Whelp, now I'll be looking up all the cats in the thread. First I've heard of this drummer, and band but definitely a fan. You toured with them, I'm sure you're awesome as well. Good times!! Buds all shouting each other out saying hi. You're getting drum stalked and I will be practicing all the cools stuff I find😁🥁. Rock on everyone.
Oh yes! Lanser is a monster. If you want to see his predecessor in Obscura, check out Hannes Grossmann playing Alter Magnitudes from his new band Alkaloid.
@@gearheadproductions3236 timings between the kicks. Single-footed triplets would be slightly off in the middle note, while foot-to-foot would be solid as far as middle-note timings are but would float slightly at the edges. Its miliseconds of difference, but if you really look for it (and are a musician/experienced music listener) you can spot it. Hope it helps.
I understand you want to go minimalist talking I get it, but I like hearing your opinion and I like hearing your expertise on what happened in the video maybe just a little.... a little more talking. Thanks for the upload dude you kick ass !!!!! 🤘click it🤘
Dude I love the stuff he plays, he eats subdivisions and polyrhythms for breakfast, has incredible hand technique (them doubles man), equally awesome foot technique, groovy as hell... Sebastian rules 😂 and so does your reaction 👍
Sebastian Lanser is a goddamn beast. Seeing Obscura live with him behind the kit is a memory I’ll hang onto until I’m dead. He’s so technically proficient, it’s insane.
YEAH BOI! I put Sebastian in my top 5 all time favourite drummers, he's got a ridiculous amount of control and technical playing ability, not just in metal but playing jazz, funk and fusion. Check his stuff with Panzerballett out, I guarantee it'll blow your mind, especially their version of Take Five.
Agreed, the analysis of the playing on the video by someone with an different perspective to playing was what was originally interesting about these videos. If that is removed it could be whoever reacting to it and adds no value.
Guys cut that man some slack - u can't give an onspott analysis of THIS - it is really sophistcated and complex. No one drummer or not can comprehand this on the fly 😅😉
He should do deeper reviews too. He barely spoke 20 seconds after the performance ended. That's disappointing. Doesn't seem like a real jazz drummer at all. Could be an aficionado for what I know
Thanks so much for this reaction! Love your series very much, this one not being an exception! Sebastian is indeed an amazing drummer. Been following him now for 10+ years and seen him a few times live! Highly recommendable!
I've been waiting for someone to do a reaction to Sebastian, whew nice job. He is just so good in every way and yet I don't feel like enough people really know about him. Loved your comments and again loved that you reacted to Sebastian. You made my evening, thanks.
I have been waiting months and months for this. Your reaction did not disappoint! This whole band is just full of pure professionals who have mastered the craft. So. Good.
I watch your videos for some time now(they were massively recommended to me by YT algorithm) and I finally grew up to subscribing to you today, when I noticed that I discover more new metal music by watching a jazz drummer reactions to it than actually searching for it myself :D Keep up the good job, cheers from Poland! :)
I've been playing (self taught) for like 17 years. And I feel like no one has ever broken things down and explained them to me like you. Thanks dude. Keep your head up
YES, YES, YES Garrett! I saw Obscura live exactly a month ago, and also got a pic with Sebastian. The entire band was so nice and incredible musicians.
So jealous. I missed them due to being sick a two years ago when they were touring with Inferi and Beyond Creation. Been waiting to see them for years. Though on the bright side, I did get to shake Rafael's hand when he was at a Fallujah/Equipoise show.
Seriously one of the best live bands out, I saw them with my best mate at the Corner Hotel in Melbourne and it was one of the sickest things I've ever seen. This band rips harder than a Gatorade bottle, bluetack and Al foil on a Friday afternoon at approx. 4:15pm
I wish i could give this 5 thumbs up!! The drum/cymbals = awesome ! The song/ playing = fn ridiculous! And the "fadeaway" reaction excellent!!! This is goin right to the saved list fo sho
"Kick his ass, Sebas!!!" Mr. Lanser knows no other mode of operation. Garrett, I dig your reaction analyses very much. It just plain makes me feel good seeing a trad'l jazz drummer enthusiastically pointing& geeking out on the same things I geek out on as a death metal drummer watching the heavyweights of our genre. One positive aspect of internet world is that it makes possible a universal community, where Seb Lanser et al aren't just obscure(_obscura_?😉) provincial talent known only to a certain sound, scene or region, but can take their rightful places as giants in the world of drumming, eligible for being the topic of conversations between drum enthusiasts of all stripes, like one is generally able to discuss your Copelands, Bozzios, or Gadds.
That was impressive! Really impressive drumming especially the double bass drum, the way he switches from 16th to triplets to 8th notes, it is insane! I miss you breaking it down more at the end of the video and explaining what the guy was doing or how you felt about it. I really recommend you to check: Florent Marcadet - Treasure This Pain he is really a great drummer from a very underrated band in Metal called Hacride.
Lanser is absolutely a different kind of monster. At first you notice how he plays really sharp simple things and then he just throws out something totally mind bending technical stuff out of the blue. Definitety check out Obscura - Diluvium
I know this is a drum channel primarily, but would like to remark that there's some real tasty bass playing in this song that needs some love, almost thought it was Erlend Caspersen.
Nice man, i knew you'd like him. I think your mind will be blown even more by his work in Panzerballett, a german Jazz-Metal-Band. Take Five live at Theatron is fucking killer
Please do Gorguts, "Le toit du monde" This band, Obscura, was actually named after one of their albums. And, I would argue, it's even a technical level above this.
