2012 drum clinic performance of DTP's "Juular"

Here's a video from my 2012 drum clinic tour in Germany, organized by Meinl Cymbals and Tama Drums. This one is for the song "Juular" by Devin Townsend Project, off 2011's Deconstruction album. A mighty fine double kick workout indeed- as Devin once told me, the part in "Juular" where the drummer gets to breathe is during the blastbeats! (Huge thanks to Philipp Koch for putting this one together).

I'll post some Soilwork studio footage soon. In the meantime, make sure to get your copy of our new double album The Living Infinite and come see us on tour!
