yes tim is a great drummer but he sucks At writing music on drums for morbid. if you remember the illud album. t yeung wrote drums for that album only. Pete had nothing to do with it. Wierd thing is Pete said on a blabbermouth interview he did not like that album at all. and rough the drums were HORRIBLE, and he said he would of wrote the drum for that album more grindy. just in drums. but he still to heh ought that album sucked. months later David Vincent said he's out of the band and blamed his new faith in the Lord. for it. what a pathetic excuse and a moron.
2:22 he was getting down, showing all the other death metal drummers how to hit a snare, then at 2:32 he steps up his bad-assery with a well-placed twirl. Classic.
It's easy to think that being comfortable playing something like this would come off with less tension and aggression. But it occurs to me after watching this how being comfortable while you play this allows you to hit hard as hell. Fluid, powerful strokes.
It isn't about hitting it the right way...it's about the emotion behind the playing. It actually makes a huge difference if one is playing with the drummer. I'm sure Trey and David knew that there were technically "better" drummers than Pete, but they kept him because he had the right feel to his drumming, which is what makes him so phenomenal. Keith Moon of the Who is another great example...John Bonham too.
who cares about comparing the two, just be glad that MA is still going strong. I love that little right hand side hihat groove he does on the blast part, so tight sounding.
Pete used no triggers on World Downfall or Altars of Madness. Listen to the rolls in the beginning of Need To Live. They have a charisma and a certain way that is tough to pull off. Anyone can play the notes to a Rush song but can they get the same feeling as Neil Peart? No, that is very hard.
True, that's also a question to me. Although I didn't even perceive it like Tim only was a "hired gun". I didn't really follow the band's progress at the time, but it seemed to me like Tim should replace Pete, as it was still unsure how he was able to recover from his injury. Now he's back on his feet and apparently not so happy about his old band, saying in an interview that "they" made a bad decision, etc. Curious how this all will continue, would be a shame if they don't get back on track..
Toknee Marmotta Wey, ¿quién te gusta más, Tim Yeung o Pete Sandoval? Éeste wey está bien cabrón pero sigo pensando que Pete hacía más jalesillos en la pila.
He's faster,but he's younger. Max kolesne is the fastest, but said " I learn to do this seeing Pete Sandoval playing his beat". So, do I need to say anything else?
This was meant in comparison to Pete Sandoval. When Tim played in Hate Eternal, Pete had already his sixth Album on the way with Morbid Angel.. I'm not saying he doesn't have any experience, just that he probably won't be seen as a person of authority on the same level as Pete by the other members of the band. Example: When Tim would say "Dudes, let's not play some shitty industrial crap on this album", I would expect Vincent to directly throw him out of the band. Not so with Pete.
I think Pete is his prime is better than Tim now...check out the full concert of Morbid Angel playing in Montreal in 2002 with Jared Anderson. Pete is blasting faster than Tim can when I saw these guys live.
Ofcourse tim doesnt have the same emotion as pete on this song, thats because it isnt his song, if pete ever plays blades for baal then it wont have the same feel as if tim played it and thats because he wont be playing a song he created, and weather or not they use triggers shouldnt be an issue at the speeds they are going its nice to hear the double kick instead of a muffled buzz, all of morbid agreed on tim for a reason, if you like it or not thats you but he has the talent to fill in
Tim may have a greater technical ability, but Pete has the feeling that Tim does not have. Music needs feeling. Listen to World Downfall and tell me that Tim could make his notes sound like that.
Oh man.. apparently what I wrote really wasn't clear. I am not blaming Tim Yeung for the last album at all and I did not mean that he's a newbie on his skill level. All I was referring to is that, compared to Sandoval, he does not (yet) have the same legacy as a musician behind him. This means that I can imagine that he wasn't even asked if he was good with the techno tracks on the album. Pete would have been in the position to say "Guys, we will not have any industrial on there!", Tim not.
It's funny how he lolly gags in the slow parts and then goes full blast so effortlessly. That's fine; so long as he doesn't mess up. If Sandoval was fired they shoulda made more of an effort to keep Tim Y. At least he has a little fame to help them. It's a shame M.A. is in shambles now. Vadim Von on guitar and a guy I never of on drums. I don't mind Steve Tucker as much. He has some history there. They also skipped my town on their up coming tour. Maybe it's for the best.
Precisely I couldn't agree more. Kids seem to misunderstand double bass and blast beats. Phrasing and rhythm have to be near perfect, or it sounds very bad. I'd rather have a drummer in my band that has excellent phrasing and rhythm who can do 230 bpm, then somebody who does constant 270 bpm and makes noticeable mistakes.
I agree with both of you. Tim is a more technically sound drummer. But Pete's playing has more of a human aspect. His drumming has more feel. Tim is just copying what Pete did and does an excellent job. But it just doesn't have that certain something that Pete brings to the table. Pete is my favourite drummer of all time. Sad to see that we lost him to jesus :(
Tim yeung was asked by the band to fill in for pete. Not sure why he is still there since Pete is better and doing stuff with his other band terrorizer. But time yeing is good. he has a lot under his belt so I wouldn't talk down on him. Vital remains, hate eternal, devine heresy, all that remains, Nile(live I believe before George joined) Decrepid birth,
Err.. maybe you should care, because although Tim is not a bad drummer at all and seems to be a nice person, he is kind of a little newbie, a greenhorn. He probably won't have an impact on the band and will not be able to make decisions in the band which take them back on the heavier death metal road. After reading how unsatisfied Pete was with the music on the Illud record, if he was in the band at that time, I think he could have prevented it. Tim won't any soon be able to have that impact.
