    Metal drummers: you are awesome. Obviously, when drumming to metal it can feel (and sound) amazing to rip some double bass pedal drum beats or even some blast beats. While metal drummers have some big strengths like hitting hard and having high energy, there are also some mistakes that metal drummers make that can hold them back. So in this drum lesson I'm going too show you how to overcome them!

    The versatility part is so true. I used to only play metal, and I couldn’t really expand into other genres outside of metal and rock. But I started learning funk, jazz, etc, and it not only allowed me to play more genres, but also become more creative with my metal drumming. 💀

    I've been playing drums for a little over two years now and I'm soooohappy you mentioned knowing how to play other genres besides just metal because I so agree!! I'm in a metal band but I still play classic rock, punk and grunge rock on the side when I'm not playing with my bandmates. I can't wait to one day learn jazz and more genres eventually too!!

I completed a lot of iconic metal songs with double bass in this 1 year, but it's always a way to go. As a drummer, versatility plays a major role. We should be able to play every damn genre!!!!

    One thing I am really learning after 10 years and a few studio trips is to not neglect the time and care put into creating fills. Very easy to repeat but take your time and get your basic grooves down then and play around with what comes naturally.

    I have gone from only metal playing to alot of pop now in my new projects and man these are legit!!!!! Having to learn that a fill isn't always necessary was one of my toughest learning points. Now that I am in this pop world more, it seems fills are sparse, and have more "power" or "umph" when they show up in key sections of the song. Thanks as always for the great content Gabe. Cheers!

  • @Kieranh4424

    I think a lot of metal drummers suffer from versatility because of elitism. I know so many people who’s attitude is just “no blasts? No chugs? No demon vocals? Must be pop trash!” Which really annoys me because playing other genres is what can make a drummer even better in their preferred genre. I mean jay Weinberg started as a jazz drummer and is now one of the best metal drummers out there.

      People like that usually dont write very good music either. You should be able to be influenced by everything, not just the rest of the metal scene or whatever scene. Better to go off knowing what you absolutely dont like rather than think you know everything you do like.

    I feel that lack of fill ins. Often i play the same fill in, again and again, because i pushed myself up to 250 BPM with Heel Toe and forgot to work on fill ins or rudiments. Now this is my current challenge and yeah i agree. Matt Halpern is a great example or Alex Rudinger in my opinion. Greetings from germany, alex!

    I was way to reliant on my double bass playing for so many years, which hindered me alot when i was supposed to play other genres.
    After graduation, i bought a new single bass pedal, and havent been playing double bass in over 1.5 years, and have been really working on other genres like jazz, fusion and funk.
    Will probably buy a new double pedal sometime soon, and I think it will be interesting to see how my technique, creativity and level of understanding has progressed!
    Great video!

    I have been learning drums for the last few months. I play Metal guitar so naturally i want to be able to play to the songs i write. I happened to write a slower song, kind of out of norm from most of my riffs. I am learning how to play drums with this song. I am hooked. I started out just using one bass pedal and starting adding double bass to the song. I record drums so i get the bonus of recording then listening to my mistakes. I realized in the moment the fast stuff felt good, was in time , but when i listen back it’s just too much. Less is more sometimes and that’s hard to get into a metal fan’s head😁Think Vinnie Paul. He could go off but he could easily just sit in the pocket and let the groove hit so hard as well🤘🏼

  • @jakeloranger1419
    @jakeloranger1419 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I would add working on internal dynamics, where different limbs play at different volumes. Playing ghost notes on the snare is a good place to start, but playing soft notes on the hi-hat while hitting consistent loud backbeats can really make a groove happening. I saw David Garibaldi at a clinic years ago where he talked about a sort of hierarchy of internal dynamics in funk, R&B and Blues. The snare backbeat is loudest, followed by the kick, then accented notes on the hi-hat, unaccented notes on snare and finally with unaccented notes on hi-hat and ghost notes on snare being the softest. I find it really adds depth to a groove and helps to develop a good pocket feel. It also keeps a player from sounding too robotic by adding emotional tension and release within the groove itself. Matt Halpern is a good example of a player with fast chops and great feel who's constantly creating a sense of ebb and flow through the use of dynamics..

  • @jamesvandread6695

  • @lochlanrivers1021
    @lochlanrivers1021 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I definitely don't soley rely on my double bass pedal, and I have been trying to get double strokes down with my single pedal but it is hard to get the proper technique, also one that suits me and feels good. So definitely need to work a little harder on getting that down, but at least I acknowledge this. Pretty good with dynamics, however, need to work on incorporating dynamics into fills a little more as I usually only do a few accents. But I have started practicing more rudiments and putting those into my fills which has opened up so much more for me. I even came up with 2 or 3 new fills that I absolutely love as they are different and I thought of them. Also trying to work on less "straight" fills which this also helps with. Instead of 4s or 8s etc. Doing 3s and 6s, sounds so much different. RRL is a new favourite of mine to move around the kit. And even RRLK is cool to make it more straight or even. Even tried to play 16ths obut do it as RRL try it, it's difficult but sounds so cool and brings a whole new feel to it

    @keithalbaniskickdrum 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Jeez, I think I got to say that I'm actually so overloaded with returning to the kit after a 15 year break, that it's a huge construction site. I think one of my biggest issues is that all this time off "my" kit and tinkering on other kits.... kind of led to a dominant right hand as a left hander. (every freaking body is right handed...so when you get on someones' kit....yup, right handed) So what I find myself doing is firstly: seriously contemplating going center hats, open handed. Next, with a huge foot focus recently, I forgot all about the power of ghost notes. Thanks again... you just remind me day in and day out to never give up man.

    For me I think Mario Duplantier (Gojira) epitomizes the quintessential modern day drummer. Precise, hard hitting but not sounding robotic. Odd note groups, orchestration around the kit, tons of ghost notes, good at double as well as single pedal, dynamics you name it.

    • @kevinwhite6176
      @kevinwhite6176 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I wanted to say the same thing. He can lock in with machine-gun double kicks with the rest of the band and somehow it feels like it flows instead of just pummels. Brann Dailor is also another extreme feel drummer - kind of the opposite of Duplantier in that Dailor loves his snare.

      I can relate...small kits are not for me. I can tear up a 3 or 4 piece, don't get me wrong, but I much prefer a 9+ piece (always with 2 kick drums, never double pedals) and an assload of cymbals 🤘

      Small kits limit your overall sound and leaves your overall drumming feel empty like something not all there because you are missing beats. The bigger your kit and true double bass gives you more to play with and do more within the entire song.

    You need to address how people set their sets up. I saw a clip of the kick pedal beater coming back and hitting the shin........

    Man if you dont know him already, check out chris turner, talk about ghost notes and groove, also zero drum samples needed. His producer said even -2db of compression could destroy his performance

    I know this isn’t *always* the case… but I think it’s worth the mention that the majority of metal drums these days is sampled on record… at least for non-label bands cause it’s cheaper to sample midi.
    The studio is the best place to learn your own strengths and weaknesses

    I think my main issue here is not being able to play as well without double kicks. I'm getting better at it now thanks to playing a lot more pop, disco and funk over the last year, but it's definitely a problem.

    I rock 2 bass drums so TECHNICALLY I play a single pedal on each side 😜
    But seriously, I need to build that single kick style up a lot. I do a lot of closed hi hat stuff, so my single kick needs some improvement to give the beats some more razzle dazzle.
