Here's my analysis of my own playing back in 2011 with Belphegor (Song: Bondage Goat Zombie). I'm discussing weak spots in my playing and how I got rid of them Drum Technique Academy: www.drumtechniqueacademy.net
Awsome video as always, one can learn a lot from your videos, even for us non musicians. I would love to see you analysis of Mike Smith (Suffocation): th-cam.com/video/UX-6xvZwqSc/w-d-xo.html
@@drumtechniqueacademy Wird dann wohl mal Zeit für ein Video über Florian. Shred for Sathan oder Redeemer, such dir was aus ;) Achja: Klasse Channel, klasse Video, klasse Drumming bei Belphegor!
Alvaro Velazquez samus is pretty typical of an American (I am from the US well unfortunately). he smokes massive amounts of thc so anyone with an accent is automatically funny and an easy target. marthyn on the other hand is chill and calculated , and I don't know where he hails from but I'm positive it's somewhere in Europe. my guess is Greece but that just shows 5he difference in culture I guess. and samus did say marthyn is a supirior drummer who plays stuff he wouldn't even attempt.
That is the video that got me into not only into Belphegor, but you, too. I loved the snare and I loved the song. Got me into gear, technique and more blackened death metal. So, thank you!
For some reason this video gave me more useful information on solving my drumming problems than all educational videos I've ever seen. Thank you, Marthyn!
I absolutely love that you explain everything and although I'm not a drummer, I love watching drumming videos and reaction videos are always fun, and you somehow make what you say interesting and engaging while still being technical. Always eagerly waiting for your next vid, you are awesome.
I subscribed to your channel because you are an amazing person, and extremely humble. You being a drum teacher is a benefit for the rest of us. I know countless people that could learn from you on how to treat others with kindness as you do. If there were more people like you in this world, it would be a better place.
Very cool that you did one of these for yourself! I'm also incredibly gratified to see I'm not the only one using a practice pad for an off-the-desk mousepad (such a great surface, that)
Love your channel and your willingness to critique your own playing and weaknesses. I'm having to break a lot of bad habits these days so I can bust through plateaus and your videos are inspiring me to keep working. Thank you!
I'm 48. Have a pipe dream of being a metal drummer someday. Listening to Marthyn is one of the things in life that keeps me going. I have all the practice stuff and listen to everything he says. I trust him, thanks!
Wow man, cant get no sleep tonight and fell into ur YT-channel. U given me so much good theory on bass drum tech and I dont even play metal. Extremely thankfull for this
Thanks Marthyn. This video is more informative than your other reacts videos. Obviously you know your playing and how you overcame your weaknesses so you have great insight. Also it's great to see how one can record themselves and view the recordings critically and see how to get better.
Hello, 1st of all I'd like to say that for me it's always awesome to see someone reacting/evaluating their own performance and see the mistakes & goods/cons, it takes a lot of time and also it demonstrates the humble personality to persue higher goals and progression. Then I'd like too say that even though I'm a pianist/keyboard player, I also play drums (progressive metal and some more extreme) , and You're an awesome inspiration and resource for community. And why? You're very clear , directed towards the purpose. And you explain things in a easy way. Thanks a lot for Your dedication and share.
I've seen your react videos before, but never knew your background. I had no idea that you ever played for Belphegor! I just shared the video you reacted to with a buddy the other day because that snare sound is the best live snare I've ever heard, then this react video showed up in my recommended!
I saw you guys in 2010 in Reno, NV and it kicked ass for sure! Still one of my favorite shows to this day! Thanks for the awesome videos Marthyn, Keep up the great work! \m/
Marthyn, you are so incredibly humble and insightful. I really am thankful I came across your channel. I love the reaction videos, but I understand why you departed from them. I myself am not a drummer full time so I don't have much use for what you are posting nowadays, but I will always look forward to the possibility of future react videos, and be grateful that your insane talent and knowledge is here for the world to share :)
Marthyn....you are a beast and we love this channel....please do a break down on a drummer named Adam Bjork doing Slaughter to prevail/Hell. It's at 270 bpm and super powerful and very impressive. You will enjoy this dude.....PLEASE!!!!
I think your drumming style is great, specially on "In blood devour this sanctity" and on the album Conjuring the dead, specially on the song Gasmask Terror.
@@drumtechniqueacademy seriously, i started noticing a lot of my faults and started to fix them because you did a good analysis of some other people. So cheers again and keep up the good job sharing knowledge!
Great video as always Marthyn, the switch grip exercise is great! How would you go about learning the calf technique when you're used to hip flexors? - I'd really like to see some of the old school black metal guys like frost or hellhammer. Both really unique in their playing and primal in a way. Semp
That's funny Marthyn: just yesterday, working on your BDM course, I found that I was confortable playing ankle technic at slow tempo. But I somehow heard that you told that it was difficult and didn't suit the situation. Should play hip flexor for that... Anyway my choice was not made, and I gave me time for that. And just today I hear that finally you ended uo playing ankle technic in any situation! So you validate my feeling :)
Hi Marthyn great video! It help me a lot to understand my foot technique when you were talking about yours, I'm also playing with calves for slow tempo, but I need to fix this technique because it works just 50% of times for me, my max tempo is at 150-155 bpm and 50% of time I can't play at more than 130 bpm... So my question is: when you are using calves at 120 bpm for example, are you first pushing the pedal board with the action of calve and so your leg rise after this, or with calves you raise your heel and when your heel fall it make the stokes happen? I suppose the best technique is the first but I want to be sure :)
Its nice to see that you criticize yourself or just tell what you could have done better.. anyway i think otherwise you would not have been able to reach that lvl of drumming :) nice video! It would be nice to see a video of you reacting to Tobias Schuler from "Der Weg einer Freiheit"
Have you reacted to Dan Presland, the drummer of Ne Obliviscaris? He blends complexity and speed like few others out there, and his studio videos look very clean.
Holy shit Marthyn was in fucking Belphegor?! Been jamming to them since 2008 never wouldve guessed this kind austrian man was in fucking Belphegor!? Waaaaaat Belphegor!!!!?
03:55 XD What was so wrong with that fill, it sounded pretty good to me haha (though for the record, I'm not a drummer, just yet another guitarist who can't help watching your videos -- fans of excellence, I guess you can call us!) edit: ahhh, nevermind, you answered it in the video! :D
Yeah it was suppose to be a 32nd note run from the snare over 2 high toms. He missed a bunch if notes and he knows it hahaha. Live it's harder to tell cause the sounds can get muffled together. Thus, his head shaking when he saw it hahah
Would be interesting to hear a couple of words about Tobias Andersen from Leprous or Kai Hahto of Rotten Sound and Wintersun! Especially Hahto because he`s from my country :) (Finland)
You're a fucking beast. Some of us still like music for the feeling... not perfect technique. I still want to see a Baard Kolstad or Jeff Eber reaction vid...
Even though you pointed out several things you did poorly and corrected them afterwards, still great work Marthyn. Could we see a tribute to the late great Vinnie Paul performing F'ing Hostile?
If you could provide an analysis of Sebastian Lanser of Obscure playing Ten Sepiroth, that would be amazing. He's definitely a pretty unique drummer when it comes to metal. Really enjoy how you break down drumming techniques. Cheers! Link to Ten Sepiroth drum cam: th-cam.com/video/05bcLLiylY0/w-d-xo.html

please do this guy! th-cam.com/video/SImHi16cwqc/w-d-xo.html
The grip change technique for tom fills is brilliant! Makes so much more sense thanks!
Awsome video as always, one can learn a lot from your videos, even for us non musicians.
I would love to see you analysis of Mike Smith (Suffocation):

Marthyn Jovanovic please react to Joey Jordison playing Disasterpiece haha
Marthyn Jovanovic please Analyse to this: th-cam.com/video/l4y1HPrKa8I/w-d-xo.html
At last, Marthyn reacts to one of Belphegor's top drummers!
wow you're too kind... I have to tell you that guys like torturer for example were outstanding...and eugene and simon have raised the bar again! 💪
They do, Marthyn, they do......
But you're still up there, one of the best Belphegor drummer.
@@drumtechniqueacademy Wird dann wohl mal Zeit für ein Video über Florian. Shred for Sathan oder Redeemer, such dir was aus ;) Achja: Klasse Channel, klasse Video, klasse Drumming bei Belphegor!
The only logical place to go from here is to react to 66samus
Iron Wallace oh yeerrrrr!
Yesssss
66samus was cool but his just a douchebag personality marthyn is cooler
@@slavicobelrus2466 D.B. yes!but he is good for a laugh.
Alvaro Velazquez samus is pretty typical of an American (I am from the US well unfortunately). he smokes massive amounts of thc so anyone with an accent is automatically funny and an easy target. marthyn on the other hand is chill and calculated , and I don't know where he hails from but I'm positive it's somewhere in Europe. my guess is Greece but that just shows 5he difference in culture I guess. and samus did say marthyn is a supirior drummer who plays stuff he wouldn't even attempt.
emmm, you are still kind of wanting to laugh when you said hip flexors hahahaXDDDDD
Haha, I wasn't expecting you to react to yourself. I'm eager to watch this, you're awesome
yeah- that one was a bit weird :-) but a lot of drummers asked for it...
That is the video that got me into not only into Belphegor, but you, too.
I loved the snare and I loved the song.
Got me into gear, technique and more blackened death metal.
So, thank you!
thx alot!!!
That snare is definitely vicious
This is my favoutite drummer is nice to see you react to him
haha
Love how you chuckle as soon as you said 'Hip flexors' hhhahaha The samus effect.
haha true... I already thought about naming my new company "hip flexor and french grip industries" :-)
Oh yuuuur
@@drumtechniqueacademy lol.
It would be nice to see you playing this song again after all these years like you kind of did with Lucifer Incestus. What do you think?
That would be awesome!
Wow I've been drumming for 12 years and this vid has just taught me a bunch!
I wish every metal drummer would do such an in-depth analysis of his technique - this is priceless.
That drummer kinda looks like you
For some reason this video gave me more useful information on solving my drumming problems than all educational videos I've ever seen. Thank you, Marthyn!
I absolutely love that you explain everything and although I'm not a drummer, I love watching drumming videos and reaction videos are always fun, and you somehow make what you say interesting and engaging while still being technical. Always eagerly waiting for your next vid, you are awesome.
Nice. Big respect for reacting to yourself and pointing out where you've improved. More people can and should do this.
#HipFlexers
Just got an idea: how about reacting to Samus?
Ingvar that’s a great idea!!! Samus is brutal 🥁🤘🏻💀💀💀
Yes please!
Samus: React to the drum teacher reacting to me. Then our M.J maybe would have a new laugh point for that(???)
is there any live footage from Samus?
@@OthonasDrums gotta be, he's Decrepit Birth's drummer
Oh shit, man. Your humility and ability to self reflect is outstanding. Thanks for making this video.
This is incredible man!!!!!! The snare sound is awsome too. Looking forward to "Drum Technique Academy" ♡♡♡

Jonathan Comeau EVERY GRIP!!!
Super fun and educational as always!! :)
thank you
Enjoying your knowledge and your humbleness. Cheers from an old fella from Puerto Rico.
thanks for watching my videos
Do one on Namtar from Carach Angren, there is atleast one good video sickdrummermagazine recorded of him.
One of the best videos you've done. Possibly the best.
If it's possible, I'd love to see some more critique-focused react videos.
I like how you had to keep yourself from laughing the first time you said "hip flexors" haha keep up the badass videos dude
thx alot mike... will do!

That switch grip example is awesome!
Selbstkritik ist eine große Kunst und es ist etwas das einem hilft besser zu werden. Tolles Video.
one of the best blast beats ive ever seen! you rocked back then and still do haha
Marthyn, I have a huge amount of respect for you. All the best.
Love your vids Marthyn...greetings from Canada!
So critical of yourself and all so informative. Thanks for all your vids and info. Always a fan

Looking forward to this one!
Worth the wait ;p nice job! :)

Sehr gut! Danke für die Detail-Erklärungen und -Beispiele. Immer wieder super, deine Videos... 🤘😎👌

Great video. Your students are very lucky to have such a great teacher.
thank you- I try my best!!
Marthynception?
haha kind of :-)
Great video idea, really interesting.
That snare tone is FUCKING BRUTAL oh my GOD
Plz react to 66samus :p
You're one of the best metal drummers around, Marthyn!🤘🤙
I’ve only recently discovered Belphegor and I love them.
Thank you so much! That was really helpful!!
Great video dude..its awesome the way you break down everything and on your own video..haaa..love the way you use your content..💯🔥
Great video as always! Definitely felt that
Exercise!!
Brilliant idea! Great analysis, and I never would have noticed the issues lol
there's always room for improvement...
Cool , you played with belphegor ! Awesome . Good vids martyn , cheers
Really sic drumming, outstanding blast beat.
I love this song 🤘
Me too
Always great and usefull stuff in every video.. keep it going ;) it helps a lot. Cheers!

Great video as always Marthyn, a lot of information given in a short time span 😀
What a beast, great video man. Have you considered to do a video of KrimhKerim (Septic Flesh)?
Wieder ein sehr gutes Video. Danke Marthyn!
Haha, the way he laughed after saying hip flexers :D. He should definitely react to 66Samus

try to sit further back on your drum stool...this way you make it harder to use your hip-flexors...
You did an awesome job at that time!
Really Good explanation
Amazing job
Man, I'd LOVE to see you react to David Diepold's Belphagor covers. That guy is INSANE. But you know that already...
That's funny Marthyn: just yesterday, working on your BDM course, I found that I was confortable playing ankle technic at slow tempo.

@@drumtechniqueacademy Okay thanks you for the answer! :)
React to HELLHAMMER (Mayhem/Arcturus)
Crystallized pain in deconstruction live in Marseilles
Love your videos!
What is the difference between the open/close technique and the push/pull technique since you seem to suggest they are different?
Its nice to see that you criticize yourself or just tell what you could have done better.. anyway i think otherwise you would not have been able to reach that lvl of drumming :) nice video! It would be nice to see a video of you reacting to Tobias Schuler from "Der Weg einer Freiheit"
Fantastic content as usual Marthyn \m/
Thx alot
my favorite part of the day is when I see one of Mr.Jovanovic's videos show up in my subscription feed :)
And what about Adam Jarvis?! His blasting so loud and powerfull. I saw one of his interview, he said he goes on 300bpm easily
Have you reacted to Dan Presland, the drummer of Ne Obliviscaris? He blends complexity and speed like few others out there, and his studio videos look very clean.
Holy shit Marthyn was in fucking Belphegor?! Been jamming to them since 2008 never wouldve guessed this kind austrian man was in fucking Belphegor!? Waaaaaat Belphegor!!!!?

edit: ahhh, nevermind, you answered it in the video! :D
There're like 4 notes missing :P But, I don't know the real fill, so maybe it's just an interrupted fill on the toms.

@@josephwashington2096 @vetlerradio I see, thanks, and well, I guess I've got a lot more ear training to do in that regard, I better get to it!
