Casually rolling, bro. Blasts require a cymbal AND kick. This is the most stereotypical display of a drum solo, ever. Its great, but its not profound or groundbreaking.
@@brainimpalement Mmm yeah, but he was playing on the rims, which is not the same thing as a rimshot, which is when you simultaneously hit the head AND the rim of the drum at the same time.
Mike Portnoy plays a really cool pattern using rim shots at the end of "Finally Free" off of the Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes from a Memory album. That whole drum part at the end is awesome. He creates a polymeter with the double bass part that's bizarre and awesome at the same time.
because it sounds kind of silly. Any drummer _can_ play their patterns on the shallow tinny metal rims of their drums if they want, but they have drums for a reason. It's a novelty that isn't any harder than regular drumming.
@@poppinlochnesshopster3249 idk this is pretty difficult and seems torturous for your arms. He’s not doing a buzz roll or something, he’s actually hitting the drums that fast
Sam Woodyard is a forgotten legend. He also inspired Keith Moon and Ginger Baker to play the double bass drum. Woodyard and Sunny Murray were the true pioneers of blast beat.
@@Blueeye9677It's pretty known double bass comes from jazz. Louie Bellson introduced two bass drums back in the 40's. He did simple stuff for todays standards but you can hear the basis of what Cozy Powell, Tommy Aldridge and Alex Van Halen did decades later.
@@Blueeye9677Marching bands did double bass before drum kits were even a thing. No seriously, in most marching bands bass drum(s) usually gets played on both sides with both hands.
He is moving the sticks closer and further from the rim so the pitch changes. You can do it with a ruler on a counters edge.. hold on counter tight and flick the other end and slide the ruler more on the counter.. it will do that.
@@MikeB-nn4nh Take it from a long-time drummer. morbidmanmusic is correct. The sticks are first hitting the rim up close to the tip, then as the roll goes on he moves the sticks forward so that more of the neck and body of the sticks are hitting (which changes the amount of mass hitting the rim, which changes the pitch). He goes forward and backward to get that effect.
It's incredible how much death metal and extreme metal in general is indebted to jazz. Blasts,double bass and off kilter time signatures would not be a thing without jazz. Cynic,death,imperial triumphant,atheist and candiria come to mind.
This isn't even remotely true, when we're looking for the origins of gravity blasts, double bass, etc. we do not give a shit about some jazz drummer from the 50s or 60's because they don't matter in a death metal context. The blast beats in a genre like deathcore have no debt to anything related to jazz because the techniques aren't used the same and aren't nearly on the same level.
@@getshwiftygaming447you have no fucking clue about the evolution of music and drums. Modern drum set playing is inexorably indebted to jazz. I love metal but it would be completely ignorant to deny such reality. Before metal existed, even before rock existed, many concepts we use today were being used by jazz drummers. You would do well to respect and even learn some jazz. Many of the greatest rock and metal drummers were passionate about drummers like buddy rich, Tony Williams, Vinnie colaiuta etc.
Ginger Baker got a second bass drum after going to see Duke Ellington's band. Woodyard was a major influence on him and their kit set ups are basically the same. Baker was a major influence in turn on Neil Peart and Alex Van Halen, among others. That's how the jazz influenced the metal.
I remember first seeing this on a DVD my parents got me back in the early/mid 2000's. The part where he plays on the rim still cracks me up to this day. 😂
a blast beat is generally CYMBAL and SNARE, this is a rapid Flam. The Beatles released Twist and shout in 1963, where Ringo does a blast beat (with Cymbal and snare) so, that be the first, though any video or recording of Jazz songs from 50s, 40s, 30s, 20s with a blast would pre date these.
Because technical or not, jazz is boring as hell. I don't need half hour solos for all instruments. You're good, I get it, but the song itself needs to be good too, not just instrument wank fests.
And all you need to add to this to sound identical is white noise on a shortwave radio and a guy having a heart attack into one of those toy microphones that sounds like reverb
@@ShowerOnceYearly hey man, as a fan of grindcore that offends me. It's not a heart attack, it's a combination of panic attack and diarrheal frenetics.
Fascinating to witness the evolution of music techniques and how they've been pionneered then developped in such different contexts over the course of History. That's why as a musician, you must be open minded and curious about every form of music out there, you may learn something then reinterpret it so it can open a whole new realm of musical expression.
If you'd put a jazz drummer, a jazz bassist, a flamenco guitarist, a blues guitarist and an opera singer together in a room with the task of writing an angry, energetic song with politically progressive lyrics back in the late 40's, you'd get an amazing metal song! This would be especially true if you magicaly provided them with a Gibson Les Paul for rhythm, a Fender Stratocaster for leads, a Fender Precision Bass, and some massive amps (Marshall Super lead and Super Bass, with a 4x12 and 4x15 cab respectively) as well as a Wah and a fuzz box.
Imagine what you could accomplish back in the days before the distractions of phones and internet. This dude probably played drums the majority of his hours awake; and then dreamed about playing.
I had never seen this drummer before but by the way he holds the sticks and hits the drums, I would say he has an obvius background as timbalero, nevertheless mad skills.
@@nothing_face Jazz is more open minded than metal overall. Jazz musicians are more technical than metal musicians overall. Jazz harmony is more complex than metal harmony overall. Sorry if i seem elitist or anti-metal, i like metal but thats the truth
Not a blast beat just really fast playing. A blast beat is one hit with a kick and cymbal followed by a snare, played extremely quickly. Still really impressive, just an inaccurate title.

I just read up on Sam. He was a super open minded drummer. If Technical death metal was a thing in 1962, he would have played in a TDM band

You described it perfectly. I heard it too but couldn't put it into words.
He is moving the sticks closer and further from the rim so the pitch changes. You can do it with a ruler on a counters edge.. hold on counter tight and flick the other end and slide the ruler more on the counter.. it will do that.
Would disagree, looks more like it’s the same section of the sticks., and closer points along the rim, changing how the rim vibrates
