According to former singer David Vincent, the band once played a prank on Sandoval by making him listen to a band that used a preprogrammed drum machine, and pretended it was a real drummer who could play faster than he could. Sandoval was gutted, and went on to practice until he managed to play faster than the machine.
To me, Pete's drumming reminds me of the precision of mathematics. Many different sets of numbers and values that come together as an elegant and precise formula to a seemingly complex equation.
Your right....and For me he also sounds very human playing. His beats are organic and his style has room to breathe even though hes fucking hauling balls. Lol. You can tell when its Pete playing versus other death metal drummers. This was great.
Good point..they have a lot of diminished, atonal, chromatic sounding stuff that just sounds spooky. My favorite is the song Diary of A Madman by OZZY, Sinister sounding chords.
They have a good drummer today and I thought K was an alright album with some notable highlight tracks like The Righteous Voice. I've heard Pete has injured his back again playing for I Am Morbid too so...
À mon avis, tout simplement le meilleur batteur Death Metal toutes périodes confondues. Quelle intensité, quelle puissance, quelle vitesse! On connait sa frappe à la prémiere fois on l'écoute, c'est brutaux. Hail Pete!!! \m/
man ! i never get tired of watching this guy pete is the shit no wonder hes one of nicholas barker`s influences among them is dave lombardo another great drummer as well and many more so ppl here dont start talking shit my taste is my taste not yours pete one of the best imho
Speed drummers are a dime a dozen. I like how precise Pete is, and his syncopation in the bridge. The rest, I can find at any studio or show, anywhere.
Pete Commando rules!!! Incredible speed and genial patterns! He is a real precursor of the blast beat and still a inspiration for all drummers in worldwide! Pete is the Death Metal!
many of the people questioning this style of drumming will never even do 100 gigs in their lives, when Pete and morbid have done thousands and like the feeling of flying
@AsAllHopeDies92 That's just his style. He isn't overly creative, but the way he plays just sounds so smooth. I can't quite explain what about his style is so intriguing.
Can't believe a short skinny guy like Pete can do such thing. One of the most precise drummers out there. "Bless Are The Sick" is probably his best work. Wanna hear him doing some really fast stuff? Listen to "World Downfall" by Terrorizer. Pete, get well, brother. Hope to see and hear you again with MB.
@MrBlastBeast 2nd trigger is for backup as soon as one falls out. Pete has been using a mix of triggered/miced drums live for a long time now (I think i started doing this around Gateways or Formulas...)
Piter is master real king is king latino es estrella y mastro y terrorizer es musica es colombia estrella piter gracia por tu musica es vida y felicidad y justicia en paz del mundo.
I was just readin up about pete and i guess he would practice until his body physically could not go any longer then wake up and start it all over again, and even managed to eventually go faster than a drum machine! idk if thats true but i have no problem in believing it!! PETE IS A GOD!!
Pete is all about excellence in interval and timings. Be sure he thinks is himself in fact divided into all the 1/4-1/16 (32ths) divisions otherwise he would have gotten out of the pace after a 10 seconds :)
is this from a dvd? Thats a very raw solid live recording, definitely captures Pete's killer distinctive feel. could've been a more beefier but I can't complain, this is too awesomel.
Dude plays this with combat boots on. wtf? That shit is hard enough to walk and march in much less punch out 32 notes on kick drums. COMMANDO! Got that shit right.
It always gets me that the top ten of anything has more to do with music that's more mainstream. Rolling Stone and the like are all guilty of this. You have some guy that listens to something like Dire Straits and when asked what drummer he likes best he picks thiers. They can't seem to get past the extreme in extreme metal to realize someone like Sandoval's potential. By the way I have nothing against Dire Straits just using them as an example.
I wonder why he uses even TWO triggers on each drum, because he plays very powerful and straight, there's no need for those tom and snare triggers imo...
Pete Sanvoval is the Godfather...we should all remember who he is and what HE started

LOL
LOL?! Seriously?
What band
@@6.thedollar415 Most likely Mortician.
@@SuicidalGrind probably explains the speed difference between domination and FFTTF
his drum fills are so clean. Simply amazing
pete may have the most iconic blast beat of all time... as soon as you hear it you know its him.

Pete Sandoval - the drummer, the inspiration, the human DM machine.
No one does it better! I wish there where more drummers like Pete!
Keep it on, Pete!!!!!!! PLEASE!!
I love the way Pete fully focuses on his drumming... it's like meditation.
Morbid Angel just sounds evil...more so than many other bands.
44stimulus It's atonal. The key is constantly fluctuating to give it a "backwards" feel.
Good point..they have a lot of diminished, atonal, chromatic sounding stuff that just sounds spooky. My favorite is the song Diary of A Madman by OZZY, Sinister sounding chords.
He is my favorite extreme metal (death metal)drummer.
I'm one of those who still miss Sandoval's drumming in Morbid Angel.
BTW I hope that 2017's album could bring back the old sound stuff that i enjoyed.
Rodrigo Villarroel this aged like milk
They have a good drummer today and I thought K was an alright album with some notable highlight tracks like The Righteous Voice. I've heard Pete has injured his back again playing for I Am Morbid too so...
petes just on another level
The king of the Kings the daddy of the dads the drumer of all drumers Mrs. Peter Sandoval
pete has a hell of an endurance trip,
Real old school morbid angel are the pioneers of death metal! New bands never born at their time! The best pete
I have been a fan of Morbid Angel for almost 13 years and Sandoval has been the back beat for the band for all that time, and I love them both.
the best drummer ever
I'm proud of this Salvadoran drummer..sos el mejor cerote
À mon avis, tout simplement le meilleur batteur Death Metal toutes périodes confondues. Quelle intensité, quelle puissance, quelle vitesse! On connait sa frappe à la prémiere fois on l'écoute, c'est brutaux. Hail Pete!!! \m/
This is a really good video showing the skill that Sandoval has. He really drives the band on and he makes it what it is today. GOOD JOB.
D. D. Crazy and Pete Sandoval are masters!!
man ! i never get tired of watching this guy pete is the shit no wonder hes one of nicholas barker`s influences among them is dave lombardo another great drummer as well and many more so ppl here dont start talking shit my taste is my taste not yours pete one of the best imho
Impresionante!! Aguante Pete Sandoval!!!
quick hands, and of course those quick feet of his. what a drummer!
Sem palavras para esse monstro 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Pete drums sounds like complete song ! AMAZING !!
Perwersyjna Perfekcja!
Legendary.
Pete is of the best out there
It's the greatest thing I've ever seen!!!
Dislikes by Jealous Drummers
Love his style is fuckin brutal and his drumming is so damn precise
THE KING!
He is definitely one of the best (or maybe THE BEST)drummer ever...
I think Gene Hoglan is better but Pete’s still a top tier drummer
For me Pete is the best Death metal drummer.
Pete is a GOAT.
LEGEND.
Simply amazing!
Pete es el padre de los blast beats
The Best
Thank you so much for posting!
morbid angel aint gonna be the same without him
Considering the Video quality, the audio is pretty good. And the playing amazing.
So gnarly.
Speed drummers are a dime a dozen. I like how precise Pete is, and his syncopation in the bridge. The rest, I can find at any studio or show, anywhere.
This comment is only true of extreme metal drumming (at this level) if you lived in Tampa, Florida in the early 90’s.
Ive watched this video a couple dozen times thinking i knew what to expect....But all be damn if Pete isnt the greatest god damn drummer EVER!!
Master of the Masters!
A Ghoul playing Drums...Pete Sandoval...
The best!
Legend!!
Pete Commando rules!!! Incredible speed and genial patterns! He is a real precursor of the blast beat and still a inspiration for all drummers in worldwide! Pete is the Death Metal!

Pete is the master.
The Master! \m/
Beautyful!
why slag Pete off? He is a legendary death metal drummer. Respect pete, you are a true legend of Metal.
Can't believe a short skinny guy like Pete can do such thing. One of the most precise drummers out there. "Bless Are The Sick" is probably his best work. Wanna hear him doing some really fast stuff? Listen to "World Downfall" by Terrorizer.

tnaktnom
I don't believe Pete is short in height. 5'10" at least.
He is rail thin though.
hermoso!!!!
@TheDarkomen9 The reason he has 2 triggers per drum is so that each tirgger is making a different sound, making his drums sound more unique.
The man, the legend, unbelievable. He is the best drummer ever and I don't even like the genre.
He's the best!
i agree with ya man,the trax soun identical
@MrBlastBeast 2nd trigger is for backup as soon as one falls out. Pete has been using a mix of triggered/miced drums live for a long time now (I think i started doing this around Gateways or Formulas...)
great blast beats you got to have that little hop movement it helps
Piter is master real king is king latino es estrella y mastro y terrorizer es musica es colombia estrella piter gracia por tu musica es vida y felicidad y justicia en paz del mundo.
The effing commando at his finest!
I was just readin up about pete and i guess he would practice until his body physically could not go any longer then wake up and start it all over again, and even managed to eventually go faster than a drum machine! idk if thats true but i have no problem in believing it!! PETE IS A GOD!!
yes!

mane he’s just the fucking best
awesomr
Just like Slayer, another legendary band that is nothing without their iconic drummer.
Commaaaaaaaaandddoooo!!!
fun fun fun
Profesor rayado!
great cover men \m/
word.
This is not level - expert this is level - Satan.
after pete all drummers are his pupilos.
Holy shit. Pete the fucking commando sandoval.
look at his boots!!!
pete kicks my ass. \../
Commando Pete bang at it!!!!
cool music!! i wonder if they ever play in the us?
@SteelProphet Okay, but I don't see any tom mics here. So maybe he uses only triggers on them and so the backup is even more important?
Well....This one goes like 2 times 5 stars shit!!!! I´ll give complete 10 stars!! He really is commando.
fucking amazing
HE IS ALSO SALVADORAN
is this from a dvd? Thats a very raw solid live recording, definitely captures Pete's killer distinctive feel. could've been a more beefier but I can't complain, this is too awesomel.
I guess you have not heard the Terrorizer demos or seen all the other Terrorizer party shows before he recorded Altars and World Downfall
Greatest drummer of all time. No argument
Commando!
Why that slow? He he. Pete is one of the greatest metal drummers for sure.
Dude plays this with combat boots on. wtf? That shit is hard enough to walk and march in much less punch out 32 notes on kick drums. COMMANDO! Got that shit right.
Dave Lombardo on steroids. Funny because both drummers come from South America.
I feel like Dave can keep up with Pete
No..pete is from El Salvador (central American)
Dave is from Cuba in central America also
@@Flaco-ip7cl Cuba is on the Caribbean! Not Central America.

@MrBlastBeast exactly!
I named my dog Maze of Torment
I wonder why he uses even TWO triggers on each drum, because he plays very powerful and straight, there's no need for those tom and snare triggers imo...
Commando is gad
