Ha! I'm a big fan of yours. I saw this video months ago and I immediately thought "wow, i wonder if Aquiles Priester took inspiration from this guy". And now I see this comment. Awsome!
I first heard Deen play in his garage when he was 17 or 18 in Salem Oregon. It was obvious that he was destined for great things. He was a real nice guy as well. I never knew that he could sing. Unbelievable! Best wishes for Deen wherever his path takes him.
@L_ A_ Yeah Gene cites Deen as an influence many times, especially how his playing on Dragon's Kiss influenced him in Death's Symbolic album. His style on Individual Thought Patterns was mainly inspired by Steve Gadd, though.
As a dude who played for 20 years I can say this is exceptional drumming. He's got amazing command of the drums and is right on the front edge to a tee. Great drummer.
@@666aftershave yes he did and was AWESOME !!!! the hardest song to sing and play too in my experience, and Deen knocks it out of the ball park. I hear in the rumor dept that Deen is taking over as LEAD SINGER for JOURNEY in 2019
Deen was ahead of most with his double bass drumming I remember a friend turning me on to Wild Dogs Reign Of Terror Blew me away at that time I never heard speed like that he played on a lot of albums for Mike Varney and Shrapnel Record's back in the day
Not the actual recording sessions, though. This is Castronovo's instructional VHS from around 1990. He was playing along with the original tracks, but the album had already come out earlier.
Hell if u think he’s a great drummer which he is.... You ought to hear him sing , your fucking jaw will hit the ground! Watch Journey - Mother, Father with Deen singing
Hey, I’m the one that directed and edited the video for Shrapnel Records at the time. We used three Sony three tube cameras and recorded on three-quarter inch umatic video tape. We shot it at Prairie Sun recording studios in Cotati California. I just digitized camera one, the entire session… I’ll upload some more clips.😎🎥 Thanks for checking it out!
@@VirtualLiveShow Wow! That's amazing! Would love to talk to you about that shoot someday. Anymore of this raw footage would be great to see. Thank you for taking the time!
Man, this guy did things in the 80's , he was so far beyond all drummers at that time, timeless brilliant drumming. DEEN CASTRONOVO IS THE BEST OF ALL METALDRUMMERS
Yep and I’m the one that produced the video, he was so cool there before he lost his mind on drugs, but he recovered and he’s back on top again and man that guy can sing as well as being a phenomenal drummer and doing them both at the same time… thanks for your comment. Hope you have a fantastic day!

This is the real master! The only one! ;)

Assistindo esse video, parece que estou vendo o Aquiles tocar.
Totalmente o Aquiles tocando hahahaha! That's crazy how this guy did influences on you, Aquiles!
O sujo , falando do mal lavado kk
Chega a ser engraçada a influência gritante do Deen na forma do Aquiles tocar
He's not just a Great drummer, He also got pipes as a vocalist... One of my idols in rock drumming, Thanks Deen!
Closest to steve perry...
This guy is a prodigy. He can sing and play complex lines on the drums at the same time.
I've always been amazed by Deen's drumming abilities, but when he opened his mouth to sing is when my jaw dropped...this guy ...so gifted!
Exactly, Deen is the MAN!
zapp99 really!? I didn’t know! Any link!?
@@dftns
Check it out "Deen Castronovo - Faithfully"
That was my feeling as well. Unbelievable.
I first heard Deen play in his garage when he was 17 or 18 in Salem Oregon. It was obvious that he was destined for great things. He was a real nice guy as well. I never knew that he could sing. Unbelievable! Best wishes for Deen wherever his path takes him.
Holy smokes!!! He’s not just another skin basher!!!
Incredible!!!!
…..and that voice!!!!
Amazingly blessed individual!!!!!
Man!! Aquiles Priester is the real disciple of this Drummer! Even the "Ride playing" is the same!
yah there are similarities
Damn right man!
Ele nunca escondeu q castronovo é uma das maiores influencias dele
@L_ A_ Yeah Gene cites Deen as an influence many times, especially how his playing on Dragon's Kiss influenced him in Death's Symbolic album. His style on Individual Thought Patterns was mainly inspired by Steve Gadd, though.
Priester couldn't hold Castronovos sack!
As a dude who played for 20 years I can say this is exceptional drumming. He's got amazing command of the drums and is right on the front edge to a tee. Great drummer.
I saw Deen with Journey in april 2, 2011, he's absolutely incredible drummer, and amazing singer too!
roberto soto he sing mother, father?
@@666aftershave yes he did and was AWESOME !!!! the hardest song to sing and play too in my experience, and Deen knocks it out of the ball park. I hear in the rumor dept that Deen is taking over as LEAD SINGER for JOURNEY in 2019
Dude....love Deen...he gives some fresh air to heavy drumming.
Deen´s GZR recordgins are awesome. Very creative drumming.
Deen was ahead of most with his double bass drumming I remember a friend turning me on to Wild Dogs Reign Of Terror
Blew me away at that time I never heard speed like that he played on a lot of albums for Mike Varney and Shrapnel Record's back in the day
i love this drum pattern....the cadence the drive...and extreme talent too !
He's definitely one of my all time heroes!!
One of my all time w drummer from the 90s
From the 90s....WAY BEFORE THAT AND STILL ...Now with the Dead Daisies.
I first heard of Deen in the band Wild Dogs back in the late 80's. On the Reign of Terror album his drumming is insane!
Love this video so much. What a beast.
Is from Joey Tafolla infra blue album
Amazing...just amazing!
Most impressive, he played on a geezer Butler record, some of the best drumming I’ve ever heard
Would love to hear him in Dream Theater.
I think you have because Portnoy surely took a few of those riffs into use. The hi-hat bit seemed familiar.
In fact it seems like they ripped the main riff off this song too, in Liquid Tension Experiment song 'Paradigm Shift'
he's good but not that good.
@@stevejpm1 Dean is badder than this! This is just his warm up
I watched this video when I was a children! Amazing drummer
such an organic sound! perfection!
Wow, Very cool. thanks for sharing.
Joey Taffolla.......what great albums. Dean is amazing.
That’s some solid drumming. What a talent
Hands down no one has control like this guy's got it's truly remarkable
thanks to deen castronovo and this VHS hahahaha i learned some sick double bass performance
recording joey tafolla , infrablue albun , very good album , great guitars and drummer
Great bass soloing from John Onder too!
...and sing like angels
its record sessions for joey tafolla's album . can recognize the drums and guitar playing from million miles.
eran iusepol it took me a couple of minutes. But I heard tafolla only once.
Have you ever heard Tony MacAlpine's 'Maximum Security' album? Deen plays drums on half of the tracks there and is, of course, extraordinary.
artiegohome I think he played on multiple shrapnel/roadrunner albums
Interesting Things Thanks for the recommendations!
Not the actual recording sessions, though. This is Castronovo's instructional VHS from around 1990. He was playing along with the original tracks, but the album had already come out earlier.
Damn, I've never heard of this guy. Amazing!
Amazing drumming !!
Dead Daisies currently, Revolution Saints, Journey, OZZY, Bad English, Hardline, Dream Theatre et.al.
Vendo em 2021 e continua incrível

Deeno is am amazing drummer!!! i love his style
Great drummer, beautiful singer!!😎👍
Yes sir, and I had the pleasure of producing his video for Shrapnel Records back in the day - high-performance drumming!
Title: Crankenstien from Tafolla's 2nd album "Infra Blue" (1991). Amazing work!
Dude you are just severe love the fusion
Que som de caixa incrivel!!!!

Just discovered him, yes he is a very great versatile drummer
Hell if u think he’s a great drummer which he is.... You ought to hear him sing , your fucking jaw will hit the ground! Watch Journey - Mother, Father with Deen singing
@@andydavis2881 did not find the song "fucking jaw to the ground " but was amazed at Mother Father. As I'm a singer too, I recognize this talent :-)
Best metal drummer EVER!
03/2019 groover super atual! forte, melódico e preciso

Suona come un pazzo su tutto l'album!!!
🤙🤙🤙
I want that ride cymbal
Supercool drumming
Sick man he rocks!
Oh, what ijust found here..... This drumming school i have still on videotape, its like year 1998 or so....
I am glad you stayed with drums and singing. Nice job Dean.
His drumming with geezer butler is some of the best I’ve ever heard truly amazing
GZR plastic planet..... play Drive boy shooting..... amazing permformance
I went to school with Deeno.. Whiteaker Jr High in Keizer Oregon
He had some big inspiration on me too
Discovered this guy recently listening to Ozzmosis and had to find out who the drummer was. Amazing drummer!
Can we all give a shout out to that snare drum for taking a Mike Tyson level pounding!!! Holy shit that was incredible
Great double bass rock
Se o Aquiles chama o cara de mestre pode crer que o cara é alto nível
Brilliant.
Jeff Brockman did fantastic job as director!
I had the instructional video this came from back in the day. It was my bible.
So cool. I'll upload some more footage from behind the scenes!
That was was Clean and Crisp
Animal! He's such a bad ass! 👍
Forbidden city drum playthrough!!
02:42 Dude!!!!!!! fuck yeah!!!! amazing!
Love the stuff he did with Jason Becker on "Perpetual burn"
I don't think that was him (Atma Anur maybe), but I know he played on Marty Friedman's Dragon's Kiss.
@@23ograin53 You're absolutely right. I was thinking of the cacophony album "Go off"
Incredible!.....
Hes up there as a musician on par with the likes of Prince, Ted Kirkpatrick, Phil Collins etc
can you upload more videos from this vhs please
Thanks! Great!
The unmistakable sound of Joey Tafolla.
very under rated drummer!
I will be posting more from that session! Thank you!
INSANE
is his son roman castronovo?
wow!
Just curious, is that Steve Vai on the backing track?
100 % no mistakes 👍
Why have I never heard of this guy!
Watch Journey through time on TH-cam
@@jarrodbrown4465 sure thing
Shrapnel Records my dude. Played on so many guitar players albums of the 80s and 90s.
Thank you for posting this! How/where did you get this raw camera footage? Thanks again!

Foda demais!!!
Wow!!!
It would be a SIN if he does not play again.with a good line up.HAMMA DOWN DEEN..AWESOME
Right on!!!!
Wau
Fucking great.
Bad ass!
what a beast!
"...directed by Jeff Brockman"? This video actually had a director?
What time signature? I'm struggling with this one.
Seems I have heard the name 'Castronovo' in drumming... but, the given name was not 'Deen.'
Kyle, His son. Played once with Journey on Separate ways. He nailed it!
His son kyle plays in wednesday 13
Wow.!
Man, this guy did things in the 80's , he was so far beyond all drummers at that time, timeless brilliant drumming. DEEN CASTRONOVO IS THE BEST OF ALL METALDRUMMERS
Yeah man and I produced his video for Shrapnel Records high-performance drumming back in the day!
2:20 🤘
What is the name of the song at 1:15??
Pipi no popo de quem perguntou 😂😂😂
You have the full clínic?
Pre Jail solo?
Yep and I’m the one that produced the video, he was so cool there before he lost his mind on drugs, but he recovered and he’s back on top again and man that guy can sing as well as being a phenomenal drummer and doing them both at the same time… thanks for your comment.
