This man’s playing is eclipsed by his heart. Not asking for money directly to him, but if you got the disc or video on the internet for free, to donate what it’s worth to you to a charity. That speaks volumes of his character.
I've always heard about Gene, not realy familiar with him. That is the thing that stood out to me about him, he seems like a real good dude, prob one of the nicest guys around.
Gene NEVER gets the respect he deserves. Anytime there’s a “greatest drummers” list put out by anyone, he is rarely ever mentioned. CRIMINALLY underrated and under appreciated 🤘🏻😈🤘🏻
@@kimhoffmannandersen5477 Fair point; most of the time, those “top drummer” lists aren’t even put together by actual drummers/musicians; let alone those who actually know and appreciate heavy music. That comment was more for those people and less for those of us that know better lol. When I say “criminally underrated”, I was talking in the grand scheme of things. Of course we in the metal community know and respect his chops. 🤘🏻😈🤘🏻
@@petarpavasovic6333yeah and the pedal thing is a myth too. i’m a good drummer but my mate james plays in decapitated and he wears vans and plays iron cobras at silly high speeds so
@karlarmitage9406 Hell yeah! I got to see a DTA tour as well! Quite a few years ago now. 2010s. They played the Human album in full. It was incredible. What an excellent way to keep Chuck's legacy going. RIP Chuck. I got the Spiritual Healing logo tattooed on my forearm. It was released the year I was born.

I don’t think there is a huge difference in age between me and gene, but he reminds me of a weird zen like master grandpa, just brimming with wholesomeness, niceness and drumming chops. I aren’t even a drummer and I get my pull if this. He’s just a master musician and a jolly nice fellow all round.
No matter what band he's in you know its the atomic clock, hands down the most tasteful and influential death metal drummers. The Neil Pert reference makes so much sense.
One of the most ingenious and inspirational drummers of all time. Play (or try to play) any of the songs on Symbolic and try to realise what it takes to come up with this stuff.
I bought this DVD years ago the extras are great too, he talked about his kit and his pedals and how he once mounted a metal boat propeller onto his kit and used to play it
@@unkind78 its also on the symbolic album recorded in one of the songs, can't remember which one... but I think he mentions in the extras as this is on youtube down the rabbit hole.
I love the that he is truly left handed and footed! Very noticeable when he does his warm up routine. His left hand has no problem with increasing the BPM. When he comes back to the right hand, he marginal decreases the speed. Just an observation. He is a lefty, no doubt.
this is one amazing man, what a big heart and possibly the best drummer ITW, deff the GOATdrumming and looking like eeeeh its just another day relaxed and brutal
Ty so much Gene it’s amazing I used the leg weights listening to Slayer laying in bed as a kid when I first heard death my mind was blown ! Great lesson here allot of great lessons !
He have a lot of power and volume using 90%of time only wrists. Absolutely a master.i think he is the most relaxed metal drummer in history. He get out a lot of volume and power only use wrists.
29:47 a common thread in Gene's talks is the ease of his strength... like "i just keep the weights on, its comforting..." I think this air drumming might be a beastly reason. I'm often playing on pillows but air is even less rebound
Guess you didn't stick around till the end... 1:24:35 "I Love AC/DC" By Hoglan Pretty sure it was written just for the DVD intro and not an official song.
I don't know but I really want the answer bc it's very good ! It really sound like dark angel but i think it's a solo compo bc I get all of DA records and it's not in any of them
@@michaelarlotto9405 that’s why I think it sounds liken Dark Angel because Gene writes guitar riffs for them. I know it’s not a Dark Angel song. Gene being the humble guy he is probably decided not to credit himself for it
Thanks for the homework and inspiration! You remind me of a kid in a candy store! Your ergonomics are amazing! When I play anything close to the tempo you are at or style, I have to wear nothing but shorts and I pour sweat after just 5-10 minutes. How are you doing this without sweating? So smooth! Showing the human side of music is also one of my favorite things to see and show. I hate that I miss notes or make mistakes, but we all come from knowing nearly nothing when we start playing, so making mistakes makes me laugh more now than feel introspective. Many of the times the human factor, mistakes, and feel that doesn't line up with traditional interpretation are what makes us us. Great playing! I'll put "Native Blood" and everything else off Dark Roots of the Earth by Testament at the top of the heap. I'm sure all of your other bands and endeavors are equally amazing, but I haven't had time to listen to them all yet.
There's only one gene hoglan and just about my favorite drummer of all time........ and the only one that is as fast on double bass, and with combat boots no less
literally the holy grail of metal. 0 ppl know what band, 0 ppl know what song. all we know is that gene drummed the track. if you can find anything, you will have found what is pretty much an ancient metal artifact lost to time.

17:34 " I'm a really lazy drummer, i like to make everything really easy "
Plays with boots and weights
This man’s playing is eclipsed by his heart. Not asking for money directly to him, but if you got the disc or video on the internet for free, to donate what it’s worth to you to a charity. That speaks volumes of his character.
He is known to be one of the nicest guys in metal.
He rocks as hard as he gives!
Work hard , play hard!
how so? the outcome for him is the same either way
it's called virtue signalling, and you fell for it.
@@garbagemancanwhat a nice thing to say

what are 12 years old?
It's okay the metal community knows how great he is. That's what counts
@@kikiokiki6788you dissing the hog???
@@ryonmurphy3797 my point is people my age worship the guy. perhaps it's different in the younger generation?
Gene Hoglan wore such a heavy boots and drum accurately AF. Mind blown.
Doesn't really matter what you wear as long as you have good technique
@@petarpavasovic6333yeah and the pedal thing is a myth too. i’m a good drummer but my mate james plays in decapitated and he wears vans and plays iron cobras at silly high speeds so
“Tons of double bass and tons of groove and taste” Gene Hoglan
This has to be THE most unusual footwear on a drummer I've ever seen.
Gene Hoglan is such a great drummer and an even greater person. He's so nice and down to Earth.
His playing was so ahead of our time and unbelievably good.
Gene is a legend. Watched him perform for 3 bands in one night. Absolutely legendary.
I saw him play for 2 bands one night. I want to say it was SYL and Opeth.
Incredible talent
Seen him in dark angel Death and Death to all always amazes me so talented 🤟

Great to see Gene still kicking ass!! We went to high school together in Long Beach. Love you brother.
That’s awesome. I wish I could have went to high school with him. I’m sure we would have been friends.
I wish I could say I went to school with Gene. I’m sure we would be friends.

He’s just a master musician and a jolly nice fellow all round.
He's so sickeningly good...so few of us will ever get anywhere near his playing...he's insane, a legend.
No matter what band he's in you know its the atomic clock, hands down the most tasteful and influential death metal drummers. The Neil Pert reference makes so much sense.
Gene seems like one of the coolest people on the planet.
Undoubtedly the most interesting sounding Metal drummer to date. His beats just speak with the rest of the music.
One of the most ingenious and inspirational drummers of all time.
Play (or try to play) any of the songs on Symbolic and try to realise what it takes to come up with this stuff.
God level drummer and character,absolute legend
Gene Hoglan seems so kind the way he talks
I don’t play drums but this was awesome to watch the drummer of my favorite band “Dark Angel “🤟🏽
I brought this on DVD when it first came out from Gene's website. This guy is an incredible drummer and a very nice person too.
I love Genes kit. That deep snare sounds really good.
He is the Bob Ross of drumming.
Absolute BEAST on the drums!! Nicest man you would ever want to meet!!
Speechless. Literally fricken speechless praise hail hoglan
Gene is amazing. One of the best metal drummers in history and a really nice guy on top of it!
Thank you so much, finally, because this didn't get released in my country!🙏 You are a true DRUMMING LEGEND, Gene! 💪Lots of love, from India!👏👌
Swear, this guy one the most amazing humans.
18:55
Carcass, Cannibal Corpse and Strapping Young Lad. I now know where I'm going if I had a time machine
One of the coolest guys on the planet!
I bought this DVD years ago the extras are great too, he talked about his kit and his pedals and how he once mounted a metal boat propeller onto his kit and used to play it
You can see that propeller in Philosopher video and in live videos from Death from that era.
@@unkind78 its also on the symbolic album recorded in one of the songs, can't remember which one... but I think he mentions in the extras as this is on youtube down the rabbit hole.
Super accomplished, chops are ridiculously good and he remains humble. What a star! Thanks Gene for this amazingly inspiring video
Gene Hoglan is a living leyend.
THAT'S, a f**king opening. I will 100% be doing that. Top shelf dude.
I love the that he is truly left handed and footed! Very noticeable when he does his warm up routine. His left hand has no problem with increasing the BPM. When he comes back to the right hand, he marginal decreases the speed. Just an observation. He is a lefty, no doubt.
Funkiest blast beats I've ever heard. Brilliant drummer.
The most down to earth guy ive ever known. Almost like he is high all the time
Good on you, Gene. Great suggeation. I just donated to Focus on the Family, Heritage Foundation, the National Right to Life, and the NRA.
Legend 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Briliiant!
What a phenomenal video. Those warm up exercises are incredibly effective.
You are an absolute unit Gene.
this is one amazing man, what a big heart and possibly the best drummer ITW, deff the GOATdrumming and looking like eeeeh its just another day relaxed and brutal
DAMMIT I LOVE THIS! GENE HOGLAN IS A BLACKENED GOD!
You'd think he'd be lighter with all the work he puts in.
Ty so much Gene it’s amazing I used the leg weights listening to Slayer laying in bed as a kid when I first heard death my mind was blown ! Great lesson here allot of great lessons !

El baterísta bueno toca de muñeca a lo jazz 🎺
check out nick barker from old dimmu, he was an animal too
29:47 a common thread in Gene's talks is the ease of his strength... like "i just keep the weights on, its comforting..." I think this air drumming might be a beastly reason. I'm often playing on pillows but air is even less rebound
What a dude :)
Thank Hoglan 4 all !!!!!
Джин на столько крутой, что может играть даже в пижаме)
He's an amazing drummer, makes all these slamming groves look effortless and they sure aren't!! Shit you beatbox with your mouth he can do by foot!!!
55:15 🤩Wow, Gene is even a funk machine 🤘🏻Great Video, thx4 sharing 👍🏻👋🏻
Just my favourite drumer in thrash...
lovely footage by the master
Awesome great drummer
Slave to the blip! What a legend
Boots and ankle weights is just a slap in the face....
24:56 best part
Those SYL Dr. Martens boots are so badass.
¿En alguna parte del video 📹 toca con pesas por encima de las botas 👢?
Does anyone have the Extras? It’s a run down of the kit he plays and talks about the pedals he uses? I’d love to see it!
best snare sound ever
He's a legend.... Nothing short
Damn how could you put this on TH-cam, breaking genes heart
Gods of metal, i met Gene, Giant with the biggest heart, , super down to Earth man ,THANKS GENE YOU ET THE STANDARD FOR ALL
Excellent.
Gene is a Legend
Powerful
Gene Hoglan is one of those drummers who have a signature sound. Sooooo fucking good. So much work over the years.
I’d be honored if anyone stole my licks!
Amazing video. Stellar drumming.
What an awesome human being.
that snare is 10/10
TT Master Gene Hoglan
Hell yeah, our local Dallas boy!
One of the coolest humans I have ever met. Amazing drummer I'd love to jam with.
Name of the first song? thank you.
song from the intro is called "i love acdc" by mechanism but it literally does not exist anywhere else except this video, correct me if im wrong
What’s the name of the first song he plays on this video?
Guess you didn't stick around till the end...
1:24:35
"I Love AC/DC" By Hoglan
Pretty sure it was written just for the DVD intro and not an official song.
The hardest working man in metal. Seems to be one of the nicest as well. \m/
Whats the song called at the beginning? At 0:30
got this dvd when it came out 👌🏻
I love when drummers show that proper technique means you can wear fucking boots when you play.
Anyone know what song he is playing in the beginning Intro?
That's SICK!!
does anyone know the song Gene plays in the intro? Band, album, title?
It sounds quite Dark Angel like to me. It might be a solo song with him on guitar. He is the main songwriter in that band, along with Jim Durkin
I don't know but I really want the answer bc it's very good ! It really sound like dark angel but i think it's a solo compo bc I get all of DA records and it's not in any of them
@@michaelarlotto9405 that’s why I think it sounds liken Dark Angel because Gene writes guitar riffs for them. I know it’s not a Dark Angel song. Gene being the humble guy he is probably decided not to credit himself for it
a lot of the music from this dvd is from Mechanism, his main gig at the time of filming
Una joya!
Happy holidays to you
I am going to donate thank you for giving me an excuse Gene Hoglan!:D
Jeff from Carcass IS a sardonic SOB, thats why we love him!
The intro song is from Mechanism,.called.. i love ac/dc ... a instrumental made for this DVD... unfortunately its nowhere to be found
Gene is a fucking beast !!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

You can watch this on YT, but you can't eat the little chocolate Gene Hoglan candies that came with the dvd! Lol love you Gene!
Dead ass?
One very zen dude
