ULCERATE-Stare Into Death And Be Still-J. Saint Merat. Live in Sweden 2022 (Drum Cam) 

"Ulceration" sounds odd...

@@FlorianPestilenz Haha! “Ulceration 101”.

Word!

IMHO, his setup is just a leverage for his enviable drumming. But, indeed, his timings, fillings, all of his plays are extraordinary. For years, he is setting the (human playable) limits - in terms of complexity paired with speed and sublety.

@@FlorianPestilenz Well put brother. Also, the effortless power he achieves with his fast single strokes in his tom fills is something to behold.

​@@Virvum_Juggernaut Ye! Also his flawless switch from efficient double-bass (calf controlled) to heel-toe for a perfect fraction of timing. He reminds me, that, if you have a HUGE talent, train it nevertheless. The most likable drummers (also featured here) are the most humble ones and yet the most talented - I guess it is a guideline **cough** *Aaron Kitcher sucks* **cough**

@@FlorianPestilenz IKR? “Aaron Kitcher” LMAO! If only he could physically play his drum tracks. I stick to the likes of Jamie, Darren Cesca, David Diepold, Spencer Prewett, Guilio Galati, Sebastian Lanser, Ken Bedene, Kerim Lechner, etc, but my top 2 cleanest speed demons with flawless techniques are Janne Jaloma and Simon Schilling. It blows my mind how the most élite extreme metal drummers of today have mastered every foot technique imaginable and switch between them when necessary (as you mentioned). Edit : How good future drummers will become is a frightening prospect considering that it already beggars belief how insane they are now.

i'm glad someone said it. i backed it up 6 times to watch that again. flawless and brilliant

I like the kick sounds, it has a very organic and natural sound, in spite of being triggered. Hell of a lot better than the plastic sounding laser beam samples most drummers use these days.

@@cbl6520 much better, and his technique too, i see a lot of drummers using a pitiful heeltoe technique and a horrible trigger sound on the kit.

Immaculately sorted kit

Agreed man. He's literally on another level from everyone else. Used to think it was Lille Gruber...nope.

I have to go back to this piece at least once every fucking day and it blows me away every time!! I could practise 30 more years and not reach this level WTF!

True!!

And a couple decades from now they will remember him as one the greatest drummers to ever grace this planet. Just a force of nature.

Absolutely true!

Surely Ulcerate have toured the States before … haven’t they? Dude below commented that he just saw them in Copenhagen.

@@Virvum_Juggernaut If they have then I missed them. I know they've played Maryland Death Fest a time or two, but that's a good ways away from me. I would imagine they've at least toured the states once or twice, but if they did they were nowhere close to me.

@@Jeffmetal42 Fair enough man, I had no idea and just assumed that they would have. I’m an Aussie and have only seen them live once, but they were extraordinarily tight, almost a spiritual experience musically. Kind of like the Tool version of extreme metal. Here’s hoping that you get to see them in the near future brother!

@@Virvum_Juggernaut hell yeah man! Thanks! I like your name too, that's the name of one of my favorite Deeds of Flesh tunes. ,🤘

@@Jeffmetal42 Much appreciated mate. Your musical taste is exemplary! Check out Darren Cesca’s DEEDS OF FLESH drum playthroughs. He’s phenomenal. All the best brother! 🤘🏻 Edit : Going by your profile pic, I bet you appreciate the fact that the legendary Ken Bedene can also play guitar whilst being so sick a drummer hey?

Definitely,

Pretty sure that is Jamie's kit

⁠@@mikegladstone8834that kit has the cheap Remo UT made in Taiwan heads they make for pearl. More than likely a back line kit (rented) as this was also filmed in Sweden and ulcerate is from New Zealand - traveling all that way with his kit would cost more than renting one and dig into the bands profits.

@@mikegladstone8834 It's not his kit...he has a BLX Lava finish which has been discontinued. That one is a pearl master (modern version) In the latest shows they had in US he was using a green sparkle MMX (looks like it) its his latest video you can find.

Pewnie nieprędko. Byli w Lublinie 2 listopada 2022, z Mgłą. Wcześniej w 2017.

@@drummersfromhell666 😭

Do dziś mam bilet z 2017 😊

@@wujBat wykorzystany? Czy czeka na przedarcie? ;)

@@drummersfromhell666 oczywiście byłem na koncercie. Grali z Archspire i Rivers of Nihil. Mega skład!

Word … lol.

They're more catchier with their latest album. It's still Ulcerate, though.

i have one bell on my left side, i think its easier to carry and to set in the kit, he could not put a big ride to close to his toms like he did with a small bell. A small bell can be placed anywhere in the kit and with a more simple drum hardware.

@@hugorezende199 This is a good option, but it has a second ride on the kit

He uses 2 8" bells, so I guess he prefers their sound?

Check out Verberis, it's a blackened death metal band he's in. Still fairly complex but not as much as Ulcerate

@@LegiTTxBoss true there is where you could here his more musical chops ...is like if ulcerate drop the blast beast and the crazy chaotic polymetric stuff and remplace it with the atmospheric more restraint section of ulcerate...so when the chaos arrives is more black metal oriented less fill and complex cymbal/ foot work

awesome band by the way (i know i know this drummer is insane)
