another good reason to practice at least simpler songs with other foot/hand etc is when you lose a stick/beater. I once lost the beater from my right pedal and finished out the song using my left foot. Luckily it wasn't a very complex song or double bass reliant but it certainly saved my ass. Then i was able to re-attach and tighten the beater back to my pedal for the next song.
This is extremely useful, thank you! Lead with weaker limb is great practical advice.... It works and I suggest why not extend the concept and brush your teeth non dominant? Brush your hair. Write... Our brains love repetition.
Awesome tips man. Very appreciated i love the channel. Been a guitar player for twenty years but by god I’ve always had the itch to do blast beats. Set up my electric set a few days ago. I’m about to get crunk 🎉
Hi Derek, the suggestion, I really like, of course, I like them all, is the one about using the weaker side. You see, I started out as a left handed drummer. and I am now working with the weaker right side. thanks for the video. That was some good stuff. Keep up the good work.
Do it slow for long periods of time (I really pushed the limits a while ago, giving each of those coordination and endurance excercises 20 minutes of straight playing it, but 10-15 should be completely fine already), then increase the bpm slowly, about 5 bpm, every three or four days (If you are able to do this excercise daily. If you can only get to it once every few days, put up the Metronome once every two weeks or so). This really helped me with my legs at gaining speed (went from 170 to 220 in round about three and a half months) as well as getting proper control along the way.
That depends on person to person, I would feel close to 20 to 23 dollars per month is a fair deal, I would love to subscribe back again if I get some better offers just waiting for those!! Thanks for the reply,.. cheers!!!
start a blackmetal band, and don't duck walk. that's what I did. My band Illithid put out a self-titled, its all 1-foot. its not that fast but it definitely helped develop my 1-foot blasting, which really helped me get to a point where I could bomb-blast really easily, just add the second foot in at the same tempo and boom, you're bomb-blasting.
Did DW sent this Champagne sparkle per order? or do they just sent the artist drum sizes etc... but pick a particular color model regardless of the genre of the artist? because it's (at least for me) strange seeing a Thrash, Metal, Hardcore ect... drummer ask for a drum wrapping more associated with a jazz or Big band Gig.
The video never answers the fundamental question - why do "blast beats" even exist in the first place? They are just a slightly more refined version of what a 9 year old tries to do the first time they sit down at a drum set.
I remember watching this dude's blast beat videos back in the early days of TH-cam. What a legend
We disagree on the concept of "a little faster"...
No doubt!
Coming from some random sheep
@@Sun3ater....and joke just flew over....😅
So Derek is the Thanos of drumming... "perfectly balanced, as all things should be" 😎
he IS thanos
@Steven Pounsett Yes he's more powerful and faster. But he's less creative (except his stuffs outside of Nile)
@Steven Pounsett jesus fucking christ calm down dude
@Steven Pounsett butthurt much?
Thanos is just a pale imitation of Darkseid who is superior in every way.
Like George kollias.
>little faster
*triples tempo*
cyysv haha I chuckled at that when I saw this video
Wow it's been so long since I watched Derek Roddy's videos... please have him back for more content like this!
"A little faster" he says...
Hugh Mungus what?
Dadadadadadadadada 🤣
I like the advice on setting a time limit/ starting just above your comfort level/ and starting with the non dominant limbs
What a surprise to know this was the man blasting on King of All Kings. What a legend.
Derek is such personable, patient and pleasant person! You would never think he plays this violent, dark, evil type of music! 😂LOVE THIS GUY! 🤘🏻🖤🤘🏻
What a gentle giant he is.
He’s only 5,9.5 😂 and fast and fudge.... I’d consider giant as gene hoglen
I'm proud of y'all for putting "A debt owed to the grave" by Revocation in the little intro
Might have something to do with Ash Pearson 🤔
The last tip is the best tip in the internet right now

Happened to me a few times too. Left foot can be a life saver!
I honestly expected him to finish up the faster demonstration, and then say "And here it is THE FASTEST"
can u maybe get danny carey and chris adler to do some lessons? that would kick ass! thanks for uploading drumeo
Omar Peck Danny Carey please! I don't think he's the type to do this but I could be wrong. I would love to see him on here, that much I know.
Danny Carey please

I don't even dream of playing that cleanly

thanks drumeo
Hey! Don't mention it!
Looks like a great instructor
Starting with the kick or the snare seems like a big overlooked topic.
HE IS THE MAN ! EVEN NOWADAYS
I remember from 10 years ago he has a tutorial vid similar and more in depth somewhere out there
I think I’m going to set up home home drum set lefty style. Just to get better.
The nicest person ever to get famous in a band with a name like "Hate Eternal."
How do you break a hole in the space/time continuum? Put Roddy, Kollias and Rudinger in the same room playing blast beats at the same time.
That drumset is goddamn beautiful
Yeah love the flake paint :-)
this guy is a fucking legend. he would be the best dad in the world
ambidextrous drumming... Never thought that way.. totally have a whole new world to explore... Thx
All these dudes are professionals.
how am i finding out just now that derek was in drumeo?
Same here brother
aaand a little faster...my body says nope
Do it slow for long periods of time (I really pushed the limits a while ago, giving each of those coordination and endurance excercises 20 minutes of straight playing it, but 10-15 should be completely fine already), then increase the bpm slowly, about 5 bpm, every three or four days (If you are able to do this excercise daily.

It's also easier with those direct drive pedals.
Gorgeous kit !
This exercise helped a lot
Nice video, thanks for the help!
This guy is the god of the blast
He is,
Inevitable.
I'm a guitar player and a "new" drummer. So Derek uses only the wrist when blast beats right?
I can feel it coming in the air tonight .. dogoodogoodogoodogoodgoodogoodogoo
What 12” china is that above his rack toms? I know he plays Meinl, but that looks like a Sabian Holy China
You're really talented at this :D
Big follower of drumeo, had drumeo edge subscription but its bit expensive, if drumeo gives some good offers it would be great. Thanks.
What do you think is a fair price for the value we provide?
That depends on person to person, I would feel close to 20 to 23 dollars per month is a fair deal, I would love to subscribe back again if I get some better offers just waiting for those!! Thanks for the reply,.. cheers!!!
An annual membership is $197 ($16.41 per month). So now you have no excuses. Also, if you sign up right now you'll get a free practice pad. drumeo.com
What’s the opening song? The one at the very beginning?
So its tom then bass, or snare then bass?
1:18 is like the intro to disasterpiece by slipknot
Exceptional vidd, dropped a like =)
Amazing independence
I bought your book like a hundred years ago! :D
Great exercise!
What were the time limits?
@Drumeo please please invite Mike Portnoy, I think I'm not the only one who wants to see him! Greetings from Peru
Drumeo rocks thanks!
He’s such a dad. 😘
Thank you!!!
🔥🔥🔥🧨
Daddy Derek!👍
The struggles of tryin to blast beats with one foot
start a blackmetal band, and don't duck walk. that's what I did. My band Illithid put out a self-titled, its all 1-foot. its not that fast but it definitely helped develop my 1-foot blasting, which really helped me get to a point where I could bomb-blast really easily, just add the second foot in at the same tempo and boom, you're bomb-blasting.
There's actually 12 possible combinations when talking about limb pairs.
RH LH, RH RF, RH LF
LH RH, LH RF, LH LF
RF LF, RF RH, RF LH
LF RF, LF RH, LF LH
RH = right hand
LH = left hand
RF = right foot
LF = left foot
how is RH LH a blast beat tho?
Roddy rocks !
Awesome
heeeeeeey i think i know that guy!
Expected much more from him.
More out of a 6 minute "quick tips" shoot? His advice is simple and honest.
More advanced i mean.
never seen a metal drummer use coated heads
He is beautiful man..
awsome
On record: Sounds like Satan plays drums. On video: Talks like John Denver.
How is calling him Satan on the drums a compliment?? 🧐
Did DW sent this Champagne sparkle per order? or do they just sent the artist drum sizes etc... but pick a particular color model regardless of the genre of the artist? because it's (at least for me) strange seeing a Thrash, Metal, Hardcore ect... drummer ask for a drum wrapping more associated with a jazz or Big band Gig.
We had to pay to rent it through backline and this is all they had. I like the look of the kit.
They turned the left kick Mic way down
At which part did he explain how to do a blast beat? lmao
Late to the party but...
*OKAY.*
motor lag
with one foot jesus
YALL NEED TO HAVE MATT GREINER!
Master Nøbe GEEZ YES HE'S THE GOD OF DRUMMING
Anybody know the bass drum head for that sound, would love to try that out
I think it's Remo Powerstroke 3. I might be wrong.
Lol that ralph lauren polo
I thought: no way this is a single foot beat...😂
Yo that bass drum sounds like a CoD hitmaker XD
Proof of how difficult it is to play with your weak foot: 4:56 and onwards is really sloppy.
Funny thing that the way he talks and explains reminds a jazz guy...
Hey it's that one dude who didn't make it into Dream Theater!
i dont see any kind of blast beat here
immigrant song ftw
a little faster?? really??
come on, don't be sarcasm.
all those cymbals and they're never used lol
Does he need to hit every cymbal to illustrate the points he's making in this lesson?
Actually I've seen him play and use even more cymbals and like 5 or 6 pedals before in songs, it was ridiculous.
2nd
Not digging the vintage drums in a death metal setup.
first

Theyre for exteme metal
wow a dumb comment by some guy who'd have thought
When are you going to bring on Dirk Verbeuren?
