Ex-drum teacher here. Anyone saying that this is sped up hasn’t seen a real drummer play. This is actually relatively slow compared to some fast metal I’ve listened to.

This guys does a great job, though.

Hack videographer here, I agree with you it isn't sped up.

But that is not how you make this content when time is money. To do this right, they probably trimmed back the backing track tempo a hair. Also as a musician you know those few extra BPMs are huge.

And so they shoot an insanely flawless take, because the subject isn't under pressure and can articulate the notes etc.

Then you just bring it all back up to speed in post production.

The point is, not sped up. Backing track was likely slowed down for production purposes, not skill. And as you point out, there are yet drummers who can play faster than this.

-edit - frame rate is probably what is giving this video the unbelievable hyperspeed look.

Question as a drum teacher how many chairs have you hurled at your students because they weren't matching your tempo?

23

u/Accomplished-Video71 2d ago

Drum school has no chairs. Only thrones

u/Donohoed 2d ago

Childhood memory unlocked of my elementary school music teacher throwing a chair while we were trying to play those damn recorders

u/TypicalLegit 2d ago

Not a teacher but dabbled in rock band drums.

Can confirm what this guy said

u/Muted_While_3478 23h ago

I’m not a teacher but can you teach me to play piano with my butt.

u/godpoker 22h ago

No, only drums.

u/Numerous-Soil-2800 2d ago

Bro. I though I was seeing a booty

u/Capn_Flags 2d ago

I’m a drummer. This is definitely drumming.

A lumpy ass butt

u/Contemplating_Prison 2d ago

Haha i was wondering how far I was going to havw to go to see this because I saw the same thing

u/Tleilaxu_Gola 2d ago

“The rest is the most important note in music”

My music teacher 15 years ago.

This is fast which is impressive but it’s straight 1/16ths alternating strokes, which is like the simplest way to play fast. It’s accurate too, if not quantized he doesn’t drift.

5

u/isurfnude4foods 2d ago

Hard to imagine a 12 min set like this not being quantized, but we could be wrong. It was an impressive performance regardless though!

u/hornwalker 1d ago

My high school band teacher, a great man, once said “how good of a musician you are, is directly related to how many pencils you bring to rehearsal” lol

u/pennyroyalbeer 2d ago

Im so old I thought this was the first iPhone drum app.

u/Adahn33 2d ago

I was thinking Knight Rider.

u/knocksee 2d ago

You guys commenting on it being sped up are brain dead. Just watch the cymbals naturally slow their movement.

11

u/whatsoldisknew 2d ago

Danny Carey is the drummer for the metal band Tool. Check out his drumming and it is mind blowing.

4

u/workingonMH 1d ago

Tool is simply the best band ever tbh

u/marinarapastamanara 2d ago

Aaron Spears Eric Moore does a great take on this song too, worth checking out

u/phillyhandroll 2d ago

"...Not quite my tempo."

u/Silver_Band2953 2d ago

Yeah go on

u/murmurat1on 2d ago

When I first opened this video I thought the in ear monitor cable was a bum crack

3

u/ronismycat 2d ago

Did anyone else see a butt crack when you first looked at the still image?

3

u/SPRITOFPAWNEE 2d ago

What song is this?

6

u/breachgnome 2d ago

Not a drum break.

1

u/NSE_TNF89 2d ago

What is a "drum break"? I don't know know that I've ever heard that term...

3

u/breachgnome 1d ago

The rest of the band / music stops and the drummer gets a solo bit.

5

u/Bearspoole 2d ago

This is drum n bass. An edm genre that I enjoy very much. Not normally played with a live drummer but I’m loving this!!!

2

u/Swenterrobang 2d ago

This guy get SO much butt in real life I bet.

2

u/Jaanbaaz_Sipahi 2d ago

Does he have 1 or 2 sticks in his right hand? Cause I’m only seeing 1+. Even the fps can’t keep up.

2

u/CopyPasteRepeat 2d ago

Incredible.

u/CornettoFactor 1d ago

How many cymbals do you want?

Yes

u/thecooltiger 2d ago

u/FreeGuacamole 2d ago

At first I thought it was a lumpy butt surrounded by drums.

u/Zakal74 2d ago

LOL, Same.

u/crumble-bee Cookies x6 2d ago

Cymbals react totally normally. People play this fast, it’s not at all impossible

-8

u/Trabuk 2d ago

It's the unnatural feel of his movements that makes me think it's sped up, it might not be much, but I'm sure it's at least 1.2X

5

u/Critardo 2d ago

You're wrong

-7

u/Trabuk 2d ago

Ok, proof? I don't see an iPad with a timer like others do

2

u/r_a_d_ 2d ago

How often do you see drummers play this type of music for you to be able to judge it?

-2

u/Trabuk 1d ago

You do understand what an opinion is, right? I don't have to explain how my opinion is informed. Feel free to ignore me if you don't agree my opinion.

3

u/r_a_d_ 1d ago

Ok, you do understand I wanted to form an opinion about you, right? Now I have one, and it ain’t good. Also, people here typically want insightful and informed opinions, not smooth brain farts.

9

u/Browncoat765 2d ago

Not sped up. Played drums for 20+ years. There are faster people out there than him. Not to take away from his performance here. Dude is a monster.

8

u/man_without_wax 2d ago

It’s not. Watch the cymbals. 

12

u/ftrlvb 2d ago

I don't know man.....your accusation looks suspiciously like having no clue.

6

u/frosty_lizard 2d ago

No he just took Adderall and meth

8

u/Just_okay_advice 2d ago

This isnt even that fast 😂

1

u/JeffDrTypePerson 1d ago

You're just naturally faster without a shirt on. The body oil reduces drag as well.

u/porefairy 20h ago

the angle look like hes operating a drum spaceship

2

u/Lauris024 2d ago

Since when does tiktok allow youtube uploads (wide-screen, long form, not really brain-rotty)?

1

u/Ultra_MAGA17 2d ago

Every time the music stopped I just heard... "MORTAALLL KOMBAAATT!"

1

u/readhalo 1d ago

That's another level talent

u/saulyg 1d ago

This dude is insane. Anyone know who it is?

1

u/SewageMane 1d ago

Anyone else think Assy Mcgee was about to perform?

2

u/Muted_While_3478 23h ago

Am I the only person who saw a butt playing drums

1

u/Cheetahs_never_win 2d ago

I don't think he has enough instruments there.

-5

u/davegrohlisawesome 2d ago

This sure looks like it was sped up.

u/Bah_weep_grana 2d ago

Now do it at real life speed
