now... this snare really cuts through, and this shell really cuts through, and this sheet music really cuts through, and these scissors really cut through.
You don't always need a metal snare drum, I've got the mapex chris adler warbird and it is honestly the loudest snare I've played! It'll cut through anything!
Promark Neil Peart Rush signature sticks found in a lot of places.... wood tipped made out of shira-kashi oak .... amazing strong 5a diameter but slightly longer than 5a amazing sticks very long lasting
Thanks so much for this! I can make a single pedal sound like a double but it makes some beats so difficult, so this has really helped, really needed it!
@mamanatare1 Haha. Well, if your right foot is already stronger, it will naturally take your left foot longer. The more you focus on your left foot now, the better it will be in the future, much like your left hand.
@brennaldo101 shorter bass drums, more muffling, wooden beaters, head selection. little things that add up, there is no genre specific tunings, but these things listed would create a punchier, quicker and shorter attack
pretty awesome, my drummer drums with single bass pedals for my band, sucks though cuz im in a Thrash metal band á slayer... so I totally miss out on all that hardcore double bassings...
lets point out some simple facts first... 1 - I am 16 2 - I've played the drums for 3 months now... 3 - I am not a magician I would love to be a professional drummer but this thing takes time and my time is limited to 6 hours a week... but whatever I do what I like and I like what I do
@seanlame Hey there Mr. Sarcastic, I dont appreciate your attitude >:( but seriously, I started learning it today, and my right foot is waaayyyy better. You think it'll take a ridiculously longer time for my left foot to catch up??
hey sean im having trouble keeping my hi hat or cymbal timing right while playing the bass drum that isn't in the same beat as the hit hat or cymbal for example on the third beat my right hand will go faster on the cymbal or hi hat when I play the bass drum so that my right hand is in time with the bass drum if you know what I mean?? any help?
Also don't forget the Thrash beat! Doable with a single bass. You play a bass + cymbal/tom on the beats and hit the snare on the off beats. OR you hit the snare and cymbal/tom on the on beats and hit the bass drum on the off beat. 1) CY. CY. CY. CY BD-SD-BD-SD-BD-SD-BD OR CY. CY. CY. CY SD-BD-SD-BD-SD-BD-SD Also you have the gallop. Many would argue that this one can only be done with a double bass setup, however with enough practice, it is possible to do on only one bass. A notable user is Nico Mcbrain from Iron Maiden, who pioneerd this beat, and to this day plays it with only one foot. CY. CY. CY. CY SD. SD BDBDBD-BDBDBD-BDBDBD-BDBDBD And I already know I've made this comment before, but another beat series that can be done is any beat that requires a standard double bass setup, but with the auxiliary bass drum being your floor tom, played with your hand (leaving foot free for high hats). A notable user of this technique is the spanish metal drummer El Estepario Siberiano. For example: CY. CY. CY CY. CY. CY. CY. CY SD. SD SD. SD BDFTBDFT BD BDFTBDFT BD This is just an example as pretty much anything you can do with trad double bass you can replicate with hands and feet, replacing the other bass drum with a floor tom or gong drum. You might want to tune down your floor tom and have it closer to your snare drum for this. And lastly, the hardest one, The traditional blast beat This one is a very fast beat done in some thrash metal and in most extreme metal styles (like death metal, black metal, hardcore, grindcore, death core etc.) And essentially is done by rapidly spamming the snare drum with on every beat and every off beat, and hitting the bass drum and cymbal/tom between the snare hits: CY. CY CY. CY CY. CY. CY. CY BDSDBDSDBDSDBDSDBDSDBDSDBDSDBDSD
I am a beginner and I am having trouble with the beat a 3:11. I can do it all separately but when i put it all together I keep on wanting to follow what my feet are doing with my hi-hat arm. Do anybody have any tips on this? It is starting to bother me. I've asked some drummers that I know but they didn't know what I was talking about. Maybe because it's been so long since they started. Thanks in advance.
Mørkskogg I started playing drums almost a year ago. It's a big beginner habit. You just gotta learn independence of your limbs. Try really hard to just keep that straight beat on the hats, and follow the kick drum pattern. It's hard because the bpm of the pattern is faster. Try it slower at like 100 BPM and gradually increase the BPM. it works. Even with learning songs. I gotta learn songs slow and then bring it up to speed. Also experimenting with different beats and just free playing helps too. Its really all about how you learn. But play it slow, and keep that straight beat on the hats as best you can. Search up some independence exercises and try them.
I'm a beginner like you and I understand totally your problem I'm gonna give you some tips that helped me 1.I startrd Air drumming the beat slowly then increase the speed 2.Control over speed That's actually it pretty but take time so be patient
Don't use their tempo find a comfortable tempo then once you got the hang bring it up a few beats like up five or ten till you reach their tempo or a tempo you wanna play at
dis canadians rul i learned to play drums thanx to jared falk, dave atkinson. and sean lang also mike michalkow but idk if he's canadian AND STILL LEARNING
....what the hell ... i see other comments like "it took me a while to make this shit right" or "Jezuz i love these vids they took me a while to do on my set but the time was worth it" ..... I DON'T GET IT.... i've been playing for 2 months now and i know songs like Toxicity and Chop Suey, both by System of a Down... and i play them perfectly... Greenday's American Idiot, Holiday and Basket Case.... wtf.... Can some1 please explain me what is so hard about playing the drums????....
+Peyton Martin I messed myself up trying to learn on to many cymbals when I first started. If your just getting started, I would focus on just the bass, snare, and hihat. just my opinion. that's what I wished I would have done anyways.
please more heavier harder single bass drum beats....i knew al these already....would love something..new...maybe an intermidiate to expert level if possible...ppppppllllllllleeeeeeaaaaaaasssssseeeeeeeeee
He didn't, he said "they made a career out of one bass drum" That says they got where they are today by using one bass drum, not that they're washed up.

papa bless
When you can't afford an extra kick pedal
Or an extra kick
That's why i'm here lol
Or anything
You know it man 😅
Or you don’t want one...
This video really really cuts through
pls
Yes. We need more Metal stuff. :) Is he a permanent instructor? I like how he explains things.
also dude, "china cymbal" is not the preferred nomenclature... "asian-american cymbal" please
Matthew S Please tell me this question is rhetorical
Andrew Workman hahaha +1
the fact that noone got this joke is what made it so funny
pfft... I'm triggered by this post
The Dude abides
You don't always need a metal snare drum, I've got the mapex chris adler warbird and it is honestly the loudest snare I've played! It'll cut through anything!
my favorite dude to learn from
Promark Neil Peart Rush signature sticks found in a lot of places.... wood tipped made out of shira-kashi oak .... amazing strong 5a diameter but slightly longer than 5a amazing sticks very long lasting
I love how he explains the applications within the song for each beat
so lesson one... buy tons of cymbals
You can also hit the floor tom, for a double bass drum like effect.
Thanks so much for this! I can make a single pedal sound like a double but it makes some beats so difficult, so this has really helped, really needed it!
Thank you, this is really helpful for a us single kick metal heads
3:14 LOOVE this riff
Best intro to metal on drums !!!
I'm usually not a Metal Drummer but I LOVE THESE BEATS and they are so helpull for my drumming ... :)
I'm used to watching Jared, but Sean is actually a pretty good teacher too. The forward explanation is really useful.
thank you , great lesson to get me started
@StephenA93 From "new kind of tension" part! Except that he is playing 8th notes.
Number 4 is the beat from The kids arent alright - the offspring
So I'm looking for a mix between metal and rock. What sticks do you recommend?
Something heavier finally! Double bass beats next please, this was awesome too.
@allmetaliswelcome the bigger the bell, the clunkier and less cutting it is. The classics bells are loud and piercing and perfect for metal
Thx Sean, been yearning to see u for a long time!
@mamanatare1 Haha. Well, if your right foot is already stronger, it will naturally take your left foot longer. The more you focus on your left foot now, the better it will be in the future, much like your left hand.
This is all hardcore, nu metal, beats. Modern metal.
@brennaldo101 shorter bass drums, more muffling, wooden beaters, head selection. little things that add up, there is no genre specific tunings, but these things listed would create a punchier, quicker and shorter attack
I MISSED YOU SEAN!!! MORE SEAN!!!
part of it is heel to toe, and another part is lower leg strength, and the best part is having your foot up on the pedal
The beat that he starts at 3:15 is the most fun its simple and sounds good
What BPM is beat at 3 11 ?
thanks bro these are awesome
pretty awesome, my drummer drums with single bass pedals for my band, sucks though cuz im in a Thrash metal band á slayer... so I totally miss out on all that hardcore double bassings...
u should do more
Even if Joey jordison is my favorite drummer,I learned EVERYHING from Lang.
You just gotta love the HHX series :)
Is there a pdf for this lesson? I followed the link for the resources but I don't see it.
nice beat
@3:15 )--> It's the Beat from American Idiot - Green Day
2:40 What is the name of this beat?
Is there a certain way to tune the bass drum for metal?... Bass drums in metal always seem to have a shorter thump than other genres.
lets point out some simple facts first...
1 - I am 16
2 - I've played the drums for 3 months now...
3 - I am not a magician
I would love to be a professional drummer but this thing takes time and my time is limited to 6 hours a week... but whatever I do what I like and I like what I do
Hey Sean, what kick drum are you using? Sound great and clear!
@seanlame Hey there Mr. Sarcastic, I dont appreciate your attitude >:( but seriously, I started learning it today, and my right foot is waaayyyy better. You think it'll take a ridiculously longer time for my left foot to catch up??

what's with you and Thomas Lang?
Thank you this helped a ton!!!!!
Thanks! this might be useful!
Kick sounds great
Great thanks a lot !
AWESOME!!!
Thaks a lot!!!

can we please see some metal drum cover songs from this guy?
Thanks, right to the point.
Great video. Sweetness

What kind of kit are you using?
The songs you can play are simple. Try Heroes of Our time by Dragonforce or Black by Trivium
3:15 kinda sound like She by Green Day
You probably are, I think I am too, I've been playing for 2 weeks and according to my band I'm the best they've had at auditions so yeah ahah

Isn't Run to The Hills played with a double kick?

You could also memorize very well each part independantly to a metronome, then practise really slow at first, and then raise the speed gradually

That's actually it pretty but take time so be patient
love it

Yuss thank you so much
2:50 insane heavy death metal
1st beat is almost the beat on When the Levee breaks
That set is so hot, you are sweating dude
My first day playing drums and I got the first three down but the rest seem kind of overwhelming oh man
David De Jesus don't worry. You'll get there. We all have to start from somewhere
Don't use their tempo find a comfortable tempo then once you got the hang bring it up a few beats like up five or ten till you reach their tempo or a tempo you wanna play at
dis canadians rul i learned to play drums thanx to jared falk, dave atkinson. and sean lang also mike michalkow but idk if he's canadian
AND STILL LEARNING
"This next beat"
How about you demo some iron maiden songs with detail

Really cuts through
3:14 playback speed x2
You will get lars ulrich
Im expecting Sheldon Cooper to say WHHHHEEEEEEEEEAAAAAATTTTTTOOOOONNNNNN!
@themrsunshineyay hell no! the only bells meinl got are the classic's and the m series... only 8"max, sabian's got up to 12"! way better for metal!

I bought a drum kit but it only came with a ride and hi hat cymbals
+Peyton Martin I messed myself up trying to learn on to many cymbals when I first started. If your just getting started, I would focus on just the bass, snare, and hihat. just my opinion. that's what I wished I would have done anyways.
+ethano rawlinsino same
That first beat is off the metronome
please more heavier harder single bass drum beats....i knew al these already....would love something..new...maybe an intermidiate to expert level if possible...ppppppllllllllleeeeeeaaaaaaasssssseeeeeeeeee

kool !!!!!!!
More metal plz :D
@777Arky777 Im writing ;)
@MrHerbalist66 lol!
ABOOOOOOOOOOT
He didn't, he said "they made a career out of one bass drum"
That says they got where they are today by using one bass drum, not that they're washed up.
that drum kit kinda similar to Linkin Park Rob bourdon's kit.
The John Petrucci of drum lessons
Imafishie0.o surely if you're making a Dream Theater analogy, you should be using Mike Portnoy, or Mike Mangini. John Petrucci is the guitarist
UP THE IRONS!!! No double bass...even in can i play with madness
Hmm impressive but............needs more cowbell
And Justice For All best comment
