I was born the same year as Nils and grew up in the same small city in Northern Sweden. I've seen him drum for 25 years and he's been equally insane all the time. I saw him drum for Chastisement, Souldrainer, early Aeon and so on and he was always like a machine.
Lots of extreme metal drummers are fast and precise. What makes Dominator stand out is the power of his tom fills, even at high speed. Because he's hitting the toms so hard,. you hear each individual note even when they're coming really fast.
A bit late to the party. You can clearly see his knees go up and down all the time, which means he is using hip flexor muscles, and not calves like you would in heal-toe.
Have seen them a couple of times. Last time couple of months ago in Antwerp. Always a great show. One of the best and purest black metal bands out there. Hail Satan!
Thank you for following my recommendation. I saw dark funeral several times ... Nils is one of the most creative drummers in the black metal genre. Amazing drummer!
@@ColbyFultonDrums Check out the other video I recommend you. Lord Marco - a blindfolded video (I don't know the song) but he plays unbelievably fast and clean!
Theyre pretty cool people. I got to meet them in 2019 before a show with their newest drummer. Nils is amazing and their newest drummer is just as amazing. They have a new video with their current drummer for Nail Them To The Cross. I dont know what my favorite song is, maybe When Im Gone since its in contrast to their faster songs. Really enjoy all of them though.
I've seen them live a couple of times. 🤘🏼 Trust me... the whole set goes like that. 😅 Thanks for respecting the music and the musicians, even if it's extreme and not common. ❤
Dominator is good, like, really good, but check out Hellhammer from Mayhem. I'm wasn't ready to see someone play four different rhythms, one with each limb, but well, he kinda does.
I saw this band live last year. They bring it so hard! Swedish Black Metal just really does it for me. They're a crazy band, I bought their hoodie immediately after the gig.
From sweden, he has a brother that plays drums in another band, so i guess it's in the family. Loved this band when i was younger, still listen to them now and then, but drum cam nail them to the cross is by far my fav
Great band! Saw them in 2004 here in Ukraine, great concert! Nils is one of my favorite drummers in heavy music, but he joined the band 2 years after I saw them live! In 1998 they had a tour with Cannibal Corpse, wish I was there)))
They just toured with them last year maybe.?? or roughly a year ago? I never got to see them with their original vocalist, but I’m just really glad I got to see them after so many years !!! they’ve been such an incredible bad for such a long time!! When Nils left I was blown away that they could find anyone that could play the songs that he composed for them! I’m a guitarist and when you look at his compositions, they are just really good!!!
I’m so happy that you came across this in your life! :) Unchain my soul is a really cool song! But it’s drummer as well as their current drummer. Both phenomenal… granted they’ve always had some pretty unreal drummers!
Pretty sick. I'm not a drummer, it seems like he only uses single stroke rolls so no really technical stuff, but still amazing what he does with it. I don't know how you'd play technical at that blazing speed anyway. Probably his feet are the most technical thing.
Amazing isn't he? Dominator is my favorite Drummer.. I've been going to see him perform live for years and he still leaves me floored every time.🤘🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🤘
there is 2 other drumcams thats pretty fresh, Nordjevel - within the eyes(live dominator drum cam) and Nils "Dominator" Fjellström - Standard Nordland that are dope aswell :)
you should watch a drum cam from the Drummer of Absu. he sings and play at the same time. its a Black Metal band as well from the US. he is disgusting on drums as well. his name is Proscriptor.
I love Black Metal, been listening to it since I was 10 years + laugh at the drumming, just based on how fast the drumming is. It always blows me away.
Dude what's in your ear!? Is it a..., Idk but it's shiny.. oh well, he's digging this Beast of a drummer.. Great reaction bro. This Nils dude is outa this World.., Fantastic!
It seems like none of the comments understands that his career as a death metal drummer began with a small band called Aeon. I can recommend "Forever Nailed" by Aeon. Enjoy ;)
Please please PLEASE! do more reactions to the dominator! He doesn't get nearly enough love! He is kind of a freelancer as he belongs to several bands. He has some old drum cams out there, but about a year ago he made his own channel with a bit more pro setup. Please give those a reaction too!
I have to make a critique. You didn't give your audience much commentary besides "Wow, he's fast". Come on, dude. Maybe give some thought on his technique, his style, his drum setup etc. Did you notice that he uses his fingers during blast beats but switches to full wrist motion on tom rolls? He does this to get more power since the toms are quieter. He also plays double strokes when doing snare rolls. Check out Jamie Saint Merat from the band Ulcerate. He's the best metal drummer of the last decade, IMO. The guy has all the qualities a metal drummer could want in spades. Precision, speed, endurance, power with lots of chops, dynamics and a signature distinct style that is very musical. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Tg5w5j78iDQ.html
There's literally nothing more to say about his playing. He isn't doing anything that's hard to play or worth mentioning other than playing fast. Same thing with the Ulcerate drummer.
