[Lemaninful]

Very Good!!!

[bmm665]

good job man, looks like you're using single footed blasts as well?

[PelzartigTod]

Hardcore, man!

[temuzero]

So from a drummers point of view, is hellhammer the shit?

[givemeajackson]

@temuzero yes, him and george kollias.

[FiendishDemon13]

@temuzero Unquestionably

[bmm665]

@temuzero Oh yes like the guy below me said, and absolutely.

[d3spair666]

[ArtofRi0t]

DIAABOOOOLIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII­IIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ha ha ha!! Fuck yessss! \m/

[ArtofRi0t]

IN SORRTTEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!

[ArtofRi0t]

Hey, yeah!! Great feet man! You're rocking the shit out of this tune! :) :)

[Maggot19Joko]

is the bassdrum triggered?

[xMrilovemethx]

12 people dont realize how hard this is and how perfect you are

[thevermin666]

fuck yeah dude \m/

[Thatmetaldude590]

Triplets fitted this perfectly : )

Also I agree on the awesome-drummer part. But you probably know...

[iloveredhotchilis]

Awesome drum cover. Shame the sound is not so good

[ANEWDISGUISE444]

I love the sound of that china cymbol bro!!

[InsaneMetal]

Holy fucking shit congrats man, you're an amazing drummer! =O

[ddrumdude]

people! Stop complaining about the fast bass bit, he mentioned that in his description :P

Mate, you're awesome, keep it up!

[chokingoninsanity]

a whole stand for your sawblade? i just stacked mine on my ride with another felt :/

[SermirP]

3:04...Yes, he´s using triggers, but this is too slow. Btw good cover :)

[hrkfgjrj]

do you use heel toe in this video mate?

[blindedbydarkness]

@hrkfgjrj I play straight singles, not a big fan of heel toe and doubles. Then again, as u can hear, I play triplets and not 16th notes as on the record. Watch my footview video : )

[Lastshadow94]

@blindedbydarkness I think it's faster than that, the tabs I found had the whole song at 160 bpm, then 32nd notes on the crazy part. I could totally be wrong or just be missing a tempo somewhere, though.

[DontLikeBandsIHate]

i just love comming back to this cover. i swear ive watched it 30 times this week alone.

[blindedbydarkness]

@DontLikeBandsIHate Awesome. I'm glad you like it!

[NiobiumDrummer]

lol he has a sawblade on his kit... thats so epic

[TheToiletpapir]

at 3:05 - 3:18 you play sextol notes.... its thirty-two notes on kick...

otherwise nice played ;)

[rsman169]

The 270 bpm part sounded a bit slow.

[kartikcooldude]

fuckin awesome!

[wolfboii999]

is that sawblade just some fancy cymbal or is that a legit sawblade????

[blindedbydarkness]

@wolfboii999 regular STIHL sawblade, for cutting wood!

[wolfboii999]

@blindedbydarkness that's pretty ferocious dude.

[wolfboii999]

@blindedbydarkness do you sand off the edges or anything or did you just buy it and put it on your set??

[slayeruiop]

wow nice bro!!!

[Cboisen10]

how about one more person ask if thats a sawblade lol, thats pretty epic though dude. Awesome cover too!

[1234561234aa]

really nice ;)

if u have some problems... talk to dave kinkade (  DRUMMERDAVEKINKADE )

he knows dimmu borgir´s drummer personel.. :P

[Thatmetaldude590]

Perfectly clean cover, I love it.

[Betrion]

[TOTALITARIO999]

[SuperFairyHamster]

[VinicioTinetti]

[rockerman3487]

Haha, a sawblade on a drum set, now that's something awesome.

[Hellbird7]

[Battossai3000]

[mcufre]

[hager999]

Dude you have some sick skillz!

And I'm lovin' that Saw Blade symbol!

[xfernydrummerX]

nice drumset!! good job dude

[adrianeddy98]

omg tell me more about your chinas, this is incredible! what's this?

[Guuuutn]

Jan Axel aka Hellhammer didnt use heel/toe on studio=) I played it regularly, and they just fixed the beats that were off.

[CymbalRapist]

@Guuuutn he says on his forum he used double strokes (LLRR etc)... and do they REALLY fix HH digitally, or is it just sonmething ppl say to bait MayheM or what?

[caneyelive]

I'm usually the first person to hate on something, just my personality I guess, but dude you fucking nailed it. Kudos.

[blacksheepresult]

Well done, dude :D

[cazuu69]

good job man keep it up...

[vuurwerkfred]

[blindedbydarkness]

Yeahman!

[Trommeslagter]

@blindedbydarkness Dude, that's just pure fucking awesome! I'll try it myself!

[northwoodsrider]

@blindedbydarkness i have one of them mounted right above my ride.

[bobos01]

@blindedbydarkness the sawblade is stillll new to people ya? ha...a dude was trippin on mine the other day...

[Bultish]

@blindedbydarkness

saw Daniel Erlansson had one also a few years ago, do you ever hit it ? =P

[MrAlucard222]

@blindedbydarkness A drummer friend of mine talk with HH, and he assures him that he never use heel-toe in his career, always heel-up... Always, in faster and slower parts, live and in the studio... Cheers

[Argaroth89]

AWESOME COVER!!!

btw hellhammer used doubles, not heel/toe :) ... maybe in couple of years ill be able to play this :P still a beginner... been playing for 4 months now, and i have a decent feet speed...

[randomactsok]

damn...

[IKillAllSnipers]

hellhammer is arpofesionist drummer but you are so fast however...:) very very good :)

[haikallp]

[XtrenchfootX]

dude right between your smallest tom and your snare is that a saw blade lmao cuz thats fucking awsome

[blindedbydarkness]

Haha, yeah that is a sawblade. I use it for my second ride. Sounds and looks awesome :p

[NKCallnighter]

[nnero0]

[metalgtar]

[facethewaste47]

is that a circular saw blade above your snare?

[blindedbydarkness]

That's right : )

[nodestroymetal]

lol thats 8 levels past badass

[boobilyboo]

it would be good if i could actually see you feet for the bass other wise i cant tell whether your actually doing it or not.

[blindedbydarkness]

check out my footview video. : ) Ofc I'm doing it..

[JoshOfDarkness]

Love your drum cover man. I'm gonna put my guitar cover to it.

[krisescloset]

I'm just wondering why youe left hand wrist action is Slower then the right?

[blindedbydarkness]

The technique is quite different, my left hand has more of a vawing motion which maybe makes it look slower.

[bagera93]

hellhammer does not use heeltoe XD

he uses flat foot

[blindedbydarkness]

Well, I've heard both : )

[bagera93]

true your a good drummer your kinda reminds me of meself when it comes to the fast blasts with one hand iam better with my right hand and left hand on hihat

[DanBeHappy31793]

at about one minute.... niceee

[Mattw42444]

Sweet drumming. I can do the song a little bit but not as good as you though youre ace

[nunnipony]

I use triplets, too. I can't hang with Hellhammer at all!

[winterSTU]

Dude - what module and patch are your kick triggers using? :)

[thrashislaw666]

[mustasparta]

SO!!!

YOURE AMAZING!

:]

[MYM0NK3YD13D]

Great!

[hellraizr666]

FUCKIN AMAZING SAWBLADE CYMBAL!!!!

[MrDevilsheep666]

Damn, you are good as hell^^

That is far away from the easiest song to coverO.O

[Daphfz1]

Yes, he is very talented isnt he :), he's put alot of work into his drumming :)

[hawarasi]

nice :)

[abcmetal]

can you explain your way of playing double base?

your seat? (high? Low)

Tight strings?

and maybe more

thanq

[blindedbydarkness]

hey! I@m sitting very low, I feel I get the best control that way, especially on the feet. Medium spring tension.

[goldenratio3]

you use the push/pull method for your blast beats?

[opiter]

best drum cover on youtube imho gj man

[blindedbydarkness]

Thanks man..

[DRUMMERDAVEKINKADE]

Hellhammer doesnt play heel toe.....trust me, I know the guy

[blindedbydarkness]

I've heard he said he played heel-toe, of people who had spoken to him. And I know he has been practicing a little heel-toe, but he claims not being very confortable with it yet (From the sickdrummer forums). But who knows.

[DRUMMERDAVEKINKADE]

ya, id be careful who to believe. Jan isnt the type of guy to even go onto forums. He used to do myspace but deleted it. Internet just isnt for him. He's been all about straight singles. Last we talked about it, heel toe to him was cheating haha, which is when I mentioned that 2 foot blasting is cheating haha... his feet have been quite clean lately though. I play in Borknagar so we all kinda know eachother and talk shop when around.

[Pearlbrk]

didn't read on. sry

[Subrick]

Um Dave, not to be a dick (and I wouldn't to you because I really like yer drumming), but could you please explain why you think 2 foot blasting is cheating?

[DRUMMERDAVEKINKADE]

It just doesnt sound right to me and its taking away power from the blast.

[Subrick]

There are guys like Mike Smith who invented the two footer who are incredibly powerful though.

[DRUMMERDAVEKINKADE]

ya but notice the suffo blast is way different than a real 1 footer. the kicks meet with the snare in the suffo blast. in a proper 1 footer, the snare and kick are back and forth...just a fast thrash beat. Oh well, Im not going to argue over blasting. I play very different types of music and blasting is something I only use when necessary.

[Subrick]

Yeah yer right. Drummers be drummers and blasts be blasts.

[Coreyf24]

I'm with you on this one, single foot blasts just seem to have more drive to them. Having the snare and kick in an actual roll is why blasts have so much balls, when you put the snare and bass on the same note I find it just doesn't sound as powerful.

And besides, if you can't play the straight 8th notes with 1 foot, how are you ever going to get a clean 16th note roll on your feet for double bass patterns?

[blindedbydarkness]

I notice I often play one-foot when accenting every 3rd hit, and 2-footed when blasting over a straight 4/4 groove or something. But I try to variate and master both types, and I also feel that sometimes one technique fits the music better than the other. Cause in some strange way you can hear the difference, even with triggers. I dunno which I like best...

[Pearlbrk]

so you say, i know hellhammers drum tech, he plays in a awesome band called deathfare, he says he plays heel-toe at insane speeds but not otherwise. axis shortboards

[DRUMMERDAVEKINKADE]

Deathfare? Who told you that one? John Gauss is Hellhammers tech...and Kollias' tech and Bostaphs tech and a whole bunch more...he plays in Kult of Azazel

[ShaxDr87]

Heal toe is fucking gay. Hellhammer is NOT tight for shit..unless he has 100 takes in studio... sad

[blindedbydarkness]

Oooh, I absolutely think he is. Seen Arcturus - shipwrecked in olso DVD? When recording n Sorte, they said the drum tracking went very well very fast.

[ShaxDr87]

Yeah ...once you've learned heal-toe it's not hard playing at those speed at all. It's not real double bass to me. It's double strokes.

But I mean that hellhammer is not tight is general, probably the most untight drummer i've heard live. It hurts my ears. Nick Barker, Tony Laruneo (from what i've heard of him) and Daray is A LOT tighter.

[blindedbydarkness]

I completely agree about the heel-toe technique. Not bashing on drummers who play it, but it's definately not a technique I want to learn/use in double bass rolls..

I dunno, i've seen a bit of both from Hellhammer. But he's for sure not as tight as Barker, and he again must be the most precise metal drummer I know!

[ShaxDr87]

Yeah Barker is tight as hell. I find it weird considering how fat he is haha! :D

[blindedbydarkness]

Haha, yeah. He's a true monster indeed...

[ShaxDr87]

Yes. He was the perfect drummer for Dimmu imo, all the odd stuff he does, and the little splash thingies and insane trigged tom rolls. I was sad as fuck when he got kicked out. Still can' t understand why they kicked him. I heard he some problems with alcohol, perhaps that's it?

[blindedbydarkness]

I agree. He was the perfect dimmu drummer. I have no idea why they kicked him, all I've heard is "difficult to work with" and such. I guess maybe alcohool could be an important reson, but who knows. It's a bit ad anyways, but I have big hopes for this Daray guy: )

[bagera93]

hellhammer uses flat foot

[ShaxDr87]

not in the fast part chosen legacy.

[dlck6]

Haha, I hoped to hear the crazy double bass but didn't expect it fully xD I was still impress with the speed anyway. Nice job =)

[furakko]

wonderful!!!

everyone knows that Hellhammer went unreal when recorded these pedals...

nice done!!!

[way2manybeer]

it could help on that fast part if you switched from 8th notes to quarter notes. it might not be the way the song does it though so i dunno. i just know when im playin fast i switch to quarter notes i can... i can go about 20 bpms faster like that. just thought id try to help

[Colisholi]

but he can do them ;)

[Silenoz1991]

nice one. also your recording quality has improved since the last dimmu covers.

[gdh6200]

Make "The Serpentine Offering"!

Of course, if you want and can... :D

Great video Btw!

[MattLeDoom18]

Jævlig bra cover! 5/5

Selvom jeg ikke liker de nye sangene så godt, så elsker jeg å spille trommer til dem :)

[Subrick]

Do you still play in the office chair? It's the most badass drum throne ever.

[blindedbydarkness]

Partly right, couse I've got a new one! But it's another office chair!This one is actually quite similar to a drum throne, without backrest. I found it at some industial area, so it was free, hahaha.

[Subrick]

I used to play in an office chair. Watch my first like 5 or 6 videos to see it.

Also, would you do another drum tour with Jon? I see you got some new gear there.

[blindedbydarkness]

Haha, awesome...Office chairs rocks.

Yeah, I got some new gear...So maybe! :p

[stringCHEEZ296]

dude that was fucking great.

[gdh6200]

fantastic! 5****! and Fav.!

[ScreamoRules96]

no offense to you or anything but i love your play and when i heard it at first i thought it sound a bit like a death metal drums solo but its an awesome cover and it coule probably be put over the drumtrack and no one would notice

[matBTF]

sweet man

[cooliodiddy]

Holy shit, dude. You put these out so fast! Don't you practice? Or sleep? lol

[metalguitarist11]

great job! nice to see a new vid :D

[Alisterbmx]

[blindedbydarkness]

Thanks! The main one on my left is a 13" sabian AAX studio, and the second one on my right side is a cracked 13" zildjian zbt... : )
