Opeth - Lotus Eater Drums

[antonio610]

Axe destroyed everyone who said he couldn't play jazz with Heritage.

[Megadedly]

@DzagielAreq That's funk.

[Nubnut]

@Megadedly Ya... That's not really funk. That's straight up old fashioned prog rock.

[phreestylesk8r]

i sometimes listen to the song just for the drums

[Arkayem]

0:24 I love that rhythm...I wish it was in the song without vocals on top of it.

[friddlebill1a]

Amazing drummer and song!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Opeth is fuckin broodle!

[murraytaylor123]

You can tell Axe is a jazz guy... that's a 4-on-3 pattern at the end.

[shlempnar]

that doesnt mean he is a jazz guy it just means he knows his drum math.

[AnewKINDofFEELIN]

@shlempnar Umm, he's definitely got jazz credentials if you listen to him play. You don't always have to be a contrarion.

[Angx5t]

@murraytaylor123 His Influence is Buddy Rich

He did use the fiver when I saw them last april. Great show!

[cango875]

Mendez was enjoying :D

[fabricedrummer]

I love this part too!

I covered exactly the same bit on the drums trying to play as Axe does (I TRIED, he's obviously far beyond me).

Go to my profile, see the video "Drums Cover Medley (10 songs)" and look at 6:10

When I listen to that song I get the melodies for hours, it's just crazy

[RelentlessEwok]

They fucking rule live.

[Samm3x]
