Tim Yeung Master Class - Drum techniques

Tim Yeung of DIVINE HERESY shows you the drum beats off the song "Failed Creation" from the new album Bleed The Fifth.
Filmed by Dino, Michael & John. Demon Video 2007

[@sabinaneofotistos1361]

Monster Drummer!!!!!!! The Synergy with Dino is uncanny!!!!!

[@BUKOSPOOKO]

I've been drumming for about 6 or 7 years now, and I just discovered this band when they played a show with Chimaira and All That Remains where I live earlier this week. I really like this guy. I really appreciate how clean he can keep everything at that speed. Guy's chops are admirable, and he's got endurance too. He sounded just as sweet live as on the recording. If you get a chance to see DH live, do it. They were a pleasant surprise.

[@MDthirteen42]

Thanks for posting this Tim. I am a big fan of your drumming. I can't wait to hear what you do in the future.

[@w0024986]

You know it is something extraordinary when it sounds just as good at half pace \m/

[@skinfelloff]

I could listen to that drumming all day. Wow.

[@PhatPhunk]

TIM YEUNG!!! WOOOOOOOOOO! THanks for sharing some of your beats here.. You RAWK! Peace.

[@uniteduniverse]

It is the drumming that takes this album to the next level, although surely a collective effort. ...Tim, you are probably the first drummer since Sandoval to really "bring it" to a studio album, and before him Lombardo... So keep up the excellent work. I wish you the best with your career...

[@MykroMusic]

One of my new favorite drummers to watch

[@majorlee1]

Wow I’m getting old. Did it say MySpace in the beginning? Haha still watching this..

[@sevenman9672]

Definitely from the MySpace era and the vocals on the album remind me of the era too.

[@altgrade]

you are absolutely right!tim jeung is a hybrid!best description!

[@NecroKev]

tim YOU FUCKING OWN ! haha divine heresy was a KICK IN THE FACE when I heard your drumming really intense, and I could listenm to these beats for YEARS ! and never get tired ! ahha

[@raokin466]

awesome blast beats

[@xRemmy]

Dude u are sweet i am a life long fan of divine hersey trust me i am and i wat to play the drums now u inspried me to do so thanks man :)

[@exconguitar]

100% agree with you there. It's rare to see a marching drummer who can let loose on a kit.

[@jtdrummerboy]

wow O.o the way his hands seem to floating whilst doing the fills are godly

[@CommanderSuberox]

thats exactly what i thought mate this band is amazing the drummer is just unbelieveably fast and just aweosme. awesome band!

[@macfan9000]

wow. Thats an awesome way to fight back. Tim Yeung is really advanced in music theory and how he incorporates it with dino I think is just amazing ( I say he is advanced in music theory because of his timing with the guitar and knowing when to match his beats with dino's struming)

[@SuperUltra]

Yeah I meant Shannon Lucas... because you told us to check him out. You should check out Gil Sharone. Dillinger Escape Plan's new drummer. His reggae grooves are insanely cool.

[@deathkrutcher]

It's crazy how even in slow speed is too damn fast goddamn! xD

[@cmpinto81]

O Tim consegue surpreender. Ele usa pedais (Axis).... são formidáveis para batidas rápidas.

[@sebbef]

That was awesome!

[@Vahmpy]

I really prefer your acoustic/natural sound over the triggered stuff. It sounds so much more killer! :) Thanks for those slower paces as well. Rock on!!!

[@NellyPO]

amazing mate

[@factory]

tim could u make more vids man/. its awsome

[@yoe91]

FUCKIN AWESOME. I knew Yeung of course was excessively fast and clean, but I never noticed while listening to the record track how that middle part is so fkn groovy. Smart stuff, loooooooove that type of drumming man. Nails it !

[@1awsomdude]

Tim and Inferno from behemoth are MY ALL TIME FAV DRUMMERS EVER!!

[@Snortemup]

Tim and Dino are so fucking amazing together. I can't wait to see what they write in the future if the first album is as good as it is.

[@ChrisAdlerWannaBe]

i know hes one of the best drummers out there hes amazing

[@MrReeeeev]

i love this dude

[@666111]

@umcsk8 it is call "muting the symbal with your fingers" hope I helped :)

[@factory]

hey tim great work could u make more vids

[@smithn151]

Your drumming is incredible, sick master class too. Same with Dino, fucking sick. I try to play it but its pretty hard, genious.

[@IrishPablo94]

seen your kit on the sabain set up builder

[@mirosotoz]

OMFGZ his hands b going nutty haha awesome vid.. =D

[@anthonyballard73]

He is absolutly amazing

[@eddieman45248]

Check out Neil's hands in some songs, YYZ for example. Some of the runs he does are not flam rolls but actual rolls where he fits something like 5 counts into 4. Neil is probably by no means as fast as some drummers out there on the double kick but he is the one who brought drumming really to the forefront. Ask Tim who his influences are & I bet Neil is one of them. For the record, I was just introduced to this guy very recently and while speed/death metal isn't my cup of tea, he's really good.

[@skillnub70]

@fendershredder514 He Swivels. You can tell by the way he moves his legs, plus there's a video somewhere where there's a little clip of him swivelling.

[@dhaav]

I'd like too see him playing some songs from Agiel, as I didn't see nothing from them until today. In my opinion, it's his best work.

[@SillyViking1]

I'm on a good way to play all of these drum beats in this video. All that I am having problems with gotta be blast beats and those fills

[@freakshow112233]

@Rustyshackleford08 well he did say at a slower pace, not specifically what he would consider slow.

[@JasonPurcell2218]

when he plays the middle section slowly its sounds so funky

[@macfan9000]

I like how he plays his "middle section" of Failed Creation. ROCK ON!!!

[@viniebobareeno]

2:31 - 2:48... Best rhythm ever. Notice how constant/fast his double kicks are in this time! Very talented

[@splinh]

For me he is Beetween one of the best drummers... ;D I like the way he plays, he's speed is amazing o0

[@ChaosinaJar]

its times like these where i wish i started drumming when i was 3 .... then i might be half as good as that ...

[@Snortemup]

@lukevertiis The bands you listed you use double bass as well. I agree it's not the most important thing in making a drummer good or bad but without it Metal wouldn't be the same.

[@Chuloloc]

Awesome. Tim rules.

[@oxblood]

Wow thats amazing

[@Sxionix]

This is great.

[@FramingArmageddonIE]

Tim Yueng is insane I one day hope to play all of Failed Creation without crashing from exhausten right in the middle of it...

[@megatron210777]

@sixxteddy dude i guess i was wrong. he does pretty awesome stuff. i had never heard bringer of plagues, thanks for telling me.

[@Manzo27]

Tim Yeung and Divine Heresy are great. It sucks that Tommy left.

[@threecheerer]

how does he get the tone on his bass drums? they sound so cool!

[@MetalMasterMind666]

He was in All That Remains for a while as a session drummer :)

[@jcbel]

I concur - check out the jam sessions with Dino and you can hear how fast and precise he is actually playing...

[@quackbeef]

he uses evans drumheads (now), axis pedals, and dw hardware. as far as getting a fit to sound "metal" 2ply heads are great and a double bass setup is best. if you have a double pedal, you get a lot of slapback from the head and you get lag in the slave (left) pedal.

[@sixxteddy]

@VidSKeos good eye, i nearley missed that and i almost pissed myself when i saw it i swear i laughed for eight and a half minuites and replayed it thirty something times

[@worthlessprotoplasm1230]

The pre-chorus slow speed sounds so sick.

[@filitalian]

he looks relaxed through the whole thing thats what gets me.

[@Nightmare1066]

3:25 How does he do that sound in the background and also whats is called? It sounds like someone is firing out of a silent sub machine gun, I always thought that sound was awesome. I was amazed when I heard it for the first time off some other band.

[@19DrumFreak89]

He's not human. Hybrids are built, not born. I always say there are no best musicians because everyone has their own particular style but if there is anything this machine can't play i want to know. He's insane, if your half as good as him your still the best.

[@niklasp93]

I love his ride cymbal

[@MrSmr2010]

Best drummer in metal!

[@w9jon]

@atrbdm9 i wouldnt say so. This is just an explanation of a track. A masterclass is much more than this and entails the asking and answering of questions from audience to the drummer

[@needlessdestruction]

the last one rocks. even at slow speed its still cool

[@Erxjo8]

can anyone give me a link to a video with Tim Yeung in the Worlds Fastest Drum competition. I watched it before, and now cant seem to find it again. Thanks.

[@angrygoldfish]

I find stuff like this sounds just as good, or better, if it's slower. You can hear everything more clearly, and thus more emotional and powerfully.

[@maximelecool]

awesome!

[@usernaameunavailable]

man! look at his arm when he blasts :D it grows xD looks AWESOME !!

[@exconguitar]

sweet! My appologies for not clarifying. I played for the Concord Bluedevils (a LOOONG time ago lol) I was basing my comment from a professional drumliner's point of view, not from ametuer .

[@carmendotnet6805]

He's really talented, you should see him drum.

[@SoundBarrierEntertainment]

In the regular time does anyone know if he double each kick like a roll. not single kick

[@eliminshrintar]

No. He uses the swivel technique with his feet on the fast double bass parts. It's a lot of notes but still considered single strokes.

[@IRIErandy]

that second beat is dope!

[@Zarkania7]

Great!!!! And to think I wanted to get into drumming. I'm soooo not in the right shape anymore.:(((

[@SuperUltra]

From what he's playing here, his half open is on the left... the one on the far right sounds closed.

[@blight4hire]

hmm what about the hand work? the blast beats and all. is the blasts in 16 notes?

[@cccowabungadudesss]

looking forward to morbid angels new album...

[@YangShengVT]

@CentRapper Is it Rock Reeves ore Keanu The Rock then?

[@RG7621]

I've only been playing drums for 5 months and I want to know, is it possible to play double bass pedals heel up just as fast as the heel up/heel down technique?

[@FoxtrotXero]

@Spooke714 What do you mean?

[@DimebagD19]

I just met this guy the other day. I'm not even a drummer and I still felt like I was in the presence of a god. He's really short too, haha.

[@ChrisAdlerWannaBe]

sweet drumming

[@Manzo27]

what part of his technique don't you like?

[@excelsistenz]

Which is good, joey of slipknot or him???

[@Jimii89]

Triggers sound a little uneven in certain areas...its ridiculous how good this guy is. Cool Vid

[@brainsik2299]

I believe he does NOT use triggers... I've met him, and buddy of mine grew up with him. He's F$#KING fast!

[@Jimii89]

Brainsik bro he clearly is using triggers. no doubt he is definitely fast!

[@brainsik2299]

James McGowan I watched him @ House of Guitars, here in Rochester, NY... He uses a side swipe motion, no shoes, just tips of feet. I didn't see set-up, so can't say for sure... But, a friend of mine grew up with him, said once that he doesn't believe he uses them, but only Tim could say for sure. I personally would love to here him tear it up "swing" style. The Morbid Angel track "Radikult" shows a varied style, and gets close. I personally like Jazz up to Metal. Those drummers paved the way... Historically!

[@thewarlock192]

Brainsik I'm sorry to dissapoint, but Tim use triggers. The Axis pedals have the trigger integrated in the pedal ;)

[@brainsik2299]

Really? I've watched him play and he is extremely fast... That's kind of a disappointment, but thanks for the info. I'ld rather be corrected than give out bad info.

[@Rockoholic8]

@diablo523 dont sweat it, just keep pushing urself and u'll get it eventually.

[@drummerxguy]

One of my favorite drummers!! hes the man! Fucking kickass!

[@TobyKBTY]

crazy drummer,....man!!!

[@joergehrmann]

is he playing double strokes on the bass drum while hes playing the fast section? his feet don't move very fast!

[@sparky20100]

what do you mean? what are count-ins? it sounds slowed down, although there are some parts that don't match in tempo.. relatively..

[@glacier2win]

Listen to Hannes Grossmann, he's a death metal drummer and his drum fills are amazing and not always metal oriented. George Kollias is insanely fast, yes, but he can play more than just death metal and does a great job at it.

[@Cyperwaste]

That was great :)

[@longyp]

Dude, you got skills...

[@kichermann]

that Pre-Chorus is he using heel toe or is it just looking as if?

[@weirdalyankosin]

@AwesomeDrummerGuy ... Drumming is all in the wrist man...

[@toby8stores]

Are thoses sticks renforced

[@Zarkania7]

Well I tried one litte bit and it was hard. He makes it look so easy! hehe

[@fritz578]

anybody know if theres a video on how to hold the stick at 0:31 ? i can find it.....

[@FilthyLunatic]

tim yeung 4 life!!

[@lawrencen7637]

very consistent

[@AsurorusA]

he's good on accuracy / normal or slow
