Nice to see some metal from Emma

[@Coastfog]

To me, the most basic blast beat was always an inverted version, simply switching kick and snare, compared to Emma's groove. But thank goodness, there's many ways to blast. 💪

[@jordanleyva9320]

That’s a hammer blast

[@zb695]

What helps to get it right and tight and also frees up the right hand for cool little patterns, is to practice the alternating kick+Snare bit •without• the leading right hand as well. That was what really dialed it in for me

[@mikeroch7813]

Yes!! Please more fun metal stuff from Emma!! Also stuff like Avenged Sevenfold have a fun mix of punk and jazz etc. as well!

[@antonbagel]

Yay avenged sevenfold

[@LeetTron5000]

Judging by this she doesn't seem overly interested in this kind of drumming lol. Nowhere near as positive as she is in other vids.

[@mikeroch7813]

@@LeetTron5000 Virtually no one is very positive when they run into something they are less confident in

Love your hair teacher

[@skipvandenbergh8666]

Thanks. I had a blast

[@brassmonkey9557]

Old skool blast!

[@Mr-Foad]

Great stuff Emma, another way to look at it is 8ths on the feet with a 16th roll on the hands. Good way to practice is to not use the cymbal and just play the 16ths on the snare with the aim to split this between snare and cymbal eventually. Blasts are strange at first fo the brain and body to learn.

[@thedrummingminstrel8906]

Another fun variation on a blast beat is hi-hat + snare + kick on every 8th note and another kick inbetween each. Always sounds way harder than it is, so that's a good one to learn lol

[@TheMerryPup]

What sticks do you use?

[@solarwinds5114]

Yurrrr

[@magicalmixer5453]

I persobally think a unison blast beat would be easier, but good to see some beginner metal on here.

[@joshoconnor5005]

Now play the mist metal song ever please

[@mattdickie4696]

What's mist metal? Just when I thought I had a handle on metal....

[@GooningAddict69]

Had no idea she could blast

[@lostinmusic2866]

I recommend practicing this with the song Attack from System Of A Down.

[@Petch85]

Is this beat called blast beat, or are blast beats a group of beats?

[@OneStxpCloser]

this is one blast beat, there are a lot of different ones!

[@Petch85]

@@OneStxpCloser well now I want more blast beats, that sounds fun. 😂

[@jensenhawkins2168]

There’s two ways in my eyes This one and RRRR RRRR RRRR RRRR LLLL LLLL LLLL LLLL KKKK KKKK KKKK KKKK

[@scottycranwell283]

The second one is the TRUE blast beat.

[@Mr-Foad]

Hammer blast !

[@tylerbailey9329]

No one told me playing technical death metal would be so hard 😭

[@rupe82]

"Technical" Death metal. There's a clue in the name lol

[@michaelevans9881]

You left out the part where you start off with the bass drum then the hi-hat and then the snare and then the crash... Explaining this is very simple to a heavy metal drummer..

[@Ravenholm337]

0:18 this woke up my Latino side..

[@graememcdonald1547]

Lightning fast Polkas'

[@SilverPrince_]

"SEX!" -666Samus after several seconds of blast beats 😆

[@td-12kx53]

Blast beats are the most non-musical drum groove! I enjoy many styles of music but I am afraid I have no appreciation for music that is carried by a blast beat. But, that's just me!😂

[@hectormarquez5948]

please with musical notes 🙏 to understand better.

[@DaveFromVh1]

Boooo! 👎
