Agree, but to be honest they are one of the most underrated bands in general, the fact the video for this song only has 87k views is quite frankly disgusting.
This is like a perfect subtle showcase of expertise without too much flex: Incredible Groove ✅ Sense of pacing ✅ Feeling for softer passages ✅ Ability to keep VERY weird time signatures ✅ Blast beats ✅ Extremely fast but precise double bass ✅ Constantly flicking the switch on the snare drum many times during one song ✅ Understanding and enhancing the composition ✅ Really, this video made me appreciate drumming a ton more than before.
In my most humble opinion Paul stands among the greatest such as Portnoy, Danny Carey and Neil Peart. Though they are absolute drum gods, this song is, as far as I'm concerned, the perfect example of Paul's intelligence when writing drum parts for The Ocean. I reckon this is the most clever track he ever wrote because not only it is technically spotless, musically very smart, progressive and complex, but flows absolutely flawlessly with all the other elements of the song, highlighting and accentuating them while also maintaining a very distinct personality and strong poignancy. I love you Paul, hope one day you'll be recognized by the wide public as one of the best, together with the rest of the band.
His writing abilities do for sure help him stand out. He’s better than Carey and Peart imo. Also Rudinger is technically the best to walk the earth...ever (once again this is all opinion based obviously) and if you haven’t got to check out Chris turner you should
I've just recently got into the ocean and even more recently this song. I immediately said to myself that this song is their Lateralus. It's not too long, and just keeps building and building. This song is immediately one of the best songs I've ever heard.
One of the best live drum performances you’ll see. Incredible. I took my wife to see Karnivool in Bristol, UK, a few years back and told her she’d love The Ocean. She had no clue what I was on about. She now loves The Ocean.
The thing that impresses me most about this is the actual drum part. To create such an emotional and fitting drum part to such a long and winding song is really special... every note feels like it is in the 'right' spot. This song wouldn't be the same with a different drum part and as it stands, it is one of my favorite progressive metal epics I've ever heard (and I've heard hundreds of 'em 😉)! Oh, and the groove he starts playing around 7 minutes in and continues through Renske's part... gets me moving my head every time. 👍
I was going to put this on the background while doing something else, but I ended up watching the whole thing without realizing it. His playing is hypnotizing.
I saw them live in Canberra last night and they finished the show with this track. I was lucky enough to be at the front and see the boys perform in all their glory, just incredible 🤘
Album of 2020 for me. Also drum play-through of 2020. Absolutely stunning - lost count of how many times I've both listened to the album and played this vid...
Been watching this video for a year now and I just noticed his shirt has one long and one short sleeve. That’s how mesmerised I was by these sick licks!
Didn’t realize he was still playing. WFAHM is still one of my favorites thanks to his drumming. Glad to see he’s still active. He is immensely underrated.
Fantastic playing and production, holy crap that mix is awesome. I really dig the camera work but I still would like to see his footwork, the double bass drumming in the final part is awesome
Donner à ce mec a reconnaissance qu'il mérite... c'est un monstre, il excelle dans ce groupe... impressionnant! Et ce son qu'il a ! Magnifique ! Give To this guys all the fame and recognition he deserves or that he should have ! For suuuure... it's a Killer ! Love this band since their beggining... awesome...
Paul is an absolute powerhouse, smooth and powerful all at once. Tragically underrated, but drummers who know, know about this player. Great tone ,as usual, and such crisp cymbal sound. Love those vented Meinls. One of the drummers who has inspired my playing for sure. Have met him several times and he was such a chill and humble human being. Keep banging brother!!! 👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼🤘🏼
I don’t watch a lot of drum play throughs but the drum track on this song is just so mind boggling I had to see a human actually play it. Unreal. This has to be one of the best prog metal song of the decade.
I’m looking forward to this record! I’m currently listening to Precambrian (I started with Heliocentric and Anthropocentric) as I am a relatively new fan of this band. This drummer is already in my top 15 drummers. His playing is really smooth and clean, I fucking love it! 👍🏽🤘🏽💀
JUST found this band from the Key of Geebz reaction. First and only song of theirs I've heard, and I immediately clicked on this vid. As a newb to this band, which album is best to start the journey?
@@Dwendele I know I answer late, but if you didn't listen to everything already I would recommend starting with Precambrian (preferably the second disc), and then to continue with Phanerozoic I and Phanerozoic II. These 3 albums are actually one concept album, and Precambrian is (imo) the best post metal record ever made. The thing with this band is that they used to change their line up almost every album, so they're all very different. I would say give a listen to all of them if you have time, since they're an entirely different experience everytime and they're all great (just don't start with Aeolian, Fluxion or Heliocentric, they're slightly less good).
This is enough to put me back on the kit and break off the rust. I was a beast at one time but I know I could achieve this song if I try hard enough. This is a fucking masterpiece!
I've seen Paul playing a few times back in the days. Most times with "War from a Harlots Mouth", I think in Cottbus, Berlin and Karlsruhe and luckily once in Potsdam in this constellation. And this track is literally blowing me away. Keep it up 👍

me: in tears, about to stand up and applaud
Paul Siedel: bro we still got like 7 minutes of song
I feel you. I keep coming back to this song and I am in awe every time.
The ocean: oh its still first song in album bro, 1pt of album...
Even the trees are headbanging outside through the window
One of the most underrated drummers in the world. What a beast.
Totally agree, this is just monstrous 👍🔥
And how he just pulls them blast beats out of his joints being relaxed as if it was yoga practice :D.
And he did it all while being a "healthy" 160 lbs.....just kidding.
and he also sings some of the backing vocals on top of that

9:37 Whoa!!! 😮😮😮😮
Can we all just take a minute to appreciate how smooth that transition from snares off to snares on was?!?
I know right? I setup a second snare with the snares off just to avoid the transition.
One of my favorite parts of the song
When ?

This is how drum playthroughs should be
Check out the Danny Carey video of him playing Pneuma......equally as impressive
Neil M Well that’s Danny Carey. Everyone in prog knows he’s the drum god.
exactly. lot of drummers just put it out as if they are releasing a remaster of the original track.
Paul Seidel is godlike, what an amazing performance.

Don't forget Baard Kolstad...
@@joespicoli6361 I have to agree with you about Rudinger, dude is fucking insane
Check out Gavin Harrison. There's some drum cam vids on here from his Porcupine Tree days. Another amazing, musical drummer!

Strong wind outside adds to the atmosphere

I took my wife to see Karnivool in Bristol, UK, a few years back and told her she’d love The Ocean. She had no clue what I was on about.
She now loves The Ocean.
One of my favorites drum lines of Metal
Drums have always been REALLY good on The Ocean albums, but Paul has taken it to a whole new level of epicness the last few years!!
Holy shit, clearly Robin wasn't kidding when he said he had to "pace the racehorses" for the first record, dude went OFF in the latter half.
Drumming on Permian though 0_0
I dig the artistic shots of cameraman camra-ing.

What I wouldn't give to hear this mix in full definition.
This is so satisfying to watch.
Why did I get tears watching this? Absolutely blown away by this drumming. What an emotional roller coaster this song is for me.
I love how it's stormy out.
Ocean, please never get rid of this guy!
I really hope that snare is consenting to everything thats being done to it. That tone is insane.
I have never seen anyone play blast beats so casually. This man is like the perfect mix of musician, monster and machine.
you should also check out Tobias Schuler from Der Weg Einer Freiheit ;-)
@@Failhaid Mein Gott! Consider me Schuled.
I saw them live in Canberra last night and they finished the show with this track. I was lucky enough to be at the front and see the boys perform in all their glory, just incredible 🤘
when Paul wear that long right sleeve you know already things going serious
Album of 2020 for me. Also drum play-through of 2020.
Absolutely stunning - lost count of how many times I've both listened to the album and played this vid...
Absolutely agree
Daaaaaayum that's a spicy groove when Jonas comes in!
I could watch Paul play drums all freaking day long. Dude has serious chops.
There are a few videos on You Tube I wish I could click on like every time I watch them again. This one is definitely one of them.
It's about time Paul gets his own drum vid production.
He's so accurate, he makes it look so easy.. but one can spend a lifetime on drums and not come even close
I watch this over and over and over
Been watching this video for a year now and I just noticed his shirt has one long and one short sleeve. That’s how mesmerised I was by these sick licks!
This have to be one of the most epic prog-metal songs! The underlying rawness of the expressions in all instruments and vocals gets me every time 🤘
I couldn’t play this song on drums, at least not all 13 minutes of it, and especially not all in one take. Paul here is incredibly impressive.
Hey what do you know, a fellow starset fan
One of the best drum lines of the recent Metal
Top 5 drum playthroughs on YT
Beautiful sound, beautiful vídeo. I'm fan. Viva The Océan 🤘
I dont know why is this not their Official video, also I've watched this over a dozen time and cant get enough of it :)

I am not a drummer but during this song I was smiling all the time, so many weird signature beats and so on... cool af
holy shit. master class.
J'adore ce morceau, quel plaisir d'avoir la drumcover!! 👍👍
Большое Спасибо Вам за Информацию🥁!!!= 🤝=!!!
so smooth, one of the best drummers on the planet, love the hollow sound he gets with his snare, it sounds almost like a tom
This is a drumming masterpiece

Amazing, inventive, subtle drummer and amazing song. What a journey!
Superb drum playing
And still we come back for more
This dude is an absolute monster. Also a wonderful human being if you've ever spoken to him. What an inspiration !

incredible musically and technically, the drums sounds amazing

That melody all the way to the ending minutes of the song is just a masterpiece. Oh my god.
Absolute machine, with human creativity.
What an amazing drummer
So underrated!!
9:30 to the end is insane. Love the intensity this song builds up to!
One of the most supportive drumwrightings ever heard. Paul Seidel ist ein Held
1:37 - wind behind the window match perfectly..
He's so amazing 🥰😍💜
This is like a resume to any drum job in the rock/metal genre moving forward.
That was nothing but a brilliant display of drumming.
Love his choice in cymbals. They sound so well together
Chris Edrich is an audio wizard!
Awww thanks! 🖤

Please note that Paul joined the band with the Phanerozoic record. Precambrian, the helio-anthropocentric records and Pelagial had other drummers.

Prehistory metal fucking smashes
This is enough to put me back on the kit and break off the rust. I was a beast at one time but I know I could achieve this song if I try hard enough. This is a fucking masterpiece!
I mean how can he remember exactly what he played in studio ? This is 13 min long and complex as F*ck, he's a beast
These guys just keep getting better. This boys a beast! Can’t wait for the new album!
This drumkit sounds just perfect!
So nicely played.
I've seen Paul playing a few times back in the days. Most times with "War from a Harlots Mouth", I think in Cottbus, Berlin and Karlsruhe and luckily once in Potsdam in this constellation.
And this track is literally blowing me away. Keep it up 👍
The last 4 minutes are just insane, those blast beats are so well placed. Literally a dinosaur of a track!
Great song. Great drummer. Great production value and style on the vid. A++ Would recommend.
This is I think the best 13 minutes of drumming I have ever seen. No exaggeration.
I dont get why anyone would dislike this :0 like maybe you don't like the genre but the drumming is just objectively amazing
Pure beat poetry
Those blast beat intervals!
it's like the song is better when you watch him playing
Man, I can't wait for the new album.
An absolut masterclass ! Whaou, awesome, wunderbar in German, exceptionnel in French !
Amazing playthrough. Love the new album. This is perhaps my favorite track from the album, and the drums are a huge part of the reason for that.
this was the best thing i saw this year on youtube.
Great drumming style and technique! Super smooth and relaxed but at the same time powerful.
Incredible! Completely addicted to this song 💜
What a fantastic song! ❤️
Thanks to the Ocean for this Kind of music! Paul is a outstanding drummer💪🏻
My hype levels for this album keep rising! This song is one of their best and I have a feeling the album will be their best, too.
Holy god that sounds good.
Please do more if yall can, these are amazing!
Cool Band. Cool drummer!
This here is fcuking perfect!
