DEVIN TOWNSEND PROJECT drummer Ryan Van Poederooyen has checked in with the following update:

"Pearl Finland posted this drum cam video of the Devin Townsend Project song 'Juular' from our headlining set at the Tuska Open Air Festival in Helsinki, Finland, which took place on July 23rd. Thanks to Pearl Drums for the cool footage and for the continued support. I couldn't be a happier endorsee!"

Van Poederooyen recently discussed his work on the Devin Townsend Project's new album, Deconstruction, in a recent interview with BW&BK;'s Carl Begai. An excerpt is available below:

“I’m very proud of it,” Ryan says of Deconstruction. “Devin decided that he was going to have different musicians play on each of the four records because they’re so different from each other. I think Dave Young and I are the only guys to appear on more than one; Dave played on every frickin’ record (laughs). It’s funny because he played keyboards, but he’s on tour he’s the guitarist. He’s so talented, it’s unbelievable. I got the Addicted record, and when Deconstruction came up Devin was looking for some crazy heavy hitters. He asked Dirk van Beuren from Soilwork, who’s a monster and a sweetheart of a guy. He’s very inspiring to watch. Devin approached me as well to play on half the record, which was awesome.”
“I think Deconstruction is hands down the most creative, the most versatile, the heaviest and best piece of work Devin has ever done. I don’t know if he’ll ever be able to top the craziness of Deconstruction. It’s out of control but in control. Every instrument is on fire; it’s crazy musicianship on the record, but very creative. Everyone knows that Dirk can blastbeat like a madman – like he did with Scarve – but this albums shows off how fast and insane Dirk can be. I go to do some fast stuff, too, which is cool because with Devin I’m known as a groove drummer.”
