According to former singer David Vincent, the band once played a prank on Sandoval by making him listen to a band that used a preprogrammed drum machine, and pretended it was a real drummer who could play faster than he could. Sandoval was gutted, and went on to practice until he managed to play faster than the machine.
To me, Pete's drumming reminds me of the precision of mathematics. Many different sets of numbers and values that come together as an elegant and precise formula to a seemingly complex equation.
Your right....and For me he also sounds very human playing. His beats are organic and his style has room to breathe even though hes fucking hauling balls. Lol. You can tell when its Pete playing versus other death metal drummers. This was great.
Good point..they have a lot of diminished, atonal, chromatic sounding stuff that just sounds spooky. My favorite is the song Diary of A Madman by OZZY, Sinister sounding chords.
They have a good drummer today and I thought K was an alright album with some notable highlight tracks like The Righteous Voice. I've heard Pete has injured his back again playing for I Am Morbid too so...
À mon avis, tout simplement le meilleur batteur Death Metal toutes périodes confondues. Quelle intensité, quelle puissance, quelle vitesse! On connait sa frappe à la prémiere fois on l'écoute, c'est brutaux. Hail Pete!!! \m/
man ! i never get tired of watching this guy pete is the shit no wonder hes one of nicholas barker`s influences among them is dave lombardo another great drummer as well and many more so ppl here dont start talking shit my taste is my taste not yours pete one of the best imho
@MrBlastBeast 2nd trigger is for backup as soon as one falls out. Pete has been using a mix of triggered/miced drums live for a long time now (I think i started doing this around Gateways or Formulas...)
many of the people questioning this style of drumming will never even do 100 gigs in their lives, when Pete and morbid have done thousands and like the feeling of flying
@AsAllHopeDies92 That's just his style. He isn't overly creative, but the way he plays just sounds so smooth. I can't quite explain what about his style is so intriguing.
Pete Commando rules!!! Incredible speed and genial patterns! He is a real precursor of the blast beat and still a inspiration for all drummers in worldwide! Pete is the Death Metal!
I was just readin up about pete and i guess he would practice until his body physically could not go any longer then wake up and start it all over again, and even managed to eventually go faster than a drum machine! idk if thats true but i have no problem in believing it!! PETE IS A GOD!!
Speed drummers are a dime a dozen. I like how precise Pete is, and his syncopation in the bridge. The rest, I can find at any studio or show, anywhere.
Piter is master real king is king latino es estrella y mastro y terrorizer es musica es colombia estrella piter gracia por tu musica es vida y felicidad y justicia en paz del mundo.
Can't believe a short skinny guy like Pete can do such thing. One of the most precise drummers out there. "Bless Are The Sick" is probably his best work. Wanna hear him doing some really fast stuff? Listen to "World Downfall" by Terrorizer. Pete, get well, brother. Hope to see and hear you again with MB.
Pete is all about excellence in interval and timings. Be sure he thinks is himself in fact divided into all the 1/4-1/16 (32ths) divisions otherwise he would have gotten out of the pace after a 10 seconds :)
is this from a dvd? Thats a very raw solid live recording, definitely captures Pete's killer distinctive feel. could've been a more beefier but I can't complain, this is too awesomel.
It always gets me that the top ten of anything has more to do with music that's more mainstream. Rolling Stone and the like are all guilty of this. You have some guy that listens to something like Dire Straits and when asked what drummer he likes best he picks thiers. They can't seem to get past the extreme in extreme metal to realize someone like Sandoval's potential. By the way I have nothing against Dire Straits just using them as an example.
I wonder why he uses even TWO triggers on each drum, because he plays very powerful and straight, there's no need for those tom and snare triggers imo...
Pete Sanvoval is the Godfather...we should all remember who he is and what HE started

LOL
LOL?! Seriously?
What band
@@6.thedollar415 Most likely Mortician.
@@SuicidalGrind probably explains the speed difference between domination and FFTTF
his drum fills are so clean. Simply amazing
pete may have the most iconic blast beat of all time... as soon as you hear it you know its him.
To me, Pete's drumming reminds me of the precision of mathematics. Many different sets of numbers and values that come together as an elegant and precise formula to a seemingly complex equation.

Morbid Angel just sounds evil...more so than many other bands.
44stimulus It's atonal. The key is constantly fluctuating to give it a "backwards" feel.
Good point..they have a lot of diminished, atonal, chromatic sounding stuff that just sounds spooky. My favorite is the song Diary of A Madman by OZZY, Sinister sounding chords.
Pete Sandoval - the drummer, the inspiration, the human DM machine.
I love the way Pete fully focuses on his drumming... it's like meditation.
He is my favorite extreme metal (death metal)drummer.
No one does it better! I wish there where more drummers like Pete!
Keep it on, Pete!!!!!!! PLEASE!!
I'm one of those who still miss Sandoval's drumming in Morbid Angel.
BTW I hope that 2017's album could bring back the old sound stuff that i enjoyed.
Rodrigo Villarroel this aged like milk
They have a good drummer today and I thought K was an alright album with some notable highlight tracks like The Righteous Voice. I've heard Pete has injured his back again playing for I Am Morbid too so...
The king of the Kings the daddy of the dads the drumer of all drumers Mrs. Peter Sandoval

petes just on another level
This is a really good video showing the skill that Sandoval has. He really drives the band on and he makes it what it is today. GOOD JOB.
I'm proud of this Salvadoran drummer..sos el mejor cerote
Impresionante!! Aguante Pete Sandoval!!!
pete has a hell of an endurance trip,
Pete es el padre de los blast beats
I have been a fan of Morbid Angel for almost 13 years and Sandoval has been the back beat for the band for all that time, and I love them both.
Sem palavras para esse monstro 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Considering the Video quality, the audio is pretty good. And the playing amazing.
man ! i never get tired of watching this guy pete is the shit no wonder hes one of nicholas barker`s influences among them is dave lombardo another great drummer as well and many more so ppl here dont start talking shit my taste is my taste not yours pete one of the best imho
Love his style is fuckin brutal and his drumming is so damn precise
@SteelProphet Okay, but I don't see any tom mics here. So maybe he uses only triggers on them and so the backup is even more important?
@MrBlastBeast 2nd trigger is for backup as soon as one falls out. Pete has been using a mix of triggered/miced drums live for a long time now (I think i started doing this around Gateways or Formulas...)
the best drummer ever
@TheDarkomen9 The reason he has 2 triggers per drum is so that each tirgger is making a different sound, making his drums sound more unique.
morbid angel aint gonna be the same without him
LEGEND.
Pete drums sounds like complete song ! AMAZING !!
D. D. Crazy and Pete Sandoval are masters!!
why slag Pete off? He is a legendary death metal drummer. Respect pete, you are a true legend of Metal.
Simply amazing!
Pete is of the best out there
This is not level - expert this is level - Satan.
A Ghoul playing Drums...Pete Sandoval...
THE KING!
He is definitely one of the best (or maybe THE BEST)drummer ever...
I think Gene Hoglan is better but Pete’s still a top tier drummer
For me Pete is the best Death metal drummer.
many of the people questioning this style of drumming will never even do 100 gigs in their lives, when Pete and morbid have done thousands and like the feeling of flying
Thank you so much for posting!
Legendary.
Ive watched this video a couple dozen times thinking i knew what to expect....But all be damn if Pete isnt the greatest god damn drummer EVER!!
The man, the legend, unbelievable. He is the best drummer ever and I don't even like the genre.
great blast beats you got to have that little hop movement it helps
The Best

Perwersyjna Perfekcja!
pete sandoval was born in santa ana ,El salvador right?
Master of the Masters!
It's the greatest thing I've ever seen!!!
So gnarly.
Beautyful!
I was just readin up about pete and i guess he would practice until his body physically could not go any longer then wake up and start it all over again, and even managed to eventually go faster than a drum machine! idk if thats true but i have no problem in believing it!! PETE IS A GOD!!
does anyone know what kind of ride is he using on this live?
Speed drummers are a dime a dozen. I like how precise Pete is, and his syncopation in the bridge. The rest, I can find at any studio or show, anywhere.
This comment is only true of extreme metal drumming (at this level) if you lived in Tampa, Florida in the early 90’s.
cool music!! i wonder if they ever play in the us?
Real old school morbid angel are the pioneers of death metal! New bands never born at their time! The best pete
wot are the secondary triggers for ?
Piter is master real king is king latino es estrella y mastro y terrorizer es musica es colombia estrella piter gracia por tu musica es vida y felicidad y justicia en paz del mundo.
Is there special Live Paris 2005 dvd from Morbid Angel?
Can't believe a short skinny guy like Pete can do such thing. One of the most precise drummers out there. "Bless Are The Sick" is probably his best work. Wanna hear him doing some really fast stuff? Listen to "World Downfall" by Terrorizer.
Pete, get well, brother. Hope to see and hear you again with MB.
tnaktnom
I don't believe Pete is short in height. 5'10" at least.
He is rail thin though.
Legend!!
Pete is a GOAT.
Pete is all about excellence in interval and timings. Be sure he thinks is himself in fact divided into all the 1/4-1/16 (32ths) divisions otherwise he would have gotten out of the pace after a 10 seconds :)
great cover men \m/
The Master! \m/
hermoso!!!!
now for a question that matters what is the sabian cymbal set up anyone know?????
his crashes I think are AAX and AA. china's idk or hats.
The best!
i agree with ya man,the trax soun identical
is this from a dvd? Thats a very raw solid live recording, definitely captures Pete's killer distinctive feel. could've been a more beefier but I can't complain, this is too awesomel.
@Drutek i think Seige were the first to blast beat, then Repulsion and last Napalm, but im not 100 percent sure.
Pete is the master.
Profesor rayado!
I can't hear the bass drum...
yes!
Well....This one goes like 2 times 5 stars shit!!!! I´ll give complete 10 stars!! He really is commando.
Holy shit. Pete the fucking commando sandoval.
awesomr
mane he’s just the fucking best
The effing commando at his finest!
@RETLAW18 TRIGGERS ITS FOR BETTER SOUND, IT DOESN'T GIVE YOU ANY SPEED.
Why that slow? He he. Pete is one of the greatest metal drummers for sure.
He's the best!
why does he have 2 triggers on each tom?
Maybe so he can detect two different velocities and mask the machinegun effect when playing fast rolls.
fucking amazing
It always gets me that the top ten of anything has more to do with music that's more mainstream. Rolling Stone and the like are all guilty of this. You have some guy that listens to something like Dire Straits and when asked what drummer he likes best he picks thiers.

Commando Pete bang at it!!!!
I guess you have not heard the Terrorizer demos or seen all the other Terrorizer party shows before he recorded Altars and World Downfall
The Maze is being raped by Pete!!! A thousand horns up to you, sir.
word.
I wonder why he uses even TWO triggers on each drum, because he plays very powerful and straight, there's no need for those tom and snare triggers imo...
HE IS ALSO SALVADORAN
@Sjamsucks bullshit, they're for backup
fun fun fun
look at his boots!!!
pete kicks my ass. \../
quick hands, and of course those quick feet of his. what a drummer!
