Also, another great job guys. Been a great boost in quality lately. Can hear the rest of the band, but the drums stand out nice, kick is auditable, and every plate sounds crisp. About as good as a live video gets without having him do a "play through" with the original track in the back.
Producing live videos is more of a challenge. Also, the playing has the interaction of the band members, and this is often subtle. Anyway, Amon Amarth puts on a fantastic live show.
I am a recently made fan of AA, and the drumming is amazing. Just saw this video, and I just love it. The skill this band employs with drums is awe inspiring.
He has technique where he sits quite way back on the seat. Also feet are with speed doubles on the edge of the pedals. A drum throne kind of let's you sit a bit leaned forward.
This guy is an absolutely amazing drummer, with an inspirational life/musical history. I'm somewhat of a new drummer myself, and this is my go to video when I need to get a better idea of the technicalities and musical aspects of drumming. Thanks Jocke and Sick Drummer Magazine!
Just a question for anyone- do you or have you tried playing with backup sticks tucked behind you like Jocke has here? I've seen many other drummers do it, but it just seems really uncomfortable to me. Plus it looks like it'd be hard to grab the stick if you did actually drop one.
The Abbath, Gabe Seeber video has a stick recovery in it, that shows how quickly it can be done with the sticks behind. If the drummer finds that uncomfortable, they can use their belt loops, like Krimh does.
Awesome, I just watched it. He makes an impressive save. I feel I'd just have a problem doing it because I have really long arms, and it'd be hard/awkward to reach back and grab one. Think I'll stick to my Vic Firth stick holder on my hi hat stand.
I want to know his trigger settings, because he is hitting the bass drum with that much power and it looks like he is using a pearl demon drive, unless there is an e-kit for that pedal, or his bass drum is filled with pillows and the setting is extremely sensitive,
Aquiles Priester is actually one of my main reasons for even playing drums. He has been my second biggest influence during my time growing up and exploring my ways of drumming.
+Jocke Wallgren he's amazing! I only came across him through some videos on drummerworld a few years ago and I was an immediate fan. Big props to you as well, your playing is tight, creative, and groovy sir!
WOW this is soo interesting. Here I am thinking most people not from Brazil have never heard of Aquiles Priester. He is definitely one of my biggest a favourite drummers. Of course, you fall on that list as well! Still very happy and surprised to know you are influenced by him. His work beyond Angra and Hangar are amazing. I'd love to see you upload a cover song of anything Aquiles Priester has done. You are beyond a perfect fit for Amon Amarth. Good luck to you brother!
Lol does he have his set lists inside of his football Playlist wrist bands? Used to use and wear those during football games back in highschool. Thats the only thing and reason I can think of to why hed be wearing play calling wristbands w/ pieces of paper slid inside them. Thats actually a pretty cool idea if thats what hes using them for! BUT on the other hand I cant stand drummers who wear gloves lol. I myself am a drummer and have tried playing with gloves on just to see how it feels. Used wide receiver gloves though and they have a sticky plastic material on them for better grip and tried a pair of AHEAD gloves and I didn't like either. IMO I like to feel the stick and play w my pointer and middle fingers while holding the sticks at the middle pad/section on my index finger if that makes sense... but I felt like the gloves restricted my fingers and movement of the sticks. So cudos to guys who do use gloves but I feel like theres no point. And if I dont play a show or in my house for a while and my calluses get fresh & turn into a blister again I just use a good ol piece of electric tape on it if it starts to hurt. Awesome video though. I just recently started to listen to this band and theyre pretty badass 🤘
Logan Wilder Hi. I have my set list to my left, just beneath the computer as you can se at 1.50 for example. The wristbands are only for catching sweat and I rarely use gloves anymore because I feel like I lost movement and feeling. Cheers!
Jocke is an incredible drummer!!! I hope he stay in Amon Amarth as a permanent member!!!
i think he is now
@@desape i think he is now*4
I agree to 100%
I have been around Rock & Roll for 63 years. I have never seen a drummer like Jocke, he is the best of the best, rock on brother.
Also, another great job guys. Been a great boost in quality lately. Can hear the rest of the band, but the drums stand out nice, kick is auditable, and every plate sounds crisp. About as good as a live video gets without having him do a "play through" with the original track in the back.

Hell yeah, Amon Amarth! Those toms sound clean as shit, and those rolls are flawless!
I got so stressful during double bass that his left foot gonna slip from pedal.Thanks Jocke, I had heart attack.
I am a recently made fan of AA, and the drumming is amazing. Just saw this video, and I just love it. The skill this band employs with drums is awe inspiring.
cant get enough of these videos!
Kinda wondering why he doesn't have a throne instead of just a little seat.
Sometimes the seats help better if you have a bad back
makes sense.
looks like khal drogo from Game of Thrones!
He has technique where he sits quite way back on the seat. Also feet are with speed doubles on the edge of the pedals. A drum throne kind of let's you sit a bit leaned forward.
grindcoremaniac well said
I pressed like button before i watch. I loved Fredrick too but u are a good drummer just like him sir. Love u guys!
I agree with Pope, these past few videos have been stepped up with the awesome sound and video quality. So sick
n/ This dude rips.
Great work Jocke! My favorite Amon Amarth song.
Those Pearls and Sabians sound incredible, a perfect combo, sound mix is right on, great sound quality, Jocke is amazing, rock on \m/
This guy is an absolutely amazing drummer, with an inspirational life/musical history. I'm somewhat of a new drummer myself, and this is my go to video when I need to get a better idea of the technicalities and musical aspects of drumming. Thanks Jocke and Sick Drummer Magazine!
He gets his godly power from that fucking Badass beard.
the production and selection of drummer just keeps getting tighter and tighter. Cheers from a long time sub!
Putting the first note of a snarefill on the tom is such a simple but fantastic way to make them sound much more creative
I see Amon Amarth and it's an instant like
Last drummer was a beast, but this one is a super beast. Hail Amon Amarth...!!!
Thanx for the sound
this guy is friggin amazing! Awesome Jocke!!
He definitely has the best drum riser in the world
i think that blue liquid near him is antifreeze, so he will not overheat
NIL6300 good one
Anti freeze, believe it or not, is so that things do not freeze. It contains glycol, which at high temperatures will actually catch fire.
Yep great sound quality. Excellent job guys!
Awesome drumming, plus awesome musicianship from the other guys, gotta go see them live, bet they're. ....Awesome I guess!
They are fantastic live. Their fans don't want to let them stop at the end. US tour with Megadeth will give them a great stage to play on.
wow the best drummer in the world i will say 🤘🥁
really solid playing
Amon Amarth är bäst jag älskar jocke Wallgren
I love that snare
great job
Man depois que descobri essa banda ouço todos os dias slc bom demais 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
you guys want blast beats? Check out his work behind the kit for Valkyrja. Goooood black metal! Glad he's the man for Amon Amarth now. Great drummer!
That snare gives me life.
Guitar ruff r fucken sick! Love this band
This band is epic. Great drumming too
It's not every day you see God behind the kit!! \m/
Representing Järfälla!! Sjukt stolt, Jocke.
I recentely discovered you can scroll down even in fullscreen mode
Amazing, isn't it ? Lol
HOW!?
this guy had some big shoes to fill. I think he filled them. awesome job \,,/
So Sick!
Well, at least they found someone competent to fill Fredrik's boots. Very impressive!
The bass cam is a nice touch \M/
absolutely fucking awesome Jocke !!!
awesome tec, so fucking clean!
he plays so smooth
this dude is tight as fook,,
What a beast!!!
My dude even had a can of grizzly. What a champ.
Sweet!
RESPECT
Amazing
awesome
Perfect PERFECT
So bummed, you guys finally showcase Amon and my main man left :/, oh well. Can't wait to see them in September
They were epic...
+BurnThePope i agree.. saw them too
It is as if an earthquake is triggering a massive landslide all while the sky is continuously being pierced by thunderclaps. It’s awesome.
I met Jocke in Cleveland, we're probably the same height, but he was so much bigger than me. I'd love to get his diet/workout plan.
I think touring with A A is workout enough 😜
Does anyone know what ride he's using. It sounds lovely!
It's an AAX 20" metal ride, and I agree, it sounds so crisp!, perfect for cutting through metal music
Nice, cheers!
Que wea hace el Chino Ríos tocando batería en Amón Amarth?😱
No andas tan lejos, Jocke es de origen chileno!!
Es Chileno
Jajajaja
⚡🤘🏼🥁🔨🥁🤘🏼⚡
so fucking great,,,,,,,
metal....🤘
Can anyone tell me why he has a laptop beside him? I’m not a drummer so I have no clue
The drummer typically controls the backing tracks (like intros, sound effects, symphonic fills) from a laptop.
Does he only have half of his foot on the pedal? That is some impressive balance.
Nike should sponsor this guy
Jocke Walgreens
What's the laptop for? Awesome job!!
recording live audio to be used for a live cd/DVD, or so ive been told told
I think is for the click tracks :)
fantastiskt..men dubbel ist för dom andra idag med en bas,så att skriva. älskar det.
Not an amon amarth fan yet.. Lol but he's a pretty good drummer
Amon Amarth is the best Death Metal band!
+IwieIch123 better than death or hypocrisy?
Wild E. Coyote they are different so it's only my opinion but i would say so.. their new album is my favourite of this year
Damn, what tom heads are those? G2?
Maybe this is a dumb question but what is the laptop beside him for?
He probably uses it to play his in-ear mix so he can hear the song along with a click while he is playing.
LOL click..
Awesome playing.
His left foot looks like it's about to go off the pedal during the fast sections, though. Can't be too comfortable.
I was thinking the same thing whole video, I thought oh he's gonna miss a beat when he does double bass but he didn't I guess he did practiced well.
Minty 👍!!!
totally fluid...
👍 gostei top 🎸
Master
Just a question for anyone- do you or have you tried playing with backup sticks tucked behind you like Jocke has here? I've seen many other drummers do it, but it just seems really uncomfortable to me. Plus it looks like it'd be hard to grab the stick if you did actually drop one.

I do this all the time, I use 2b sticks and I notice it someone times but it's not that bad. You would try it
+JustinPayton Just read that you have a stick holder, hahaha, I'd stick with that.
BurnThePope Haha it's all good man. I may give a shot while practicing by myself. See how it feels.
I want to know his trigger settings, because he is hitting the bass drum with that much power and it looks like he is using a pearl demon drive, unless there is an e-kit for that pedal, or his bass drum is filled with pillows and the setting is extremely sensitive,
Hi.
I don't use triggers.
Cheers!
+Jocke Wallgren awesome souding bass drum then. Killer video.
+Jocke Wallgren First time experiencing you behind the kit, cheers for carrying on the legacy. See ya in September!
+Jocke Wallgren awesome drumming jocke! Keep it up
Great drumming Jocke! What kind of ride were you using in this video? It looks like an AAX 20" Ride, but hard to tell, sounds awesome !
drumming with no blasts beats makes it Intresting
Amon, rarely ever had blasts.
+BurnThePope that's good because now days most bands incorporate blast beats
solid
Those films were tasty! Reminded me of Aquiles Priester.
Aquiles Priester is actually one of my main reasons for even playing drums.

didn't this guy played with G.O.D. at Wacken??
Chileno poh
This drummer reminds me of an old western gun slinger - someone who is 'trigger' happy.
monster
His left foot gives me anxiety attack haha..! But he's a solid drummer!!
I want his kit
See those plastic cups? That's how they made Bond's Martini: Shaken, not stirred.
02:08 the water in the mugs, jurassic park :)
a tecnica dele eh o calcacnhar baixoo semprree.
0:46 the reason i came here, fuckin insane
Fredrik all day
God Dam 'Arch Enemy; is the fucking beast!
you mean Amon Amarth?
Swaggasaur hahaha
I get really nervous watching this guy's footcam... That left foot is about to slip out of the pedal the whole song xD!!!
Lol does he have his set lists inside of his football Playlist wrist bands? Used to use and wear those during football games back in highschool. Thats the only thing and reason I can think of to why hed be wearing play calling wristbands w/ pieces of paper slid inside them. Thats actually a pretty cool idea if thats what hes using them for! BUT on the other hand I cant stand drummers who wear gloves lol. I myself am a drummer and have tried playing with gloves on just to see how it feels. Used wide receiver gloves though and they have a sticky plastic material on them for better grip and tried a pair of AHEAD gloves and I didn't like either. IMO I like to feel the stick and play w my pointer and middle fingers while holding the sticks at the middle pad/section on my index finger if that makes sense... but I felt like the gloves restricted my fingers and movement of the sticks. So cudos to guys who do use gloves but I feel like theres no point.

Awesome video though. I just recently started to listen to this band and theyre pretty badass 🤘
Logan Wilder
Hi. I have my set list to my left, just beneath the computer as you can se at 1.50 for example.
The wristbands are only for catching sweat and I rarely use gloves anymore because I feel like I lost movement and feeling.
Cheers!
why they need a notebook? aint the first i see using one
I think he use it for the click tracks
Where's Tobias?
Who?
Oh, the guy who finished the recent album after Fredrik's departure. I dunno. Who cares. This guy is amazing.
I wear gloves because I get blisters on my hand, and everyone is different like coke or Pepsi
Coke and Pepsi are not so different my friend.
Surprised nobody has made a beard joke yet in the comments.
Just accept Happy's love already.
He stopped loving me when I grew a beard after listening to this.
There, someone had to do it. >_
compression socks!!
Not too fond of the snare sound, but cool performance!
this is a sick drummer? ))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) он даже не потеет походу нихуя )))))
