The Faceless - Ancient Covenant - Drum cam

[ChandlerCahilldrums]

freakin good quality!

[BurnThePope0514]

Also come on people I can't be the only stoner here who plays the drums. His mouth is open becuase he has cotton mouth and its impossible to play mouth closed like that. Try it!

[BurnThePope0514]

@killchargemembrfrank ya Muhammad from Necrophagist or whatever does vocals and plays. I like The Faceless better as a over all band, but Necro has them beat on crazy tech guitar

[FunkshipRenegade]

This guys is awesome but he always looks like hes jizzing

[d3tach3d]

fucking amazing drummer.

[Slipknotx1992]

how the fuck does anyone dislike this?

[paxeman1993]

2:49 groovy as fuck

[Ruttenpojk]

That's the best damn snare sound I've ever heard in death metal! I wantz it, I needz it! Anyone knows what snare he's using?

[Thedeathmetalshit]

oh my god he's sleep drumming :O

[wipezama]

he uses axis pedals? or demon drive?

[Mooning2314]

@wipezama axis long boards i think

[nounever]

@wipezama axis triggered, I have noth now and sound the same except from I am shit at playing the blasts in this song in the chorus and fuck up the ending every time.

[DethMetalDrums]

Holy shit.

[mrfreedomthomas]

This dude is a very good drummer but my god he's going to have major back problems further down the road if he keeps that posture.

[SouthBronxParadise1]

Strangest posture ever, but the skills are undeniable.

[SpartanCarver]

There's no way he's not going to have have back problems, if he doesn't already. Phenomenal playing but that hunch is not healthy.

[NeAerA90]

i guess he´s the only guy who can play that technical while looking like he´s getting a blow job for the first time. this is outstanding. pure awesomeness.

[martstyle12]

Very nice but is he able to play californication ?

[Hypermantrasoul]

@martstyle12 What you said was a joke right? If he can play this I'm sure he could easily play Californication, lol. Technical, extreme, metal musicians play at high rates of bmp, along with accuracy, so anything mainstream and groovy would be a piece of cake for them, lol.

[UberLeonid]

@Hypermantrasoul Yes, that was a joke

[jinijava420]

@Hypermantrasoul Captain Obvious checking in... Sup mate! Anything interesting? :D

[asadodemierda]

@martstyle12 I don't think so, but Chad Smith is not able to play this either!

[jorge23000]

Its all about precision

[killchargemembrfrank]

GUITARISTS! I Wana play ancient covenant with my band. Do u think it is possible to play that song on guitar an sing at the same time?

[UberLeonid]

@killchargemembrfrank I'm bassist and I don't think you can sing while playing this

I can't, there are a lot of people who can sing while playing, but this is to hard

[masterflizzle]

@killchargemembrfrank It would be tough, but I'll be supportive and say you could.

[matheuswylde]

I thought he was blind.

[rippingthroughmetal]

Keene's a great guitarist and all, but live, Lyle is just flawless. He's always spot on, and he makes it look so easy! Looking forward to seeing these guys again on Summer Slaughter this year! \m/

[razr242]

2:49 Favorite Part In Drumming (:

[xpmartyr84]

omg,I've played the original studio song over this video muted,and drum parts are swiss clock precise :D amazing drummer :D

[drag0nfis7]

The bass is heel/toe technique right? Cuz his legs are moving half the speed of the drumming, so it must be heel/toe

[xpmartyr84]

@drag0nfis7 no i dont think so,i' ve watched some old videos of him,singles only :D

[bloomsta1]

he wrote this song so catchy that it was impossible to forget it thats y he can play with his eyes closed ;)

[kevin5871]

Begin integration, of the hybrid population!



[kevin5871]

Alot of the negative comments from trolling idiots trying to nitpick this guy just puts their ignorance and low self esteem on display for the world to see....I agree the posture will probably come to bite him in the ass later in life, but to make inane comments about faces or whatever is just asinine and irrelevant...what IS relevant is his playing, which is incredibly technical and virtually flawless.....This band puts me in mind of Death, the pioneers of technical death metal (my opinion).

[CRGentile]

Where si this guys helmet??? SIck/

[kernalhotdog27]

FLAWLESS VICTORY!

[DavySolaris]

His posture is fucking shocking man, it's almost painful to watch. But I guess the results speak for themselves, amazing playing. very musical and fluid compared to a lot of technical metal drummers.

[IdimmuXul]

I love the way he plays drums.

ARMS: relaxed,

TORSO: dead . . .

FACE: Orgasm.

[jethro013]

He's like doin nothing. Holy shit!

[z0mgzt0m]

Love how The Faceless are one of the most technical bands out there at the moment and they play a tighter show than any band that plays music no where near as technical as this.

[DDrummr41]

@z0mgzt0m I completely agree with you. But, in my opinion, it is easier to play technical music cleaner, than it is to play slower, not as technical music. When you're so focused on playing all the notes in between the 1/4 notes of a song, your brain stays on track, where as less involved songs have too much room in between the 1/4 notes to get off timed.

[z0mgzt0m]

@DDrummr41 I see what you mean, that you have more breaks so you have to be on the ball, whereas technical music is so fast that you are always occupied playing notes , so i guess you develop momentum.

I agree with that to an extent, but i still think that given how complex some of the chords/rhythms are and stuff that it is far more difficult to play tighter than simpler music

[DDrummr41]

@z0mgzt0m True. I guess i was more or less focused on the drum aspect of the songs. But yeah, i totally understand where you're coming from.

But i do have to admit, this was the nicest convo ive ever had on youtube. XD

[z0mgzt0m]

@DDrummr41 Lol i know, usually get trolled to shit xD

[dexsullivan]

is this nigga for real!?

[plugza]

Look at his face. I can tell for him this is the easiest job in the world

[912joeskee]

Damn, i guess it wasn't sarcasm when he said "I can play this song in my sleep!"

[MrFred10100]

@912joeskee i was going to say exact same thing i geuss were the only ones who noticed that that he had his eyes close the entire time during the song lmfao

[twelvelookslike]

He doesn't know where he is

[christopherdozois]

F@#ing Amazing!!!

[dreamtheaterz28]

Bro looks stoned as fuck!

[ANGSTDMC]

ghost notes = All 

[Cyrisik95]

I don't know why, but this song makes me sleepy.. awesome song though :D

[AppleTree84]

His fills are just soooooo satisfying to listen to

[reverendvile666]

\m/ Sick band. New album is the shit.

[TheSkullShank]

fucking phenom.

[brootalJam]

His posture is pretty bad haha but he's a fantastic drummer and it looks like no effort for him.

[axxewraith]

These few drum cam videos are literally the best videos i've ever seen

[TheZooyork17]

he can play with his eyes closed . woohh O.O

[TheWezel1995]

Like that's the most awesome thing he can do lol

[fukinluvfukingshitup]

if you can play drums like that you can make any fuckin face you want

[HarriboLOL]

Dude looks like he has down syndrome and his jizzed his pants

[Mooning2314]

itd be cool if he taught lessons

[uhalde1]

@Mooning2314 he does

[Mooning2314]

[Almost5768]

[Almost5768]

[ghonnorea666]

Tight as hell.

[rigolith]

[Mooning2314]

[Mooning2314]

0:50 hes thinking "Drumming...Drumming...Drummin­­g...Pussy...drumming"

[Gilligunz]

@Mooning2314 I think the guitar player was think the same thing at the same time due to that nasty missed fret.

[drummakid101]

That slouching is gonna kill him one day and it sucks because he's such a talent.

[MrAkumaGouki]

he looks stoned :P

[cliffdaddy126]

Sounds just like whitechaple....and beneath the massacre.....and black dahlia murder......and rings of saturn.......and job for a cowboy......and every other gay grindcore band out nowadays

[BurglaryoftheSenses]

@cliffdaddy126 Which is weird, 'cause none of them are grindcore.

[DreamTheater4life]

@cliffdaddy126 even though none of those bands sound alike or are grindcore. misinformed fail troll is misinformed

[KaddJ1211]

@cliffdaddy126 You need your ears checked pronto. Better yet, you might as well just get 'em replaced.

[cliffdaddy126]

@KaddJ1211 Shut the fuck up fag, your a little bitch and I'll bet you'd like to suck it too

[KaddJ1211]

@cliffdaddy126 To call someone useless names like "little bitch" on the internet just further proves you're ignorance and moreover, your occupation as a troll. Get the fuck out.

[cliffdaddy126]

@KaddJ1211

make me

[KaddJ1211]

@cliffdaddy126 Again, this proves you're ignorance + stupidity. There's no hope.

[xBezerkerrr]

he looks so fucking tired but he still keeps at it

[TheGooseTavern]

triggers? =/

[BurglaryoftheSenses]

@TheGooseTavern Are triggers a problem?

[TheGooseTavern]

@BurglaryoftheSenses ehhh idk...i don't prefer them if they pick up every little hit with the punch of one massive hit....i was jus wonderin

[rooneyrodriguez11]

the drummer has a mental illness, none of you knew that? aha

[JuliePatton100]

how can such a bozo ass looking mother fucker play so well

[clanofhyrule]

this gave me a boner

[MetalheadedMcLovin51]

They are so amazingly tight! \m/

[Oxidized181]

O.O i think i was just dreaming.... he so fucking amazing and tech it's crazy

[sukablianah2]

He is posessed

[bigbobross]

2:48 is jaw dropping.

[Mooning2314]

0:50 hes thinking "Drumming...Drumming...Drummin­g...mmm pussy...drumming"

[HCMetalhead2010]

Terrible posture, my back would kill. But sick playing!

[alanhatedrummer]

all the faces he makes remind me of myself xD

[PlugThePull]

Very inspiring. This drummer makes me want to pratice 'till death !

[Shipps941]

the 5 people who disliked this deserve to be kicked in the head by this guy

[Cyrisik95]

[rune931]

[D1V1N3M0M3N7S0F7RU7H]

[geeksterz]

watching this makes my back hurt

[tmp2295]

.......and im a mormon

[thewowbud]

I think he just joined the ranks of the gods....

[Mirtiska]

The most brilliant part of him drumming, is basically that he almost never looks at where he hits. blind drumming. FUCKING AWESOME keep on drumming!

[neilpeartrocks2112]

this looks sped up.... but it's not o.0

[trinashinead]

saw him @ camden last year he's sooooooooo fkn gooood

[ToTheSummitkicksass]

just.... ahh!!

[xbulldog12x]

[Havokki1]

Oh yeah, making art out of drumming, face full of sweat but fuck yeah, i still keep on blasting!

[pepsipepp]

this guy is truly faceless!

[alfaro999]

this guy enjoys blast beats the same as a guy enjoys a nice handy J

[xHUTSEx]

The Sleepless

[reaver901]

@xHUTSEx

hahahahahahahahaha

[shivsaxena]

are the drums triggered?

[lovestospooge109]

@shivsaxena yes.

[TWANSONFOH]

@shivsaxena Just the kicks.

[ItCameFromOverThere]

@shivsaxena Alesis DM5 raggae kick pitched down 2 notches = bass drum trigger setup. The rest of the kit was mic'd (and very well at that).

[shivsaxena]

@ItCameFromOverThere ight thx

[fifielcoolio]

if ya think he looks bad ya should see me tryin to play this shit!! :)

[snackeye12]

holy balls.

[rko123jja]

the faceless more like the expressionless

[Barc0de1989]

That's how a drummer has to look like! Enjoying his playing so much that he looks like he is cumming any second!

[champioe]

You need a great concentration to play like that. It's pretty technical and very difficult to play this style of music

[MechanixPL]

Who gives a shit about the faces he makes. The dude is tearing it up--very clean blasts and no twitching.

[kietey14]

@MechanixPL His faces are still priceless. I love em, lets us know how into the music he is!

[kernalhotdog27]

@MechanixPL As true as that is, he does make some silly faces

[RobertPowerNS]

@MechanixPL apparently quite a few people give a shit about the face he is making. its funny! of course his playing is fucking amazing as well.

[MechanixPL]

@RobertPowerNS I'd give my left nut and make even stupider aces to play like him. LOL.

[MechanixPL]

@MechanixPL I meant 'faces'. Sorry.

[zoombooma]

This guy is incredible.

[zeesupahgerman]

the whole time -- "EEEEEEEEEeeeeeyugh!....uhhhhh­hHHHGH.....HMMmmmmm....HEEEYOI­GH" **blast beat blast beat**

[VeilOfAgaeon]

How fucking high is he?

[Ecwjr007]

looks like he's getting it in

[Gopod]

This is what happens when you are faced with a highly technical band like The Faceless...

[eRRoRCODE7xerarch666]

He looks bored shitless xD

[crow66693]

@eRRoRCODE7xerarch666 its called being focused

[Mooning2314]

blast for blast, groove for groove .. he looks like the highest drummer ever!

[waveoflight]

Coke is an amazing drug.

[AbysmalMattias]

bad ass

[oooWONKAooo]

Tech nique

[knighthash]

insane video quality..

[inamoratasamazing]

Honestly, I don't see what people see in Thordendall(sp). I have heard nothing interestin from him that nobody else has done, yet all my friends say he's the best guitarist of all time...yet I don't hear anybody talk about their drummer, who IS the fucking best drummer around right now.

[ironikkronik]

I am now faceless O_o

[lovestospooge109]

those five dislikes are from people with out faces.

[20bstone]

This is easily the best quality drumcam I have ever seen. Very underrated drummer.

[inamoratasamazing]

5 people gave up drumming after watching this video.

[toadyalfred]

3:20 - end. He's fuckin FEELIN that shit!

[88MapeX88]

all of that for a few drops of sweat,  amazing!

[sik6dsix]

Sick, very sick..

[gzals]

Mark Zuckerberg....computer AND DRUM genius!!

[YouNoob93]

@gzals Lyle Zuckerberg? haha

[seynnaeve]

3:08 is like fucking unbelieviably fast

[PdPdrums25]

It's crazy noticing the difference of styles once it breaks into the groove at the end.

It's like watching a completely different drummer.

[Xactualize]

this guy is nuts

[Mooning2314]

note for note he looks like the highest drummer ever!

[ToTheSummitkicksass]

@Mooning2314 . my drummer is 1000x more accurate and fast when he's baked xD

[Mooning2314]

@ToTheSummitkicksass sexy dude, i would imagine that happens to all drummers xD

[ItCameFromOverThere]

@ToTheSummitkicksass sounds like you could use a new drummer lol

[MyRsHaCKSdUNWORK]

DRUMMERS EYES LOOKS LIKE A FUCKING ZOMBIE

[Mahoneyisamazing]

lol. I guess most people watching don't know how much concentration you must have to play these songs this perfectly. I'm pretty sure while playing this he didn't even know the outside world existed...And by the looks him, his posture, and the sweat literally dripping down his face, I'd take it that this wasn't the first song on the set list by a long shot. Which explains his drastic change in posture to accommodate the energy that he doesn't have left.

[NsomeIrandomG]

meeting this asshole out on the street you'd never guess how evil he truly is.

[hightopsmcglops]

His posture drives me insane.

[MetaITV]

cannibal corpse? hehe

[themedicinemanftw]

is he high? or is that his only expression

[danielcalderon]

@themedicinemanftw I wouldn't be surprised if he was ripped haha! playing techy stuff when you're high is actually really great when you just close your eyes and get into that zone:) I reserve that for practice exclusively though because it definitely helps the crowd have fun when you look like you're having fun yourself instead of just focusing on playing everything perfect haha

[themedicinemanftw]

@danielcalderon yea man playing any instrument when ur high is fun. even the didgeridoo. but i agree with the whole crowd thing.

[IAMEmmettKerr]

HAVE A GOOD NIGHT!!

[Afiorella9]

3:07 - you think its a fill BUT NO IT'S JUST THE BEAT really sick

[quaggledoo]

He's gonna have a wicked Mr. Burns hump by 35.

[Coiltapthrasher]

wut
