I've been following you for 6 years now, and this doesn't come as a surprise, your technique and punch to the drums is absolutely unique. I, sincerely hope the guys from Obscura give you total freedom to write your own parts, please, give this band a whole new atittude and take it to the next level! My best whishes David! Cheers from Colombia.

Big congrats on joining Obscura, man. That's really cool. I'd love to know how you get on with learning Sebastian's drum parts. Some of them sound really hard.

Sebastian's parts are on point, and that's it, he just played his roll in the band, nothing more than that. He's probably a really really good composer, but I'm pretty sure he was limited by Stephen. This right here was written by Hannes Grossman himself, which makes it the hardest part when it comes to play Obscura. I mean, we are talking about a guy that comes from Necrophagist, Alkaloid, Blotted Science and much much more. That should be the right question. How are you dealing with Grossman's parts? Absolutely, no offense and no discredit to Lanser, he did an amazing job, great beats, super clean and tight, but you gotta admit there is a huge sound gap in the drums amongst Dilivium or Akroasis and the old classics that put Obscura on the map, like Cosmogenesis or the amazing Omnivium. Just my opinion though.

@@fractalized3 I love both drummers,but personaly if i had to cover one if them it would be Hanns, because shit sebastian's druming is so "all over the place" and unpredictable that makes it ways harder (in the positive way). I personaly prefer Sebastian but i give the win to Hans when it comes to stamina and speed and keeping up with such, something that im sure the new drumer can keep up

@@jordan.na.dzielni My man, i totally get it, and as I said, i do respect his work, he's an amazing player, and I'm probably being nostalgic about this. I just never digged Sebastian's drums that much, but you can totally note the diference when it comes to punch and weird shit, although, Sebastian has some really really difficult stuff, very complex structures. But, dude... Come on, Septuagint is a good example of what I'm trying to explain here. Maybe is just how they have mixed their albums through the years, or the riffs now are a little bit more chilled ot smth idk, I'm just saying SOMEONE, didn't let Sebastian Lanser show his full potential (Think about it, you have a band, and suddenly, the fucking 75% of the band quits to form another project, including the drummer, dude, something is definitely wrong there), and Grossman's drums are a fist in da face.

@@MrSoty12345 I think you explained my point much better than i did hahahaha But that is basically it, and i totally understand that "all over the place" reference. That's the same shit i thought when i heard Diluvium. NOT BAD! I'm not saying it was bad, I mean, you could never get bored or have enough out of this guys, Am i right? BUT, for a band such as Obscura, imo they need someone with full stamina and straight tight drums like Grossman did. OR in this case, like David Diepold who has an incredible technique and his second fucking last name should be "Stamina"

You deserve this and then some, man. Happy for ya! :)

Following you since so many years...i'm so glad, so proud, it's damn time you got a well-deserved gig! So much commitment, so much work, so much talent, you're the man! BRAVO!

I absolutley love Obscura and im so glad to see you play drums again as your one of my biggest influences

Dude i screamed when i read that you were going to play with obscura, congrats man! Love ur work and ur drumming ♥

Gl with joining Obscura, i've been following you for 5 years or so, and i've been wondering why some of the major metal bands havent signed u up yet. You are one of the best drummers i've ever seen, so damn thight , and it all looks so easy for you , well gl and keep up the solid work!

Damn, that would make Obscura some kind of an ultimate metal band. Groove, precision, catchy yet musically incomprehensible riffs, wild speed, confidence and lots of different emotions attached. Clicked the replay button.

Dude just blasts through with one foot 🔥

When Sebastian left, there will be a huge shoes to fill. But, my mind was blowin' up when realized you'll be the new drummer. You're such a beast! 🤘👹

One of my favorite playthroughs that you've posted. The mix on the kit is so wonderful. Of course, top tier execution.

Man, you and Jeroen Paul Thesseling...what a rhythm section! Can't wait to hear what comes from the next album, and massive congrats!

Man...we are pretty sure this new lineup will kick ass! This new line up is also very talented and will work very well. Our best wishes for you & the band, cheers from Colombia. ☄️BBLST

And congrats on the obscura gig! I can't wait for the next one with you and jpt!!!

HOLY SHIT!!! 6 years later and I'm seeing you join Obscura :::DDDD how damn sick! So stoked for you David!

So glad for you! My best wishes! You are an inspiration. Keep humble as usual.

Congratulations! Always loved your drumming, bringing this to Obscura are just awesome news!

F yeah!!! I don't even remember how long I've been following David for now, but just remember watching all of his videos in awe of how amazing he is! 🤘😆

Man, watching u playing is always breath taking!!! Perfect performance!!

The most effortless blast beat I've ever seen!

Dude your push-pull technique on your left hand is basically flawless. Great work!

One of my most favorite drummer, joins one of my most favorite band, covers one of my most favorite Prog Death song ever! Can this day get any better? Congratulations David you fucking deserved this! Can't wait to see you live and write new material with Obscura too! Hails!!

Geeeeez.. You make that push-pull blast look soooo effortless.

Excited about you joining Obscura too! Have followed you for a while now and you're an amazing drummer.

One monster leaves and another enters! Awesome!!! Congratulations and greetings from Argentina, I hope to see you sometime.

PARABÉNS! O OBSCURA FEZ UMA EXCELENTE ESCOLHA !!

Mejor noticia del 2020!! Eres una bestia broth, te lo mereces!! Felicitaciones y saludos desde Chile 🇨🇱

You finally made it to the big leagues, you absolute madlad. So proud of seeing your hard work pay off after all these years of watching you on youtube. I always expected you'd make it into a more brutal/grind kinda band like Cattle Decap or similar, but I know that a band like Obscura has way more space for your creative input. Can't wait to hear what you can create with these guys

Literally stoked for you man! Its amazing and all the more inspiring to see how far you have come. Can't wait for new Obscura material with you on the skins!

man, i love your drum covers and your drummin style, since i found your channel i always wondered why the hell this machine is not in a band, well i dont even know you but im so freaking happy for you, congrats!!!

The God is back!! We missed you dude!! And your one foot playing is out of this world!!! Loved it to the core.

Congrats! Have watched you progress since your Behemoth covers which were flawless and then your cover of Nile "Degradation..." was insane!!!

Been following for a long time, this is big so congrats mate! Can’t wait to see what you have in store for us in the future

Congrats man, well deserved!! You earned that throne! When Sebastian left i was thinking of you as one of the better drummers to fill in. Keep those single foot blasts!!

Oooooooowww.... Clean af and its one of my favourite song. Insane playthrough 🤘🤘

Huge congrats! You deserve everything that comes your way, for the effort you've put into your craft!

Congratulations Man. Awesome Can't wait to hear the new stuff

Oh my god! This is so cool!!!! I've been watching your videos for year and I literally felt happy when i watched this! This is so freaking cool man! Congrats!

Super solid, nice to have you back!

You are now in one of favorite prog death metal bands. Props to you man

Haven't gotten the last couple Obscura records but your covers of songs are really good so I'm on board for the next one. Nice work!

I can’t even imagine the amount of practice hours it would take to get this good.

I never clicked on a YT notification so fast before

Amazing! Beautiful drumming and overall sound!

D! Congratulations my man! Drums sound amazing as always have fun in Obscura! Hope you’ll still post drum videos! Choa!

YYEEEESSSS. You deserve it. congrats. Aweosme video as always

This is great .. hope yo see more videos sun.. amazing work man!!!

YESSSSSSS!!!! Dude, it's about time you got a chance to be part of a band that was THIS high-profile!!!

When Sebastian or Hannes play the drums it feels sooo natural. Yet, I respect your technique.

Perfect combo! And happy continuation to Hannes also!

AWESOME VIDEO AND AWESOME NEWS! CONGRATULATION, BUDDY! YOU ABSOLUTELY DESERVE IT! KEEP BLASTING! STAY HEALTHY, STAY SAFE!👌😁

awesome news !! Congrats for joining Obscura!

SSOO many congratulations dude! You are a phenomenal drummer and I hope it pushed you even further.

Absolutely amazing. Your push and pull is sick as hell \m/

Congrats...been watching you for years...this is awesome

Wow! How cool is that! Congrats David! Greetings!

I'm excited man! Been watching your vids for years and I have to say you will be perfect for that seat. I still go back and watch the Cattle Decapitation cover. Incredible. Don't fuck up your haircut and I'm not really sure how it doesn't ever move. From one drummer to you i have to say thank you!

Congratulations!!! Very happy for you!!!

David, all the best man. Did not expect this. But you surely are more than capable to fill Sebastian’s shoes. Good luck bro.

That snare has the most beautiful poppy sound on single hits and the fluttering blast beats sounds incredibly pristine as well. You're one of the cleanest note for note drummer out there bro, keep it the fuck up David \m/

Oh my, thats going to be great!!! Hannes and Sebastian both are amazing drummers, but I am sure you will kill it! Looking forward to the new stuff :-)

Insane🔥🤘🏿one of the best...i cant wait for new Obscura

Hat damn! 🤘 Awesome! Also that cognizance record was great and glad your back its been awhile.

Oh Shieeet! That's great news man, happy for you! Well deserved!!

Du hast es so derartig verdient, in einer Band wie Obscura zu spielen! Ich verfolge deinen Kanal schon seit mehreren Jahren und jedes Mal, wenn du ein neues Video veröffentlicht hast, war ich kurz davor, meine Sticks an den Nagel zu hängen. Du bist nicht nur die beste Wahl für Obscura, denn jede Band könnte sich glücklich schätzen, dich am Schlagwerk zu haben. Leider konnte ich nicht am Workshop mit Kerim, Martin und dir teilnehmen, denn ich hätte sooooo viele Fragen an dich gehabt. Aber Fleiß zahlt sich nunmal aus und jetzt spielst du in einer Band, die durch dich noch mehr Potential bekommen hat. David, ich wünsche dir alles Gute für die Zukunft und ich bin schon auf zukünftige Releases von Obscura gespannt, wo du deinen Style mit einfließen lassen kannst! Du bist einfach ein Monster hinter den Drums und ich freue mich schon auf wie bis jetzt auch auf zukünftige Videos von dir! Schöne Grüße aus dem Mostviertel, bleib deinem Weg treu und ich hoffe, dich bald live erleben zu können.

hellll yeahhhh as always :) favorite drum channel

Congratulations David! Starting a new era for metal!

Very well done sir. This cover showed a wide range of skills.

Amazing as always! Double like for the WY t-shirt

Congratulations. May you have much success and prosperity.

I started playing in 1979 and, man, how things have changed. I remember the '80s when the coolest kits had nine drums and four or five cymbals. Now, I see these guys playing with five drums and 27 cymbals! ;-)

Congrats on the gig with Obscura! I liked your work with Cognizance.

Finally some good news in 2020. Congrats man you deserve it

Good choice and great performance, a pleasure to watch.

Good job landing the new gig! excited to hear the brutality!

WHAT? i dont know how I missed that! Congrats David, very leiwand 😎😎😎

Had no idea that Sebastian had left Obscura until I read the comments! Very pleased for David! Now we need some more play-through's....

Congratulations! That is some next level skills there! \m/

Yes yes yes!!!!!!!!!!! I am excited for you!! Just like everyone else. Congrats. You are gonna do amazing!!

Awesome news! Love the shirt, too! :)

You're definitely the right man for the job, congrats!

Well deserved and one should say also EARNED. Learn a lot from watching your vids, Obscura is gonna soar with your drumming !!!

Incredible technique and clean playing. Well done

amazing push pull technique! I'm so impress!

Holy crap man, it's about time you got some recognition!! I don't think I've heard a more clean player on youtube tbh, it's a rightfully deserved position my guy. I expect you'll be pushing Obscura to the max my guy \m/

Thats awesome! Congrats my dude

A second foot work Love the 3 rack toms centered and the killer cymbal set up 🤘🏼
