      I could be wrong but I didn't see him do any single stroke blasts beats. He's doing all double kick, he even does it with slower blasting like in Remembrance by Gojira. Lille Gruber and George Kollias would blast with one foot and mute the high hat with the other. He's got a high hat set up to sound muted instead. This is still an insane cover and display of skill. I just wonder if saying single stroke is a bit misinformy?.
