I was born the same year as Nils and grew up in the same small city in Northern Sweden. I've seen him drum for 25 years and he's been equally insane all the time. I saw him drum for Chastisement, Souldrainer, early Aeon and so on and he was always like a machine.
Lots of extreme metal drummers are fast and precise. What makes Dominator stand out is the power of his tom fills, even at high speed. Because he's hitting the toms so hard,. you hear each individual note even when they're coming really fast.
I've seen them live a couple of times. 🤘🏼 Trust me... the whole set goes like that. 😅 Thanks for respecting the music and the musicians, even if it's extreme and not common. ❤
A bit late to the party. You can clearly see his knees go up and down all the time, which means he is using hip flexor muscles, and not calves like you would in heal-toe.
From sweden, he has a brother that plays drums in another band, so i guess it's in the family. Loved this band when i was younger, still listen to them now and then, but drum cam nail them to the cross is by far my fav
Thank you for following my recommendation. I saw dark funeral several times ... Nils is one of the most creative drummers in the black metal genre. Amazing drummer!
@@ColbyFultonDrums Check out the other video I recommend you. Lord Marco - a blindfolded video (I don't know the song) but he plays unbelievably fast and clean!
I saw this band live last year. They bring it so hard! Swedish Black Metal just really does it for me. They're a crazy band, I bought their hoodie immediately after the gig.
Amazing isn't he? Dominator is my favorite Drummer.. I've been going to see him perform live for years and he still leaves me floored every time.🤘🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🤘
I love Black Metal, been listening to it since I was 10 years + laugh at the drumming, just based on how fast the drumming is. It always blows me away.
Great band! Saw them in 2004 here in Ukraine, great concert! Nils is one of my favorite drummers in heavy music, but he joined the band 2 years after I saw them live! In 1998 they had a tour with Cannibal Corpse, wish I was there)))
They just toured with them last year maybe.?? or roughly a year ago? I never got to see them with their original vocalist, but I’m just really glad I got to see them after so many years !!! they’ve been such an incredible bad for such a long time!! When Nils left I was blown away that they could find anyone that could play the songs that he composed for them! I’m a guitarist and when you look at his compositions, they are just really good!!!
Theyre pretty cool people. I got to meet them in 2019 before a show with their newest drummer. Nils is amazing and their newest drummer is just as amazing. They have a new video with their current drummer for Nail Them To The Cross. I dont know what my favorite song is, maybe When Im Gone since its in contrast to their faster songs. Really enjoy all of them though.
I’m so happy that you came across this in your life! :) Unchain my soul is a really cool song! But it’s drummer as well as their current drummer. Both phenomenal… granted they’ve always had some pretty unreal drummers!
Have seen them a couple of times. Last time couple of months ago in Antwerp. Always a great show. One of the best and purest black metal bands out there. Hail Satan!
Dominator is good, like, really good, but check out Hellhammer from Mayhem. I'm wasn't ready to see someone play four different rhythms, one with each limb, but well, he kinda does.
It seems like none of the comments understands that his career as a death metal drummer began with a small band called Aeon. I can recommend "Forever Nailed" by Aeon. Enjoy ;)
Pretty sick. I'm not a drummer, it seems like he only uses single stroke rolls so no really technical stuff, but still amazing what he does with it. I don't know how you'd play technical at that blazing speed anyway. Probably his feet are the most technical thing.
Dude what's in your ear!? Is it a..., Idk but it's shiny.. oh well, he's digging this Beast of a drummer.. Great reaction bro. This Nils dude is outa this World.., Fantastic!
there is 2 other drumcams thats pretty fresh, Nordjevel - within the eyes(live dominator drum cam) and Nils "Dominator" Fjellström - Standard Nordland that are dope aswell :)
Please please PLEASE! do more reactions to the dominator! He doesn't get nearly enough love! He is kind of a freelancer as he belongs to several bands. He has some old drum cams out there, but about a year ago he made his own channel with a bit more pro setup. Please give those a reaction too!
you should watch a drum cam from the Drummer of Absu. he sings and play at the same time. its a Black Metal band as well from the US. he is disgusting on drums as well. his name is Proscriptor.
I have to make a critique. You didn't give your audience much commentary besides "Wow, he's fast". Come on, dude. Maybe give some thought on his technique, his style, his drum setup etc. Did you notice that he uses his fingers during blast beats but switches to full wrist motion on tom rolls? He does this to get more power since the toms are quieter. He also plays double strokes when doing snare rolls. Check out Jamie Saint Merat from the band Ulcerate. He's the best metal drummer of the last decade, IMO. The guy has all the qualities a metal drummer could want in spades. Precision, speed, endurance, power with lots of chops, dynamics and a signature distinct style that is very musical. th-cam.com/video/Tg5w5j78iDQ/w-d-xo.html
There's literally nothing more to say about his playing. He isn't doing anything that's hard to play or worth mentioning other than playing fast. Same thing with the Ulcerate drummer.

now imagine playing a whole set like that
😪
In heavy duty boots.
He plays songs as fast as this for over an hour, and look at the armor he wears, the boots, it's a level above.
Lots of extreme metal drummers are fast and precise. What makes Dominator stand out is the power of his tom fills, even at high speed. Because he's hitting the toms so hard,. you hear each individual note even when they're coming really fast.
Yeah Nils' fills are something else. Its like he is hitting them with hammers not sticks
He actually switches to from fingers to full wrist-motion when he plays the toms. That's why his tom fills sound so awesome and powerful.
Arguably makes it more impressive that he manages to perfectly switch between techniques seamlessly@@zubiac
@@zubiac even more impressive imo.
I've seen them live a couple of times. 🤘🏼 Trust me... the whole set goes like that. 😅
Thanks for respecting the music and the musicians, even if it's extreme and not common. ❤
Nils plays with combat boots. No heel toe there 😂
Yup 😂
Jeez!
I was gonna say... Hes the single stroke king imo. No doubles anywhere. Wenja is the double king imo.
A bit late to the party. You can clearly see his knees go up and down all the time, which means he is using hip flexor muscles, and not calves like you would in heal-toe.
He is using heel toe tho

Thank you for following my recommendation. I saw dark funeral several times ... Nils is one of the most creative drummers in the black metal genre. Amazing drummer!
He is great!
@@ColbyFultonDrums Check out the other video I recommend you. Lord Marco - a blindfolded video (I don't know the song) but he plays unbelievably fast and clean!
The velocity he hits with at such high bpm is just absolutely unreal
He does this for a whole show... Constantly on point.
I saw this band live last year. They bring it so hard! Swedish Black Metal just really does it for me. They're a crazy band, I bought their hoodie immediately after the gig.
Amazing isn't he? Dominator is my favorite Drummer.. I've been going to see him perform live for years and he still leaves me floored every time.🤘🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🤘
Never even heard of this band, but my goodness this guy is amazingly quick! 🤯
Seen them live 3 times… He leaves my jaw hanging down each time
Dark Funeral is one of my favorite Black Metal groups.
Awesome
I love Black Metal, been listening to it since I was 10 years + laugh at the drumming, just based on how fast the drumming is. It always blows me away.
Check out his drum cam video playing Celestial Deconstruction with the band 1349. Absolute insanity

People in metal are always so chill and down-to-earth.
I’m so happy that you came across this in your life! :)

I love to watch him in The secret of the black art, he is amazing.
If you get on Martyn javonovic drum technique academy all these drummers are on there tell their secrets
I need to learn the secret
@@ColbyFultonDrums I would say for me push playing to the music, play on a pillow, and stick control book with a metronome work up.
Hell yeah Dark Funeral is badass. Got to see them twice. Headbanging and moshing throughout their set. King Antichrist is a brutal track. 🤘🏾HAIL
Awesome!
Accuracy. Holy shiddddd
My dark desire is favorite song by dark funeral. But they’ve been around in Sweden since the 90’s
Mine too
We used to get the dj heavy metal malcome to play that in the Georgian theatre Rock night in Stockton England in the late 90s. Headbanging drunk ha ha
Favourite band, favoruite drummer. Welcome to the real metal world
He probably can do anything any drummer can do think about it!
He is playing with heavy combat boots. Don’t forget that.
😮
The drummer says hold my bar full of everything.
Yes, he's absolutely amazing 🤘🏻🔥😄
Dominator is good, like, really good, but check out Hellhammer from Mayhem. I'm wasn't ready to see someone play four different rhythms, one with each limb, but well, he kinda does.

Their best song - Ravenna Strigoi Mortii
I've never heard of this band. They sound great
when someone calls your drums fake in your album and suddenly nils pulls up
👌🏻🤘🏻
Idk if anyone's suggested him yet but Baard Kolstad of Leprous is great drummer as well. Should check him out sometime
Pretty sick. I'm not a drummer, it seems like he only uses single stroke rolls so no really technical stuff, but still amazing what he does with it. I don't know how you'd play technical at that blazing speed anyway. Probably his feet are the most technical thing.
Dude what's in your ear!? Is it a..., Idk but it's shiny.. oh well, he's digging this Beast of a drummer.. Great reaction bro. This Nils dude is outa this World.., Fantastic!
I love Dark Funeral \m/ seen the 3 times live.
They don't call him "Dominator" for nothing.
🤘🏻🤘🏻
Nils is one of the nicest gentlemen I’ve had the pleasure of meeting! Check out his newer band Nordjevel. They also kill it!
Monster!
🐐
The wildest thing about him, is he plays in boots. Like ankle high boots.
Check out Hail Murder, also by Dark Funeral.. Faster than this song, 0 missed notes.
I just mentioned this!! Absolutely!! Him playing that song is insane!
If you think this ones fast check out him playing Hail Murder!
fav song "the secrets of the black arts"
Nils "Dominator" Fjellström -The Fevered Lands Playthrough Axis
🤘🏻🤘🏻
there is 2 other drumcams thats pretty fresh, Nordjevel - within the eyes(live dominator drum cam) and Nils "Dominator" Fjellström - Standard Nordland that are dope aswell :)
0:58 Nope. Singles on shortboard pedals lol
You should check out his playtrough of Standard Nordland
Now time to check out Mgla Excercise in Futility V :) or Origin - Saligia.
Please please PLEASE! do more reactions to the dominator! He doesn't get nearly enough love! He is kind of a freelancer as he belongs to several bands. He has some old drum cams out there, but about a year ago he made his own channel with a bit more pro setup. Please give those a reaction too!
Welcom to Dominator's world :)
My favourite song by kiss is Hail Murder
No heal toe 🔥
Check out anything from David diepold ...now he's fast and super clean
I’ll take a look!
@@ColbyFultonDrums he's really good too
Haha. Many reactors are never ready for Nils and his insanity. Just saw him with 1349 a few weeks ago and he hasn't lost an inch...
And he doesn't use heel toe 😉
Oh yes, I like Dark Funeral. In my opinion Angelus Exuro pro Eternus is the best album they have
you should watch a drum cam from the Drummer of Absu. he sings and play at the same time. its a Black Metal band as well from the US. he is disgusting on drums as well. his name is Proscriptor.
React to "Belphegor - Lucifer Incestus" one of the fastest black/death metal track.
Dominator \m/
Think i'm going to jam some Myrkskog.
Love dark funeral and shout out from wisco
my funeral is favorite song by dark funeral
he made a deal with the devil, if he doesnt fill 64 out of 64 parts of every bar his soul will be devoured
Darkfuneral kinda looks like KIZZ 😂
PHENOMENAL, GORGEOUS,FANTASTIC,IS JUST AMAZING!!
😮😮😮😮🤘🤘🤘🤘
Average Swede 😂🤣Haha, it ain't a coincident Nils goes by the name "Dominator" Best drummer all categories 🤘🤘
🤘🏻🤘🏻
Dark Funeral. Dawn no more rises.. off of secrets of the black arts.
……and his most likely wearing cowboy boots during this show. He’s known for that.
Check out Nils in other bands. Aeon, The Wretched End, and In Battle, are some of the better bands.
Try John Longstreth. Drummer of Origin. I'm not comparing the two, just sayin' that John stretches long. Dunno man, English isn't my native tongue. 👻👻
Unfortunately those are.all single strokes. He mentioned he practice on a pad a lot and pillow.
Wow 😮
They look like Kiss ... Ouch! 😅🤘
😂
favorite song?? 666 voices inside!!!
Check
Georges Kolias - Shall Rise Shall Be Dead
I think he uses single strokes on the bass drums, no tricks
Not heel toe with this guy.... he is doing singles.
Just what did he gave up to the demon to play like that?
Kriegsmaschine drummer You check too ;)
not sure this guy understands what is happening here
.

He's fast but in my opinion, it sounds a little sloppy but that's just my opinion
Thanks for the comment!
Best with Nils and drummers alike him Pete Sandoval etc, wearing combat boots while doing it.
Frost also good
