[@TheSteveo1374]

R.I.P. Joey Jordison 😭😭😭

[@TheSpartan238]

Is he flipping the sticks around while he’s playing? Either way he throws them like hammers. Edit: spelling

[@Randombikekid]

it looks like he has one thats normal (the one he was torpedo blasting with) and the other hes using the butt of the stick I don't know, thats just what i think and see.

[@intraterrestrial5035]

Yea, he's definitely alternating depending on where in the song he's at... Lurv it!

[@tjombom]

After years I finally found out that this "throwing hammer technique" (feels like whipping/lashing) really works just for everything: jazz, pop, rock, metal... everything. After all it's just all about to generate and to controll the power by throwing sticks, dynamics :-) Notice: every time you feel your hands getting slower and stressed by faster blasts you have to find the point where your hands are just comfortable/relaxed with a tempo you play.

[@nastychewy]

Nobody every talk about his footwork in demolisher. Seriously the way she just rips that shit is insane. And at the end every 4th snare he kicks his left foot out like he's doing it for more power. I highly look up to evengy he is such a killer player

As someone who used to drum (and DESPERATELY wants to get a set again!), I loved how far back the man brought his sticks for every stroke! So much power in every beat!

[@ZakkiLowe]

Morgan Rose used to hold his sticks that way, then his signature sticks were released and they are like that on both sides. Just some fun trivia.

[@andyk2607]

[@terunagagah]

[@sydisticsandman]

From my experience you'll bust your cymbals into bells faster but eh nothing compares to those metal Joey Jordison eveans sticks.... fucking straight cymbal killers.

[@wallyhavoc860]

@@sydisticsandman They're actually made by Ahead and they're not metal. It's an aluminum shaft that you slide a poly-graphite sleeve over and that's what hits your cymbals, and it allows you to customize your sticks with different tips, colors, sizes, etc. They're actually a lot better for your cymbals than wood sticks, and you only replace the sleeves at $4 a pop instead of $9-$15 for a new pair of sticks all together, not to mention $2 for just new tips if you need. Used to love playing with Ahead sticks, but I'm back on the Vic Firth 5A Barrel tip. I prefer the overall weight and length. But yeah. Ahead sticks are dope and I hope I was able to clear up any confusion with what the sticks are actually made from and how they actually are on your cymbals.

[@sydisticsandman]

@@wallyhavoc860 ah I see they're so freaking heavy i just assumed metal lol. But yeah vic firth were still my go to sticks. Think I was an A4 fan but been some years. And ehhhh as a drummer still learning if ya missed with the head oooooof where as at least the wooden ones would splinter and take the damage instead of the cymbal. But yeah I think it largely depends on your accuracy and technique. Still loved them. Hated the sleevs personally so I always took then off but hey some drums hold thier sticks backwards 😅 but wow Lotta info i didn't know or had forgotten

[@CrustaceanCraigory]

Evgeny and Spencer from Archspire are the two drummers who made me want to get a bell cymbal. I finally got one yesterday. It’s so fun!

[@MsJersy]

just when i thought Estepario was some of the fastest drumming I've ever seen, then there's this guy. Not only brutal speed but a lot of power and groove. No cheerleader twirls are refreshing for once. Leaves much more space for technique. The fact that he doesn't over use those brutal blast beats also and knowing when to hold back and push. So awesome

[@Madison.Cruz.ShooterTwo]

Katalepsy has amazingly good drum parts, way better than Slaughter to Prevail IMO.

[@BurnTheNuance]

I just wish they didn't over sample their playthroughs. Most notably in Slaughter. His older work is much more enjoyable imo (not that it amounts to much). That Demolisher (i think that's right) playthrough has some of the MOST over sampled snare parts I've ever heard. Slow his gravity down, all the hits sound like a Phil Collins song. Regardless of stick height. Dude is an amazing drummer, I would just like to be able to hear him, and not all the samples. Still one of my favorite drummers. His older videos on his channel are great. The older I get the more annoyed I get when I see drummers being praised for their "inhuman levels" of consistency when all you're hearing is a sample. I ain't gonna whine about cheating, but I would like to hear his playing more.
