TBDM - Nocturnal is one of the most highly creative drum spectacles to this day in melodic death metal. Not over-played, not excessive for each track, literally as close to perfection as you can get. I have spent hours upon hours drumming along to that album.
@@Witness089 Yeah, Deflorate was more "oddball" especially his footwork, but Nocturnal in the classic sense was just pure relentless and great writing. You can actually hear on the album that drums were still "human" and not programmed in any sense too, listen to the chorus in Deathmask Divine again. He really has to power through those fast runs and you can hear the struggle. It's a shame today how many bands just use Superior Drummer 3.
66samus kicks ass!! I love that guy fucking amazing drummer and really funny guy!! Youre the one who made me decide to start learning drums at 51. Been a Metalhead for 40yrs, now that i have more time on my hand ,its fun learning and watching your vids is always a blast 🤘🤘🥁
that involuntary doppelganger drum line reminds me of marching beat snare work in the military. i actually prefer this double snare technique to the single roll blast beats, more intense and harder to pull off those perfect subdivisions between bounces. very easy to make double handed snare sound off
I kinda thought that drummer may have had some marching band experience going by the sticking patterns and the precision, looks like a challenge! Spun me out to see that.
I'm sure the media is not controlled in anyways by people who look like him constantly forcing you to watch an vote for an litterally worship people who look like theriselves.
As soon as I saw The Violation by Fleshgod Apocalypse being first, I knew the video would be good. Edit: AND Black Dahlia?! Sheeet AND ARCHAPIRE?! And... you just knew the gravity blast from Cu*t Crusher would be on here. 10/10 Would rewatch for the 16th time.
@@jlo7770it‘s funny that you say this under a video that also features Infant Annihilator, which have no real drums whatsoever and could be called „miming“ in every right. Shows how little of a clue you have
I really like a blastbeat from At the Gates of Understanding by Azarath, appearing first around 16th second of the song. It sounds incredible. Inferno is a beast behind the kit.
It’s crazy how easy people forget Alexgrind from despised icon. He can outplay all these bands and he paved the way for this music in the mainstream deathcore. Don’t forget the legend.
You're crazy if you think he can outplay Aaron from Infant Annihilator. Kid's easily one of the fastest and best in the world. Also, he paved the way for nothing, extreme metal drumming as a whole was pioneered by the thrash guys of the 80's, and refined by Gene Hoglan more than anyone. It's okay to have favorites but don't make baseless claims, almost all of these drummers are on an insane genius level. Even bro from Archspire with the lolRemo heads.
Look Up Marco Pitruzzella. That's My Mentor. Be Extremely Careful And Safe Out There !! May You, Your Familia, Friends Have An Amazing Positively Safe Blessed Day/ Night Today.
Tbh, a lot of sampling and triggers make it seem like we’re hitting the drums with mjölnir, the first albums of Suffocation and Origin are more realistic, but there are also drummers like Eloy Casagrande from Sepultura who hit like a train but still manage to hit 220 bpm fairly easy
question: who can play this kind of music can easily play prog metal such as dream theater songs? or one thing is very different from the other to be learning?
The Skin Thief by Necrogoblikon has some fantastic blast beats too. Silent Life by Rivers of Nihil And deadass. If you love the drums from Fleshgod, try the Japanese band Imperial Circus Dead Decadence. Shinbatsu goes nutty with the blasts, their song 'gekiai no yobigoe ga dekiai no kyougoe wo' has a blast beat section about 4 mins in, it's absolutely Heavenly
The Japanese band's drummer is okay, but something about the skank pattern sounds offensively off to me. I'd put Asterism's drummer against them any day, JS. Nekrogoblikon and Rivers of Nihil are 10/10 on any drummer or metalhead list.
@@Stuugie. Hadn't heard 1914 before... they're pretty good blackened death. Track sounds kind of remind me of Miasma by BDM, or Into the Ashes by Abigail Williams.
The sickest blast beats to me are not as hard hitting, they're just bombastic and huge. These in the video are technical as shit and incredibly good, but a few good examples of what I love when it comes to blast beats are: 1. "1914 - FN .380 ACP#19074" 2. "Brymir - To All Those That Died" 3. "Heretoir - The Circle (Omega)" From 02:50 to 03:50
Another one of these dudes... let me guess, you think Aaron programmed it? Here's him killing it on a 5 piece kit with 2 cymbals and a hi-hat, and you didn't even need to leave YT to find it: ua-cam.com/video/_YUKEowJV4M/v-deo.html
@@x8jason8x you think that trash is the same as the record? Lol I watched that video and no way what they cracked to 10 through the pa was not for note what he was playing. You blind af dude
Bro, Archspire and Fleshgod Apocalypse drum parts are made, for masochists, by masochists! 🤣
Check Benighted and Aborted. There are a few bands out there that are pure nihilism
Brutal not for weaks😅😅😅
Eugene in FA is a dream come true
As a drummer, I respect the hell out of this stuff. It's like a hybrid of music and martial arts.
TBDM - Nocturnal is one of the most highly creative drum spectacles to this day in melodic death metal. Not over-played, not excessive for each track, literally as close to perfection as you can get. I have spent hours upon hours drumming along to that album.
I think deflorate was better creativity wise but I’m also a Shannon Lucas fanboy considering he’s the reason I got into melodic death metal drumming
@@Witness089 Yeah, Deflorate was more "oddball" especially his footwork, but Nocturnal in the classic sense was just pure relentless and great writing.

Blastbeats should be introduced at the next Olympic Games
Alan Cassidy is an incredible drummer, but the Shannon era TBDM will always be my fave.
Most definitely. Shannon is a beast
Yeah buddy!
Agree, the older BDM just hits different.
I love that he wore driftcats. Best drumming shoes I’ve ever tried!
Serious physical and artistic talent on display. These mad lads are sick in the best way possible!
Come on anything by lord Marco should be on this list easily
Brain drill especially
I miss Shannon Lucas. He was fucking awesome in TBDM.
66samus kicks ass!! I love that guy fucking amazing drummer and really funny guy!! Youre the one who made me decide to start learning drums at 51. Been a Metalhead for 40yrs, now that i have more time on my hand ,its fun learning and watching your vids is always a blast 🤘🤘🥁
Samus was once in abigail williams!
Don’t forget that he was also in Decrepit Birth!
@@YANAPA damn I didn't know that
Ohh yur
It's never to late to learn an instrument! All the best for your efforts!
"Winds of Horus" by Nile has one of the most underrated blasts in metal, the blasts with cymbal chokes are insane
Thats right!

Called gravity blast bounce off rim hard to do correctly
@@deathmetaldave I've got mine up to about 260-280... after only a decade or so of practice. 😅
I love all the drummer on this list, but 66samus holds a special place in my heart
I'm sure the media is not controlled in anyways by people who look like him constantly forcing you to watch an vote for an litterally worship people who look like theriselves.
Best UA-cam disclaimer ever. 😂
Nicholas barker?
I miss seeing Shannon lucas play in wicked death metal. Such a rad drummer!
He was everyone's favorite drummer around 2009-2011. Such an influential and powerful drummer
Where's Mike Smith from Suffocation?
Another fleshgod song thats slap is fury
Drums are killer AF
god i just can never get enough of blasts with dotted crashes... rips so hard
Wicked talent from these dudes. Whole video slaps!
I loved the Superior Drums video there with the kid in the beanie.
Infant Annihilator ~ Cuntcrusher
Band - Track
Nile?
Breaking news: Gatekeepers unable to identify gates at a cemetery.
If you like pure blast beats brodequin and last days of humanity are some of the pure blast till the end
The drumparts in TBDM are insane!
Samus's classic blastbeat is by far the best.
And those were his 'young' days......he's just as brutal today \m/
His stick height is insane.
Trash
Thanks for the video.
As soon as I saw The Violation by Fleshgod Apocalypse being first, I knew the video would be good.
Edit: AND Black Dahlia?! Sheeet
AND ARCHAPIRE?!
And... you just knew the gravity blast from Cu*t Crusher would be on here.
10/10
Would rewatch for the 16th time.
Cattle Decaps drummer should've of been on this,lol
66samus's drums sounds unholy! Absolute kickass
Yeah pretty easy when you rip the drum track off the album and have a little bit of skill to mime the playing

AMAZING MIRACLE
Sweet. Missing from list: Cryptopsy - Defenestration
missing 411
Hate Eternal - Victorious Reign (halftiming the blast with second snare part)
these mofos are on a different universe.
Sick what these guys are capable of.
Didn't have my fav but still an awesome vid! So many amazing drummers on this planet!
What was your favorite video?
yeah man ty for put in TBDM!! best band ever! i miss so much their singer...
Emperor - Ye Entrancemperium
I really like a blastbeat from At the Gates of Understanding by Azarath, appearing first around 16th second of the song. It sounds incredible. Inferno is a beast behind the kit.
"In Extremis" is my favorite album from Azarath, many great blastedbeats and drumming in general. The album even starts with a badass blastmeat

@@x8jason8xdon’t be a moron. Infant Annihilator drums are 100% programmed. He isn’t playing anything
@@x8jason8xMVP came out in 2009, he was writing better drum parts than IA years ago
@@zerofender No, but it's respect where it's due regardless. All of this is subjective except speed which can be quantified.
@@x8jason8x of course alex cant outperform ezdrummer just like usain bolt cant outrun a car
Belphegor-Gasmask Terror is my favorite blast beat, dropping you right in at crazy speed
So we just gunna pretend like Lord Marco doesn't exist?🤨
Check Part 2 on our channel 😎
Samus blasts are super clean
I must love blast beats because these are some of my favorite songs lol
Look Up Marco Pitruzzella. That's My Mentor. Be Extremely Careful And Safe Out There !! May You, Your Familia, Friends Have An Amazing Positively Safe Blessed Day/ Night Today.
🔥🔥🔥
Ters from my eyes !!!! Wowwww
Two words ...... John, [second word] Longstreth. Argument; complete.
Magnifico.💰💰💰💰💰💰
sick
Infant pure triggered
66Triggermus
One song that definitely should be on this list is Belphegor's "Totentanz - Dance Macabre". David Diepold plays it like a god!
WTF, that bonus!!!
Very glad to see Sons of Northern darkness here
YES MORE UNNEEDED INFORMATION ON SCREEN I LOVE IT
Archspire literally looks like a fancy Para-diddle exercise 😂
This video has hard-core 2009 vibes
It’s weird to see samus with no beard
Can't even see the stick when Involuntary Doppelganger drummer play that f'ing sh**
Feels good doesn’t IT!!!!!
I will NEVER understand how these drummers are able to play such insane parts consistently like that.
work, dedication, and more work

@@bankal1442 and talent
Came to see Kollias, left unhappy but learned some other beasts 🙂
Be good to include Mr Blastbeat himself- Mick Harris
Nothing from inferno of behemoth?
Slaughter to prevail the best!
question: who can play this kind of music can easily play prog metal such as dream theater songs? or one thing is very different from the other to be learning?
Different styles that intersect pretty commonly nowadays. Look at Blake Richardson from BTBAM.
Gravity blasts! RIP ALL SHALL PERISH
Dominator from Dark Funeral could be here
Hail Murder!!!!
I was literally Listening to Fleshgod apocalypse when this video was recommended

One by one indeed does slap hård.
For the sake of blasting check out Kai Hahto when he played for Rotten Sound
Or Wintersun :) \m/
Evgenie Novikov from Slaughter to Prevail ❤
wild samus has been spotted
the secret is put the video on 1.75x
ok list but no decapitated, nile, belphegor, tteotd, despised icon so many others that would have made a better list
Absolutely impressive. I'm a guitar player but i love watching this. Are those gravity blasts what the guy from Fleshgod is playing?
The first half of the clip isn’t but the second half is
Archspire's drumming is the most interesting one i have ever seen
Austin archey?
Shannon lucas is badass!
Marduk is not included??
Chason West from Brand of Sacrifice or David McGraw from Cattle Decapitation would be dope 🙏👌
Great shout! 🤘
You need to include Jasad - Siliwangi .
Nils Dominator\m/
Yurr
Marduk panzer division
So glad to see 66Samus gettin some love!!🤘🤘
Fleshgods drummer doesnt joke around
Nile,origin,vital remains,nickolas barker and hellhammer....and others
Anybody a fan of Afrika by Marduk?
Idk how you’re going to do a video about blast beats and not include John Longstreth from Origin! Dudes a fuckin machine on the drums.
John longstreth ( origin / angelcorpse )
Bonus Blasphemy stole the show, absolutely 😂
After immortal it went downhill and we all know why.
Also, no Decapitated? Dirk Verbeuren/Scarve? Aborted? Dark Funeral? Strapping Young Lad?

What about Conquer of distopia -tethis? Sorry for english, I'm russian ^_^
Oky Fadlan From Indonesia bro??.
Drummer from Jasad Band
Maybe not most brutal, but Martin Axenrot's blastbeats are really fucking tasty on the Bloodbath records!
Shit wdym? Axe's work in Bloodbath is sick AF... I don't hate his work in Opeth either.
@@x8jason8x Tasty = Good. At no point did I say otherwise. Of course his drumming is great, but I do think the Archspire drummer is more brutal.
@@filipdzero8739 I dunno man... I'm just saying I'd be hard pressed to call Archspire more brutal than Bloodbath is all.
It's trash
None from Pete Sandoval? There sure must be one😁
I remember back when Death and Morbid Angel were the most brutal bands ever. Not so much these days, but you gotta respect the originals.
