I'm sure that during 1991, some death-metal drummers have abandonned their instrument after listening to the "Human" album... this drumming was so inventive and intense...
But I know he would just blush fiercely to watch g. Hoglan & t. Haake gush about how 19 yr old Sean changed everything for them & inspired them to study & improve after seeing what he did on Human & Cynic's Focus. Hell, he'd be embarrassed that they made a tribute album abt him after he died.
I was 19 when Human came out, and a struggling metal drummer, and while I was good, I wasn't the drummer Sean was, he was brilliant! I think you were probably joking saying he made drummers quit, he inspired me to become better, he showed what was possible, and though it was overwhelming to someone at my skill level it was a goal to strive towards.
To think he was only 19 when he recorded Human and have that level of drumming is something else. I've listened to a lot of rock, metal and even a few electronic bands and no other drummer I've seen I personally think has the same balance of creativity, diversity, aggression and overall technical ability. Chuck may have unfortunately passed away too soon but I'm so happy guys like Steve, Gene. Sean, Richard, Paul among others can still make awesome material.
I keep coming back to these videos and this one specifically. The fills on this are fucking insane. Literslly out of this world. This level of drumming should be every drummers goal. SEAN WAS 20 YEARS OLD. He was still a kid. Think about that. Fucking insane. An actual legend was lost when he died. His work will never be forgotten. Rest In Peace Sean Reinert
Definitely belongs in the discussion, but the second I think about the names "Gene Hoglan" and "Pete Sandoval"... slipping him into the top 5 might be a task. That said... he is a beast, although I like his stuff with Cynic so much better.
@@toddwilliams8128 Um... he is greater than both of them in technique and feel. It all comes down to personal preference in the end, but its telling when people like gene say its EXTREMELY hard to cover sean's songs correctly. He is objectively one of the greatest of all time.
@@toddwilliams8128 Pete has played and recorded some legendary music, but he's nowhere near as powerful or versatile enough for me in terms of ranking ~ not that rankings mean much
With all the exceptional musicians passing on much too early, Sean Reinerts death was the one the struck me hardest ... loved and adored all his work. With Death, Cynic an Aeon Spoke .... a real tragedy.
it's so cool watching him playing this tune so young and energetic, and of course that double bass with no trigger....pure bliss, only a few drummers have the power and stamina to play that tight with no triggers....old school stuff here.
I dont know about the whole few drummers without triggers thing, also, triggers dont make you tight at all, yes if youre hitting really weak, they can amplify that, but they have nothing to do with tightness.
Yeah, the no triggers thing makes a huge difference. The uneven dynamics give it a much more natural sound compared to most modern metal drummers. Way harder to pull off but it sounds awesome.
I've always loved their all around free-flowing musicianship, especially on human. It got away from me on sound of perseverance where it just started sounding random, but Jesus could these men play. True innovators.
I think Sean was certainly my most favourite drummer in Death, I really wish he had done Individual Thought patterns, Symbolic and especially Sound of Perseverance, No dis-respect to Gene, or Richard, but this is insane, at 20-21 years old as well? What a beast. Individual Thought Patterns, Symbolic and Sound of Perseverance would of been even better with this kind of technicality, especially considering that Sean would be gotten EVEN better, he really is awesome with his jazz.
I've been listening to this song since 1991, always loved it. Seeing this performed live here gives me a whole 'nother appreciation for it. One of the best death metal songs of all time. Long live Chuck, long live Sean, long live metal.
Im back commenting again lmfao. still the greatest drummer i have ever seen in my life. I love gene but im really thinking how amazing it would have been to have this lineup on the next death albums after human
"when it comes to living no one seems to care, when it comes to wanting out those with power will be there!!!" great lyrics, RIP Chuck thanks for uploading this video man!
saw that „In Human Tour of the World 1991“ at Volkshaus, Zürich 16.12.1991 with Silent Death, DISMEMBER, CANNIBAL CORPSE and NAPALM DEATH....great memories, killer times, R.I.P. Sean and Chuck \m/
Great shows, we turned up to the gig at London astoria to find carcass were supporting instead of pestilence. Chuck and Paul did a signing at shades record shop in London before the gig, they signed my coat.
He did educate them even with the classical intro.. fearless boys and girls were cooling down.....it's amazing , because not just for his musical taste,but his black humor also...another reason to love Chuck ...Sean Reinert was the best drummer for death..in our ears.. who knows the exact reason why he wasn't in the next album. ..cause it wasn't for cynic..in Death's documental Sean seems so resentful :(
That´s right. With Gene on drums. Had ourselves the pleasure supporting both bands in Denmark, Copenhagen(Pumpehuset) on their european tour. A local band called Detest. WOUW!!! flashback XD
the trigger is effectively an electronic switch which "triggers" either a sample of a bass drum or some sort of electronic sound. either way, the sound usually sounds little like an actual bass drum, especially when the trigger sets off EXACTLY the same sound every time. i undertsnad the benefits, clarity-wise, but its definitely second best to a proper bass drum imo.
@TheRippingCorpse, if you saw Death with Carcass then it wasn't the Human line-up. Death-Pestilence-Carcass was in 90 supporting Spiritual Healing. then in 91 it was Death-Pestilence-Viogression supporting Human with Sean and Paul. I have shows from both tours here on youtube.
Que importante que hayan quedado estos registros. Complementan muy bien el Human álbum en el que varios detalles de las líneas de batería que son magistrales no se aprecian tan bien como en estos videos.
@brunthroath6912 Umm... actually I think I made a mistake. The tweet actually said "A Handel Concerto Grosso", it didn't specify which one. I just said that one because I didn't realise there was more than one, and it was the first one that came up in a TH-cam search :| So it could be any other Handel Concerto Grosso. Sorry :|
@SeanSitka I'm sure it was. It was in England - Manchester to be exact. For some reason Pestilence didn't play but I do remember Viogression playing. Death went on really late for some reason.
Are you Keffer? I used to play bass in your basement with a gas fitter and a cold sounding guy a while back. Your niece had a nice sounding name? You had a pious mate with a hearse? I went on tour with you and played football in the snow in Austria against Satyr and he cried because we were English and boss at kicking fuck out of everyone? Making Bobbies. Pills. Don't use my real name if you know me, I'm wanted to fuck.
@brunthroath6912 Actually, according to @tprclassical on Twitter, it's Handel's Concerto Grosso in D Minor. So yes, it is a baroque piece. Bach and Vivaldi were good guesses, but not quite spot on.

Rip. One of Metal’s most important drummers.
I am eternal grateful for shaking sean's hand. He is a genius and gentleman. I hope he found peace. R.I.P SEAN!
I'm sure that during 1991, some death-metal drummers have abandonned their instrument after listening to the "Human" album...
this drumming was so inventive and intense...
I think the opposite might be true: many drummers might have started playing drums because they felt inspired by Sean
I’m sure Sean would’ve hated the thought that his drumming made someone else stop playing
But I know he would just blush fiercely to watch g. Hoglan & t. Haake gush about how 19 yr old Sean changed everything for them & inspired them to study & improve after seeing what he did on Human & Cynic's Focus. Hell, he'd be embarrassed that they made a tribute album abt him after he died.

@@jagzin6147maybe he shouldn’t have been so good then😂
intro-classical music..Chuck was such a visionary,and Sean such a beast in drums..!!!

Amazing metal drumming. Just freaking tops.... And to think this was in 91. Blows my mind.
so this is what death metal drumming sounds like without triggers!
Watching the old school greats live is such a privilege !
I remember seeing Sean play live, and I couldn't take my eyes off him. Fucking amazing!

@@vitunpelle602 I'd find it harder playing tight if I didn't hit the kick drum hard tbh

@jonny j you can't tell me no for a preference lol
Gone too early. RIP . Heaven has some heavy hitters now. Bring the thunder !!
I've always loved their all around free-flowing musicianship, especially on human. It got away from me on sound of perseverance where it just started sounding random, but Jesus could these men play. True innovators.
Now I like Baroque music as well (Concerto Grosso in F major Op. 3 No. 4 (HWV 315): III. Allegro )
This should be at the top of comments. What an entrance!
Thanks!

Sorry but "Symbolic" belongs only to Hoglan. No one can play Symbolic songs so good as Gene.

thanks for uploading this video man!
I was lucky enough to see this line up of Death, even better as they had Carcass supporting them!
Goodbye Sean, we'll miss you 😞

Gene Hoglan is my fav Death drummer. But before him there was Sean Reinert. He's beyond legendary.
RIP Sean, what a huge loss...
THANK YOU SO MUCH from the bottom of my heart dude!!
Flawlesssssss!!!!!
Great shows, we turned up to the gig at London astoria to find carcass were supporting instead of pestilence. Chuck and Paul did a signing at shades record shop in London before the gig, they signed my coat.
Hats of to the uploader for this gem!
Intro is Concerto Grosso in F Major, Op. 3 No. 4 III Allegro by Handel
Thanks!
Awesome, loving these drum cam Death videos
Great talent...this was next level stuff when human was released. Still awesome as ever!!
This man is insane
Best drummer in the whole universe period!
That's cool, they used land of no return as the opening. Plus Reinert's fucking great
OMAGAD OMAGAD OMAGAD OMAGAD!! Awesome! This is hidden treasure :D You made my day dude =)
He was really suited to this kind of Death Metal too, would of been awesome to see him get more technical with Death
Before triggers there were Drummers
I can't believe that sean was just 20 here
Thank you for pointing this out. I've been dying to know what that was, and I'm so glad to know.
Savage art with precision & genius. Damn
He did educate them even with the classical intro.. fearless boys and girls were cooling down.....it's amazing , because not just for his musical taste,but his black humor also...another reason to love Chuck ...Sean Reinert was the best drummer for death..in our ears.. who knows the exact reason why he wasn't in the next album. ..cause it wasn't for cynic..in Death's documental Sean seems so resentful :(
God damn, best fucking band ever.
Sean rules... So much style!!!
sean reinert is a fucking god amongst men
this live groove is very rock jazz free style bee bop jajaja respect.
chuck's performance is awesome!
and sean in perfect for it! what a loss for the world of music
I love this song
RIP Sean Reinert
Very cool video!! Great footage!
legendary. Rest in fucking piece
That´s right. With Gene on drums. Had ourselves the pleasure supporting both bands in Denmark, Copenhagen(Pumpehuset) on their european tour. A local band called Detest. WOUW!!! flashback XD
4:48 & 5:05.... orgasmic drum fills and drumming in overall... far from today's generic, lifeless metal performances... so organic.
Absolution everything today is just blast beats and super fast double kicks, no feel at all
Absolutely, this is exactly what i miss in modern extreme bands.
i love the fill in 4:10 because of that beautiful jazzy feel
@@SassierNewt yes!
@@s1nnocense DYNAMICS WILL RETURN TO MUSIC LIKE DEATH METAAAL!
What a drummer
This man is a machine.
After watching the Death documentary I can’t believe chuck actually did Sean dirt by replacing him without telling him
Amazing
RIP
Wow ... Awesome !!!
RIP Sean Reinert! Even in 2023, remains one of The Best drumers!!
Rest in peace Sean
supreme drummer saiyain
UNA BESTIA!!!!!!!!!!!!

R.I.P :(
His creativity was amazing... RIP
Bad-ass! I never listened to Sean until recently - very impressive.
human,best death metal album ever made
I was at this show..
R.I.P. Sean Reinert! Fucking master class!
Awesome
@TheRippingCorpse, if you saw Death with Carcass then it wasn't the Human line-up. Death-Pestilence-Carcass was in 90 supporting Spiritual Healing. then in 91 it was Death-Pestilence-Viogression supporting Human with Sean and Paul. I have shows from both tours here on youtube.
Was that when a roady had to learn the lyrics because Chuck decided not to go on tour some days before the plane to Europe was scheduled?
nice to hear a live death metal clip with a natural bass drum sound instead of a fcking triggered cannon going off
That fill @ 4:03 is just 🤤!
Edit : He has THE sweetest snare tone at this gig.
You’re the best!!
RIP SEAN :(
since the 90´s sean is the king of drummers
Que importante que hayan quedado estos registros. Complementan muy bien el Human álbum en el que varios detalles de las líneas de batería que son magistrales no se aprecian tan bien como en estos videos.
its not that i hate triggers, its just that i actually like bass drums. a lot.
I wish I could play double bass this well
Rip. This is silly good. Like prollly the best shit that ever was. Enjoy, the best drumming ever. Have a good beer
Genius!
Rip brother
i know why this album was my favorite death album.
Brilliant! Sean Reinert owns it.
Completely effortless!
Impressionante!!!
@SeanSitka Yeah, I think he was, and Scott Carino on bass... although it was a long time ago and I've had a few spliffs since then!

on metal drumming is an before sean and an after sean
No bullshit triggers , just a guy drumming, take notes kids
@SeanSitka Do you have any idea who was drumming here then?
Is it me, or the angel, but does Sean's snare drum look bigger than a standard 13" or 14" ?
@TheRippingCorpse sound have been Sean Reinert, was Paul on guitar?
