Have you ever wondered how drummers like Joey Jordison from Slipknot can get so many BPM's in on the bass drum when he's playing ? I have so... I looked it up on Youtube and this is what I learned so far.

And this dude plays double bass with double pedals on each drum. Silly !

This is super corny but watch the drummer... hilarious.

As a former proffesional drummer myself, i can say the reason Joey gets that bpm going is not the trigging, hes just fast, but not really the fastest or tightest.. i played nearly as fast as Joey when i was activ with just a double kickpedal.. all it takes is reps, like jitz!! ;)
Check out this guy, Derek Roddy. I respect his skills and all that, but im really not in to the hole fastest drummer thing.. it seems every blastbeat drummer lacks power because of the insane speed. I much more prefer drummers like Thomas Haake from Meshuggah and Danny Carey of Tool. Both insanely skilled but with great power also. :)

Ever heard the song Bleed by Meshuggah? The crazy thing is they play just as tight live... just an awesome dark machinery of technical mastery...

And btw.. their last album, Koloss is heavy as fuck!! This is where you truly can beat your drumkit to death if you wanted, the speed thing is nearly with no power, thats why they use triggers to get the sound out in an even response to the PA.. since its the drum module making the sound and not the drumshell in it self, see?

Haake and Danny Carey own.
That's impressive but I agree with you. When it's all speed then it's not musical and if it's not musical then what's the point.Quote:

That show was fucking amazing even thoug the blastbeats where flying, hehe...so it can be highly musical as well, even with trigging and all that..Quote:

This might out me as the biggest, whitest bogan (redneck for my American friends) ever but I love this track and Lars drumming is insane (from a non drummer).
