Because as TH-cam explains, videos with too low camera quality suffer, but the truth is, too much people pay for followers and likes on their channels to get better started. I didn't and will never! Before I would do that, I would rather close my channel again! But don't worry, for me it's a hobby besides my real musician job, so I don't care, because I don't have to make a living of it! Cheers and big hugs, Thomen
Oh man, I just found out this channel exists! This man was my introduction to thrash style drumming, I remember hearing mirror mirror when I was maybe 14? Introduced me to a whole new style of music
Literally had my jaw dropped for most of that performance! I really don't see how any other drummer could have delivered a better drum track for that legendary song than the one you laid down, as that was absolutely perfect. The professor himself, the great Neil Peart would have been tipping his hat to that amazing display, I feel sure. Wow, is all I can say really! 🔥⭐⚡💥🥁
@@ThomenDrumChamber No problem Thomen, just speaking as I find! And thank you hugely for the reply, your skills have brought so much joy to so many over the years, including me. And from where I'm sitting you've lost absolutely nothing! 😎🔥
Perfection. It made me cry. One of my favorite Blind Guardian songs. So fast the eye can barely catch the movement. I love it! And I love watching you play it! Thank you for this!
Awesome! This is my favorite BG album, and your drums in each and every songsare unbeliavable surreal and powerful! One of my favorites tunes is Age of False Innocence. Thas so cool to hear from you! You rock! Cheers from Brazil.
I'm always jaw-dropped every time I listen to your drum lines at A Night At The Opera. I've never seen anything like that before. Your drums are something from another world in this album.
@@ThomenDrumChamber you really miss BG's compositions. Your way of playing is unique and I can only say that you were born for BG. Savage Circus was a very bold gamble and a very good one too. I miss good things that are no longer done nowadays. Health and long live my friend. Bard's We Are! Bard's We Will Be!
Guitar player here! Thank you for making this video, so more people can appreciate the art behind the drums on Blind Guardian music. Being a fan since1997 shame on me for not knowing about the existence of your channel. Thankfully I've found it. Thank you for your music, it means a lot to me and I'm pretty sure that for other millions of people too. Best regards brother.
Woo! :D It's a shame that you apparently didn't enjoy the "A Night at the Opera" album, Thomen, because your drumming on it is awesome. Your performance on that album is some of my favourite drumming ever. I remember a few times I've listened to the whole album and paying attention to just the drums. :D
No disrespect to Frederick and all, but I miss you and your influence within the band. The sound for me personally was much better with you behind the drums. Keep on rocking!
To be honest, I kind of lost interest after 'A Night at the Opera'. I really tried with 'A Twist' and 'At the Edge', but the songwriting seemed less inspired and the drumming, although very good in its own right, just didn't stand up to previous releases, both in terms of production and power. For me the band reached its creative peak with ANATO.
ANatO is my favorite BG album and your drumming is one of the key elements that make it so powerful and unique! thanks for putting out such brilliant, nostalgic content!
Thomen you are one of my big inspirations on drums. As a Power Metal fan, I always listened Blind Guardian trying to play like you. Thanks for all the songs that you have made.
Es brutal como toca!! En este album la bateria suena increible,es una apisonadora. Despues de este disco la bateria de Blind Guardian no fue lo mismo. Sigue subiendo videos!!! Eres el puto amo!!!
I always feel like saying the same thing whenever I listen to a Blind Guardian song, or any video in the channel: Thomen is a powerhouse. Also melodic too, a rare combination.
Working nightshift and this really lights up the factory 😃so great song and the drumming is off the charts my god, so mighty and powerful drumming 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟now I wanna go home and play my drums 😂Thomen huge thanks for sharing this diamond 🥁🥁🌟🌟🌟👍🙂
One of the best drum ideas i heard from you Thomen. Pure power/prog madness. My favorite album from Blind Guardian. Oh i even know feel excited hearind the tune, the same as when i was a teenager in my middle school days. :)
Thomas is one of the best metal drummers in germany of ever!! I've always loved his drum style since I was 17 years old and I'll never stop to listem him. thank you so much for this great performance. greetings from Italy.
Thank you Thomas you are a legend in the battery of the blind Guardian conductor of the stools show show magnificent showwwwwwww 🤘👍🤘👍👍💯💯💯💯💯👍👍👍💯👍👍💯👍👍👍💯💯💯👍🤘💯🤘👍💯💯👍🤘 💯👍💯
Dude, I'm alerady tired AF and it's not even in the middle of the song. This guy rocks the fuck in this album, one of the best albuns in rock history. I waited years to have a closse look to drums of this song, it's like a dream come true. You rock, Thomem! \,,/
Hi Thomen! Geil, dass du jetzt diesen TH-cam-Kanal hast. Ich bin ein sehr großer Fan von deinem Sound (bin Blind Guardian-Fan, seitdem ich klein war) und bin sehr froh, dass ich jetzt Videos von dir schauen kann! VG!
Yes, yes and YEEESS!! A dream come true!!! The best atmosphere for a medieval battle scenario!! No words, just tears here!!! Ty master!!!!! More from anato, plz, all the songs btw!!! hahahaha =D \,,/
Is so fucking good to watch and hear these classics with your playng style. Fred is not bad but he don't have the same energy, the same punch! I'm really sad that you are not in the band, when I attended a show back in 2002 in Brazil, Alex Holzwart played 😭
Awesome song from one of the most underrated album in BG's history! Great to see you drum these songs, Thomen! Got only to see you with BG in 2003 at SRF - great show indeed!
I still don't know any smart comments... but I realy like this song and the drums on it! There are so many interesting moments! For example part 1:15 with different bass and the beginig of refrain. I'am impressed.
Thanks! This song was essential to me when I was learning to play double bass stuff. Those different patterns are so good. By the way have you thought of doing some review type of things about BG albums, especially the drum recordings, setups of the time etc. ? I would find it very interesting since I guess there's not that much videos/photos from those times. Love all you do, huge thanks from Finland 🙏
Thomen, you are amazing!
Thanks, my dear loyal friend! You really rock! 🤘🤘❤❤
Eu sempre procuro por brs mas você Edu hahaha
BRKsEDU por aqui
hahaha.. que legal :D ...

The best Drummer on the world, the amazing Thomen!!!
This has to be the best Blind Guardian Drum Track to ever be written.
back here again and every now and then to appreciate this treasure you gave us
my too
Wow!!! You make me cry. The most wonderful gift i ever had.....Thank you, thank you.💞💞💞💞💞
Incredible. One of the only songs where every other track feels like it's there in support of the drums.
The most epic drums on a metal song! Thanks for hearing my suggestion Thomen!
I suggested it too!
He looks like he has alot of energy to climb a mountain and slay a dragon
Legendary
How does this not have over a million views?!

Thanks a lot! Glad to hear this! Big hugs🤗🤗🤘🏻
Ein Traum! Blind Guardian ohne Thomen, ...für mich bis heute nicht vorstellbar. ...bin seit 1993 "follower"
Great Thomen! You were and you are still a fucking greatest drummer!
TRUE LEGEND. BLIND GUARDIAN MISS YOU, DRUM HERO
Mine, one of my favorite drummers !!!
Hi, from Metal, Strong Ukraine !!!
👏👏👏💙💛💪✌️
I've been watching this video 2 or 3 times a day. One of my favorites BG's song. Thomen's awesome.
It always makes me smile that these are called 'cover' videos instead of 'playthrough' videos, when it's Thomen, covering Thomen.
Literally had my jaw dropped for most of that performance! I really don't see how any other drummer could have delivered a better drum track for that legendary song than the one you laid down, as that was absolutely perfect. The professor himself, the great Neil Peart would have been tipping his hat to that amazing display, I feel sure. Wow, is all I can say really! 🔥⭐⚡💥🥁
Wow! Thank you soooo much for these kind and praising words! You really rock! 🫶🤘🏻🤗❤️
@@ThomenDrumChamber No problem Thomen, just speaking as I find! And thank you hugely for the reply, your skills have brought so much joy to so many over the years, including me. And from where I'm sitting you've lost absolutely nothing! 😎🔥
In my opinion the greatest drum work of all time is on this album! Period!
Sir Thomas your cover rocks!!! 🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻
Glad you like them!
Amazing as always Thomen!
This absolutely made my day.
It is unreal how good this cover is
Cover?
@@chrisl2466 Yes, you read that right
My favorite drummer!!!!!!
I wait almost 20 years to see this....
Очень круто, молодец Томен 🤙

One of the great things about these recordings is to identify the creative details of the drumming arrangements. 🙌🙌🙌
I will never stop listeting to this era of BG. You were right, Thomen, these drums are perfect for these songs.
Woo! :D

Thanks, my friend! Nice to hear that, but Fredrik really does a great job in BG! 🤘🤘😊🤘🤘
I agree. Frederick is great, of course, but I feel the same way.

@@gringochucha a night at the opera was too much for me at the time. I never gave up on it & now I like it. Imaginations is the peak IMO
I dont even play drums but love it.
Hola, Miguel. A mí también me parece muy divertido 😁
Espero que analices esta canción que no entiendo nada 😅
@@-Ruben Te veo en todos lados Miguel!!! aguante tu cana!!!
Pfiou ce mec est un grand malade merci thanks to show us your amazing skills!!
