Wil Wheaton is a hell of a drummer.
wwHILL wwHEAton!
Haha
Lol the beginning of the song is from Metallica-Sad but true haha
I know right I noticed that instantly
xirtam2669 oh well... you know.
Lukas Hueber Well, except that its not. lolz.
+Dick Mohn sounds like it though \m/
+Lukas Hueber yea the whole intro is like a metallica medley kind of thing goin on.
The thing that I like about this video is that it treats Blast Beats as a legitimate beat within the discourse of drumming. So often many drum instructionals either don't know what Blast Beats are or treat them as primitive or inferior. So thank you guys for treating Blasts as legitimate.
And I would add that I would like to see more peripheral or underground beats presented on the show. For example, the "D-beat" (also known as the "Discharge beat" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D-beat) is also largely ignored or debased within the context of drum education and there is a rich and long history surrounding the rhythmic feel it presents. Heck, I'll be your guest drummer for that episode! haha
Last, maybe some episodes on music philosophy. Specifically, I'd like to hear some discussion about how different musical genres effect different emotions and what maybe the ethical implications of these ways of feeling are. This is of course more high brow. But sometimes people get a little lost in technique and forget that music is a way of communicating moods and lifestyles, and that's one of it's most powerful aspects. Anyway, thanks guys!
Right? and in the beginning we can clearly see he's mixing some latin and samba within his blast beats. Which is incredible.
DBeat rules!
Best thing i like about drumeo has to be the fact that it sparks the interst of many new and eager drummers. Your videos are made so that anyone can understand, regardless of their experience. I've been drumming for 13 years now and I find myself watching the videos just to brush up on some basics and get inspiration. Keep up the great work !
I love that you all take the time to do these lessons for free. I started playing because of these! Keep up the great work!
Im been playing drums for 7-8 years, basically my whole life. I love drumeo and all the instructors. You guys rock!
Thanks for this great drum lesson! Drumeo is a tremendous learning tool for the drumming community. I love their crawl-walk-run teaching style that progressively takes drummers to their next level no matter the individual drummer's starting point. I learn something new each time I watch one of their drum instructors because they all have unique styles and backgrounds. Dave A. does a tremendous job as the continuity instructor and tying it all together. You guys are awesome!
the best live drummer that I have seen is Dave McGraw from cattle decapitation. He is amazingly fast and plays everything so solid. Its one thing to hear it on the album but to hear it live is another thing.
bwestby1 cattle decapitation????? Hahaha.. Nice name, thats awesome..
bwestby1 Cattle Decap is awesome!
Dave McGraw is one of my favorite drummers.
Nice! I've been playing drums for about 6 years now, been following drumeo for a while now, and I thought I knew how to blast reasonably well, but then I watched Sean demonstrate it, and wow! I learnt a lot. Thanks heaps guys!!
I love how great your guys videos are. You truly take the time to explain things and make sure they make sense. Im going to sign up soon!!
This is amazing, thanks so much for this.
I forget how many times i keep coming back to this video for clarification.
Everything i wanted to know is addressed, and made totally clear.
Thanks again.
Back Again 7 Months Later.
The tutorial that keeps giving!
Been playing for 2 years, started watching you guys like, a month before I got my kit cause I was so excited lmao. Love it, learnt HEAPS!
This was an awesome lesson!! Drumeo always release such cool lessons from different styles of playing and music which is what I really like about these guys!
Thanks for breaking things down. Your previous video Heavy Metal Drumming and Blast Beats helped me greatly in reaching the next level in my ability.
Wow unbelievable, I have been waiting for a video like this for a while....I started drumming a few years back and I am very proud of what I have accomplished. I am looking forward to more videos and I hope I get chosen to win one of those awesome bags...Keep up the good work guys and rock on!!!
I think this kind of thing is the future of drum education. I took lessons from four teachers in the traditional sense; each had their preferred styles of playing and instruction, and none of them were ever really a good fit. Having this kind of a lesson structure, range of instruction and community knowledge base is valuable, and if I had the time to commit to fully appreciate something like this these days, I would definitely subscribe.
awesome video!! as a beginner drummer, really enjoyed learning about blasts!!
one of the many cool things about drumeo (and freedrumlessons) is that topics are presented in different ways. there are other videos on the site that will teach you how to increase your speed but this video presents it from a metal perspective. and the "army" of instructors constantly keep things interesting. i'm a more "mature" female student with a full time job...i took up drumming because of drumeo....this method is very comfortable for me and works perfectly with my crazy schedule. thx!
Thanks heaps for the lesson guys, I've really been wanting to learn more about blast beats! I saw Derek Roddy at a drum clinic last month where I was introduced to blast beats and the content covered in Sean's lesson was exactly what I needed. I couldn't catch the lesson live so I appreciate you guys putting the vid up for us and especially providing sheet music for your lessons. The last song Sean played was freaking awesome! Cheers guys, stay metal \m/
Been playing about 5/6 years now, got to keep it interesting with lessons like these.
Great lessons! I start play drums in 2010 and that was not good:) But when I see your (Jared, Dave and etc) lessons, I start understand where was my problem, your explanation better than others. All teacher are great because they are different and I take it that helps me.
start of the first song reminded me of sad but true by metallica
Hahaha
Guys, you are... No comment.
I love your lessone, and never get bored ! My favourite instructor is Sean Lang. HE IS THE BEEEST !!! You deserve a nobel prize man, youre too good for this universe !
Insane, i can't believe how tight the blast beats were, regardless of which hand you were using!
insane.
Hey Guys, I'm an old timer and I only play in a church worship band but I'll tell you something although this would be directly applicable for me in my music, I can see it really building up my endurance and helping me with speeds! Great stuff.
The best thing i like about Drumeo is, their passion to get the drums out in the world!
Sean Is a really good drummer, he explains the metal stuff really well
Been wanting an in depth video of blast beats! Thank you! :D
That was a good lesson guys. I love the sound you're getting out of that kit.
amei essa aula .
foi a melhor de todas que eu assistir ainda !
Thanks a lot for the free videos. Some drummer like me dont have that much money and i love the fact that there is free lessons!
I watched all bass drum vid because that what i like the most and where i want to get really good!
Thanks a lot!!
i love playing drums, been playing for 8 years and never gonna stop
The drums and the sound of the blasts are awsome
My favorite drummer is Sean and you should do a lesson on more thrash or hardcore drumming. Sean has helped me with my double bass and making better fills for my drumming since I like playing heavy stuff.
Dude that play along was awesome!!! Im a beginner drummer n I wanna play rock/metal music but the wrist technique on blast beats to achieve that speed is hard but this really helped! keep it up :)
Hey guys im a drummer from adelaide Think you guys are fantastic. It is really great the effort and time you put into these videos, which are very helpful. had lessons all my life as a kid and you guys are fantastic to revise all these rudiments. have also learnt alot of advanced techniques from u guys and you give me the motivation to wanna practice all my theory and when i get on the kit is is definately not boring as im influenced to try new things and improve all the stuff i know. thank you
Which Adelaide?
I enjoyed watching my first live drumeo lesson and I hope you keep on doing it.:)
I am new to drumming and did not know about blast beats. I cannot believe my own ignorance. But because of the video I am know super interested. Keep the vids coming!
George Kolias from Nile. Nuff said.
Sean, the alternating hammer blasts rudiments were badass! Also, I have a guitarist who consistently writes shit that I have to figure out how to play over haha
i am deffo going to try to learn and play along with this tune, i was about to give the drums a rest, but hearing this tune and the way sean demo'd this peace i am going to keep on going!
- cover video will be coming soon ;)
I really love these metal lessons.
Not really my preferred style of music, but I've been working on this a bit just to get some practice with it and try to improve my speed. Thanks for the vid!
I love the variation in lessons.
one of the best lessons yet
In my case, I really like your video, because I want to learn "blast beat", and you have some exercises to practice everywhere, I have poblems with my neighbor haha.your video is going to help me. Thank you !
very nice drummer! \m/
BTW: the beginning at around 0:11 reminds me of "sad but true" ^^
Such. A. Soild. Drummer.. fuckin power house
Sean perfect song intro drumming m8!! perfect one!!! That man can teach Metal!!!
Awesome lesson by the way very helpful for a beginner metal drummer
Great stuff, i learned that 'hybrid' method when i was trying to play along to a Origin song.
Still my favorite guy on Drumeo, by far. Other than Napoleon Dynamite (:P). And Flo Mounier I guess, but that doesn't happen often...
Great and really helpful lesson!
I never knew about blast beats and am very interested in learning!
i love drumeo because i don't have the money for real lessons. nor do i have the time. i've been playing drums and percussion (yes. real percussion, i have a djembe here) for like 5 or 6 years now. though i have improved, i wouldn't say i'm a world class drummer x]
luckily i am enjoying it. and that's more important to me:D
There are two main ways.
1: They muffle the bass drum, often by putting a pillow inside resting against both heads. This will limit the resonance and make the sound shorter and clickier.
2. Triggers. These are electronic devices that register any time you hit the bass drum and send a sample sound of your choice through the PA/into the recording device. You can use a prerecorded bass drum as the sample sound.
Also, using a kickpad on the bass head and a harder beater (rubber) can help.
I like that snare sound!
I need to study Dominator (formerly of Dark Funeral). Guy is incredible
Nice! You guyz are a positvie people and teach like a boss
amazing videos. been playing drums for 3 years
Congratulations for the drums lessons. It's awesome. On question, what drums heads do you use?
Greetings from Spain
Watching someone play drums is strangely soothing.
"Even your favorite drummers couldn't make it sound good when they first tried..."
Well their was "Vitek" from Decapitated who was a complete badass at the age of 12...
+DANTVSVERGIL pitty he wasn't so good at getting out of car accidents alive.
KloWn694
*Slow clap*
+DANTVSVERGIL but he didn't start at 12
Where in my entire comment did I say that "He started at 12"? Please point that out to me.
DANTVSVERGIL you said "he was badass at the age of 12" to counter the statement "the best weren't great when they started", which implies that you're saying he started at 12, or else your comment wouldn't counter that statement. The other commenter was just pointing this out. You probably didn't mean that the guy started at 12, but when used to counter the original statement, it sounds kinda like that. Hope this helps! *braces for angry reply*
If anyone's looking for lessons on how to blast beat you should look up Eugene Ryabchenko. He's fucking badass and his blasts are amazing. Great finger control
i think that the way sean explains the blasts beats is really cool but i would like to see of the lessons devoted to things like hand and foot speed
Head type will also strongly affect the tone. The Evans EMAD, for example, often gives that sort of "marching band" sound in many cases. The Remo Powerstroke 3 is my choice for that punchy metal sound.
Also tune your batter head fairly loose and reso head slightly tighter.
Keep in mind though that in this video the drum is mic'd, probably from the inside via a port hole, which strongly pronounces the attack of the beater.
I like the idea of using open-handed technique to play the quavers (eighth notes) on the snare with the right hand.
epic vid!
dont know what people did before freedrumlessons!!!!!!
keep up the good work guys!
Blast beats...are awesome!
Been playing for 3 months and find it natural to play, I'm 23 but I'm gonna pursue this instrument as well as the guitar.
I think drumeo is brilliant cos its so informative
My favorite instructor is probably Jared
im 12 years old and ive been playing for 3 years and i love drumeo
0:01:08
Look at Dave's face loosing his smile with Sean's fill
AHHAHA epic
great lesson guys, Sean is a beast!
SHIT GOT EVEN CRAZIER WHEN HE SWITCH FROM OPEN HI-HAT TO CHINA CYMBAL! it's now in my Iphone and I listen to it everyday! Thank you so much, Sean Lang ;)
Gotta be my favorite part about metal ;) Just gotta mention George Kollias when it comes to blast beats, freaking monster!
sean is my favorite instructor just because metal is sick
29:52 I believe that the question was about what specific speed needs to be reached to be considered a blast.
I think you guys should do a lesson on understanding drums for beginners. For example when I started a year and a half ago, I didn't know anything about what drums were good and what weren't. Drums are just drums to beginners and ppl that don't play drums and also I thought that as long as cymbals were straight they were good and I didn't know what sticks were good or anything. I don't personally need this lesson but I wish I had known a lot about drums like this when I started
Love Blast Beats!!!
Hammer (Smashed Face) Blast
actually, the type of blast beat used in hammer smashed face is a bomb blast not a hammer blast lol
I love you guys your vids help me a lot
That China cymbal sounds absolutely amazing...
sean lang, tought me how to play>>>>> thanx to all you guys at drumeo
awesome lesson - thanks guys!
I love the guy who is just sitting there on the computer smiling while watching Sean play. I was doing the same thing lol!
Sean and Callum are awesome!
this dude is grillled
Its not edited in there, its a part of the drumeo studio (on a tv screen) :D
Great Video and explanation.
Haha Dave seems really happy at the beginning :D
Callum rees is my favourite instructor because hes a legend!!!!!!
Voice sounds great over the room mic
Wow, unbelievable !!!
Thanks for that great lesson =)
man it sounds awesome
Nice lesson!
Good lesson!!
Good that you are the expert.
