Talented young kid. He's 18 year old.
This is not his drumming style, he is just covering a song to prove its humanely possible because this song was made for a drum machine.

He also listens to hip-hop hahah.
What do you guys think?

i think its really boring =]

Kid's got good timing. The drum line might seem more interesting if we actually heard the music that went with it.

Stupid, unmusical, and in the wrong forum.

Moved to recordings.

Yup, my thoughts exactly, impressive yes, but completely devoid of emotion.

If it were the black page you guys would have ate it up.

You're completely ignoring his talent and skill because he doesn't have something you guys call emotion and passion.

Does this robot show emotion and passion?
Seems like it, but we know it doesn't.

I don't know how much emotion you expect him to feel when:

1. The drums were not written by a drummer.
2. The drums were not meant to be played by a drummer.
3. He is not playing it because he likes the song, he's playing it to show that it can be played by a human.

Black page??? Dude, stop digging for controversy.
This forum is called "talkBASS" not "talkwhogivesacrapaboutsomekidthatplaysfastdru ms"

Can we close this thread now?

Really man, you shouldn't get mad when you ASK for peoples OPINIONS and then you don't like what you hear.

I was trying to be diplomatic with my first post, but the drumming's really not [b]that[b] impressive. If that's the best you think anyone is humanly capable of, I suggest you listen to more drummers.

I don't fault him for playing it. If you want to get mad at anyone, be mad at yourself for thinking it was interesting enough to post.

Other than that...Merry Christmas.

No crap it's humanly possible. (PS - it's blaspheme...without the "T"). Bands choose drum machines not b/c you can't possibly find someone to play that fast, but because it's just a lot easier to program a machine - not to mention one less person asking for money.

And besides, I'll take Buddy Rich any day! Speed, precision, emotion, and style!

EDIT: ohhhhh...it's AlphaMale. Yay, another senseless post. Sorry I contributed to it.

I'm not mad at all. I just don't think it was fair.

I never implied that was the best drumming humanely capable, at all. And I figured since a lot of people I know think that the ability to do 3 minutes of blast beats at 245 beats per minute at the age of 18 is pretty impressive.

No sir, it's blastphemer. It's a Portmanteau of Blasphemer and Blast, check the name. And I never implied that I thought it was impossible.

Sure sounded like you were saying its the best a human can achieve.

No it sounds like I was saying he wanted to prove a person can play it. I posted this for DM and BM fans. Hopefully if they see it they'll appreciate it.

Metal Mitch · #14 12-25-2007, 05:22 PM

Good drummer. I'd play with him.

Notes:

1) He's not playing a proper blast. He's using both feet ("newschool") and playing the snare in sync with the kick. A proper blast is with one foot and alternates the snare with the kick.

2) Seamless changeups to the 6/8 time signature and back to the 4/4 blast. Very nice footwork.

3) Stupid? Unmusical? Lacking emotion? He's playing a song as written, and not overplaying.

This is a textbook example of "newschool" blackmetal drumming. He has excellent clock, maintaining the constant snare with the left hand while the right hand floats to play the accents. Watch videos of Hellhammer (Mayhem) to see the originator of the technique.

That's the problem with this thread. You won't find many here. But you will find a bunch of people that feel it necessary to post about something they know nothing about.

Darkstrike · #15 12-25-2007, 05:26 PM

Its cool, I'd still prefer to hear Frost's beats.

AlphaMale · #16 12-25-2007, 05:30 PM

Hellhammer is such an amazing drummer. That whole Snare-accent rocks because he indirectly influenced hundreds of drummers to play that way.
Haha yeah Satyricon is a really good band too, they changed they're style a lot though, but still good.

I'm glad two extreme metal fans posted on this especially one after another.

73jbass · #17 12-25-2007, 05:44 PM

Sounds like a 63 Chevy without a muffler.

Ha Ha Ha! I think there is one more register'd here!

Yep, you only have to punch in the instructions once on a drum machine.

purduebass · #20 12-25-2007, 08:43 PM

Nice blasts, but it's not something out of the realm of Hellhammer or Inferno. My main complaint is that his tone is so crappy. If you want really good DM drumming look up the studio video for the new Behemoth album and watch the drum recording....amazing stuff, mainly because Inferno manages to work fills that aren't your standard roll across the toms fills in between blast beats to keep it interesting.
