Dude, ive rewatched this so many times.. yet over the years im STILL amazed that he just one-ups himself by playing it faster than the record.. what a fucking king..
the combination speed, power, grace, and tastefulness in his playing is absolutely unmatched. Look at him, incorporating all those cymbal accents while constantly blasting, without even breaking a sweat. That hand technique of his is just so simple but so effective, it's just elegant.
You simply can't put into words how fucking great Longstreth is, you just have to show people and spread the word. This is death metal drumming at its finest. His stamina must come from some brutal alien planet.
Damn..(not recalling who Jamie is for)nice to know im not alone in this sentiment. Those others are/have been my favs/held in highest regard as well. Cheers man! You know whats up.
I love the ride and crash accents he does while blasting, many syncopated - this whole video is seriously advanced shit. the way he incorporates both hands into the snare hits in his blasts...I've said before, I'll say it again: John is a one-man drumline.
John is the only drummer at this level that I know that goes flying finger and wrist technique at same fucking time. Mostly I envy his serenity while playing.
Absolutely boggles the mind. The amount of creativity in his playing and having the ability to actually perform like that is just insane. He's in a category of his own.
4:50, that rim shot. I've watched this a thousand times and it fucking blows my mind that at this pace and intensity he can throw subtleties like that in there left right and center. Complete master.
See Longstreth has like a controlled fury about his playing. Very primal but super logical if that makes sense. He's a true master whatever you think of technique, he's mastered a style that's really unique and technical with a lot of underlying groove.
It's just such a pleasure to watch him play. Sure, there's drummers who can play as fast and technical, but few can put groove, freshness, and musicality into extreme metal like John.
I keep coming back to this. I can't think of any other drummer in death metal that incorporates so much artfulness (accents, ghost notes, etc) and groove with brutality. John has said he would have been a jazz drummer but it wasn't athletic enough. Proof right here.
I've watched this video multiple times daily just absorbing his technique, this guy is an unbelievable machine and you can learn just by watching him make it look easy
Exactly, you can see how he just takes full advantage of the rebound and doesn't hit very hard, but very consistant, only making powerfull rimshots at the last stroke before a full stop. I think most drummers will understand how he's doing this (playing like this and this fast), just by looking at his playing, but actually doing it is so very difficult. This guy doesn't seize to amaze me.
Is impressive the precisión in hes left hand and how loud the blast sounds, of all death metal drummer, John is the most technical and precise of all , amaizing!!!!
This ferocious, unforgiving, relentless velocity of power is the exact reason why I stay far away from push-pull. John Longstreth is and always will be KING. No one touches this, but Sacred Longstreth.
@@joericaluwaerts5474 people who teach others how to do it do it wrong. Look up gravity blast tutorial and see how many people do it wrong. To clarify, look at the forearm muscle by the biceps of theirs. Activation of that is not ergonomically correct
He's not a machine! A human like the rest of us. A prime example of dedication and hard work, the culmination of years of practice, how to incorporate many advanced techniques (double strokes, Moeller, etc. etc.) into a whole drummer, with feel and creativity. No machine could do this.
+Tobias Röhner I didn't know it wasn't JL on that track - I'm usually pretty good at checking 'the facts' before I comment! Oh well, you live and learn. Respect for Longstreth and now also respect for King.
The first Origin line up with George Fluke, Clint Applehanz & Mark Manning are still the heaviest most raw live shows I've ever witnessed. They barely move around now. Back then the guys were all over the stage & moved & thrashed around with the music the entire show. It was fucking insane.
This staring from the abyss version is much f**** faster than on the record. Lovely sound too! P.S: I need that version on a special album, it's that good.
Way faster than Kollias, you gotta be kidding man. Kollias' footwork is still far superior to Jon's. The only thing Jon does in fact play faster is the Gravity Blast, which is actually never used by Kollias ;)
Luke Cook Please. listen to that ride, johns a thick dude you don't think his hits have power? I know when I play that speed I use mainly finger strength and minimal hand movement, george throws the mueller technique into his blast which makes his hands and wrists move more and gives him an almost accented blast. Origins songs average faster speed than nile songs, john is a fuckin beast and his technique is much more fluent than Kollias. Kollias was my favorite drummer, I have his damn band tattoo'd on my body but john is just better lol much more of a broad musical background
SkateSmokeAndDrum yeah also look at merat of ulcerate he just hit as hard with tremendous complex stuff...kollias is just plain boring i mean same fills.zero dynamics man he seems dying with simple blast beats ...this requires a lot more thought that what it seems
Through some of that he looked like if you passed him the TV remote he could channel flick with 1 hand & carry on playing with the other without being distracted.
5 years later and I still occasionally come back to this video just to have my mind blown again.
I’m back right now for that same reason brotha.
Just the first 3 minutes are absolutely brain-melting!
Hello sir!!! 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻
I know right!?
согласен. это на грани фантастики..
@@ЧорнийМорок главное пристегнуть ремни перед началом
Your drumming is brain-melting
I love how both hands are dominant when he blasts. Both sound like the same hand. There is no weakness, very consistent.
Playing the songs faster than they are on the record. Mindblowing....
Dude, ive rewatched this so many times.. yet over the years im STILL amazed that he just one-ups himself by playing it faster than the record.. what a fucking king..
I just watched the drum talk video he did, in which he said something like "stick to the basics ...singel foot blasts at 260bpm" XD
I notice that Origin and Cattle Decap play their songs faster live than on record
I love how his tom mics are head banging along to his drumming
Beneath all that superfast blasting is just a ton of taste, groove and subtle suggestion going on. what an awesome player!
I did see John doing both shows with Origin and Gorguts. 2 shows same evening how the fuck he can remember all both set??? What a beast !!!
I seen a skinless / origin show where he played drums for both and it was fucking amazing . Also the most violent show I've ever been to
Whaaaa???
Is it real?!
@@СемёнСемёнов-ы1ь ya he is known to be a very very quick learner he can tackle songs and learn them quick
Skinless is amazing
Not only memorizing the songs but having the endurance to play both sets in one night. John's on a different level
Hands of a surgeon.
Or a Benihana chef.
On meth
Oh shit wait there was a House MD episode about that.
:)))

I’ve seen him live. He sweats
I mean I agree but technically my man is looking pretty moist
@@barad-dur9236 it's a figure of speech big guy, he's just really relaxed.
How?? How?? Fucking how????? Drumming 27 years and this has me in awe.. if he leaves this band then the bands over . Nobody can replace him
He was replaced for echoes. Just sayn.
@@CyanideChrist33 echoes best origin LP imoo
@@aalex2606 Echoes is the best.
You simply can't put into words how fucking great Longstreth is, you just have to show people and spread the word. This is death metal drumming at its finest. His stamina must come from some brutal alien planet.
J MetalSkinz yeah he,flo mounier,jamie st and jonh from cephalic carnage are the masters of extreme metal
Damn..(not recalling who Jamie is for)nice to know im not alone in this sentiment.

Isaac dissonance longstreth Over kollias
its only technique so fuck stamina...
jamie saint merat
What a beast!!

This is technique devoted to the dark side... totally fucking mindblowing
John is the only drummer at this level that I know that goes flying finger and wrist technique at same fucking time. Mostly I envy his serenity while playing.
the stamina he has is unreal, he can play this fast for a solid hour, also he has a beautiful fills taste and touch, a real musician
I think Jan Benkwitz aka Blastphemer is also fucking great with the flying finger and wrist technique.
What has Jan been up to? It's been years since I've heard about any of his work.
I talked to him about 3-4 months ago and he said that he didn´t had a basement to practice at the moment....:(

How bout at 4:59 too..muting the crash hits so the following drum hits will be more available to the ear for us...friggin masterful.

Then you need to meet Lille Gruber!
His father was a professional Jazz musician, Russ Long.
Best drummer ever, so glad he plays in Hate Eternal as well now

I can't even begin to state just how phenomenal this display of drumming is. Other worldly skills. 😀
Extreme drumming at its best !
The best part of his playing for me is how he never plays any song the same way twice. Origin Improv, it's unreal.
This ferocious, unforgiving, relentless
velocity of power is the exact reason why I stay far away from push-pull.
John Longstreth is and always will be KING.
No one touches this, but Sacred Longstreth.
Jesus Christ hes so good. Most musical blasting ever
Literally nobody can hate on this shit. John is probably the most Technical drummer out there.
Man he's gotta be one of like 5 in the word that can play this well. This is batshit crazy.
He makes it look so easy
this is so incredible... that left hand/right hand consistency is amazing
Possibly the best metal drummer!
this guy impresses me so much...the way he plays ambidextrous...his technique...flawless playing
John remains THE best death metal drummer of all time!
04:18 his right wrist... incredible.
That’s why he can hit the snare so hard with either hand so quickly. He’s only playing at half his potential speed when he’s doing so
It's called "a gravity blast" Hard to learn...
@@joericaluwaerts5474 people who teach others how to do it do it wrong. Look up gravity blast tutorial and see how many people do it wrong. To clarify, look at the forearm muscle by the biceps of theirs. Activation of that is not ergonomically correct
mind blowing how you get this good.its the accents and high hat work which make this tastefull and different the the usual boring blasting.
insane. next level
That's some serious skill and discipline right there.
Jesus christ, I feel ashamed to call myself a drummer after watching this
I feel the same man. This is crazy drumming. I just dont get it
@@yugolago its literally called "being raised by jazz musicians but you like metal"
@@t3hgir I like jazz too man!!;)
One word, LEGEND!!!!
Amazing drumming
John is a machine!

one of the best drummers
Just pure art.
Monstruoso
Its like a coffee in the morning..what a feel. Men, constantly power .,great job .
2022, since the first album, still love this band
Just freaking amazing..the best..go John
It's effortless and quite beautiful. What a drummer. One of my all time fave tracks has got to be The Burner. The drumming on that sounds inhuman.
Brought to you by James King. He's kind of forgotten but the drumming he pulled off on Echoes is pretty mindblowing.
+Tobias Röhner I didn't know it wasn't JL on that track - I'm usually pretty good at checking 'the facts' before I comment! Oh well, you live and learn. Respect for Longstreth and now also respect for King.
And the bastard had been playing drums then for less than 2 years! He's an all around musical talent.
This was already crazy but I think in 6:25 he losts signal in his in-ear monitors and he just takes the plug off and continues flawlessly.
Joona Virtanen I think he just scratched his head (which is hilarious in its own way). His in ear is still in. He did it already at 6:06
Yeah buddy, that didn't happen. He just lost the tempo for a sec, that's it.
Funny how this insane relentlessness is what keeps me away from listenening to more of this music but makes me admire it at the same time.
The best video on youtube so far
theres been alot of talk about John lightly tapping etc.. but man, theres power behind it in this vid thats for sure.
Kristoffer Klitgaard I've seen him live, he does doubles that still get a good velocity and height
I agree, but ive heard alot of doubter claiming he lightly taps etc. im pretty sure this video explicitly shows how thats a false claim :D
K. I’ve seen him live he def has the power you are suggesting. The best in the world at what he does
I can't even remember my name sometimes.... This guy is insane just at remember every single detail.
genius drummer
The first Origin line up with George Fluke, Clint Applehanz & Mark Manning are still the heaviest most raw live shows I've ever witnessed. They barely move around now. Back then the guys were all over the stage & moved & thrashed around with the music the entire show. It was fucking insane.
Is it still the same drummer? I listened to them in the early 2000's and it was non stop,not as slow as it is now
That's gotta be the most relaxed hand technique I've ever seen
Drumming is so easy for him 🤘🤘
Hurricane Longstreth is Category 6
The whole of Origin playing together sounds like a F5 Category tornado made entirely of titanium chainsaws 😆
Holly crap that how I been thinking of setting up my set so cool now I see what was in my mind I like it even more lol
This man is beyond human he a montster
SAVAGE!! John is SAVAGE!!!
thanks for sharing on fb
How is this even human possible
I feel sorry for the three dislikers..........John rules!!!
This man would give a drum machine nightmares!!
Such a badass!
I got a stick from him, while he was playing in Hate Eternal Dec. 4th 2018, he is fun to watch play!
What sticks he uses?
The level of stick control is crazy
Absolute unit
unbelievable
This staring from the abyss version is much f**** faster than on the record.
Lovely sound too!
P.S: I need that version on a special album, it's that good.
underrated drummer!
brilliant!!!
damn bro your a beast!!!!
Put this on 2x speed and your computer will catch on fire.
Nick Burpee haha you're right
I just tried this and now I’m crying 😂
He is a ninja of drummer
Fuck me...he's even better now. Raising the bar high here. Way faster than Kollias.
on other video he said he got to play faster because he couldn't keep up with Origin's guitarist haha
Way faster than Kollias, you gotta be kidding man. Kollias' footwork is still far superior to Jon's. The only thing Jon does in fact play faster is the Gravity Blast, which is actually never used by Kollias ;)
This isn't some Pokémon battle or something xD
Longstreth is awesome, Kollias is awesome and that's pretty much it :D

I always think other drummers are beasts, but then I think yeah, but longstreth makes it all look so effortless.
Its a testified miracle !
脱力具合がやはり神！！！！
unreal.and those dynamics..urrrgh..
脱力具合が他のデスメタル系ドラマーとは別次元！！
I like when he tilts his head into those double rides, like a chef thinking "a bit more salt will do there"
his hand... a magical
Thes people are machines!!!
Through some of that he looked like if you passed him the TV remote he could channel flick with 1 hand & carry on playing with the other without being distracted.
as with other times I watch virtuosos doing their thing, it's amazement tinged with a little sadness for the things I will never be able to achieve...
John just cannot slow down as nearly as to the original tempos.. awesome!
God damn beast
еще и за ухом успевает почесать :) круто. респект
DRUMMING ROYALTY RIGHT HERE....
The master himself.
See, we have badass metal drummers here in Kansas.
Easily a 17 on the Richter scale.
Holy fucking shit, that was intense!!
Guy just plays with forearms.. Looks really comfy for him, rock on 🤘
probably first after Nils, concerning the speed. or maybe.. i dunno. great work. so much stamina and technique..
Ok, I’ve had my morning coffee, and I’m ready to go.
Жесть зверюга!)))) Кайф!
