#drumteacher #Aborted #KenBedene
I can honestly say besides Ken being the kindest person on earth I can't recall Ken ever making a mistake during the 7 years I've played in Aborted.
Best thing is, I once asked: Hey dude, did you play something different on those fills/breaks last night? Ken answered: "I just improvise it everytime".
I swear seeing water burn wouldn't blow my mind as much as hearing those words.
😲Whoa! Mendel sounding off on his former bandmate! That's some good death metal community right there.
yes, he is a very nice guy, keep up the good work mendel, love you channel as well
This story literally shot Ken to my top fave drummers immediately lol that’s insane 🤯
I can imagine how much fun ist must be to play in a band with that guy
Man I saw you together with Aborted a few years ago in hamburg, germany. That was one of the best and most intense metal live experiences I had in my whole life. Only rivaled by Meshuggah.
Ken's an absolute juggernaut of a musician
💯👌
Ken is one of the best (a drummer’s drummer) and ABORTED never disappoint.
And Flo Mounier from Cryptopsy
@dkonx Word. I worship Steve Asheim like I do Pete Sandoval. They paved the way.
I also rate Max Kolesne from Krisiun,Steve Shalaty from Immolation and Trey Williams from Dying Fetus
@@johnvandenhoeven1356 Yeah man … I especially dig Trey.
@@johnvandenhoeven1356 Agreed … and Darren Cesca (DEEDS OF FLESH ‘Nucleus’) • Janne Jaloma (AEON ‘God Ends Here’) • Spencer Prewett (ARCHSPIRE) • Simon Schilling (MARDUK) • David Diepold (COGNIZANCE / OBSCURA) • Sebastian Lanser (OBSIDIOUS) • Evgeny Novikov (STP) • YuLi from China : YT (HORROR OF PESTILENCE).
Ken is a monster.. And he`s also great on guitar, writes many of their songs!
WOW
WTF?! Are you serious?! I'm just floored right now
He’s by far the best metal drummer I’ve seen live. He plays like that for the whole set.
That's mad Chad
Meh. Estepario can probably play it with one hand.
@@Mp57navy guy does nothing for me at all, boring and gimmicky...
@@Mp57navy I love Esteperiano but I'm pretty certain he couldn't play a whole set with Aborted.
Dude is so incredibly underrated and under recognized in the drum community.
After the eye watering double bass finale:
"I didn't consent to that"
😂😂😂😂😂 well put
🤣🤣
Ken Bedene!!!! his level of relaxation and flow is what I strive for. Check out his double interview on drumtalk with Krimh, great insight!!
Thank you for picking out Ken! Your expression says it all :D. It's insane how skilled he is and makes it look like it's less effort than doing the dishes. There are some clips on youtube where Ken is playing some non-metal grooves if you are interested. Kohlekeller Studio got a video with some melodic stuff and sE Electronics got some demo soundbites.
But fantasic video and reaction! Loved every second of it :)
Thank YOU!
@@AndrewRooneyDrums th-cam.com/video/5WTfJyRAr8M/w-d-xo.html Henker drummer ...
do not thank dude )))))))))))))
Thanks for checking it out, Ken is incredible. I would have preferred the live in studio versions of songs, because the intricacies of his playing become more evident. But this shows his incredible power even better I guess.
Sound quality yes. But this is live!
I am so glad to have seen this, never heard of him, but now I am digging into the band. His playing is top shelf.
You should also watch Flo Mounier, from Cryptopsy. One of the greatest legends in extreme metal drumming.
Thanks for the tip!
Yes! Thank you! As others have said, you can check his studio performance of Bit by Bit! Ken is too awesome to watch just one of his performances.
Thank you!
Ken's fills are so f'in jazzy. I love the way he plays around with accents.
He plays beautiful jazz 🥰❤️
@@NurseMirandaShea Curious if your husband is an extreme metal drummer...?
@@tricialicious1 that’s what he plays professionally. But he plays any style of music well :)
I'm with you Andrew; mind blown. His meter was immaculate. Don't think he even broke a sweat. Awesome review man.
Glad you enjoyed it!
This is one my two favourite bands, the other is Dying Fetus, you also should check out their drummer Trey Williams, 'Homicidal Retribution' has a nice drum cam video
Trey is just NOT OF THIS PLANET when it comes to Extreme Drumming!!!!
Rafał from Drummers from Hell is doing an excellent job - he's drumcams are the best in business!
Kenny Bedene. A skin phenom. We had guitar class together and I saw all his early bands in Chico, CA
OH WOW!!!!
Same bro! Lasalles shows and all the now closed down places lol
Fingers and triggers. Pure technique!
Ken is sooooo good. His swivel might be the best on the planet as well
This is madness
@@AndrewRooneyDrums THIS, IS SPARTA!! ahah sorry
@@t3hgir HAHA
8:00
I love your reaction to that double kick run. It's even better seeing that sort of thing live, when the bass hits people hard enough they can feel it. It's shocking as all hell if you've never experienced it before :lol:
Lol I bet!
My favorite drummer
7:56 this always blows my mind ken is seriously one of the best drummers period 🔥
Nice to hear an honest person ❤❤
Ken is a big inspiration for me. It's awesome to see someone play with single strokes on the kick that fast and that clean. I can only dream of having singles that good one day!
Ken is the grooviest metal drummer I've personally come across! And yeah then there's the speed...
just saw these guys in Mass and they killed it
describing his drumming as dirty and greasy is perfect. perfect and dirty and greasy
8:43 Man, _these_ moments n-e-v-e-r get old 😂! Thank you, Andrew!
Ken is an absolute monster. There's a few nice drums cams from him floating about.
I'm with you Andrew -totally gobsmacked! The music ain't my thing but their creative & skill level is off the charts!
Well, about the topic of triggers, he did actually use triggers for the bass drum but many people don't really know their use and how they work. It's got nothing to do with improving your technique, evening out the hits and stuff like that(cus I've heard people saying that nonsense). Quite the opposite. Triggers let everybody know if you've made a mistake during your performance because they cut through the sound wall of all other instruments.
Their use is purely to make the bass drum hits audible.
Congrats on 100k Subs!!! This guy is a beast, very accurate and calm. Thanks for watching!
Ken the Drum Monster!!
One of the absolute best in Extreme Metal!!
His Drumming is fucking awesome!!!
💀🖤💀🖤💀🖤
Message for Misses Rooney, Christmas is coming up, he needs a double bass drum pedal, the time has come.
HAHA!
Let's see what Santa brings
Wohoo, i suggested this as well. Ken is certainly one of the best extreme metal drummers right now. The crazy thing is too, he is a multi instrumentalist. Big fan if his work and style.
He's lay back guy in his interviews the meanest double bass
7:58 - the most "How on earth...??" face I've ever seen. He is left completely speechless for 35 seconds.
HAHA!
Love it.. I was looking forward for this reaction since years.. Ken can play guitar on a very high lvl as well.
Oh wow!
Drums, guitar, bass, I got a violin for him as a joke to see if he’d be good at it and the dude picked it up - having never touched one before - and I swear to God he played it beautifully. He writes a bunch of music, including non-metal stuff, too. 😊 As talented a human as he is, you’d be even more surprised by how down to Earth and really kind he is… you’d never know that talent resides in him w his humility. Such a gem. 💎❤
@@NurseMirandaShea wow thats incredible! We are truly lucky to have Ken making music for us.
@@NurseMirandaShea I believe you. I spoke with Sven at a Show and he also said the he writes many of the new Aborted Songs as well.. he is a freak
This video should be an equal to “Rapper watches Paganini performance” 😂
I was watching those crazy drummers for ages. I’m watching you and your reactions for 2 years. No matter what - Ken is on another level and your face expression admitted this.
Like, let’s take an extreme athletic endeavor and sprinkle in a liberal amount of finesse and musicality, mmm’kay?
This was incredible
Ken amazing❤️👌
Amazing reaction video Andrew if you’re looking for another extreme metal drummer I recommend checking out Eugene Ryabchenko he plays for Fleshgod Apocalypse and check out the song The Violation.
I have known Ken since he was born, from Chico, Ca. Shout out to friemds. I agree with you on the caliber of talent Mr Bedene has. His dsd, Frankie Swa Bedene is also a very tslented musicisn. Ken can play all forms of music and can play all instruments that are needed to make rock n roll. Ive been amazed watching for along time. Not only is Ken a great drummer but he is a solid person in every way. Thank you for highlighting Ken. Happy New Year!!
Lets start a go fund me to buy Andrew an double pedal :)
HAHAHAHA
Finally...the video that I suggested before. Tq dude!!!
Check out Kevin Paradis from Benighted. Pretty crazy 🍻
He uses the Swivel technique on his double kick. Can't tell more about this but you got the name 😂
Ken looks like he's about to fix your computer. He's about as realxed behing the kit too, he could probably do it at the same time.
Ken is the man. Great drummer and great guy.
Just like the Red Arrows they go straight over my head and I totally respect their skill and dedication.
👍❤️🤗
Imo, he's one of, if not THE, best all-around drummer out today! He checks all of the boxes. Speed? Check. Technique? Check. Groove? Check. All of it.
i saw him live with aborted a few years ago, didnt know they had a new drummer.. i was COMPLETELY blown away. i was in disbelief that he could play like that!
In other words. GODLY
What. Even. He's a machine 🧊 🥶🥶🥶
I've been a drummer since i was 16, I'm 47 now. It took me the better part of those years to be able to play drums as quick and as technical as this drummer here. I've never seen Aborted live, that'll change this coming june when they tour with a band that dare i say is faster, heavier and more technical in Archspire. I completely understand your astonishment at the skill level of this and every other extreme metal drummer. And yes, I've always been amazed at the fact that this is a human playing this, not a machine or computer. I thoroughly enjoyed your reaction video and your comments during and after this video. Have a very blessed day!
#heavymetalmusicFOREVER
I was at that show. Ken is amazing!
DAMN! How was it Pavel!?
@@AndrewRooneyDrums Great. I saw them 3 times already and every time they were perfect. Ken is killer and look almost bored by playing this extreme fast and brutal staff. And he is nice guy also. I have selfie with him. I met him after this show in crowd when ho goes see another band. I love Butal Assault festival. It is located in a fortress from the 18th century and line up is always awesome. And it is about 20 km from my home! 😉
When you have to just put your head in your hands, and stare blankly at nothing. Priceless.
7:12 is that a freaking samba pattern on the ride ?
:O pretty much sums it up. Absolute beast, love it!
I felt compelled to give this a like for the Star Wars model alone,not to mention the amazing band
His speed and precision and calmness is obviously amazing, but to me what really makes Ken stand out is that he has the best fills out of any extreme metal drummer I've ever listened to.
His beaters look so long because that's a 20" kick.
Ahhh... but they look to not be hitting centre either
Like his twin kick syncopation. Good to see him make it here.
Your comments on his posture and how relaxed Ken Bedine is makes me think of Zach Hill. My man looks like he's about to seize at any moment behind the kit.
I was in a band that got to open for them and watching him play live feels like life drugs. He's so talented.
Ken and Dobber Beverly are the best at infusing Jazz into their metal. Check out Dobbers work in Malignant Altar 🤘🏼
Got to see him live on Oct 23rd. Ken is absolutely amazing. One of the best
Oh awesome!
@@AndrewRooneyDrums 5 bands played total and they were all great. Ov Sulphur, Angelmaker, Ingested, Aborted, then Lorna Shore headling and out of well over 100+ bands I've seen. LS put on one of, if not the best live show I've seen. A drummer to check out is Ingested's Lyn Jeffs
Ken and Aaron Kutcher are the only drummers I’ve heard whose blast beats don’t drag. They sound like machine guns - which I guess was always the idea!
Brother you have to check out Mike Smith from suffocation. Unbelievably incredible.
Just yum! Makes me want to quit my job and play drums all day! Someday maybe, if our band takes off.
Bit by Bit @ Studio by Ken is great too. Thanks
this dude is a beast, check out the playthrough of "Bit By Bit" for a studio quality video
also congrats on 100k!
I love your reactions to metal drummers, Ken Bedene is an absolute animal 😁
I did not consent to that hahahaha best review ever!
What a cool pick.
Just saw Aborted with Lorna Shore a couple of weeks ago and Ken was absolutely flawless.
Edit: Thumb up number 666 😅 🤘🏻
🤣🤣👌
Saw these guys live aaaages ago during their Goremageddon tour. These guys are beasts live! Glad to see one of my old favourite bands still going strong
My top 3 Drummers!!
Derek Roddy - King of all Kings!! You won't be dissapointed!
You have obviously already done most of the big names and greats in metal so I would like to throw in a lesser known.
Jason bowld, he has played in a variety of styled bands from extreme to even electronic music, bands like axewound , this is menace and my favorite pitchshifter, some of his equipment sponsor demos are mind blowing and some of his drum and bass style videos blew me away, a easy start would be “this is menace- return the favour , drum cam “ though . Or if you can find one of his old drum rom videos
He's got a trigger on his bass drum. I use to do it too. It helps ok. But he's really good!!!
🖖🏻🇫🇷😎🇫🇷😎🇫🇷🖖🏻
You need to watch Evgeny Novikov playing Ouroboros by Slaughter to prevail or just anything by him, hes a madman
Economy of motion! I knew in my playing, I'm working too hard - and this video is proof. This guy absolutely is crushing it without excess movement / wasted energy. Absolutely beautiful. I've seen others with some bits and pieces, but this guy is indeed impressive! Great recommendation and reaction.
Fulcrum - "air in your grip": I have just discovered this. Now on day 20-something of playing Stick Control single beat combinations 1-24 daily, and I have been trying to rid the death grip from my left hand - and now the stick is sliding up, sliding down, and getting dropped. lol. Always awesome when you mention something in a video I am working on - and it is a common problem. nice!
(as an aside, I'm enjoying the Drumeo pad (and sticks (insanely resonant!)) a heck of a lot more than I expected. Great purchase. Thanks for the recommend.)
You can never know all that is METAL 🤘
This is a great reminder that I should be listening to more Aborted, thanks for sharing! You should check out Entheos. They're a different style, but still heavy and technical. Their drummer Navene just put out a drum video for "Absolute Zero" that I'm sure will have all the good angles🤘🏻
Hey Andrew !
You really need to check out Kevin Paradis, this incredible extreme drummer gonna make your day !
Maybe this one is for me the most impressive !
Kevin Paradis - Benighted - Let The Blood Spill Between My Broken Teeth (from SickDrummer magazine)
Thanks ! Geatings from France, I really enjoy your work !
This guy is SO GOOD. Awesome reaction, and please, even if you'll make a reaction video or not, but please check out Ken Bedene rocking out on a tiny 4-piece kit, blasting away. The fill around 1:53 is just plain impossible and gives my tinglies in my happy place. Video here: th-cam.com/video/opXJQ7RcqPE/w-d-xo.html Beast of a drummer.
Groovy as fackkk
Ken is nuts. Spencer Moore of Inferi is an absolute MUST.
You should check out John Longstreth of Origin, another brilliant extreme metal drummer with great style and technique.
Just saw them play in NYC about two weeks ago… its crazy how brutal yet calm he plays. 45 minutes of of being speechless. Well worth the price of a ticket just to see him play and Aborted of course !!!
I believe the youtuber 66Samus compared the cheapest used double-kick pedals he could get his hands on to some more expensive option(s). Too lazy to search for the vid, but I believe the TL;DW version goes something like "you need to get to a certain level to be bothered by the difference, and when at a very high level, the used low-end ones can still do the trick, except for the very most intensive tempos."
If you haven’t checked out Tre Williams, definitely one of my favourite death metal drummers
I'm familiar with this genre and I still have the same reaction as you.
You know I've been away from drums for ages now (no practice room unfortunately) but I've taken up lifting, and this is the equivalent of a guy casually squatting 800 pounds for reps.
I agree with you, the guy seems to have a good sense of groove too. Juicy fills. And indeed it's very rare to witness such double bass speed pulled off live and SO FREAKING CLEAN, as triggers will accentuate any sloppiness.
In regards to the kick drum it may be a 20"not a 22"not sure but that would explain the beaters
A bassist friend of mine who has toured alongside Ken in various bands says the funniest thing is that Ken doesn't really consider himself to be a drummer. Anecdotally, Ken is both a super nice dude but also considers himself to be somewhat more of a guitarist/composer type before he'd consider himself a drummer.
cant believe hes doing ken! now i watch
edit: im quilty of trying to put this and other songs of ken to my friends forcefully. check out Bit by Bit drum play through?
BOOM!
I know you've dabbled in 66Samus, but he actually has a bunch of stuff where he branches out, way out, of his wheel house and its absolutely awesome. Watching blast master general play smooth grooves and classic buddy rich type stuff is great. I think he would totally be down to talk to and collaborate with you. You should really reach out to him. I'll drop some comments his way, too. I know random commenters like me dont have much impact, but it cant hurt. Nice work Rooney.
