5 Iconic Double Bass Grooves

[@DrumeoOfficial]

Sorry about the typo in the "Meshuggah" graphic! 😅

[@vph7831]

although sweet drum session but Vinnies CFH is 4 kicks instead of triplets so change that :)

[@brandtvavricka2258]

I've always loved the double bass at the end of Sweating Bullets by Megadeth. Don't know if it can be considered iconic, but it sure is fun to play!

I literally have no idea how Tomas Haake can play an entirely set at that intensity and still keep perfect timing. In fact, i heard that metronomes are actually calibrated by Tomas :) hahaha!

[@BretherPadraig]

It's not the same pattern for the whole entirety of the song. It changes to quadruplets and triplets thereafter

[@cerulean1808]

@@cerulean1808 Well because becoming is the most iconic, is more difficult to play and confuses people as to how to play it correctly as most can't figure it out and even of many of those who have, many of them can't actually execute it. Don't get me wrong though. Slaughtered is f*cking beast!! It's one of my fav's from FBD.

[@CharlesSeraphDrums]

Mudvayne’s “Not Falling”. Tool’s outro of “Schism” with the quintuplet/sextuplet. The syncopated synth/drum pattern during the solo of “Metropolis Pt. 1” by Dream Theater. And one of the first songs to blow my mind was Helloween’s “Ride the sky” with that sixteenth note pattern with the eighth note stops in the chorus.

[@rockmo4896]

[@sjynmusic5601]

"Under a glass moon" by Dream Theater is something you should definetly check out, if you start with double kick. It's pretty easy (easier than most of the beats presented in this video) and very good to develop control and speed. You can also start the beat with your left foot. This will help you later with stuff like "One" and others, where you (sort of) have to lead with both feet.

[@deftones3138]

Avenged sevenfold's "unholy confessions" at the 4:31 marker right before it ends has an awesome double bass pattern that is just fun to play. Rev had some cool double bass patterns for sure like "I won't see you tonight part 2" and I would also include "almost easy" that double ride pattern he does is definitely iconic. 😉

[@vanntooot]

[@joseleonardofigueroa6066]

Dark Angel's "Darkest Descends" features the same double bass pattern used in "One". The only thing is Gene Hoglan played it first. So I think he deserves credit for that one.

[@krackkorn1952]

Darkness Descends is a masterpiece

[@tjbay13]

Yep bleed was a mindblower. I freaked out when i first heard it like a lot of metalheads and musicians did. Cool thing about that song.. it just slams right in from the start. No fluff, no frills... just pummeling. They opened with it when I saw them in 08. Epic. Spiritual experience for me as a drummer and a fan of the band since 96.

First double bass pattern I learned was Refuse Resist by Sepultura.

[@gypbob123]

Awesome Aaron, thanks! The ones that I started with were first Motley Crüe's Red Hot, then Live Wire. They have that driving double bass rhythm, but then they're broken up with double or single bass patterns. Then there is W.A.S.P. , L.O.V.E. Machine. L.O.V.E. this song!!! I learned it from the "Live In The Raw" album, and it was recorded with one bass mike quieter than the second, so it was really a challenge. Overlaid with tom grooves and and a mean ride and crashes, this song R.O.C.K.S. !!!!!

[@ramo2165]

I was a 90's teen. So at the time(late 90's), everyone i knew was geeking out over Fear Factory. So for me the song Shock was an iconic double bass song. And yes, we also listened to Meshuggah. Destroy Erase Improve was out. Yes we realized it is technically impressive. But as far as ICONIC double bass...Shock by Fear Factory.

[@razorrawb]

And ironically enough Dino said he started fear factory by hearing metallica's "one" 🤘 so he started a band with nothing but syncopated double pedal and guitar tunes.

[@waxilliamladrian]

Really appreciate the inclusion of Joey Jordison, it seems like many only decided how influential he was after he died but the guy really had a massive effect on making metal more mainstream. I would go as far as to say much of the metal that was gaining attention during the 00's had Slipknot among others to thank for that exposure. And not that their new stuff is bad per se, but you really feel the difference in writing without Joey and Paul.

That was like the biggest drumming mystery of my generation :) (Teenager in the 80's / 90's). When the "One" video arrived on MTV, it was like a double bass tutorial right there on TV! But what was actually played on Hot For Teacher has been a mystery to so many drummers for so long!

[@jfragale03]

I think one of the coolest double bass parts is the chorus in “This Calling” by All That Remains. It’s not the most rhythmically interesting, but the sheer speed of notes blew me away when I first heard the song!

These kind of videos are so cool to watch because you learn about the things going on in the songs that you might not pick up while just enjoying and jamming the song. Plus these give me ideas how to approach drums when I'm composing. So thank you for that.

One song that preceded Hot for Teacher by a year that’s always stuck in my head for double bass is Red Hot on the Shout at the Devil album. Nothing fancy just straight forward double blast throughout the song!!!

Billy Cobham - Quadrant 4, from the album Spectrum, 1973. There's your Hot For Teacher. Alex Van Halen will tell you that.
