I've been drumming for about 6 or 7 years now, and I just discovered this band when they played a show with Chimaira and All That Remains where I live earlier this week. I really like this guy. I really appreciate how clean he can keep everything at that speed. Guy's chops are admirable, and he's got endurance too. He sounded just as sweet live as on the recording. If you get a chance to see DH live, do it. They were a pleasant surprise.
It is the drumming that takes this album to the next level, although surely a collective effort. ...Tim, you are probably the first drummer since Sandoval to really "bring it" to a studio album, and before him Lombardo... So keep up the excellent work. I wish you the best with your career...
tim YOU FUCKING OWN ! haha divine heresy was a KICK IN THE FACE when I heard your drumming really intense, and I could listenm to these beats for YEARS ! and never get tired ! ahha
I've only been playing drums for 5 months and I want to know, is it possible to play double bass pedals heel up just as fast as the heel up/heel down technique?
wow. Thats an awesome way to fight back. Tim Yeung is really advanced in music theory and how he incorporates it with dino I think is just amazing ( I say he is advanced in music theory because of his timing with the guitar and knowing when to match his beats with dino's struming)
3:25 How does he do that sound in the background and also whats is called? It sounds like someone is firing out of a silent sub machine gun, I always thought that sound was awesome. I was amazed when I heard it for the first time off some other band.
Hey guys i have a question:How do you call the beat when you do a double bass pedal pattern and the guitar goes exactly the same,something like Killswitch engage's riffs.Please reply
FUCKIN AWESOME. I knew Yeung of course was excessively fast and clean, but I never noticed while listening to the record track how that middle part is so fkn groovy. Smart stuff, loooooooove that type of drumming man. Nails it !
@fendershredder514 He Swivels. You can tell by the way he moves his legs, plus there's a video somewhere where there's a little clip of him swivelling.
@lukevertiis The bands you listed you use double bass as well. I agree it's not the most important thing in making a drummer good or bad but without it Metal wouldn't be the same.
Check out Neil's hands in some songs, YYZ for example. Some of the runs he does are not flam rolls but actual rolls where he fits something like 5 counts into 4. Neil is probably by no means as fast as some drummers out there on the double kick but he is the one who brought drumming really to the forefront. Ask Tim who his influences are & I bet Neil is one of them. For the record, I was just introduced to this guy very recently and while speed/death metal isn't my cup of tea, he's really good.
I really prefer your acoustic/natural sound over the triggered stuff. It sounds so much more killer! :) Thanks for those slower paces as well. Rock on!!!
he uses evans drumheads (now), axis pedals, and dw hardware. as far as getting a fit to sound "metal" 2ply heads are great and a double bass setup is best. if you have a double pedal, you get a lot of slapback from the head and you get lag in the slave (left) pedal.
can anyone give me a link to a video with Tim Yeung in the Worlds Fastest Drum competition. I watched it before, and now cant seem to find it again. Thanks.
Yeah I meant Shannon Lucas... because you told us to check him out. You should check out Gil Sharone. Dillinger Escape Plan's new drummer. His reggae grooves are insanely cool.
Listen to Hannes Grossmann, he's a death metal drummer and his drum fills are amazing and not always metal oriented. George Kollias is insanely fast, yes, but he can play more than just death metal and does a great job at it.
He's not human. Hybrids are built, not born. I always say there are no best musicians because everyone has their own particular style but if there is anything this machine can't play i want to know. He's insane, if your half as good as him your still the best.
James McGowan I watched him @ House of Guitars, here in Rochester, NY... He uses a side swipe motion, no shoes, just tips of feet. I didn't see set-up, so can't say for sure... But, a friend of mine grew up with him, said once that he doesn't believe he uses them, but only Tim could say for sure. I personally would love to here him tear it up "swing" style. The Morbid Angel track "Radikult" shows a varied style, and gets close. I personally like Jazz up to Metal. Those drummers paved the way... Historically!
Really? I've watched him play and he is extremely fast... That's kind of a disappointment, but thanks for the info. I'ld rather be corrected than give out bad info.
haha, i couldnt even do the slow parts in a year. anyone know what the cymbal is he plays at the end thats mostly blocked by is head or neck, by his right shoulder?
