Kristensen Magnussen Super crazy to believe that he was the same age as me during the Human Tour! What a monster touring around Europe and the US at that age!
I suggest you give the Decapitated album 'Winds of Creation' a listen ( if you haven't heard them yet. ) Their Drummer was 14 when they made that album. The other band members were all one year older than each other.
Sean Reinert ladies and gentleman a machine with soul, he wasnt listening to metal when he recorded this, he was into Chick Corea and more jazz stuff, one of my 3 top hi tech metal drummers
This was by far Death's best drummer! Gene Hoglan and Richard Christy are good drummers respectively, but the drumming on Human was fucking INHUMAN! I remember reading an article where Gene himself had a hard time playing songs from this album because of the shear intricacy of Sean's drumming...
@@WhoisVinnie Hmm, I could agree with this.. especially in that slow part of Genetic Reconstruction you really hear how great that drum kit sounds. As much as I'd like to hear Human in the Spiritual setting, in the end I think the original production (even though the bass guitar is on the hidden variable level) has a better sound than any other Death album or remaster. . I think the 2011 remaster is a kind of sacrilege. It sounds like better (to distinguish in terms of instruments defined in the whole), but everything sounds much flatter and compressed per instrument, so +- 4 times as bad as where the original version just sounds like it was cast in one piece and is chrome plated by Sean Reinert.
I remember back in the early 90's when I first heard that acceleration in the solo part, I was fucking stunned! Had to listen to it over and over again to actually realize that someone could do that on bass drums. He was way ahead of his time in metal drumming and is definitely one of the forefathers to extreme metal drumming of today.
You know what? I must have listened to this song a zillion times and I just noticed this acceleration on the bass drums. I went and listened to the album version to see if it's really there and there it is!
the ease at which reinert plays these parts astounds me. the fluidity that his wrists allow him is something i strive for whenever i see him play. underrated and quite possibly the greatest drummer, at least in heavy metal, of all time.
No one will play this song like Sean did! I´ve seen Gene Hoglan, Richard Christy and other drummers playing this but no one can do it better, Sean was a fucking monster!!! RIP Master!!! Damn life!!!!!
This is before triggers and condensers !!!! Your drums sounded for how hard you hit with consistency!!!! SEAN IS KILLING IT!!!! Always SOLID!!!! ❤️🥁🙏🎶😎
I know Gene Hogan is an awesome drummer and deserves all the recognition he gets but I actually think Sean's drumming on Human is even better yet no one really knows of him, sad. When this came out it blew me away with the speed an& aggression I liked with Steve Asheim of Deicide but far more complex.
Replicate Extinction what he meant was he's one of the less popular death drummers, as people usually talk about Gene Hoglan or Richard Christy. And being a fan of death metal doesn't mean you are a fan of this band.
*insert name here* Funny, I found the opposite was true when I first got into Death. It seemed to me that Human was the album that everybody revered while the Gene and Richard stuff were regarded as almost secondary masterpieces. Personally I think each of the three is just as technical, fast and aggressive as each other (as evidenced when Gene played Richard's stuff on the 2012 DTA tour) but ultimately Richard is the best. His cymbal usage took the flair of Sean with Gene's Erskineisms and blended them seamlessly
In my opinion Reinert is far better than the two and best drummer Death ever had. Coming from the fusion scene(he's never been much of a metal fan) has made him much more colorful!
Aw man, I've never liked Richard's style... I think it's too much information going on at the same time, but he's a monster. In my opinion reinert's style was the best fit for death, and I'm a gene hoglan fanboy hahaha
Sean is so sick drummer. I think his style is pure old progressive metal. Human is best album of death's all albums. Sean + Paul + Chuck + Steve = Legendary lineup
Man the breaks on the refrain are extremely inspired ... I believe Reinert and Sandoval are my best drummers ever. I never get enough of them and they are super identifiable amongst the massive amount of drummers on metal. I hope we had more musicians like them today, most have super technique but they lack something you see on that video, some call it musicality
Back in the day this would've been a video to watch every single day a dozen times over. What am I talking about, it STILL is! Sean's groove even in high speed metal drumming is yet to be topped. Amazing.
sean reinert, gene hoglan and richard christy play absolutely fantastic on all the albums and live. death really incorporated one of the best metal drummers..
I remember first putting this disk in when it first came out-didn't move for the whole CD! this was in 91! Sick for then-sick for now! And speed isn't everything-guitar, drums, whatever-speed is worthless without style and feel! 40 minutes of blastbeats isn't feel-its a fancy metronome! HUMAN still stands the test of time!
Whenever I watch Sean, Gene or Richard, I tend to say, this is the best Death drummer. So it is a tide for three of them. And somebody said blast beats, fast kick patterns? Those guys did these back in the day without all those tricky polished sound systems and high quality gear. Look or more than that, listen, to that clock-work tasty drumming. All legends... RIP Chuck...
What they did on that album is still up to date, Sean drumming is insane. Chuck gathered awesome musicians on all records but I think this was by far the best lineup and one of their best if not the best album.
This is what I call "gourmet metal playing." My favorite metal drummer; exquisite taste, techique and delivery. Human and all the Cynic stuff is just mind blowing. The absolute pioneer of tech death.
I vividly remember buying this on cassette when it was released put the tape in on a walkman and pressed play as i was walking away from the sound cellar in dublin after like 5 to 10 seconds the drumming kinda made my body invisibly flip 360 degrees or should i say my ears . Will never forget that moment
When I heard this album for the first time back in "91, my first opinion was that they recorded Human with a rhitm machine...I was mad!Wondered myself is it possible...Why they done that...I am 41years old now, recently bumped on this uploads, and saw what?That man is realy rhytm machine...(sorry for my bad english)
Absolute precision, creativity, and technique... Sean was way ahead for it's time in death metal... this album is one of the reasons why I started playing drums 15 years ago...
This is raw as hell but still so creative. Such a rare breed. I was 10 when this was filmed. Sitting behind him and seeing this would have given me lots of direction on what to aspire towards. That beat flip around 2:12 is insane. Truly in a league of his own. Hands like Vinnie with feet like Lombardo! RIP
In the pocket af! Fusion influence without over playing! His feet...holy shit!! Every ride pattern in the whole performance is perfect!! Best snare sound ever!! Sean Reinert was the greatest of all metal drummers and sadly, very underrated! That first Cynic record is face metling!!
INHUMAN ! The Man who set a new milestone standards in metal drum play. Rest in peace, SEAN and Thank you for all the awesome music heritage and musical inspiration. Huge respect !
Your drumming blew me away and still does. It was a whole new discovery for me and has never lost its flavor. A true original, thank you for your music, it has saved my life, RIP Sean Reinert
very happy to see these videos... this record and drummer made some of us take the time to better our craft by learning jazz and other techniques. seeing these now i can understand what is going on fine - but this record was the spark for such insights
One of the best that ever manned the drumkit. To be this accomplished at only 20 years of age. Jaw dropping. I remember when I first heard this monster. The Human album had just come out, and MTV was playing the video for Lack of Comphrension. Inhuman drumming. I loved that Chuck brought this progressive jazz drummer in to play on his songs. I wish that I could have seen the live version of this incredible band. I saw them on the Individual Thought Patterns tour, and while Gene did a great job with Seans parts, they just did not sound the same. Rest in peace, Sean.
I remember well hearing this first time and taking it to school in my headphones everyday wow my friends didn’t get it but I knew this was way ahead of the curve at it’s time Loved death still do to bad Chuck had to leave early
I was very blessed to have met Sean and hung with Cynic when they were opening for Cannibal Corpse in Tampa, FL. I sat behind Sean in a similar position as this camera. Just incredible to watch him play.
‘Scream Bloody Gore’ was the 1st DEATH album I bought when released but ‘Human’ is what made me love them. Love when he speeds up the kicks @ 2:52. Every hit is so sharp and every kick so pronounced. Edit : To think Sean was only 20 at the time ... mind blowing!
