Drum Teacher Reacts to Baard Kolstad - Leprous - The Sky is Red - Episode 117 

Leprous is Norways finest🥳 Living here I get to see this world class band pretty much every year. And they always floor me completly with their amazing live show. Go see them live when you can. I got a double concert at Notodden a couple of weeks ago. They played the albums Bilateral and Coal. It was GLORIOUS,!

This feels like sipping a nice wine.

Just discovered this band. Haven't even listened to them yet. Like literally, I ran across an ad from them on Facebook. HOLY SHIT! This is awesome!

I was almost upset that it took this long for another Baard reaction video, but the interview you mentioned has me excited. Bless you!

To be fair, the end of the song is more atmosphere than anything technical. I don’t think you missed a ton. But I was thrilled to see this! The album is Pitfalls, by the way. 😊 Excited to see the interview!

Woah! How come I never checked Leprous before!? Gotta do it right now! It sounds so awesome!

Man, you stopped just before one of his most incredible fills. A standing up fill it was so intense. I’m with you on the record this is from. It’s awesome. My son sent me this video to watch. I was sold straight away. Fantastic. Can’t wait to see your interview with him. Do the rest of the song. The build at the end is strange but brilliant.

Steve- takee 5mins and watch Leprous' Castaway angels. It might be the most beautiful song of 2020, and Baard plays such a PERFECT part on it.

super glad you got around to doing another leprous song, i'm even more glad you went deep into a few of their albums on your own in prep for that interview. such a special band.

Great stuff .. looking forward to the interview .. :-)

"We are in four" .. yeah 11/4 :p

Well done sir. I had never heard of him before. Thanks for the share!

Looking forward to the interview on Friday!

That bass drum is like throwing a wet towel against a wall. 😂

Another great analysis!!!

I’m so psyched for another reaction to Baard AND a podcast interview with him. I just discovered Leprous in the last couple of weeks and I’m flirting with addiction, so thanks for the fix.

Appreciate your appreciating the technicality ability!

I was looking for the video that you talked about half time shuffles just a few days ago and then this pops up. Thanks.

I got to see them their first US headlining tour and a few other times since. Wonderful band live and they just keep getting better.

Saw them live on 3/31. Baard is a machine. They played this at the end of a 1.5 hour set and he played it note for note. Incredible talent

Dude, this playthrough is a treatise and the end is something you really should cover. I like your technical analysis and I loved how you were totally geeking out about the half time shuffle and other stuff on Illuminate. You actually stopped me from overlooking that song. So yeah, I'd love if you did the full video review.

Been following Leprous for years and finally got to see them live a few weeks ago playing with The Ocean. There were fewer than 200 people there so I can't imagine they made any money (show was in Charlotte, NC) but it was great. People ranging in age from prob 18 to 60, no mosh pits or anything wild, just some people that loved some good music. They sound just as good live as on record too which was a pleasant surprise. They actually played this song and one of the guitarists actually puts down his guitar and goes to help with the drums. The band is really fun like that though; literally every single member (they are a six piece) played keyboards more than once except for Baard of course. And a lot of times there would be two people playing keys at once. Dude is one of the busiest drummers I've ever seen and you can see it when he takes his shirt off, he's like 1% body fight

Ha, I just happen to have watched a very disappointing video reacting to this performance last night. Looking forward to watching your video, which I know will be as interesting and insightful as usual.

Completely underrated band... :D

hello friend, you have to be a live reaction to the song "Moon" by Leprous, where Baard comes out playing Incredible !! Greetings from Chile

If you want to hear a good proggy drummer who likes to take risks, check out a band called BATS. They're a post-hardcore/mathrock/prog outfit from Dublin who are CRIMINALLY underrated and unknown. Check out tracks like "Gamma Ray Burst," "These Ones Lay Eggs," "Thomas Midgley Jr.," "Heat Death," "The Sleep of Reason Brings Forth Monsters, "In the Court of the C-R-I-S-P-R King," and "Creatures Collecting."

Their touring buddies, Haken, have an amazing drummer as well

I just want to say, if you want to release a long video, you should release a long video! The performance from baard certainly deserves a full breakdown!

I see Baard, I click right away!

Go for full song pleeease!😁

Junkdrummertv Nice and new sub

"IS THAT PEWDIEPIE PLAYING THE DRUMS?!" that cracked me up XD

You HAVE to check out leprous - illuminate as well!! It's the song that truly shows his skills!

I can't say I mind the "portuguese woman of war title" haha Thanks dude ❤ I'm having a blast watching this and can't wait for the interview

I have never been as facinated by the drums, before I discovered Leprous in 2009. I got to see them live last week 😀 They are tiiight! And Einars voice, is out of this world! I love your reaction to this video, although.... It would be great if you did take us through the rest, because his fills... Aaaahhh 🥰🎶👌

I’m not a drummer so I don’t know what the problem is with a loose grip, but it looks like he is able to get like a whipping action to the stick allowing him to add a more dynamic and accented drum groove. I’m not drummer though that might be an ignorant observation.

"I can't do the whole song, no one wants to hear me talk for 30 min" I wouldn't be so sure

Well, it's true a lot of Scandinavians look like Pewdiepie, but you look like Markus Persson yourself

Baard is a master!! Pinky's out !!

Music’s not quite my jam. But Kolstad is truly awesome. And that’s why I love your channel, man.

Dude when you said when you play softer people listen harder. Game.

What's the font you used on this thumbnail? It looks strikingly familiar but I can't place where it's from

I had been wondering where Prog Rock went when I first saw your first video on this band and discovered where. Prog not as in the moniker given to copy cats of 70's prog but Progressive rock (music) .. and here it is .. :-)

New album out now! Check it out!

disappointed you stopped where you did, you missed the part where he misses that cymbal 180° behind him lol

Hey. You should check out Rejoice by Larnell Lewis. He really shows off his chops there.

I really want you to do a Jinjer or AFI video

We are in 4 xD ah yes 11 4?

next - roy ibrahim 15th years old, deadsquad - oki fadlan from jasad thanks before

Hey! Thanks for the show. Just want to tell you that you're pronouncing his name quite correctly. (Bored Call-sta)

Check out El Estepario Siberiano and do a reaction of his content! He's insane!

“We are in 4” its 11 but you can count it bar of 6 and bar of 5. There isn’t a 4 in sight

We need one of these bad boys on Chris "daddy" Dave

Noooo the outro :( It has a cool drumming pattern. Nice video tho

That's cool. Kinds Deftones ish

React to will farrel lol

You need a better camera 😅

Please react to Knights of Cydonia by MUSE live at Rome Olympic Stadium. Dominic Howard is such a beast. The way he keeps the galloping beat between his kick and gong drum whilst keeping time on the snare and hats is awesome. Then his dum fills right before the instrumental are tasty. Keep on rockin man 🤘🏼

Who does a playthrough reaction without doing the whole song SMH.

No holds Baard

Those breaks where you show how nasty you are- .. so sick !

😂 who tf is gonna watch that then be goin hurdur pinkie. Can you do that,no? Sit down then
