[@mondragon9282]

"Practicing a song over and over will make us better at it" is a big one for me. My band has written a couple songs where I have things in there that make me go "why did I put this in here? I get it right like half the time" lol. I keep working at em, though!

[@nyobunknown6983]

[@radoslavdragnev8797]

Chris Turner is truly a gem. Probably the most underrated drummer of metal. I don't particularly like Oceans Ate Alaska because it's too extreme , but the drumming is commendable to say the least

[@ShiprockedDave]

Whenever I am having a bad day, all I have to do is put on the video of the death metal hell cat and I am instantly in a better mood. I laugh every time I see that plush cat tear a hole in the sky. The best part is the lady clapping along like this is exactly what every children's song should sound like. It is so good. Thank you for including it. It gave me a laugh on a post holiday Monday.

[@moelester5955]

It's actually an apple, possessed by the spirit of a cat... and yes, Japan do be like that. Nyango Star's the name, slaying drum is the game.

[@DelPinoDrummer]

[@CoryPlaysDrums]

[@Uncreative789]

10:09 I absolutely agree with your point, but Bleed isn’t really harder with one hand. Also it sounds worse cause you don’t get the snare+hi hat hit. But playing the song faster, slower or adding new fills, polyrhythms, ghostnotes, playing things with single pedal instead of double pedal is a good thing to do.

[@gijs4824]

Looking forward to part+ with e.g.: Spencer Prewett - Archspire / Francesco Paoli - Fleshgod Apocolipse / Aaron Kitcher - Infant Annihilator

[@Lex1uth3r]

Lot of incredibly talented musicians here. I still remember the insane solo Travis did while on tour with Blink 182 at Allentown, PA like 20 years ago, waited hours to get that spot in the front row and it was totally worth it.

0:38 you don't need gear but in that case you need a quntize button (this shit was comfired fake years ago)

[@TheCokee47]

Gabe, you forgot to mention that Evgeny plays with his sticks reversed. So those gravity blasts he's hitting are actually with the fat part of the sticks, not to tips. Crazy

[@abyssalspecter93]

I love how so many people in the drum scene including a few in this video got absolutely exposed for faking some of their playthroughs.

[@ReynAmon-t7i]

@7:25 Same, I for sure get goosebumps from insanely fast double kick sometimes

[@Whiskers74]

I was surprised Evgeny Novikov (2:55) from Slaughter To Prevail didn't get a mention for either power, or foot speed though. I would place them both above his gravity blasts.

[@leombele9310]

The only thing I don't understand about this master class is how come only a certain amount of people are allowed to sign up.

may be to late but what is the background song on 11:04 ?

In riccardo training video. He explains how he uses his biceps and wrist to move the stick. The fingers are just a guide

[@TrymYoutubeMainChannel]

7:50 what about accuracy isn't that important to ... to where you hit on the drum pad ( in order to get different tones / sounds)

[@BrandonBartlingDrums]

Those huge drums sticks are so crazy. I'd have to imagine it would feel like taking the weights/donut off a bat barrel after playing with them for a minute hahaha

[@LukeTang-t8l]

Btw Riccardo Merlini actually has his own technique that involves twisting the wrist

[@Kievitzi]

My friend who is a kickboxer, once said "speed is power and power is speed", strenght. Were talking about a leg traveling with the speed and power (force) to break bones and turn your intestines into mush. Basic physics, the laws of motion. Everything is about technique, master that and you can have both speed and power in your control.

[@baiacudriver]

Wait, wut?

[@KostasHolopain]

@ 5:40 That! In the previous century, I was helping out a band on the drums and during a live performance, the intoxicated AF singer tripped and fell on the drumset!

Bass drum pedals do make a great difference. I was using a generic Sonor single bass pedal for about 15 years, when I purchased the Jojo Mayer pedal, my doubles and triplets on were insanely faster, smooth as butter.

[@fabril2673]

The video is edited tbf. He’s from the band Infant Annihilator and they use drum machines in their songs. The drummer has done some playthroughs but aside of that they never play live, and those are sped up videos of him drumming with the official audio tracks put over

[@otownhardcore]

@@fabril2673 Having trouble following what your saying. Its a bunch of run on sentences and I'm a guitar player. But I think you are backing up my point by saying they never play live, they use drum machines and the audio of this video was edited? Sounds like Tom foolery to me

[@LogicalQ]

It’s also worth pointing out triggers vs no triggers

[@Dano420]

EXACTLY!! Triggers make the speed with an echo on the retrigger

I was constantly waiting for those fastest drummers during the watch. You missed the title? Where Is Dominator Fjaellstrom, where is Darkside, wher's Danny? Omg.

[@E-1K]

Never enough time for all of them. Gene Hogland taught himself how to play double bass just by doing the hypothetical footwork with one of his feet on the hi hat. Like, it was pure theory. One day he hops on a drum set with double bass, and just starts nailing it right off the bat. Dave Lombardo hears him, asks him how long he's played double bass. "First time." He was hired by Dave as his own drum teacher. That's unfathomable. Training your muscle memory to the idea that doing it elsewhere will create a sound....?! Plus Gene is around a hundred feet tall, and built like a tank. And he wears leather boots.

[@swere1240]

I remember making a drum kit when i was 8 or 9 from my mothers old kitchen ware, pans, pots, kettles, lids, sives, Etc. and played them with chopsticks as drumsticks. Also i made some samples back in the day playing those same things with drumsticks, but they got lost cos my old PCs HDD decided to die on me.

[@Neander104]

Now I really wonder how someone can compare the unique way Eloy hits the snare and the toms with the other guy, which is very technical and fast but just plain and composed.
