David Diepold definitely on that 100% note streak

David is a machine. I’m excited for new obscure stuff with him on drums and how he deals with the drumparts of Sebastian Lanser and Hannes Grossmann👌🏼.

IDK I always could tell David was real just from his technique. Dude has put in the hours of work.

love david diepold ever since i saw his cover of Kingborn by Fleshgod. in that video he misses a snare hit in a roll and it's missing from the audio too. dude's legit and a monster.

You can tell by the Dredg shirt he’s a serious musician. Also the paranormal speed and precision are indicators.

Please keep doing these they’re so fun to watch haha

I remember finding one of your videos like 10 plus years ago playing that metal song with the meshugah bleed part in the middle. Now here we are. Awesome to see you still putting videos out!!

I always keep coming to watch these videos because the titles always crack me up....Keep it up dude....

I first discovered David with his Cryptopsy cover. I’ve played 2 shows with Cryptopsy...Flo is a god, but he always looks like he’s pushing as hard as he can. Meanwhile, David covers Cryptopsy and he’s smiling and barely breaking a sweat.

I don't think there was, my guess is people just wanted to see Craig explain in detail just how fucking good the guy is hah.

He started using double strokes later though. Personally, I don't care what technique or tools people use, double strokes or triggers, if it's the way they want to achieve the sound they want. If you say you don't use triggers or quantizing but you actually do, then you're a a liar. If you program drums and you say you program drums because that was the way to achieve what you wanted to achieve with the music, so be it. Fucking tired of people wanking over technical ability over how the music affects them. Like that one gobshite sending messages to every metal band he can find to ask "DO YOU USE TRIGGERS, SAMPLES OR QUANTIZING?" Like, if you can't tell just from listening, who gives a shit. Unless you're lying about it, but that's your problem. It's nice to be appreciated in your craft and to put the effort in, but in the end, the goal should be to create something that communicates the idea that you want to convey with the music.

Loved the Vid! Where can i watch your stream and at what time roughly?

Great review man, he is a cracking drummer....

Have to put it out there... and it might just be me... but Craig’s explanation of how you can tell it’s real is FASCINATING! Like, I never knew any of this stuff before (not a drummer tbf) but also never really thought about it much.

His cover of “worship the digital age” by whitechapel is insane! Worth a watch if you haven’t already

Been watching this dude for 7 years. His “dead set on suicide” cover was my first vid by him. Every damn video blows me away. I couldn’t imagine the hours this dude puts into his practice. Hearing what he writes for Cognizance is amazing.

Man it's good to hear different tones in a death metal drummer. There's minor blends on some of the drums but only for production

you can hear the inconsistency in the rim shots like not in a bad way but they wont always sound exactly the same if its natty and thats how you knows this is undeniably real

He also has a video of this without the Nile song laid on top so it's just the drums audio. And you should check out his current day blast beat technique, it's pretty natty 😂

Lmao natty or not?? Sick video

You're gonna need to check out Kevin Paradis 🤘

At the beginning of David’s video we can read "Conservatoire of Music and Art" which is why there are chairs all around and I guess that place sounds awesome in person.

The thing is there is no shame in using triggers. Nobody can make drums hearable at this speed anyway so triggers are necessary at these speeds.

the hihat looks like it got some felt on top... but his smile is almost unnerving... somehow ran into this video just today...

This foo is dope! Daddy Diepold never disappoints!

Have u seen his Despised icon cover?

What do you think of flesh god apocalypse’s use of double strokes

100% Agree totally natty. Yes, he has triggered on the kicks, but are they quantized no! His timing is still great with his feet, but it's not a straight quantized machine gun. You can still hear the human tempo inconsistencies that exist. In David's case, the triggers simply enhance the sound of the kicks to help them cut through the mix. As when you're playing at these speeds it's VERY difficult to have a clean attack and loud volume on the kicks.

Spencer Prewett made a statement once about triggers, “it doesn’t mean you hit the drum any less quickly than you did” (paraphrasing) but that nails it imo.

I love this dude. He is a fucking monster!

His posture and technique is so effortless fn beast!!

Insane drumming. You should reacto to Dan Presland of Ne Obliviscaris!!

"our NAT is set to moderate" very clever haha

this video was captured at our music school located in deutschlandsberg^^ thats why so many chairs are around

Would love to see some commentary on Kevin Paradis and Ken Bedene.

Gotta say, I like that you explain why something sounds real and when it's not. As someone who can't play anything for shit, it's ace to hear and have it explained what the differences are.

so funny to speed up the video when craig plays the song at 0.5, so the song sounds at normal speed but he sounds faster

Someone thought this was fake? I think I'm done with life if I'm surrounded by people like that. And, the subject of triggers is crazy that "drummers" still don't understand them.

I can confirm this is real, since I played with him in our youth :) when he was 16 we used to cover some Slipknot songs and he could play it all - but even way better than Joey!

I can confirm he pulls stuff like that off and it doesn’t sound like shit live. Had the luck to play at a small festival where one of his bands headlined.

How tf haven't you reacted to Anthony Barone yet??

of course the bass is triggered, that's like a staple of this style

Yes depending on the speed they wouldn’t sound anything like they do once they’ve been triggered (which happens on 99% of heavy recordings, AFTER tracking) No shade, it’s simply how it’s done

Just noticed he's wearing a Dredg shirt. RESPEK! Dino C. is such a crazy hard hitting drummer

Please do a Der Weg einer Freiheit Reaction. That drummer is soo sick live

Well regarding what you said about "there is no way you can play like this guy and play any other way", he also has a Dave Weckl cover on his channel of Tiempo de Festival. So playing like him doesn't limit you much apparently 🤣

My favorite extreme metal drummer is krimh, that guy is fast but he handicaps himself because he hits everything so fucking hard every time, feet and hands. Its so satisfying to watch

Think this guy needs more cymbals

Just wait till he sees joey jordison

I mean....I just came for the Type O tee honestly.

This guy has same video only DRUM AUDIO version, also you should check george kollias stuff (the guy that composed that song, Nile drummmer)

Anyone got a link to the vid?

I've been practicing like him for over a year and yeah I'm nowhere close, been playing drums well over 20 years. I will tell everyone if I achieve it and how long it took me, the hardest part at least to me is getting the rolls even even maybe for a second or two but it falls apart fast and I can't do it when I want to, its freaking hard, oh and I practice around 4 hours a day everyday if not more to the point where I can barely use my hands and have to take a day or 3 to recuperate even then I try to practice for at least a few minutes, it sucks cause some days it feels like I'm going backwards.

Love what you said about double strokes. It’s such a lame ass way to get those speeds. David is an example of someone who worked his ass off to be able to okay it with real single strokes, and single strokes with power at that. David is one of the best out there! Period.

As someone with a dredg tattoo...I can tell he's clearly got fantastic taste.

yah David is a force to be recon with he is the real deal

Not sure why people hate on doubles on the kick so much. At 280bpm even doubles on the kick are hard to get sounding good all time like this guy. He also switches between singles and doubles on the bass, and pushes on his blasts. This dude is the real deal it's actually insane.

Dont know the drummer or band, but I 100% doubt theres any quantizing. Probably some compression and stuff to make everything sound fuller but this is real for sure.
