  • hail the pioneer...the godfather...the teacher...the S.A.S. of extreme drumming.

  • @RainerWarrior666 even at pete's worst he sounds a hell of a lot better than that so called drummer Lars Ulrich on his best day. \m/

  • pete is so OG!! loved him back since terrorizer. i really dnt care wat these ppl say bcuz honestly as a kid, no one could top his speed.... jst glad to see that hes going down with a fight ngaf!!!!!!!

  • It doesn't fit in that it's not stylistically compatible with the Mozart piece, but his timing is still 100% correct. I wouldn't really bother criticizing it - it's just a novelty track and not part of a a real album.

  • fantastic drummer. no argument

  • his drums are taped so heavily the toms have no resonance.and his snare sounds dead///whats the point?

  • @konerak if IM not mistaking he's playing the symphony.to say it doesn't fit can be interpreted as saying he's not making sense.careful with your less thought out remarks they'll haunt you later, once you catch up

  • Pete is a bad ass. But I don't think ANY drummer can make this work, it just does't fit. This is by far one one Wolfgang's best compositions. It just work with drums =(

  • This made me realize that Classical music is just Black Metal without insane drums.

  • I actually quite enjoyed this. Great to see him back, hopefully he can fix Morbid Angel

  • @LemmyIsMyGod Sadly isnt tim Yeung or Sandoval fault for last album.... :(

  • @Fuck1nMetal Well, imo, i believe it was David Vincent's fault. He put a lot of Industrial sound into illud, since he played in a industrial band beforehand. I dont think Yeung helped write anything, but i could be mistaken.

  • maestro!

  • Loving all the people saying "This is awful in every way" but not actually explaining why.

  • What the fuck is this?

  • the surgery isjust another hurdle for Pete to get over... How much harder can it be than getting up to speed with altars-era Morbid Angel in the space of 2 months? Fucking legend. Massive improvement on the same time last year, his double bass has really improved. That having been said, I wouldn't say he's 'Stronger than ever' But doing mighty well considering his back situation!!

  • Awesome... I can't stop watching this video!

    Thank you Pete!

  • What fucking surgery?

  • This really is awful.

  • @undertakerfreak1127 no it is't. Just does't fit the piece.

  • NICE to see Commando BACK..I really thought he wouldn't recover.Here he plays without hitting hard compared to the drums in M.A.,where he is jumping around on the chair. I would still like to see him gain another 10 kilos(25 pounds) or so. Like Azagthoth have gained some weight,so should Pete,or he might get same problem with his back.The force Pete uses when he drums demands more power in his arms,they are thin like his sticks.Thats why he should lift some weights & gain musclemass IMO!!

  • @NorthernPanzer666 yeah, too bad most drummers dont use much of their elbows and biceps to play with speed. being buff-as-fuck has nothing to do with playing drums. you just want him to look ideally masculine so his Metal Image isnt "Faggy" or "weak". bravo.

  • un des plus mauvais batteur de death métal que je connaisse,il est vraiment pitoyable

    il ferait presque pitié

    mis à part la rapidité il n'y a rien à entendre ni à voir surtout qu'en plus il fais des pains dans le peu de choses qu'il fait

  • mmm!?

    not axis kick pedal!

    tama's hp300!?

  • Comment removed

  • nice to see brutal Pete back on the throne. Great Job!!!!

  • @jameserichardson such as......??please elaborate IM interested

  • I have to be honest - This is truly awful, in so many different regards and on so many different accounts!!

  • @jameserichardson try to learn again to play a drum kit after a operation sir

  • Mozart would be proud. Im a huge Mozart fan and a Morbid Angel and Terrorizer fan. pete did a fantastic job on this.

  • @MachinegunnDrummer exactly, but also you have to think about that he has gone through surgery

  • Comment removed

  • I love Pete, but I couldn't watch that whole thing.

  • I hope he plays for a better band.clearly he's out grown those guys.but now they'll be looking for him no doubt. Trey and Dave posers

  • Shite man, can't wait to see the full footage, i was just wondering when will pete be back and i just found this. Cool video

  • what for is he having this tape on bass drum? and is it just a tape or something under it? i think that I know what and what for is it but im just not sure, so thanks for answer! and great vid ofcourse!

  • @OlszakTheWild To prevent the beaters eventually wearing a hole in the head and/or to stop double triggering from excessive skin vibrations, thats why he has tape on his snare and toms as well.

  • @BourbarianSammy ok thanks, i thought thats to suppress. i love the base drum sound here and i thought that maybe i can reach it with some wipes, tape and plastic beaters :)

  • uhahua ridiculous

    

  • HAIL PETE "COMANDO" SANDOVAAAL!!

  • fucking great to by after a surgery

  • I prefer by far the speed and power of Justin Bieber at the drums.

  • 2:12 is pretty sweet.

  • @dime133 I mean I think it fit the song the best, besides the tom fills then kicks/cymbals at 1:28.

  • Terrible

  • THE GREATEST METAL DRUMMER OF ALL TIME, YOU NEWBIE METAL ASSHOLES!

  • PETE SANDOVAL IS THE PURE ESSENCE OF DEATH METAL PURITY.HAILS COMMANDO!!!

  • every note is just perfect !!! NEVER ever heard something like this! incredible !!!

  • this is truly GENIUS !!!!! PETE SANDOVAL FOREVER!!!!! ur MUSICIANSHIP AND TALENT IS THE GREATEST OF ALL DRUMMERS!!! LOVE U FOREVER !!!!! El Salvador Mara trucha amigo!!! TE QIUERO

  • Yeah!! Pete Sandoval is back!! \m/

  • Maybe not stronger than ever but I like it a lot. It gets stuck in my head and leaves me craving more. Hail Pete!!! Classical and metal drums, EPIC \m/

  • Master Sandoval, please leave the Genius Mozart to rest in peace! What a big mistake to attemped playing that piece.

  • @jukarcas this is a TRUE MASTERPIECE OF PERFECT DRUMMING WITH AN HUGE NAME LIKE MOZART !

  • @jukarcas lol seriuosly? what a bunch of drama faggots

  • this is the first time i've ever heard anything by pete sandoval or any member of morbid angel.

    to describe his playing: kickass! he uses good dynamics and shows great maturity in his playing.

    the only thing im wondering now is that if this was him playing while he's hurt, he must be even better when he's feeling good.

  • @NathanielSaintPaul You should listen Morbid Angel's Covenant album. The song Rapture was the first death metal song I was ever exposed to and it literally changed and shaped my life and aspirations. Listen to "Opening at the Gates" from Gateways to Annihilation by Morbid Angel. That song has some of the fastest double bass you'll ever hear and that came out 11 years ago. Check out another band he was in, (Terrorizer). Check out the song Blasphemy (1989). Enjoy \m/

  • @TheMetalManiac1981 Will do! thanks for the advice

  • How wonderful! Without Pete, Morbid Angel released one of metal's greatest disappointments. Now after recovering from MAJOR BACK SURGERY Pete triumphs, with great passion, will power and great taste in music. Pete once again is a great inspiration and ray of hope to us all. HAIL PETE!!!!!! \m/

  • Som Extremo: O que achou do novo álbum da Morbid Angel - “Illud Divinum Insanus”?

    Sandoval: Sem comentários! Eu não toco naquele álbum!

  • pete shreds on any song he plays. accept it nay sayers.

  • anyone know what kind of pedals petes rockin in these videos?

  • 59 fags

    

  • Good to see pete back!! please get back to morbid angel and get them to write a proper album! Insanus really was the st anger of death metal.

  • Comment removed

  • Welcome Pete

  • Why so much hate? He just recovered from back surgery you dumbfucks! Have some respect for the guy. He's not trying to be Vadrum at all.

  • legendaryyyy

  • retornou em grande estilo!

  • WELCOME BACK, MASTER!!!!!!!

  • we freakin missed you dude!

    no man is compared to ya....welcome back!!!

    go kick more ass

  • i feel like everybody wants to try something different, but i think pete still has metal on his head and honestly i like the song, it was more interesting waching this pete video than the whole " I " album from M.A. bye,, it seems like soon we are going to watch justin wienner playing death metal haha just a joke.

  • I hope you don't follow David Vincent and co. with all that techno-dance bullshit... NEVER. Death metal rules.

  • Mozart? no! You should play The Rite of Spring! That's metal!

  • A supposed extreme metal drummer with weak hits. Interesting.

  • @kamiltop First of all he is recovering from a major back surgery and he is 50 years old. Learn about him and listen to what he has done before you talk shit. He is a legend!!!!!!!

  • @kamiltop Most metal is too fast to be hitting hard all the time. Someone like Kenny Wilson that used to play in Marilyn Manson and plays in Rob Zombie now hits the drums freaking hard. Pete is known for using triggers.

  • @MattBaumann777 Just for the record, no offense, but yes Pete uses triggers, but to write : Pete is known for using triggers, is the same as writing : Azagthoth is known for having distortion on his guitar!! Pete is known for his fantastic drumskills, NOT for using triggers, because 90% of Metal.drummers are using triggers. And you still have to do the same amount of hits on the drums.. But when they are blasting with 270bpm, then it's impossible to keep the same sound on each bassdrumhit :o)

  • The 54 people who dislike this video really needs to have their heads examined. This is genius. Welcome back Commando!! \m/

  • all you haters post a vid with something better...great vid pete welcome back!!!

  • Very interesting combination of classical and metal blast beats.Very creative.I never of Pete Sandoval,but he has great single stroke chops and his interpretation of Mozart is his alone.

  • @wunoteu I hope you are kidding cause this is just terrible playing

  • HAIL MOZART! HAIL PETE SANDOVAL! incredible!

  • Honestly I think this is good. His kit doesn't sound horrible either.

  • @KHfan4ever23 it does.

  • Comment removed

  • @akseeeel How do you figure his kit sounds bad, because his drums have no overtones? That dosent mean that it sounds bad, I actually kinda like it. His toms do sound a little dead, but they still sound ok. Then again, this is just my opinion.

  • @Megaslaytallicathrax Then again that was my own opinion, and i like overtones. So imo they sound horrible.

  • @akseeeel Well I do have to agree with you some what because his drums do sound really dead, and I even have a little bit of overtones in my toms and snare, so its cool.

  • Mozart must be proud!

  • I watched the video of him getting on his kit for the first time in a year, a year ago hahaha, and he would've been able to do this then too..so he's gotta be raping this..

  • Pete is a legend but sadly hes playing is only a shadow of what it used to be...

  • super

  • no, this is just boring

  • What a genius idea! Pete rules, even if the drum kit does sound pretty lame, this is like the coolest drum cover ever... because it's an original drum cover, lol.

  • Poor Mozart...

  • Grande pete sandoval ctm!!!..

    los que hablan del sonido.. ojo que esta sin mezcla..ese es el sonido real..pero no olviden que los tom's estan con Triggers..por lo tanto el sonido final no es lo que estamos escuchando!!

  • Pete, please charge your batteries so that you can stomp David in the face and make him man-up so that Morbid Angel can release another oozing hammer of brutality like "Formulas..." the world needs it.

  • @Gumbo72203 i like this comment yet i have to tell you that david wasnt even on that album! david couldnt be part of that....

  • @Gumbo72203 amen to that!!!!!

  • just in time for the holidays, merry christmas everyone!

  • Comment removed

  • Ted Kirkpatrick from Tourniquet did a whole album of this kind of thing. It was just as shit as this.

  • chingon, pedro

    

  • oh my god he is back BRING ON THE HEAVY

  • to all those who disliked this vid and those who said it is not good: I'd like to take you all to this drum kit and make you play the same, at the same speed after a back surgery. You bastards. For the fucking xmas I wish you all to have the worst day ever in your life.

  • @supporteternal totally dude, fuck you guys and have a shit christmas and a fucked up new year.

  • maybe worse than Illud Divinum InsAnus

  • fantastick

  • Greeeeeeeeat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!

  • God is back

  • I admire Pete's career and trajectory. That being said, If i were to come back from such a long hiatus, I'd probably make sure the drums and mix sound better. The sound is terrible, and the musical piece was perhaps a little too ambitious. Hope Pete gets back in the game.

  • Keep practicing Pete - I hope the back surgery recovery isnt too long.

  • yeah!

    

  • Boring.

  • This was excellent stuff. Such a way to show the world you are back behind the kit!

  • What kind of kitchen is that ?

  • Glad you're back. This is awesome, can't wait to see you live again! :)

  • I really like it.

  • GOOD BUT PETE HAVE TENSION!!!!

  • Nice to see Pete back!

    That being said, this is awful.

    You're a legend Pete, but stick to death metal.

  • Comment removed

  • what a horrible sounding kit

  • Pete, como siempre, tiene mucho talento pero la mezcla es un desastre. Esperemos que no sea la mezcla final...

  • pfff desastre volvio en gloria y majestad y nada menos con 25th Symphony de Mozart's.

  • WELCOME BACK PETE!

    Good to have you back

  • Oh my fuucking god!!!, Im glad man!!!, Greetings to you from venezuela dude!, Pete hermano, saludos desde Venezuela, de verdad ya hacias falta, y mas en Morbid Angel, no es lo mismo sin ti, tu eres la vida de Morbid Angel junto a Trey, por mi que salga de nuevo la nena de david vincent, que sinceramente con sus gestos femeninos y narcicistas daña hoy en dia la esencia de la banda!, welcome back dudeeeee, (gracias por la baqueta que me regalaste en maracayu venezuela y por la buena conversacion)

  • hell yeah!!! mr. Sandoval you are the best!!! :D

  • Tim Yeung, whose days are numbered pete is back....

  • He's not performing Mozart's 25th Symphony, he is performing a drums arrangement made for it. Correct me if i am wrong.

  • @overcontrol excuse me, but it's not fair to say he's playing Mozart's 25th symphony because Mozart didn't write drums parts.

  • 0:31 same beat as in the possessed song the exorcist

  • !!!!!

    

  • Welcome back pete! You've been missed!!!

  • Pete is still the greatest drummer ever \m/

  • kit sounds crap.

  • @B00ZETUBE It does sound shitty yes, but you have to know the guy came from morbid angel. trying to get your kit as raw and grimmey as you possibly can is part of deathmetal sadly haha and if you don't do that you just trigger the fuck out of it

  • @boobmonter64 Thank you but I am well aware of both Morbid Angel and the whole acoustic v triggered DM drum sound debate. Have you heard 'Covenant'? Great natural acoustic kit sound. This just sounds bad. And no, I don't prefer it when he triggers very drum on the kit either, that sounds bad too.

  • @B00ZETUBE

    Actually.....Covenant was all sound replaced. Was told that by Morrisound studios when we recorded In Cold Blood there in 96.

    D

  • @B00ZETUBE no way, Drums sounds very like the ones on Blessed!

  • I love the precission. It makes me wat to do something similar myself with one of Motzarts tunes. Thank you for inspiring my double bass playing through the years Pete. I love you man. Ivan Ganchev/ on facebook :)

  • AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

  • welcome back!!!!!!

  • Awesome. Welcome back, Commando. Hail Pete Sandoval.

  • is a battery monster fucking wow! Pete is awesome is awsome

  • His sense of rhythm is crap.

  • one of the early pioneers of extreme drumming ! good to see you´r still going good! wellcome back!

  • Totally overrated. Lombardo did this over a decade ago and better.

    Pete's drum sound is as horrible as ever.

    He's nowhere near the top in death metal drumming.

  • @RainerWarrior666 well looks at he´s age, of course he can´t compete with these younger and modern new drummers, such as G.Kollias or R.Goulon but i´m sure he was and still is a great influence on them, and respect the one who has albuns such as "Altars of Madness, World Downfall or Covenant " etc...

  • @waratthewarfield No doubt he was an influence. But look at Gene Hoglan. He is a superior drummer in every way and only four years younger. But he also takes better care of himself. Pete's cramped playing style most certainly contributed to his back problems.

  • @RainerWarrior666 yeh that is true, Gene is awesome, and plays with great techniques, but Pete well, had little formal training / musical education... he developed his skills on his own i guess, naturally like you said that contributed to his health problems.

  • @waratthewarfield I hope you get hit by a bus. Not killed, just hit by a bus.

    Show some respect guys. Yes, it's not the usual gravity blast filled heeltoe bullshit that's typically uploaded these days. It's just Pete recovering from a huge surgery and having fun doing what he loves. PLAYING MUSIC THAT HE LIKES.

  • @drumsistkrieg1349 Wtf is wrong with you? i didn´t say anything against Pete or this video, fuck off you inbred retarded cunt.

  • @RainerWarrior666 He was at the top for over 20 years. He is one of the pioneering death metal drummers. Definitely one of the fastest drummers in the late 80's, 90's and 2000-2009. (Faster than Lombardo) What happened? HE HAD MAJOR BACK PROBLEMS AND SURGERY AND HE IS 50 YEARS OLD!!!!!!! \m/

  • PETE!

    

  • Good to hear! Poor session drummer must be pretty pissed :D.

  • All this magnificent performance from Commando needs is a wall of guitars, bass and roaring vocals and we would have the death metal song of 2011!

  • go back to morbid angel and release that "i" album, and make sure david vincent is out of there, he sounds gay and he looks gay and made a great band gay. go pete go!

  • @MrCarnage7 i agree but look at freddie mercury, he is the best musician and singer ever and he was gay, but i know what you mean, dave is another sort of "gay"

  • Awesome Pete can´t wait to order your dvd , you have always been my main influence , i am very happy that you are behind the drumlit again.

  • Great to see you back, Pete!!!

    Also, did any of you notice that this vid is in HTML5 and not flash? :3

  • Please come to Asia again with Morbid Angel or Terrorizer!

  • COMMANDOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!­!
