I've been following you for 6 years now, and this doesn't come as a surprise, your technique and punch to the drums is absolutely unique. I, sincerely hope the guys from Obscura give you total freedom to write your own parts, please, give this band a whole new atittude and take it to the next level! My best whishes David! Cheers from Colombia.
Big congrats on joining Obscura, man. That's really cool. I'd love to know how you get on with learning Sebastian's drum parts. Some of them sound really hard.
Sebastian's parts are on point, and that's it, he just played his roll in the band, nothing more than that. He's probably a really really good composer, but I'm pretty sure he was limited by Stephen. This right here was written by Hannes Grossman himself, which makes it the hardest part when it comes to play Obscura. I mean, we are talking about a guy that comes from Necrophagist, Alkaloid, Blotted Science and much much more. That should be the right question. How are you dealing with Grossman's parts? Absolutely, no offense and no discredit to Lanser, he did an amazing job, great beats, super clean and tight, but you gotta admit there is a huge sound gap in the drums amongst Dilivium or Akroasis and the old classics that put Obscura on the map, like Cosmogenesis or the amazing Omnivium. Just my opinion though.
@@fractalized3 I love both drummers,but personaly if i had to cover one if them it would be Hanns, because shit sebastian's druming is so "all over the place" and unpredictable that makes it ways harder (in the positive way). I personaly prefer Sebastian but i give the win to Hans when it comes to stamina and speed and keeping up with such, something that im sure the new drumer can keep up
@@jordan.na.dzielni My man, i totally get it, and as I said, i do respect his work, he's an amazing player, and I'm probably being nostalgic about this. I just never digged Sebastian's drums that much, but you can totally note the diference when it comes to punch and weird shit, although, Sebastian has some really really difficult stuff, very complex structures. But, dude... Come on, Septuagint is a good example of what I'm trying to explain here. Maybe is just how they have mixed their albums through the years, or the riffs now are a little bit more chilled ot smth idk, I'm just saying SOMEONE, didn't let Sebastian Lanser show his full potential (Think about it, you have a band, and suddenly, the fucking 75% of the band quits to form another project, including the drummer, dude, something is definitely wrong there), and Grossman's drums are a fist in da face.
@@MrSoty12345 I think you explained my point much better than i did hahahaha But that is basically it, and i totally understand that "all over the place" reference. That's the same shit i thought when i heard Diluvium. NOT BAD! I'm not saying it was bad, I mean, you could never get bored or have enough out of this guys, Am i right? BUT, for a band such as Obscura, imo they need someone with full stamina and straight tight drums like Grossman did. OR in this case, like David Diepold who has an incredible technique and his second fucking last name should be "Stamina"
@@jordan.na.dzielni That is exactly what I thought, you can actually feel that jazzy vibe in those albums! And I was wondering that same thing you just explained, thank you for sharing that detail. The fact that their sound, is always jazz-oriented in some ways, explains a lot!
Following you since so many years...i'm so glad, so proud, it's damn time you got a well-deserved gig! So much commitment, so much work, so much talent, you're the man! BRAVO!
@@el.pibedelrockHannes grossman puts on a clinic every time, regardless of what genre he plays 😂 dude is a true master of his craft. Are you talking about his blast beat video where he talks about how he can basically go forever?
@@Hip-Gnosis1134 i'm saying hannes' blast beat is way better than diepold's. Also I think hannes was way more creative, diepold wasnt the right choice for a band like obscura, he would do much better in something like nile. Completely agree with what you said
Oh my god! This is so cool!!!! I've been watching your videos for year and I literally felt happy when i watched this! This is so freaking cool man! Congrats!
Man...we are pretty sure this new lineup will kick ass! This new line up is also very talented and will work very well. Our best wishes for you & the band, cheers from Colombia. ☄️BBLST
Gl with joining Obscura, i've been following you for 5 years or so, and i've been wondering why some of the major metal bands havent signed u up yet. You are one of the best drummers i've ever seen, so damn thight , and it all looks so easy for you , well gl and keep up the solid work!
Literally stoked for you man! Its amazing and all the more inspiring to see how far you have come. Can't wait for new Obscura material with you on the skins!
Damn, that would make Obscura some kind of an ultimate metal band. Groove, precision, catchy yet musically incomprehensible riffs, wild speed, confidence and lots of different emotions attached. Clicked the replay button.
You finally made it to the big leagues, you absolute madlad. So proud of seeing your hard work pay off after all these years of watching you on youtube. I always expected you'd make it into a more brutal/grind kinda band like Cattle Decap or similar, but I know that a band like Obscura has way more space for your creative input. Can't wait to hear what you can create with these guys
F yeah!!! I don't even remember how long I've been following David for now, but just remember watching all of his videos in awe of how amazing he is! 🤘😆
man, i love your drum covers and your drummin style, since i found your channel i always wondered why the hell this machine is not in a band, well i dont even know you but im so freaking happy for you, congrats!!!
Congrats man, well deserved!! You earned that throne! When Sebastian left i was thinking of you as one of the better drummers to fill in. Keep those single foot blasts!!
One of my most favorite drummer, joins one of my most favorite band, covers one of my most favorite Prog Death song ever! Can this day get any better? Congratulations David you fucking deserved this! Can't wait to see you live and write new material with Obscura too! Hails!!
Du hast es so derartig verdient, in einer Band wie Obscura zu spielen! Ich verfolge deinen Kanal schon seit mehreren Jahren und jedes Mal, wenn du ein neues Video veröffentlicht hast, war ich kurz davor, meine Sticks an den Nagel zu hängen. Du bist nicht nur die beste Wahl für Obscura, denn jede Band könnte sich glücklich schätzen, dich am Schlagwerk zu haben. Leider konnte ich nicht am Workshop mit Kerim, Martin und dir teilnehmen, denn ich hätte sooooo viele Fragen an dich gehabt. Aber Fleiß zahlt sich nunmal aus und jetzt spielst du in einer Band, die durch dich noch mehr Potential bekommen hat. David, ich wünsche dir alles Gute für die Zukunft und ich bin schon auf zukünftige Releases von Obscura gespannt, wo du deinen Style mit einfließen lassen kannst! Du bist einfach ein Monster hinter den Drums und ich freue mich schon auf wie bis jetzt auch auf zukünftige Videos von dir! Schöne Grüße aus dem Mostviertel, bleib deinem Weg treu und ich hoffe, dich bald live erleben zu können.
I'm excited man! Been watching your vids for years and I have to say you will be perfect for that seat. I still go back and watch the Cattle Decapitation cover. Incredible. Don't fuck up your haircut and I'm not really sure how it doesn't ever move. From one drummer to you i have to say thank you!
That snare has the most beautiful poppy sound on single hits and the fluttering blast beats sounds incredibly pristine as well. You're one of the cleanest note for note drummer out there bro, keep it the fuck up David \m/
Holy crap man, it's about time you got some recognition!! I don't think I've heard a more clean player on youtube tbh, it's a rightfully deserved position my guy. I expect you'll be pushing Obscura to the max my guy \m/
I started playing in 1979 and, man, how things have changed. I remember the '80s when the coolest kits had nine drums and four or five cymbals. Now, I see these guys playing with five drums and 27 cymbals! ;-)
I've been following you for 6 years now, and this doesn't come as a surprise, your technique and punch to the drums is absolutely unique. I, sincerely hope the guys from Obscura give you total freedom to write your own parts, please, give this band a whole new atittude and take it to the next level! My best whishes David! Cheers from Colombia.
Well considering all the other members left for musical differences as well....
@@D2ezbmu they have Christian Müenzer and Jeroen Thesseling now
which means their lineup is now 75% of the cosmogenesis album
Esse cara toca muito
Toca muitt
2:24 he control the speed flawlessly
I love the sound of the snare
Holy shet man! When i heard that Sebastian left, you were pretty much the only person that came to my mind who could fill the gap! Congrats
Jyvlii seriously who else could they even pick that could actually play this insanity
@@cgrind3000 maybe Romain Goulon or Alex Rudinger
Kevin Paradis as well i think
@@jyvlii1828 Romain is a monster.
@@cgrind3000 about 500 death and prog metal drummers. they are all amazing.
Anybody with such skills (and a Weyland Yutani t-shirt!) deserves kudos and recognition! Looking forward to the next Obscura album
We are all in the "Alien: Awakening" club here!

Dude just blasts through with one foot 🔥

Blasting with push pull, this man deserves a grammy
Why? Those are weak blasts. Watch grossmann's playthrough, those are powerful blast beats. David diepold has a better foot technique tho

Been following for a long time, this is big so congrats mate! Can’t wait to see what you have in store for us in the future
I absolutley love Obscura and im so glad to see you play drums again as your one of my biggest influences
One of my favorite playthroughs that you've posted. The mix on the kit is so wonderful. Of course, top tier execution.
The most effortless blast beat I've ever seen!

Man, you and Jeroen Paul Thesseling...what a rhythm section! Can't wait to hear what comes from the next album, and massive congrats!
Damn, that would make Obscura some kind of an ultimate metal band. Groove, precision, catchy yet musically incomprehensible riffs, wild speed, confidence and lots of different emotions attached. Clicked the replay button.
So glad for you! My best wishes! You are an inspiration. Keep humble as usual.
Man, watching u playing is always breath taking!!! Perfect performance!!
Huge congrats! You deserve everything that comes your way, for the effort you've put into your craft!
Congratulations! Always loved your drumming, bringing this to Obscura are just awesome news!
Dude your push-pull technique on your left hand is basically flawless. Great work!

PARABÉNS!
O OBSCURA FEZ UMA EXCELENTE ESCOLHA !!

SSOO many congratulations dude! You are a phenomenal drummer and I hope it pushed you even further.
Haven't gotten the last couple Obscura records but your covers of songs are really good so I'm on board for the next one. Nice work!
Wow! How cool is that! Congrats David! Greetings!
David with Obscura - world is beautiful 🤘🤞🏼
So few drummers use only one pedal for fast blast beats. Lol, just noticed it. His right foot is a beast!
Besides the T Shirt and the playing, the drum production here is KILLER.
I came here to praise the t-shirt, and the drumming.
@@Rachel-rq7ci I have the same shirt. Ordered that shit off a facebook ad lmao.
Perfect combo! And happy continuation to Hannes also!
When Sebastian or Hannes play the drums it feels sooo natural. Yet, I respect your technique.
I'm excited man! Been watching your vids for years and I have to say you will be perfect for that seat. I still go back and watch the Cattle Decapitation cover. Incredible. Don't fuck up your haircut and I'm not really sure how it doesn't ever move. From one drummer to you i have to say thank you!
Hat damn! 🤘 Awesome! Also that cognizance record was great and glad your back its been awhile.
That snare has the most beautiful poppy sound on single hits and the fluttering blast beats sounds incredibly pristine as well. You're one of the cleanest note for note drummer out there bro, keep it the fuck up David \m/
Insane🔥🤘🏿one of the best...i cant wait for new Obscura
This is great .. hope yo see more videos sun..
amazing work man!!!
So awesome!! 🤘🏼🤘🏼
I can’t even imagine the amount of practice hours it would take to get this good.
David, all the best man. Did not expect this. But you surely are more than capable to fill Sebastian’s shoes. Good luck bro.
Your playing is unreal 🤘!
awesome news !! Congrats for joining Obscura!
Congratulations David! Starting a new era for metal!
D! Congratulations my man! Drums sound amazing as always have fun in Obscura! Hope you’ll still post drum videos! Choa!
Congratulations! About damn time you get the recognition you deserve.
Congratulations. May you have much success and prosperity.
Love your tee shirt and your performance as well. 👍👍
You're definitely the right man for the job, congrats!
Thats awesome! Congrats my dude
Congratulations! That is some next level skills there! \m/
Nice cover, those Cymbasl are crazy! Congrats from México!
Holy crap man, it's about time you got some recognition!! I don't think I've heard a more clean player on youtube tbh, it's a rightfully deserved position my guy. I expect you'll be pushing Obscura to the max my guy \m/
Amazing as always! Double like for the WY t-shirt
congrats bro, happy to see you get some shine, you earned it
Very well done sir. This cover showed a wide range of skills.
AWESOME VIDEO AND AWESOME NEWS! CONGRATULATION, BUDDY! YOU ABSOLUTELY DESERVE IT! KEEP BLASTING! STAY HEALTHY, STAY SAFE!👌😁
I started playing in 1979 and, man, how things have changed. I remember the '80s when the coolest kits had nine drums and four or five cymbals. Now, I see these guys playing with five drums and 27 cymbals! ;-)
Hellyeah you are back!
Oh my, thats going to be great!!!
Hannes and Sebastian both are amazing drummers, but I am sure you will kill it! Looking forward to the new stuff :-)
