[DC]

Hands down, the BEST “Davidian” drum cover on YouTube!

[lanecore]

One of the heaviest outros in Metal history. Glorious

[antonstefanov]

Chris Kontos is the best thing that happened to MH and this man did a hella of a drum cover

[fqsrgzk]

This song has the best drumming of all time

[bradkinder]

LET FREEDOM RING WITH A SHOTGUUNNN BLAST!!!

[johnnymetalheart]

No way this guy is a random amture, he is definitely a professional in a well-known band or used to be, those skills are insane, he's been drumming his whole life!

[jamisonallen]

Can't drum nor strum for the life of me but watching the drums has to be the most enjoyable instrument to watch being played!

[imedgygoaway]

2:22 god that ride cymbal hit before you go back in the double bass gave me chills, absolutely insane drumming but still tasteful, it's so good!

[lebrato]

Chris Kontos is pure music. Everything in the right place, enhancing the song!!!

[MYARSEHOLEBURNS]

I bet his drums start shaking when he enters the room.

[bighunter]

My 7 year old is a metal head learning drums. I’ve tried getting him to start with slower songs but all he wants to do is play metal. He learned the opening of this song by watching your video. Thanks for sharing. We love your drumming! Adding a second bass drum and floor Tom for him.

[roonei]

I think during the “Burn my eyes” rec sessions Chris Kontos delivered one of the most interesting and artistic pieces of drumming in modern groove-thrash metal...And to you Lars (what if...nah there is no way), well to you sir congratulations for the spotless cover!

[joeyjones]

my all time favorite drum production on an album. dude was a sick drummer and that was a badass cover.

[smudgepost]

Watched this so many times it now superceedes the original in coolness. My favourite track, awesome cover.

[waylonbeegle]

That subtle neck stretch at 2:46 is sick! U know he is in the zone !

[duzzitmatter]

Criminally underrated song, album and band! Excellent choice and work!!!

[andreortiz]

The best version cover of this song...

[lugwalder]

After watching a few vids of this kid, he can sure play them drums.

[skodas]

this GUY really show us how much work put behind those drums the musicians which influenced our lives...cheers

[FlukeFIN]

that extra cymbal hit at 2:22 really sounds like its supposed to be there:D
