@This is Kevin the pellet size. On a more serious note, normal gravity blast has 16th notes on snare and 8th notes on kick, gravity bomb blast has 16th notes on both snare and kick.
9:00 I've tried practicing for YEARS to be able to do the whole "two rhythms/time signatures simultaneously" thing, whether something like this, or singing while playing anything syncopated on an instrument. Never ever could. So much respect to polyrhythmists. 💕

Babymetal did a band instrumental intro for a new song on their Metal Galaxy tour. They each took a solo and ended with the drummer. After they were more than half way through the tour, the drummer incorporated a gravity blast to finish his solo and it blew my mind with how intense and fast it was! Thanks for showing me how it’s done!
Dude, the way he crosses his hands during the Dirk blast is hypnotic. I'm not even a drummer (I dabble every now and then but I'm mainly a guitarist), but I have never met any drummers (face to face anyway) who could do that hand switch so cleanly and precisely.
I was thinking about that beginner blast beats video recently. I'm glad there is now an epic follow-up. Now... Hear me out. 180bpm 2-handed 32nd note gravity blasts?
Not a drummer, and never have been, but watching Samus is such a pleasure. Played with a lot of drummers over the years but his skill and ability to break down complex beats is inspirational. Oh Yuur!
@@VelvetKovorkian I don't know what it means either ... But damn it's funny when Samus says it and since it became a inside joke for the community ... Why not use it lol
You're a really big inspiration for me, Samus. I started playing the drums myself over half a year ago. And now, I'm learning Almost impossible blasts because of you! Thanks in name of me and everbody! Keep going pls 🙃
90%?! Okay, so I'm not only a FF nut, but I also play in a FF tribute band, so here we go.. Dude, they do blast beats like maybe 3 times on an album. Sure, they have a lot on Soul Of a New Machine (which most are super sloppy, and not patterned), then Demanufacture has H-K which has the ever-so-famous "THE MACHINE IS NOW ALIVE..." blast beat. Zero on Obsolete and Digimortal. A little bit on Archetype, a little on Transgression.. Then we get to the Dino return era, which has more of these, as Gene Hoglan not only specialized in that style, but applied them somewhat generously in Mechanize, which in turn influenced The Industrialist and Genexus. Yes, there was more at that point, but certainly not 90%. Thank you for attending my Ted Talk 🤓
Dude. You’re so modest. I’ve watched you forever. I usually like your more comical videos like farts on a keyboard. Like...ya...obviously you’re a great drummer. But dude....you can teach like I’ve never seen. You could seriously teach someone that has never played drums to be able to do those blast beats on their first try because your explanations are so clean and the way you speak there is zero judging or the very common “look at me I’m a bad ass drummer!” You just seem like an honest nice guy. Keep doing you man! Ohhhhhhh yuuuuuurrr!
I just realized that my beautiful soul of a drum teacher in the late-90s post-soviet Ukraine taught me 90% of a dirk blast. Unfortunately the dude drank himself to death, but bless him for teaching me a fundamental that Dirk eventually turned into a blast beat. Fuck yeah. I wish I kept playing drums.
66Seamus- your channel is diverse my dude. It’s hilarious (I show fart metal to everyone I know will appreciate it), it’s informative like this (I’m more of a pocket/feel drummer, but admire metal drummers so fuckin much) and I really enjoy your product reviews. Good on you man. A lot of admiration for you dude.
Most helpfull advice of the whole video at 00:26. I should warm up on this, when I don't forget to warm up (I always forget).. I've been drumming for more than ten years now, and I knew all of this since the beginning, I just CAN'T push myself to do it properly.
If any of you wanna get better at gravity blasts get Ahead sticks in whichever size y want. They’re very top heavy and have lots of rebound which makes it easy to learn gravity blasts
This and your work with Devy shows just how solid your drumming is. Have you considered doing any Rings of Saturn covers on the channel just for the heck of it?
One I'd add to this is basically like the bomb blast, but removing the right foot kicks so that every bass drum hit falls in between snare hits. You play it with both feet. It sounds like the bomb blast, is easier for those who struggle with foot speed, and really helps limb independence! For reference of what it sounds like, It's used in "The Price is Wrong" by Periphery, 5 seconds in.
Benjamin i mean there very well could be a technique that helps you play endurance and i actually know a few for example moving your shoulders gives more endurance.
I'm just an average drummer who will probably never get to his level ever. Yet I love watching these tutorials in the hope that I can still level up my nonexistent skills.
The blast beat in itself makes me laugh. Especially when it’s slower and the double 8th note hands just sounds ridiculous...then cats like yourself speed it all up and it sounds super ridiculous and not in the bad ridiculous way haha. Thanks for your killer content my man. You’ve got like a whole thing goin on the with your sayumases n stuff mmmk?
This is a perfect explanation, well put together, and amazingly well executed. Love your stuff, and this will help a lot of drummers reach that next step.
I'm not a blast beat player - but I appreciate those that are. And it always amazes me at the speed that drummers that tend to gravitate toward blast beats (Pun??????) have. Thank you for sharing this - I'm actually going to try and practice some of these and see if I can do them. Even though I know they aren't easy, you make them look as such with your playing. Again - thank you for sharing -
Your a great teacher. Dirk blast is not flam'd. Technically its lined up when you start using the cymbals. Your my favorite drum personality and I voted for you

The forbidden technique...
Was thinking the same thing, I m gonna try it. I also wanna see if there is a video on it
Fuuun
It's totally possible, except we already have a way to do 32nd notes and it's called FUCKING ROLLS
that's a roll my friend
5:17 is how DRUMMERS tell GUITARISTS how they want the riff to be
I usually associate guitar riffs with blasts and kicks😂
lmao
The example sounds like Future Breed Machine (Messuggah)
Not a drummer, and never have been, but watching Samus is such a pleasure. Played with a lot of drummers over the years but his skill and ability to break down complex beats is inspirational. Oh Yuur!
Samus: So let's start off by counting the Dirk blast in a pattern of threes. one-two-three , one-two-three...
Me in my head: twen-ty-two, twen-ty-two

I learnt dirk blast before I knew it was a thing, I was just practicing flam taps and started splitting them across the hats and snare.

ayyyyyyy more blast beats
That snare had a good rim job. Sounds great 👍🏻🤗
I'm watching this as a guitarist to learn things for composition... and also to abuse my drummer with when we make him play it
Those gravity blasts were so fucking neat man, like in time with the metronome perfectly and everything. You're a wicked player man!
That guitar riff he made reminded me of the outro of remembrance by gojira

Can you maybe do a video sometimes in which you teach us some cool metal fills? Im struggling finding some cool ones
Gravity blast was the very First thing i learned on drums. Ist super intuitive
You should do a video on durability! I can play blast beats clean but only for like 5-6 seconds.
Doesn't need a video. Just play slow enough to be able to play for minutes. Increase speed as you progress.
jonathanmellqvist2 yeah but that really doesnt help for durability. Its a hole different world
You might mean Endurance, friend =)
@@benjamin-us7mw What do you mean by durability then?
Benjamin i mean there very well could be a technique that helps you play endurance and i actually know a few for example moving your shoulders gives more endurance.
