Helloween's Daniel Löble shares drum-cam video from Hellfest performance
Daniel Löble’s Hellfest drum-cam puts Helloween’s “We Burn” under a microscope, showing how speed, endurance and festival control look from behind the kit.
Daniel “Dani” Löble’s new Hellfest drum-cam gives metal drummers the kind of close-up view festival footage usually hides. Shot during HELLOWEEN’s June 19 set in Clisson, France, the clip turns “We Burn” into a study in footwork, stick control and how a player stays composed when the stage is moving at full speed.
That matters because Hellfest 2026 was a major pressure-cooker for live metal: the festival ran from June 18 to June 21 in Clisson and brought together 183 artists, including 85 acts playing Hellfest for the first time. HELLOWEEN’s slot landed on Friday, June 19, on Mainstage 1 from 18:35 to 19:55, which means Löble was working in the most exposed setting possible, with the band’s live sound carrying across a packed festival crowd.
For drummers, the value of the footage is in the mechanics. A drum-cam like this lets viewers lock in on the kick and snare relationship, the way the cymbals are placed to keep the part readable at speed, and the economy of motion that keeps a fast song from turning into a wasteful workout. It also shows the transitions, where a player has to move cleanly from one section to the next without losing the pulse. In a song like “We Burn,” those details are the difference between a performance that simply gets through the tune and one that feels tight from the first bar to the last.
The song itself adds another layer. “We Burn” comes from The Time of the Oath, HELLOWEEN’s 1996 album, so the Hellfest clip also works as a live snapshot of a classic 1990s power metal cut still hitting hard on a modern mainstage. Löble has been HELLOWEEN’s drummer since 2005, and the video reinforces how central his playing is to the band’s live identity.
That drummer-first approach also runs through Löble’s online presence. His YouTube channel, Behind the Drums, is built around tour stories, backstage insights, drum videos, gear talk and studio moments. The Hellfest post fits that lane perfectly, giving metal drummers a clean look at how a veteran player handles speed, stamina and festival-stage clarity when everything is moving fast.
