Sometimes I'm listening to the riff, and suddenly I think the riff is being played faster somehow, but no, it's just the drums going double time. Song is the same tempo.
I always argued with a friend, he said that drums are the main thing in metal, and I say that guitars are the main thing. Looks like my friend the old metalhead is right
Blues and jazz (pop, rap, classic - you name it) folks can actually say the same about the rhythm section in their favorite genres.. Then somebody may say to them something like "Bro, it's not changing so much, it's still more-or-less the same thing, just with different drum patterns".. And then, they will answer you they think the same of the example in this video with metal🤣 So, long story short, it's definitely not only about any given genre, including metal😅
@@BrushlessCake yeah, not to mention the fact, that more hardcore oriented genres (like mathcore, metalcore, sludge, noise rock) can offer more intensity, complexity and rawness with more out of the box approach. Dillinger Escape Plan has maddening stuff.

One minute into the video and I had to stop and comment: Samus' guitar playing is absolutely insane! Perfectly hard picking, great timing, zero string and fret noises! Just a great performance! This would fit so well in a mix! Super impressed!
Yea man, it's because any particular drum hit landing on any particular note will accent it, with the percussive value of the drum (snare, kick etc) so depending on how the drum pattern is laid out, we'll have different notes in the riff being accented and brought to focus more. Kind of like if you were reading a poem where a second person would occasionally shout one of the words in accompaniment as you spoke it. Depending on which words were chosen to be shouted it would have an entirely different meaning and feel.
You learn 2 important things in this video. 1. Samus plays guitar, and is better than most other channels too. 2. Just how much a different drum beat can change the entire feel of just one riff.
One of my favorite examples of #2 is "On Your Time" by Dark Tranquility at around the 4:26 mark. I always liked how the riff stays mainly the same, but the drums get more and more complex, completely changing the feel of the riff by the end.
Hell yeah. I also learned that drag and drop guitar riff into EZBass to make bass tracks. I've been doing the bass midi manually like a complete bahee!
Bro 11 was amazing, when I first heard your riff I immediately heard potential for an amazing build-up to something incredibly majestic and you delivered my good man.
Honestly that tribal tom beat/rhythm always, ALWAYS fills me with excitement, anticipation and (in a good sense) tension. Especially over any kind of faster metal guitar riff. Never disappoints.
This guy keeps his power in his hair and it's making me nervous thinking about how someone could just sneak up behind him so suspiciously and help themselves. omg please keep it safe.
Agreed, but I also felt the tom thing fit it much better than I thought it would. It would make sense to play the tom beat first and then go into the trad blast IMO.
This video really shows how besides the actual skills of a drummer, what really makes the song a great song! The choices every drummer makes, based in their taste and talent, are what actually can make the real difference between a good and a great drum part adding value to the song! 🤘🤘🤘🤘
Dude, I've never seen you before, but this is freaking fantastic! Love the breaks from the video for silly moments, they fit and make sense and are funny!! Great talent all around!
I'd love to hear a full version of this song someday, it already has potential to be a sick melodeath song based on that riff alone. Very Soilwork-like
Also reminded me a lot of Dethklok, especially Andromeda and the melodic bridge of Hatredcopter. Love the Hero Forge profile mini too, btw, I always spot a fellow forger :)
Sick AF. It would be cool to see all of the beats at once, like one after another, while the riff continuously plays. Like how a song can change up it's drum and rhythm to give a different feel.
I don't think I've ever been more inspired to get back behind my kit. I've been taking a break from it and this video has reminded me why I started playing. You ROCK Samus!!!!
Ok dude, this is the second one of your videos I've watched and I'm gonna have to sub. Not only is there kick ass musical wonderment but I also laughed my ass off! Excellently done.
The fact that so many different beats sound good with the same riff is an illustration of how difficult it can be to write original material. Can only choose 1 for each part of the song!
Trying iterations in composition sucks hard, but it's necessary, unless you plan to sit down and pump out a perfect track first time, every time, for the rest of your life lol
I really appreciate this video, as guitar player sometimes I have trouble figuring out what kind of riff will sound good over what beat and hearing the same riff over multiple beats really helped me understand. I'm trying to program my own beats for my music and eventually I want to learn real drums so I can actually play them.
This could definitely be made into a series and/or collaboration videos in the future. Get a riff created by another creator, and then you come up with some drum beats for them. Could even then get the guitarists opinion about which one they like the most, or something similar. Loved the video!
You are like metal Weird Al. I am stoked to discover your channel! We fuckin' love you, dude. I'm going to have to go with number 6 onward. All those have me even more excited to get my family our first kit.
Been playing drums for 40 plus years until i had a stroke in 2017 this video has actually made me want to go and have a go at playing again, as my memory was affected, i needed a push!, will have a go at the weekend, with me luck guys and girls!
1, 2, 5, 8, and 10 fit this particular riff the best imo. It really depends on the context of the song though and where it would actually hit. Drums are so important to the vibe of the song and this is a great example of that. Great playing as usual and your guitar tone is sick
Awesome video. I keep trying to explain to my drummer that you can't just randomly do whatever beat on a riff. It completely changes the vibe. Choosing the right drum beat is so important when writing a song and defining the vibe you want.
Number 5 was so NOICE it made me pull a muscle in my face. This is a brilliant demonstration of how important drums are in a song! As others have commented, the drums can completely change our perception of the song, even if every other instrument is unchanged. For a long time, my favorite "song" was a demo MP3 by some drum program label. It was a basic distorted guitar riff, and several different beats played over it. It literally makes an entire song with one riff on loop, and the drums deciding the dynamic and structure of the song.
@@wamporeycidulgb I can distinguish between them. Let me rephrase. For every three only one stands out. You do know that playing a melody is like playing a drum beat right? What an experienced musician would do is play all those variations on guitar in a song or piece of music. You want my advice? Stop thinking exclusively in terms of mainstream music. This UA-camr does, judging by this video anyways. Instead of thinking I might be a troll instead consider that I'm right because I am. I play an instrument. The rhythms he played would all be used just not on the drums, through the melody. On a side note, I picked my name for a reason. It can be read multiple ways.
@@happypuppy-i4k I think, in music, what stands out and what doesn't, is largely dependent on individual music preference. A song / piece of music can (and should, in my opinion) be varied by changing what is performed on ALL instruments, not just the drums, but this youtuber's intention with this video was to show how JUST changing the drums can change our perception of the music, and I think that came across very clearly. I don't even know what mainstream music is, but I'm sure hardcore jazzheads and metalheads might call my music preference mainstream, and I don't care. I'm skeptical of calling anything with blastbeats 'mainstream', though. I get that you think you are right, and referring to music preference being different for everyone, I can't say you're wrong from YOUR point of view. I disagree with your assessment, and it's always going to be that way. We experience music differently, and we have different opinions about it.
Thia is just amazing! Samus is the only person who has inspired me to play drums, while also bringing me to the realization that I will never be this good!!
2 and 6 are basically my go-to beats. I’m not a metal drummer and my left foot is errrmm “special” but considering how good they sounded here I don’t feel like I’m missing out much
This is one of my favorite concepts. I really liked how 5, 7, and 9 worked. I could see them being used in a song together with 5 for the verse,9 for the chorus, and 7 for the bridge.
Amazing!! I’m getting my son a electric drum kit for Christmas this year….. definitely having him watch your videos…. Im a guitarist and bought him a guitar years ago that he didn’t touch let’s hope this tracks better lol
It'd be cool to hear these kinda metal riffs over non traditional stuff like reggae / surf beats. Also my whole discord says we look alike haha. Keep up the sick vids man! (Nice guitar playing also)
That's such a cool concept. I'm not a drummer or anything, but I feel like this would be a great a idea for a contest or something like this! Like, we, guitarists, have so many contests going on where we need to write a riff or a solo over a drumbeat, so seeing this idea being inverted in this video was REALLY cool! My favorite was 7, you can't go wrong with the "Slayer beat" lol. It reminded me of something from Killswitch Engage or As I Lay Dying!
You play amazingly and that was a lot instructive to me ! I love variety and combinations of progressive to full blast with deep heavy break downs. That's why I loved em all. Thanks a lot 😃❤
I love how you recorded this on an April Lavigne guitar and my brain was "How is this going to be heavy?". Well skaterboy, see you later boy, because this was awesome. I never realized that drums had this much power over determining how a riff sounds. Thanks for making this.
Man, that was a good riff. I would've imagine it having a harmony included with that to make it sound Melodeath-esque.🤘 The Punk/Thrash beat sounded a lot better.
as someone who has only been playing the drums for roughly a year and four months, your speed and precision is absolutely incredible!!! i aspire to be as good as you one day 🤘
I can’t even begin to convey how satisfying this was to watch. You also seem like a super chill guy. If you haven’t, I’d love to see you cover either Embrace the World, Global Warming, or Mouth of Kala by Gojira. Those all go hard af and your kit sounds perfect for those.
Nice to see Samus using no's 5 and 6 to the combination beat in the end, since those two were my absolute favorites and indeed complimented the riff best of all.
It hurts to see a drummer pick a guitar and lay a killing riff better than everything I can produce after my 20 years of guitar 🙈🙈🙈 And by the way number 5 is my favorite because I just had to headbang on this one 😄 🤘🏻
Great video. Love seeing how each style colors the riff. Combination was my fave because it seemed to follow and support the riff the best while maintaining its own character.
I did a video like this a few years ago. Great topic. Many people don’t realize how different the same riff can sound with a change of drums under it. Drummers have loads more influence on a band’s sound than just whether it’s in time or not.
Traditional Blast definitely worked the best here for me with Hammer Blast coming in second and Thrash Beat coming in 3rd. It's so sick to see how different the riff feels with different drum beats.
The super-fast double-kick and snare combine to sound like a horde of bloodthirsty typewriters, fresh out of the factory and looking to tear you limb from limb.
As a guitarist it's easy to overlook how much the drums actually change the perception of a riff. Great video.
Sometimes I'm listening to the riff, and suddenly I think the riff is being played faster somehow, but no, it's just the drums going double time. Song is the same tempo.
It really does. The drummer is what makes a riff interesting.
I always argued with a friend, he said that drums are the main thing in metal, and I say that guitars are the main thing. Looks like my friend the old metalhead is right
Pantera were masters of that
Samus out here shredding riffs better than some guitar demo channels!
👍👍👍🤘🤘🤘
Definitely
yea and I bet he didn’t use simply guitar either 😂
Most of us know he rips at guitar. This isn't new.
HELL YA DUDE!! I agree 100%
This is why i love metal so much. A little change can create such a completely different feel to any riff and allows for so many variations.
Blues and jazz (pop, rap, classic - you name it) folks can actually say the same about the rhythm section in their favorite genres.. Then somebody may say to them something like "Bro, it's not changing so much, it's still more-or-less the same thing, just with different drum patterns"..

#1 kills me when he says "I never play guitar anymore" and then shreds a perfectly played, complicated guitar part
#2 that's the sauce my man!

You playing guitar is awesome and #11 is the greatest.
This is easily my favorite video you have made yet. Awesome
thank you!!
You should definitely make a series out of this
One thing I keep seeing on every video is that Samus takes time to respond to his viewers. Class act and a killer musician.
and I will take the time to do it again! haha
thank you so much dude

Watch out for that woman who likes tying men to kitchen chairs……! 😂
I loved the 6. That sounded really awesome
I thought 6 was awesome as well!
The combination beat was honestly the best. Love your videos and your personality so much!
For this riff, I personally felt the punk beat and traditional blast worked the best. They captured the energy of that riff so well.
lol
Dude same, it’s 1-7-10 for me. Like you said 7 wins overall.
Same Here 👌
Very 2006 in flames vibes with that one
Agreed, but I also felt the tom thing fit it much better than I thought it would. It would make sense to play the tom beat first and then go into the trad blast IMO.
Number 5 immediately came to mind when you first played the riff and I liked it best.

Honestly, the regular rock, rock double time, rock double bass and the tom ones fit the riff the best in my opinion
Dude, I've never seen you before, but this is freaking fantastic! Love the breaks from the video for silly moments, they fit and make sense and are funny!! Great talent all around!
thank you so much!!!
7 is the beat for this riff and the blast as well. Perfect for a sick melodeath jam
I'd love to hear a full version of this song someday, it already has potential to be a sick melodeath song based on that riff alone. Very Soilwork-like
Also reminded me a lot of Dethklok, especially Andromeda and the melodic bridge of Hatredcopter. Love the Hero Forge profile mini too, btw, I always spot a fellow forger :)
Actually this is a pretty nice practice to try out for a band to find interesting arrangements
The combo beat at the end was tight!! There are so many options to choose from, but the 11 you picked were def great ones!
Reminded me of the newer Disturbed songs a lot. I like that one and the 16th double best.
Sick AF. It would be cool to see all of the beats at once, like one after another, while the riff continuously plays. Like how a song can change up it's drum and rhythm to give a different feel.
I would kill to hear this as a complete song, the riff is just perfect
I don't think I've ever been more inspired to get back behind my kit. I've been taking a break from it and this video has reminded me why I started playing. You ROCK Samus!!!!
YOU rock Drum Daddy!!! thanks man

It is insane how great you are at both the drums and guitar. My mind is blown.
Amazing how the drums can change the vibe and overall awesomeness of a song
Number 7 was spot on with the riff!! 🔥
Agree 100%, 7-1-2 is the top three for me, or rather the only three beats that match the riff
I’m in total awe. How incredibly talented!

I can’t even begin to convey how satisfying this was to watch. You also seem like a super chill guy. If you haven’t, I’d love to see you cover either Embrace the World, Global Warming, or Mouth of Kala by Gojira. Those all go hard af and your kit sounds perfect for those.
*#9 blows my mind. Oh wait, so does #10.*
New subscriber here. Finally, a worthy channel UA-cam recommended to me!
thank you so much Andy!! welcome my dude
Nice to see Samus using no's 5 and 6 to the combination beat in the end, since those two were my absolute favorites and indeed complimented the riff best of all.
This video makes me want to be in a band again, twice as bad as I already want to. It's just hard to find quality artists that are like minded.
It hurts to see a drummer pick a guitar and lay a killing riff better than everything I can produce after my 20 years of guitar 🙈🙈🙈
And by the way number 5 is my favorite because I just had to headbang on this one 😄 🤘🏻
Great video. Love seeing how each style colors the riff.
Combination was my fave because it seemed to follow and support the riff the best while maintaining its own character.
Man. I love you. You make me laugh. Few and far between these days. Oh yeah, you're an awesome drummer.
🙏🙏🙏
At 6:18 when you said 'combinations', you exactly sounded like the 'emotional damage' guy 😂
And #8 was my favoirite 💛
I did a video like this a few years ago. Great topic. Many people don’t realize how different the same riff can sound with a change of drums under it. Drummers have loads more influence on a band’s sound than just whether it’s in time or not.
7, 10 and 11 are awesome. They fit perfectly.👌
The slayer beat sounded the best imo.
That combination was so sick man! I loved IT 🔥
Traditional Blast definitely worked the best here for me with Hammer Blast coming in second and Thrash Beat coming in 3rd. It's so sick to see how different the riff feels with different drum beats.
The rock double time sounded like 5 flavored fruit punch 👊
The super-fast double-kick and snare combine to sound like a horde of bloodthirsty typewriters, fresh out of the factory and looking to tear you limb from limb.
your personality is soooo refreshing
