721]

il est au studio de la luna rosa non ?

[1fox3]

Blink 182 lol you'r a dick..

[strangehands89]

jesus christ,a machine,there's no error,flawless,perfect

[mbrascoupe]

fuck man that single stroke roll that he did was amazingly fucking fast!!!

[hakzear]

Ok so what technique does Romain use is it ankle or whole leg?

[tambian89]

I'm pretty sure he uses ankle motion.

[SoloKeeper47]

Romain is awesome! his technique for fast playing is very nice , not many drummers are so good and play that fast and let it sound so nice and clearly. he is one of my favorite drummer!

[Zianexx]

Rofl Romain Is so sick.

[boblevicking]

Putain il assure ce gars,il est extra!!!

[strakatoboi]

awW... the left bass drum sounds different from the main bass drum

[goregrind555]

it doesn't really matter for him cause he chose to use triggers...not a bad thing...just easier

[strakatoboi]

yeah, his kicks are more like tapping, there is minimum hip/thigh motion, the strokes are focused on the toes

[SoloKeeper47]

@goregrind555

yeah in studio he use triggers , but they dont make it easier , only for people who are tapping! and Romain is not tapping , his beater distance is amazing for the speeds he plays and as you can hear in this video he is not useing triggers...

[goregrind555]

@SoloKeeper47

no he isn't but they are still on his bass drum :-p but when i said easier i meant recording wise

[SoloKeeper47]

yeah easier for a better sound but not for the playing ;)

[sofukingwhat]

hahaha the face at 6:55 is so funny

[baila54]

romain t'assure a mort vive la batterie et romain goulon !

[medusemandu42]

si jmonte un groupe jte veu dedans!!!

[Decapithagore]

lol trop tard..il est dans necrophagist maintenent ;)!!

[medusemandu42]

tro fort!!!!

la vitesse c est impressionant!!

en plus francais lol

[arthur092]

waaa!i déchire tro!!

[betodbz]

I didn't understand shit but I learned a lot watching.. Romain Goulon is the man!!

[XxXMooieXxX]

anyone know how tight his springs are? i don't think they're all the way

[DreamTheater4life]

he plays they's them medium-light tension

[TheAnnihilator12]

Anyone mind telling me what hes explaining from 3:30 to 3:55? Thanks a lot.

[evilross666]

here's a rough translation. Interviewer: I'm sure you have some secrets for gaining that

kind of speed on double bass. Romain goulon : yes and no. It's obviously very progressive

and and i've been working on it over several years. I basically use my hole leg for tempos of 150 bpm and over...

[intothevoid92]

then he says (just before playing the bass pedals) "im going to start playing at a level of around 150 160 170 BPM

[lalaouiti]

manifik super synchro super teknik vive la france ! ;)

[neugeu]

cocoricoooooooooooo

[ysn659]

cooooooooooool you're the best!!!!!!!

[maritoloser]

hijo de perra wn

[SinisterSkip]

3:15

VOLUME

[tarotfest]

incredible, but how can I do THAT??

[mouloudo]

work

[neugeu]

Vraiment dément ! Content de voir qu'un Français peut déchirer autant, et encore plus content d'avoir une video d'explication en Français ! Formidable ! Merci d'avoir posté cette vidéo !

[joaoalbu]

exellent man animal left hand and foots

[666stallion666]

every video i've seen tho he uses triggers but whatever it doesnt matter i used them before and belive me you need to be on your game to use em!.. like this guy! yes he certainly is one of the best and one of my favourites.

[tuckertuk]

hey mais c'est au studio luna rossa !!! lol

ahahaha je reve !!

[666stallion666]

it actually is triggered man you can see the ddrums on the bass drums. doesnt matter tho he's fuckin class!

[MolokenBlackMetal]

He doesn't use the triggers though.. And by the way, He is the best!

[mouloudo]

yeah you can hear that he's not using them, plus this is not his drumkit just bring his pedals

[Heelup]

Hard work, practice and will. And a lot of meth. The only way someone can play like that, goddamn. Listen to his bass, and it's not even triggered.

[psykosmach]

magnifique voila mon nouveau prof de batterie

[hyrael2]

haha ! t'est pas le seul ;)

[Sargeith]

romain>nice haircut

btw his drummings also nice

[Billyssword]

Trop fort ce mec ,j'ui fier d'être francais XD

[Deist]

This guy is amazing.

[narvikmorena]

no comment, piggod

[Froztken]

There's ain't to translate, if you have eyes, you understand. He's just explaining in words what you see. For the feet, he says the same thing as George Kollias (search on youtube) for tempos 120-160 he use a full leg motion and for faster tempos, he use an ankle motion

The part with 8th and 16th notes double bass, it's just a exercise to build endurance, response and coordination.

Everything else is just bla bla bla about tom fills which you can easily understand by watching the video.

[dillhole]

someone translate this

[tarotfest]

notice how he controls his foot movements, i can use my fast twitch nerves to do the same but i cant do it with both feet at the same time or same speed.......and i dont have axis.....that is all

[metallikuh520]

i like when romain says beat its funny as hell....bEEEt

[Dudymac]

Fuck why french??? =S i dont speak that.......

[hyrael2]

you need to understand not to speak lol

[phildrummer]

i wish i knew wot he was saying

[eyehatevenus]

actually look at the studio footage of him with disavowed, he two foot blasts every song. and who cares anyway, arguing about 2 or 1 foot to me seems retarded

[BROST81]

aie!!

[666quebec666]

crazy drummer... hé romain... t'es une fuckin machine !! continue d'même el gros !! lache pas tu tue !

[knotdrummer88]

could someon please translate this to english?

amazing drummer i jsut found out about him he is insane

[SHRED1000]

for those who wonder how he keeps his balance while floating his feet, he sits farther back from the kit. look at his other videos. your balance is better when sitting farther back,

[titizerza10]

on va dire que joey jordisson peut se r'habiller hein?

xD

de toute façons tu lui enlève sa double pédale,et pis ben joey ne ressemble plus a rien!

en tout cas ce gars et vraiment flippant!

[Inhuman0]

Ce mec est tout simplement excellent.

Je dirai pas qu'il est le meilleur au monde mais son niveau fait déjà bien peur.

[DukeNico]

Just train, and don't use your nerve muscles, because you get tired quickly by using them.

I try to use Romain's technique too, and it's hard, yep !

[tarotfest]

help si vous plate!!!!i can see he has complete control over his fast twitch nerve muscle in his ankles. BUT HOW DUZ HE KEEP HIS BALANCE WHILE DOING IT?i tried it today and its impossible, i use the nerve muscle and i can fly along but when i use both feet it simply wont happen!!an educated r simpathetic reply...si vous plait

[666quebec666]

holly shit dude... that was fuckin aewsome!! and i'm so happy to speak french :D

[RedOnChrome]

fucking luving his snare

[GaryCancer]

I think blasts sound badass with moeller for the right hand. The snare stays tight and consistent while the cymbal becomes accented...

[morbidguitar]

his 2 foot blast was waaaaay off

[Lassdeg]

Romain tu roxx ;)

[MaxDrum]

Romain rules !!!!

[Fortune1]

You know when your talking about blast with diffrent hands? You developped the diffrent technique with your hands because you play your hihat with your right, and it has no bounce. So your right hand developped a write moeller technique, while your left hand used to the snare uses the finger technique, same thing with me, but im trying to change that. You seem to have it working for you though, great chops.
