Inferno isn't human. Nergal invoked him from the depths of hell to blast for Behemoth.

Zbigniew Robert Promiński 'Inferno' is an awesome drummer with lots of groove. He is also a very tall guy.

Definitely one of extreme metal's forefathers. Poland has to be proud. Love your open minded approach Andrew. There is beauty beneath the surface of extreme metal. David Gray from Akercocke is an under rated drummer that is kind of under the radar of mainstream metal.

Ayyyy thank you! And we'll get you into metal. I was a fan of this guy ever since I saw them as supporting act on a Dimmu Borgir tour back in '08. Didn't hear them before that night but was blown away by their presence and this dude on the drums. His consistency and thoughtfulness on what to play was what really stood out to me. He had the cleanest double bass and high tempo blasts of the 3 extreme drummers that night, which is really saying something because the other two drummers were no slouches. Inferno just hit different. If you want another drummer that is similar-ish to Inferno that I know will make a lot of the metal heads happy, check Romain Goulon with his video "necrophagist drumming". Necrophagist is the OG tech-death band and pretty much every band of that genre just sounds like they are trying to be Necrophagist. It's just small clips from different songs off the album with him playing over top of them in his home studio, but, it's like watching a jazz trained drummer play extreme metal incredibly well. Very light touch and incredibly precise. I'm actually surprised you haven't been requested to react to it yet, it has quite a lot of views for an extreme metal drumming video that's not a whole song.

Duuude, I love Behemoth! Inferno rules! I'm soooo happy that you did this video. I read once that Inferno quit drinking vodka a month before the world tours to run on a treadmill to get ready for the stamina part of the music. I really live Behemoth because it sounds like classical music on steroids! All the parts are greatly orchestrated to fit the mood. I've seen them live and it was totally awesome! Thank you Andrew for taking the time and appreciation for what he does. Also if you have the time, check out John Rice on the Vic Firth drum cam(same one the Danny Carey did) when John filled in for Inferno. All I can say is "ALL HAIL BEHEMOTH ' 🤘🤘🤘🔥

Hell of a drummer, love his stuff. The intro to "Slaying the Prophets of Isa" is killer. My all-time fav is "Chant for Ezkaton, 2000 EV". I actually had to let him and his tech into a venue where I saw them play. I didn't work there but the venue was not the greatest so I stayed by the exit where they entered, haha. Inferno has so many good songs it is endless. Check out "As Above So Below" taken from the same show. Another killer 'Hemoth tune! Or "Christians to the Lions" just for the speed. Try Krimh playing my fav Septic Flesh song, "Babel's Gate" Playing along with that orchestration is mesmerizing.

I've seen this particular live clip plenty of times and one thing that just dawned on me is that the overdubs at the end of the song actually makes perfect sense in terms of the general aesthetics of the album the track is featured on, "The Apostasy" (2007): It was heavily inspired by Eastern Mysticism, to the point where the album cover even included the Hindu goddess Kali (or was at least inspired by it). And what is one of the most prominent features of this particular goddess? Several pairs of arms... 😛

The wild part is that this is FAR from Inferno's fastest, most technical, most complex, and most well-compositioned song. It's not an exaggeration to say that he's probably one of the best drummers of his generation, across all genres of music. I'd strongly encourage you to look into more Inferno and Behemoth, they're all brilliant on basically every level musically. You can pretty much just search "Inferno Behemoth drum cam" and it's all great material. Here's a link to a video diary they did when recording their 2009 album, episodes 1 and 2 both have some pretty good drum footage for you. kzread.info/dash/bejne/aKJ41tabd8fgp7g.html

Man I can't believe someone has to say that but you definitely need to look at Frost of Satyricon and 1349 - he is considered by some to be as good as, if not better than Dominator, and he's certainly insane enough. There are some very fine recordings, for example "Mother North" from their "live at the opera" show, but also some Drum Clinic stuff and more. Also, I think it is impossible to appreciate any Metal drumming without having listened to Dimmu Borgir's "The Chosen Legacy" - if you do, you NEED to use the studio version, I've not heard any live version that even gets close. The drummer on that song is Hellhammer, who is also right up there with Dominator and Frost and one of the "OGs" of Black Metal. I won't tell you why this song in particular, because no spoilers, but you'll know when you get to the point I mean. Love your reactions, cheers from Germany!

You should definitely listen and maybe do reaction to other song from the same album - Arcana Hereticae. Sadly I don't see any drum cams on youtube but there are some covers (by David Diepold for example). Drums in this track are really impressive.

I'll throw out 3 drummers that were all in the same band, Necrophagist. Marco Minneman, Hanes Grossman, and Romaine Goulon. All awesome drummers in my opinion.

How about reacting to this finnish drummer Heikki Malmberg of Diablo? He might be a bit unfamiliar to many, but his drum sound, beats and grooves are something to see. Songs like Read My Scars are almost entirely carried by his drum beat. It would be such a spiritless song if not for his drumming lifting it to another level. Symbol of Eternity also has some truly exciting drum beats. I think he's a prime example of how heavier genre of metal drumming doesn't have to be just fast or heavy, it can be damn groovy and interesting. His use of foot leading and straight hihat beat or hihat pedal makes me think more of Jackson's Sugarfoot drummer and Vinnie Paul than your average blastbeater. Or Opeth's drummers, who are also fantastic in projecting exciting beats onto the riffs.

Andrew, you make great points about the musicality of the drummers. However, I'm curious if your exposure to extreme metal has only been through drum cam videos? That being said, another viewer suggested David "Blast Vader" Gray from Akercocke and I whole heartedly agree. Check out "Akercocke - Praise the name of Satan live drum cam David Gray" but first PLEASE listen to the actual recorded song first so you have some bearings as to what the whole of the song entails. A lot of these live drum cam videos have crappy sound that doesn't let the viewer register everything that is going on in the song. We'll make you a metalhead soon enough \m/

Thanks for these tips. Always good to have as reference

I think all drummers should study the "Alexander technique" to become more relaxed and controlled. There is a philosophy in the teaching that would apply to drumming like this. Start by playing a beat as you would normal. Then play it again paying attention to all the muscles you use/tense to do it, back, butt, thighs, chest, shoulders, forearms. Then slowly bit by bit practice playing the same beat but can you do it without having a tense back, then without tensing your stomach, or forarms. It's about learning to do a movement (brushing your teeth, typing, playing a blast beat) while using the least effort and expending the least energy required to do it. You might start out playing a blast beat with literally your whole body tense to keep pace, but could end up playing with the same power and speed by twitching only a few muscles in your hand, while the rest of your body is completely relaxed, as an extreme example. These drummers who make it look so effortless remind me of this technique every time, as i'm sure they consciously worked towards this 'least effort required' style.

Thanks 👍😘🇸🇪
