@@neilmaccanbell9813 Well yes but only because they manufactured on a larger scale before Tama did. So their endorsements were more attractive and they definitely used social media earlier on. Ive always been Tama until they went to China. Im not paying MIJ prices for MIC lol at least Pearl went to Taiwan and still makes kits in the US. But Tama is definitely a renowned prog/metal brand. It just sucks you can only get MIJ drums if you shell out for a Star kit or find a exported MIJ starclassic maple.
Well, TAMA will definitely want their money’s worth from David, exposure wise, after supplying him with that drool worthy 9 piece kit. Mind you, the most costly components in his setup would have to be his plethora of extremely exxy Murat Diril cymbals. Edit : They can set you back in excess of $1000 a piece!
This is just next level playing! How the hell are these young guys this good and how is it humanly possible to play like this?. Maybe I should have sold my soul to the Satan.🤔
When I was a kid and I started playing over fifteen years ago, dream theater was the technical goal to achieve for me. Now I look at these guys and the music they play nowadays and it feels like learning a dream theater song is equivalent to learning an ACDC or a kiss song seemed to be back then.
@@king-manu2758 Exactly... it's truly remarkable what the human body can achieve. If we played like this when we were young we would have been famous for sure, now it seems to just be the norm.
@@SmallSoldier He's famous today because he plays like this :D it's completely uncommon in 2022 to have this level. The thing is, with internet and plateforms like youtube, we have access to the best musicians and we watch them rather than the vast majority of "regular" musicians. We are becoming used to see perfection like this by the few 1% and tend to forget the 99% that are really good but not that good. It's still amazing and incredibly hard to manage to play Dream Theatre in 2022 !! we just forget it because we only watch the bestest :D But it's also true that there is this thing of learning in the tracks of our elders and what was new and difficult for them becomes easier with time because they had time to debunk and decompose the technics and transmit them in a more understandable way to the younger generations. Sorry for this long and not really structured answer... My 2cts.
@@king-manu2758 Except no drummer can play Learning To Live as the album version XD Technical speed is different than what technical ability DT requires.
The 32nd notes at that tempo alone at the 4:00 mark were simply impressive to say the very least.. Then the winding down to 16th note triplets and finally 16th notes and out was a real nice touch.. Seemed very natural.. Stellar performance..
Good lord. This is some of Obscura's fastest material to date and David is just blazing through these tracks like a world class act. The amount of techniques and changes being applied in this song is absolutely mind melting. On a beautiful Tama kit. David's performance is just top notch.
@@berenjarrett4210 ill be catching Obscura tonight actually! Unfortunately I don't think David will be on this tour I believe they're having Gabe Seeber fill in and pull a double duty this tour. Im excited to catch them with this lineup
@@thedruidzmademe666 also i'm interested if Muenzner plays the solo in Akroasis(or the other songs he didn't play the solo) or does he just do his own stuff like Trujillo did at first
It's always great to see my favourite drum company showcase one of my favourite drummers. The accuracy and agility of David is a sight (and sound) to behold. Truly a monster in his field.
At 1:35 that use of up note ska/Copland like style (on the stack) in concert with his straight forward footwork is by far in my opinion the best show of his chops and ability to make the ordinary, extraordinary.
I forced myself to learn it for my playing after obsessing on french grip for a long time. Can confirm. Can play faster for longer and it just opens up other avenues in your playing with time
Deffo check out Wanja Groger, he uses push pull aswell, also does an extremely strange foot technique, using heel toe but playing singles instead of doubles
You Tube’s notifications have let me down. I have this dude on the highest defcon alert possible... yet, nothing. Mesmerising playthrough with the surgical precision of a neurosurgeon. I wouldn’t even listen to OBSCURA if David wasn’t the drummer. Musically brilliant, but just not what arouses me. Edit : Loved Sebastian’s work with them also.
His ability to go in and out of the push/pull technique with his left hand while maintaining that level of accuracy and power is completely nuts. Never seen anything like it.
Fuckin Heil brother! I've been an absolute fan for years and despite having come to terms that I'd never witness your brutality live, LO AND BEHOLD you and Obscura are coming to San Diego in about a week's time. I can't fucking wait and stoked is nothing short of an understatement!
And this... is extreme metal drumming. The majority of the people who are subscribed to this channel won't appreciate the skills of David. Simply because they are not be used to "such amount of noise".
Amazing Drumming as Always but and the rest bands musicians are incredible with fantastic musical ideas!!Of course is Extreme Metal but at his bests!!!
My heart breaks that I did not have a chance to see you live last fall. Any chance for A Valediction tour in Europe this fall? (If so, please don't skip Hungary!!!)
Isn't it great that both death metal and black metal drummers have really pushed the envelope with fast but comfortable hand and foot techniques! Thanks to METAL!
David Diepold, you are the God of Drums. Obscura is lucky to have you as a part of the band.
Nooooooo That would be Neil Peart...
Unfortunately Neil isn't here any longer
@@XXXCRSPL 😢
@@RCSkunkWorX Neil is legend forsure but watching David play metal like this sets the bar so high for where I’m at on the drums. Insane.
Neil Peart could never play that, even half speed lol
Diepold's precision is unmatched
Well done Tama, getting a extreme drummer on their official channel
I had to double check it’s not the german channel, this is crazy !
Tama does dominate in Metal XD

David's ease of facility is ridiculous!! He never looks stressed or struggled. Probably the finest tuned drummer Ive ever seen.
I hate how easy this looked for him.
just another Wednesday for David
The best song from "A Valediction"! Veeeeeeryyyy nice!

Insane!! I've never seen such amazing double kick patterns played so accurately !!
Amazing drumming! One of the best!
Phenomenal as always! Honestly I would of not picked anyone else but David to take over for Sebastián in Obscura!
I like the push-pull on the blast beats... feel like I don't often see that
apparently it’s also the healthiest way to play fast
I forced myself to learn it for my playing after obsessing on french grip for a long time. Can confirm. Can play faster for longer and it just opens up other avenues in your playing with time
@@PyroLegend1 Push-pull can be played using french grip, american grip or german grip

@@TheRozzleNozzle Wanja can play heel toe with one foot at 250 bpm, that's crazy

2:15 that sudden melodic assault YES!
David has really leveled up Obscura, which is really saying something. Fuck yeah man
I got my tickets for the march show in Portland Oregon I can't fckn wait to see David live
This is the song where the band told David to go absolutely nuts.
Tama star drums just sound the best
That push-pull blast technique is so satisfying to watch.
Probably album of the year for me and this song and the drumming definitely sits at the top!
absolutely insane - you have to love it !
Fantastic drumming and drummer...
Everytime I hear you drum I fall in love. You have mastered your craft and now you using push/pull is it's even better. Thank you.
Great sound of drums!!
OMG!!!!!!! what a crazy sound !!!!!! i love this drum! 👊🤟🤟🥁
When the start song playin, feels like im holding my breath til the end song. Sick🙌🏼
The Goat of modern tech death drumming, so dam clean
MIND-BLOWING
That left hand push pull has evolved into freakish form.
That fill at 2:43!
Absolutely awe inspiring! 😧
Sheeesh, we need more videos like this one!!!
Checkout his original channel then 👍

Beautiful 😍😍😍🤘🤘🤘
Amazing !

🤘🥁🤘 love Tama I use my 2005 StarClassics on the road got the British racing green MIJ
A melhor bateria do Mundo 🥁 Tama 🥁
The brand of the drums is not relevant when there's a good drummer behind the kit.
And this... is extreme metal drumming. The majority of the people who are subscribed to this channel won't appreciate the skills of David. Simply because they are not be used to "such amount of noise".
Preach brother!
Amazing Drumming as Always but and the rest bands musicians are incredible with fantastic musical ideas!!Of course is Extreme Metal but at his bests!!!
Du bist einfach der krasseste Drummer 🤘
Es ist ein Fest 😀
Todo cena ou cenário de metal extremo esse cara tá envolvido, simplesmente o melhor da atualidade.
mas os caras são lambreovos do eloy casagrande affff
Gorgeous push pull technique!
Those shell finishes!! 🔥 🤤
AMAZING MIRACLE
It may not be my style of music, but this guy is amazing with speed and technique.
WOW what a machine 🤘🏼
This band kicks ass
Phenomenally 🙏🙏🙏
not human! wow!
This proves that it's not strength, it's a way...
SICK. 🤘🏻
man, that's so nice of playing.
I can CONFIDENTLY say that he is one of the best black metal drummers of all time. In my opinion one of the best drummers of all time.
Is this when David are still under the training of push-pull technic for his right arm?
Too good. Damn 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Absolute machine!
My heart breaks that I did not have a chance to see you live last fall. Any chance for A Valediction tour in Europe this fall? (If so, please don't skip Hungary!!!)
What a killer sound!
Bro you are insane.
Insane. He inspired me to sell my drum kit.
Also I really love the last Obscura album, so glad they reunited with Christian Münzner and Jeroen Thesseling, both incredible musicians.
Ispired you to sell your drums. 🤣
🔥Krása🥁🤘🔥🥁🔥
Be a a Metal drum hero. You're doing it right.
Dude…wow…
SICK🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Isn't it great that both death metal and black metal drummers have really pushed the envelope with fast but comfortable hand and foot techniques!
Thanks to METAL!
Tama aways was my dream to have one
Amazing drumming! Is he using the Startphonic Copper snare?
impréssionant!
Surely the double ride thing is an homage to The Rev? Would love if it was!
Its his own leauge, period

WE NEED AN INSTRUMENTAL VERSION OF AN ALBUM
Это фантастика!!! Мне кажется - это Паганини на ударных...Потрясающе...
Yasss!!!
I personally feel like Hannes and Sebastian brought a level of nuance that's missing here.
Great t-shirt....I have it 😊👍🏻
WOW!!!!😳😳😳😳
Wowwww!!!
The double kick at 3:15 🎉
Mierda, es una máquina este tipo .
Incredibilis
Hooooolyyyyy shit! 🔥🤘🏼🔥
Brutal \m/
Best on the planet
I would love to see a challenge with David, Lord Marco and Prewett. And maybe Adam Bjork or the guy from Signs of the swarm. I think David can win
Wth man... This doublebass is insane. 💀
What a god..
Fireball was yesterday
Whisky Tango Foxtrot! What insanity was that? Somebody get a DNA sample, he’s not human!
Killer
