Watch in HD!!! This is a play through for the ending of 'Singularity', 'Part 6: Here Comes The Sun' by Devin Townsend.
Last year (2018), I had the unexpected privilege of being one of the recording drummers for Devin Townsend's latest record, titled 'Empath'. I really can't put into words how amazing the experience was to work with someone such as Devin, as well as all of the other amazing people/musicians on the record. It was very surreal to say the least, and I can't thank Devin enough for letting me contribute to the album.
The record is a great blend between three drummers; myself, Morgan Agren, and Samus Paulicelli. We all played a different role throughout, and its pretty awesome to hear the different styles of playing. Singularity is a very long song, and there are numerous sections that were performed/recorded by all three of us. So I decided to do a video for one of the sections that I was on, which is the ending. I hope you enjoy!
I plan on uploading videos for a few of the other songs that I performed on, which I'll put out slowly over the next couple of months.
I am available for session work. Please feel free to reach out with any inquiries at AnupSastryDrums@gmail.com.

Fucking amazing dude. Ohhh Yurrrrr
Tend to agree 👍😘🇸🇪
Sex.
Oh Yurrrr!
This is so CLEAN!!! Awesome stuff! :D
👀
From 3:30 on dude's completely shifted, spiritually and physically, into maximum overdrive....... but there was never a change in volume, pitch, accent of notes, etc. That's the kind mastery of self-control that sends a mortal chill down your spine.....
Devin does something to you...I don't know what but....There it is...
Thank you Anup for contributing to this masterpiece! You did a great job
@@smithsmith9708 dude come on :D play nice
@@smithsmith9708 hahhahahaa what?
Gotta say even though devins new album was a recording mastering etc amazing...personally i was disappointed didnt really care for it...found it boring really...but ill prob give it another listen or 2 sometimes a album u take a big fart corn riddled shit on at first then the next spin or 2 your ears open up to it...idk may not happen cause on this playthrough i enjoy watching drummer this guy is insane awsome...i was bored almost semi irritated listened to devins lyrics just didnt grab me by the balls give em a good yank and spit on the tip and sry thats what ive come to expect ziltoid 1 & 2 are so good this is ehhh to crappy for me
@@smithsmith9708 u r such a fucking homophobe dude shut up
@@spazatron-uu4kb definitely give it another few listens. I felt the same at first, now I can't stop listening to it. By far my favorite Devin Townsend album.
This is one of the greatest albums I've ever heard and these last 4 minutes are just stellar. Congrats on being part of a masterpiece, Anup, you killed it.
Thanks a lot!
I couldn’t agree more. I’ve never heard anything like this. Just brilliant Anup.
I agree 100%. Empath is a masterpiece and your work on there is Stellar!
First time I heard this track - especially through to the end - all I could think was WOW when it finished. Then I played it again immediately
Oh hai Dan! Totally agree. This last 4 minutes tears me up every time.
Singularity is really a masterpiece
The drums at the final part are on point 🔥🔥
To be fair, the drums are on point for 0:00:00--2:03:00 of the 2-CD-version of Empath
But yeah, this part of Singularity did stand out as exceptionally awesome
Writing rhythm parts has always been one of Devy's stronger suits. Just look at the stuff on SYL's Alien or DTP's Addicted. It's heavily rhythm-oriented.
I simply cannot get through this without welling up with pure emotion...chills, goosebumps, pupil dilation, tears, and one huge exhalation after the final note rings out. Every brilliant musician involved in the creation of Devin's opus magnum "Empath" is an absolute inspiration. Anup, your commitment to the true meaning of this song shines through in your brilliant performance.
100 percent agree with you on all the emotions felt in this song. From the first time I heard it
1:16 oof thats a chunky little pattern right there i love it
That took me like 80 gazillion takes to finally get one for video that was ok... haha. Such a weird part.
@@asdrummer2008 I've been a lover of weird grooves and meters for many years but I can't even wrap my brain around what the patterns might be for that part! Phenomenal job.
Haah that part is a huge fuck you to the people aspiring to cover this song. It’s amazing.
@@Boomer.Roberts Yeah I'm trying to count it and my head explodes. groove of the year
@@gabespalding8964 the groove that built empires, and would eventually come to destroy all civilization
OUT
FUCKING
STANDING
So glad Devin’s work introduced me to your playing
Couldn’t agree more. Nailed it!
Anup is one of the best players out there right now bud, and he has far better material out there then this song.
dude you should listen to the first Intervals' EP where he plays as drummer, they are unbelievable
I'm pissed that I can't give a million likes to this! Absolutely amazing!
About once a week I come back to this video to watch it again, it has so much happy energy. One of the top 5 drum videos of all time ever. Spectacular!
Thank you! Much Appreciated!
Congrats on getting to be a part of this, Anup. It's an amazing album. Hey Devin!!!!
Thank you!
I am a repeat viewer of this video. It gets me every time.
I've never seen/heard so much emotion in something so proggy. That's crazy. This didn't disappoint whatsoever.
There's a shit load of emotion in prog. Where have you been?
@@123612100 I think that was referring specifically to the drums, which tend to be laser precise and utterly uninteresting
Well, it's not a perfect correlation, but the proggier music gets, the less mainstream it tends to be. And emotion in music has a lot to do with how we've learned via society to feel about it (minor = sad, major = happy, dissonance = anxiety, etc.). So, our learned associations get challenged by unfamiliar rhythms and we might not know how to feel about it. This song/section has wacky polymetric drumming, but it still achieves a really high level of emotion. I listen to lots of prog that I think is emotional, but the drums in this song are particularly amazing.
Anup puts *all* the stank into his performances. Gotta love it.
Probably the most complicated rhythm I've ever heard in 4/4 time signature. You absolutely nailed it.
I was trying to figure this shit out and the answer was right in front of me
@MorbidManMusic agree tho
Incredible!
Devin Townsends music hasn't hit me this hard since Terria...just realized cause Gene Hoglan was drumming on that album. This pattern is ridiculous, can't get enough
The top of this last section in drums part make me feel like a tabla routine played on the drum set , this is so great and Anup is playing each note so clean and detach , he make you understand that each note have the same importance in the construction of the song , rejoice , love , peace , we are all together here on planet earth and universe .
Anup, I’ve been a Devin fan since the early SYL days, and have traveled across the country to see him perform. Empath and Singularity in particular hit my soul in a very special place. THANK YOU for your (very gifted) part in this musical journey. I hope to see you play someday and shake your hand in person.
This gives me pride and confidence in my identification to this genre of music.
There is something about this part of Singularity ... the 1:16 point with the incredible syncopation is stunning ... then starting at about 2:25 (after the goosebumps) it gives me an intense feeling of gratitude and optimism. That's insane. I just feel it! Bravo Devin and bravo Anup!!
Holy shit yes please! Here Comes The Sun is among the most beautiful pieces of music ever written imo and you did an amazing job!
This is literally my favorite section on the entire album, the drums are soooo massive. The "through the storm" part gives me shivers EVERY time I listen to this.
Good grief that snare sounds amazing
like a pistol.
Being with with a cannon of an arm.
I must have watched this a hundred times in the last few years, and it makes me so happy every time
Outstanding playing, bro! Love this mix too.
So tight. So much power. Like perfectly tuned thunder. Positively Xerxes.
I wish I could give this a thousand thumbs up.
It has happened! The titans of Prog Metal have come together to make a masterpiece! Anup, Samus, and jazzy Agren, all playing with Devin to make an awesome album. What a treat! Great job Anup! You killed it on this track!
I love Empath from start to finish whenever I sit down to enjoy it on my rig. But “Singularity” is such an amazing piece of work......I love the journey of it and the end section that you play here is my favourite part of it......it’s soul stirring. And I still come back here to watch this on a regular basis.....just love your playing here.
Thank you Anup for sharing your talents on Empath.......you absolutely killed it.
Glorious!

The ending of this song is some of my favorite music ever written, and to see you slammin' it out on the drums with such precision and power makes for a fantastic video.
YAAAASSSSS!!! Singularity is my favourite song from Empath and the drums in the ending are just epic!
Anup, this is absolutely fantastic!
Thank you for bringing your style and your skills to this song, this is by far my favourite part!
This is my favorite movement of Singularity and Anup (as expected) nails it! I still get goosebumps the second I hear this song start.
Congratulations!! Amazing work! Well done!!! The album is amazing and the drumming is to have the jaws dropped!
Delighted you uploaded this. Favourite passage in the whole album and now that I see you playing it I still don't have a clue what's going on!
10 out of 10.
Probably cried 11 out of the first 20 times I heard it.
Incredible playing, as always. Well done - I love your work on the album!!

The movement and articulation plus every snare hit is an atomic bomb
This album, this song and this guy is not a joke. Respect =)
