Being a fast player (skate punk) I use the D-Beat as an energy saver live, it’s basically the same beat as the skate punk beat with less kick variations and easier on the wrist. I learned the skate punk beat first and thought to myself there’s gotta be a less tiring way to play this. I didn’t realize my “lazier” version was a D Beat till later 😆

I listen to a lot of different styles of punk and extreme metal. I know the fastest drummers in the world are death metal/grindcore drummers. But even though the bpms in crust/d-beat are never as high as those metal genres, those bands just don't feel as fast as d-beat bands. I remember the day I bought Tragedy's self-titled album. When the drums kicked in on "The Point of No Return" I was just in awe at how fast it sounded. It's the rhythm of a horse sprinting. I was drummer in my younger days and even though I knew what Paul Burdette was doing, it still sounded so chaotic and organic. I love grind and death metal but there's a machine-like quality to the drumming that keeps it from feeling fast. There's a lack of momentum. Anyway, great vid. Btw: if you get into running, careful listening to d-beat while running. Almost died subconsciously trying to run with the momentum of those songs.

@nikmarshall29892 жыл бұрын
@@SpikeTSmith people often refer to the popular heel-toe/slide punk beat (1&2e& 3&4e&) as as a d-beat. It could be a misnomer though. It’s the beat the Nofx’s smelly often uses (although I believe they refer to it as just the punk beat/the smelly when being used simultaneously to his iconic jerky high hat pattern) the two rhythms are very similar and I think you could argue that it’s derivative of the D-beat, it’s application is also very similar. I think the term kind of started to bleed into the broader punk beat catalog where you’ll often hear a back and forth between a D beat and other variations of the bass drum pattern.

Would love your opinion on this since you really got that beat down. Some, myself included, believe the d-beat is technically a four against three polyrhythm with the kick going 3/4 triplets against 4/4 from the snare. That‘s why following the kick pattern on the cymbals makes it easier to not drop out of the triplet feel. Sloppily playing the kick on 2and and 3and kinda gets you there somehow but by handling it as a poly it even sounds right if you program it in audio software. Nonsense?

I don’t think that’s what the originators were thinking when they come up with their interpretation of the pattern really, as both John of Buzzcocks & Tezz of Discharge had only been playing a matter of weeks when they both independently of each other came up with their own versions of this pattern. I can’t see how it can be seen as a 3/4 as the bass notes aren’t 3 equal notes apart either. Interesting thought though.

@@SpikeTSmith Thanks for the reply! Sure none of the originators thought of it that way but it‘s fascinating that even some competent technical drummers struggle to get that raw feeling and swing of this beat.

This is a particular sore point with me. Many, many guitarists play a "cheat beat" strum along with a D beat, essentially playing every other beat because it's easier. The best method is to strum directly with the kick drum, creating a wall of power. When you've got this down you'll find you can even slightly play ahead or behind the beat also, to give a subtle texture as the song needs it . It's thrilling when everyone is on it, like surfing a huge wave.

Okay question: is my YT broken or my metronome because counting 4s and thusly 2s and 4s, my metronome shows the first full example in discharge tempo as being around 220 instead of 150?
@SpikeTSmith Жыл бұрын
The true quarter note tempo would be more around the 300bpm mark, but at 150bpm the metronome should land on the 1 and 3 of of the beat emphasising the half note. I hope that helps?

@@SpikeTSmith yes Spike thank you I just had trouble following in my head at current speeds. I forced myself to slow down and very incrementally increasing the tempo. So I could stop thinking and just let my arms and legs do it. Then it clicked in my head and now I am up to 155 and trying to get faster. Thank you very much mate! I love the beat and can't wait to be able to play along with Tragedy and His Hero Is Gone (some training on rolls on the toms needed though haha)

My body wont understand the right hand pattern. Would have been nice if you have made an example in like 50bpm or something real slowly to play along and make the muscle memory. For example my right foot is doing a pretty good double stroke on the X-and. But my muscle memory blocks the and-X double stroke.
@SpikeTSmith Жыл бұрын
You can’t understand it on the version I demonstrate at 100bpm? It’s pretty clear.. If you need to slow it down tho, you can do that on you tube. Simply select the video speed & decrease by 0.05. If this doesn’t work for you, feel free to book an online lesson with me. 😉
