Best Blasts, Worst Name? (Derek Roddy Reaction)

[@DerekRoddyDrummer]

Hahaha Cheers Craig. 🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼

[@DerekRoddyDrummer]

Also do some research into the “project” (not really a band) And you’ll see why BandWhore is the perfect name. Haha. It’s going to be a massive release. 🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼

[@reynlord666]

You are the GOAT and always will be. Forever grateful for your advice early in my career!

[@DerekRoddyDrummer]

Anytime brother. 🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼

[@Tyrant_King666]

were ya at we waitin over on twitch bro lol

[@MikeCaputo]

The reason the band is called Bandwhore is because there's gonna be like 60 different musicians involved in the project. Also Derek is THE MAN. Both his forum, and George Kollias' were the best back in the day. I miss those days

[@adammoore5605]

Love seeing you here lol

[@reynlord666]

Ohhh that makes sense, cool!

[@brandonwalley379]

Yooo mike!

[@deetschris1]

Those forums were so sick. That’s when I found out about George’s 16 week double Bass program

[@ilyatabachnikmusic]

Another

[@paulj.mcbride7981]

I Played bass on a couple tracks on this project. So many talented players involved, hence the name "bandwhore". Cheers from NC🤘🍻

[@i.r.drummer]

The better question is, if he’s still playing this way at his age, why can’t Lars properly play Dyers Eve. Also, new David Diepold: Obscura video out and new Chris Turner video, both of which you’re probably aware of, but…yeah. Best drummer reactor, btw. Too many people try too hard.

[@reynlord666]

Appreciate the kind words. Chris turner is in the drafts baby

[@FigNeutered]

@@reynlord666 Fuck yeah 😎

[@DerekRoddyDrummer]

Buddy Rich was smokin most of us at 70. Haha.

[@abefroman_sausagemane]

Derek is and always will be the best. I bought Nile's "Black Seeds of Vengeance" in like, the 6th grade and had never heard anything like it. I had no clue about drumming and my tiny prebuscent brain imagined that he had to record every individual drum separately. I remember when those early Hate Eternal cams came out I'd skip class to go to the library to watch them. Thanks Derek, glad you're still killing it!

[@SANDWICHJONES]

I remember seeing Hate Eternal videos back when KZbin really got moving and it was absolutely a mindfuck to see Roddy just yeet the shit out of those drum parts casual Friday like.

[@EvanLikesDrums]

Fantastic call back to the Some Kind Of Monster documentary. So glad you noticed the t shirt!

[@spasehorse8524]

The first time I got angrily aroused by music and didn't know what to do besides punch a 5 gallon bucket of paint was when I heard Hate Eternal for the first time.

[@TheSentinel909]

Derek is the man, i remember burning cds for a friend with his lessons... also thanks for the content man, really appreciate it

[@slidethedoss239]

He literally rehearses in a room filled with snakes

[@lordmarco]

The most Based band on the planet. Over 60 different drummers in 1 band

[@J3ffdrums]

Derek Roddy is king

[@unkind78]

king of all kings

[@zombiesateourchannel]

@@unkind78 You sir, were 23 minutes faster than I was. I pull my hat.

[@unkind78]

@@zombiesateourchannel Craig was faster, he mentions the title in the video ; )

[@zombiesateourchannel]

@@unkind78 I know, that's why I consider it a hilarious reply.

[@ilyatabachnikmusic]

Another amazing view Craig thank you. I also love Derek and why I love his I love his style of playing because is blast are really hearable especially left-hand which is the biggest issue for most of the drummers. He definitely has this amazing sound because he plays with only his wrists

[@x-Gingerbeard-x]

Derek Roddy is the shit!! Also, I will keep recommending James Stewart dude! He's natty af too! And something totally different, but Deafheaven's drummer, Daniel Tracy is an absolute beast too with insane stamina! OH, and Mike fuckin' Smith from Suffocation was also ridiculously good back in the day!

[@jacobwilson7030]

I think Derek, Pete Sandoval and George Kolias have the best claim to best blasters ever

[@jessebowles5632]

Longstreth 🤘

[@jackdevanney1193]

Best DM drummers in general

[@staleycameron]

The tempo changes in this song make me so happy, like twitch of the death nerve, if you havent checked them out you are missing out!!!

[@dracdrum]

Derek also has an amazing collection of Black Head Pythons. Cool guy.

[@Gnomosfortheoffice]

It's interesting to see how Derek's left arm always seems to be kinda tense when blasting, but his power and consistency are unmatched.

[@DerekRoddyDrummer]

Tension is where the “sound” is. No tension, no sound…. It’s a balance.

[@DerekRoddyDrummer]

And thank you 🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼

[@robdobble6672]

@@DerekRoddyDrummer holy shit it’s derek roddy

[@Gnomosfortheoffice]

@@DerekRoddyDrummer Wow, thank you Derek for explaining and taking the time to respond to comments! Now I remember what you told on Drumeo about putting your index finger on top of the stick to get a higher pitched snare sound. That Drumeo lesson has really benefited me in developing an effective practice regime by setting time limits for every excercise (something you told the audience). Massive thank you for the inspiration and everything you have done for extreme metal drumming. Looking forward to hear more Bandwhore stuff🤘

[@DerekRoddyDrummer]

Thanks so much Julien. Means a lot. 🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼

[@supreethkurthukoti9851]

Derek Roddy, the OG! That shirt he is wearing though, damn....

[@brennanchaudhry8925]

Derek Roddy has the claim to the greatest blast beat ever imo, about to minutes into The Victorious Reign by Hate Eternal he plays a genuinely breathtaking blast where he adds in a rimshot that totally changes the complexion of the song. Such an incredible drummer.

[@ExecutionSommaire]

To me his blast beats always sounded more "in your face" than any other drummer, however fast and technical they be

[@D2ezbmu]

hate eternal- behold judas... thats the fucking song to react to. Derek has been a monster god in death metal drumming for like 25 years. One take... the legend.

[@arminheydari425]

Even though all the goats have been mentioned, I still think the true blast apex is Hannes Grossmann. I mean just look at those old ass Necrophagist videos. Also around the same time, these were truly the goats haha

[@ostravia]

Death Metal is very much alive.

[@cannabyssbois2305]

Homie doing the solo has a defeated sanity shirt....only solidifies how good this band is LOL a react to a drumplaythrough of them would be nice

[@heyimgoingtoplaysomegames]

Lille Gruber is fucking amazing. Ridiculously good drummer AND guitarist.

[@Gregory333-z3u]

I remember finding out about you from derek's old forum. good days.

[@bluerblue4068]

I was lucky enough to see hate eternal live in the early 2000's in Perth, Western Australia they ripped hard and I remember the venue was double booked with an electronic gig so they were denied an encore, on the way out there was some very angry and unimpressed metal heads taking it out on furniture glass doors and so on...the good old days 🤘

[@rogersantallusia7873]

I remember Derek saying you, Craig, were one of the best drummers in the forum! :)

[@thanebear]

Had it right the first time. Octopuses

[@xelproctox]

Not gonna lie, the Serpent Ride actually sounds wild when crashed in comparison to how heavy it is 👀

[@RigorMortisItrium]

Craig, you heard of Serpents Rise - Dereks side project?

[@ChrisDorrmusic]

I have that same DW acrylic kit, but for some reason, I don't sound exactly like Dereck Roddy. I'm gonna call DW customer service.

[@FedericoSala]

You should check out Fotis Benardo or some Ben Harclerode stuff..both nutty

[@staleycameron]

Need to check out SAOR! Their live performance in lockdown was amazing! Natty as baws!

[@thrashinwebster]

I would never ever see a band called BandWhore and go “oh yeah i should check that out” but it rips and i agree

[@TheBeardsShow]

Horrendous name. Such a shame as they rip.

[@markcooperartcomofficial]

That's not a metal thing to say.

[@TheBeardsShow]

@@markcooperartcomofficial maybe so man. But the whole Machismo thing in metal is so tired and stale. You like what you like and I can see tons of folks loving this band but the name puts me off a bit.

[@zandiskoul]

LoL

[@StIdes811]

All the new ‘popular’ death metal bands are terrible. It’s either super duper technical death core plastic sounding ish type stuff or the really bad bands with no chops trying to rip off bolt thrower and obituary stuff because they can’t play fast at all really or barely. The days of prime hate eternal are long gone.

[@llsticksll]

Best blaster who ever lived? but what about George Kollias?

[@zombiesateourchannel]

Too sterile for me.

[@lolokokogogo45]

I like Roddy Ricch
