      Excuse my ignorance, and I'm not trying to take away from Sam's insane performance in any way: is it physically/humanly possible to achieve the snare sound in a "Dirk" blast without triggers? The stick doesn't seem to be moving enough vertical distance to give a consistent or strong sound.
      Again, I'm just curious, I know that Sam has robotic consistency without triggers anyway.

    • @TheNightDrummer
      @TheNightDrummer 5 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      @@frostlips22 You're probably asking about the gravity blast, a few seconds later, using the rim as a fulcrum? (some old timers call that freehand blast) & you'd be right, it's a quieter buzz. The Dirk blast is when he alternates left & right cymbals, while keeping the other hand blasting. Clearly enough rebound there.

    • @AstrumG2V
      @AstrumG2V 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The Dirk blast uses a 3-stroke based flam rudiment which goes to pretty stupidly high speeds without losing volume if you play them well! lR L R rL R L is the pattern, which is basically R-RRR- and LL-L-L overlaid on top of each other. The three strokes in a row are on the snare, the singles on your cymbal or tom of choice

I tried it with my left foot and it feels much more natural. Thanks for that man. Also, awesome drumming.

    Offbeats in a triplety time signature, then straight blast over it, then flam 3's on a modulation to a straight rhythm, then back to triples with a gravity blast on top.
    1.5, then 3, then 4, and then 6 snare hits per pulse. Crazy.
