#leomargarit #painofsalvation #WAIT #PANTHER #13/16+11/16 #drumplaythrough
You're one of the best drummers in the rock/metal/musicgenresarenotrelevant scene. Simply brilliant!!! I hope more and more people start to notice the results of your intense practice and dedication to the instrument. FANTASTIC, monsieur Margarit!
Génial, superbe
Its not the time signature that is odd. Its your video that is a little before the sound ๐
Trop court !!! Meilleurs vœux !
Yes mon léo, je m'écoute l'album en boucle depuis quelques jours en plus ๐ en passant , le son de la caisse claire sur Unfuture est bien chelou lol ! ๐
One of the best from Panther!!!! ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ
Amazing, as always. And this is one of my favorites ๐ฅฐ
Holly mother of God...
Pareil trop court, on reste sur notre fin ou plutôt faim musical avec ce covid system, meilleurs vœux ! Et bravos, le dernier pain est excellent ! Et tes plans de batterie sont excellents ๐
The favourite number from Panther ๐ like that despite “non-standard” time signature and complexity the overall groove sounds very organic
We have a saying... KILLER ASS!! Love it thanks now I must practice;—)
Du är grym Leo. Skaffa lite större ego och snacka som fan om allt och inget och snurra med pinnarna så blir du snart som vissa andra trummisar som syns väldigt mycket ๐ฅ๐คช
Claude-Marie Olivier
I would wait for any numbers you’d promise! Even if I don’t understand what they mean, hahaha!
Fantastique cette partie.... aussi bien a la batterie qu'en générale ! Le passage en 4/4 est superbe !
Do you want me to hook you up with a decent t-shirt company?

Killer.
Quelque part, 13/16 + 11/16, c'est presque du 3/4. Comment ça non ?
My first โdrummer of the yearโ title! Thanks again The PROG Mind for the support! ๐๐ฅณ
Well deserved, my dear!
What an awesome review of your incredible talent Leo!! Congratulations on a phenomenal performance;—)
Congratulations!๐ค๐ฅ
Well deserved!! Congratulations!!
Congratulations Leo! You really deserve it. You really shine on Panther album ๐๐๐
Completly deserved!
Congrats, Leo!! You deserve it, you're amazing ๐ฅฐ
Félicitations Leo!
Félicitations Léo, c'est mérité... Bizzz
Félicitations ๐quel parcours
Grattis Leo!!!!๐๐๐โค
Absolutely deserved. Your drumming on "Panther" was out of this world and a key factor why the album had such a punch to its sound. Without this kind of drumming, the modern sound experiment could have easily been a failure! Really inspiring. Even the critics of the album acknowledge the awesome drumming... as they should! Well done, Leo!
Bravo, bien mérité !!
Well deserved, congrats Leo!
Bravo Leo
You deserve it so much Leo, congrats ! <3
Well deserved! Now you only have to worry about the decade & then the century!
Congrats Leo!!! I'm so Happy to read this ๐ ๐ You deserve It!
earned ๐๐
Well earned ๐ค๐ผ๐๐ป!
Felicidades Leo Margarit!!Suerte
Félicitations Léo ๐พ๐ฅ๐๐๐
I can't think of anyone more deserving!!!! Way to go Leo!!!!
Grattis! ๐๐ช
Félicitations!... c'est mérité !
Hello internet, itโs been a while! Hereโs a short video I found in my Dropbox. I suppose I was saving it for rainy days! ๐ Canโt remember if I was just jamming or playing to a click track, but itโs definitely an improvisation! Throws me back to my latin jazz days...! @promarkbydaddario @evansdrumheads @paistecymbals #drumimprovisation #latinjazz #sessiondrummer
Really like, that you play on a regular equipment, but what's your opinion about the monster setups like Portnoy, or Mangini have, or something like that?
Nice! Do you do Skype lessons?? Would definitely try during my free time! ๐
Fint Leo Margarit ๐๐๐ฅฐ
Welcome back.
Is there any chance of a "Gone" playthrough?
Bonjour Léo, je vois que tu n'as pas une position de pied droit talon levé avec la batte complétement enfoncée en position initiale. Tu as le talon carrément au sol, ou tu es en position intermédiaire? ^^
Check out the recent talk I had with Proglodytes! ๐
Interview With Léo Margarit (Pain of Salvation)
proglodytes.com
I have been a fan of Pain of Salvation since the late 90s, and one of my favorite parts of their music has always been the drums. With extremely challenging songs like โHandful of NothingRโฆLove the interview. Too short though โค๏ธ
Superbe interview, pour un excellent drummer ! Un peu anti daté ça sentait presque la vodka ๐
L'interview est peut être récente mais la photo semble dater un peu ๐
Super interview ๐๐โค๏ธโค๏ธ
Iโll be doing a live interview here on Facebook tomorrow at 8pm CET, join us! ๐ค๐

You guys are saving this troubled year... ๐ค
Awesome news for this fucked up year!!!!
Génial Leo Margarit. J'espère bientôt si possible un live de la dernière tournée qui était fantastique d'émotions à l'image de l'avant dernier album.
Really???
Du coup, j'espère d'autres drum playthrough ๐ค tout prochainement !
Heck YEAH!
When will we get the live bonus tracks information? I can't waiiittt!! ๐๐๐
Should have had it remixed by the kids on the front of the album!!! They are old enough now! ๐
Here it is, ACCELERATOR!
Enjoy! ๐
PAIN OF SALVATION - ACCELERATOR (Drum Playthrough by Léo Margarit)
youtu.be
PAIN OF SALVATION - ACCELERATOR (Drum Playthrough) Taken from the album "PANTHER", out August 28th, 2020. Order now: PainofSalvation.lnk.to/PantherID...As weird as complex to understand as complex to play.๐ Well done Leo for such creativity on this drum parts!
I'm sorry but this sounds to me better than the album. It sounds killer! Great job!
So tight and relaxed at the same time! Cool man ! Grosses bises du Nord de la France ! ๐
Superbe! Merci, c’est toujours très inspirant de vous voir performer Monsieur Margarit.
Vraiment bien Léo!!! J'adore ton style sur PANTHER Cheers du Quebec
Encore un sacré challenge ce morceau... bravo !
Intense! Especially the section with the bass drum played with 1 foot! โค๏ธ
Sebastien Belva ๐คฉ๐คฉ๐คฉ
Fabuleux !
Sounds a lot like the "Road Salt" Drum/Mix. Is it the same kit?
Ça déménage.
T es belle avec tes cheveux de shampooing ๐งด de méchant !!! Bravo ! Au plaisir de te recroiser
- Ok Leo. The question is, where is the one? - which one? - thats the second question...
You are a monster
Tasty. Never overplayed. Hardest part is likely the isolated kick drum section, feels weird to not do anything with the hands to counterweight your core ๐
Grymt spel. Ståpäls delux๐๐๐ค๐ค
Monster!!!!!๐ค๐ป๐ค๐ป
Are you ready for ACCELERATORโs playthrough? @painofsalvationband @insideoutmusic #leomargarit #painofsalvation #panther #accelerator #drumplaythrough
Love it ๐ค
Merci !
Amazing, Leo! I can barely wait to see you again asap! ^_^
Yes. Yes, I am.
OH YES
๐ค๐ค
I want more!!!๐โบ
๐๐๐๐๐
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaao, Super...๐๐๐๐๐
En boucle!!!!๐
I am WAITing for the "WAIT". Rly, Leo Margarit, please xD
U R A bad man,!๐
Got a surprise from Lord @danielgildenlow yesterday! Celebrations are in order! โค๏ธ Did you listen to PANTHER yet? The album is out and available everywhere!
#panther #painofsalvation #rhum #sugarfreemojito
It's an amazing album! Congrats, Leo ♥๏ธ๐ธ
Cet album est fantastique. C'est incroyable cette manière de faire évoluer votre musique et les partie de batterie sont remarquables. Immense musicien !
It’s a masterpiece! I’m waiting for my vinyl now
Lord Daniel is the best ๐ Like you Leo. The album is unexpected, revolutionary, strange but unique, with each listening it changes and takes on new nuances
Fantastic work Leo, your drumming is astonishing as always... Can't wait to see you guys live playing Panther (hope soon)
Leo, congratulations for the awesome work you did on this album. Your drumming is simply fantastic, full of technique and energy. You deserve the best, friend. As soon as this pandemic is over, we're waiting for you here in Brazil.
Super album encore une fois
Bravo les gars pour ce coup de maître, l'album est exceptionnel! Merci !
It's an exceptional! It's been on constant replay for the last few days since I got it. Congratulations!
Ça c'est la grande classe ! Super album !
Mon vinyle est à la poste, je vais le chercher demain.
Leo, the album is fantastic! Congrats! My copies should arrive soon, but I listened on Spotify. I always know to expect something new, but I never know what it’s going to be. The way you play the quintuplets and septuplets on Accelerator is so good and unlike some people, I loved Panther, especially the rapping parts and the groove that is deceptively intricate. There’s literally no band in the world like PoS. You guys deserve world fame, the whole discography is so legendary and covers so much ground musically, conceptually, and emotionally.
I just listen it once. Not enough to have an opinion on it, like every Prog album! ๐
The album is great you guys rule !!!!
โค๏ธ Il n'a pas dédicacé chaque album à ton nom? Bah quoi ? ๐
So this is what you get payed for exceptional drumming on a brilliant album?! ๐
Je l ai pas encore trouvé en vinyle mais je ne désespère pas ๐
Congratulations!
encore un album incroyable
Bonsoir Leo ๐ Oui il tourne sur la platine en ce moment ! J'étais si contente de le recevoir que je lui ai fait un gros câlin ๐ Il me l'a bien rendu quand j'ai mis le son ! Super boulot, bravo et merci ๐ ... Je croise (tout) les doigts pour que cette dure période soit derrière nous au plus vite pour vous retrouver sur scène ๐
Merci pour ces compositions, ce son et ces rythmes complètement addictifs ! Et santé avec le Mojito ๐ฅ
Que dire ????? Une véritable tuerie.... un album exceptionnel, différent, comme vous savez si bien le faire Je vous aime <3
Vraiment énorme, j'y retrouve tout ce que j'aime . Merci pour ce beau boulot... ๐ค๐
Rätt åt dig! ๐
It gets better with every listen!
ยซ One thing I want to mention is Lรฉoโs striking performance on drums. I personally believe that he is one of the most underrated drummers in the business, and I hope that will no longer be the case after this record. With impossibly complex blast beats, stuttering and brilliantly random beats, and legendary fills, Lรฉo is more than likely going to stake his claim as the best drummer of the year, in my book. ยป
Well... What can I say...? Iโm humbled, thanks The PROG Mind !โค๏ธ
theprogmind.com
Pain of Salvation innovates yet again, offering an album of strikingly original concepts.J’adore ton playing Leo et tu es une inspiration pour moi! Continue l’excellent boulot toujours aussi remarquable pour tes pairs batteurs! ๐ค๐๐ค
Looking forward to the album, and yes, I think you are a very underrated drummer in the scene.
Juste reconnaissance de ton talent ! Tu devrais faire partie de la cour des grands... ๐
Definitely one of the greatest and most creative drummers I've ever heard!
Congratulations!!! Totally deserved!!! ๐๐ค
Agreed! Kudos.
Well deserved! Leo is the best decision PoS ever made โค๏ธ
Congratulations Leo Margarit!๐ค๐ฅ
Hearing the album right now, I totally agree with The Prog Mind!
I agree. Your work in Restless Boy is awesome.
Tellement d'accord ! J'espère que tu obtiendra la reconnaissance que tu mérites.
I agree ๐He's the best
Waouh ! Encore plus impatient de me plonger dans cet album !!! ๐ฎ
Legends are never underrated. And I think you are not underrated, but not quite well known. Feel the difference.
On le sait depuis longtemps que tu fais partie des meilleurs ! Il y a toujours eu beaucoup de finesse dans ton jeu, ça ferait presque passer les passages difficiles et les changements de rythme pour un truc facile ๐
Felicidades!!!
Bravo mon frero, je suis très fière de toi, c’est tellement mérité โค๏ธโค๏ธ
Leo you rule !!!
Me alegro mucho por ti!!!!
Deserved ๐
True that!! Impressionnant ton boulot...
Wise and true words.
You're the man, Leo!
As far as I see reading the booklet carefully this is kind of a duo album bei Daniel Gildenlöw and you: great album, great work on the drums!!
New day, new video! Today I present you with our new single PANTHER! Hope you dig it!

[Album] PAIN OF SALVATION: Panther
www.musicwaves.fr
Avec ce 'Panther' inventif, racรฉ et รฉmouvant, Pain Of Salvation met une fois de plus son immense talent au service de lโaudace et de la crรฉativitรฉ. Magnifique.Très bel article. Ça alimente grandement mon impatience d’enfin me procurer Panther
Förstår inte franska men jag förstår 5/5 ๐
Jamais aucune autre musique n’est venu puiser aussi profond dans mes émotions. Je comprends que ça puisse sauver quelqu’un.
Pain of Salvation m'a sauvée aussi... Pas un seul jour sans vous écouter... C'est un besoin vital.... Cette humanité et cette bienveillance dont vous faites preuve c'est un vrai bonheur J'ai hâte d'écouter l'album que j'ai pré-commandé et de pouvoir vous revoir en concert Prenez soin de vous โค๏ธ
๐ค๐ค๐ค
Je me retiens de lire l'article. Je veux a first raw experience for my first listening.
Hé bé ... C'est plutôt positif, non ???? ๐
Coming soon!

Can you guide us through the time signatures and the rhythmic figures please?
Leo ๐
Impatient de dompter la Panther ๐พ et de vous revoir très vite en live ๐ถ๐ค๐ผ
I'm not a musician but the first time I listened to this song I kept thinking about how difficult the time signature is. I have so much respect and admiration for you, Leo. You're certainly one the the best drummers I've ever seen.
Excited! The tracks you've released so far are so great!
Énorme cette part
Genius ๐ค
Killer!!
Magnifique son en effet si particulier et si addictif !
Yessssss ๐๐ป๐
Je suis en train de rédiger la chronique de l’album.... la batterie (jeu + son) est fantastique. Tellement organique et différent de tout ce qu’on entend généralement dans le métal. Subtil, naturel, chaud, inspiré... un vrai bonheur. Bravo !
Une idée de la date de diffusion?
Ohh you played that open handed.. Interesting! Is it only due to the position of the drums or some other reason?
Un des meilleurs batteurs de la planète
Second single from our new album! RESTLESS BOY!
Love it!
I feel like it's too short! Like, I want MORE of it! But hey, guess what, there's probably going to be another "Travis plays" video of this coming soon ๐
Love it ! Can't wait for the drum playthrough ๐ค
Love it. It feels like a builder song too, so really anxious to hear what it may build to.
Amazing job! ๐ค
Can't wait for Panda!

These are triplets into quintuplets?

Yeahhhh. That’s good news for 2020!!
that 20 seconds clip alone made August better, even before we lived it.
