TBDM - Nocturnal is one of the most highly creative drum spectacles to this day in melodic death metal. Not over-played, not excessive for each track, literally as close to perfection as you can get. I have spent hours upon hours drumming along to that album.
@@Unknownusername1004 Yeah, Deflorate was more "oddball" especially his footwork, but Nocturnal in the classic sense was just pure relentless and great writing. You can actually hear on the album that drums were still "human" and not programmed in any sense too, listen to the chorus in Deathmask Divine again. He really has to power through those fast runs and you can hear the struggle. It's a shame today how many bands just use Superior Drummer 3.
66samus kicks ass!! I love that guy fucking amazing drummer and really funny guy!! Youre the one who made me decide to start learning drums at 51. Been a Metalhead for 40yrs, now that i have more time on my hand ,its fun learning and watching your vids is always a blast 🤘🤘🥁
that involuntary doppelganger drum line reminds me of marching beat snare work in the military. i actually prefer this double snare technique to the single roll blast beats, more intense and harder to pull off those perfect subdivisions between bounces. very easy to make double handed snare sound off
I kinda thought that drummer may have had some marching band experience going by the sticking patterns and the precision, looks like a challenge! Spun me out to see that.
@@jlo7770it‘s funny that you say this under a video that also features Infant Annihilator, which have no real drums whatsoever and could be called „miming“ in every right. Shows how little of a clue you have
Tbh, a lot of sampling and triggers make it seem like we’re hitting the drums with mjölnir, the first albums of Suffocation and Origin are more realistic, but there are also drummers like Eloy Casagrande from Sepultura who hit like a train but still manage to hit 220 bpm fairly easy
Look Up Marco Pitruzzella. That's My Mentor. Be Extremely Careful And Safe Out There !! May You, Your Familia, Friends Have An Amazing Positively Safe Blessed Day/ Night Today.
question: who can play this kind of music can easily play prog metal such as dream theater songs? or one thing is very different from the other to be learning?
The Skin Thief by Necrogoblikon has some fantastic blast beats too. Silent Life by Rivers of Nihil And deadass. If you love the drums from Fleshgod, try the Japanese band Imperial Circus Dead Decadence. Shinbatsu goes nutty with the blasts, their song 'gekiai no yobigoe ga dekiai no kyougoe wo' has a blast beat section about 4 mins in, it's absolutely Heavenly
The Japanese band's drummer is okay, but something about the skank pattern sounds offensively off to me. I'd put Asterism's drummer against them any day, JS. Nekrogoblikon and Rivers of Nihil are 10/10 on any drummer or metalhead list.
@@Stuugie. Hadn't heard 1914 before... they're pretty good blackened death. Track sounds kind of remind me of Miasma by BDM, or Into the Ashes by Abigail Williams.
Blast beat: rapid repeated single shot snare notation, usually in excess of 180 bpm. To slap: In this instance, awesome, great, badass. I.E. "These tacos fuckin slap!" or "Man, this weed really slaps...".
When blasts are musical and dynamic in their creativity, its awesome… When its just droning speed, its hella boring because the music is usually really bad lol
There's no objective arbiter of what quantifies a musical and dynamic blast though. I think it would be more accurate to say you don't like repetitive music. lol
@@x8jason8x Music is subjective and always will be, but that doesn't make his point any less valid. If your backbeat is fairly simple and standard except it's at x20 speed that isn't being creative. The fills are the only thing that separates these mostly, minus the one guy who was rotating hands on the snare. That was a cool idea. I'm sure these are all great drummers, but this isn't my music and to me it sounds odd. I can hear the melodies getting lost with the speed of everything. To each his own, I'm glad people like it and I appreciate the talent.
@@georgen5882 That's not remotely what he said. "When its just droning speed, its hella boring because the music is usually really bad" Not at all true of more successful extreme metal acts.
Another one of these dudes... let me guess, you think Aaron programmed it? Here's him killing it on a 5 piece kit with 2 cymbals and a hi-hat, and you didn't even need to leave YT to find it: th-cam.com/video/_YUKEowJV4M/w-d-xo.html
@@x8jason8x you think that trash is the same as the record? Lol I watched that video and no way what they cracked to 10 through the pa was not for note what he was playing. You blind af dude
As a drummer, I respect the hell out of this stuff. It's like a hybrid of music and martial arts.

I think deflorate was better creativity wise but I’m also a Shannon Lucas fanboy considering he’s the reason I got into melodic death metal drumming

Se tu toca este álbum , parabéns!
Está playing drums muito...
Alan Cassidy is an incredible drummer, but the Shannon era TBDM will always be my fave.
Most definitely. Shannon is a beast
Yeah buddy!
Agree, the older BDM just hits different.
I love that he wore driftcats. Best drumming shoes I’ve ever tried!
Serious physical and artistic talent on display. These mad lads are sick in the best way possible!

Samus was once in abigail williams!
Don’t forget that he was also in Decrepit Birth!
@@YANAPA damn I didn't know that
Ohh yur
It's never to late to learn an instrument! All the best for your efforts!
Bro, Archspire and Fleshgod Apocalypse drum parts are made, for masochists, by masochists! 🤣
Check Benighted and Aborted. There are a few bands out there that are pure nihilism
Brutal not for weaks😅😅😅
Eugene in FA is a dream come true
Check out Necrosy too!!
sadomasochism \m/
"Winds of Horus" by Nile has one of the most underrated blasts in metal, the blasts with cymbal chokes are insane
Thats right!
Come on anything by lord Marco should be on this list easily
Brain drill especially
Nicholas barker?
YES!!!!!!!
Where's Mike Smith from Suffocation?
Thank you!!! He is the God Father of drum blast beats!!!
I miss seeing Shannon lucas play in wicked death metal. Such a rad drummer!
He was everyone's favorite drummer around 2009-2011. Such an influential and powerful drummer

Called gravity blast bounce off rim hard to do correctly
@@deathmetaldave I've got mine up to about 260-280... after only a decade or so of practice. 😅
Blastbeats should be introduced at the next Olympic Games
Another fleshgod song thats slap is fury
Drums are killer AF
Breaking news: Gatekeepers unable to identify gates at a cemetery.
Thanks for the video.
Nile?
66samus's drums sounds unholy! Absolute kickass
Yeah pretty easy when you rip the drum track off the album and have a little bit of skill to mime the playing
@@jlo7770what

@@jlo7770 nigga he literally played for tech death band decrepit birth. He's an incredible drummer
The drumparts in TBDM are insane!
Samus's classic blastbeat is by far the best.
And those were his 'young' days......he's just as brutal today \m/
His stick height is insane.
Trash
If you like pure blast beats brodequin and last days of humanity are some of the pure blast till the end
Belphegor-Gasmask Terror is my favorite blast beat, dropping you right in at crazy speed
Samus blasts are super clean
Emperor - Ye Entrancemperium
yeah man ty for put in TBDM!! best band ever! i miss so much their singer...
Ters from my eyes !!!! Wowwww
WTF, that bonus!!!
One song that definitely should be on this list is Belphegor's "Totentanz - Dance Macabre". David Diepold plays it like a god!
🔥🔥🔥
I was literally Listening to Fleshgod apocalypse when this video was recommended
I will NEVER understand how these drummers are able to play such insane parts consistently like that.
work, dedication, and more work

Very glad to see Sons of Northern darkness here

Hail Murder!!!!
So glad to see 66Samus gettin some love!!🤘🤘
I must love blast beats because these are some of my favorite songs lol
question: who can play this kind of music can easily play prog metal such as dream theater songs? or one thing is very different from the other to be learning?
Different styles that intersect pretty commonly nowadays. Look at Blake Richardson from BTBAM.
Archspire's drumming is the most interesting one i have ever seen
Bonus Blasphemy stole the show, absolutely 😂
Can't even see the stick when Involuntary Doppelganger drummer play that f'ing sh**
Fleshgods drummer doesnt joke around
sick
Love the Redneck video reference in the news ticker 😏😏
This video has hard-core 2009 vibes
Marduk is not included??
Austin archey?
So we just gunna pretend like Lord Marco doesn't exist?🤨
Check Part 2 on our channel 😎

One by one indeed does slap hård.
For the sake of blasting check out Kai Hahto when he played for Rotten Sound
Or Wintersun :) \m/
Slaughter to prevail the best!

Chason West from Brand of Sacrifice or David McGraw from Cattle Decapitation would be dope 🙏👌

1:34 Immortal,
Is it Fleshgood Apocalypse with two o´s on purpose?
First one to clock it!
FleshGOOD Apocalypse
We thought it was funny at the time
@@Moshology It sort of is funny... For a while!
None from Pete Sandoval? There sure must be one😁
I remember back when Death and Morbid Angel were the most brutal bands ever. Not so much these days, but you gotta respect the originals.
No Nils Fjellström? THE blast beat master ?
Fleshgood
66samus WITHOUT A BEARD??
Magnifico.💰💰💰💰💰💰
Where's Austin Archey?
I went though all the comments and didn't see Cephalic Carnage or John Merryman. Kinda sad about that. lol
Where's MELANCHOLY by SHADOW OF INTENT?
to whoever read this, try rise of the fearmonger by beneath the massacre :)
Anything by Beneath the Massacre is a banger honestly.
What about Necrophagist ??????
I mean, they been dead as a band for like 20 years, but they were fuckin amazing...
DEREK RODDY?? GEORGE KOLLIAS? PETE SANDOVAL???
You have to see GAEREA!! This is a true blast…
Archspire and Fleshgod Apocalypse are amazing. I am seeing Fleshgod Apocalypse, Shadow of intent and Ingested in few hours in Reading PA 😁🤘🏻
i think george kollias from nile and mike smith ex-suffocation more brutal than any of them
This is a serious comment!! I agree
Death metal purists lol. George and Mike are both brutal AF though, that's just facts.

What is a blastbeat and what does it mean to slap?
Blast beat: rapid repeated single shot snare notation, usually in excess of 180 bpm.
To slap: In this instance, awesome, great, badass. I.E. "These tacos fuckin slap!" or "Man, this weed really slaps...".
