Fleshgod Apocalypse Drums Oracles

[DeathInTheMirror]

It's not Mauro Mercurio who play the drums on Oracles ?

[Gospel969]

Francesco Paoli: drummer revelation

[89pjanic]

snare trigger??? 

[lambofgod349]

Voted #1 sick drummer for 2011

[LBGuitarMaan]

And this was back when he had only played drums for like barely one year... Incredible!

[SadicSlogot]

Francesco Paoli, fucking amazing

[MiguelNorxD]

I've never seen something like his technic showed at 1:05, 2.38 and 4:21. Does anyone know how its called or its some of his own development?

[Tripletblast]

@MiguelNorxD its called gravity blast or one handed roll.

[AspiringRocker729]

@MiguelNorxD It's actually not that hard to do. As the other fellow said, it is a gravity roll; there are lots of instructional videos of how to do it around YouTube.

[AKlockwerkProduction]

No disrespect to the original, but they should redo the Oracles album with all the new members the piano & and organ parts and strings, Right,Right?

[overcontrol]

german grip or french grip?

[sukablianah2]

I thought they had another drummer at that time

[MarcoZKruspe2]

hahhaha min 4:22 \m/

[plaugesovwar]

double stroke

[ecentrix22]

A lot of the same fills.

[rigolith]

@ecentrix22 Lets see you try covering one of these songs?

[Urtleteudede]

@ecentrix22 I would imagine that it would be difficult when you have to do constant double bass all the time. Atleast its better than Slipknot.

[bmm665]

that's so awesome that this is the vocalist from HoP, mutha fucka just bustin out the hidden skills like "yeah that's right, I can shred too you fucks" Love it.

[Droidkas]

So he's the guy on the cover for MAFIA right?

[Estebansouza]

someone knows, what the kind of foot technique he use ???

[kirik666]

@Estebansouza probably heel toe . he's currently using this technique

[Estebansouza]

@kirik666 thanx so much ... :)

[kirik666]

@Estebansouza you're welcome =)

[rjb4986]

my eyes have been murdered\,,/!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jonathanbenaroche]

what a beast

[SuperUltraMegaSexy]

Hey man, what did those drums ever do to you?

[q33ma]

Francesco Paoli, Simone Piras, Simon Dorfman are divine drummers.

[norwayperson]

4:33-4:35. i came

[patocannibal]

los bateristas Italianos son los mas brutales, tecnicos y mas rapidos que e escuchado.

[ThEpUrEfUcKiNmEtAl]

ufip cymbals???? WTF

[DEATHMETALPYRO]

what is that blasting on the snare called and are there how to's for it cause i need to learn

[Punjabi192]

@DEATHMETALPYRO Its called a blast beat. Derek roddy has a great video, on how to build accuracy and endurance. You wont build speed fast but its great to get started on blasting. Its called Derek Roddy blast beats part 2

[thylovingkindness]

u sound good dude ... make me want to go and practice!!!!

[Sdelosinfiernos]

I like your drum jeje!

[damianface]

"That snare ends up being a little light slap" - Mike Smith. :P

[jackass53191]

[666MetalNeverDies666]

It's amazing you learned this in 5 months! Damn, respect for this guy!

[Susperia1313]

I don't care what anyone says; that is.... pure sickness. I mean wow!!! with such ease my eyes and ears bleed:)

[Meetero]

[MyShadowLegacy]

llaF stnaryT sA

[Joshuser]

Damn Francesco you are sick on the gituar, an amazing voaclist and amazing on the drums, dude you are sick. :D

I'm looking forward to see you guys next year in germany. :)

[boyzinbrown]

[xpmartyr84]

[DeadmansPoncho]

this guys good, but Longstreth is still the best

[JasstoJazz420]

Viva l'Italia!!!!! 

[Rollphorever]

if all these comments are true about this dude singing and playing guitar previously. now playing drums this well for half a year, wow. inspiring. saw these guys over the weekend two nights in a row, the glasshouse then the whisky in CA. me so happy.

[ImperialKiriyama]

@Rollphorever I was at the Glasshouse too! I have some videos from that night uploaded.

[Gospel969]

OMG!! Fleshgod Apocalypse channel , i'm suscribing!!!!!!

[Joshuser]

Fleshgod Apocalypse is fucking awesome my favorite band !

[loveandopeth]

bap bap bap bap fafafafafafafafafafafafafafafa­fafafafafafafafafafafafafa

[diegoprod]

how long has francesco been playing drums?



[MrBigwhiteballs]

really sorry to say this but, PLEASE DO ANOTHER FILL!!

[MrBigwhiteballs]

sorry to say this but, PLEASE DO ANOTHER FILL!! i can't stand it anymore!

[RushYesCrimson]

I dig the excerpts from Beethoven's Ninth Symphony in the background at the beginning! Fleshgod Apocalypse is fantastic!

[LoomisMilitia]

one of my favourites drummers!! 

[cv13NL]

Please come to Brazil dudes =D

[k1RrE]

awesome!

[XxBehemoth666xX]

how did you get that good in 5 months please explain ur technique



[rofllol6969]

Francesco, you should get Fleshgod Apocalypse to come tour with DETHKLOK in the U.S. ..that would be the best lineup man , SERIOUSLY

[FimbulTar777]

@rofllol6969

uhm, a real band with a joke band? ...No.. Bad boy. Spinal Tap With Dethklok maybe... Fleshgod with Gorod Anata QuoVadis Cryptopsy Yyrkoon Augury and/or a million other things that are good (real) and similar would be much more practical

[rofllol6969]

@FimbulTar777 just fucking stop motherfucker, i wasnt talking to you dipshit..

and that joke band that doesnt even fucking try hard and theyre practically smoking most metal bands out there..fucking retard..have some sense of humor stupid ass..no BITCHES for you

[FimbulTar777]

@rofllol6969

where were you? it was funny -> serious to me (if you honestly didn't know enough about metal to have that high of an opinion on DK as a band then it would simply be advice). You have anger problems buddy. you were set off WAY too easily

[rofllol6969]

@FimbulTar777 hahaha wtf no i don't im just saying the truth man..Dethklok kicks ass dude..i doubt you've been to their concert, it pure eargasm bro

[FimbulTar777]

@rofllol6969

I've been to many concerts brotherman. Including Dethklok. It was special in its own way, sure. I love Gene Hoglan as a drummer, but taking Dethklok for its raw musical worth- its pretty cliche. I appreciate DK's existence, but it was never meant to be taken seriously for album sales or tours. Thats my strong personal opinion

[rofllol6969]

@FimbulTar777 i think you should just chill and who cares if they aren't a band, if they want to be a real band then so be it, ..they have practically done everything a real band has done..been on tour, have 2 awesome albums and soon there will be a 3rd album

[StraightTrollinSon]

i think i heard that beat in a biggie smalls song once...

[INVOID666]

impressive!

[mattmanofmeat]

Beethoven's 9th...woohoo

[aordoomsday]

5 months my ass

[Antichristian78]

a france' ma sei na bomba!!!saluti dai DRUGADDICTED!

[BadSensation]

man i love the classical stuff

[IKillAllSnipers]

francesco sei un mostro :O bravissimo e velocissimo! finalemtne un gruppo italiano coi controcoglioni

[Kriegsphilosphier]

Mauro, who recorded the album and plays in Hour of Penance is my choice over this dude, but due to the fact that he is the vocalist and much more, is just adorable.

[codexkali]

this guy... is the vocal of  "Hour of Penance" ... right??

[SeanHart213]

yes and he also records guitar parts in Fleshgod Apocalypse. he's versatile, like Dennis Rondum (ex-Spawn Of Possession)

[EdoCFH]

@codexkali yes

[VELLACIFER]

yes...but in the album I think that in the album plays the drums...Mr. Mauro Mercurio!!!

[Punkwithchains]

Yes, also great band

[markiller91]

@codexkali right!

[MartyrOfMetal]

@codexkali and Fleshgod Apocalypse

[wanemarr]

@codexkali yeah ! and the lead guitarist in fleshgod once

[Blindpain666]

And this is how a drum should be played!

[carlwh123]

Man he is so talented.

It seems like double strokes on the bass drums I think?

[ultimatedrummerlord6]

@carlwh123 If you think he is talented go and check out my vid what i just finished: Embodied Deception!

It was hard work and there is few mistakes but its ok.

And btw great drumming!!

[blastbeattom66]

amazing, was cool meeting you in wakfield you blew me away! haha

[TheSatanCorpse]

Super.

[SchoolIsInSession]

Who plays the piano or keyboard for Fleshgod?

[JacksonUSA0683]

I cannot believe that you've only been playing drums for less than a year and you are this fucking good!!! You're making me wanna go out and buy a drum kit man cause I always liked drums way more than guitar. I've got 16 years of guitar under my belt, but it's never too late to learn something else on top of it.

[metalbound7]

a music genious

[ATtTheGates]

wait scrach that... they already own every big name in metal besides about a handful now all they have to do is...

[ATtTheGates]

Why does everyone all of a sudden love fleshgod. I mean yeah i do to but why. why are they so good...arrrr! Give it another album or two and then what? They already own every other moderate metal band going now theyre chasing down the big names of metal.

[abyssalspecter93]

World's best drummer?

[danmortis]

It's "Thunderous" and yet "Select" the sound of this great band of Brutal Death Metal Italian .... the best of this current decade

[danmortis]

Es "Atronador" y a la vez "Selecto" el sonido de esta gran banda de Brutal Death Metal Italiana....  de lo mejor de esta decada actual !!!

[vso414]

death metal cd of the year

[tetamyn]

why can't they play something fast or technical? haaha jk i bought their cd......and its awesome HORNS!!!

[19raven88]

Amazing Drumming !!!

[VastChoirs]

Damn these guys are like a superior version of Spawn of Possession.

[tetamyn]

FUCK YEA PAOLI RULES!!!!

THE CD IS FUCKING AWESOME!!!

love the classical stuff too, great juxtaposition!

HORNS!!!!!!

[irishman925]

Hey guys i have Oracles coming in the mail hopefully this week it arrives, I cant wait! Come on American tour! We dont get bands with such a raw and brutal sound like you guys very often, we could use you!

Cheers from an Irishman stuck in Florida!

[arconda666]

Cavoli!!! Grande!

[shelter8klon]

a frappa ma quanto cazzo soni!!!tommaso sembra lars urlich quando parla in americano..,grandi raga'!good luck for everything

[Kanamit]

incredible. outstanding bands. both hop and fleshgod.

[skadogg22]

FAP FAP FAP!

[Etherion]

Wait, WHAT. This is the vocalist of Hour of Penance? That's pretty impressive. Not perfect, but still pretty good playing man. Keep it up! Definitely getting Oracles!

[FecalGrind0002]

dude he is fleshgod's drummer

[Etherion]

Well, now he is. They had a previous drummer didn't they..

[Etherion]

Oh nevermind, I got his name confused with the vocalists...the P's I guess. Wild.

[Pupukissa]

Yeah, as far as I know Francesco Paoli is both FA's drummer/rhythm guitarist/back vocalist and Hour of Penance's vocalist.

[Etherion]

The style is really similar to Mauro's though. Even the recording sound...Mauro didn't record this? Might as well of, he's ridiculous, lol.

[NocturiaeoN]

Mauro was the session drummer for the album. This is the replacement drummer (for live I'm guessing)

[infestigation]

This is Francesco, the main singer and guitarist of FA as well singer of HOUR OF PENANCE who learned playing drums within a few months by lack of drummer for forthcoming FA-shows...

[unanutriainfame]

davvero ha imparato in pochi mesi? O.O lo stimo ancora di più!

[BeholdJesse]

On their site it says he did everything but bass on Oracles

[FLAVIOGRAVE]

He was FA's vocalist/guitarist. Now he's the drummer,as you can see in the video,because Francesco Struglia left the band......

[nikkichaffman]

^ stupid frogs....

video is very fappable, cant wait for album!

[blackvalmiki]

ok che suonavi anche la batteria si sapeva...ma porcoiddio....XS non così...complimenti per il progetto e per tutto migliori auguri...

[fasthandsmitty]

dude : ( You don`t sound quite ready to play drums for this. The kicks are floating and nothing is locked in. I love your guys tunes but Francesco your a monster vocalist. I vote not to switch haha

[FleshgodApocalypse]

Smart!

:-)

[fasthandsmitty]

So you agree ? How long have you been playing drums for ?

[FleshgodApocalypse]

5 months now!

[adgaliff]

@FleshgodApocalypse

well apparently you have gotten insanely better on the ep, you guys have no idea how happy i was coming from a Italian family, yet i haven herd of any good death metal from italy until i herd about you guys and hours. keep ragin and forza italia!

[blgdinger3]

@adgaliff hahaha I felt the same way about Poland, then I found Vader! :)

[watthefrack02]

@FleshgodApocalypse ur a Nat err Al

[MartyrOfMetal]

@FleshgodApocalypse Holy shit, and you're already this good?

[SkadaTechDeath]

@fasthandsmitty Yeah I bet if you listened to Mafia, you'd take that back. His drumming is amazing on that. Not bad for drumming for half a year. I envy this guys skill! haha

[SapientMetal]

@fasthandsmitty This confuses me. He sounds more than ready at the time of this video. Any "floating" the kicks are doing and as far as nothing being locked in...it all sounds killer tight to me. They sound dynamic and really spot on.

[ExposedGuts]

Awesome!!! The album is gonna be one of the best Deatj Metal releases of 2009!

Markus / Exposed Guts

[KiKiwrt]

mitico frapppaaaaa!!!

[HatewerK]

Grande Fra, adesso devi imparare l'oboe, il clavicembalo e il sequencer da discoteca.

[lordlucyfer666]

Pure la batteria! France' eccheccazzarola :P

[ARMiF3R]

A Franceeee'... a quando allora sta one man band!? Ahahahahah... mitico! ;)

[SrCDH]

From singer to drummer in four months... incredible!!!!

[dmokbk]

watched the whole thing, and just sat there, in awe

cant wait till the US release

[VoluspaVikings]

Fucking Killer. Glad you guys got signed by Candlelight a while back. Embodied Deception is so fucking sick.

[Vagitarian696]

Hell yeah man that piano intro is so fucking epic.
