Camille Bigeault - ANATMAN

It is here at last!
I'm very happy and excited today to show you the video I've been working on over the past months. I'm playing "Anatman", a prog-rock composition I wrote starting from a polymeter piece (which you can hear at the beginning). I really hope you will enjoy it!
I cannot thank Tama enough for their trust and huge support.
[Gear detail]
The beautiful Tama kit featured in this video is a Starclassic Maple kit in Emerald Pacific Walnut Burst finish. The snare is a Starphonic Maple.

[Beautiful people]
This video wouldn't exist without all the great human beings below, which I'd like to warmly thank.The guitars you can hear (and this solo at the end) were recorded by the outrageously amazing Pierre Danel. Igor de Ferran recorded the bass part in the blink of an eye. David Castel managed to shape these 36000 stems into a beautiful mixed track. The video was filmed/color-edited through Greg Kozo's artistic eye. The delightful lightings were conceived and managed by Tom Gadonna. The drums were recorded and mixed by Tom Van Den Heuvel. A special thought to Tim, Benoit and Yann at Midilive studios. And a huge thanks to DPA microphones for the incredible partnership!
Last but not least, I'm endlessly grateful to Alain Gozzo and Masaki, without whom this video wouldn't be there.
I'm genuinely grateful to all these people for being part of this project and for everything they've done!

SOOO twisted and absurdly technical and yet so groovy and lovable, what a skill and intelligence to gracefully have a foot in both realms and dancing with them both simultaneously with such ease and synergy. Musical genius is what that is, in addition to being a top tier world class player (obviously). Otherworldly.

[@kristopher2715]

Otherworldly is the exact word I used to describe her to a friend! Indeed, though, huh!

[@emergentform1188]

@@kristopher2715 blows my mind, she does.

[@lukesnyder5637]

Shouted "oh F*CK off" so loudly when I saw the wood block was played with your foot instead of it being part of the backing track that I woke my cat from across the house. Terrific stuff as usual--I could have twice as many limbs and be given 20 years to practice and I'd never be half as good.

[@c3N3q]

🤣 the woman can play 3 different time signatures at once, where you meet on the first every 50 bars or so...

[@Xnorbilicious]

EXACTLY!
I thought "well, it would be more impressive if she would play the woodblock", then the cam showed the feet.... and i nodded in praise ;)

[@silasschue]

Same dude :D

[@SirUncleCid]

This must be your first Camille video

[@chickenbeforeegg]

What came out out of my mouth was "Oh God SHUT UP" hahahaha

[@kristopher2715]

You are unbelievable Camille! An ambassador to music and drumming. So deep. So gifted. Are you even human?

[@CamilleBigeault]

Thank you very much that means a lot to me! Yes I can confirm I'm human 😂

[@AlwaysMakesAFive]

Great job Camille! Great job Camille’s left hand! great job Camille’s right hand! great job Camille’s left foot! great job Camille’s right foot!

[@CamilleBigeault]

😂😂

[@anomymouse5043]

I would encourage Camille to give a raise to them!!

[@thatdrummeroz654]

It's awesome to see Camille getting solid recognition.
She's one of the most multi-talented musicians in the modern music world by far.

[@Diesel_Budgie]

Do you know what you've accomplished here, Camille? You've crafted a miniature percussion concerto - the drums being the warm core of the entire piece, beautifully supported and interplayed by other parts.
I've never seen this style of playing and composition anywhere else. Please realize how truly special this piece is and how great the road forward is if you continue in this style!
If you made an album with music like this, I and many others would listen to it for the rest of our lives. It is that special!

[@Martin_Bernard]

Yes ! We want an album !

[@mikedavidrivera]

If the band "Tool" ever needs a substitute drummer? This girl could kill it!! Amazing drummer!!

[@RoscoeMcGillicuddy]

Fantastic! Great work, and thanks for sharing!

[@theHumanBryno]

This is my first time seeing Camille play and my mind is blown. What a great performance. I had no idea what to expect but it wasn't this.

[@Zavaroth]

FINALLY Camille is getting professional work out there. Incredible composition and beautiful framing- love the varying polyrhythms and intricate layering. That wood block is the most subtle of flexes 😊

[@bertberw8653]

Room 8?

[@ArchieBC]

You have been blowing my mind with your polyrhythms and independence videos but I always wondered how you would use those abilities to express yourself musically. Now I get it! That was clinic - level good. Although I suspect you already give clinics. Brava!

[@uli.ilustra]

I’m so glad to discover this after two years of its production. What I mean is that I just watched a genius. Some one who brights around others. It’s so rare to find some one who push forward the limits of any kind of art or knowledge. Lady, this song and the way you played it gave me hope in humanity again. Thank you.

[@CamilleBigeault]

Thank you very much 🙏🙏🥹

[@francoisdelestre1728]

La façon dont tu superposes tes rythmes est magique. On est (presque) perdu mais en même temps on est hypnotisé, captivé. J'ai du mal à imaginer comment un cerveau humain peut réaliser une telle prouesse. Ce morceau est carrément magnifique. Heureux de t'avoir découverte il y a quelques jours sur TH-cam, je me suis abonné immédiatement. Encore ! Encore !

[@claudemiss-nomadsoundsexpe9926]

Je suis à bout de souffle, terrassé par tant de talent, par la précision et l'efficacité ultime du geste, par l'énergie et et la puissance dégagées,... chapeau bas Camille.

[@trailrunner919]

Just found you today in my recommended vids and so glad I did...extremely talented drummer and artist..CHEERS!!!

[@metagordy]

So many beautiful layers. Literally got a bit of a tear in my eyes hearing this. Much love and respect

[@mapextoto]

Quand technicité et polyrythmie riment avec musicalité...merci...tout a déjà été dit dans les commentaires... çà fait vraiment du bien aux oreilles et çà fait plaisir pour toi de te voir avec de si belles conditions : matos, sons, vidéos. Bravo à toi et à toute l'équipe.

[@Undercover21162]

Quel talent ! Technique, indépendance, musicalité... Quel travail il a dû falloir accomplir pour réussir à jouer des choses aussi complexes et les rendre en apparence aussi simples. Incroyable. Et en plus le morceau est très chouette.

[@Bbqripchen]

Holy shit, I think this is the first time I find someone on TH-cam who reaches to Gavin Harrison in terms of drumming. I'm very very amazed by this, amazing work!

[@darrenallison1422]

Not sure quite on that one

[@gregm6894]

Great head tuning and solid, musical performance -- I'm very impressed.

[@El...Presidente]

Amazing performance. The polyrhythmic insanity is jaw dropping! 🤩

[@dagostinoification]

Ce rythme irait très bien chez MAGMA ! Chere Camille ...Superbe jeu avec ces mesures assymetriques en 7 etc....De plus c'est très musical et ambiance percussions ! ça groove bien ! bravo et mes amitiés !

[@TheSPECTRELIGHT]

Just discovered her and I am loving her work!

[@mathiasprobst3359]

Usually I'm the first person to yell "More Cow Bell!!!", but on this recording it distracts from the actual beauty of the drum patterns.
Thank you for this amazing product of discipline, passion and talent!

[@kenji1968x]

Wonderful performance 🎵🎵🎵👍❤️enjoyed your drumming 🙏❤️🎵😊thank you so much my friend and I hope you have wonderful day 🙏❤️😊🎵

[@gianni2022]

A high quality video, an absoulte gorgeous drumset, a nice setup and an extraoverthetopabsoluteinsane drum performance that is killiing it! You are playing in the same league as all the big names everybody here know. Keep on groovin!

[@physics2817]

Blown Away 💨💨💨💨
Putting 4’s on top of 5’s/3’s…Who even thinks of this 🤓😎😎😎
Mentally Exhausting to Watch!! You seem to breeze right thru it ❤️❤️❤️

[@DrumsTillDeath]

I’ve been playing drums for 45 years and watching you tube drum videos for to long.
This was refreshing.
I enjoyed the composition as much as the playing.
Mind blowing technique on par with the big boys.
Gavin Harrison. Mike Portnoy, Danny Carey, Neil Peart come to mind.
10 out of 10

@@dynasticlight8706 yeah, I've seen her Genesis covers are amazing.

I am truly stunned & sitting here with my jaw on the floor. Absolutely brilliant, stunning performance!! You are soooooo good! Oh my gosh!

[@richeichelberg2179]

Excellent skill and sound! Thanks for sharing this with all of us!

I love, that your toms are tuned to the track. great playing!

[@PierreVilleneuve88]

Magnifique performance et flagrante amélioration de la qualité de production. Bravo Camille :-)

[@jaredk300]

Great performance! Perpetual groove, smooth transitions, without being too over the top. ❤

[@obscenery]

I teach a seven year old girl drums and I'm always interested in showing her both women on the kit and people doing creative things musically.
You just absolutely blew my mind! I can't wait to share you with her at our next lesson!
Thank you

[@SmithArodate]

Tuerie. Découverte par le casting de l'Internet Orchestra mais j'avais jamais pris le temps d'écouter plus les compos. J'en ai la chair de poule. Fabuleuse.

[@Mehmnoch]

Merci Camille, c'est vraiment une belle compo, très bien construite. Hâte d'entendre les prochaines, donc tu as un abonné en plus.

[@7770mm]

I ve never seen something more brilliant (and difficult) than this, nice rhythm, discipline and freedom, uncomparable technique.

[@dantemorris2874]

Great rhythms as usual, and awesome song! Those toms sound really nice and warm.

[@daniloballo]

This is perfect! All the complexity of polyrhythms showed so naturally. Hat down for you!!!

[@mikeivy1468]

C’était incroyable ce que tu nous a fais à la baguetterie hier Camille! La p’tite française qui calme un trianon rempli à ras bord de brutes de la baguette… c’était magique.. T’as gagné un fan!

[@BobSchoepenjr]

Fantastic! MASTER of polyrhythm. But more the Music & footage is a piece of art. Thank you Camille.

[@nik_in_the_box]

the sound of this kit, special the toms - is mind blowing! WTF!!!! And the location is also very pretty! Thanks for sharing this!

[@dmitrybogatsky1734]

Perfect complex Drumming! I am rewatching video for the fifth time as an amateur drummer and I think I should take up drums more seriously....BRAVO Camille

[@1ProDiverAdventurer]

Camille as a drummer, everytime I come across your videos and your wonderful use of syncopation in your playing is truly beautiful. Love it, and you never cease to amaze.

[@michaelevans9881]

This rendering is unique and under control at the same timing..you have to listen from the beginning..very little space to win she starts with the ride cymbal and moving into flames ❤is much more than love drummer's

[@cobra1010]

Just beautiful! Everything we see and hear in this video!

[@jrnarvepettersen4083]

LOL. So good. Been enjoying your deep dives down the polyrhytmic rabbit hole a long time. Brutal skills, crossing in to great humour. Thx.

[@sambell385]

The way these drum sound I love that crisp percussionist snapping and popping of the drums👏✌️❤️

Une dinguerie ! Au délà du solo en polyrithmie, le son est vraiment incroyable ! Rythmiquement parlant, j'y pige rien, trop complexe pour mon petit cerveau, mais la vidéo est super quali, aussi bien sur le montage, la prise, que bien évidemment sur le jeu de batterie, bravo !
