Marthyn Jovanovic's analysis of Nils 'Dominator' Fjellström - former Drummer of Dark Funeral - playing Vobiscum Satanas. I hope this observation on how Nils Fjellström plays helps you figure out for yourself which of his skills at the drum kit would be interesting for you to practice.

one of the you tube comments on that vid really agitated me, saying nils wasnt tight in the video, specifically his feet. i wish people were a little more forgiving with extreme metal drummers in live performances. its difficult to play crazy fast and tight under poor sleeping, eating and traveling conditions. under hot lights and sometimes without proper kickback sound from the sound monitors. ive seen this guy live and he is a MONSTER.
I agree with you for the most part, but I've really been getting into intermittent fasting(well, have been awhile, getting into extended fasting now) and am pretty adapted to burning fat for energy so I don't really have carbs until late in the day, and limit them when I do most days. Even if into keto, it's good to get moderate-high carbs once a week or so for metabolic flexibility for switching between fuels. I work two jobs, mornings is unloading packages weighing up to 150lbs(with help if needed) during peak holiday season, there was 6 semi trailers this morning half were partial but still, a lot for 2-3 guys. Starting almost 2 hours earlier now(5:50am), so between that and a late job(ending 9-10pm depending on) been getting like 3-5 hours of sleep this week, and eating 1-2 meals a day, but that actually helps as long as you eat right. Intermittent fasting and being adapted to burning fat for energy helps so much for lack of sleep and being overworked it's crazy(I'm into nofap too which really helps lol), I still have good mental energy even late into the day with my 2nd job, your comment just made me think of that. I've been going one meal, but I'm pretty beat from this week so I'm going 2 for now. I have no experience on drums, but I play guitar and have worked up to speed like War Ensemble by Slayer to a metronome, it's NOT easy I know that. I know a lot of it can be more mental than the physical aspect of playing, I'm sure my performance at work has suffered slightly, but in the context of fast metal even small differences will show so it's kinda apples to oranges.
Im not a great drummer by any means, but i do play the instrument and to my ear it seems fine so i would think any untrained ear would never hear a couple notes slightly misstimed from his millions of notes
I actually like these minor flaws during high speed drumming because it's something else than a highly edited drum take with 100% sampled sounds on an overproduced album. Honestly if I see another drummer tapping the snare drum while a high powered rim-shot is being played back by the trigger I'm gonna lose my shit. This guy on the other hand hits really hard!
Dude ya and tje knes who say that cant even play..drummers like myself play at that level and its not easy at all ..how u feel does make a hige difference because hella energy is obviously required and precision takes alot of it cuz if your not feelong so great from loss of sleep and those conditions u mentioned come in to play majorly but anyway good comment all very true
His precision is something unreal... Playing in a band that all the songs are fast and keeping all the energy in every song equal it's just for a few drummer's. Great analysis
Love how Marthyn keeps so down to earth and focussed on the analysis (which is really good and in depth). All the other reactions are just "omg, wow, etc"
Yeah!!! I was waiting for this video!! What a beast of a drummer!! The power in those fills!!! Amazing break down of the performance Marthyn, that was really insightful.
Nils is probably one of the greatest metal drummers of all time. Im from the same town as him and hearing/see him play with his old band Aeon were always amazing.
I absolutely agree! His playing in DF is unbelievable, but going back watching old Aeon clips shows that he was just as amazing with them too. Ridiculously precise and hard hitting. His playing in Aeon sort of reminds me of the Soreption drummer.
Wow, I have stumbled upon this video while random watching other reactions of drummers and drum teachers. Yet, I am blown away by the effort you put in your reaction. The analysis, subtitles, etc... well done, hopefully you will get the recognition you deserve. Good luck!
Hell yeah, I second this. Trey is a fuckin beast! Kevin was great in the early days, but Trey has really come into his own, especially on Wrong One to Fuck With.
Another huge advantage of that hihat position that not alot of drummers think about is that it gets the hat away from the snare mic, allowing the snare to sound farrrr better in a recording
Thanks Marthyn for listening to my recommendation! i hoped you would do "secrets of the blacks arts" but this one kills too! glad you used secrets as one example
thanks for making these videos Marthyn! its really interesting how you analyze the drummer and breakdown the techniques being used. we can see you really enjoying watching these badass drummers. I'm really looking forward in watching your next videos.
I just saw Dark Funeral live 5 days ago and the only thing I regret (with no disrespect to their current drummer) is Dominator is not with them anymore. This guy is a f...ckin' monster! He has speed, precision and endurance, all of these amazing. The best drummer I have ever seen!
Thanks for your work on these videos! I'm a guitar player, but I've always wanted to learn drums, as well, but never had a place I could have a kit to practice. Now that I finally do, and plan to buy an electronic kit to start, I'm so grateful for such detailed, informative looks at some of my favorite drummers. Thanks so much! Also, I'd love to see your take on Darkside from MGLA playing "Exercises in Futility V" live (amazing drummer, and that is the best live video of him to date, IMO)...
I really enjoy watching these even though i'm keyboard player and haven't ever really played drums at all :D I would love to see reaction to Kai Hahto for example wintersun's battle against time. Keep doing these, it's very interesting to see drumming from good drummer's perspective.
Hahto is great but I would rather like to see his work with Rotten Sound analysed as it seems that in that band he had the most freedom to create his own way of playing.
I really like these video's, I can learn a lot from what you say, and it is just really nice to hear you talk so passionate and you obviously know your stuff. Keep it up.
Great video and technique analysis. Nils truly is a machine. We did a gig with my band Embracing here in Umeå, and Nils was there playing with his older band Aeon, it was great to see his excellent grind technique. Plenty of practise behind that drumming. Truly a beast in the metal genre!
Saw him once live with Dark Funeral. Still blown away by this inhuman performance. Great Content as always! Would love to see you reacting to David McGraw :D
What i love about your videos is you have e played in the upper echelons of the metal. It's great hearing your insights about fellow drummers at the top tier and how you appreciate the fuck out of the art and their skill aswell as knowing the art form inside out. Much respect
Your reactions are so interesting: you make us understand that there is not one good way to play fast, there are as much solutions as there are different fast drum players. Each technique and configuration has its own pros and cons. We got to work, try and choose. And Nils is a beast!!!
I'd really like to see your analysis on either Darkside from Mgla/Kriegsmaschine, Daniel "D" Dickmann from Sulphur Aeon, or Adam Jarvis from Misery Index.
The third video I watched analysing this DF video and you actually explained things to me (being a non drummer, but a drum programmer) that might actually help me, rather than just pulling faces and going 'Ugh, I don't know what to say... it's crazy'. Thank you, I have subscribed to your channel!
It’s refreshing to hear an instructor say he hasn’t heard drum fills like that at that speed before and I’ve always said Nils is the best drummer I’ve ever heard… no wonder odium sounded so amazing!
@@Shyrest Yeah, he went from guitar/vocals to drums and back again. He had only been playing drums for about 2 years when he recorded and played live with Fleshgod. Very impressive.
Thanks! He is my favourite drummer, simply a warmachine from hell, only Frost in my opinion is comparable. He is ferocious, precise and ultrafast, if you see him live is just mindblowing...
Really liked the part about him preparing everyone for the next subdivision with the break on the same 8th note triplets as the next part. I'm a self taught drummer without any musical theory, and i noticed sometimes i do that by instinct. Good videos Marthyn, keep em coming.
Great video! I used to play the piano, I've never played drums, but I love watching these kind of videos about the techniques and theory of other instruments. Nils is a monster, my favourite extreme metal drummer. An analysis of Frost (his 1349 or older Satyricon stuff) or Trym (Emperor) would be cool. Keep up te good work! subscribed
awesome work with belphegor and this channel. agreed, no one hits that fast, hard and precise on the tom rolls! also the kick speed and hi-hat fills are INSANE!
@@JM-ll6hd than it seems you havent look so mush on drum videos from john, if you mean only try to play fast. Good for you that you know who is best. If we where on the same party, and you said what you write to my face. I would buy you a beer and show witch videos i mean. And convince you, that john is a insaine tecnical skilled drummer . Yes, play fast ass hell. But also put some kind of fuckt up jazz shit in to all off it.
@@JM-ll6hd John wasn't very used to playing odd time stuff, of course you have a tough time doing it at first then. Imagine he was in a prog band for a few years alongside Origin, you'd see him slay odd time just as much, as he very much is a pro drummer.
Marthyn, you are a great drummer and teacher, please keep up the work, we in the drum community salute you. As for a recommendation, you and David Diepold both mentioned in one of your interview videos of how you both admire Dave McGraw from Cattle Decapitation. He has several great videos to choose from and it would make a great teaching moment for us all. Thanks again, you and Belphagor rock! Lastly, maybe a break down one of your own videos from Belphagor?
Amazing choice Marthyn, and I loved the particular video you picked in order to make this analysis. Loved it! As for a suggestion, I believe Chason Westmoreland would be an amazing option.
His blast beats at 10:59 are ridiculous! He's doubling up the kick so that his feet are playing the same thing that his hands are and it still sounds nearly perfect. Dude is a fucking monster.
I love metal, and metal drummers are amazing, which is all the words I can think of for seeing this song. Whole time I thought this was a drum solo....
Good analysis Marthyn, I liked how you pointed out his hi-hat setup. This is why I plan on having a 2nd pair between my ride and 2nd rack tom, so I have the open handed option and less range of motion between it and the ride. Basically just blasting hats lol.
Hey, man, great content as always! I’d love to see you react to Emil Wiksten back when he was playing in Aeon, as well as any of Matthew Paulazzo’s videos. Cheers!
Love this series man. Always wanted to start drumming but unfortunately I don't have the space just yet. Could you look into doing Unleash the Archer's Awakening?
I'd guess that one other drummer that hits really hard and fast would be Frost while playing with 1349. Would love if you analyzed his style! Love these videos.
Dear Marthyn! Thank you for a great TH-cam channel; I've watched nearly every single one of your uploads (and I rarely do anything else on this site than listen to music). All of your videos are very educational, and I really like your approach and your personality. I would love to hear you analyse the drumming of Lee Harrison, Monstrosity, especially one of the drum videos from the recording of the band's second album, "Millennium". It would be extremely interesting to hear you talk about, e.g., the technique behind the (fast one-handed) 'cymbal catch' and Harrison's setup. Cheers, and thank you very much in advance!
Sure! th-cam.com/video/Y_OIny3HUR0/w-d-xo.html I realise now the quality might not be good enough ... Maybe this medley from the recording sessions of "In Dark Purity" is more suitable: th-cam.com/video/5UhCqNzQhO8/w-d-xo.html Whether it's possible or not, given the video quality, I remain a fan and regular follower of your channel. Thanks a lot, Marthyn! :)
Hello Marthyn, great video as always. I'm here with my suggestion, what about Trym from Emperor? Specifically anything from their live Emperial live ceremony, or best - the insane Ye Entrancemperium they played at the end of it. I was always curious how does he achieve so powerful hitting at such supersonic speed.
wie immer cooles Video. Hab vor Jahren mal bischen Schlagzeug gespielt und ein paar Stunden genommen, aber bei den Videos lern ich sogar mehr als ich damals je gelernt hatte. Interessant find ich immer Sitzpositionen, Drumsetaufbau, über das hab ich mir damals nie wirklich Gedanken gemacht. Da hätt ich mir einiges leichter gestalten können. Gruß aus Wien
These reviews are great, I'm not a drummer but these videos are definitely helping me out with the idea of writing drums by myself. Have you seen the drum playthrough for Involuntary Doppelganger by Archspire?

Very good,please a video about Anton Poddyachy
What>? You forgot to mention his Armour + 100 speed + 100 stamina
Light Armour Skill 100, Two Handed Skill 100, Destruction Skill 100000000
Crital hit+critical damage 💯
Dual wield dagger's. Critz.

I don't even play drums but I really enjoy watching these videos!! Very informative!! You're an amazing drummer as well!
thank you
Word. His work in Belphegor is fuckin unreal.
Yeah!!! I was waiting for this video!! What a beast of a drummer!! The power in those fills!!! Amazing break down of the performance Marthyn, that was really insightful.
thank you... yeah- his power at tom fills is unmatched!
me too

Ive been looking for years for an Aeon shirt...
Dude, that fill at 12:05!
yea it was insane
btw love your content
1:01 The face everyone makes when blast beats start.
Wow, I have stumbled upon this video while random watching other reactions of drummers and drum teachers. Yet, I am blown away by the effort you put in your reaction. The analysis, subtitles, etc... well done, hopefully you will get the recognition you deserve. Good luck!
Jovanovic is one of the few humble drummers ... He analyze every drummer with patience and super focus on their job
Want a reaction video on Trey Williams from dying fetus
Hell yeah, I second this. Trey is a fuckin beast! Kevin was great in the early days, but Trey has really come into his own, especially on Wrong One to Fuck With.
Hellhmmer from MayheM or Frost Satyricon or Horgh from Immortal
Those 3 and Dominator are really the peak and the pride of extreme metal drumming
I would add Gene Hoglan from across the Atlantic, otherwise I completely agree
Richard Christy and Trym too
@@ishzarkklyon9590 Nick Barker?
His speed and accuracy remind me of a German MG42 machine gun. Fast and precise and will rip your face off in seconds!!🤯
Another huge advantage of that hihat position that not alot of drummers think about is that it gets the hat away from the snare mic, allowing the snare to sound farrrr better in a recording
Next - Frost with 1349!
Who also plays with Satyricon
Formally of Emperor
and gorgoroth (destroyer album)
Or Dominator with 1349 ;)
Thanks Marthyn for listening to my recommendation! i hoped you would do "secrets of the blacks arts" but this one kills too! glad you used secrets as one example
I swear I'm finding every single TH-camr I didn't expect commenting on this video.
👍🤘💀🤘🍻🇲🇽
mario duplantier would be a cool drummer to talk about
He is a very interesting drummer
hell yas
Absolutely love these analysis videos.. I searched high and low for exactly what you have presented here.. Thank you!

Any man named Dominator is going to be a beast on drums. Best drummer I have ever seen!!
I love your breakdown and analysis. Keep it up. You rule!!!!!!! Thanks.
thank you!
Thankiu sir... Full of positive analysis.... Great video by the way
Nice breakdown of his playing. Many things we as drummers do without even noticing that you have pointed out. I clicked the subscribe button.
Thank you
One of my favorite drummers, thank you!
Great example of playing fast but still having insane groove. Fast drummers can often feel stiff
Great video and analysis!
I loved that hip muscle observation, it was very interesting and made me think of my own posture when playing
This reminds me of programing impossible to play midi drums on my computer... but this freak can actually play it. Hats off to you sir!
Your reactions are so interesting: you make us understand that there is not one good way to play fast, there are as much solutions as there are different fast drum players. Each technique and configuration has its own pros and cons. We got to work, try and choose.
And Nils is a beast!!!
I'd really like to see your analysis on either Darkside from Mgla/Kriegsmaschine, Daniel "D" Dickmann from Sulphur Aeon, or Adam Jarvis from Misery Index.
+1 for Darkside
+2 for Darkside . th-cam.com/video/LLOvk0LwuGk/w-d-xo.html
+3 for Darkside
+4 for Darkside!!!
+5 Darkside
Whoa Nelly!!😍 That is blistering. Small wonder why Nils is my favorite drummer! Hahaa! Holeee shoot!🤘

Francesco Paoli from Fleshgod Apocalypse please!

He was the original frontman of FA until 2010 and he was also the frontman of Hour of Penance for a while. That man is a fucking beast!

Great upload btw.
How do you remember every letter in a song's lyrics?

How can anyone say no to this ;) th-cam.com/video/apgJ7IjAKkU/w-d-xo.html

great analysis...always insightful
I was at this show, if I’m not mistaken. It was brutal assault 2016. Amazing! Good analysis!
Excellent disection, great video!
Thank you!
I don't know how the hell I ended up on this video, I don't play drums or listen to Dark Funeral, but my gosh this was interesting. Subscribed!
Hey, man, great content as always! I’d love to see you react to Emil Wiksten back when he was playing in Aeon, as well as any of Matthew Paulazzo’s videos. Cheers!
Nils is amazing.
Was hoping you would pick Nils, awesome video. He's one of my favorites.
Very effective reaction! I learned alot from this.
please do a reaction to Krimh!
will do!
Gotta be Vampire from Nazareth!
Can't wait!
Love this series man. Always wanted to start drumming but unfortunately I don't have the space just yet. Could you look into doing Unleash the Archer's Awakening?
I'd guess that one other drummer that hits really hard and fast would be Frost while playing with 1349. Would love if you analyzed his style! Love these videos.
Kai Hahto is hitting just as hard, there's some videos of him playing with Rottensound
Dear Marthyn!
Thank you for a great TH-cam channel; I've watched nearly every single one of your uploads (and I rarely do anything else on this site than listen to music). All of your videos are very educational, and I really like your approach and your personality.
I would love to hear you analyse the drumming of Lee Harrison, Monstrosity, especially one of the drum videos from the recording of the band's second album, "Millennium". It would be extremely interesting to hear you talk about, e.g., the technique behind the (fast one-handed) 'cymbal catch' and Harrison's setup. Cheers, and thank you very much in advance!
Thank you very much for the great feedback. Can you post the yt url of the video you want? Thx alot!
Sure!

I realise now the quality might not be good enough ... Maybe this medley from the recording sessions of "In Dark Purity" is more suitable:

Whether it's possible or not, given the video quality, I remain a fan and regular follower of your channel. Thanks a lot, Marthyn! :)
Hello Marthyn, great video as always. I'm here with my suggestion, what about Trym from Emperor? Specifically anything from their live Emperial live ceremony, or best - the insane Ye Entrancemperium they played at the end of it. I was always curious how does he achieve so powerful hitting at such supersonic speed.
I am exhausted by just watching him play
wie immer cooles Video. Hab vor Jahren mal bischen Schlagzeug gespielt und ein paar Stunden genommen, aber bei den Videos lern ich sogar mehr als ich damals je gelernt hatte. Interessant find ich immer Sitzpositionen, Drumsetaufbau, über das hab ich mir damals nie wirklich Gedanken gemacht. Da hätt ich mir einiges leichter gestalten können. Gruß aus Wien
When Nils is playing the world is slowing down, as a result he has a plenty of time to move his left hand to the hi-hat
So insightful. People say black metal is just endless blast beats. But there's so much technique. A lot of little things make a big difference.
Totally agree
very good video series! keep up the good work!
will do!
Love ur insight on the drums bro and dark funeral is sick!!!!
These reviews are great, I'm not a drummer but these videos are definitely helping me out with the idea of writing drums by myself.
Have you seen the drum playthrough for Involuntary Doppelganger by Archspire?
That was AWESOME!
Hi Marthyn, what do you think about 'Incubus' from Inquisition?
Or maybe Pete Webber from Havok.
