Drum Technique Podcast #5 w/ John Longstreth & Simon Schilling 

Join Our Double Bass Drumming Program: www.drumcoaching.net

What a great discussion! A big vibe in this video is: Extreme metal drumming is no place for SNOBS. At every show I have played all us drummers support each other, we don't care about "cheating", triggers, mistakes, odd or poor techniques, unaurthodox approaches etc... . We just want to have a good time and learn from each other. We all know we have a really hard job and we don't want to make it even harder by being dicks !

Dropping and sharing knowledge like nobody's business. Thanks for this!

I would love to see more of these types of videos. You know it’s a good conversation when you want to interject/contribute, but then remember no one is actually here. Haha

Didn’t think I would make it through this whole thing, but it was such a great conversation that it did not feel long and I’m so glad I did listen to the whole thing. Also great to hear epic drummers be so down to earth.

I can't stress how much I love the backyard-BBQ-sunshine-and-blastbeats style interview/podcast. This is rad as fuck. Great hearing John, Simon and yourself chat about what just works.

Happy to see John rocking the Nordjevel shirt

Almost 2 hours of drumming podcast🤯🤯 Let's go🔥

I would love to see more video in this format! I’m currently sitting out in the sun with my dog while watching this lol.

Hello. Wonderful guests. I'm watching from Ukraine, bro 🧡😊🎉

Loved every second of this interview. 3 titan drummers and true masters of their craft!

Lots of knowledge here. From heel-toe to single strokes, from a beer to an orange juice. Great talk. Thanks for this Marthyn.

You gotta Lotta wisdom from these pros here. Thank you man. It matters!

BBQ cam rules!!

This is such a good talk!

This is blast tastic !! 🤘🏻😎👍🥁

Wow!!! The Gods of extreme drumming.

Oh hell yeah. Just re-listened to Momento Mori. Simon's drumming is perfect on that album.

Wow, this is gonna be interesting for sure 😃

Such a great video. All great topics, not only about drumming itself, but everything that comes with it. Keep these coming Marthyn.

awesome!!!! that was so cool to watch and listen. please do more long content like this!!

Great gentlemen!

Really enjoyed this.

Amazing conversation. So much knowledge and experience divided between three people

excellent!

What a setting

Wow was an amazing interview thank you!!!

The podcast was really insightful! A question regarding your bass drum angle with regard to your beater angle- Does the beater strike the base drum head at 90/95 degrees or more? Any help would be really appreciated! :)

This was great!!

Thank you for these

I enjoyed this video so much, I always love to see extreme music musician in their regular day to day mood. Lots of very good advice aswell

Great channel thank so much drummers need it so bad!

Thanks, this was a lot of fun and full of fascinating insights.

awesome

Stating he's moderate, John simply dominated this discussion. :D

Simon is rocking the mutton chops.😂 I'm used to him with the full beard.

More barbeque conversations like this please

What a fucking treat!!

Bro. Nice.

YES WTF WHY were those Dying Fetus videos of John playing with them on the side angle taken down!?!? I have been searching them on and off for YEARS. They were awesome.

Thank you so much for this awesome episode!✌ Is there a possibility to do a podcast with the sound technicians? I think that could be interesting to hear from there point of view👋

Great chat

MasterWork Hi From Türkiye Respect❣

This is so cool Marthyn! Its like a behind the scenes in the most casual environment ever. Still, I have to say, John is way too hard on himself. He was doing those Meinl videos and having a great time and everyone in the comments was loving it. Its a shame because there are very few drummers in the world at your three's level and due to a few random dbags the rest of us get screwed out of seeing you guys do your thing. Like take Simon, he has probably the best drum playthrough of all time on his channel, his new Demonstealer song (that was done in one take I might add) but he posts very infrequently. These guys are established but today if you want to break into the metal drumming scene you're going to have to be El Estepario - very good at drumming and VERY social media savvy. That's just how it is, I mean look at where we are right now. I wish you guys the best of luck and thanks for being inspirations to the rest of us.

This interesting video is over an hour long and was uploaded 50 minutes ago. 124 views. Turning it off cuts off the recommendations.

Thank you for this video!!! I feel motivated!!! 😎 In the last year I have tought that my drumming was almost a waste of time, cause it seems no one care about live HONEST drum video 😅 I Really like to share real thing and I would like to see this trend back again! 😊 live feeling is good!!! Ok, now you are free to say amen 🤣

Wonderful to watch you guys having BBQ

'There we go again' ... tinnitus..

01:03:49 this is also something the Skinless said about him when he was with them. Lots of drum improv live is hard to follow

"...the greatest revenge is massive success..." -I Dunno

I see so many drummers being regarded SIGNIFICANTLY better than they actually are or than the material they're playing demonstrates just because they're doing the 'showmanship' thing. I like someone like Tobias Schuler - super chill while playing stupid fast blasts, amazing technique, amazing drummer, and no silly fake 'look at all this effort i'm putting in or exaggerated enjoyment'.

I have a question, I would be happy if someone can answer... Does any kind of double bass technique (swivel, heal- toe...) make sense without triggers? Other words, is it possible to play it as same loud as full leg, for example... ?

What’s up John I got you bro I have that footage with fetus I will upload soon .

a'm I the only one who watches the entire podcast also eating a steak?

Simpsons reference.

John's like Slipknot...pshhhh...I don't listen to that crap 😂

Has anyone told John that he sits awfully low. Obviously he gets the job done well but maybe that's why he struggles with those singles...I'm a nobody BTW but I've been playing for 30 years and raising my throne has only opened up a wider array of availability of foot,ankle, swivel, heel down techniques yet I still can't execute doubles

It sucks that Eloy now plays for Slipknot in my opinion. Although he likes the music, I think it is wasted talent. Eloy shines when he combines latin and thrash. I don't think that he can do that in Slipknot. I can't stand Slipknot in general but I am a big Eloy fan. I even bought the same drumset from Tama that he played live some years ago. Tough times for me.
