Anup Sastry - Song 2 Play Through

[burpeemetaldrumguy]

I just can't get Anup of this

[kalj3]

Wow, sweet! Really dig the red rims!

[burpeemetaldrumguy]

Seriously to the one Assjack that disliked this video, I hope to god that that was a slip of the mouse. Anyone intentionally disliking this video has the brain of mentally handicapped chimpanzee.

[burpeemetaldrumguy]

Ok first off this is UNFUCKINBELIEVABLE in every aspect. Will you have an album out soon man? and is there any way I can get this track, I really want it to listen to at the gym.

[MarquisDeKyle]

I'm sure that room is haunted after all those ghost notes

[SubwayStar7]

@MarquisDeKyle If I hadn't already heard this joke a thousand times, I would love you forever. A for effort though.

[MarquisDeKyle]

@SubwayStar7 Hah, I just recently heard it. Damn

[ZeeGrego]

Favorited. Subscribed. Blown away.

[rdavidr]

why is everyone playing with ms4's these days?

[xXWhatUpDocXx]

nice stack

[Bradyman55]

PLEASE put this on mediafire!

[tawalare26]

dude this is amazing, great use of fills and grooves in context, seriously awesome man :)

[TheMMGStudio]

sorry to be a naive retard but what program do u use to write the guitar lines for?? i like the sound and would like to use it for my own writing :)

[asdrummer2008]

@TheMMGStudio Hey man! I play and sample an actual guitar. I've tried a couple of programs that are just large sample libraries of guitars (DI), but sampling a real guitar just works for what Im trying to do!!!

[5Palak]

Awesome Ghost Notes. Overall love your Drumming so much. Its an kind of Djent Drumming I think so. Really, inspirational and energetic. One more drummer in list of my Favorite Ones from whom I am totally inspired is added now. Keep it up man..... Unreal.... \m/

[toxendon]

Could you do a toturial on ghost notes? :) Maybe just show some slow examples or something?

[Valendor18]

Your "Ghost notes" are hotter than my girlfriend!! 0_0

[Bgrif2020]

I watch this so much it gets stuck in my head during the day sometimes.

[mrudul13]

if matt leaves periphery in my wildest dreams...i will b sad but have no worries as they already have a back up..dats u!...cheers my friend..

[FearsBecomePhobias]

How do you say your name properly? I wanna make sure I'm pronouncing the name of one of my new favorite artists right

[phatjesus008]

holy fuck dude!! this is sick stuff!!!

[iloveskateboarding45]

this is so much for my brain to hear haha

[Stoojer]

Awesome stuff mate!

Reminds me a bit of the heavy tracks in the old Unreal Tournament soundtracks with the snappy sampled guitars (which are awesome btw).  Keep it up, looking forward to the album :D

[NateSVT]

This is fucking badass man! Found you on Orbins website.

[KodfishBillaaay]

There is too much going on here.

[HxCPantsParty]

that's the choppiest thing I've ever heard, its pretty sweet, but a bit harsh. :P

[Jeries]

you are sick bro keep it up

[jae30ful]

Man sweet Chops!!! Love the nice work keep up the post!!

[xpmartyr84]

it sounds way sicker with those crazy programmed guitars,amazing song! :D

[ImaPirate83]

so, if i understand correctly, you write your guitar parts around your already written drum parts? that makes a lot of sense with this style of music. i wish i could play drums as well as you so i could write like this XD

[mulita11]

nice drum.



[MusicislifeBR]

Are you using Axis?

[asdrummer2008]

@MusicislifeBR I am not. I am using Pearl Demon Drives! I used to use Axis pedals though!

[MusicislifeBR]

@asdrummer2008 Oh, ok... What's the biggest difference you felt in using demon drive instead axis? Would you mind to tell? =]

[maidenfan10210]

@asdrummer2008 Why exactly did you switch?

[JoshyMyers]

are those parddidles you are doing between your feet and hands? sounds like em!

[MusicislifeBR]

hEy man, really enjoyed your performance and work. Congratulations for your love for the drumming and for your dedication to that. May God bless you and all your work. Wish you a brilliant carrer in music! Greetings from Brazil!

[NoBelieveInJustice]

it sounds really awesome, and i can imagine great vocals here, but you need to change a bit, because some parts are too long and boring... i hope too hear it with vocals somwehen....

[TheGP8]

This is awesome man !

[SheikTijl]

After spending 45 minutes on trying to figure out your fills , it made my realize that all these fills (and everything else to) just flows out of the playing. While you play it, it just feels so "logical" and "natural" and fits the music brilliantly. It made me respect you even more. Keep on being awesome man.

[asdrummer2008]

@SheikTijl Hey man! Thanks a lot for the kind words!!! I really appreciate it! That means a lot!!!

[JansydOriginal]

what snare do you use? ABSOLUTELY EPIC!!!!

[silenttool]

Freaking wicked mate, do you plan to add vocals later on as well?

[chevyondubz]

It's funny, I don't think half these people know what you mean by sampling the guitar. I think its a sweet idea with a cool resulting sound

[wormsweater]

I really hope you teach the rest of intervals this and your other songs...

[bateriaization1]

el puto amo del doble pedal!!

[201Perone239]

Your snare placements are insane. Love your shit bro, I need more!!

[BADBOY131]

i love all the vids but his is my all time fav. groove so sweet willy wonka couldnt compte

[dzovkebgd]

AMAZING BRO ! 

[rightwraith]

Absolutely sick, man. Beautiful ghost notes. If Orbin's the Orbinator, you definitely qualify as the Sastrinator.

[asdrummer2008]

@rightwraith hahahaha, thanks a lot man! I really appreciate the kind words!

[Drumtome]

@rightwraith Good call :) 

[CoreyZer0]

Holy shit man, you kick ass!

[officerpoopnard]

how do i download stuff off of ur soundcloud??

your work is so amazing i must download it!!!

[Bari2142]

ghost notes fucking rule!! Nice man

[jajajah86]

@Bari2142 What is a ghost note? My best guess would be the snare roll at around 1:30.

[superball57]

What program(s) do you use?

[Eirath245]

This is absolutely great, I'd love to hear it with real guitars at some point too!

[VaadRock]

man....you are good....!!!!

[HugoRibeiroDotCom]

That was just GREAAAAAT!!!

[CronicDrummer42066]

man.... im speechless. NEEED MORRE!!

[ImPrEtTyGoOd13]

excellent man! what kind of drum mics do you have?

[Abadabedaba]

awesome ! is your kit setup travis orbin influenced?

[lillgary]

hey! big fan of ur drum covers man, i dig all of them. u mind telling me what snare your using?

[Abadabedaba]

oh my god where can i get a download of this

[asdrummer2008]

@Abadabedaba Hey! I was planning on uploading the actual song soon after I uploaded this video! But I have just been busy writing other tunes and stuff... Soon enough though it will be available!!!

[Drummerkid74]

This is sick! Do you mind telling me what effect you used on the guitar in the intro? Thanks :)

[asdrummer2008]

@Drummerkid74 Hey man! I just used a mono guitar track with a high and low roll off on it. The effect that makes it sound like its slowing down was made with a plug-in called "Vari-Fi", which comes with Pro Tools!

[ESPJT]

HOLY SHIIIT ! This is epiiic man, love it, and u cant play guitar..??? so awesome, guitar is sooo tight sounding XDD

[asdrummer2008]

@ESPJT Hey man! Thanks a lot for the kind words! Yea, I don't really consider my self a guitar player by any means. All of this stuff is sample based. Although I am actually playing the samples I want to use with my own guitar, thats not anywhere close to actually playing a guitar... hahaha. I do know a little bit of theory... but I write stuff just based on how it sounds to me... Thanks again for the kind words! Much appreciated!!!

[ESPJT]

@asdrummer2008 np ;)

[MitchReitmanOnDrums]

I'm sitting here looking up Periphery drum covers, and I seem to have come across you, my friend.

Let me just say that this video has made my whole entire day. This very material deserves a standing ovation. You have given me inspiration to work on my ghost notes.

-Mitch Reitman

[Drumtome]

I'm learning everything I can to this song, minus the doubles because your left hand is incredible! I've probaby listened to this no lie about 30 times tonight. You're fills and everything is INCREDIBLE! This is musical genious!

[RhysJibbaJabbler]

1:30 - 1:58 = carnage

[bahamutod]

not sure how someone would actually play like that on guitar but it sounds sick as fuck. rock on!

[narzil]

absolutely mind blowing! congratulations dude!

[asdrummer2008]

@narzil Thanks a lot! The kind words are much appreciated!

[BADBOY131]

when are u actually releasing music cause i would so buy ur original music dude. much respect from NY

[asdrummer2008]

@BADBOY131 Hey man! I appreciate the kind words! I will be releasing a few tunes in the very near future. I just haven't had a lot of time to focus on getting all of the mixes right where I want them. Also, I don't really plan on selling any of it... hahaha, I will probably make it downloadable (for free) from my Soundcloud page! Thanks again for your kind words and interest!

[NoranPrease]

Holy shit...

[dogzthesharp]

This straight up blew my mind.

[329Mortar]

I love this so much... and the guitar sounds so good, I love the sound of it :D and top notch drumming too :D

[asdrummer2008]

@329Mortar Thanks a lot!!! I appreciate it! Im glad you like it!

[SKGProductions24]

Sick as fuck dude! haha ghost notes sound key. im kyle gruenigs bestfriend. ill post a response for you to check out dude

[bigswinginmickey]

Really diggin' the groove in this, its awesome!

[RomaIvakov]

this is probably... the best thing i've ever seen in my life :D

[TotlaMadDrummer95]

NICE!!!! I see that your using Vic Firth headphones. What do you think about them? I've been contemplating whether or not I should get them. How much do they cost?

[mplyler1]

1:58 is awesome

[ricbtst]

what high school did u go to in md? im from md and went to kennedy so i was jus wondering

[PINQINQ]

This is AMAZING man holy shit

[CrawfordDrummer]

Im noticing a bit of Travis Orbin's gear that you're using, u a fan?? haha

[asdrummer2008]

@CrawfordDrummer Hey man! I am a fan of Travis Orbin's! But, I actually started using Magnum sticks and Pearl Demon Drives because my friend Alex Rudinger got me hooked on them... haha. But yes, I am a huge Orbin fan!!!

[CrawfordDrummer]

@asdrummer2008 WTF?? Ur Rudy's friend?? I love his fucking work man so u from Maryland then?? God damn I wanna just go to school out on the east because all my favorite people and bands are from there (Periphery, Animals as Leaders, Travis Orbin, Rudy, now you lmao) but great work by the way dude, your technical as hell

[asdrummer2008]

@CrawfordDrummer And yea! We are really good friends. I actually went to middle and high school with Alex! So we have known each other for some time now!

[CrawfordDrummer]

@asdrummer2008 But I also noticed your drum heads, beaters, and head phones too I think, well it's all great gear so its probably just a coincidence haha

[asdrummer2008]

@CrawfordDrummer Hahaha, nope... the snare head was all Rudy... the tom heads was me just getting lucky with trying something new! Ive always used quad beaters pretty much ever since I started drumming. And the headphones, I just bought because I needed a pair of headphones! hahaha

[CrawfordDrummer]

@asdrummer2008 Sick man, well keep up the great work, you're amazing!

[DeliciousNubbs]

This is sick!!! I know you put a lot of work into your drumming, but I also have to give a shout out to sir Travis Orbin for changing drumming forever!!

[dreamtheaterpantera]

Nice man i love it, everything is great ,drumming ,video ,music.... \m/ :)

[DrumsZackDrums]

:O dude. just. dude. o_O SO AMAZING!!!

[LOLE1991KOVIN]

Really good! :) subscribed

[MrAmbidex1]

New favorite song. =)

[diamondyeqy]

God damn man!!!

[DeadlyNinjaDrummer]

Oh and killer drumming bro. Mad props.

[asdrummer2008]

@DeadlyNinjaDrummer Hey man! Thank you for the kind words. I greatly appreciate it!

[DeadlyNinjaDrummer]

What did you use to make the guitar part?

[asdrummer2008]

@DeadlyNinjaDrummer I used my Agile Septor! that and Pro Tools... and a lot of editing... 

[KDUBsSpirits]

Dude this is some incredible shit. I subscribed to your channel as soon as heard the first 30 seconds..

[asdrummer2008]

@KDUBsSpirits Thanks a lot!!! Your kind words are much appreciated! Cheers!

[almighty1984]

Holy shit this is awesome, great song!

[asdrummer2008]

@almighty1984 Hey! Thanks a lot! I appreciate the kind words!

[fodedrums]

That was great.

[betterthandirt]

I fucking love the way the sampled guitar sounds, so tight. And those ghost notes were absolutely insane.

[tranceforlife007]

Man you are awesome! I wish I could do that. I just wonder how the heck do you have such an intense breakdown beats with your kicks? Did you keep the tension low on the pedal chains??

[asdrummer2008]

@tranceforlife007 Hey man! Thanks a lot for the kind words! I use the Pearl Demon Drives, and I have my spring tension tightened all the way up!

[asdrummer2008]

@tranceforlife007 Hey man! Thanks a lot for the kind words! I use the Pearl Demon Drives, and I have my spring tension tightened all the way up!

[MultiHallo21]

nice shit, dude

[MattPlaysDrums187]

simply awesome!

[herbivore007]

hey man are you god?

[ebritt91]

Hey, what tuning is your Agile in? If I know, I would really like to cover this song and maybe post a full version of it played out in one piece

[Djent]

Those ghost notes are awesome

[xShortyZz]

Where the hell can I get this?!

[asdrummer2008]

@xShortyZz Hey man! If you are asking about the actual song, I will be uploading this along with some other songs/clips/mix tests to my sound cloud very soon!!!

[DrummerI3oy]

This guy really likes RED and BLACK

[asdrummer2008]

@DrummerI3oy hahaha, I didn't plan for that to happen... It just kinda happened...

[domokunt]

keep it up bro.



[MaGGoTMusic]

AGH Mate 1:30 that grrove beat after is sick!! BIG PROPS!

[asdrummer2008]

@MaGGoTMusic Hey man! Thanks a lot!

[OrganizationXVandXVI]

The first time I read the name I thought it said "Anus Pastry". Awesome drumming, keep up the good work

[somaguye]

What did you do to get so good at those ghost notes on the snare? I really need to develop mine but I can't seem to get anywhere with them.

[asdrummer2008]

@somaguye Hey man! I would suggest practicing to a click but use smaller permutations of the click... so for example, practice a groove of some sort that involves ghost note placements at 140 BPM... but instead of listening to eighth notes, listen to a sixteenth note click track. This way, you can REALLY tell if your on or off the click. Also, start super slow to work out ghost note placements. Then build it up to speed... This helped for me!

[RogrA15]

Where I get that skills, Ebay?

[Demaen666]

Amazing! awesome song! you should find a guitarist (or two :P) to record this song on an actual guitar. i bet it'd sound even better! keep up the awesome work!

[drumlifeUSA]

Great job!!

[wandersaroundalot]

what kind of drum trigger are you using? :o

[ibanezxiphos700]

this sounds so fucked, in a good way. the guitar is so glitchy but i love it.

[NoBigDealBro]

This is absolutely awesome. Perfectly clean the entire track. I had a grin on my face the entire time haha

[morgandavidrossnicol]

This is cool as fuck, I use the same technique when making progressive stuff like dat.

[VictorJamieson]

This is so much better than the Blur I was expecting

[FakeMessiah94]

Awesome dude! Inspired by Djent I sense?

[Niallphillips]

This is excellent, Mark Holcomb posted this to his facebook page, you should email him dude..you never know, maybe you could try out for haunted shores

[asdrummer2008]

@Niallphillips Thank you for the kind words! and he did? thats pretty sweet! As fun as that would be to play for Haunted Shores, my friend Alex Rudinger already does one hell of a job playing that material!!!!!

[chuangbihshuang]

Damn!

[Fr1dl]

You sir........are a fucking genius!!!! Probs man that stuff is fucking tight!

[devilyoushy]

you know what? IMHO you should leave that guitar sound. it's really innovative, even when somebody will hear it for the first time will think 'what the fuck is that?'but in a minute will think 'hm.. that sounds damn good!'. You've made something new, hold with it, make your own style instead of copying one another :)

Once again, leave it for humanity!

[shockwavenl1]

your songs are so damn sick man!

[JlyBeeetch]

So much control over those ghost notes, love it!

[ratorn830]

Almost flagged this as inappropriate because it's just sick! I'd turn down the guitars a little since they're masking the kick, which needs to come out. Definitely subscribed.

[HELLPERN]

duder, i already told you that i love this, but seriously, i love this.. great job. i told you, man... i told you. lol.

[asdrummer2008]

@HELLPERN lol Thanks a lot man!

[goofball924]

@HELLPERN saying lol is for 5 year olds

[asdrummer2008]

@HELLPERN haha, Thanks a lot man!!! I really appreciate the kind words!

[DrummerI3oy]

he sure likes red and black. shoes. drums. clothing.

[cheeseman812]

This is sick as hell dude. I actually really dig the sampled guitar idea, it just sounds like they're gated to shit hahaha (In a good way of course)

[drumathouse]

How the hell can you remember all these breakdown?!

Each is different!!!

But Honestly... It's amazingly perfect.

You've made something great =)

Have you tabed any of your songs?

[adioskaterdude999]

wow, this is an even better song than most of the ones you cover! sick composition, and as always anup, the playing/technique was phenomenal :D

[kanekronik]

Outstanding job. I love metal that people can dance to. Confidence in playing is something that always stands out big time.

[drumathouse]

How the hell can you remember all these breakdown?!

But Honestly... It's amazingly perfect.

You've made something great =)

[lakuna]

some nasty (nasty=good) grooves man i love it

[Strakeflames]

What did you use to sample and put together the guitars?

[asdrummer2008]

@Strakeflames Hey man! I use Pro Tools for pretty much everything (besides the video stuff). So all of the samples I actually play and record into Pro Tools, then arrange them to my drums, which I also play and record into Pro Tools.

[Strakeflames]

@asdrummer2008 Oh, you did it the hard way :) I thought you used a guitar simulator VST and triggered it with your drums

[domokunt]

Yeah bro

[LukeSnyderMusic]

Dude, I really love how the sampled/chopped guitars sounds, to be perfectly honest. Its a new and fresh sound. I'm going to be doing this exact same thing, I'm planning on picking up a Schecter Omen 8 string and doing my own guitar tracks. Love it!

[ALICKSdrums]

a w e s o m e.

[nikohedegaard]

wow this is just great! i play drums too im training with double bass :D
