A drummer performs Death’s “Crystal Mountain” in Drumeo’s “For the First Time” challenge, creating a drum arrangement after hearing a drumless version of a song never heard before. He makes quick notes on tempo and feel changes, then delivers a final take that emphasizes hardcore and punk as the beat’s backbone while adding many solos over constantly shifting riffs. Afterward, the original drum track is played back in, showing his visible reaction to Gene Hoglan’s double ride grooves and razor-sharp double bass. He states he is a fan of Korn and Slipknot despite being known for pop, punk, and R&B. The video ends with Gene Hoglan reacting to the performance, impressed even though it does not fully match the original.
"Lady Gaga / Alkaline Trio drummer Tosh Peterson performed Death 's "Crystal Mountain" as part of Drumeo's "For the First Time" series, which challenges musicians to come up with a drum arrangement on the spot after hearing a drumless version of a song they never heard before."
"Peterson winds up tackling the extreme-metal song right away, taking only one pass to make notes of tempo and feel changes before performing a final take. His approach leans far more into hardcore and punk for the backbone of the beat and features plenty of solos over Death's constantly shifting riffs."
"After completing his final take, he is then played the song with the original drum track back in. Peterson's face lights up listening to Gene Hoglan's drum work, with visible pops from him during Hoglan's iconic double ride grooves and razor sharp double bass playing."
"The video then ends with a surprise cut to Hoglan's reaction to the performance, who is impressed by Peterson's skills even though his playing didn't quite match the original drum track. Peterson previously appeared on Drumeo two years ago doing the same challenge, that time with Deep Purple's "Fireball.""
