Love how dynamic the whole song is. Gotta give props to David for how he came up with the parts and putting them together into this marvelous piece.

I mentioned this also. He has developed into an exceptional song writer and I anxiously await each new composition. His drum parts in COGNIZANCE are extraordinary.

dynamic in what way? talking dynamics is usually about the loudness/softness of parts and/or instruments played. This is pretty much 100% all the time so it's not very "dynamic" but rather quite the opposite, at least in the usual sense of the word

@@Skepsis710 Sebastian is definitely a better fit drummer for Obscura but I don’t mind David doing an album cause then I might actually have a hope in hell of playing an obscura track one day XD. Will Sebastian return in future albums or is David the permanent drummer now? Not trying to rag on David either I love his work in both Obscura and Cognizance and he’s a top 5 for me.

Just incredible!!!!

I would not comment on his technique because it is flawless for quite sometime now, BUT I would like to say that drums are written SO DAMN GOOD!!! You play the melodies with guitars, and keep blasting the shit out of drums, which is something incredible! This is what I call drumming and this is what music is about! Cymbals follow the main riff, toms follow guitar swipes, everything is ON POINT! Bravo sir, you've outdone yourself!

I cant express the perfection in his playing it simply is unmatched

Wow... as usual. We'll be in touch in a few days ;)

Well it was worth the wait

David has gotta be the most relaxed extreme player I’ve ever seen. He looks so comfortable, what a pro!

Worthy successor to the Obscura drummer's chair! Great parts, too.

Man you and Alex Rudinger take the cake for combining rhythmically complex songs with blistering pace. Both of you are so clean and uniquely different but equally talented. You both make playing this kind of stuff look relaxing.

i would just say that David has a better technique. Alex is leaning his neck quite heavily forward during double kick parts and reaching cymbals almost behind him at the same time. OUCH i get hurt watching Alex but not David. David seems also less tired, more stamina.

I’m a simple man. I see David uploads a video, I like. I even grew a mustache cuz of this man. Haha

that fill at 1:28....sooo good

hats off to mr. diepold's videographer - consistently dynamic shots that are very much appreciated.

I cant tell which I'm more envious of; Dave's drumming, or how well he can pull off them JORTS

Obscura has never had anything close to an unworthy drummer, but now we are graced with a fellow that brings the spirit of Saint Bobby Jarzombek to the holiest of the metals. The gods do smile their favor upon us these days.

im not a drummer, but i love drumming that mixes tech and groove seamlessly, David is crushing it with Obscura!

2:45 great part !!!

Any drummer who wants a visual refresh of near-flawless core stabilization and limb control, watch THIS. Insanely underrated.

Never heard of this band...never heard of this drummer..watched it three times in a row and taking it all in...amazing...love it....am blown away..thank you. Dude,you are off the hook

I like the fact that he has lots of gear, but you can still see him playing. Everything is spaced and placed perfectly.

Technical Metal without "singing" is on of the best music-genres ever!

Incredible playing as always David! I love this song and your drumming is FLAWLESS!! Such tasteful parts and epic fills!

It's awesome that you're a part of Obscura now!!

I’ve gotta send this to my brother! We love David!!

Love the cymbal accents! Great tone matching the guitars.

Yeah this new album and David’s drumming on it is beyond rad.. great addition to Obscura.

Nothing like getting in that zone where the drum(s) are like a part of your mind and body.

I'm so glad you still make videos. I've been watching you for years. Love it!

Perfect solid drums! Congrats for the great performance in A Valediction. One of the best records of the year 👏🏻

Man this drumming fits perfectly into this song,I'm blown away🤯

Dude's incredible.. he's so calm yet so powerful..🤘

This is amazing!!! Always get amped when I see that you’ve uploaded. Such an incredible drummer!!

So clean, so crisp... love the rides. SUPERB

The double ride bells was beautiful, love when drummers do that

one of the worlds best drummers. best technique. best clean drumming. best speed. best groooooove. best song witing. i like.

Art in its heaviest form!

Ok boys and girls, one of the best drummers there is, plain and simple!

to me... perfection in all aspect as always and great nostalgic riffs

David this is soooooo sick.

Incredible technique and precision. The cymbal work in this song is brilliant. Banger of a song too. \m/

I love how easy you make it look. I know for a fact I would look funny trying to repeat this. Skills of a drummer entity.

The cleanliness and technical proficiency on display here is jaw dropping. Diepold is a machine! I like how he's wearing a Slayer shirt, as if to make a point that high precision isn't always important in music. I think we can all appreciate it in Dave's work with Obscura, though :-)

I love the mix between progressive metal & speed metal in this song

@frelopermanboy7426

2 жыл бұрын

eh, barely progressive metal at all. Whole band’s genre changed when Sebastian left.

Wow!!! The dynamics here are utterly astounding... as well as the skill. 1st video I have seen of his but I am supremely impressed. Not usually a fan of this super fast newer metal drumming because becomes like a droning noise to me. He breaks it up so perfectly. Its not overkill and I enjoy the super fast parts so much more when its broken up. Dude's a genius drummer.

this dude's precision and accuracy are insane!

I'm convinced you're a cybernetic organism... living tissue over metal endo skeleton. You kill it every time David. Cheers!

One of the more memorable songs on the new album! Good drumming, man.

Imagine being an absolute beast of a drummer who can play literally anything.... Now imagine being able to do that in Jorts....

The riffs remind me a lot of earlier in flames stuff. Which is to say, they're awesome :)

Awesome fills. So perfect, too perfect!

I love the vibe of this song! 🔥🔥🤘🤘🔥🔥

Yeah David your playing just gives me goosebumbs your dbl bass playing is beyond a MN asking I hope you come to Portland Oregon I'd definetly wanna see you live thanks for all the videos you've shared you the man

Not only is this a great drum playthrough, but a great backing track for vocal coverers!

Masterpiece. A clearly brilliant musician using his instrument with vigor and ambition. The double sided ride cymbal isn't out of necessity like perhaps Hoglan's (southpaw) but out of fruition. Cool, calm and collected the whole time. Perfect posture and astounding technique. I'm pretty sure I saw push/pull in there on the snare, which in this man's hand's is utter brutality. 10 out 10. If you ever read this David, thank you.

been a big fan of your playing ever since you uploaded The Inevitable Degradation of Flesh drum cover. Crazy to see how far you've come

This is classic music in a new form.David you are the master at this genre and i guess and to many others!That thing i love to your playing is that you have amazing musicallity something difficult to give in a so much technical drumming part.Yes your playing is perfect but with great feeling the same time!!Very important combination

so proud of you, david

I love the old soilwork vibes in this

David, you're becoming one of my favorite drummers in metal. Your work on both the latest Cognizance and Obscura albums is fantastic. Also, would be cool to see Christian do a guitar playthrough of this song, as it features some of his best lead work to date.

Man I love this guy's drumming

BEYOOOOND THE STAAAAARRRS awesome drum parts man

this is up my valley!! so much melody, groove and tech ... it's unbelievable
