Not All Who Wander Are Lost - Drums

[Metalhead6949]

First of all, sweet fucking footage, and next, what kind of drum set is that? if anyone knows.

[MegaDiscraft]

yes what he said

[lstarbuck20]

badass drumming, probably the most unappreciated talented drummer in metal!!

[Ub3rSk1llz]

@lstarbuck20 my two favourite drummers are john and the drummer for Swedish band soilwork. his name is dirk verbueren. they're both amazing.

[TheDerpTard]

@Ub3rSk1llz Dirk is also my favorite drummer. You should check out Sybreed if you haven't already. He plays drums on their second album, Antares. Some truly amazing work he did on that album, and The Panic Broadcast.

[Ub3rSk1llz]

@TheDerpTard Way ahead of you broseph, been listening to Sybreed for ages. Although I didn't know Dirk drummed on Antares. Might have to go an listen to the album a bit. Thanks.

[123childcare]

nice ride.. n e one knw what kinda ride he plays?......

[nick58069]

@123childcare its a mienl soundcaster custom, 21 inch megabell if im not mistaken

[danieljordison0793]

@123childcare 22" Soundcaster Custom Megabell Ride

[nick58069]

sometimes i wonder if he even owns a pair of shoes haha

[SlayerDude831]

iv'e got a fever, and the only prescription is more blast beats.

[jm0069]

i only started listening to this band a month or two ago and this drummer is a beast its just pure power I'm not sure yet if I'd say he's better than Dave Mclain from Machine Head though

[Livingcorpse8]

Hit Hat looks pretty high Oo

[Nitrosetheprodigy]

this guy is like a heavy and taller joey jordison

[Flauschi13]

this song pwns Clouds over Califronia. Totally. Just my opinion

[TheForlornDreams]

@dedmit i wanted to reply because everyone else was doing it.

[devildriver669]

BEAST!!

[hellzanimal]

One of the best drummers in the world

[tosuxo]

@dedmit yeh well, you're a cocksucker, you've been doing it all your life and there's nobody that sucks as much cock as you

[dedmit]

@tosuxo

Be that as it may he still doesnt know how to play drums.

[Eddief09]

@dedmit lol, I love you you base your opinions on one song/ video. noob

[kiskiskis]

@dedmit well you are probably just jelous you stupid cunt just stfu and look at this amazing drummer or if u dont like just get the fuck away from this vid.

[kiskiskis]

@dedmit well you are probably just jelous you stupid cunt just stfu and look at this amazing drummer or if u dont like just get the fuck away from this vid.

[FroBroBaggins]

@dedmit he might not have the best technique but how many albums have you put out again? and how many does he have? swallow the cum in your mouth and appreciate it for what its worth.

[ouchofdeath]

@dedmit Your just a complete jackass. Firstly, who told you only music with really difficult techique is good? Secondly. You mean only music wich is really super fast is good? Slow cant be good? Stop trolling.

[yishto]

@dedmit Most 1 year drummers don't have a double bass pedal nor the skill to use one, let alone can they do the alternating pattern (1-2 1 1-2 1) at that speed. The sound quality here isn't that great anyway.

[galaxyxgamer]

@dedmit go suck a dick!

[VegetaSasuke89]

@dedmit Just stick to wow.Not that you are good to that,but still.Unless you have a video of your self playing that song better than him.Assfucking bitch!

[TIRmayers]

@dedmit

1 year of playing drums and have a good technique ? haha man you must be joking ! drumming is a lifetime learning, you learn everyday, you cannot have a good snare/double bass (and other stuffs) technique in just one year.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA You're a funny ignorant guy

[cygnusx555]

@dedmit THE SNOZZ BERRIES TASTE LIKE SNOZZ BERRIES

[47Mortuus]

@dedmit

and even if it would be simple, it still fits in with the songs groove. if you want technique, listen to death metal and don't critisize dedvildriver, its the best band ever ;-)

[timpdev]

Dude is a nasty fuckin beast on drums, respect due.

[trondom]

best fuckin drum vid ive seen in along time......

[tod10g]

does anyone no how he gets his toms to sound like that

[wildanS]

@tod10g Hit'em hard!

[AEONFAN]

bad ass drummer!

[eraser979]

Beast on drums!!!!

[milliomoselme]

amazing!

[jleebesaw]

his blast beats are intense man.

[waltermatthewberg]

looks like a fucking workout

[baphomet1989]

Blasts with his arm !!

Flying fingers is better IMO but both ways get the fucking job done !!!

Devildriver own.

[DLH8DeMoN]

@baphomet1989 Using your arms gets addrenalin and power into it, i'm sure using his arms at a live concert is the best way to go! Anyways, awesome! xD

[abacacus]

@baphomet1989

It's because he's mostly self taught. A lot of people will cry watching him play and scream "BAD TECHNIQUE", but if bad technique lets him drum this good who gives a fuck.

*disclaimer*

I am currently drunk. No flameing me :)

[NecroptikOfficial]

he blast with the wirst or his arm?

[y0uwilldie]

in my opinion they r both insame drummers

[XxTheEndOfTheLinexX]

fucking awesome!!!! You are the best!!!!!!!

[schecter1990]

n i also love his fuckin fill-ins haha

[DANnJORDAN]

chris adler's are the best

[schecter1990]

omg i would never get sick of listening to John Boecklin play the drums ok i play guitar n i have a few influences that made me wana play the drums n he's 1 of em,kinda funny cuz when i listen 2 devildriver sumtimes im payin more attention 2 the drummer then what i play haha anywayz hes fuckin insane man

[azzans]

Same here haha I love the drums more than the guitar in this band lol and I play guitar too

[IIIzakyIII]

he didnt touch his hi hat

[tosuxo]

HAX!!! lol

[KCDise]

he's got another one on his right

[DrummaMuFucka]

@IIIzakyIII ummmm, yea he did.... he has 2 sets man... one where it should be on his left, then one his right by the ride... I'm glad people are so observant before they go addin stupid fuckin comments :D

[OfficialDrumsNdSkate]

@IIIzakyIII theres 2 hats, theres one on his right near the floor tom

[M0RTEXes]

@IIIzakyIII well actualy if you look closely he has a hat on his right side xD only it`s closed

[TYCOONMJO]

@IIIzakyIII he has two

[XxMetalheadxX]

@IIIzakyIII yeah it did a few accually

[ReznBand]

@IIIzakyIII That don't mean shit. It's not Nirvana where every song sounds the same. True musicians will have songs that they don't always have to use the same set up every time. There's songs in my lineup where I don't touch my hi-hat. Just because it's there doesn't mean that it's a necessity that you play it on every song.

[brisick]

@IIIzakyIII he got two hi hats, i think he hits the right hi hat in the beginning

[TheGlassStern]

@IIIzakyIII 3:11 - 3:17 ^^

[ImaPirate83]

@IIIzakyIII two sets of hi hats. he has a set by his right hand/ride...i've noticed a lot of metal drummers have that setup.

[metroid541]

@ImaPirate83 yeah, i have it. listening to jason bittner of shadows falls he calls it the exhat

[themetalvocalist]

@IIIzakyIII he has two one on each side

[stanatori]

@IIIzakyIII if you see weel...he play the hit hat on right side!!!

[Music4LifeChannel]

@IIIzakyIII He did, he has 2 hi hats, cuz he plays double bass he has 1 open and 1 closed hi hat ^^

[geutonix]

@IIIzakyIII yes he did :) 3:10

[Tyme2Die]

@IIIzakyIII

He has 2.

[crxracer420]

Boecklin is fucking king

[rampage335]

Eww joey is good but no one touches boecklin

[dragoon00222]

i like chris better but john still is an insane fucking drummer

[myusernameisjuan]

Joey Jordison is 100x better then John Boecklin..

[Z0MGMaTT]

Are you fucking serious...?

Go cut your dick off, because you don't deserve it.

You fucking cunt.

[tosuxo]

Berzerklin kicks ass

[Z0MGMaTT]

Haha!

[MELQUIADESS3]

derrepente y si

[67keefer]

joey has 2 other guys that helps him so he can do differnet beats

[Serillian666]

john boecklin is the far superior drummer compared to chris adler, john is fuckin insane, chris adler aims to be different and its just really boring to listen to him play, johns drum parts in the songs serve the songs, me being a drummer of seven years thats what you have to do, serve the song, still be flashy but never overplay

[fal543]

agreed 100 times over man

[HeavyRiff9]

dude hes really good but its cool to hear nomeone that dosnt do the same fill every time

[Cromarkar]

Are you kidding? John has good speed and energy, but every song his beats sound the same. Chris Adler knows how to variate and make it sound so deliciously heavy!!! And if John was so good, wouldn't he have a signature snare, sticks, and have helped with the design of two cymbals? Cuz I know Chris Adler has!

[tosuxo]

have you actually listened to more than 1 track? dumbfuck

[Serillian666]

what you've just said means fuck all, having signature sticks, cymbals drums etc means fuck all when it comes to skill. Chris Adler is good, you can't take that away from him, but its the fact that he claims to try and be different yet the way he plays it looks as though he's overplaying and really trying to set himself apart. sorry if you disagree

[Cromarkar]

Of course he's trying to set himself apart. He shows everyone that you don't have to be a fast drummer to be a great metal drummer. You're problably one of those wannabe metal drummers that thinks speed falls in the same category as skill. If you think that's true, then by all means, go ahead and fail.

[TheLambIsGood]

TOOO true

[BigTimb3r]

wow, what a dumbass

[doublebassaxisdrummr]

haha you're an idiot.

[Schwalls3]

@Cromarkar why are you comparing him to chris adler? lamb of god is okay but devildriver is wayy betterr

[DrummaMuFucka]

@Cromarkar Dude.... Boecklin is the man...... His splash work is intense, not too mention his style is as tight as an asian virgin... He's such a tight drummer.

[Thenamelessoneid]

i commend john, those vic firth metal sticks are fucking heavy

[peevymo]

this is like the only metal drummer ive seen besides lars ulrich that wears something on stage that matches..dam

[squirril66]

well when most of them wear gyms shorts and no shirt you cant really match. im surprised he can drum in long sleeves

[xxxmatttty69]

chris adler is just a different style doesnt mean hes better....dumbasses

[FaithIsAccidental]

Why do people keep comparing this guy with Chris Adler?

Fuck off, listen to the music.

[Hardcore2828]

its odd you see a metal drummer using a dominant wrist technique in thier style

still a sharp drummer ^ ^

[RedAscendant]

i find this a very creative drumming piece throughout the entire song

it inspires me

[drummerboy5193]

it often sounds like he speeds up when he does the in sync 16 notes with hands

[fooshfoosh]

MEINL!!

[salyLs420]

well me being a drummer i can say this saftley.

adler can out bass this man and personally i think adler has a way nicer style b.c of his ability to create sum intense drum parts

[FINALSTRIKE94]

Adler is good, Boecklin is better. This is my opinion based on chops alone. They both write drum parts perfectly to the riffs and vocals. I think Boecklin's drums carry devil driver songs. They sound like a band who writes around the drums. Both awesome drummers though.

[666Lucas666]

he dont use metal sticks... im pretty sure those are vic firth,,,, and ahead stocks are light as!

[Briarstudios]

fucking amazing, also Chris Adler is fucking sick, both brilliant drummers

[Chudius]

Holy crap...

[Thenamelessoneid]

dude hes so fast with those metal sticks its crazy those things are heavy as hell but have awesome reach

[mindfreek454]

John Boecklin is fuckin amazing!!!

DevilDriver fan for life!

[phillymetalhead]

if 3:11 on doesnt break your fucking neck, you have no right to be watching this video...BEAST

[NShaddow15]

@phillymetalhead i fucking love how you said beast 2 years ago and their new album was called beast...

[phillymetalhead]

@NShaddow15 I'm personal friends of Dez. He told me what the Album title would be. (totally lying)

[shotgunholes]

This fucking guy writes a lot of Devildriver's music. He plays some guitar and bass parts on the albums, and drums like a Fucking Steroid Monkey. How many other drummers can do all that?

[demon4411]

Joey Jordison wrote some songs and plays guitar for Murderdolls.

But Murderdolls and Slipknot suck so it doesn't count.

[DeceitsEmbrace]

Krihm go see his vids he's a beast

[Dreamstate87]

fucking awesome - he's truly an inspiration

[jonneale8494]

John Boecklin Rocks

[manguejoe]

OOOO MMM MMMMM FFFFFFFFF GGGGGGGGG

[lFeniXl]

That man is really a awesome, a very talented drummer

[adamabra8]

He looks as badass as he drums.

[VoiDarkness]

ahaha, yeah

[sharmuta666]

ddrum are the best. no wonder john uses them.

[surbitonmike]

alll of these drummers are just tapping away!! check out foo fighters, or acdc or any rock band, its not how many little stupid rolls you can fit in, its about the heavy vibe... gooodddddd

[scwill2007]

look. all they do is pound the drums! full respect 4 ac/dc and foo but rlly its got more heavy vibe then either will have EVER! Devildriver ftw.

[eatcatr5]

awesome fucking drummer!!!!

[dpaddy69]

hes gotta be hurtin after a show he over uses his wrists big time esp. while blasting

[MentalyptiC]

@ abrdrummerguy16. LOL get a cd and listen to them feet, they fast

[AoWLiquid]

EDIT: Look at his legs at 1:07 or so. Case closed.

[chiefbootkn0cka]

Well, I think he's an awesome drummer. If you disagree, show me a drummer that you DO think is good.

[tiradeoftruth]

himself and Adler have to be two of the great metal drummers of our time

[ProfPudding]

a-fucking-greed

they're the 2 best in the world, imo

[clubmoto]

you definately do not know music....... this guy is great but adler is one of the best band oriented drummers..

[x3xFrostx3x]

LMFAO I don't know music? Comming from the guy with the name CLubmoto. Dude, learn good music. Not LoG. they suck. My personal opinion. You're gonna ''yell'' at me for that. I shall just make you that much more Stupid.

[eortiz110890]

Jason Bittner is trash compared to Adler

[MetalHead42694]

Seriously, im the person who usally says theres no better drummer. but i think adler is wayyy better.

[Alcohollicaa]

just thought id put this out their and let everybody know that dez stated in an interview that they are currently recording songs for a 15 track album called pray for villans which is beeing released in the summer. he also said its te most intense album and everyone will love it.

[pimphatandcoat]

Thx for that i did not know that can't wait

[Skizye8]

lol blasting with his wrists

[bmthx1]

[Deodato200]

[riacyber]

[macadangdang07]

[666TheFiend666]

Dai John spacca tutto!!!!!

[eargqgqgqgr]

yehh

wat bout drummer from wintersun i thinks his name is like kai hato or sumfin im not sure

[FYP666]

it's Kai Hahto, and he is probably the best drummer in Finland. Jaska Raatikainen sucks live... i wouldn't say he is one of the best metal drummers, but he is good though!

[eargqgqgqgr]

and jaska

[Farpquardt5]

GODDAMN!

[SoAdSuGaR1]
