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

[@dannorris642]

Pantera's Slaughtered is one of my favs. The whole song's drum parts are incredible. I'll never forget figuring out the double paradiddle groove during the bridge.

[@cerulean1808]

[@TeamVenture88]

@@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.

[@shantanunathan]

Walk with me in Hell by Lamb of God's Chris Adler. He has waaay too many killer double bass grooves.

[@DrumeoOfficial]

Great track & suggestion!

Half of Lamb of God's catalog could fit this list. A lot of Adler's playing revolves around the feet

[@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.

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. 😉

I love all those songs mainly because of the drums. I’m not a drummer myself, I’m a guitarist. But so many drumfills and grooves have inspired me. One I think was missing is Overkill by Motörhead.

[@failedcreation1]

"Cowboys" over "Becoming"? That's crazy talk.

[@crodriguez2360]

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. !!!!!

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.

Glad to see him cover Hot for Teacher. I’d love to be able to play the song one day.

[@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! That was probably the first song I heard with that type of playing, and I think it also got me into metalcore.

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.

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.

Came here to say this. That beat was used by Gene at the 0:50 mark of Darkness Descends by Dark Angel.

[@NikkLiberos]

Hw even discussed it in an interview, but we have to admit that Metallica made it as well known as it is today, even if it burns a little bit.

[@Tat2Dragons]

One of my favorites Iced Earth - The Coming Curse (Ripper version)

[@MauricioMagaldi]

This groove from "One" is a ripoff from Dark Angel's song Darkness Descends. Gene Hoglan is just too nice of a man to handle this the way he did.

[@ElementalTJ]

Such a good song and album \m/

[@Egoblivion]

Well, yeah he could've gone harder but he still confirmed it with certainty in interviews so he wanted credit. He's one of my favorite drummers though and Metallica is one of my favorite bands...

[@MauricioMagaldi]

@@Egoblivion Yeah, still classy though

[@Egoblivion]

@Anant Raman Idk...

[@Egoblivion]

@@MauricioMagaldi The classy part was when he followed the ripoff confirmation with saying that a lot of people have ripped off Metallica...besides, if he wanted to sue or something, only melodies can be copywritten, not beats and I think also not chord progressions...also though the riff-doubling is similar and the first word is even "Darkness..." so they definitely lifted it but they truly repoed the fucker because Metallica made it sound better, not that Lars can nail it everytime like Gene.

[@punkfan97]

Painkiller is definitely the greatest drum intro ever it deserves a video of its own

[@theviridiansons]

I know right? No Painkiller? wtf?

[@bpabustan]

Anyone notices the slowed down Hot For Teacher groove starts to sound like Tears For Fears' Everybody Wants To Rule The World?

[@devinthierault]

They had a great drummer unfortunately on that song its a drum machine it sounds so much better live

[@bpabustan]

@@devinthierault on Songs From The Big Chair you usually hear two drums. Manny Elias and the Linn Drum machine. On EWTRTW, it's the same set up. But as you said, the Linn is usually more dominant. Yes Manny Elias is a good drummer

[@mrbtapir]

I'm learning Bleed at the moment but using alternating double strokes on the right and left. well tough but great technical workout and I feel it's more even between usage of right and left legs.

[@andywitch666]

I was hoping for Opeth Deliverance, Martin Lopez slays it in that one...

[@Dan16673]

Very straight forward
