Hell yeah seth foreverman

Looks like you didnt forgot how to play them, you did awesome !!

remember to blast beat

The way you mould and reshape music to make it interesting or comedic is genuinely one of my favourite things about seeing an upload from you!

I mean that's how this channel usually is lol, he uploads once and then he "sleeps" for two months to quote his Twitter bio

You must be new here.......

@@p3rs0n42 in other words "First time?"

Dont forget only 3 days ago he revealed his baldness was fake.... sad day in deed

@Minxa kuna 5 im ngl, i always wanted to say this, dude i wouldnt wanna touch that, cause just like you there might be a virus

HOLY SHIT YOURE STILL ALIVE??

don't forget the toilet

I could not believe it!!! 2 legends still alive and well :)

@@Nikki-tm2ck He's doing science and he's still alive.

@@Nikki-tm2ck Actually he uploaded just 3 weeks ago...

That's the magic of the drums

I play some percussion and I can tell you firsthand hitting a $1k worth of an instrument with funny stick is very satisfying

@@Shlepp_xal Yeah, I don't think he had much of a choice in the matter... It's hard to stoneface that level of physical exertion.

The magic of ABBA for a Swede

Fr?

Is this real??

@@averagerallyenjoyer9927 99% no

Dan is the most honest dude on the internet, there is no chance he would lie. Swedish music was different before Thomas Haake invented the drums.

What about the missing distorted guitar playing power chords

thats the effect of drumming, impossible not to have fun

Yes. He is

@Mbita Acoustic Guitar bruh

@Mbita Acoustic Guitar subscribed! Everyone deserves better

@@ZachHouseZach I hope you realize this is a bot, and that comment it made is the exact line every other bot has commented. There is no person behind that profile.

ABBA is good tho. That's not dodging bullets, it's like... it's like never eating bacon.

@@showalk i’ve never really listened to abba before (though i’m an american so i guess that might be why)

@@showalk I've never had bacon my life is pretty decent

You trying to diss abba or sum shit??

He's still never heard them, those headphones were blocking the sound. It's just pure coincidence that the drumming matches.

What does it mean he reached 7/16?

@@hini63 7/16 is an unusual time signature to play in to say the least

@@hini63 7 beats per measure, 16th note gets the beat

Aka the drummer is getting tired and slowing down, but not enough to just play half speed

as i said under a different comment, “he actually looks like he’s living a fulfilled life and not simply drifting by in a steady haze of depression and emotional emptiness”

@@kaphizmey6229 I have mixed feelings about that to be honest. When I was watching his stream on twitch he looked quite sad like he really need a real hug or he looked calm more like he has accepted that life can be so shitty sometimes.

That's what drums will do to you

I was thinking the same, it's weird to see him so out of character xD

@@abeermuntasir4346 It's in our DNA

hes the BALD guy DUH

he actually looks like he’s living a fulfilled life and not simply drifting by in a steady haze of depression and emotional emptiness

Bald guy back with the Bethlehem 11's 🥶🥶🥶

Hes Upgraded to become the Berks guy

he’s swedish ;)

@@jonatgan8546 no further explanation needed

sus

I'm not sure if Seth is joking or not here, but if one critically listens to enough popular music, it's easy to predict where that kind of stuff would be. It's no big task to fudge the rest.

More likely his "first time of the day", no one believes he has never listened to it.

@@klick9284 you are a weird bot, who tf programmed you?

True

you're not the first to realise :P if you search "abba metal" you'll find a whole collaborative powermetal tribute album from like, early 2000's

ABBA is objectively good regardless of music taste!

@Mbita Acoustic Guitar Sell lemonade or cut some grass kid.

Youre definitely right. I totally see it now

@Mbita Acoustic Guitar oh yeah?! Well my parents said that if I get straight A’s, they’ll buy me a Lamborghini!! My parents are cooler than your parents!!!

Where can I sign? :D

Fr also very sick playing

I think that was the face of pain and burning in them muscles

@@cottleston4525 Pain, yes... but also fun. He genuinely seems to enjoy it. That's cool. When's the last time someone popped something like this not as a chore to get NordVPN or whatever ad through.

Drums do that to you

Bald man go brrrr

@@serban031 He can be a good musicion, but yeah... bald man go brrrr is definitely what he is best known for

We? I think you mean yourself.

Didn't play too well for a musical genious.. Maybe he was warming up?

Yeah like yeah like yeah

Drums will do that to people

lets play "cumming or drumming?"

@@ItsKam ?!

@@ItsKam now that shit funny!

Seth EverShown

Nah, 8bitdrummer exists

new genre? This is just how anime opening songs are made

@@magnustimbre2824 I was thinking the exact same thing… europop + metal = anime intro

Check out Amberian Dawn They are ABBA metal

@@gurbanguliberdimuhamedov4228 no there are symphonic metal

True dude

At first I thought he was just doing a meme bit, but I went back and listened and can't believe it all actually lines up. 😂 what a legend

No clue about drumming, but as a prog fan I concur

It was wild. was not expecting Seth to go so hard.

What does prog mean?

@@lo0k3r progressive as in progressive rock/metal

I love the energy he has in this lol

But he will always be the bald guy

He used play drums in his older video lol

you forgot a d there mate. *devolved

Same !!

@Mbita Acoustic Guitar that’s sad begging for subs. Work hard to get it on your own.

Look up Swedish Hitz Goes Metal. You're welcome.

Yeah but that was a 7/16 time signature not a polyrhythm

Technically, I believe you’d call this a polymeter and not polyrhythm. If the 7/16 pattern would’ve been repeated on the 1 of every 4/4 you might call it a polyrhythm, but for that to be possible the tempo of the 7/16 pattern has to be altered. Metric modulation is a related and relevant term.

I dont Think u understand it either. But i guess that just enforces ur point even more

@@slashersoul2380 I guess he tried lol

@@alexanderpurkis3508 yes thank you for explaining it! i took 1 (one) fundamentals of music class in college and it did not cover any of this lol

Drumming does that to ones face

Honestly concerned for him People who make jokes about depression are often depressed themselves

True

@@timmy1506 Metal makes everyone smile.. It's good to see that it's this purest form of music that brings out the real bald guy, the joyful bald guy..

he was focused on not smiling

It was like watching Saitama enter serious mode

Plus a few that he has invented.

11/10 would pay for this

*Breathes heavily in Tchaikovsky*

Add in his acapella for the lyrics

Oh, u mean like, NES cartridge and toilet bowl and sofa and pillows? X"D

@@mateoneandross7656 You're pretty much bang on. There are not that many techniques you specifically need for metal drumming and a lot of it can be just purely stamina. At the most technical/fast end of the metal genre there can be stuff that is genuinely physically difficult to play as written and performed - Nile is one great example of that - but even when metal as a genre tries to be conceptually complex, it usually sticks to the genre-defining tropes and song structures. Jazz drumming gets way more difficult generally, and at the extreme end of Jazz, the sky's the limit.

Metal drumming is not as hard as jazz drumming. Full stop. There's way more variation to the latter. I don't even like jazz and yet still acknowledge this fact.

@@DA-js7xz yeah, as someone with a jazz drumming background who played metal all of his teenage years you eventually get over it as something "difficult" to play, of course there are exceptions especially the more modern you go, drumming in metal has evolved to a more complex thing, but still not as "hard" as playing some contemporary jazz or even math rock imho

You guys really need to broaden your horizons if "jazz drumming" is peak tech for you. You've honestly never heard about Meshuggah, Animals as leaders, Vildhjarta, Archspire or even Tesseract? Intronaut, Car Bomb or Leprous? Jazz is child's play compared to what these guys are doing

metal drumming that isnt acrobatic blast beats or dream theater is actually not hard... jazz on the other hand you can be a drummer for 10 years and still be unable to play the grooves with decent fluency

Ikr. Its just so fucking unexpected.

Now we need your take!

Ohhh yurrrrr!

Hi Samus!

SSexx

This needs to be in The Black Satans' next music video.

needs more trve kvlt

nice to see you around, Jon! :]

Seeing the Jon Sudano in the comment section is better than Seth on drums FYI.

The world needs more Jon Sudano. Somebody once told me that you're a great dude.

i'm guessing one big ha, followed by a lil nose snort

Ok

ok

@Mishan 🅥 No one beats Seth.

@Mishan 🅥 I didn't realize it was April 1st already

What he means with the title of the video, is what would happen if a Metal Drummer heard the song, he is not referring to himself. Check the description, he clearly knows ABBA xD

He has blessed us

Björn and Benny are two of Swedens most successful songwriters of all time, Agnetha and Frida were (and still are) great vocalist and their studio/touring musicians, most prominently Rutger Gunnarsson (bass), Janne Schaffer (guitar) and Ola Brunkert (drums) are legends in Swedish music history in their own right. This was pop music before it became a minimalism-obsessed industry

they are extremely talented all around and their b-sides are amazing!!! it shocked me that this is the first time they’ve been nominated for a grammy!!!

Yeah, I grew up in the 80s, and kinda thought of them as disposable pop, but at some point -- I think it was when ABBA Gold was released in '92, I felt like people who normally would have scoffed at them started taking a serious second look. By the late 90s, early 00s, it was "cool" to like them again. Not that music should be measured by what is "cool" or not, but my point is their reputation definitely took a serious uptick around that time. Pretty soon, I remember hearing almost every other indie rock band name check them (Kurt Cobain was said to be a big fan, but he was always ahead of the curve on these things, if not defining the curve), and the various musicians I played with, many into punk and post-punk, all loved them. ABBA are great song writing, melodies, harmonizing, and orchestration. It is perfect pop.

I am late 90s baby and I simply love ABBA. It all started with the Mamma Mia movie, which is incredible, and my mother's love for the group. I'm glad their songs are still played 🤩

welcome to the world of adults

we stan Austin Weber in this household. An absolute icon.

to play the drums, one must first try playing the c o u c h , then the t o i l e t s e a t

That moment made me wheeze disbsndn

so… autism? (if you’re from twitter, i’m neurodivergent myself, pls don’t cancel me 🙃)

Really? Is he actually enjoying himself?

Skill, not talent. He's put in the work, not just born with it

@@robinneary9643 shut up

I think it gives "I'm a young high school music teacher, I am just here because lack of staff and I can play an instrument" vibe

yeah this is such an unexpected facial emotions reveal, even davie504 warned the viewer beforehand

at last

Yeah, that was sick.

his editing to insert the beat numbers - also impressive must have taken forever!
