Michael Martin - Otargos - Xeno Kaos - Drum Playtrough

Описание: Hey guys !

I am Michael Martin and as I have already told you: I will be drumming for the french black/death band OTARGOS for the coming weeks, months and years !!!
This is a playthrough of the title track from their latest record Xeno Kaos. The exact tempo is 240BPM.

All OTARGOS' drum parts are amazingly demanding in terms of speed, stamina and control. Of course, I've learnt this song by ear so there might be some slight differences between the studio track and my version.

I'm using flying finger technique for blast beats and double-stroke technique for the super fast foot parts.

Tempo is 240 / no edit / only one take

Special thanks to my partners in crime:
Martin Montillet from KRD Audio for recording the drums
Clément Denys from Fractal Universe for the video edit. Welcome to the family dude ;)
Simon Evangelista (Black March) & Fred Blanchard (Silent Ruin Studio): mix and mastering
Colin Segalowitch from Buddy Drum Shop https://www.buddydrumshop.com
