  • As I watched this video I couldn't stop thinking of all the good things I have to say about this Drumer .all I can really say is fughhhhhhh. He's a fuckin beast . Major props to such sick talent . sick .

  • Swiveling is not a technuique and is bad for the knee sockets, your knees arn't ment to move like that. George kollias has already said he gets very sore knees from the way he plays. Romain goulon uses a very simple and effective method for his playing, and it's ecconomy of motion. His foot technuique is more about using all of your Joints together, hips knees and ankles so that after practice and time the faster you play the stress is spread out and not on just one joint or muscle group..

  • SURHUMAN DRUMMING

  • una maldita maquina del blast!!!!

  • Goulon for president

  • I LOVE GOULON

  • jaime bien le son de ta caisse claire!

  • romain is a metal god

  • Fucking amazing as usual. This guy is the best drummer, at least in my eyes he is.

  • Is he using tri or quad-bass?

  • @Centi1337 Neither, he does double bass the old fashion way. He's just fast. He uses swivel foot technique I think.

  • @MetalHeadKLR650 Swivel isn't a technique. It's just a motion that releases tension from your muscles.

  • @abacacus Yeah it's referred to as "Swivel" technique. There are videos all over Youtube about swivel technique.

  • too bad he wastes his time with this awful music

  • it's not like humans,,,, awesome .., very, very powerful

  • I can identify & register everything he's doing and play each individual figure (at about half speed, haha)...but putting it all together and not fucking up AT ALL...and having energy to play it again is fucking bonkers.

    BONKERS, DAMMIT!

  • FUCKING BRUTAL!!!!!!!!

  • The reason he uses doubles when he blast beats is its simple energy saving and muscle efficiency. Look at george kolias, he plays singles and realy does look like hes trying too play too fast, that anguler monement in his feet ISN'T a technique, it's not so much a sign of bad practice it is a sign of pushing your body too far too quickly all the time, and he has said that has bad knees. Look at romains technuiqhe its very clinical and he is using his limbs and movement efficiantly.

  • Lol lyle couldnt touch this foo sorry your an idiot faceless troll gtfo

  • dude as good of a death metal drummer as he is, why does he pick the gayest sounding snares? it doesn't mix well with the rest of the music.

  • People! U need to be awere that Romain is currently THE BEST deathmetal drummer out there! I know that there are bit faster drummers,or who play in great bands and make great music but if u take just technicall aspect Romain has NO competition.This guy has ability to play EVERYTHING! The most crazy,fast, polyrhytmic,technicall patterns which 99% drummers on the planet simply wont handle - especially on stage. And whats more! He does it so clean that it doesnt need any adjustment. Son of a God!;)

  • @BiedaQ Lyle cooper from the faceless is on par with this guy in my opinion. Also, check out Nick pierce. Extremely fast, clean and all around phenomenal drummer.

  • @burgerboy17

    i dont agree. Lyle is just good and solid drummer, nothing above. He is slower and plays less complicted parts compared to Romain. Nick is even better than Lyle. He plays some sick stuff, but i dont respect him as much because of doubles which he play on pedal - single strokes are thousand times more difficult. I reapeat one more time - theres no technically better drummer than romain nowadays. If theres one- post here link to vid on which he owns ass. I dare you ;P

  • @BiedaQ well do you mean at death metal? cause i litterally could show you dozens drummers who are technically better drummers in other genres.

  • @zooby11isbambam ofc im talkin bout deathmetal! And ofc u cant show me dozens drummers who are technically better cuz u just CANT compare technique of drummer who play groove or jazz to death metal cuz its all about different feeling, accents etc.

  • @BiedaQ ok, calm down. you were a bit vague, and that was a bold statement. however, now that you've clarified that for me, yes i agree, in death metal he is most definitely one of the best.

  • @BiedaQ also, i don't see anything wrong with using double strokes, it's just another technique that takes time to learn. hell, i can't do it. and i can't honestly blame him for wanting to optimize his playing.

  • @zooby11isbambam

    Doubles compared to singles takes A LOT less time to learn. I can play 240+bpm doubles without any practice at all (i use to play regular singles). This technique is easy as shit and Its a lot less difficult to play all those difficult patterns, cuz it doesnt require any foot speed - just specified type of movement and pedal setup. Im not sayin that drummer who play killer stuff with doubles is crappy, but drummer who play same stuff with singles deserves more respect!

  • @BiedaQ Lyle is a little more than solid. As far as I can tell he plays just as fast and technical. Also, not respecting a drummer as much because he uses heel toe is a little messed up. Playing doubles that fast and getting them that smooth is pretty impressive. I don't think they are better but i also don't think Romain owns them in any way, at all.

  • @burgerboy17 O really? I checked Lyles vids and i didnt notice any uber badass drumming and speed. As i said - just solid drumming (never notices e.g. 260bpm double bass). No compare to romain.

    To achieve lets say 250bpm with singles takes sometimes more than 10 years and a huge effort while with doubles is just getting good technique. Simple proof- Just check some amateur drummers on youtube: There are A LOT less drummers who play singles and achieve high speeds than those who play doubles!!

  • jordison is a noob compared to me lol

  • Fuck my lack of skill!

  • thumbs up if you found out about Disavowed/Romain Goulon before Necrophagist.

    \m/

  • romain goulon..darren cesca and me leonardo vhoie blastkill cruz are now invades the hole world of the best and the greatest drummer ever live..from now and till the end of this shit hole world..hail and be proud for each and every one of us..!!!fuck and suck 4 those people trying to critisizing us........!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • lml

  • Rudiments!

  • in my opinion, Romain is a great addition to the many sick amazing drummers out there. there is no best or greatest to me. so many sick bands with amazing musicians and so much talent. romain is a great example of what a human can do if they believe in themselves and never give up on there skills.

  • Insert Chuck Norris comment here

    Insert x drummer is better than y drummer, who does not compare to z drummer

    This is the definition of brutal technical drumming, in MY humble opinion. I showed this video to a friend of mine yesterday and he kept saying, "Holy shit, how does he do that?!" I just laughed and said, "That's Romain for you, one of the best at what he does!"

  • that was amazing...

  • This. Is. So. Beautiful.

  • Alex Maquez that is, and FUCK!!!!!!! Of course Steve Ashiem and Vagalis of inveracity,, shit here I am on my Drummer overloaded rampage,, nice one Stay Brutal Drummers...

  • GOTTA GIVE IT UP TO PAUL MAZ, DENNIS THE MENACE, DOUG BOHN AND STEPHANE PROVENCHER TOO!!! PAVING THE WAY FOR THIS TO EXIST

  • Dont think i can ever be impressed again,, dont try go any further guys, we are at its peak. just stop let it rest on top. king of all genres, sure there is more songs to write, as for genius,, its over.MIKE, DEREK, GEORGE, FLO,ALEX, ROBBE,KEVIN,TIM, PROSCRIPTOR,PETE,DAVE..Sittin on the thrones FOREVAHHHHHHH!!!!!

  • son of a bitch oO

  • ORGASM

  • SEAPAGE!!!

  • Less that 1% of the entire population of drummers will ever be this good. I am a weightlifter so I'll use a weightlifting example that is equal to this on drums. If I were to squat 700lbs and jump into the air after every rep with the weight still on my back and do this for about 10 minutes, that would be about equal to what this guy is doing on the drumkit. Almost unbelievable. His acumen with rhythm, SPEED and sheer technique is super-human. The mans a machine. Top 5 death metaldrummershandsdn

  • 3:24 brrrrrrrrrr BRAT tsh tsh BRAT tsh tsh BRAT tsh tsh

  • damn... i have to admit i didnt like Romains style till now. I mean to me he was God in the matter of technique - i couldnt find a thing which he wouldnt be able to play in death metal,but he didnt have his own marked style - he was like a machine which could play everything insanely clean and tight. But now i see he changed band and he is not anymore into that inflexible cage which Necropagist closed him in. Romain ftw! Imo he deserves more fame and attention cuz he is in top 5 dm drummers atm!

  • professional brutal death metal player , dont betray us Romain with some deathcore shits in the future!

  • Can't wait to see what he has for us when the new necrophagist album comes out finally xD

  • @iNSIDIOUSshit you mean in 2032, right?

  • to the comment about how can this drummer be replaced? in my opinion he can't. this guy is my favorite drummer. he is bad ass

  • sex

  • BEAST

  • Uh no, let's face it. One of these is better than the other.

  • lord have mercy ohh muh goodnuss

  • HORNS!

  • Romain Goulon, come to Brazil...

  • One world: EPIC!!

  • Charlie Watts is more technical.

  • @Funkythethird lol.

  • fancy snare work, I love it.

  • Complete. Insanity.

  • The guy is unbelievable, one of the best death metal drummers out out there. Also one of my favorite death metal albums.

  • I always ask myself, where do they find a replacement for a drummer this good ?

  • @Incisionator they dont, disavoweds new drummer sucks, compared to romain

  • @asadodemierda Many people suck compared to Romain !

  • @Incisionator they don't actually. I think it's very possible to find a replacement but they didn't. Their new drummer is not even the shadow of Romain. Cheers from El Salvador!

  • love the snare

  • I've just realised how many times I've watched this video in the last week alone and now I watch it again it still seriously impresses me.

  • holy fucking shit.. This is so precise and fast

  • i wih i was you

  • huge difference in speed between Derek Roddy and Romain. what we discuss here? which is the comparison? I think most of people do not understand what they look

  • @lorenadragnea which one r u sayin is faster

  • That was excellent! I love Disavowed, especially the Stagnated Existence album. One of the best brutal death metal albums ever.

  • @DepthofMisery Fuck you.

  • @SimonPeyron LMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I just jizzed a little...

  • I just jizzed a lot lol

  • !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Romain is THE BEST MEDAL DRUMMER Hands down. Roddy and kolias are also amazing but Romains got'em beat.

  • @legitterkid Maybe. Roddy is getting so good now but I love romain style more!

    I am gonna miss romain in disavowed. Necrophagist is cool but its just not the same :/

  • SICK !!!!!!!

  • They need to faster cameras to keep up with the strokes. LOL

  • 00.38-00.45---> Godlike. But the Rest also is^^

  • oh le saligot!!!!

  • 0:32 - 0:40  O.o

  • Dude you guys have to stop comparing drummers... Derek, Romain and George are extreme metal drummers, but both has his own style. None of these drummer master TOTALLY EVERYTHING in drums. Derek is better at something and George at another, as for Romain. For me, they are all fucking god-like pro.

  • i aggree with you man

  • @XDarkStrikerX What you meant to say was that George and Derek are both good at different things, but Romain is good at the things that George isn't. Romain is good at the things Derek isn't. Romain is better at the things George is good at. Romain is better at the things Derek is good at.

  • @XDarkStrikerX except for mike heller from malignancy and lille gruber from defeated sanity. normally i agree with what you said, but those guys have such fucking killer jazz chops that they work into their death metal playing on top of the hypertech style the other godtier guys play. imo the two are incomparable in both death metal and jazz.

  • Yes i know Mike Heller as well, but what i mean is that he cannot master everything. He's awesome with his groove, but he clearly don't have the power and endurance of these drummer. Someone who practice 20 years of Pure death metal will be extremely good at it, someone who play jazz grooze 20 years will be overkill at it, someone who plays 10 years jazz groove and 10 years pure death will be very good at both, but never as good as the one specialised in each genre. Best Drummer=Opinion

  • Why do you compare?

  • 0:20 oO

  • better than roddy or kollias

  • Not better than George...

  • @Deathmetalr0x who is though... why belittle someone with so much talent such as romain with negativity like this... heres a compliment to romain... your blasts beats are much harder hitting than george... he hits the snare harder than anydrummer i know that these speeds... mad props to romain...

  • best extreme drummer

  • jouissance ds mes oreilles

  • Mattelliott1234 u personally think?? hahaha that does not make him better i in the other hand KNOW that derek is better

  • For starters, it's "I, on the other hand", not "I in the other hand". Secondly, all these drummers---Kollias, Goulon, Roddy, Hahto, Sandoval, Cesca, etc---all have smoething about their style that makes it unique. That on top of the fact that it's solely a matter of opinion when it comes to who is better than who.

  • Maths drums

  • aaaaaarrrrrrrrrghhhhhhhhhhhhhh­h :O

  • Wow, there are so many fucking idiots on youtube it simply amazes me.

    This is the first I'm ever hearing of Romain Goulon, and I'm a fan of Derek.

    ROMAIN SMASHES DEREK TO BITS.

    He's like a machine, perfect timing, consistent with his strokes, and really is playing muscially as well as fast.

    Give this guy some credit you idiots. This guy is simply amazing.

    Props to you ROMAIN!

  • I'm a fan of Derek Roddy,George Kollias,Romain Goulon,Nils Fjellström,Thomas Haake,

    All of thoose are explicit drummers, everyone of them has 1 speciallity,

    I would't say any1 is better then another,

    All of thoose simply are metalgods of drumming!

    So please don't say Romain smashes Derek cause that's not true,

    Greatest regards

  • This guy is better than Derek. Romain has a perfect timing as you can hear but with derek ... i don't know i just can't hear him beeing one with his drum... when i listen Romain , i'm smooth and relax caus i know he knows what he is doing but with Derek... all my muscle are working caus thats the way i feel him playing, only relying on speed and strenght. Romain seems more confident and hit the time perfectly. Anyway, both Derek and Romain + George Kollias are the best imo :P

  • @asffsasffsa yeah I feel the same with Derek. Maybe he overly tries to do complicated independance stuff ? I'm talking about his improvisations solely, cause as a drummer for an extreme metal band he does the job perfectly. He's still got more feeling/timing/versatility than a lot of drummers in this style.

    Romain is like a Weckl-to-be with fucking fast hands and feet.

  • Derek roddy will smash on this foo anyday!

    dope blastbeats tho!!

  • I (personally) think Romain is better dude! Derek is a beat aswell but this guy.....hes got something about him which is more interesting than Derek

  • Velocità coordinata...ma i mostri sono altri!

  • fuckkkkk

  • perfect playing! congrats

  • i wish i was half this good

  • jesus

  • derek roddy couldn't do better!!!

  • Completely stunning. The only one thing I don't like is his snare sound, far too metallic and tinny. If he got a deeper, warmer wooden snare, there would be nothing stopping me from buying this album and trying to have sex with the cd.

  • i love that sound. i wish i had a snare like that. my maple snare is so open sounding, not tight sounding like that snare.

  • One of the best extreme metal drummers todate.

  • I tried to make love to this and got charged with domestic violence

  • this guy is so consistent and tight live. Shreeedddd.

  • fuuuuuuuuuuuuuck

  • MY GOD JOHNSON! The Best drummer ever, i've done my research.

  • Nice dirtlip!

  • meilleur blasteur !! ^^

  • Just sick, so tight and even at such high tempo's such a loud snare and big strokes. Romain is insane

  • 00:39 to 00:45 ...wow xD

  • How He do that with the left hand without moeller motion? Sick!

  • it's called finger chops...and he's got em...in spades haha

  • 2:17 is so intense... lol

  • Why didn't any one tell me about this earlier?!

    It's great : )

  • one of the best death metal drummers out there. This is definately an awesome album. If you like Deeds of Flesh you would love these guys, much better in my opinion. guy is sick!!

  • 00:32-00:40 fucking sick

  • it felt like my heart was going to stop when i heard it
