As somebody that doesn’t play drums and is usually barely coordinated sufficient to stroll with out tripping over my very own ft, what I simply witnessed within the video under is completely spellbinding. It’s no secret that Gojira drummer Mario Duplantier is a high tier drummer among the many likes of different fashionable drummers like Mastodon’s Brann Dailor, Demise Angel’s Gene Hoglan, and Converge’s Ben Koller (simply to call just a few). So any time the dude posts a drum solo, we’re gonna share it right here.
For slightly below two minutes, the dude goes off on a chunk he’s titled “Meteor”. Just like the solos we’ve featured earlier than, it has the Frenchman going off on his drums. I don’t even know the right way to describe it with out sounding like a fucking knuckle-dragger. “Moustache man hit drums guud. Make cool sound.” And identical to pornography, you’ll know good drumming while you see it.
It’s good to see Mario maintaining along with his chops, contemplating there’s phrase that Gojira’s exhausting at work on a brand new album that he stated is “going to be heavier” than the band’s 2021 album Fortitude.
“Yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah. We work on new stuff for a very long time, truly. We have now lots, lots, a variety of concepts. We have now buildings of latest songs. However we’re so choosy that we actually wish to take this time to drop one thing very distinctive. And why not having extra songs to report? As a substitute of getting 10 songs, perhaps have like 15 songs; I don’t know. However we’re engaged on it very exhausting. Nevertheless it’s a bit early within the course of to speak concerning the date of launch and all that. However what I can inform is it’s on a great way. We’re very happy with what we’ve got proper now.”
So hit play on the video under and simply attempt to sustain.
