Hey, you are missing the Nile blast - the bombblast where you play the right hand on the snare and the left plays 8th notes on the offbeats between the snare hits!
My head before: "let's see what a blast beat really consists of. Maybe I can do it with only one bass pedal." *1:57** later* *googling price of second pedal*
What about the Mortician blast beat? When I heard Mortician's albums, I was blown away by how insanely fast the blast beat was. Then I found out it was a drum machine...until I saw a Mortician concert. Holy shit...I was double amazed by the fact they found a drummer that could throw down such crazy blast beats at superhuman speed.
Yeah technically S&T isn't a blast beat but can be considered the 'half time' of a traditional blast. The other so-called blast beat here that isn't one is the inverse skank
I like how one of the things that connects the Dirk blast and the Hoglan blast, is that Gene and Dirk both played for Devin Townsend on some of his heaviest records.
Very instructive. Thanks. Dirk, Gravity Bomb, Stop and Go, and inverse shank are my favourite I think i will create some blast battery patterns to work on rythm with my guitar.
The traditional always sounds the best to me and has the most groove of all of them imo. Another one would be the Chris Pennie septuplet accented blasts like in the dillinger escape plan song Panasonic youth or any Dillinger song
Thank you so much!! I’ve just started trying to program drums to match to all of my riffs. The trial and error phase has been fun... but seeing notation and what it sounds like is incredibly helpful!! Thank you!!
Always loved your videos, this being a personal fave. Your playing is always so clean, and it makes me wonder, are there any videos of you giving lessons or tips on coordination/interdependence? Would love to watch one of my favorite drummers explain how he fucks shit up like this lol
thank you! I've never fully knew if it was just faster Backbeat , faster 4otf or even if the kick or the snare was first beat, now i know, it doesn't matter as long as it's "fast af boi"
love the hoglan blast. no doubt made famous by gene hoglan the atomic clock or human drum machine. dethklok- laser cannon deth sentence is a track I only dream of accomplishing on the kit.
Crazy how the drums make those guitar sounds
Science has gone too far! They were too focused on whether they could do it that they didn’t think about whether they should!
fkn funny!!
:v
Soooooo true!!!
LMAO
this is what the drummer does when the guitarists are tuning
I always thought this was a joke until I actually tried to play in my first band lol

Hi Dirk!
Oh, well I guess your comment answers my question about where that sick as fuck beat came from.
Very neat.
DirkVerbeurenDrummer your blast is probably the best sounding blast
+DirkVerbeurenDrummer, to be fair, your signature blast beat is one of the best for singles.
I like the part were he hits the snare
Same.
The red ones are more gooder cause they taste like berries
LazyWorm92 smack
Me 2!
Actually, blast beats are way too overused in metal, and generally a drumming overkill, if anything. When metal turned into a sports competition...
1:15 Stop n Go is by far my favorite
Reminded me of meshuggah
Check out ‘I’by Meshuggah, there’s a whole section in the (20 min) song using that technique
I need more songs with Stop n Go. Any recommendations? :)

Metalweasel same I'd love to see more videos like this for other beats.
i love that hoglan has a beat named after him
Benante should have one too. In SOD he played some of the most memorable blast beats.
Andrew Johnson Dirk Blast Is My Favourite.
* drummer you hate * also has their own blast beat (pussy blast).
It sounds fuckin sick too!
I would have thought the "stop n go" would be called the hoglan blast. He loves doing that all the time and it sounds sick every time.
I always wanted to name my band „The Blast Beatles“
Lol

There exists a band named that here in Finland. Saw them live actually

Read this as it went over 1:15 and just knew this was the moment you were talking about
I would love to have with the vibrate synced to the bass drum.
What song is that?
the Dirk Blast was the coolest part of this video, I want to hear a full version of that
Agreed
Go to Dirk's YT account, he has instructions to do it even
That dirk blast reminds of of nikko bryan of iron maiden drummer. I dunno if he knows anything about dirk blast

Hey, you are missing the Nile blast - the bombblast where you play the right hand on the snare and the left plays 8th notes on the offbeats between the snare hits!

You should be able to do both
You gotta double bass, bro. 😆

@@ssaamilslaughterhouse
For years the live drummer was usually Roger Beaujard and Desmond Tolhurst would play guitar. Mortician's the shit!
Mike smith from Suffo can definitely execute those crazy speeds.
Mike Smith is an average drummer at best when it comes to death metal drumming. There are drummers out there that could run circles around him.
1:08 Diarrhea Blast.
Not only does it sound the most brutal, it's got by far the best name of 'em all.
first time i heard that one was in pantera's "use my third arm"

Where's that album
Aight where is that album

It's been 3 years where tf is that album

LoL Traditional Lazy cracked me up... "why do all the work with one foot when you can just go for a jog?"
Hahaha but sometimes it's hard to control when you shift from using one foot to both your feet. I've tried that before
I like how one of the things that connects the Dirk blast and the Hoglan blast, is that Gene and Dirk both played for Devin Townsend on some of his heaviest records.
You strung a couple of these together in Devin Townsend’s “Hear Me” to INCREDIBLE effect. Bravo!
my rough guess for the sequence is Diarrhea into Dirk into Bomb
you know that song is 4 years old and this video is 7 years old
His blasts are so on point it also plays the guitar.
Hoglan blast \m/

@@mns000001He had a lot on Mechanize album by Fear Factory.

+B2B WEB Jaime Martín it's a bit different in guitar pro

I found it a bit tricky at first myself but once you can memorise what number corresponds to what drum hit it's a lot easier.
Those slow and true blasts in black metal 👌 so good

The riff just made me think, that the Drik Blast would fit perfectly to the end of Megadeth's "Lying In State".

Not his problem.
Furor Divinus by Behemoth is pretty much just "Blast Beat: The Song," but DAMN it's good.
