You guys are amazing. Thank you so much!!

As a guitarist it's easy to overlook how much the drums actually change the perception of a riff. Great video.
Sometimes I'm listening to the riff, and suddenly I think the riff is being played faster somehow, but no, it's just the drums going double time. Song is the same tempo.
It really does. The drummer is what makes a riff interesting.
I always argued with a friend, he said that drums are the main thing in metal, and I say that guitars are the main thing. Looks like my friend the old metalhead is right
When you're guitarist and you see a drummer composing better riffs than yours
That actually scares the shit out of me 🙈🙈🙈🙈
Truth !
Dave grohl moment
That’s why learn drums and guitar kids
Hate the fact this is true
This is why i love metal so much. A little change can create such a completely different feel to any riff and allows for so many variations.
Blues and jazz (pop, rap, classic - you name it) folks can actually say the same about the rhythm section in their favorite genres.. Then somebody may say to them something like "Bro, it's not changing so much, it's still more-or-less the same thing, just with different drum patterns".. And then, they will answer you they think the same of the example in this video with metal🤣
So, long story short, it's definitely not only about any given genre, including metal😅
@@BrushlessCake yeah, not to mention the fact, that more hardcore oriented genres (like mathcore, metalcore, sludge, noise rock) can offer more intensity, complexity and rawness with more out of the box approach. Dillinger Escape Plan has maddening stuff.
Drums are NOT a little change
this applies for all genres
Samus out here shredding riffs better than some guitar demo channels!
👍👍👍🤘🤘🤘
Definitely
yea and I bet he didn’t use simply guitar either 😂
Most of us know he rips at guitar. This isn't new.
HELL YA DUDE!! I agree 100%
That’s actually insane how fast and clean your double bass playing is. Absolutely incredible!
wow man thank you very much!
@@66Samus How do you know William is playing World of Warcraft?
This is pretty soilwork (dirk era)
Wow sick guitar. Total inspiration. Giving people reminders of whats possible. Thx butha...
Hate to bring it but those aren't actually mic'd drums. So we do not know how clean he is by hearing the finished track. But fast, hell yeah!! :)
0:39 Guitar riff
1:36 Rock beat
2:10 Double time
2:36 Breakdown beat
3:02 Slow breakdown beat
3:31 Rock beat with double bass (8ths)
3:56 The Tom Tickler
4:21 Punk/thrasher beat
4:50 Rock beat with double bass (16ths)
5:20 Hammer to bomb blast
5:53 Traditional blast
6:24 Combination beat
I like tom tickler, breakdown and combination!
I always forget that Samus is actually good at guitar so it shocks me every time 😂
Yup. Super talented chode.
Yeah, I was like, son of a b... :D Not only one of the best metal drummers of our time, nope that kid got some guitarchops as well.
@@BigMuff75 check out Samus' one hour challenge, if you haven't already:)
have you seen his the stillborn one cover?
You can’t be a drummer in a Metal/Rock band for long without learning how to play guitar
This video is the best example of how drumming works.
Every musician should see this, especially drummers.
thank you!!!
@@66Samus I got a message to text you on telegram..is it really you?
@@deusmisereatur4213 I feel qualified to answer this, NO! 😐
@@Eeta_Zeeba Oh these noobs!
@@deusmisereatur4213 do not answer that homie!! Atleast I hope you didn't
34 yrs old, dis. Vet. I'm officially inspired. Thank you. Starting my drum adventure this new year. Thank you.
hell yeah dude!!!
@@66Samus yea!
Crazy how blast beats make the riff sound faster and much more aggressive.
I won't be the 70th like on a comment with 69
Crazy how much a beat can change the sound of the riff
That's what I mean when I say "I could like this song if it wasn't for the drums"
Yea man, it's because any particular drum hit landing on any particular note will accent it, with the percussive value of the drum (snare, kick etc) so depending on how the drum pattern is laid out, we'll have different notes in the riff being accented and brought to focus more. Kind of like if you were reading a poem where a second person would occasionally shout one of the words in accompaniment as you spoke it. Depending on which words were chosen to be shouted it would have an entirely different meaning and feel.
@@fwsound3924 lmao that was a good exolanation of accents, I'm stealing it ty
Wow dude. Sick riffage. I’ve been a guitar player for 25 years but these drum videos are just crack to me mannnnnn. Thx!!!
thank you Drew!!
@@66Samus Vice versa 66samus!!!
You learn 2 important things in this video.
1. Samus plays guitar, and is better than most other channels too.
2. Just how much a different drum beat can change the entire feel of just one riff.
Барабанщик просто обалденный
He can play guitar, he can play drums, but still can't crawl
One of my favorite examples of #2 is "On Your Time" by Dark Tranquility at around the 4:26 mark. I always liked how the riff stays mainly the same, but the drums get more and more complex, completely changing the feel of the riff by the end.
#1 kills me when he says "I never play guitar anymore" and then shreds a perfectly played, complicated guitar part
#2 that's the sauce my man!
Hell yeah. I also learned that drag and drop guitar riff into EZBass to make bass tracks. I've been doing the bass midi manually like a complete bahee!
This is easily my favorite video you have made yet. Awesome
thank you!!
Bro 11 was amazing, when I first heard your riff I immediately heard potential for an amazing build-up to something incredibly majestic and you delivered my good man.
thank you dude!!
Honestly that tribal tom beat/rhythm always, ALWAYS fills me with excitement, anticipation and (in a good sense) tension. Especially over any kind of faster metal guitar riff. Never disappoints.
This guy keeps his power in his hair and it's making me nervous thinking about how someone could just sneak up behind him so suspiciously and help themselves. omg please keep it safe.
😂🤘
He’s like Samson from the Bible , or should I say Samusson
Haha Agree!!! That shits gold!!!
Watch out for that woman who likes tying men to kitchen chairs……! 😂
I love how you recorded this on an April Lavigne guitar and my brain was "How is this going to be heavy?". Well skaterboy, see you later boy, because this was awesome. I never realized that drums had this much power over determining how a riff sounds.
Thanks for making this.
You should definitely make a series out of this
The combination beat was honestly the best. Love your videos and your personality so much!
Dude, I've never seen you before, but this is freaking fantastic! Love the breaks from the video for silly moments, they fit and make sense and are funny!! Great talent all around!
thank you so much!!!
I'd love to hear a full version of this song someday, it already has potential to be a sick melodeath song based on that riff alone. Very Soilwork-like
Also reminded me a lot of Dethklok, especially Andromeda and the melodic bridge of Hatredcopter. Love the Hero Forge profile mini too, btw, I always spot a fellow forger :)
For this riff, I personally felt the punk beat and traditional blast worked the best. They captured the energy of that riff so well.
lol
Dude same, it’s 1-7-10 for me. Like you said 7 wins overall.
Same Here 👌
Very 2006 in flames vibes with that one
Agreed, but I also felt the tom thing fit it much better than I thought it would. It would make sense to play the tom beat first and then go into the trad blast IMO.
Number 5 immediately came to mind when you first played the riff and I liked it best.
This video really shows how besides the actual skills of a drummer, what really makes the song a great song! The choices every drummer makes, based in their taste and talent, are what actually can make the real difference between a good and a great drum part adding value to the song! 🤘🤘🤘🤘
Ok dude, this is the second one of your videos I've watched and I'm gonna have to sub. Not only is there kick ass musical wonderment but I also laughed my ass off! Excellently done.
thank you dude!!
What a drum god this guy is! Those traditional blastbeats were absolutely eargasmic!
haha thank you dude, and I love your name :)
7 is the beat for this riff and the blast as well. Perfect for a sick melodeath jam
Honestly, the regular rock, rock double time, rock double bass and the tom ones fit the riff the best in my opinion
Actually this is a pretty nice practice to try out for a band to find interesting arrangements
The combo beat at the end was tight!! There are so many options to choose from, but the 11 you picked were def great ones!
Reminded me of the newer Disturbed songs a lot. I like that one and the 16th double best.
Sick AF. It would be cool to see all of the beats at once, like one after another, while the riff continuously plays. Like how a song can change up it's drum and rhythm to give a different feel.
The best in my opinion is the double bass with 8th notes, I mean sure all the fast beats are cool and all, but the 8th notes fit pretty nicely and don't overwhelm the song
Rock Beat and double Bass my favorite!! Love videos like this !! Greatly appreciated 💯
this one too what!?
What does the video say posted 8 hours ago but your comment say's 2 days ago? 😂
Number 5 was so NOICE it made me pull a muscle in my face. This is a brilliant demonstration of how important drums are in a song! As others have commented, the drums can completely change our perception of the song, even if every other instrument is unchanged. For a long time, my favorite "song" was a demo MP3 by some drum program label. It was a basic distorted guitar riff, and several different beats played over it. It literally makes an entire song with one riff on loop, and the drums deciding the dynamic and structure of the song.
Most of these drum beats are indistinguishable from each other.
Tell me you don’t listen to music without telling me you don’t listen to music…
@@isheetfromaswhole3657 My drumming skills are extremely basic, but I was able to distinguish them. Then again, your profile name rhymes with 'troll'...
@@wamporeycidulgb I can distinguish between them. Let me rephrase. For every three only one stands out. You do know that playing a melody is like playing a drum beat right? What an experienced musician would do is play all those variations on guitar in a song or piece of music. You want my advice? Stop thinking exclusively in terms of mainstream music. This TH-camr does, judging by this video anyways. Instead of thinking I might be a troll instead consider that I'm right because I am. I play an instrument. The rhythms he played would all be used just not on the drums, through the melody.
On a side note, I picked my name for a reason. It can be read multiple ways.
@@isheetfromaswhole3657 I think, in music, what stands out and what doesn't, is largely dependent on individual music preference. A song / piece of music can (and should, in my opinion) be varied by changing what is performed on ALL instruments, not just the drums, but this youtuber's intention with this video was to show how JUST changing the drums can change our perception of the music, and I think that came across very clearly. I don't even know what mainstream music is, but I'm sure hardcore jazzheads and metalheads might call my music preference mainstream, and I don't care. I'm skeptical of calling anything with blastbeats 'mainstream', though.
I get that you think you are right, and referring to music preference being different for everyone, I can't say you're wrong from YOUR point of view.
I disagree with your assessment, and it's always going to be that way. We experience music differently, and we have different opinions about it.
Of course: combination is the most beautiful!
Dude i didnt even know you could play guitar and then you just bust out one of the most badass riffs ive ever heard 🤯
There’s so,etching so mesmerizing about watching a good drummer play
This is really interesting, it's neat to hear how much the pace of the song seems to change just from the drums. I think I'm going #2 and #11!
Thia is just amazing! Samus is the only person who has inspired me to play drums, while also bringing me to the realization that I will never be this good!!
Don't say that. Who knows, you could have some god given talent.
@@buckbreaker5185 Thanks Buck!
@@jwoods702How are the drums going dude?
Bro you truly rock. You can play multiple instruments equally well. Props.
It'd be cool to hear these kinda metal riffs over non traditional stuff like reggae / surf beats.
Also my whole discord says we look alike haha. Keep up the sick vids man! (Nice guitar playing also)
Wouldn't heavy guitars + reggae beat just end up sounding like a skank part?
You gotta get in more with these guitar videos. That playing is underrated as FHUACK
thank you dude!!
Nothing makes me smile more than seeing him still have to lay down a guitar riff personally, but then easily replace the bass player with a program.
I didn't expect such a metalcore sounding riff from Samus
You ever listen to Decrepit Birth? Most metalcore death metal I ever heard
Combo beat was perfect! I also love how it really did sound like Chris Adler for that breakdown beat.
Are you weird al's son? your delivery is exactly like weird al, and that is a compliment.
That's such a cool concept. I'm not a drummer or anything, but I feel like this would be a great a idea for a contest or something like this! Like, we, guitarists, have so many contests going on where we need to write a riff or a solo over a drumbeat, so seeing this idea being inverted in this video was REALLY cool! My favorite was 7, you can't go wrong with the "Slayer beat" lol. It reminded me of something from Killswitch Engage or As I Lay Dying!
7 is going to be my favorite, no matter the guitar riff. It should be in every song.
Dude that guitar riff was awesome and I loved all the drum patterns too!! Every vid I watch makes me wanna play drums more and more you rock dude!!!
thank you so much!
One of my favorite videos you’ve ever made! Fantastic work my friend 🤘
That first rock beat with some power metal vocals 👌👌
as someone who has only been playing the drums for roughly a year and four months, your speed and precision is absolutely incredible!!! i aspire to be as good as you one day 🤘
thank you so much dude!!
I'd have to say beats 3 and 5 were my favorites, would love more videos like this!
how is this comment from 2 days ago on a 53 minute old video

@@zero28ism thank you! 🌻
Super amazing. Guitarist, not a drummer but I look forward to learning some cool stuff from this channel. This was inspiring.
thank you Patrick!!
The super-fast double-kick and snare combine to sound like a horde of bloodthirsty typewriters, fresh out of the factory and looking to tear you limb from limb.
I'm all for those blast beats, but am enjoying all of it immensely. Brutal drumming as always.
Amazing!! I’m getting my son a electric drum kit for Christmas this year….. definitely having him watch your videos…. Im a guitarist and bought him a guitar years ago that he didn’t touch let’s hope this tracks better lol
beauty of metal: you can do all of them. other types of music don't have this option.
I like no.5 the best. Kicks are matched for each guitar notes and it’s powerful.
Pure energy load with a handful of humor and funny looks! Thanks a lot, man 8)
thank YOU!!
The combination flowed FLAWLESSLY
Man, that was a good riff. I would've imagine it having a harmony included with that to make it sound Melodeath-esque.🤘
The Punk/Thrash beat sounded a lot better.
*#9 blows my mind. Oh wait, so does #10.*
New subscriber here. Finally, a worthy channel TH-cam recommended to me!
thank you so much Andy!! welcome my dude
Glad TH-cam recommended this one! Awesome. Very well done
thank you Luke!!
I can’t even begin to convey how satisfying this was to watch. You also seem like a super chill guy. If you haven’t, I’d love to see you cover either Embrace the World, Global Warming, or Mouth of Kala by Gojira. Those all go hard af and your kit sounds perfect for those.
Thank you for beat 11. I dig toms when they’re used that way.
Traditional Blast definitely worked the best here for me with Hammer Blast coming in second and Thrash Beat coming in 3rd. It's so sick to see how different the riff feels with different drum beats.
That combination was so sick man! I loved IT 🔥
Man. I love you. You make me laugh. Few and far between these days. Oh yeah, you're an awesome drummer.
🙏🙏🙏
Drumming is all about combinations
It hurts to see a drummer pick a guitar and lay a killing riff better than everything I can produce after my 20 years of guitar 🙈🙈🙈
And by the way number 5 is my favorite because I just had to headbang on this one 😄 🤘🏻
you forgot the breakdown part that comes after this verse , i got so many nasty evil breakdowns in mind that id love to hear
Love this exercise. Nicely demonstrates his different a riff can feel, depending on the underlying beat. Very well done.
Your a testament to practice and good old fashion work
11 months behind, but Imma do it anyways. 1. Just had a classic sound and immediately grabbed me. 2. Was a nice step up and felt like a continuation. Blasts we're great, but the riff didn't feel meaty enough for me. I was leaning towards 1&2, (with wisps of the double bass) until the combination. That one sold it. Paired perfectly with the riff like pb&j.
The rock double time sounded like 5 flavored fruit punch 👊
Man, "Hammer to bomb blast" was my favorite!! Killer!!!!!
i was thinking a combo of tribal, rock double kick, and rock double time, and a blast thrown in there as the cherry on top
Every Beat that you play sounds like awsome!
wow dude thank you!!
Man you make that look so easy
holy mother of god this was incredible from start to finish
I think The 16th note double bass drum over the double time rock beat was my favourite, then the Hammer Blast to a Bomb Blast beat
Nice work!! That combo on 22/2 was money!!! And yur draggin, cracks me up!!! 😂 Mach Eisley
combo beat was the best. a good mix of everything and sounded awesome
How can you be so fast??? My god, just perfect!
The Slayer beat was awesome to my hears, Good job man
Your footwork is INSANE Bro...
Like to see a full version on Number 2, 5 and 6 would sound so epic!
last beat (the combination!) was the best! cool video!
My high school band didn't have drummer for swaths of time and we wrote a bit but didnt compose in recording thinking it would be too studio canned. You can definitely compose without being slave to recording/arrangement.
🤣🤣there is an older lady next to me looking at me like I’m crazy right now 🤣🤣that was awesome, had it cranked up 🤣🤣
LOG breakdown, it opened the door for me!
Love LOG, and that riff you did is kinda juicy :)
Keep it up Samus, we got good content here :)
Tom groove was sick, lotsa swag and flavor on cymbals...10🤘
@66Samus Just checked this out! Yep I totally missed it! As another dude that primarily plays drums but messes around on guitar just because Ibweite a lot of poems/songs. Seein you kill on both definitely inspires!🔥 Preciatechee brother 🥁🍗🎸🤘🪨 Keepem comin! BTW would love to see some more creative multi instrument vids like this!
Great Video! I like 5 and 11 the most. 🤘
Actually it's super cool(even though it's more time consuming) to do experiments like this when composing a song, and not with drums only👌
Of course nobody's gonna try 10 different variations of each and every instrument in a song, as everybody has some listening experience that helps to understand in advance what definitely won't sound good in a particular composition.
But❗ all in all, this kind of approach really helps when you're working hard on composing some song(s) the best way you can with your current skills, and as a bonus you get rid of "oh man, I should have tried different in this song", because you did actually try it 😄
This is why I love music because you can literally do anything with it
im getting painkiller vibes from that riff keep it up samus!
I love the last one traditional blast
