Cattle Decapitation - Dead Set on Suicide Drum Cover by David Diepold

[@randallparris7220]

I'm as equally fascinated by his perfect posture as I am with his drum skills.

[@shaunarnold691]

Randall Parris I agree with that. He moves to every drum effortlessly. He Is the best I've seen so far.

[@justinmason100]

Randall Parris yeah he definitely has his kit set up for his needs.

[@MadiUk77]

he's making sure to be able to do this in the years to come - you sit wrongly - you strain your back or some other parts of your body. Posture is fundamental for sustaining stamina imo.

[@L0CV5T]

Yes

[@taunokekkonen5733]

It's a necessity really, if you want to move as he does and still keep any speed up for more than 3 seconds.

[@leebravin6403]

I love the hand switching during the blasting.

[@MK-oz2lf]

Do drummers do that to avoid quick fatigue on one arm on gravity blasts?

[@aatamisyren4747]

@@MK-oz2lf i thinks it's called a switch blast or something. gravity blast is when you hit the rim of the drum to get two hits with just one movement

[@Koffling]

@@MK-oz2lf I don't think fatigue is a huge factor in his extremely technical style. I think he switches according to which cymbals he wants to hit.

[@herpderpinson6117]

mooncountry1017 they do it when blast beats are faster than 270 ish bpm, because after that point it becomes impossible to sustain 8th notes with a single hand the whole time

[@Unknownusername1004]

@@MK-oz2lf it's done at extreme speeds to keep the snare consistent in traditional blasts that use either half note or quarter note cymbal pulses once you're over 260 bpm. In a live setting it also looks flashy while conserving energy. There's also the Dirk blast that can be used as well if you take away the accented notes with usually in it and only use cymbals every 4 snare hits. Spencer from archspire uses it a lot

[@taunokekkonen5733]

What an age to be alive, where we have not only the original drummer playing stuff like this, but having talented enough people to do covers as well.

Hell yea, when El Estepario has no idea how he plays drums the way he does you know you've found something special.

David was there well before estapario came on the scene

[@katrinapaton5283]

@@darrenbooker8144 Its a half descent commentary on how it doesnt matter how good you are if you cant sell yourself. El Estepario has charisma coming out his ass. David might have but we'll never know and thats why one has millions of followers and the other doesn't. Talent alone wont get you there.

@@darrenbooker8144 Fair enough. Yet I‘m here because of him and he highly recommended David.

Coming back around to watch this again. Still mind-blowing and you're even crazier than this now/lately. Great content!

[@CoCoKwispy]

My favorite thing in the world about you is that you don't use drum triggers and we get to hear that beautiful natural resonance of the drums, you are an absolute master at your craft

[@samurejo3291]

i think he do use triggers cuz his kicks sounds the same all the time

[@fountane]

Kick is definitely triggered.

[@CoCoKwispy]

Oh definitely but playing that fast without it sounding crushed is pretty damn hard, also no tuning required making it easier on him since he uses two basses, but the snare and toms are just jizztacular

[@samurejo3291]

only triggered thing in that set is kicks but toms and snare sounds good without triggers

[@rickhxc]

why is there on every metal drum video a discussion about triggers ? omg

[@rapscallion52]

that was awesome. I've been out of touch with cattle decapitation for a while, those semi-clean vocals took me by surprise. I love your variation on the swivel with the feet (whether on purpose or not). the slow back and forth from side to side, to spread the work between different muscles, makes way more sense than putting so much energy into the side to side motion.

[@hatchettothehead]

Get back in touch with them, mate. They are better than they have ever been!

Switching hands during the blasts every few bars is very smart at those speeds. Gives each hand time to recover from the hard work.

[@Rgidhkfel]

The Bass Drum beats are so fast they seem to be producing a frequency which should equal a note. Does anybody know what frequency the feet are going? From there we should be able to figure what note it is producing being that 440HZ equals an "A"

[@benjaminjoplin4991]

Maybe about 40 times a second so 40Hz would equal a very low E.

[@mikemonner9689]

That's pretty amazing. It makes you wonder if they make bass drum pedals that are either very light or the beater is very close to the skin of the bass drum that allows you to make quick beats.

[@musicdevil22]

they're actually heavier most of the time, because you get more power out of it and you don't have to put work in getting it up again. And you need to keep the beaters close yourself, because they are usually at mid-distance from the drum
