I adore Leprous and Baard. “The Sky is Red” pleeeeease. Subbing! To answer your question, they’re decently well known in America. Depends on what circles you’re talking about. They’re heavily respected in the metal community.

Huascar Rojas I’ve seen literally every playthrough he’s done. I think “Rewind” is more entertaining than most others from my perspective as someone who isn’t a drummer. But “The Sky is Red” is objectively good.

Man check out Dan Presland from Ne Obliviscaris, or Matt Halpern from Periphery. Your explanation and love of the shuffle will really make you appreciate those too. They’re both very rudimentally sound drummers. I think you’d very much enjoy them!!

I’m not a drummer but really appreciate your breakdown of one of my favourite Leprous tracks. Thank you.

If you loved this, then i’d recommend his playthrough of Moon, its insane

Baard is just a GOD drummer. And he's pretty young..slowly becoming one of the best drummers ever born. No doubt about it. You absolutely have to do reactions to his other videos.. "Rewind" or "The Sky is Red" are awesome examples of his skills..

Rewind by Leprous is a banger and another really unique drum track

I second 🌕 for review too!

Leprous is right up my alley and I still only discovered them 3 or 4 years ago, but their whole catalogue is really great. I got to see them on tour with BTBAM and The Dear Hunter a couple years back (which for me may have been the show of my life if the venue's acoustics hadn't been so awful). Baard is a beast of a drummer and at the same time has shown great subtlety and restraint as the band has inched a bit further away from metal over their last couple albums. You should definitely check out more of their stuff.

You gotta love the half time shuffle, just another example: BARONESS - If I Have to Wake Up Would You Stop the Rain

He talked in an interview about changing his grip & NOT placing all his fingers on the stick because he found that he can get a better sound from a slightly different grip technique. He stated that he preferred the sound he could produce with a more open grip & although different grips maybe work for different drummers the important thing is for to be aware of sounds u produce. Here's the interview for those who're interested - he start talking about it around the 5:30 mark kzread.info/dash/bejne/qoGZuJKoiqvSfNI.html

Yesss! I've been hoping you'd get to baard sooner or later. Guy is killing it!

Great stuff man, really enjoyed it. Provided some interesting insight I love this band, they're all kinds of weird, but sound so damn good! Thank you

I like the fact that you actually explain what the drummer is doing. It's great for a non-drummer like me who's interested in rhythm!

Great Video.. I learned alot.

Yeah Baard is a beast. I love his other project he plays with a dj. Worth checking out for sure.

Hands down most real drum teacher on the Tube, much respect. I don’t drum but do enjoy beats and sense following you find myself hearing only the drums in songs and nothing else. Cheers.

Corpse paint isn't that far away in Norwegian metal community. The singer Einars brother in law is Ihsahn from Emperor and is featured on the Leprous song Contaminate me. Ihsahns solo stuff is also great prog metal. Barrd Kolstad has played with Borknagar too.

love this video! you should react to tomas haake of meshuggah. it's a swedish metal band since 1987 and tomas haake is playing the drums since 1990 in the band. excellent guy!

Leprous are great and hell yeah, that dude sure can play.

They write some pretty wild stuff I think you'd appreciate the style.

Baard is a monster on the kit. Check out Slave, Live at Rockefeller Center.

How about reviewing Adam Deitch of Lettuce!! Killer funky drummer!

Leprous is a great band. Leprous- Slave live is another good one to check out. They played the states but they’re not that big here. Sadly, most Europeans bands are not big in the states but are incredible. In high school in the mid 90’s 90% of the bands I listened to were from overseas. Imo they just did more creative things musically than in the states.

@Junkdrummer TV Could you please do a reaction to “Steven Wilson - The Watchmaker (Live in Frankfurt)” The drummer is Marco Minneman. Much much love!

First time watching, good stuff brother. Since you mentioned corpse paint and black metal a couple of times, thought you might find it interest to know the singer of Leprous is the brother in law of Ihsahn from Emperor. Hope you are feeling better now.

What do you mean? You start on the downbeat of the example 12/8 measure with your right hand. If what you're playing are the 8th notes in 12/8 (sound like triplets in 4/4) then your right hand would ALSO have the back beat! 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 Alternating RLRL The fact that you're accenting your left hand either means you're playing a 5 let, or you're playing "triplets" and accenting 1 partial before the backbeat
