OHHH YURRRRRR!!!
this is what the drummer does when the guitarists are tuning
I always thought this was a joke until I actually tried to play in my first band lol
Or while two other band members try to speak.
...come to think of it, this applies to any musician not involved in the conversation. Usually the drummer but not always.
Tupatupatupatupatupa
lmao
And then the rest of the band doesn’t know what is going on. Drummers just want to get going. You string and vocal dummies just slow the process of making great music down. LOL.
Crazy how the drums make those guitar sounds
Science has gone too far! They were too focused on whether they could do it that they didn’t think about whether they should!
fkn funny!!
:v
Soooooo true!!!
LMAO
So anyway I started blasting
Underrated lol
I'm not gonna like because right now this comment is at 666 likes.
... And you ended up with a boring, overly fast song with no musical value...
@@Qwerty-ks8dn I'm guessing you don't like music then.
@@Stickingnote You might have to work on your guessing skills... and yer logic. (And the ears might need a tune-up, try getting rid of the wax.)
i love that hoglan has a beat named after him
Benante should have one too. In SOD he played some of the most memorable blast beats.
Andrew Johnson Dirk Blast Is My Favourite.
* drummer you hate * also has their own blast beat (pussy blast).
It sounds fuckin sick too!
I would have thought the "stop n go" would be called the hoglan blast. He loves doing that all the time and it sounds sick every time.
Oh my fucking god...I forgot to put my hair in a man-bun for the Pussy Blast. DAMMIT!!!
+66Samus Hello samus can you give me all songs name you played? song at 0:52 Slow & Trve
+66Samus DAMNIT YOU'VE FAILED US
+Saudith Mendoza Capitaine The song is called Generic Black Metal Riff n°34 - Generic Black Metal Band
smh... unsubscribe.
+66Samus Great. You had one job. Now forever will that opportunity be lost.
I like the part were he hits the snare
Same.
The red ones are more gooder cause they taste like berries
LazyWorm92 smack
Me 2!
Actually, blast beats are way too overused in metal, and generally a drumming overkill, if anything. When metal turned into a sports competition...
0:07 was the best blast beat I have ever saw
0:28 traditional is my fav, it always gives it's effect even if it does not take alot of efforts compared to the other ones.
thats my fav and slow and true but maybe at a faster tempo
It's everyone's favorite
@@bertberw8653I don't know, stop and go has always been my favorite.
@@blaynegreiner9365same
Why am I watching this? I don't even play the drums, lol.
Why am I watching this? I hate blast beats:/
I highly doubt very many of his 160k subs can even come close to playing these on the drums.
Cause drums are the best thing in this world
I also don't play drums
But I'm writing songs and it's help a lot, if you can put drums to your riffs\m/
@@sebastiant2156 i program my drums using my keyboard and videos like this are very helpful yeah!!! Listen to my "no escape" song. Im very happy how the drums came out 👍 👍
I always wanted to name my band „The Blast Beatles“
Lol
now imagine a cover of any moptop-era Beatles song with everything as precise as it was, guitars, tone, even wardrobe, but the guy who's impersonating Ringo just blastbeats throughout everything
Blastles
There exists a band named that here in Finland. Saw them live actually
@@PravdaFIN Ei vittu finska perkele
I still frequent this video as a guitarist programing drums. Want to make sure my drums are realistic while varied. Thank you so much for this!
that's awesome dude, thank YOU!
Im happy to see this comment because I do the same shit Broman...... If you're going to program kids, Ya better do it right.
1:15 Stop n Go is by far my favorite
Reminded me of meshuggah
Check out ‘I’by Meshuggah, there’s a whole section in the (20 min) song using that technique
I need more songs with Stop n Go. Any recommendations? :)
@@Sheys73 I Won't See You Tonight Part 2 by Avenged Sevenfold - quite a bit slower, but very much the same vibe ua-cam.com/video/XmIF4XW0JaM/v-deo.html
What’s the song? 👀
Awesome video Samus! Very honored to be included. Cheers to you and keep up the badass drumming!
Dirk! Awesome seeing you here! I'm really excited for the stuff that you will bring to Megadeth.
Hi Dirk!
Oh, well I guess your comment answers my question about where that sick as fuck beat came from.
Very neat.
DirkVerbeurenDrummer your blast is probably the best sounding blast
+DirkVerbeurenDrummer, to be fair, your signature blast beat is one of the best for singles.
For someone like me who who doesn't play drums at all but programs them for my band this is EXTREMELY helpful. Thank you for this, can't wait to plug some of these in.
Metalweasel same I'd love to see more videos like this for other beats.
I love that Gene has a blast beat named after him. He's one phenomenal drummer. Used to see him w/Dark Angel and that dude is a machine.
The atomic clock
1:09 me banging at the bathroom door
More like 1:31
@@sebass_9212 yeah ok son
i dont know why this is so funny to me
the Dirk Blast was the coolest part of this video, I want to hear a full version of that
Agreed
Go to Dirk's YT account, he has instructions to do it even
That dirk blast reminds of of nikko bryan of iron maiden drummer. I dunno if he knows anything about dirk blast
@@zealthsphinx1002 Nicko McBrain* and how does that make you think of him? As if Maiden use blast beats :/
SLAYER. 👍😄👍
0:52 every old school black metal song
no shit
Still sounds beautiful
Slayer - Repentless comes to my mind, except Bostaph plays double the amount of hits on the Hihat.
Gorgoroth
GoldSrc Or Source hey release half life 3
1:15 that's my ringtone now :D
Read this as it went over 1:15 and just knew this was the moment you were talking about
I would love to have with the vibrate synced to the bass drum.
What song is that?
But most importantly, did you have a blast?
Ba-Dum-Tssss!
Followed by a blast beat, of course!
@@zeldamage001 more like DADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADA
My head before: "let's see what a blast beat really consists of. Maybe I can do it with only one bass pedal."
*1:57** later*
*googling price of second pedal*
You should be able to do both
You gotta double bass, bro. 😆
I don't know why but my right foot is faster than my hands so I'm able to do it with one pedal
Slow and Trve is my type, definitely
May the Edge be with you, always... Lord.
My favourite is the skank beat
Agreed!
Song name for that one?
That’s a cool one. My heart favors hoglan
Hey, you are missing the Nile blast - the bombblast where you play the right hand on the snare and the left plays 8th notes on the offbeats between the snare hits!
1:15 beyond oblivion - trivium intro
Not the same :)
Posta. Ni lo note
man, your legs are tremolo picking lol
actually dying lmao
tremolo kicking*
Holy shit never thought of it that way.
Slow and Trve is my personal fave here...
Marc Hoyland mine too
Marc Hoyland whats the song?
Hammer and slow and true are my favourites! oh, and also and true would sound nice at mid tempos like 140 to 180 bpm
Yeah technically S&T isn't a blast beat but can be considered the 'half time' of a traditional blast. The other so-called blast beat here that isn't one is the inverse skank
Every rope a noose - the black dahlia murder!
Non-metalheads: *They all sound the same!*
Exactly
but they did, didn't they?
F***ing stupids they are hehe
1:08 Diarrhea Blast.
Not only does it sound the most brutal, it's got by far the best name of 'em all.
first time i heard that one was in pantera's "use my third arm"
Just watching this increased my blood pressure.
Just watching the video I felt my calves starting to cramp
Legit
acgm046 kinda like thinking about a really spicy food! Your mouth burns
Hoglan blast \m/
rockssss
yo. I'm unfamiliar with mean gene's post dark angel output. can you suggest some prime hoglan blast tracks?
What about the Mortician blast beat? When I heard Mortician's albums, I was blown away by how insanely fast the blast beat was. Then I found out it was a drum machine...until I saw a Mortician concert. Holy shit...I was double amazed by the fact they found a drummer that could throw down such crazy blast beats at superhuman speed.
Any example songs by them please?
@@ssaamilslaughterhouse
For years the live drummer was usually Roger Beaujard and Desmond Tolhurst would play guitar. Mortician's the shit!
Mike smith from Suffo can definitely execute those crazy speeds.
Mike Smith is an average drummer at best when it comes to death metal drumming. There are drummers out there that could run circles around him.
I played this in the living room with my grandpa sleeping, he woke up and yelled "TAKE COVVVVVVVER!" and jumped behind the couch.
That's fucked up
@@cedarmock378 I love your comment :'D
lmaooo
Just didn’t happen though, did it?
@@blockg9482 ofc it didn't
LoL Traditional Lazy cracked me up... "why do all the work with one foot when you can just go for a jog?"
Hahaha but sometimes it's hard to control when you shift from using one foot to both your feet. I've tried that before
I’m writing a death metal album, and this video really helped me with drum part ideas!
Where's that album
Aight where is that album
Boi where dat album at
Where it at tho
It's been 3 years where tf is that album
His blasts are so on point it also plays the guitar.
Love a stop n go. Breakdowns over a continuous blast snare get me every time.
The "dirk blast" is just absolutely ridiculous with the hand switching xD
you should watch archspire's drummer videos, he's doing switch blasts at 340 bpm
BeardedDanishViking Check out John Longstreth from ORIGIN, dude’s an animal
Now I can write drums for my shitty riffs on guitar pro! :D
+B2B WEB Jaime Martín it's a bit different in guitar pro
Gabrol haha true dat
I found it a bit tricky at first myself but once you can memorise what number corresponds to what drum hit it's a lot easier.
Nobody
Metal heads with adhd: I MUST DRUM
I must BLAST
I don't think I've been called out like this before lmao
DRVM
me
You strung a couple of these together in Devin Townsend’s “Hear Me” to INCREDIBLE effect. Bravo!
my rough guess for the sequence is Diarrhea into Dirk into Bomb
you know that song is 4 years old and this video is 7 years old
Diahrroea Blast? That's perfect name for a grindcore band XD
I know right! XD
You know it dude!
Well, it is the blast beat that's typically used in grindcore
Goregrind
should be better named "Gutalax blast"
Great job man!
Miguel!!!!!
I just found your channel 2 days ago. Dude, you are one of my all-time faves.
1:00 best!
Definitely my favorite for slower groovy bits in Death Metal, deathcore, and slam :)
@@katyungodly yes)
Dat gravity bomb, tho.
Gravity bombs always give me life.
so it must be done at 666 bpm?
666 bps xD
yes
Sounds real good, but might ruin the heads @ machine speed. 😁
Prophet
Dude this was REALLY helpful! I have no idea playing drums, and needed this in order to program them for a new project I'm involved in, so THANK YOU!
What a nice and perfect performance. Congrats to your technique
The Dirk blast is my favorite :)
Indeed
Can someone send me a song where he uses that blast beat?
I like how one of the things that connects the Dirk blast and the Hoglan blast, is that Gene and Dirk both played for Devin Townsend on some of his heaviest records.
1:25 was like Stevie T doing ClankClankClaLaLaLa...ClankClankClaLaLaLa 😂
Haha YES.
I’m hearing so many of my favourite bands when I listen to these blast beats.
At least one is missing: Mick "The human tornado" Harris blast beat! He has his own unique style too \m/
1:35
The riff just made me think, that the Drik Blast would fit perfectly to the end of Megadeth's "Lying In State".
Very instructive. Thanks. Dirk, Gravity Bomb, Stop and Go, and inverse shank are my favourite
I think i will create some blast battery patterns to work on rythm with my guitar.
The stop and go blasts will always get me
Always loved your videos, this being a personal fave. Your playing is always so clean, and it makes me wonder, are there any videos of you giving lessons or tips on coordination/interdependence? Would love to watch one of my favorite drummers explain how he fucks shit up like this lol
Sick. Stop and Go was especially sick.
Listen to the song "Clockworks" by Meshuggah, if you haven't. Probably the best usage of that style you can ever hear.
That Hoglan Blast is so good sounding
Marvellous I love every little bit thank you for posting.
Those slow and true blasts in black metal 👌 so good
Stop n Go is really good)
Nice video, stay metal
DeathCoreGuitar Sounds like Djent blasting.
Stop and go I think was used in a thy art is murder song. cannot remember which one it is.
Sounds more like District of Misery by Oceano
Max Geffen thought the same
Muse Nw How bout tim yeung
congrats man. That is some serious work to build that power and accuracy.
The traditional always sounds the best to me and has the most groove of all of them imo. Another one would be the Chris Pennie septuplet accented blasts like in the dillinger escape plan song Panasonic youth or any Dillinger song
0:07 lol I always do that and pretend I'm doing blast beats 😂😂😂
thank you! I've never fully knew if it was just faster Backbeat , faster 4otf or even if the kick or the snare was first beat, now i know, it doesn't matter as long as it's "fast af boi"
Love ya bro!! The comedy and talent for the drumming is why I love this channel!! New Sub
0:38 basically everything Behemoth song ever😂
stop n go is also every Fear Factory song
listen to powershifter. Thats litterly a song with the stop and go
@thors blot yow first time i heard that kind of blast
It’s from District of Misery by Oceano
well, Fear Factory played like this (stop n go) yet 15 years before that
Man.. that Dirk Blast.. *shivers*
Listening to revocation and the drummer is so dynamic he’s played like every one of this kinds of blast beats and then some
Traditional has to be my favorite blast beat. Reminds me of Malevolent Creation :)
That Hoglan Blast needs to be a ringtone, so tasty.
Thank you so much!! I’ve just started trying to program drums to match to all of my riffs. The trial and error phase has been fun... but seeing notation and what it sounds like is incredibly helpful!! Thank you!!
*everyone's favorite metal beat*
well, yes, but actually, no - vinnie paul (r.i.p.)
Thank you so much for showing us all those different blast beats. I also have to say that you have gorgeous hair. Yes. I am jealous.
"Stop n go blast" also known as "every fucking djent song blast beat" 😂
Stop n’ Go is probably my favorite
Still, good job. Superb skills
0:28 now that's a nice blast beat I've been wanting to listen too especially with that guitar
The single pedal is my personal favorite. Can’t beat the impressive classic but stop & go and trve are my second favs.
To me it just always sounds better when a drummer just uses a single kick
HOGLAN BLAST YEAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!
Petar Nikolic I like that one to
The Atomic Clock
Hey! I may still be feeling ehaustion from my shifts at work (38hrs - 2days) but you're descriptions are goddamn hilarious😄 thanks ✌
1:36 My God That Technique And Confidence With Your Hands!!! 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
1:08 sounds like Morbid Angel - Pain Divine
Hoglan FTW SYL \m/
holy shit that ending with the social filters around the core grinder... DVD menu for sure
That Stop n Go one is SICK
can't take my eyes off of that 17" CRT hahahah!
you're amazing btw
0:37
I loved this beat
Awesome to see the notations, thank you.
Dude this video helped me immensely! thank you 💚🤘
love the hoglan blast. no doubt made famous by gene hoglan the atomic clock or human drum machine. dethklok- laser cannon deth sentence is a track I only dream of accomplishing on the kit.
Do you listen to Strapping Young Lad? Hoglan is the GOAT
Man that Slow & Trve really gave me the need of listening to some black metal xD
Edgelords, they be a-multiplyin'.
@Cytheiod Bumhurt edgelords, they keep-a-bumhurting. A lot.
@Cytheiod Edgelords, they actually becomin'-a-proud of being edgelord hipsters.
Fascinating.
Kit sounds amazing
There are soo many blasters outhere man o man🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾
ty for that scream at the beginning, my speakers were at max
Not his problem.
0:32 Pete Sandoval
1:00 Alex Lopez
1:32 John Longstreth
1:37 Flo Mounier
Crazy that this was 7 years ago. You were insane even back then. But you've come even further!
I love your channel good work!
Dude...., you f*ing RULE!!!!!
Can you play a whole SUFFOCATION album , without a break??
