The Faceless - Planetary Duality - Drum Cam 

Straight up one of the best drum cams

great is great is great

I think this qualifies as a legendary drum cam by now.

11 years later I feel the same

Still insane in 2022

Na you know you're a good musician when you look like you're climaxing while playing.

or if you know that You can controll your Seizures to perfection peole start thinking you must be a musician and hopefully they buy you a lekker Drumkit :-D Reeespect to Lyle ! and to a good quality drumcamvideo ! thanks ;-)

I came I saw you in 2 piece's

Lol I remember that being in a documentary. Hilarious

Mathijs Tieken yo I remember seeing that video where can I find it

Agree my friend

@@Quake18 Heroin didn't break another good writer. He has been clean for years.

fuckin agree!!!

@@brandonharris9160 He has not been clean for 'years', but yeah he's sober now. Just have to wonder if the opium burned the bridges permanently or not.

autotheism for me.

"Zen" as one way to tru to describe it. Going into that zone is the best

It's called the "Zone".

Seriously though. He is so insanely locked in. So effortless. I sometimes forget how fucking tight The Faceless is.

Its called the Zone

It's like he's using the moeller technique with his entire body.

@@PearlDrummerFTW that's a good description

@@PearlDrummerFTW mad eme spit my coffee out hahaha

@FERMLEE GRASSPIT Can confirm

Its because he’s playing double strokes.

Thanks! I probably have like 50 or 60 recordings like this, and I think I mixed like 6 or 7 hundred Faceless shows over the years- :)

TWANSONFOH what are you wating to upload some more brah!

TWANSONFOH whaaatttt upload it now !! Legion of serpent especially :)

+Alex Z yeah that whole cd sounds off now that you mention it, the synth they used in some of the songs you can barely hear it, just sounds like emptyness where something should be.

agree.

***** Ehh... I think Lyle Cooper is better. To each his own though..

+Lennart Bellemann oh really. That bad, huh?

Coming from a drummer, i'll say why Rudinger is better(Lyle is talented, don't get me wrong, but not near Alex's level). The thing with Lyle is, he kinda sloppy, he also throws way too many cymbals into the mix of things. Alex is clean, plays what is meant to be played and has a ridiculous adrenaline. This guy has a so/so adrenaline, he is weak with speed and cleanliness. There were some drum tracks that Alex wrote for The Faceless and Lyle learned them, but he was adding stuff that threw off the groove and feel of the song. Alex has also played multiple genres and incorporated those genres into his playing. The guy has more creativity and all around better playing.

+Kevin Young Alex Rudinger took no part in writing any of the Faceless's music according to the credits on the album. Alex Rudinger had a very short lived career with the faceless and I believe he composed absolutely no original music with The Faceless. Alex learned LYLE's parts. I don't know where you come up with this stuff but it's rather ridiculous.

Lyle Cooper is "weak with cleanliness"?! Are we watching the same video? Are we talking about the same Lyle Cooper? I saw The Faceless live with the Planetary Duality lineup, and it was the cleanest set by any metal band I've ever seen (and I've been to hundreds of shows). Even the members of other bands standing on the side were clearly blown away. Lyle plays the songs damn near perfectly. Also, you say he "adds too many cymbals"... this is a way of embellishing the song, not taking away from the song. Lyle almost plays progressive metal with a jazzy feel, which gives him the edge over the overly-robotic playing of Rudinger in my book.

Best comment ever. All the way back to Marcus Pitruzella

nah bro its 2024

@@zandiskoulwe out here

At least once a month

Weekly. My favorite faceless album, my favorite tracks.

Lyle still sleeping

indeed... it's like every single part of his body have it's own brain... stunning

fury55001337 well that would explain how he could sleep through most of the set.

fury55001337 except his eyes..which seem not to work at all...poor guy

He's good but check Jamie st merat for real alien like octopus drum extremity muscle memory!!!

Sweat in the eyes silly human

Cody Schubert me too man

I am not a watch but I drummer this all the time.

Me too. It's literally a peak musical performance. He is such a master the movements come completely natural and he can focus on 100% on timing and rhythm. It's like watching a master pianist and they're whole body contorts because they ARE the music.

Same

Same here bro I love drum cams with this amount of pure skill and killer sound

Make the faceless great again. Their new vocalist is weak af. And they hAve been touring without a bassist. Planetary duality without bAss is whack.

Cooper Cannabis541 I agree about having no bass but Julian Kersey, the current vocalist is absolutely amazing and you will never rid me of that opinion. I saw him perform all of PD on the final date of the ten year anniversary and he performed it flawlessly. Dudes a fucking beast and there’s no disputing it

@@coplord2762 he was complete garbage when I saw them this past summer. Cupping the mic, seemed to not know the lyrics, etc. Just bad

@@coplord2762 "there's no disputing it" Here you go. Easy to dispute. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Ax8qhuzl2ow.html

Do they even have any other members anymore

Limits? Transdimensional beings have no limits

I mean, it's just standard death metal drumming tbh. Still good though

​@@Existomaluswhatever you say kid...

@@W4rriorOfLight I'm more than likely older than you son. Calm down lol

@@Existomaluswell he’s doing something that no one else is. Say it’s standard but it comes off extraterrestrial if you ask me. Heard a lot of drummers in the years. Joey Jordison, Lech (as blood runs black) are two are my favorites. But I feel like this man is just on another level of technical

@@Existomalus people aren’t brutal enough to understand your comment. I’m here with you pal. And this is coming from someone who is a huggggggge fan of the faceless and Lyle Cooper

Live they are amazing bro no lie.

Yeah I was blown away at how amazing the vocalist is in this video. Seriously talented

Maybe if he was deeper but his highs need to be more accented so he's heard more. That way it hasore impact imop

Or if there was more pronounced words in some parts he would be better.like I'm his cleans or louder idk

Demon Carcass is a monster

lol!

lmfao

+Rylan Schorsch hahahaha nice

Hahahaha hahahaha awebo

definatly one of my top fav. drummers for sure

this is still hilarious three years later haha

hahaha

I think it's his forearms burning

@@monsta2311 I’m with you tbh consistent blasts

Lol I'm just imagining some rick and morty type shit now

Lollll

Keep going dude there is always someone worse than you haha, its not about who is better, JUST PRACTICE, I have been drumming for 5 months you are better than me!!!!! :D:D:D:D:D

If that is the case, you need to expand your knowledge. Play some swing, blues, jazz and shit like that. You have no clue how much jazz helps. Learn to read music and learn proper technique. DO IT UP

practice! take teaching lessons from a professor, because its' easy to stagnate when you have bad vices!

Nick Gallagher + 1 for thsi comment, jazz is the key

Practice,practice,practice,practice

Truth

Especially the vocals

@@filasophies4423 Ehhh thats one I gotta disagree with.

@@WoeIsLee Guitar and drumns though...

Live is king.

+MrTomkat030 but after watching Alex Rudinger... i say the same thing about lyle.

+MrTomkat030 He is probably concentrating

@Justin Rios I wish I was hypotenuse

He's probably tired, jet lagged, no rest and trying to conserve energy for the set

John Arnold he actually has stage fright/anxiety

Christians aren't too keen on concentrating on anything is the problem.

AbortedSouls They're busy salivating over the thought of lounging in a gold-plated, jewel-studded paradise while listening to the screams of agony coming from the lake of fire. You know, love-your-neighbor stuff.

i like that! \m/

you should watch the sky is red drum playthrough by leprous

The Neowolf literally dude. One of my top favorites. I kinda link this album to Rings of Saturns Lugal Ki En album. They’re pretty different but this song would make such a good origin

@@pazu2934 this is better than lugal ki en, tbh. Maybe not in speed, but in musicianship and technicality, it is, imo. Technicality as in the technical timing, btw.

I agree. Lyle reminds me of the good reasons I listen to the albums still.

Alex is agressive, looks he hit those drums at power lvl 9000 lol

Not really. Alex is more of power and heavy hitter. Lyle is a pure speed drummer so he has to stay relaxed to keep the phase. It is like you are comparing two total different elements. And theres no one better here, Lyle has the style you prefer, basically, Lyle is just your preference that is why.

@@ralpholivemusic6272 you are 100 percent correct

​@@ralpholivemusic6272Except that Lyle is the one who actually wrote, and recorded the drums on this album. He will always play it better. Also, you speak as if Lyle is a light hitter, but that can't be further from the truth. Both _are_ incredible drummers though.

Ernest Gurule

It's awesome eh. I watch it at least once a year

@@Benjamin-om3ih I’m once a month lmao! Lyles insane!

Gabe Johnson YOOOO SAME

He fuckin IS the music!! Feelin' it!

Finaly someone with a brain that functions properly

Your answer is the most accurate, Chris. I just watched that stupid illuminati video where they swear he is clearly under "demonic possession" during this performance. lol that's a joke right??

Exactly, triggers don't mask your ability. In fact, they do the EXACT OPPOSITE. I play on an electric Roland TD20, and every mistake I make is amplified. Triggers work the same way. If you fuck up everyone will know because the sound is crystal clear.

you still need to be a good drummer for this to work though

Triggers allow you to “purr” when you play faster. I do believe they allow drummers to play lighter and preserve their energy. I remember this band that played before mine had a drummer that was using triggers and was asking the sound guy to increase the gain on his base drum. It’s an issue to me when drummers like that depend on triggers to enhance their strength, unless they’re doing something like the Faceless, then I understand. But the guy I’m talking about was very weak and the triggers didn’t help him.

they practice always to stay this tight. the whole band is amazing.

we think he has got shooty arse

Source?

Yeh.. Pics or it didn't happen!

Lol!

Give that man a cookie!

basically

This is old but I came back to this vid today because it's sooooo good. Anyway, you might already know them but the drummers for Fallujah and Ulcerate also slay on another level. Like ascendant plane drumming.

@@chickenslips ulcerate 💪😉

no idea how the fuck that got started demonic bullshit i to play with my eyes closed playing through the eyes of the dead and a few songs from the faceless

BIG T because people who believe in that are fcking pussies >.> with small brains

Are you sure? One of the devil's best tricks is to make one believe they're NOT possessed. ;)

One of the best comments I’ve read in a while

@@lily13337 ty😂

Technical Death Metal*

+Daniel Saldanha its fockin gr8

+Korpen it's tech death metal but I would put this under aliencore too. It's like Rings of Saturn

Listen to Senseless Massacre by Rings of Saturn

Possession is as fake as your "God". Your argument is invalid.

Samuel Evans You were so stuck on burning this dude for being christian that you didn't even bother to read his comment.. You are the definition of stupid.

No, I'm the definition of "troll".

***** I was totally like that in 7th grade haha

I'm a christian andmokcbblahblahbgsrehmzofoe

Yeah but he’s still using singles, same you’d use a microphone to sing

Jordan Kasper no

@@Brensta18 yes. You simpleton.

Joseph Lyons I can guarantee he is not counting :/

you count when you learn but after you master it, its all about the feel.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

This was written by aliens and computers, bro. What do you mean

​​@@alk3603still made in human brains.

zuc play drum for techical death metal band

He actually has stage fright so he closes his eyes. Lots of drummers do this as a tactic to keep going. If they open their eyes. They might miss a beat so it's amazing he can play by memory.havimg to remember where the cymbals are and drums. It's astonishing.

Hes nodding haha

Dude is the definition of a sick drummer...

commenting on my own post 3 years later. this is still on of the best drum performances ever

He is far from a tapper. He plays pretty strong for his speed.

Yeah I also noticed he has some light sticks too.hmm. must help with his speed

why do all of you fanboys keep saying its wierd technique? there's nothing "wierd" about the technique because there is NO technique. he's simply doing buzz rolls with his feet segrated by a 4 count of slower single strokes, and his hits are unevenly spaced, hence, NO Technique. not impressive

The overall form is what's weird, it looks like he has fucking epilepsy when he goes into a fast roll. And no fan boy here, I just enjoy the Faceless and good drumming. Also, it's weird*.

***** Why is there no technique? Why don't you try playing like that, not saying that he is the best drummer ever but has good technique...Also yeah...it's weird

***** What's the definition of technique?

***** It's called the flat foot technique. Other drummers like Alex Rudinger, Derek Roddy, etc practice the same tech. Like Bro England said, its the overall form that everyone's referring to as being weird, but i like that weirdness. He's been my favourite drummer for a long time. Only disappointing thing is, he doesn't upload his work like the other drummers do (very few) :( so not many know about him

both

he was just sleepwalking

Meshuggah stuff

my ass, get deported to gulag....no one cares what year your watching in

I'm watching this every year

Lol people like that are so toxic

never tell me to hold your beer I'll drink it.

lol
