@@Spiritcr1jsher How isn’t he under rated? He isn’t well known or ever talked about in the spotlight. To each their own but I think Blake is tremendously unique. He’s always so busy and creative . Typically when a drummer is constantly busy it’s more of a selfish showmanish. But with Blake it’s not, he serves the chaotic music in BTBAM perfectly. He’s mastered the polymeter, ghost notes, speed, creativity, and all the while crossing between different genres like polka, jazz, metalcore, swing, thrash, prog. Most of their albums were in his mid 20s as well. If that isn’t anything special or unique then please show me another Blake Richardson.
@wesleytrott63973 жыл бұрын
I saw Blake at a clinic and my drummer friend noticed that Blake leads with his left food. My friend asked Blake during the Q&A why he leads with his left food. He said he got in the habit early on because he read sheet music left to right, so in his mind, left foot first. After years of playing that way, it just stuck.

Blake and Gavin Harrison are probably my two biggest influences right now. Incredibly talented, hard-working, and their ability to write such well-orchestrated parts is really inspirational. Interestingly little side note, I'm sure I recall reading somewhere that Blake leads left-foot a lot because when he was learning to play double bass, in his mind you started with the left foot because it's written left to right - not sure how true that is but it's what I've heard :)
