+NWH83 It's not just that, the new guy doesn't keep time on the hi-hat constantly like Askel did. The new guy also tends to simplify the difficult parts. He didn't play on the new album either.Don't get me wrong, he isn't bad, he is tight, and people that don't play drums probably can't tell the difference, but I've been playing 12 years and can. lol
+Brian Taylor I've been playing for 23 years and can definitely tell the HUGE difference between the two, but saying one is better than the other isn't applicable. I do agree with your comments, though.
Aksel Holmgren = one truely epic drummer indeed. His timing and control are absolutely impeccable. At the same time, he sounds very natural, not mechanical at all and with lots of dynamics (no triggers used, no of the charts compression). Very hard to master!
this ghoul is fucking hilarious i just saw him in the rock in rio interview with the bassist. they're both awesome, the rhythm guitarist is cool as fuck, the lead guitarist is brilliant, and papa is obviously a genius.
Such a fantastic drummer, I could watch him play all day. According to the band he is really fucking good at the drums than what we are hearing and seeing. I hope the band let him shine more on the next album. I'll now let some of you get back to worrying who's who while I enjoy the music ;)
i love the simple drum kit, but watching these guys live, the guitarist on stage left (right side here) is always my favorite. hard to be a showman in a robe and mask, but he does it.
Dave Grohl is not the drummer of Ghost, He invited ghost to come to his studio in LA and record some covers. He (Dave) played drums and also produced the tracks on the If You Have Ghost EP, which includes: I'm A Marionette, If you have ghosts, Crucified, Waiting for the night. I'm not 100% that he played drums on all of the tracks, atleast on I'm a Marionette.
The EP says: -- All songs performed by Papa Emeritus II and a group of Nameless Ghouls with the participation of Dave Grohl (who plays drums and percussion on "i'm a Marionette" and "waiting for the Night" and rhytm guitar on "If you have ghosts" --
Unique and interesting technique. He sits high while the kit is particularly low, something contemporary with old school drumming of the 60s and 70s, which today is regarded as rather uncomfortable. He also incorporates quite a lot of syncopation in the beats, something also associated with traditional drumming. We don't know a lot about Aksel, but he sure must've been a fan of Bonham or something. Pretty badass.
Thanks for posting. It´s nice to see the drummer up close doing his thing! The Ghouls also seem to be MUCH more active now than in this video; maybe because of the new costumes?
Very neat and tidy drumming, it's easy to appreciate such tight drumming when you experience it live. Solid act, I'd recommend anyone to go see 'em in concert at least once.
+NiM3siS he's a great drummer because he's accurately feeling the music. would this track need a blast-beat on it? no.did the beatles need a buddy rich/elvin jones kind of drummer for example? no. grow a brain.
Simple but complex all at the same time, and always learning new thongs from this guy, about the songs great fun playing ghost on drums like I said simple but so so complex \m/
A lot of talented drummers (and myself) have a dominant left hand....usually with a naturally stronger right leg, A left handed kit can be deal breaking if sharing or using others gear,So for some it becomes more practical to adapt. Most left hand lead players are also quite creative...Not sure if this is the answer you sought and is just my opinion...
Jason O'Donnell exactly the same here I am left handed but the first drum kit I played on was right handed so I kinda adapted which has came in handy when playing gigs with other bands :D
Yep! I was thinking the same because he´s taking time with left hand... I´m lefthanded too and I know a little bit about drums... XD I would like to play drums again after watch this XD
Man, I love his style
Alan Kramer too bad he isn't ghost drummer anymore
Yea, that actually pretty sad.
But still, I'm liking the new songs
Alan Kramer So how can you know it? Was ther any statement?:D
Old drummer is left handed and was playing open handed style new one is playing classic style and he has got different drumset
+Idrol
they change drum sets a lot, depending on the venue they play
The best drummer that ghost ever had I miss him so much 😔😔
Me too, this was absolutely the best Ghost era.
They are missing so much without his playing.
100%
The Great Discord. Axsel Holmgren
@@ShermanProductions2015 Him and Martin were the sound of Ghost honestly. Tobias had the vision but they understood the sound
Aksel Holmgren, the best drummer Ghost ever had. I miss him so much 😢
Me tooo
I miss old Drummer Ghoul. Great, unique style that was perfect for them.
what?
+Charlie Granados R They have a new drummer. This guy is like a 9, and new guy is like 7.
+Brian Taylor not necessarily true, different styles doesn't necessarily mean one is better than the other.
+NWH83 It's not just that, the new guy doesn't keep time on the hi-hat constantly like Askel did. The new guy also tends to simplify the difficult parts. He didn't play on the new album either.Don't get me wrong, he isn't bad, he is tight, and people that don't play drums probably can't tell the difference, but I've been playing 12 years and can. lol

Anyone who's seen this band live, knows that their drummer is an absolute monster.
+Lord Sauron both of them... the recent one is not the one on the video...
+evattmab actually yes he is. the first one was taller and this one is shorter.
Lord Sauron I'm playing Shadow of War as my friends are asking me about my favorite drummers. Aksel is the man.
poor guy, he works so hard and he is behind everybody :(
He has the keyboardist to keep him company :)
The life of a drummer is a hard life indeed
And most of the time he's behind smoke.
+Tyler Armbruster Not hard if you're not a people's person. But you gotta respect us, we are the ones keep'n time. Lol
He sits on the throne dude!
You don't need a hundred toms and cymbals to rock on your drumset. Nice technique!
no u dont need Tom just Jerry ^^
Well you don't, five or six toms are enough to get rock
Absolutely agree
I hate when drummers performance with a enormous drums just for do show
No....but it looks cool as hell when you got double bass and 10 toms
What a great band Ghost was in this era! I really miss it. And Aksel! What a beast on the drums!!
this guy is an absolute monster.
Aksel Holmgren = one truely epic drummer indeed. His timing and control are absolutely impeccable. At the same time, he sounds very natural, not mechanical at all and with lots of dynamics (no triggers used, no of the charts compression). Very hard to master!
Aksel has a unique way of blending drum basics with technical playing. Extremely fantastic drummer.
this ghoul is fucking hilarious i just saw him in the rock in rio interview with the bassist. they're both awesome, the rhythm guitarist is cool as fuck, the lead guitarist is brilliant, and papa is obviously a genius.
Basically the whole band is fucking amazing
Askel Holmgren - fantastic drummer !!!
I like the new drummer, he's a beast!!! But the simple and classic sound of the first, always make me happy! hahaha
Just what the song needed and nothing more- such a talent. I really miss him.
La mejor era de Ghost 🤘
I talked to this guy, such an friendly and polite guy! Wow and what a drummer
I have his drumstick when they came to mexico, he gave it to me personally :)
el wey sonaba como dave grohl????
which pro mark model is that exactly ??
im late by 2 years, but their current drummer uses promark tx420n mike portnoy series, just caught a stick a few weeks ago
Yo tengo una baqueta suya también de cuando estuvieron en Paraguay con Slayer y Iron Maiden xd
Yo tengo una uña de bajo que me dio Paul Gray, ex bajista de Slipknot, eso es ORO para nosotros los MAGGOTS!
I love the new drummer but we gotta admit, this one was a walking metronome. So precise.
l love Ghost BC so much, they are definitely my favorite band.
yeah, l always do that,;l learned from an interview that the bc is just done for their label because a million other things are called ghost.
They only have to use BC in America. They joked in another interview that BC stood for Because Copyright.
haha :)
RobBluth I liked when one person thought Bc stood for Buring Christ!!! :)
Martin Dollhead That's a good one! :)
Always a pleasure to see a talented professional at work.
Simple kit, simple playing (and with a metronome)... but damn he's tight and damn this is definitely the best band ever!
The Best Ghost Drummer
Man... This was the best group of Ghost. I miss the original Ghouls
There are no original ghouls since Ghost has always been a Tobias project
I would love to hear the whole album from this vantage point...this is great stuff!
*****
post it
*****
we're waiting for you to post it, please.
Do you really think he's going to post it lol
I really enjoy this simple and restrained way of drumming. And he has such a swing! I miss him and Alpha on Ghost.
Best drummer
Such a fantastic drummer, I could watch him play all day. According to the band he is really fucking good at the drums than what we are hearing and seeing. I hope the band let him shine more on the next album.
I'll now let some of you get back to worrying who's who while I enjoy the music ;)
It's a shame he's been replaced :(
Sh!t man, this is probably one of the best drum cam videos on TH-cam. AH effortlessly kicks that kit’s @$$! 🤘🏼
this guy is in The Great Discord now.
this is so fucking pleasant to watch/listen... He hypnotizes me.
Man, those drum parts are written so well. The disco rhythm is awesome.
1:57. Nice.
i love the simple drum kit, but watching these guys live, the guitarist on stage left (right side here) is always my favorite. hard to be a showman in a robe and mask, but he does it.
it's actually so much fun following along w/ him in these videos as well as other drummist
Beautiful view and excellent musician.
Love the band and the drummer is a machine!! I wish there are more vids like this with a drum cam 😥
My favorite drummer they've had.
Dave Grohl is not the drummer of Ghost, He invited ghost to come to his studio in LA and record some covers. He (Dave) played drums and also produced the tracks on the If You Have Ghost EP, which includes: I'm A Marionette, If you have ghosts, Crucified, Waiting for the night.
I'm not 100% that he played drums on all of the tracks, atleast on I'm a Marionette.
He also played drums on their cover of Waiting for the Night, and Rhythm Guitar on If You Have Ghosts
He played at one of their live shows early on. There’s a video somewhere of it
Cool to see the drumming up close & the stage from this view.
More of this please!
The EP says: -- All songs performed by Papa Emeritus II and a group of Nameless Ghouls with the participation of Dave Grohl (who plays drums and percussion on "i'm a Marionette" and "waiting for the Night" and rhytm guitar on "If you have ghosts" --
Best Ghost song in my opinion. Tnx for the Upload :D
es para quitarse el sombrero, lo que hace con lo poquito que tiene
aksel fue por lejos el mejor baterista que tuve ghost
Angel Casariego
Neta.
Concuerdo
Unique and interesting technique. He sits high while the kit is particularly low, something contemporary with old school drumming of the 60s and 70s, which today is regarded as rather uncomfortable.

какие классные у него перебивки!👍на припеве вообще офигенно😍😍😍
This guys technique is great. He plays way under his abilities here.
Thanks for posting. It´s nice to see the drummer up close doing his thing!

Very neat and tidy drumming, it's easy to appreciate such tight drumming when you experience it live. Solid act, I'd recommend anyone to go see 'em in concert at least once.
Love it. Minimalist drumming. And I have the very same behringer mini mixer :)
1:15 nice
In the end I thought he had thrown the drumsticks away, until I saw this complete HAHA video.
They are amazing
One of the best!
My favorite song
He is damn solid.
just goes to show you that you dont need a huge kit to make some great music and jam out
para flipar que pasada da gusto verlo
Excellent Drummer... I want to see you play more songs ...
his timing is amazing.
2022 y aun extraño a este nameless ghoul :c
This was awesome to watch. Thx
Riktig bra trummis. Man kan se att han är både höger och vänsterhänt! Vilket är väldigt bra som trummis!
WoW 😮❤
He's an amazing drummer with a rather simple drum set. I like that.
Would be great if you could upload any other drumcam vids from this gig! He's so fun to watch :)
I wish there were more or these.
The simplicity is refreshing
Awesome groove.
dude he's really good!
This song looks fun as hell to play.
muy bueno este personaje
I was there. Awesome show!
This guy here, just badass, wish he still was In the band :(
fuckn small drum.. but he got skill !!!!
He's got the skill of my 4 year old.
+NiM3siS wow your so cool dude..
+NiM3siS he's a great drummer because he's accurately feeling the music. would this track need a blast-beat on it? no.did the beatles need a buddy rich/elvin jones kind of drummer for example? no. grow a brain.
+Karni Mani Much bigger drum set in his newer band
If you have any more vids to upload from their show please do upload them!
*AMAZING DRUMMER*
MORE! MORE!
this is amazing!!!!
Simple but complex all at the same time, and always learning new thongs from this guy, about the songs great fun playing ghost on drums like I said simple but so so complex \m/
assisto esse video quase todos os dias há um bom tempo. mitico demais
meinl sounds good. thanks for the vid
So good!
He s fast on the high hat and cool
banda mais daora do mundo
Great band🤟🏼
Wow... Simplemente increíble!!!!
is so simple but is so good
Amazing, thanks!
Aksel :)
I love the mysteriousness of this band! (did I spell it right?)
I wanna see him play Secular Haze...now THAT'S a tricky part
this is a fucking jam if you play it on 1.5
The Best band in the universe. 👹
is he left handed or what?
A lot of talented drummers (and myself) have a dominant left hand....usually with a naturally stronger right leg, A left handed kit can be deal breaking if sharing or using others gear,So for some it becomes more practical to adapt. Most left hand lead players are also quite creative...Not sure if this is the answer you sought and is just my opinion...
kinda of, i was just asking myself how can he play with both hands.
thanks.
Jason O'Donnell exactly the same here I am left handed but the first drum kit I played on was right handed so I kinda adapted which has came in handy when playing gigs with other bands :D
Yep! I was thinking the same because he´s taking time with left hand... I´m lefthanded too and I know a little bit about drums... XD I would like to play drums again after watch this XD
on, a może ona... ?
Aksel Holmgren was defenetly the best!🤘💯 Fantastic playing 👀
Sweeet! I always wanna play air cymbals to this song
this makes me wanna learn to play the drums and become as good as him
he is the best for the band
Dark perfection!
Best seat in the place.
