Tak da. Det var en fornøjelse. Jeg vil da ikke sige nej til at spiller der igen, men det kommer an på hvilke tilbud der kommer ind :)

With the best audience! 😊

Mange tak! Det var også en fornøjelse at spille for alle jer der dukkede op. Væsentligt flere end vi havde regnet med. Tusind tak for at du deltog! :)

@@arent4771 lever fortsat på dén koncert, tbh. 🖤

@@Firkant2 Jamen det er da rart at høre at vi gjorde så godt et arbejde! :) :)

Thank you very much :)

Thank you for the praise! :) Well, practice makes perfect. In regards to stamina, it is all about conditioning your body. Drums is as much physical training as it is musical technique. You have to spend many boring hours repeating the same exercises over and over, but eventually you will get there.

Thank you!

Tak! Så skal vi nok gøre os umage for at levere en god koncert!

I am sorry, I do not understand that comment :)

Thanks for the high praise! 😊

Well I am glad that you do not hate it then :)

Well there is no big secret to "figure out" :) But there is a lot of muscle training and coordination to learn. Think of it as rewiring your brain. I think it took me about 6-12 months of constant practice with a metronome to learn to even keep a normal slow tempo blast beat tightly. But I do have the advantage of being slightly ambidextrous (not preferring right or left side), with a focus on the left. I cultivated that until both sides of my body were almost equal in coordination and ergonomics, also allowing me to switch which arm or leg does what without missing the beat (I can also play drums right handed, which is the normal way, but I just prefer to keep it as I started out as that is most comfortable. I often have my drums set up with mostly the same stuff on each side so I can switch which arm does what if I need to). But getting there took years of training and a lot of discipline, so do not give up! We all started out at level 0 at some point, and I will personally not stop practicing until I never have to say "I cannot play that" ever again! And I definitely also have things that I struggle with learning on the drums :)

Yes it is indeed harder to play slow tightly. But reaching high speeds should not be measured by what you can reach and hold for one second, but rather what you can keep stably, so I would say it is easier to be tight when playing a simple rhythm fast, but it also takes a lot of practice to reach those speeds in the first place and keep them under control! And also, if you have control when you are very fast, you usually also struggle less with the slower stuff. But I will agree that when it comes to blast beats, I also have a much easier time being tight when I play fast. (Nota Bene: I hope you understand this :) I ran your comment through a translator and I fear you wrote in Russian because you do not speak English)

Kalasnikov is very slow for him! xD, even Thompson is slow! maybe Gatalin Minigun can be compared with him hehee :D.

@@arent4771 You using triggers? and if yes, on which components? Thx.

@@crnigruja2220 I do not use triggers live, because I do not want to risk hitting inconsistently on gear I am not familiar with. In the rehearsal room I sometimes use triggers on the bass drums, depending on what I have to play. If I have to play really fast, I prefer bass drum triggers. Otherwise it does not really matter to me.

Thank you!

Indeed it was. It was a true pleasure to play that concert!

Thanks! I have not heard confirmation of any Spain shows. I have never played in Spain, and actually never been there, so it would be great to get the opportunity!

Thank you!

What do you mean? Are you asking about proper control of the beat? If so, obviously the easiest is to blast with your lead foot only, because that gives better control and it also (if you have the muscles for it) makes it easier to hit with consistent strength, as especially dual pedals (1 bass drum, 2 pedals) makes it a bit more difficult to hit consistently due to weight of drive shaft, varied strength and control in legs and so forth. I use both legs / feet because I like to conserve my energy as much as possible, as concerts should be fun and not a massive Olympic feat of strength and stamina, leaving you completely drained afterwards, although that is not always possible for a drummer ;) Now, as to your question, if I interpret it correctly, the only real answer I can give is many many many hours of practice. I actually never had a problem with using both legs for slow blasts, but if control is an issue, I can recommend your friend to practice all the standard hand exercises with the feet as well in order to not have a lead leg / foot anymore. You should have the same control and strength with both legs and feet (and you should have the same control with your feet as with your hands). I also recommend practicing blast beats and other exercises with a metronome and either go right ahead with using both feet, or switching control foot every eight bars or so. Start with a speed you can control, and when it feels comfortable, increase speed by 10 bpm. Do that one hour every day for three months and you will see very good results (but it is boring as hell, so it requires discipline. I used to read a lot of books in front of the drums while firing away with my legs only). But for starters, just try to switch which foot you lead with, and practice fill patterns with the feet. Eventually you do not have a preferred lead foot anymore, and all speeds and beats are comfortable. Also a side note: speed is a side product of control and technique, never where you should start or focus, so if you cannot play a beat well slowly, you very likely cannot play it very well fast. So if you struggle with a blast technique in a slow speed, I think you should start there and move forward instead of potentially injuring yourself. I hope that is a good enough answer, otherwise I will be happy to elaborate further :)

@@arent4771 Extremely helpful explanation... Thank you

@@MGBlast666 You're welcome :)

Hahaha :) Not the first time I hear that one. It is an old Norse name, but yeah it does not work in English. Thanks for the praise!

Hail

Thanks. Although I mess up a little bit. This was actually my very first time performing this track live, but I always wanted to play it live, so I really wanted to capture it on video. I have better recordings now, which I may upload in the future.

Thanks a lot for the praise! We have our own producer, Skygt, and he is the one who records, mixes and masters everything.

Mange tak!

I play left handed. Right handed is the standard 🙂
