  • does anyone know what drumkit he is using?

  • @xDrumMasterizationx Tama Starclassic Bubinga

  • the only thing i dont understand is why some drummers have two bass drums when they are using a double pedal anyways. Is the image of having two separate bass drums really THAT important to metal?

  • @Whitesekurity13 Yes. For one reason: When playing double base at high speeds (180 bpm and higher) if you're using a double pedal it chokes the drum head causing a funk sound which can only be fixed by the use of triggers or some intense fucking around in the studio.. So, that's why you'll see most metal drummers use two base drums, aside from looking bad ass, it allows the drums to breathe (resonate in between strokes) and give a better sounding double bass.

  • @ProfessorBastard no i get that, i mean he has two bass drums, but instead of two single pedals, he is using a double. Nothing is hitting the left bass drum.

  • @Whitesekurity13 Yea, my best guess is that he didn't have enough time to correctly tune his other bass drum.

  • I catched his drum stick yesterday!!!!!

  • I have met and seen Daniel perform a good amount of times, hands down this guy is amazing and a class act as well. Gotta love his style hes my inspiration for drumming!!!!!

  • the drums fill is my favorite in this in flames song. cuz most of their other songs are dominated by either anders or the 2 guitarists. but the drums in this one is just the best

  • OMG

  • the best drummer i have ever known. not need any words

  • Haha check the rack out looks like its gonna bend:P

  • Outstanding drummer! Met him after a show they played in Hollywood. Him and Bjorn are by far the coolest guys of the 5. He was asking what my favorite in flames album was, and my favorite song, and was just really cool and genuine. One thing I find interesting, and I couldn't tell if he still does this from this video, but he has 2 bass drums, but his kick pedals only hit one. The other one literally has no function. It's just for show. Not sure if that's still the case.

  • @poopjuice0 he did that in this video! i don't really get why they do that?!

  • @poopjuice0 I've seen guys that used different size/tune bass drums in their sets. Possible that those are different sizes or tunings.

    Also possible that it's just for show though.

  • pff k ritmos mas perfectos del 1:06 al 1:41 me enkantan

  • Great !

  • i love that guy

  • .. are you really sure that professional drummer cannot play hard and fast? This isnt even a topic here to discuss. The world is full of show off drummers... filling every second with billions of kicks. but still the best drumming is technically clean and understandable.

    Daniel Svensson is one of the very best metal drummers. And my total favourite

  • @alainjepp i agree that speed aint everything in drumming. And i personally digg alot of what daniel does with in flames. But i most also say that i think the recent album is a bit boring drumwise. But tbh the whole album was a let down, compared to earlier releases. Not saying it's musicly bad. Just not what i expected from in flames. But tho it was a pleasent surprise that when i saw them live cuple of weeks ago for the third time, they played the best show ever.

  • @nonhasthisusername

    For now i have the latest album, and know every note by heart..so i can answer to you.. i agree theres not much to compare to earlier albums but actually thats the thing that makes the last release so special... i also had my own expectations before but it all turned a huge suprise after the first listening. :)

  • @alainjepp well i think they are going the wrong direction, am sorry to use such hideous words, but sellouts, they make the music softer to reach a broader audience, instead of pleasing the fans that took them to where they are by going heavier. everyone knows in flames nowadays, you don't have to be a metal fan to like them. and when i said they did a good show was mostly because they only played 1 or 2 songs from the new album...

  • @nonhasthisusername

    I totally agree with you! in flames have gone more easy listening for now... fortunately they havent lost theyre ability to make real good music... i suprised because of the "construction" of the songs and the whole album.. so many different and new. New melodies, Anderses vocals, totally different approaching- thanks to Bjorn, he made it and love it. I dont expect they create anything like from 90s anymore.. anything that goes for the money goes for the masses..

  • @alainjepp Finally someone that understands! I bet you like Ulrich as well?

  • @alainjepp he has a plug in his ear counting for him.. so no he is not one of the best..

  • @hardcoredubby

    We dont know what he listens from the plug there.. ;)

  • @alainjepp yes we do my familys friend built the program in that plug.. so yes!

  • I'd say he's one of the better metal drummer out there, but no drummer in the metal scene can compare to Dirk Verbeuren, he's in a league of his own

  • Comment removed

  • do you guys remember that weekly report they did before there new album, where daniel was always running and drumming around naked looking for beer?

  • @paladin2422 haha hell yeah xD He still does :) Naked Wednesdays :))

  • did you notice hes is having a double pedal? he is not using 2 bass drums its just standing there

  • I Hate people who disscredit musicians just because their drummers, drums take as much talent and skill as any other instrument. Drumming may be easier to pick up then say guitar but it takes as much time and comitment if not more to master.

  • his whole drums are shaking

  • @FlorianWaletzko thats how you know he's a good drummer

  • Love Daniel and the whole In Flames x). favourite band! Btw Daniel is not the best drummer in the world, but that doesnt matter becuase the way hes playing is GREAT for In Flames!!

  • Drums on Brush The Dust Away are perfectly insane! Awesome. Plus Daniel looks such a cool guy.

  • i love in flames i think theyr an awesome band. but daniel is really far from being the best drummer. the drum parts in in flames are incredibly easy to play, even i can play most(not all) of them and ive been playing drums for about a year. im not saying theyr bad or anything they fit in well. guess my point is in flames is an awesome band, daniel is a good drummer, but really far from the best :P

  • @HyporiZ I guess you haven't tried any of the more complicated ones. He's not the best in the world, not even close. But you've got to be a wonderchild more or less to be able to play the majority of In Flames songs after only a year!

  • @Oxpost because he is a lire and a troll

  • @ACDCman1727 sorry? i said in flames songs are easy to play(compared to alot of other metal bands) i never said that its bad because its not hard to play ... whos the troll here :/

  • @Oxpost not the "majority" of the songs. i havent even tried to play that many. sure they have songs that are pretty hard, but most of them are very technically easy to play, im not a wonderchild =)

  • @HyporiZ " the drum parts in in flames are incredibly easy to play, even i can play most(not all) of them". Give me names on these easy songs then.

  • @Oxpost okay ... cloud connected, the quiet place, like you better dead, free fall .. just a few.

  • @HyporiZ Try to play Leeches, Take this life, Crawling through knives from Take this life album. And March to the shore, the mirrors truth, Drenched in fear from A sense of purpose.

  • @skateboardlover22 yes they have harder songs. i probably cant play the songs u mentioned. but that doesnt mean theyr hard, ive been playing for a year. i just meant if u compare them to alot of other metal bands, in flames drum tracks are easy. im not bashing on in flames nor their drummer, i love in flames and i think the drums sound good ... my point was that daniel is really far from being the best metal drummer, which he is.

  • @HyporiZ It's not about rating or ranking drummers, it's about making music.

  • @Oxpost oh yea only for the weak, its probably the easiest out of all of them.

  • @HyporiZ So... 5 songs? Out of how many?!

  • @Oxpost was a few examples dude ... jeez lol

  • @HyporiZ Drums are not about difficulty you fuck.

  • I think all can agree that Daniel's not the world's greatest drummer, but i think his drumparts is allways very tasteful att fitting to the guitar riffs.

  • N.I.C.E O.O!

  • he he he .... love the way his kit dances!!

  • IN FLAMES WE TRUST!

  • omg... those cymbals are eyegasm...

  • @emilbestcool1 and also eargasm, especially the ride:)

  • hes alright, but drummers who have two bass drums but use a double bass pedal are fucking losers haha. i could understand why they would do that for recording purposes. but or live scenerios whats the point of adding a drum if your not going to use it.

  • @Synetik4 the point of adding the drum is pretty much just to fill the void and keep your kit spaced out. Plus tuning two bass drums is really time consuming and having a double pedal has its advantages.

  • @deathmetal293 i know i use a double bass pedal, tuning two bass drums to the same pitch is irratating. but seriously, the set looks cooler, but definitely doesnt make it any easier to set up, its just another drum to work around. ive tried two bass drums, and i do too enjoy the look but after a while its just less room for other attachments, pedals etc...

  • @Synetik4 its different if your using a drum rack, i dont know if you are or not but a friend of mine uses one and has two bass drums just as daniel has in the video. no need for stands so theres usually a big space where another bass drum would go.

  • @deathmetal293 yeah i do use a drum rack haha. its true you have room for another kick drum. but why? if your not going to use it then its only there for looks, which isnt really a bad thing because it does look cool, im just saying, if ever you want further attachements or hardware etc, it could take up room for no reason.

  • @Synetik4 I appreciate your comment...many years ago (when I had my acoustic set) I bought another bass drum for "appearance" but without thinking about how it would affect my set up (spatially)...consequently, I never used it (and it's sitting in my kitchen where it's storing a bag of items I don't even use - so THIS is why I bought this extra bass drum!!!...hehe)...double bass pedals are much more accommodating (space-wise)...

  • @Synetik4 I definately agree with you about tuning the two bass drums to the same pitch. it sucks. But there is just something about actually using the other bass drum that sounds so much more powerful. with a double pedal it takes away from the resonance of the bass drum. It feels better to me too. but to each his own

  • @uhstud68 no i know that. its because with a double bass pedal, the second beater hits the batter head while its still resonating so it doesnt get a chance to ring out as much.

  • With no doubt one of the best drummers ever!

  • i love the double bass towards the end. the timing is lovely and sits so well in the song

  • i love how the whole set moves.

  • JAJA van'ma kem la kavar le more te lore kompelo

  • seit wann ist danial mitglied bei in flames

  • @toastbrot21016

    Ehh seit 13 Jahren!!

  • Daniel is awesome, he's very accurate and tight with his drumming. I'd say Chris Adler is better tho, but Joey Jordison doesn't stand a chance xD

  • Man, it sucks how totally under-rated this guy is. He's got to be one of the best metal drummers out there today.

  • @Vienershmaken good drummer yes, best metal drummer, not a chance

  • @pdpdrummer1337 well, not THE best but he's definitely up there. I don't know that you fully understand what you're talking about...respectfully.

  • @Vienershmaken well it depends what factors you consider as metal drumming? he does play very clean and with good technique but others like chris adler and jason bittner in my personal opinion play better with more energy and speed, and to me thats metal drumming

  • @pdpdrummer1337, Energy and speed certainly are two very defining elements of extreme metal drumming. Both of which are more than generously represented on this album, A Sense of Purpose (2008) and more so in In Flames' previous release, Come Clarity (2006). Daniel is exceptional with his abilities with old styled hardcore punk style one-and-two-ee-and, as well as traditional metal double bass 16ths and 32nds, not to mention typical metal style fills.

  • @Vienershmaken oh i completely agree with you he does have all the elements but i watch him play and i just dont enjoy it as much as watching someone like mike portnoy or chris adler, but i do understand what your saying

  • @pdpdrummer1337 It's all a matter of opinion, I guess. Mike Portnoy could probably play circles around this guy.

  • @Vienershmaken thats where you are wrong, dont underestimate this guy, he's awesome!

  • what song is this

  • @DrumBum561 It's on the title. It's Disconnected...

  • i had a dream last night he p;ayed guitar cos jesper left and he asked me to play drums.....sad it was over such a good band and such a good drummer..and an amazing kit great double bass work

  • muito bom, quero apresentar meus videos, acesse solo robao batera, abraço e ate mais.

  • @mercyalex he uses two bass drums for the aesthetic part of it. he uses a doubl3e pedal because keeping two bass drums in the same tuning fasion while youre on tour is not ideal. hope this helps!

  • look at feet camera, i never understand why svensson has a double bass but he always use a double pedal.. does someone can answer me?

  • @mercyalex looks just cool

  • @mercyalex

    cause its easier. his second bassdrum is only for show. the drumset looks bigger. his drumtech have to tune only ONE bassdrum. he needs only ONE microphone for ONE bassdrum

  • where is the real creativity? im not saying he is a bad drummer, i love in flames but its seriously just not very creative..

  • This song is totally metal...

  • kick ass drummer from a kick ass band :D:D

  • Meinl all fucking day!

  • daniel is great. but like him more in sacrilege.

  • lots of blast beats! \m/

  • Double bass in this song is superb.

  • Wow! Impressing double bass - kixx ass

  • that bassdrum is azum B-) In Flames We Trust!!<3 swedish power :DD

  • ride? anyone....

  • Looks like an MB20 heavy bell ride, i could be wrong though.

  • love in flames

  • I don´t like the sound but that´s a question of taste

  • sounds better on the album

  • it's a tama starclassic. don't think they would give one of their important artists something like a superstar

  • poor sound on cymbals, need more microphone

  • It might be Tama with Evans heads...

  • I wanna know a brand of this set. Does anyone know?

  • i think its tama superstar performer or sth like that

  • What the drumkit is this?

    It's the most awesome bassdrumm sound i ever heard

  • yeah u're right it souds like... in flames :P

  • Daniel Svennson uses Tama Starclassic (Maple Toms, Bubinga Bass & Snare) and the heads he has on the bass are clear Evans EQ3's.

  • @Dsteve96 can i ask where you got this info from?

    thx!

  • @somos999 Wikipedia, haha

  • @Dsteve96 lool dammit! thx anywayz :P

  • in flames sold out!

  • I've been there at the meinl drum festival. it was his first gig without a band and infront of 2000drummers!!! he was quite nervous but i think he made a great job although he is no clinic drummer at all. live the drumms sounded better than this rough mix

  • poor on snare

  • i saw in flames live with killswitch engage couple of weeks ago, i will remember that consert forever

  • mistakes or not, he's a great drummer, one of my favourites!! i saw him live, and he fucking rocked!! in flames for life!!!

  • @0Zakk0

    He dident make any misstake,

    They sometimes live choose to play some fills different becuse they´re bored

  • @TheTECNJonsson

    I don't find any mistakes, someone else maybe!

  • @TheTECNJonsson definitely made a few slip ups

  • @TheTECNJonsson i wish that there was some lock button to keep your comment on top.

  • He made the fucking song. Dumbass. this IS Daniel Svensson, The drummer of In Flames.

  • yes you're right. but it's so hard to play this live perfectly and daniel is a great drummer. he is my idol

  • And where is your perfect cover?

  • I HOPE THEY ARE NOT GETTING PAID?

  • I like the sound :)

  • impresionante, como toca el cabronazo.

  • cheese

  • Great drummer but needs to go for a more open drum sound I think.

    It all sounds too muffled.

    xo.

  • hey whats that song

  • lets tead the tittle of the vid,,,

    1st the name of the drummer then the name of the festival then the name of the song;)

  • la cancion lo pone ahi DISCONECTED

  • k no es muy buen bateria???? pero k dices si es muy bueno esta cancion es una de las mejores de bateria

  • No es mmuy buen bateria

  • can some body tellme wich song is these???

    alguien sabe que cansion es esta??

    thanks!!!

  • This guy reminds me a bit of Jason Bitner. He's a good metal drummer, no doubt, but a bit sterile.

  • in flames 4 life

  • fuck you maightykong you sucks.

  • lang is such a beast of a drummer

  • Daniel is a fucking king!!

  • Mightykong shall die a very long painful death 0.o, going around saying things like that for no reason is gonna get you completely floored by a random fucker one day, the only reason metal sucks to you is because you dont have an open mind to everything, seriously, grow up kid

  • mightykong likes empire of the sun, enough said, lolz

  • 1- Metal doesn't suck, it's just you.

    2- Hell doesn't exist. And if 'God' was real, he'd hate you.

  • ahahaha!

  • Is there a dvd or something with this on, and maybe even some lessons, i've got a drum dvd with Shannon Larkin from Godsmack, and that helped me alot

  • That ride sounds fucking awesome.

  • love the band and the drummer. best part is when hes got the half-time feel on the china. i always messup the switch back

  • You are a Fucking Joke!!! Daniel is awesome!!!!

  • those cymbals look and sound like a customs

  • except they have giant meinl logos on them, not zildjian lol

  • HAHAH

  • His Cymbals are all Meinl MB20.

    Does anybody know which sizes they are?

  • Go and look his profile at Meinl's site.

  • the setups sometimes arent up-to-date. like jon rice's is wrong last i checked and compared to his new vid

  • The set configuration might not be the same but the cymbals are.

  • wikipedia does not know?

  • 12 and 10 inch rock splashes, 14 hats, 22 metal bell ride, two 16 and one 18 heavy crash, 18 china

  • Comment removed

  • the kit is one of the best ive ever heard .. raspect ..

    you must hear this video with a headset with bass vibration .. the double kicks are awesome

    5 stars

  • i think hi's kicks are awesome in this video,altho on the albums with in flames they sound shit,low and uneaven,but that might be becouse of the mixing,or they just prefer it that way,nice in this vid tho...

  • fucking great china!

  • its a mb20 china

  • The Toms need more smack........

    Other then that, FUCKING AWESOME!!!!!!

    In flames we trust \m/

  • Sorry, but this kit sounds very bad... imo

  • ES LA MAMADAA

  • i love the double kicks

  • i think the hi-hat has a little bit powerful sound but the toms arent so bad.

  • the one thing i don't like about Daniel is how he places the hi-hat so far from the snare and his body, i am used to it being a lot closer.

  • what type of music do you play? yeah the only thing i dont like is his toms, like some other people said. too dull and tight for me.

  • i don't play any music haha, sorry what i meant by i am used to it being closer i just meant that most of the other drummers from the other bands i listen have to hi-hat way closer to their body and it just looks weird having it this far away lol

  • oh well my band is like pop punk/metalcore and i like my hats pretty far out and pretty high up.

  • great cymbals , great drumming.

    although the hihat is really heavy for my taste, and those toms ... yuck

  • In flames!

  • His toms have no resonance (N)

    Great cymbals though!

    xo.
