This is most likely one of my proudest release this year, both as a drummer and mixing engineer. I highly recommend to check it out! Vanya Merc is an outstanding Stockholm based guitarist who will blow your socks off, and also my bro Gustaf Hielm Official is playing magic bass grooves on all the tracks! Enjoy!

The second track off the upcoming "Sideshow" EP. As the title suggests, it's a veritable menagerie of musical influences all wrapped up in easy-listening Muzak, and my favourite track thus far. Featuring Leo Margarit on drums & Gustaf Hielm on bass.And here’s another song from the album: A Matter of Time by Vanya Merc on Audius audius.co/vanyamercguitar/a-matter-of-time-352245 The others will come one by one!
Hello Leo, pas mal du tout, interpellé par le choix de poster l'album sur Audius. Je serais volontiers preneur d'un retour d'expérience...
Groovy baby
Super duper! As always 🙂
Coming next week, KEEN TO A FAULT’s playthrough!
Je t’avais bien dit que de jouer avec des baguettes en plomb ça te mettrait les triceps en valeur !
Yessssss ! J'adore !bravo léo ! Rappelles moi la marque et le modèle de ta snare qui sonne si énorme !! Bizz ❤️🥁✌️😜
Mais c’est qu’il est taillé le type 😉😉😉
Whaou, la musculature du type 🙂
T’as déjà pensé à faire une live session? Je vois bcp des artistes qu’ont commencé à travailler avec ça pendant la pandémie et c’est une grande opportunité d’intégration. Salut!
My favorite from album. It has POS flavour from RL era.
Oh, I LOVE this one 😍
Bravo!!! Un de mes morceaux préférés de l’album, brillamment joué à la batterie (comme d’habitude 😉)! ❤️❤️
Punaise, c'est trippant!!! un de mes morceaux fétiches de Panther ! 🙂

If I remember correctly, weren’t you introduced with a drum solo over that end section on Johan’s last PoS show in Notodden in 2007?
Premiere on Tuesday 6th at 6pm CET on YouTube! youtu.be/bBs8E8Su9N8
See you there!
Handful of Nothing! This Is gonna be great!
Today I had the pleasure to perform live as a singer with my good friend Fredrik Hermansson. We decided to go with a French theme and only performed French classics!

Pardon my French 😜👋
Wow! Les garçons! Quelle belle surprise! Vous êtes talentueux et c'est vraiment plaisant d'entendre Léo chanter en français! Chapeau pour "Tous les cris les s.o.s."... Magnifique chanson et interprétation! 🎶💞
Nihil Morari and its intricate alternance of triplets and dotted 8th notes that sound almost identical to the novice ears… When @insideoutmusic asked me to record a playthrough for one of the songs from BE, this is the first one that came to my mind. I had never played it prior to making the video so needless to say it hasn’t been easy! Once again I tried to respect Johan Langell’s way of playing it and I haven’t changed much if anything at all… After all on a piece like that, everything is written to the point by Daniel and there is no space for improvising! I’m not sure the original recording had a click track but I made one following the slight tempo fluctuations, « erased » the original drums from the track and re-recorded and mixed them in my studio.
As usual the whole thing is filmed with only one camera (thanks @patriksjoeberg ) and cut together afterwards.
The full playthrough is available on InisideOut’s Youtube channel (www.youtube.com/watch?v=94J7R5jhDVo&feature=emb_logo). Enjoy!
Leo Margarit is the best <3
Good work! I'm so impressed by your bass drums playing! Beau travail!
Géant ! Merci 🤘
As good as the original, as always!
Yeah!!! 🏆
Leo the great😄
❤️❤️❤️
Wow Leo, thank you very much for this one! I`m a big fan of Pain of Salvation for about 15 years now, and one reason for that are unique drumpatterns like in Nihil Morari - drives me crazy 🤣 It also fascinates me what might be in Daniels mind to pull of such "weird stuff" somehow natural 😀 Anyway, You definitely enrich the band very much with your skills, your musicality and personality !!! I also have to mention that the sound of the drums developed fantastic since you've been in the band! Your drum playthroughs demonstrate that you have remarkable skills in recording and mixing your drumkit - maybe you will share youre recording-experience in another video!? Would love to see that! 😍 Keep up the good work, i will go now behind my e-drum kit and desperately try to play along youre track 😅
Here it comes! Watch the whole video on @insideoutmusic YouTube channel, or click on the link in my description! Enjoy!
youtu.be/zDzrglYYVvM
The warmer drum sound of the world!!!!! Love It 🔥🔥
Léo, tu joue très bien et j’aime beaucoup ton style! Je joue aussi de la batterie et je ne peux pas jouer tout ce que tu joues 😅. Je viens de Montréal au Québec et j’aimerais bien voir Pain of salvation en concert un jour! Salutations!
Toujours passionnant de redécouvrir le morceau au travers de ton jeu. J'ai l'impression de davantage plonger dans sa complexité. Merci!
Är det Seinfeld?
Leo 🥰
Beautiful song! Stellar performance! ❤️❤️❤️
Did you change anything on the other tracks? I think I can hear some different sounds compared to the original.
You really were extremely focused on the patterns.. But I always love you see playing - even when not smiling! 😉 🤘
Excellent song, excellent drums...my vote was for Leo Margarit The Progspace
Can't wait to see you guys on stage again 🖤
No idea what you’re doing there but it sounds amazing! 🤘
🤘🤘🤘👏👏👏
We have a date! Let’s meet up you and me on Tuesday 2nd at 5pm CET on @insideoutmusic YouTube channel for the whole WAIT drum playthrough! 🙂
Génial!
Bruno Morpheo Allan Infante
Leo, your playing is simply awesome! 😊🤘
You got me at "We have a date..." 😁😉
Lovely playing. What song is this?
Excellent tes plans de drum 👌🙏 oh c'est trop court.
Burner 💪🏼
Behöver lektioner känner jag, när jag ser proffsen lira 😀
beaucoup trop court ! Sublime
One of my favourite from PANTHER 🙂
Another cool project I've been part of recently! Written by David Theraulaz also responsible for the bass and video production. Players are my good old friend Chris Ribera on the guitar, Melanie Yarger on the cello and Valeriy Stepanov on the keyboard. Mixed by another of my childhood best friend Nicolas Theraulaz! Enjoy!

Awesome!!! ✌🏻🥂
Fancy some 13/16+11/16? Look no further! The WAIT drum playthrough is around the corner, coming on @insideoutmusic YouTube channel in a few days!
#leomargarit #painofsalvation #WAIT #PANTHER #13/16+11/16 #drumplaythrough
Its not the time signature that is odd. Its your video that is a little before the sound 😋
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!
I would wait for any numbers you’d promise! Even if I don’t understand what they mean, hahaha!
We have a saying... KILLER ASS!! Love it thanks now I must practice;—)
The favourite number from Panther 🙂 like that despite “non-standard” time signature and complexity the overall groove sounds very organic
One of the best from Panther!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Amazing, as always. And this is one of my favorites 🥰
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 👏
Do you want me to hook you up with a decent t-shirt company?
“Partially muted due to copyright claim” 🤣😂
Yes mon léo, je m'écoute l'album en boucle depuis quelques jours en plus 😊 en passant , le son de la caisse claire sur Unfuture est bien chelou lol ! 😁
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 💥🤪
Fantastique cette partie.... aussi bien a la batterie qu'en générale ! Le passage en 4/4 est superbe !
Trop court !!! Meilleurs vœux !
Killer.
Génial, superbe
Claude-Marie Olivier
Quelque part, 13/16 + 11/16, c'est presque du 3/4. Comment ça non ?
Holly mother of God...
My first “drummer of the year” title! Thanks again The PROG Mind for the support! 🙏🥳
Congrats, Leo!! You deserve it, you're amazing 🥰
Well deserved, congrats Leo!
Mycket välförtjänt, grattis!
Grattis! 👏💪
Bravo Leo !
Bravo, bien mérité !!
Félicitations 👍quel parcours
Well deserved! Now you only have to worry about the decade & then the century!
Congrats to all who voted for you for their good taste! 👍🤘😉
Congrats Leo!!! I'm so Happy to read this 🙂 🙂 You deserve It!
You deserve it so much Leo, congrats ! <3
I can't think of anyone more deserving!!!! Way to go Leo!!!!
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!
What an awesome review of your incredible talent Leo!! Congratulations on a phenomenal performance;—)
Congratulations Leo! You really deserve it. You really shine on Panther album 🌟🌟🌟
Well deserved!! Congratulations!!
Felicidades Leo Margarit!!Suerte
Et c'est on ne peut plus mérité. Félicitations 🤘👍!
Félicitations Leo!
earned 👌🙏
Well earned 🤘🏼👌🏻!
Grattis Leo!!!!😎👍👌❤
Congratulations!🤘🥁
Completly deserved!
Bravo Leo
Hello internet, it’s been a while! Here’s a short video I found in my Dropbox. I suppose I was saving it for rainy days! 😀 Can’t remember if I was just jamming or playing to a click track, but it’s definitely an improvisation! Throws me back to my latin jazz days...! @promarkbydaddario @evansdrumheads @paistecymbals #drumimprovisation #latinjazz #sessiondrummer
Nice! Do you do Skype lessons?? Would definitely try during my free time! 😜
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?
Fint Leo Margarit 👏👏🥰
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? ^^
Is there any chance of a "Gone" playthrough?
Welcome back.
Check out the recent talk I had with Proglodytes! 🙂
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 “Handful of NothingR…Super interview 👏👏❤️❤️
L'interview est peut être récente mais la photo semble dater un peu 😊
Love the interview. Too short though ❤️
Superbe interview, pour un excellent drummer ! Un peu anti daté ça sentait presque la vodka 😂
I’ll be doing a live interview here on Facebook tomorrow at 8pm CET, join us! 🤟👊
