I think they are the cause of the devolution of metal. A genre with so much creativity and originality is now being taken over by trends. It's a dying breed.
@EndofCadaver It's also important to make sure the snare wires are centred correctly so you get the most response from them. he also makes just about every hit a rim shot, so that affects the sound and makes it louder
Evidently from the comments music theory is far more important than being able to play well; well done guys. You've really got the point of this video. And I'm guessing from all the criticism you can all play drums better than this guy.
@Tylerthemetalking Yeah, his blasting and double bass is faster than lots of metal drummers, but in terms of creativity, power and endurance he's outshined by Derek Roddy and John Longstreth.
@ipwntillidan Cause it's one of there slower songs, less technical on the drums. Listen to there other stuff like Disengage or Unanswered. Quite impressive. It's not 'FUCKING CRAZY' but the thing is, he is so consistent and perfect with what he plays. Which is KEY in drumming.
True but the groupings are 3,3,2 which might not feel like 4/4 to him and it boils down to perception. For example- I often think a groove is displaced because my inner count is a crotchet off the song's count. Maybe he didn't even mean the time signature when he said timing?
@kook1028 as far as i can tell its 4/4 but goes over 2 bars before it resolves itself. im not up to scratch with my theory. i need to brush up on time sigs.
when he plays it slow, he does it different on the toms. if anyone knows, can u tell me how he plays it regular time with like L and R or watever please
@jessechisel126 drums is a very natural instrument, if you don't have beat naturally it is gonna take you years to be able to play even simple beats on drums fluently, unlike piano where music theory is vital, drum music isn't ussually written by metal bands, it's not needed, try witting forgotton by lamb of god in drum music.
they are going to FUCKNG ROCK!! in st. louis on sunday night at pop's nightclub cant fucking wait and the headligner is none other than MEGADETH!!!!! >:)
