To everyone complaining about the "I'll post a demonstration video sometime in the future.". Well, he probably already has, you just can't watch it, since he posted it in the future.
blastbeatingjerk666 Its because they don't play live, IA is a internet band. He is in the drummer for another live band called Black Tongue, so they might have some live footage from there. But you will never see a "live set" from IA.
yh of course, just tipe in youtube search bar : 320 bpm drumming. You know.... the people flamming here are just retardet cunts that are to mind reduced to observe that THIS video was only a joke! This drummer plays on a inhuman speed and most people dont want to belive that because they 1. are just dumb as fuck or 2. are too jealous. They think Aaron Kitcher (the drummer) is producing his drum parts with a software, because hes not able to play it himself. But thats total bullshit xD, he proved on multiple video and live that he is really playing everything by himsel, not with a programm or triggers! Here 3 videos: ruclips.net/video/_YUKEowJV4M/видео.html ruclips.net/video/y6M-epc-JfE/видео.html ruclips.net/video/SImHi16cwqc/видео.html
I’ll tell all people who think this is real right now to get your facts correct. Because if you believe this is in any way real you are mistaken. Sure the quality is bad which would make you think that it has a higher likely hood of being real. But me, and any other drummer who does heel toe will know that this is impossibly clean and sounds exactly the same as a machine that is quantized to perfection. He also literally did not change how his legs were moving at all, that does not look like a double stroke roll at all!!!
So he's double toe tapping each foot like the single foot drummers do in punk rock. That's serious talent because it's hard enough to do with one foot let alone do it alternating between beats.
Yes, I do realise that. As far as I know on both albums they hadn't the possibilty to record proper acoustic drums. And programmed drums don't mean compulsory that they can't be playable. Look at his old drum-playthrough from "Decapitation Fornication" where he already achieved 320 bpm and now a few years have past where he has still practised. All I say is that I think Aaron can really play all his stuff; even the short 400 bpm part on "Blasphemian"...
None of the drumming is real lol. It's all programmed. I used to do something similar on my Roland TD-6KV electric kit. You can record something at 140bpm-half speed and then go into the module and speed up the recording to 280bpm and it sounds super clean double speed, or what ever multiple you want. Doesn't mean it doesn't sound neat but he cannot play this stuff at full speed lol.
He’s using triggers not double strokes or heel-toe if you look you can clearly see his feet moving at the same speed as when he first started the video.

Insane dude . You are quite blessed ability and work ethic wise brother no one gets feet that fast without a gift and putting in a determined effort to acquire such speed and precision awsome . Thanks for showing people what can be achieved !
Oh my fucking god. You can hear the untriggered drums from the camera microphone if you listen closely. 8th notes the entire length of the video. Holy shit. I'm sorry, I hate to be "that guy". But still, half of you complaining on here need to put a cork in it. Every band you listen to uses triggers. The dude can play. 320 BPM? Maybe not. But he's very skilled, and his music is excellent! He and Eddie certainly know how to write, and I'm eagerly awaiting their next project!
IOutDoSyndicate No disrespect, but I know exactly what I'm talking about. I get what triggers do. They record and play a midi samples, and it's super easy to program midi. The drum tones used on IA's debut are samples from Superior Drummer's Avatar presets, so they have the tools to program drum machines. All they did was program the 16ths and line it up with the video. It would take no more than three minutes to do all of that. And even not knowing that, I don't see how you can disagree when it takes a grand total of 15 seconds to hear the acoustic strokes for yourself. I really don't know why you have to come at me like I'm stupid.
Brock Bowman You are stupid, as you called called yourself and I will just use, because you are disregarding two very important factors. 1). Kitcher has at least some form of credibility. Speed isn't foreign to him. 2). Heel toe (Actual heel and actual toe, using the entire board) produce shallower follow up hits so how you think a more subtle foot movement would produce intense follow up hits is actually quite off to me. Now he could have set a sample over this quite easily, but you only get to do that once before your credibility goes to shit. Considering 160bpm is near or at the starting pace for every beginner, I don't find it that extravagant that he has figured a way, that probably already exists, to control double hits with less movement and less stamina use than heel toe. I guess we'll see when we either get a tutorial or a meme face.
haha dude what the hell? i've been nothing but respectful to you. whatever. you're grasping at straws. you're using like three different named logical fallacies at once. his credibility is completely irrelevant to his abilities. give me one reason why it is. and maybe, just maybe, i could believe he was using a very, very controlled heel toe technique if you couldn't hear the acoustic 8th notes in the video. you still have not addressed that, you want to ignore it. instead, you want to talk about triggers, and heel toe, and everything else, just like you did on all the other comments. the dude can play, but this is not legit. i really didn't want to turn this into an argument, but so be it. have a nice day! :)
Brock Bowman Dude, the second stroke of each double is most likely quieter acoustically, than the first hit (or vise versa). That's why triggers are used; to keep the velocity of each hit the same, no other purpose - other than to change the sound. That's most likely the reason you can only hear 8th notes acoustically, because those are the hits that are most prominent through the camera's microphone. You can easily tell he's playing at that speed, because otherwise the triggers wouldn't be picking up that many hits, no matter what velocity he's playing them at. You mentioned that he could've edited a kick sample over the video? No chance. Listen to the sound quality, it's clearly the camera. Unless he's got some amazing digital plug-in that allows you to change the audio file quality to 'potato'.
I feel like this video is just Aaron making fun of all the people who blindly attack any dissenters of his skill. That's right every one of you raging fanboys, even Aaron is laughing at you
@@mattgrinsythe9595 You can literally hear the acoustic kick never changes speed, lmao! I don't even think Aaron TRIED to cover it up with the trigger. This is pretty funny if you're right.
So many people who either don't read the description or don't know what doubles/diddles are.... Of course the 16ths are accented in the acoustic version of the 32nds.
It throws people off because the way he moves his hands and his overall style looks very amateur, but the sound that comes out is extremely advanced, especially the speed and precision.
To those saying this is fake. Having actually started using triggers for practicing at college etc, I actually found that if you time it right with your feet, you can achieve double where your foot goes down once, the main hit is normal volume (as alot of you are pointing out), but you can get a second hit, that is basically the rebound of the beater vs movement of your foot resulting in a very, VEEERY quiet hit as like a "bounce" on/off the head. Obviously when using a trigger (presuming like most death metal drummers the sensitivity is like over 9000) this results in a double hit. Also note that because this is more a "bounce" from the beater you dont move your foot as if youre doing two hits. I guess some would say its "cheating". Think of it as doing a buzz roll instead of fast singles for fills. Either way wouldnt say this video is fake what so ever.
My favorite part of this is how he left the actual dry acoustic sound of the bass drum far enough forward in the mix that you can still hear it, he’s screwing with the fanboys for sure
NathanDrums I see... I suppose you mean to say that he can't play specifically 320bpm double pedals right? Calling him a bad drummer wouldn't be correct. That's, at least by my book.
Give cuntcrusher - drum playthrough a listen - It's really impressive. You're saying that Aaron is faking some of the drumming. I'm assuming you're talking about an electronic equivalent to the original drumset through music software? Exactly who has told you they're "faking"? Is it something they've announced?
u people really don't get how double strokes work do you, if u watch Aaron stechauner from ROS play through inadequate, u can see pretty much every stroke while his feet seemingly move at half speed, this is cause of him pushing on the pedal in a weak and almost indirect way so that the high tension in the pedals result in a second note. this note is really quiet in acoustic drums without triggers hence the weird sounding bass drum
You do realize that triggers play the drums for you fucking idiot. They dont enhance anything. Now if he recorded this and then had it edited and mixed in with effects it wouldnt sound like shit ( which i dont think this does sound like shit anyway) Get your information sorted out before you post a hateful comment. Fucking idiot.
***** Exactly. Triggers enhance the sound but not your accuracy and speed. This is impossible to have the same sound at 300bpm than at 150. (I hope you understand what I want to say).
i remenber listening infant annihilator last years... aaron kitcher is a fucking god for ppl that wonder aaron has no technique but he try to be fastest as possible
Everyone saying this is fake needs to do more research on triggers, different foot techniques and extreme metal drumming in general. Please, just stop pretending you're experts on the subject. I promise you this is real. Hell, I can double kick at this speed using heel-toe. I was doing it 5 mins ago. It's far from impossible and many drummers do it faster. I've seen him live and he's a great drummer. All you guys are doing is making yourselves look childish and uninformed.
And heel-toe always sounds like garbage without triggers. And it's usually very inconsistent. If you can double at 300+ doing RLRLRL, and do it clean without triggers, that would be impressive.
Dude, no. You're acting like it's impossible to do when there are thousands of drummers who can, myself included. Either he's been faking his abilities for at least 7 years and still managed to build a thriving career around drumming or he really can play this. Aaron's not a moron so I can promise you this is real. I've also seen him play live with Black Tongue where he whipped out the 32nds in a few spots, not to mention all of his videos where he's doing shit around this speed.
You can literally see the drive shaft of the pedals staying the same speed, and you can hear it. Aaron is one of my favorite drummers, but this is CLEARLY fake.
Once again, not reading my comments. His movements are identical. You have to move you foot and ankle slightly different to do double strokes, obviously, and hes is obviously not doing that. I dont think there is a drummer alive that can do double strokes without actually doing the motions for double strokes. and back to the biggest point here, YOU CAN HERE THE DRIVE SHAFT MAKING THE SAME SOUND FROM GOING THE SAME SPEED THROUGH THE WHOLE VIDEO
IMF98 - and for fucks sake, look at the drive shaft. its literally staying consistent throughout the entire video. there would be an apparent difference if he wouldve started doing double strokes, but no
I love how people think this is serious video. He made it super obvious that it was fake just so that he could get people to call it out. He’s going along with the programmed/triggered arguments against the band with this video.
@@gromoliver4270 yes this one in particular could be fake. But I was implying that it's not impossible to play it live, as many comments have stated. Mogran Sansous did it for example.
ATTENTION EVERYONE! BEFORE COMMENTING ABOUT HOW THIS IS FAKE OR THAT HES USING TRIGGERS, THIS VIDEO AND ALL CONTENT MADE BY INFANT ANNIHILATOR IS A FUCKING JOKE. THEY ARE KIDDING. AS IN HUMOR. THEY PROGRAM THEIR DRUMS ON PURPOSE AND PRETEND TO PLAY IT LIVE IN ORDER TO BE FUNNY. WHY DO YOU THINK THEY DONT PLAY LIVE SHOWS. THEY ARE A JOKE BAND WHO WRITE GOOD MUSIC BUT DO IT UNREALISTICALLY FAST ON PURPOSE. THEY ARE JUST BEING FUNNY SO STOP BEING STUPID
actually you are the stupid one here. Even if the band is a joke, aaron can play this fast I saw him live in brazil and he played almost this fast with a strange foot techniche
except they don't play live because immediately after releasing the album the singer quit, until weeks ago they didn't even have a full band, and their drums sound programed due to the fact that whilst recording the only drum kit Aaron Kitcher had was an electric Roland kit, causing the artificial sound you hear across the album, you can hear him play on a real kit in his Cuntcrusher playthrough, you can see the kit he used to record the album in the Decapitation Fornication playthrough. Make sure what you know what you're talking about before you make yourself look ignorant on the internet.
Sorry buddy, AI was always intended to be an internet band, "Make sure what you know what you're talking about before you make yourself look ignorant on the internet."
It may not essentially be heel-toe, but they are still double strokes. I'm not saying Aaron is shitty, he's amazing actually, but I can't say I am a fan of how he starts doing doubles at only like 230 when other drummers like George Kollias can still hit 280+ with singles and sound a lot more natural and clean because of it. If you want another drummer that has taken Kollias's technique to heart, check out David Diepold.
He is using the Heel-Toe Technique. Origins drummer is one of the best at it. It’ seems that the people who talk the most crap about musical instrument playing are people who don’t play in the first place. It’s like me telling a jet fighter pilot he is a terrible pilot when I have zero knowledge of piloting. Also triggers are “not” cheating. The drummer still has to play the beats in time. People who keep saying that IA produce there music with a computer DAW is correct, but so is literally everyone else in and outside the music business.
I cant believe people think this is fake. Do you guys not know who this is? Have you not seen any of his videos? Maybe you shouldn't be so jealous of his speed.
Been listening to you guys for a while how did I just discover this?! I hope y'all released new music this I also hope you experiment with some electronics, symphonics and a couple of different styles of metalcore
320bpm...clean too... that is the fastest double bass i have ever heard heel toe.keep it up! but david diepold, george kollias, tim yeung, alex rudinger are still great. i can only play 260 single stroke for 8-10 seconds -seth thomas
The first part I loved. Single strokes on the feet played clean and precise. The second part when he plays the 320 time I hate! Don't get me wrong I love the quality of his strokes (clean and precise sounding of the bass drum he achieves, yes I know with triggers but he is still playing without any obvious gating and so is extremely precise)and his wonderful rhythmic accuracy, no flamming, clipping etc. But the overall result is , for my ears, a comic absurdity where one can now measure when musicality ends and acrobatics begin. I say this not as a jab at him as I know of many performances where he demonstrates aptly his musical mind and sensibilities but here though I struggle to enjoy this as a musical option on the drums as it reminds me of a doorbell being rung very quickly and constantly. I'm offering in my comment the question of if certain speeds of playing can exit the realm of musicality? I always thought for example dragon force never sounded musical but sounded like music played too fast with the audible result being more Olympic than emotional. To support my claim I challenge you all to share with me a song of great speed which you consider to emotional stir you and not just acrobatically entertain you. For me opeth have ventured the limit without losing the emotional impact of the song:ghost of perdition. This speed though in this video doesn't sound like it would belong in a song that moves you
Opeth's "Ghost of Perdition", no doubt, a fantastic example of musicality in metal. As for your question, I think there is a limit, but that limit is more about the impact than it is about the actual speed and impact is dependent on audience as well as the artist's execution of intention. Audiences for extreme metal are assumed to be adjusted well enough to speed that it doesn't pose a punishing or negative experience for them (you don't want your audience to get overwhelmed or pained by your performance, unless you do, and then you're an asshole). And yeah, you don't want to risk turning your speed into something boring, and good bands will know how to avoid doing that. It goes back to the artist's intention and the execution of that intention. Two additional thoughts: 1) Dragonforce's music moves people in the same way that caffeine does. I don't think it's fair to compare them to a band like Opeth; they're both good but for different reasons. 2) If you haven't yet, you might consider listening to the drum playthrough of an IA song (such as this one ruclips.net/video/SImHi16cwqc/видео.html). It might help put IA's speed into context in a way that this drumming clip doesn't.

My favorite part of this is how he left the actual dry acoustic sound of the bass drum far enough forward in the mix that you can still hear it, he’s screwing with the fanboys for sure
David Oswald thats the pedals
Thats the footboard of the pedals...
Happy birthday
i'm not a drummer anymore, but i'd love to see the demonstration video, because it seems like your legs stay a consistent speed the entire time.
they do. he just goes from single strokes to double strokes...
big props as a fellow drummer.
Fuck yes! How about you put some of your soundcloud songs on yt?:p Like "more filth" its fucking insane.
Aaron Kitcher: plays insane double bass
Also Aaron Kitcher: :)
For the people that still don´t get it, it´s a joke.
What's the joke then?
+Hugo Peter that he's fake and can't play it.
NathanDrums I see... I suppose you mean to say that he can't play specifically 320bpm double pedals right? Calling him a bad drummer wouldn't be correct. That's, at least by my book.
+Hugo Peter not that specifically, there's other things he's faking as well.
Give cuntcrusher - drum playthrough a listen - It's really impressive.
You're saying that Aaron is faking some of the drumming. I'm assuming you're talking about an electronic equivalent to the original drumset through music software? Exactly who has told you they're "faking"? Is it something they've announced?
what we do to deserve aaron kitcher
yeah he real looks like hes enjoying IT
Damn. Amazing!
Dude, you're dragging that Snare and HiHat...
My Mom likes drag too. She calls me dad and makes me wash my room with dishes. It's a stroke.
His face is like ''ARGGG I WANNA POOP!!!''
But that fucking hot double bass is AWESOME!!!
Good job!
0:06 *god mode activated*
u people really don't get how double strokes work do you, if u watch Aaron stechauner from ROS play through inadequate, u can see pretty much every stroke while his feet seemingly move at half speed, this is cause of him pushing on the pedal in a weak and almost indirect way so that the high tension in the pedals result in a second note. this note is really quiet in acoustic drums without triggers hence the weird sounding bass drum
Its hard to believe a guy this fast...plays in Black Tongue
Cough 'infant annihilator ' cough
@6PuT6RiD6 he can totally play them live though, which is why he said touring is a possibility
@@nightskye5208 When did he say that there's a chance he will tour with Infant Annihilator?
@@andrej7840 I don't exactly remember but its on the wikipedia page
@@nightskye5208 Wow, ain't you delusional
He makes it seem so easy... Talented bastard
Aaron Kitchen is one hell of a drummer.
This is badass... But without triggers it sounds like shit :/
You do realize that triggers play the drums for you fucking idiot. They dont enhance anything. Now if he recorded this and then had it edited and mixed in with effects it wouldnt sound like shit ( which i dont think this does sound like shit anyway) Get your information sorted out before you post a hateful comment. Fucking idiot.
Romain MANCEL
But this is not always cheating. George Kollias for exemple has power with his foot even at high tempos, just look at the beaters.
Pwo fesi
(and this is not a hateful comment, I said this is badass)
*****
Exactly. Triggers enhance the sound but not your accuracy and speed. This is impossible to have the same sound at 300bpm than at 150. (I hope you understand what I want to say).
***** i think the triggers sound bad ass...
i remenber listening infant annihilator last years... aaron kitcher is a fucking god for ppl that wonder aaron has no technique but he try to be fastest as possible
at the beginning of the video it sounded like gunshots
Love this dude
But the drive shaft stays at the same tempo.. So.....
+BurnThePope0514 you obviously know nothing about double strokes
Wow
Yes I would love a demonstration!
Everyone saying this is fake needs to do more research on triggers, different foot techniques and extreme metal drumming in general. Please, just stop pretending you're experts on the subject. I promise you this is real. Hell, I can double kick at this speed using heel-toe. I was doing it 5 mins ago. It's far from impossible and many drummers do it faster. I've seen him live and he's a great drummer. All you guys are doing is making yourselves look childish and uninformed.
And heel-toe always sounds like garbage without triggers. And it's usually very inconsistent. If you can double at 300+ doing RLRLRL, and do it clean without triggers, that would be impressive.
If he was using heel toe, then his drive shaft would show the double hits. I don't think he's trying to fool anybody, I think it's meant to be a joke
Dude, no. You're acting like it's impossible to do when there are thousands of drummers who can, myself included. Either he's been faking his abilities for at least 7 years and still managed to build a thriving career around drumming or he really can play this. Aaron's not a moron so I can promise you this is real. I've also seen him play live with Black Tongue where he whipped out the 32nds in a few spots, not to mention all of his videos where he's doing shit around this speed.
The man’s legs are god damm machine guns. What an absolute beast!!!
You can literally see the drive shaft of the pedals staying the same speed, and you can hear it. Aaron is one of my favorite drummers, but this is CLEARLY fake.
2 strokes per pedal elevation.
no. you can hear the sound of the pedals moving and they are staying the same speed. its a fake
Once again, not reading my comments. His movements are identical. You have to move you foot and ankle slightly different to do double strokes, obviously, and hes is obviously not doing that. I dont think there is a drummer alive that can do double strokes without actually doing the motions for double strokes. and back to the biggest point here, YOU CAN HERE THE DRIVE SHAFT MAKING THE SAME SOUND FROM GOING THE SAME SPEED THROUGH THE WHOLE VIDEO
IMF98 - Example, the sound that comes out at 0:02 comes again at 0:06. the sound being the single stroke of the pedal.
IMF98 - and for fucks sake, look at the drive shaft. its literally staying consistent throughout the entire video. there would be an apparent difference if he wouldve started doing double strokes, but no
That’s insane . I had decently fast double bass when I played but idk how people get THIS fast
I love how people think this is serious video. He made it super obvious that it was fake just so that he could get people to call it out. He’s going along with the programmed/triggered arguments against the band with this video.
Damn Aaron is killing it
Ah yes, from 2013, back when the world was ok
My old buddie Lucas McMillan used this technique and achieved some crazy speed with it as well.
Not quite my tempo.
Just kidding it's freaking insane bro 😮
That... Blew my mind..
you can tell by the pixels that this was engineered
People in disbelief probably haven't seen George Kollias do this speed years before Aaron Kitcher did. lol
Wow, nobody in the comments knows about quadruple pedals. :D
Exactly
They are awesome
Nice, I didn't, thanks, always thought they use that pedals where you kick with the front foot and the heel, amazing stuff.
Except there's a problem. Those aren't quad pedals. From what I can see, those are just Axis A Longboards. Nothing that special about those.
@@gromoliver4270 yes this one in particular could be fake. But I was implying that it's not impossible to play it live, as many comments have stated. Mogran Sansous did it for example.
Holy moly borwly awesome dude \m/, Can't wait for the upcoming Album :D You are freakin' awesome man \m/,
Easy, even I can do that...
(I didn't say about the second part)
I watch this whole day
ATTENTION EVERYONE! BEFORE COMMENTING ABOUT HOW THIS IS FAKE OR THAT HES USING TRIGGERS, THIS VIDEO AND ALL CONTENT MADE BY INFANT ANNIHILATOR IS A FUCKING JOKE. THEY ARE KIDDING. AS IN HUMOR. THEY PROGRAM THEIR DRUMS ON PURPOSE AND PRETEND TO PLAY IT LIVE IN ORDER TO BE FUNNY. WHY DO YOU THINK THEY DONT PLAY LIVE SHOWS. THEY ARE A JOKE BAND WHO WRITE GOOD MUSIC BUT DO IT UNREALISTICALLY FAST ON PURPOSE. THEY ARE JUST BEING FUNNY SO STOP BEING STUPID
actually you are the stupid one here. Even if the band is a joke, aaron can play this fast I saw him live in brazil and he played almost this fast with a strange foot techniche
Ok spoodermen im talking about actual ia music
except they don't play live because immediately after releasing the album the singer quit, until weeks ago they didn't even have a full band, and their drums sound programed due to the fact that whilst recording the only drum kit Aaron Kitcher had was an electric Roland kit, causing the artificial sound you hear across the album, you can hear him play on a real kit in his Cuntcrusher playthrough, you can see the kit he used to record the album in the Decapitation Fornication playthrough. Make sure what you know what you're talking about before you make yourself look ignorant on the internet.
Sorry buddy, AI was always intended to be an internet band, "Make sure what you know what you're talking about before you make yourself look ignorant on the internet."
+Spoodermen Produktionz they're not real lmao
Thats impressive
It may not essentially be heel-toe, but they are still double strokes. I'm not saying Aaron is shitty, he's amazing actually, but I can't say I am a fan of how he starts doing doubles at only like 230 when other drummers like George Kollias can still hit 280+ with singles and sound a lot more natural and clean because of it. If you want another drummer that has taken Kollias's technique to heart, check out David Diepold.
John Longstreth from Origin, double strokes done the right way.
Simon Schilling dude. He's an 👾
He is using the Heel-Toe Technique. Origins drummer is one of the best at it. It’ seems that the people who talk the most crap about musical instrument playing are people who don’t play in the first place. It’s like me telling a jet fighter pilot he is a terrible pilot when I have zero knowledge of piloting. Also triggers are “not” cheating. The drummer still has to play the beats in time. People who keep saying that IA produce there music with a computer DAW is correct, but so is literally everyone else in and outside the music business.
i have my doubts if this guy is real. it's almost impossible with that technique
deal with it
Shadar Sixx nope,
+Shadar Sixx Not impossible but hard as hell.
its a double stroke technique its perfectly real ive seen him do it on acoustic drum kits
I cant believe people think this is fake. Do you guys not know who this is? Have you not seen any of his videos? Maybe you shouldn't be so jealous of his speed.
Mute the audio. Feet speed don't change.
He's going heel toe on each pedal during his playing.
***** you can see the heel of his right foot, and the motion doesnt change either.
***** not to mention you can actually hear the sound of the double bass pedal's drive shaft making the same constant noise
***** Aaron stated this technique is not heel toe in the description.
Artis Upitis That's because his technique is lying to people on the internet for fun
aaron kitcher winner... hellyeahhhhhh....
fastest double bass in the west
this is pretty amazing, saw one of covers on a facebook comment. sweet!
The look on your face tells all. Thats gotta be rough lol.
Been listening to you guys for a while how did I just discover this?! I hope y'all released new music this I also hope you experiment with some electronics, symphonics and a couple of different styles of metalcore
Thats sick bro
Faster!!! Faster!!!
I'm confused if this is like a joke video or not. If it was I definitely fell for it.
Not quite my Tempo
320bpm...clean too... that is the fastest double bass i have ever heard heel toe.keep it up! but david diepold, george kollias, tim yeung, alex rudinger are still great. i can only play 260 single stroke for 8-10 seconds -seth thomas
Hell-toe technique
+Al Pra (Astronometal) read the desc he says it isn't heel toe but a different double stroke technique
nope its caled fake computer sample technique
heaven toe
it's called a kick drum trigger
Swivel technique. Search for George Kollias.
Hey Aaron, please make a Video explaining foot techniques and demonstrating your single stroke technique with one foot. ;-)
You can tell it's real cos it looks like he's trying to not shit his pants 😂
Aaron's a BEAST!
Créu!
The first part I loved. Single strokes on the feet played clean and precise. The second part when he plays the 320 time I hate! Don't get me wrong I love the quality of his strokes (clean and precise sounding of the bass drum he achieves, yes I know with triggers but he is still playing without any obvious gating and so is extremely precise)and his wonderful rhythmic accuracy, no flamming, clipping etc. But the overall result is , for my ears, a comic absurdity where one can now measure when musicality ends and acrobatics begin. I say this not as a jab at him as I know of many performances where he demonstrates aptly his musical mind and sensibilities but here though I struggle to enjoy this as a musical option on the drums as it reminds me of a doorbell being rung very quickly and constantly. I'm offering in my comment the question of if certain speeds of playing can exit the realm of musicality? I always thought for example dragon force never sounded musical but sounded like music played too fast with the audible result being more Olympic than emotional. To support my claim I challenge you all to share with me a song of great speed which you consider to emotional stir you and not just acrobatically entertain you. For me opeth have ventured the limit without losing the emotional impact of the song:ghost of perdition. This speed though in this video doesn't sound like it would belong in a song that moves you
Tldr
Opeth's "Ghost of Perdition", no doubt, a fantastic example of musicality in metal. As for your question, I think there is a limit, but that limit is more about the impact than it is about the actual speed and impact is dependent on audience as well as the artist's execution of intention. Audiences for extreme metal are assumed to be adjusted well enough to speed that it doesn't pose a punishing or negative experience for them (you don't want your audience to get overwhelmed or pained by your performance, unless you do, and then you're an asshole). And yeah, you don't want to risk turning your speed into something boring, and good bands will know how to avoid doing that. It goes back to the artist's intention and the execution of that intention.
Two additional thoughts: 1) Dragonforce's music moves people in the same way that caffeine does. I don't think it's fair to compare them to a band like Opeth; they're both good but for different reasons. 2) If you haven't yet, you might consider listening to the drum playthrough of an IA song (such as this one ruclips.net/video/SImHi16cwqc/видео.html). It might help put IA's speed into context in a way that this drumming clip doesn't.
