Century Media Records 2016.
One of my favorite drummers. His style is very organic and non-mechanical while being blazing and precise at the same time.
@JC Elian if you don’t like death metal than you don’t like it and don’t get it. And we don’t care.
@JC Elian great comment
@JC Elian you need ear check up.
@@Carriesaglock thsts exactly it
@JC Elian lol...yet he watches sickdrummer haha bored of moby dick yet?
I remember watching this in 2016, telling myself that by the time I'm the same age as Ken in this video, I want to be able to play at least 80% of this song. I am actually now the same age as Ken was in this video, and I am close to about 20%. His drumming is madness.
Honestly I only listen to aborted because of Ken
I feel your pain.
He grooves like no one, his fills are so rich, clever and jazzy as hell, he's got everything ; balance, calm, precision, power, nuances...what a fucking genius - I can watch this all day...
tinkoasd nothing about anything he's played is jazzy lmao. All blast beats, double bass, and tom fills
Or you just being ignorant and doesn't notice that his fills and breaks are very sophisticated and have accent and rythms intentions very similar to ones we can hear in jazz.
Also - read on him, 'cause its facts.
Wonder if you realize the context blasts are used in now is nowhere near the same lol also his fills are not "intricate". Just fast back and forth hands and feet. Quick jerking this guy off. He's not great, just cranks his metronome up
Haha - you're just being ignorant.
I recommend you to decompose slowly its fills and to dare say that but I really think that you don't know music theory, either that or you're a mediocre musician. Go talk to any professionnal that knows what he's ralking about and you'll what he's thinking of Bedene.
And dynamics are everywhere, you must not get the meaning of that word I guess.
There's literally one part like 3 min in that isn't straight death metal drumming and has some dynamic. Tfoh, go listen to a real jazz musician for jazz chops, turd
amazing to see how metal drummers have evolved their playing from early rudimentary but still effective patterns (think of manowar) to this level of complexity.
and all within 15 or so years lol. Imagine drumming a century from now!
Grant Oehmler olympic level drumming better be a thing by then
@@SmackemYackem I see your comment is 5 years old, meaning 15 years ago = 2002, but even by then and before there were drummers going as fast and technical or faster than this, like Flo from Cryptopsy (first album released 1994)
Right now this is pretty much my high bar for how straight death metal should sound.
Corranhorn122 this is deathgrind though
@@jadbatrouny6250 Shut up. Subgenre nerds are the worst.
@@SamClarkschannel 🤣🤣🤣🤣
while i am not one for subgenres, this is definitely not "straight death metal"
Can't he just be a badass drummer that fits into wtf subdivision of metal yall say he is or isn't? Im pretty sure we can all agree that the only way we could actually label him would be is "better than anyone in this discussion-metal."
This is 255-260bpm, stop looking so completely chill! How is it even possible holding a straight face at that speed lol
Hey I am not drumming so just wondering how you guys determine the bmp , by ears?
+Thébaïde I didn't determine it by ear haha. I can usually kinda feel the bpm of a song but it's not really accurate, often around 5 to 20 bpm off
+Thébaïde and that just comes with listening to a lot of music and playing a lot of drums and guitar, after a while you get a feeling for different tempi
Oh okay I see thank you!
i swear he looks bored in all the videos i see him in, he just has that look of "yeah whatever"
One of the best out there
The best with longstreth in my opinion
more please ! Ken is such a beast !
Hey, Ken. I was front row at 529 tonight in Atlanta watching you guys with Cryptopsy. I was the obnoxious guy yelling "best drummer ever!" , and after your set, as you were packing up, I told you that I loved this video and you gave me a fist bump. Thank you so much for coming here to play. You guys are amazing live and watching you play up close was legendary. Thank you so much for making the journey here and I hope you guys come back. GREAT SHOW!!!!
We need more of these instrumental versions of their songs :D
Also, fantastic drumming!
Outrageous how good this guy is at drums. Such a unique groovy style to extreme metal
Love how chill this guy is, probably the most brutal band out there and he's like yeah whatever
I also can't play like that
this man have a fucking thecnique.
Hugue Bouchard technique
Me too we have that in common lol
jerking off at such BPM doesn't count as drum playing man

Holy shit the way he plays that open handed hi-hat with such ease! God damn! Many kudos to him for being able to pull that off with practically no effort! Ken's a total monster!
No doubt the best death metal drummer there is when it comes to acuracy, presicion, tightness and speed.
Godly, makes it look so easy with a jazz feel, easily in my top three drummers.
OMFG, Jesus fused with Cyborg.
I'm actually crying 😂this comment is life
Those cymbals are high af
YouNoob93 they're higher than I am right now
Its hell of an overstrain..
That's a common thing when you are recording. I usually have everything pretty close but when I go record in the studio, cymbals be further away than usual. The engineer always makes me do that. I believe it helps tom microphones capture less cymbal bleed, but I ain't no expert.
@@FilipeGomesDrummer Happened to me too. I'm a low and close typically with my drums when I practice then I recorded for the first time and engineer was like "we gotta alter this". Definitely for cymbal bleed.
I'm high af, so are the cymbals
This guy has amazing pedal control, one of the best!
Ken Bedene, great sound, great drummer. Can't wait to have the new Aborted cd
0:57 He's looking at the ride like ' Are you alright, darling?' 😁 Awesome drummer, Swivel from Hell!🤙
He mastered swivel foot technique and shows he can play with many other techniques as well . He probably did this in one take . It’s like a walk in the park for Ken !
Absolutely loving this band!!!!!
Hahaha, I can't believe that's the same Ken I saw live a few month ago. Same asskicking performance, but no expression on his face here. Live, he was constantly smiling and I thought he was the happiest drummer in the world.
From one steeler to another yinz jagoff
Face expression is epic. Like it's no big deal...
Just another day at the office and a Cup o' Joe right?
This album is the best of all... keep it that way!
a beast blasting the drums.
I've seen a lot of metal drummers in my life and Ken was the only that made people cheer during the sound check. His blast beat during the sound check was unreal sounding. Sure I've heard faster, but something about the way he made the blast sound, it was an overwhelming feeling.
ABORTED is one of my favorite bands. 1 of only 5 bands I have on rotation usually.
Lemme get those cyborg legs.
I could watch this dude play all damn day
I could stare at that foot cam all day...so clean, powerful, precise, skillful...damn
That swivel.
this is what happens when you genuinely love what you do! quite possibly the best overall drum sound ever too!
How come his name is nowhere in the description!?
Ladies and gentleman, KEN BEDENE!
I was searching for his name, it's a god
Omg this must be the ultimate edge in metal drumming
He's got some earthy china's goin on here. Fucking brutal \m/
I like so much this song !!!!
So fucking impressive in so many different ways! This mix is perfect too! Ken is a monster. One of the best death metal has to offer for sure.
Ken is the beast! Perfect drumming skills!
Some say he's a cyborg... he is not, he is just the Roger Federer of metal drumming...
Bedene always looks so chill playing. He's amazing.
my favorite drummer ,
Drum sound of the year award!!
Love how the longer he gets into the song and more warmed up.... the kick technique changes!!
The breakdown drumming is just amazing and groovy, it makes you think how you didn’t think of it yourself!
What sticks out to me,other than the sweet top half,is the different ways he plays his kicks,to match the speed and intensity of the piece,in my opinion the best extreme drummer out there!!
muchas veces la gente dice que el death metal es ruido, pero cuando la perspectiva cambia y vez la velocidad y ejecución de los musicos, no pueden negar que tocan bastante bien
This dude shreds every instrument he plays
that kit really sounds mean
Is anyone else really missing his glasses? :P
The funny thing with Ken Bedene is that when a part comes when he must blast around 250-280bpm all of his muscles suddenly get really relaxed and he looks that he is more comfortable playing blastbeats at those tempos than lets say 4/4 drumbeat with a tempo like .. 120bpm? This is fucked up.
Sofa jammin' lol.....looks ez cause of all the impeccable techniques he's put time into applying.....still not human either way!🤘
Those blast beats. I love them.
20 years ago I used to think Ray Herrera from Fear Factory was like a drum machine with his feet. This man is on a whole other level that I personally will never come close to reaching and he makes it look so damned easy.
I seen Herrera many times. He did alot of double bass bursts, to this day he was still badass.
1:26 to 1:32 is kind of the only thing I would manage in this song.
Me favorite drummer 👍👍
what an animal.cyborg animal.this is so precise and intense that i cannot comprehend all at once
Masterclass. That kit sounds phenomenal.
What a great song and performance...thank you!!!
my favorite band and drummer! teach me drums please!!!
I loved the groove on the final part
lmao the eye roll at 4:01, he's like "yeah, whatever..."
BEAST MODE ACTIVATED
His playing is a pure eargasm
bro you done ur self sick perfect dont change it and thats that
Thats were Amazing!.
amazing!!! groovy, precise, creative and a real good technique
Stunning playing, amazing drummer! Sound-wise, those small toms have more bass in the mix than the bass drums themselves, which is pretty unrealistic EQ'ing, but I guess you do what you have to do to be heard in the mix.
it only sounds like that because of the timbre of the bass drum/material of beaters and how its produced to make sure it cuts through the mix
This is soooooooo friggin awesome.And i love the fact that it is a proper live take...its even not the same take as on the record..and i think this sounds better than on the record..cooler fills..and the sound...whoohaa.Greeeetings from Norway :)
OMFG. amazing.
Love this set
killer groove..
Awesome!
Love the sound comming off of those toms :)
beautiful
I love how Bedene makes the most complex shit look like it's the easiest thing ever.
He makes it look so easy, but it isn't. Great technical perfection but with a lot of feeling. Retrogore best deathmetal album of 2016 so far!
HELLYEAH!
Man that was something else, it would be siic to see a play through of Retrogore, the new record is fucking insane
fucking legend! he's sooo fucking good!
Fantastic
Holy shit!! I'm 65 and may have just had a fucking stroke!! Last time my feet moved like that...ok, they NEVER moved like that! WTF??!!
I'm hoping to God that this guy is sponsored by PEARL!!!
Exelenty
AMANJING!!!
wow that was sick
One of the Sickest DM Drummers of All Time
Dude, absolute madness!
Hammering with ease... Fireplay 🔥
PERFECT!
Mesmerized...
