"Learn how to read contracts." That's a sound advice you could give to anybody who played in Slayer, at any time.

Great guy, great drummer!

Fun fact : When he says he had a job in the 80's hes talking about working for slayer as a roadie. ( lights tech something ). :) Back when slayer recorded Haunting the chapel, The studio did not have any carpetting in to so Dave lombardo's kit would eventually start to move as the kicks start going so Gene hoglan had to be there to hold Lombardo's drumkit together. The very first double bass kit that Gene played was Lombardo's :D

+Sgt.James Doakes Lovely guy, Gene. I met him outside City Gardens in Trenton NJ when he was with Dark Angel. This must have been around 1988. I was a sophomore in High School. Very accessible. Came off as a nice goofy type of dude. Glad to see he's doing well. He is pulled a Neil Peart and wrote lyrics for Darkness Descends.

That sounds doubtful that he was talking about that because he said 9 to 5 job, slayer would def need him rougher hours than that. Unless he meant 9pm to 5am haha

Apparently he was coaching Lombardo on how to play double bass during those recording sessions while holding on to the bass drums.

One of the reasons Gene is so good is because he loves all music and brings those other styles into his metal drumming. The best way to sound generic is to only listen to the kind of music you play.

Glorious and humble guy. His level is proportional to his kindness.

To this day, his drumming on Death's Symbolic is, to me, the best drumming ever recorded in metal. The last Testament record is pretty awesome, but Symbolic is on another level completely. Such an amazing, humble, down-to-earth musician. A true gentle giant.

Gene 'Atomic Clock' Hoglan. Love his FF / SYL work.

I don`t know if it is this pandemic or his Lemmy-Shirt, but halfway through the interview i suddenly realized that i am actually afraid of the day that Gene won`t be with us anymore. I don`t want this man to die.

I met Gene at a drum clinic 14 years ago and I can say he’s the nicest most down to earth guy I’ve ever met. An absolute legend in the music industry

One day ,one of my best friend at a concert in Seattle told me ,pay attention to the drummer at the time was strapping ,and since then one of my favorite drummers thank you very much mr gene

I've always admired your drumming, your ethics and your killer personality, great interview Drumtalk and thank you Gene Hoglan.

The friendliest and hardest working man in metal. Great video.

Gene is an amazing guy very a genuine and he's drumming is awesome too. You know he taught Dave Lombardo double back in the day.

Gene makes it sound so easy,just hit things LOL. Ok Gene.

Most respect for Gene

Awsome Interview.... thanks

My inspiration. In once heard a CD by a band Dark Angel. many years ago .......and holy shit. HE was so ahead of the pack

Gene is such a great drummer, one of the best! I never knew how open his personality is! I love how he's influenced by all this awesome fusion music, I discovered fusion the same time I got into Death, Strapping and Gene's contributions to both bands. This video really really makes me happy. :D

This Man Is awesome!!!! Gene Hoglan Is so down to earth, a very Great drummer in all Sense!!!!!

Respect!!! Hoglan rules!

He speaks so much sense. Just amazing

Love Gene! He is só humble!

One of the greatest of all times!

Really amazing drummer, great interview!

Thank you for this one! Gene is my Nr:1 Drummer all-time. Overactive Imagination is still my all-time favorit metal song. His cymbal work is totally unique. If he would be born black into a gospel type setting/community, he would be the god, together with Moore and Coleman for sure.

well, it doesn't happen often but there are more! check out Marco Minnemann, Flo Mounier, Ryan van Poederooyen, Dirk Verbeuren & George Kollias' first appearances or Chris Pennie. All have pads and show you different things from rudiments to posture etc,

Super tasty drumming....love it! Love Gene!

Not only is he amazing on drums, but he's good at telling you how to get there!

It's hard to really pick favorites with so many amazing drummers but Gene is definitely in my top five. It's so interesting to hear the story of the boat propeller. For years I could never understand the quotations "propeller" or prop in between his name sometimes in album credits. Now it all makes sense. Lol.

Gene is the man...Doesn't matter how many interviews/excerpts/wtf ever I hear from him, lol, he is definitely the most down to earth guy ALWAYS, with NO bs! GREAT drummer and human being "ta boot." Lol

I had one 9 to 5 job....what a ‘blessed’ guy, both in personality, talent and creativity. At my 38y I really enjoy metal-minded music again. As a drummer, I listened and listen to several styles. Went through a dpressive period, working (Too) much and therefore lost Some of my interest, creativity and skills in drumming. Still a struggle, but the postive mental attitude of guys like Gene Hoglan do me Well. Dressed in a suit when going to the Office, I need to listen Some metal on the cd player in my old but beloved Saab :). Keep up Gene and the overall metal community!

The young Gene was the BEST!

Hoglan rocks. Good stuff

Your playing with Death...will Stay Forever

Have seen this legend live playing in four my favourite bands :D Hope SYL will come back.

If I had to sum Gene up it would be. He’s the all around go to drummer, any band that’s needing another dude and a last minute dude. Takes him nothing to learn your shit. He’s that good.

This guy's a genius!

I think the most impressive thing about Gene is that he uses weights on his ankles when he plays. His calves are strong enough to crush concrete.

Wow!

Dark Angel is probably one of the 5 best thrash bands of all time. Is the band Gene Hogan has poured most of his heart in. But kids today know nothing. Ooh. Did he play in fear factory. lol

Been a fan since Dark Angels second album came out. Don't know how Slayer did not hire him after Lombardo left the first (or was it second) time. They actually tried him out.

11:58 Samba Beat!

Love Gene but damn I could not take my eyes off his Lemmy shirt. Do they still sell those? If so where?

What an awesome guy! And he is AMAZING at what he does and HOW he explains what he thinks when he plays! And I don't want to hate or get hate, but I have a question... Does any of you guys know what is going on with his belly? Did he had a hernia or just a plain ol' stomach, like some of us :D
