Well, I'm looking for names of drummers who do one footed blasts (preferably with no triggers) and any instructional vids on the subject. I'm not talking about "cheat blasts" (eventhough I think that name is stupid, if it sounds like a blast, it's a damn blast).Just give me the band names please (I think it's obvious that I'm looking for bands who's CDs and tabs I can easily obtain, not some obscure metal bands from Uzbekistan or something). Thank you much in advance, my pretties.

cheat blasts?

I think almost every drummer for Nile used one footed blast. Derek Roddy has a video out. He triggers though. Malevolent Creations drummer does one footed blasts. I dont know any others. Everytime i try to see if the drummer is using one or 2 feet, the other instruments are to loud(other than Malevolent Creation).

I belive shes talking about when instead of using just one foot, you split it up between both feet. Hopefully that makes sence

No, I'm talking about splitting foot work in half.

Derek Roddy does do one-footed blasts and has a video out (I'm not sure if he covers blasts on it, though), but he also triggers. Pete Sandoval does one-footed blasts and didn't trigger until Formulas, but has no video out. I know Hellhammer does one-footed blasts, but I don't know anything else about him. I'd expect most top-tier extreme metal drummers (all of whom should be in easily accessible bands, by extreme metal standards) to do one-footed blasts, and most of the older ones to have at least gone a long while without triggering, but I don't really know. I've definitely never heard of a drum video geared towards death metal drumming other than Roddy's.

I'm pretty sure Derek Roddy triggers because once double bass gets so fast (up in the 230+ BPM range) the clarity of notes deminish. And considering the song "King of All Kings" is like 250 all the way through, he has a reason to trigger.

and plus triggering helps keep 2 basses nicely in tune....

erm flo does one footed blasts unless he is gravity blasting erm I know he has a video floating around somewhere.

erm nmost extreme drummers do it one footed although I think nick did it with 2, but good luck in finding videos!

you migh wanna check out derek's forum, it has some cool shit there

Thats what i was talking about

Derrek does trigger his bass drums. Theres like 2 whole threads arguing about derrek roddy and triggers. Also theres a thread that has info on the derek roddy video. He does cover blast beats. I found ordering info on an interview with him so you could probably search derek roddy and find it. And yes, Flo from cryptopsy has a video out.

Yay Cryptopsy! What kind of stuff is on that video?

I did a search and found this description on the Pearl site, written before it was recorded:

This well documented experience in extreme metal drumming will cover such topics as warm ups, basics of speed drumming, endurance excercises, creative rythms, and much more including different drum solos and play along segments for some of Cryptopsy’s most popular songs.

I wonder what Cryptopsy's most popular songs may be. That should definitely include blast technique, getting speed way up very cleanly, etc. There's probably a better description of it out there, I just liked the last bit.

tim Yeung does the one footed blast.

In the new Kataklsym album "Serenity in fire" the drummer does very fast blasting with single kick(I'm pretty sure he is doing one handed snare roles tho). Other Kataklysm drummers do it too. I think that i read somewhere that Flo from Cryptopsy covers a couple songs from their upcomming album on his instructional video, so it should have some blasting parts.

erm Slit your guts would probably be their most popular song (it is my favourite)

as for Kataklysm I used to think he was doing a snare roll until I saw the video and saw that it was a gravity blast beat.

The new album of Kataklysm the track the ambassador of pain has some of the fastest gravity and DB work I have EVER heard, it left me speachless (which is a hard thing to do nowadays)

Interesting. I'll look into the Flo video too

Cool, I trust Cryptopsy a lot more than I would trust Derek Roddy to make a useful video, so I'm going to buy the Flo video first.

hmmm I would say Derek is better than Flo, but not by much, Derek is more versatile

and for your info Flo triggers his kicks too.

SHIT
