Here's an excerpt of last weeks FB-Live Lesson. In this one John Longstreth talks about his foot-technique. Sign up at www.drumtechniqueacademy.net to watch the full 100 minute in-depth tutorial. ★★ Drum-Technique Workshop Vienna: bit.ly/2mfmwKi ★★
I have been listening to, and following John's drumming progression since Origin's "Informis Infinitas Inhumanitas". He has been a continuous source of inspiration and creative excitement. He's a marvel of technique and ability, and an absolute beast when it comes to discipline and practice. People should listen, and listen CLOSE!
Dave Culross. Malevolent Creation. He was on one of my favorite records back in the day. 1995s Eternal on Pavement Records. He was also on Suffocations 1997 EP Despise the Sun. The original stormblaster. As nasty as it gets that guy.
John's a cool dude and a good band mate to tour with. He came out with us (Fetus) for a tour in 2004, and he had a very short amount of time to learn the setlist and had no problems with that. Fast as hell tempos, too, very challenging to keep up with night after night.
FormulaKimball Those were some of the best years you were with them! Even though you are not with them now you are still apart of Dying Fetus and there music. My 2 favorite albums are “Destroy The Opposition” and “Stop At Nothing”. If you played with the band live in 2003 then I saw you at Brew Ha Ha’s next to Ziggy’s In Winston-Salem NC. It was an awesome show and great sound (I’ve played there too in the Death Metal Band I was in at the time.) Once again thank you for the inspiration and contribution to music.
Did you ever get his pedal settings? He clearly uses some grip tape or something on there as well that wasn’t talked about that I’m sure is help contributing to getting that leverage as well as his mountain shoes he’s wearing.
I wish I could get music notation on how exactly he does his blasts.I know how to do double strokes on my feet like he does.I just don't understand how he puts it together with his hands to do blast beats.I wish I could find some music notation for it.
It depends on the blast beat we are talking about, but the regular one evening the hits of the snare and the hihat would be 8th notes with hands and 16 with the feet.
@xBaphometHx I mean just the Traditional 2 foot blast.I seen a video of him talking about doing doubles on the feet for blasts.I assumed it was just how you do the regular 2 foot traditional blast but using doubles on the feet.I wasn't totally shure if that was how it was done.I just can't find much notation online about double strokes for blast beats.Just double strokes for regular double bass.
@@roberthagmaier9603 I don't quite understand what you say. He plays heel toe when he plays 16th notes on the double bass, which implies playing 2 hits with one foot and 2 with the other consecutively. Other drummers play either ankle technique or swivel technique, which uses singles with each foot.
@@roberthagmaier9603 with heel toe (the technique that John uses) yes. With other drummer's techniques, it is singles but using different motions, and of course it is harder for the muscles.
The sticks clacking together is one of the sounds like makes me freak out, get one of those stick slider holders that new sticks come in with to hold your sticks plz 😂
If it sounds like double bass drumming on a practice pad than its not cheating in my opinion. Its not as if guitar players don’t use a plethora of electronics to obtain the sound they desire. But when a drummer does people give flack. D’oh!
Can i ask if this is the famous 'triggers' that John is using or am i wrong ? I'm not a drummer, sadly, but like to follow few drummers and try to understand the more i can from this amazing World 😅
@@innie721 Yup i know, but i never seen it in details. Usually, even with a dedicated cam on the bass pedals, during a song is not that easy, for me at least, to understand if they are using triggers or not. Don't get me wrong, i'm not thinking is a way to cheat, i understand many of them are using triggers and it's pretty ok if u record/live better with it. Just curiosity 😜
@@JellyRoger_XIII hey bud. Most people who use axis drum pedals they use the triggers that axis offers and they are called axis E-kit or electronic conversion kit for the triggers and they attach to the pedals so its hard to see them. They also have ones that mount to the bass drum hoop but they misfire more so people tend to use pedal mounted triggers. Cheers!
@@Zackmild. Thank You man, truly appreciated ! 👍🏻 Asked about cuz when John use the pedal, in some occasion seems to me that the sound is doubled, but sometimes he go too fast, and in double pedal, so i lose what happened 😂. Just to explain why its difficult to my non-expert eyes/ears to fully understand and recognize triggers on or off. But as i said,just curiosity,nothing more. Thanks again bro, may the Music be always with ya ! 🤘🏻😈🤘🏻
@@JellyRoger_XIII well the sound in this video is doubling because he's hitting the bass drum twice per foot. People call it heel toe or just simply double strokes. Its like doing double strokes with your hands but with your feet. 2 hits per stroke
Every time I see John talking about drums he seems to focus on the negative comments from the public. I think there’s no escaping the online hyper critical mentality that viewers choose to take part in, so why even acknowledge it
Unbelievable; seriously how do you get every single one of the best drummers in the world (- GK, Dave McGraw) to do the DTA? Crack cocaine? Prostitutes? I can't figure it out but it does make you one luck MFer to hang out with these beasts!

"That's the misconception. I don't want to say it's bad because I don't want to say anybody's technique is bad." Well spoken sir.
John's a really good communicator, and I enjoy his take on these subjects. Thanks for sharing, brothers.
john leg strength
😆 Awesome That's a good one.
The master’s here to set the record straight. The guy’s come a hell of a long way since Hammer of The Gods and still relevant.

Thanx for this Video!! A awsome drummer ! I love Longstreth
Awesome video❕👍🏻. Super cool to see Denis on there. He makes amazing pedals❕
Absolutely mandatory !
My favorite drummer by far. I’m super glad you got him on!!
Dude’s a master.
What a bad ass drummer. 👏 🔥

FormulaKimball Are you talking about dying fetus?
@@nemanacemu2024 Yes :)
When you say “us”, if your saying you are a member or was a member of Dying Fetus -(Misery Index) then sir, Thank you for your existence!
@@bultronlagore2095 I appreciate that!! Yes I was in Dying Fetus from 2002 to early 2008.

6 years after and no drumming lessons dvd from john...
AgreewithmeoryoureHitler Was literally just thinking about that lolol
I don't agree
Who gives a shit, let it go...
In a semi-recent clinic you can find on UA-cam, he briefly adressed it, saying it had to be completely redone etc, but it's finally on the way.
@@tambian89 Id say just book a lesson with him, hes a great teacher!
NOW THIS IS A GREAT AWESOME VIDEO!!!! LONGSTRETH IS THE FUCKIN BEST METAL DRUMMER EVER!!!

Monstruo
So, Doubles is
A 1 2 3 4 / B 1 2 3 4
A R r L l / B R L r l?
A• common straightforward doubles
B •is still doubles but they alternate.

What kind of bass drum pedals is he using? ? Never saw them before !!
@@Kain_R_Heinlein acd unlimited pedals from Austria
I love the dog

The man, the myth, the legend.
Was about a foot away from John and Erik watching hate eternal, guys are insane
Fuck Yeah 🤘🏻

cool and funny dude this john longstreth 😁👍
How is that hi hat stand not falling over haha. Must be some great velcro
he has the mannerisms and sayings of a music teacher
That dog is the shit for not even wincing during all that loud play
Every time I see John talking about drums he seems to focus on the negative comments from the public. I think there’s no escaping the online hyper critical mentality that viewers choose to take part in, so why even acknowledge it
In 20 years the academic titles in blast beats field will be handed to the people by prof. Longstreth.
Unbelievable; seriously how do you get every single one of the best drummers in the world (- GK, Dave McGraw) to do the DTA? Crack cocaine? Prostitutes? I can't figure it out but it does make you one luck MFer to hang out with these beasts!
Drummers love talking drums and it gets their names out there. Why wouldn’t they?
Now I know what Longstreth's secret is - tiny feet!
John has to be one of the best extreme drummers of all time. Dude is ridiculous
Fuk yeh!
who's he talking about?
I would like to know English, and not use a translator. I'm sitting watching, I don’t understand anything, but it’s interesting.
Oh, longboard pedals that are direct drive. I see.
In desperate need of New Origin ..
Amazing drummer, but not the best in explaining his technique..
