[@davidbaines7330]

Under a Glass Moon is my favorite

[@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]

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.

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.

The double-bass pattern for "One" is taken directly from the intro of Dark Angel's Darkness Descends (which is played faster).

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.

Have you seen them perform that live??? Jason Costa playing those double bass notes at full speed, clean whilst also using a traditional grip on the sticks. Its bizarre and impressive!!!

[@razorrawb]

@@andymcmillan9260 I love Jason costa! One of my favs but for me some of his coolest double bass stuff was from diecast "tear down your blue skies" album, give it a listen!

[@razorrawb]

That was all Shannon Lucas of ex black dahlia murder dude is a beast for sure!

[@jeffreydean5112]

So happy to see this comment. That song blew me away big time. I love Shannon Lucas’s drums on that album!

[@kennethfurtado7754]

I love this man! Not only a great teacher but absolutely a funny and entertaining guy. Incredible drummer! So smooth!

[@batmanatemyshoe4601]

Drinking game, Take a shot every time he says iconic

[@SillyOne1]

how about every time he strains his voice!

[@nickpropst4938]

I really like the double ride and dueling double bass in Avenged Sevenfold’s Almost Easy. If you get the chance to see The Rev’s demo he plays the bass pedals very loud. Long live The Rev. RIP.

I think the One groove came from a Dark Angel song, I'll have to look up which one... Someone had asked Gene Hoglan about it on Twitch so he elaborated on it

[@DethPopVideos]

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.

[@davematulessya7653]

Where the f# is Slayer?? For a drum 'expert' you missed that one dude... Slayer is part of the reasons for those drummers are succesfull now. Dave Lombardo....Master Jedi

[@WhyForWhatNow]

Not gonna lie "hot for teacher" I was like, bruh that's not needing a double kick, but then you added the bits and my lord, I think I gotta go listen now

[@Tat2Dragons]

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

[@Fleshcut]

Hate Eternal - Faceless One Next time you have Derek Roddy on, let him play that :D It's 4-pedal double bass stuff that is just amazing.

[@mathcoreable]

Amazing tribal intro 🤘🥁

[@bansuridev1809]

Ne Obliviscaris - And Plague Flowers the Kaleidoscope

[@dannybarichello1575]

For putting double bass on the map, for me it was Space Boogie by Jeff Beck with Simon Phillips on drums in 1980.

[@marsstubblefield]

the bridge of "Jerry Was A Race Car Driver"

[@dominikweber4305]

You mean jeree was a race cadraaaver

[@Fred_P]

Sorry, but the CFH groove is wrong. I just listened to it in amazing slow downer to confirm and it's definitely 4 32nd notes and not 16th note triplets.

[@jamesniven1687]

It’s borderline offensive that there’s no Motörhead in this video.

[@kudukilla]

Overkill was basically the blueprint for double bass

[@LOUDERthanU]

@@kudukilla yep, 1st one i heard way, way back

[@Just4CaliJames]

the beat from the Slipknot track, is actually a Tommy Aldridge Drum Intro to a classic old Black Oak song called Hot and nasty from the early 70's

[@cosmonauthal7651]

I would have also added Overkill by Motorhead on this list one of the pioneers of the double bass. Great List!

[@robertpien8708]

Virgil Donati Alien hip hop should definitely be mentioned very unique ployrythem over a 4/4 time Signature . Virgil is very good at Manipulating time

[@tripperDC85]

Technical you can't play "Hot For Teacher" without 4 bass drums

[@doodoofart6763]

Thats the intro, he's playing the beat.

[@patr1sck]

techically that part of the groove you can.

[@muenchhausenmusic]

Why?

[@soulintake]

You've misunderstood the word technical. You could technically play this song with one bass drum, a double pedal, a ride, a snare, an oriental trash, and a hi hat and a crash along with a simmons pad for the intro. Is that too technical? Lol

[@tripperDC85]

Let's see if I can explain this without butchering it. Alex wanted to imitate a certain sound from a particular Harley Davidson motorcycle engine. And the only way that was possible he needed to record 2 different timings on double bass then layered over each other to achieve that sound. I wasn't applying you can't play the WHOLE song with only double bass. Just the intro you can not

[@GoldenGateNum9]

*And he leaves out double bass pioneers Raymond Herrera and Gene Hoglan!?, that "iconic" One double bass part comes from Gene Hoglan from Dark Angel's Darkness Descends song by the way.*
