[Mafsqi]

Fuck becoming a metal drummer!

[BittenMitten]

this is amazing

[dumhumdrum]

Fukcing, incredible thhat was, .



[dbrother88]

Unbelievable!! a have no words to describe!! a technique show!! Amazing drummer!!

[bighai5]

Jojo Mayer, Spanky Style drumming

[lasthskinopt3432]

0:52, como coño hizo esoo tan rapidooooooooo!!, es como un malditoo rayoooo

[SimonVicFirth]

I love how he's playing with time. Damien is one of my all time favorites. Worldclass drumming it is!

[PoeticJustice05]

Imagine how great Jojo Mayer would sound playing Meinl. Somebody hand him an Extra Dry Thin Crash and he'll switch companies faster than a crackhead running from the police.

[Khironification]

Stick to drumming Mr. Schmitt...sorry Nick D'Virgilio can sing better whilst drumming. However, in loo (spelling?) of your singing, you are an incredible drummer. And sorry people who like his voice. That's just my two cents. But I love DRUM AND BASS. And he nailed it. Hard.

[9AMrecords]

Proud To Be French !!!

[ChipJohns]

Ok. Who disliked this video? There must have been a British listener..! Just kidding... This guy is good!

[michaelguennec]

Exceptionnel, ça donne seulement envie d'être devant toi, assis, pénard et seulement vibrer... je vais de ce pas sur My Major Compagny...

Merci

Kenavo

[lexmortisdrummer]

was there with the biggest hangover of my life, but when he entered the stage i really woke up^^

[LonelliCyd09]

oh my goodness...7:07 the moment he hits that first tom my mind burst into flames. HOW DID HE HIT...EVERY STROKE?!?! I mean the speed that just takes practice. I mean I have almost the same max single stroke roll speed as Damien but there is NO FRIGGIN WAY that dude hit every stroke....he HAD to have hit a rim SOMEWHERE in there....right?

[LonelliCyd09]

The fill at 4:25 (not the splash one although that was equally as imaginative and wild) blew my mind. You have to have ridiculous chops AND musicality to see/hear that fill hidden in the song AND to play it. Kudos to Damien and DUDE I WANT THAT MAPEX SET!

[slingerland49]

I'd call that a conversational style of drumming. Fcuk he's good. I like the cymbal muting amidst the madness.

[dmydan96]

who dont like this video, is one of the people which think that travis barker is the best drummer

[drummeruzi]

Yea i definitely agree with tht!! Travis barker is a good drummer...but these drummers are sumthin else

[knusence]

reminds me of Jojo Mayer and Spanky when he played in Frankfurt Musikmesse 2008..

his dude is a beast... thumbs up

[chickenbeforeegg]

Holy shiiiiiiiiiiit this guys skilled

[istmap]

Sacré Français! :-)

[Ernestin182]

does anybody know the song he sings?? or is it just invented?? man he is totally AWESOME

[Khempejjer]

@Ernestin182 The melody is like Informer by Snow...

[VF1R]

@Khempejjer its reggae

[drumr6198ish]

haha this is badass!

[kssael]

WTF @ 6:35!!!

[VF1R]

@kssael SICK FILL!!!!!!!

[doskyinthehoy]

haaaaa, thats why meinl endorsed him.. hahahaa

[PisolMan]

Thank God he's a drummer not a singer.

[madnat37]

@PisolMan

You re wrong, he;s my uncle and he sings very very well!

[kingvincedrums]

this is why meinl is the best in the world

[Aspinel100]

how can he sing while playing so pro? now that is epic!

[BeatenNun]

this is awesomeee.

and i love his set up!

[proto35]

mind blasting.

[BennyVengeance888]

I love this guy!!!!!!!:D

[oblakodont]

what kind of sticks is he using at the start?

[Sammo2988]

@oblakodont They are called Rutes. It's like a lot of very thin sticks, it produce a different sound, cool sound.

[infectiousfiles]

@Sammo2988 I think they are called Rods, Rutes or Rute is just a model Vic Firth offers

[AlleLugari]

The style of this song remind me a lot some Jojo Mayer stuff

[Dorianedrums]

Toujours aussi cool ce Damien :D

[EskilNaige]

Very cool! 

[MechanixPL]

Incredibly innovative. Love the guy.

[KURTvsHERO]

[rozzers13]

Jesus! this guys insane!!
