Watching good drummers play at a ridiculously fast pace will always be mesmerizing to me. The way they’re so coordinated with their hands and feet in such a way that they’re able to blast through the most insane shit will never not be impressive. Thanks to a recently posted drum playthrough featuring Defeated Sanity‘s drummer Lille Gruber, I can now add him to the list of drummers that pull off crazy shit.
Posted by the band itself, the video features Gruber playing through the track “Heredity Violated” off their most recent album Chronicles of Lunacy.
“This song was based on a Latin-type rhythm and fused with a brutal riff. It also has a cool dotted note verses even cymbal thing going on.”
The clip comes weeks before the band’s headlining tour with Inferi, Organectomy and Excrescence, Scasm, and Horrific Vision.
That tour will kick off on April 16 in Anaheim, California and come to an end on May 16 in Las Vegas. Excrescence, Scasm, and Horrific Visions will only be on the bill during select shows, so you’ll have to check out the list of dates to see who will be playing when on the 27-date run of gigs.
