@Gregtendon - If you have any ear for groove-based, latin and jazz music, you'd know that he simply DOESN'T. He fakes the other stuff....his playing on other genres is laughable....he's just a fast death-metal drummer.
i know he's not a pocket drummer. i listen to jazz stuff, but i also listen to serpents rise. i know how roddy usually plays, so im just complimenting on the fact that a death-core drummer tried something new and didn't fail miserably.
You called Derek Roddy a deathcore drummer? First epic fail, because he is a death metal drummer. And there are more death metal drummers (Sean Reinert, Kai Haito, etc..), who play jazz or have jazz as an influence in their playing.
jesus christ, this guy's arrogant...i just checked out the Jazz/swing video he made....that was some of the worst jazz drumming i've ever heard in my life...what douche to make that vid....as far as this video, i thought it said "groove." where the HELL is the pocket? this is such shitty (albeit clean and fast) playing.
no...not "no matter what." just THIS guy's groove sucks ass....it's terrible. I actually regularly take a jazz gig with a guy who doubles in a metal group and he swings his ass off....he can hit a really tight shuffle groove, too. dude, look up the clave video that's in here....i explain myself well there. (or don't....i really couldn't give a shit whether you understand me or not) - i'm not automatically biased....i just call shit "shit" when i see it.
@asphixa - I can and i do. I take it back, okay? He tries to play other things and i guess that deserves credit....most people wouldn't do it so publicly; especially since they do it so poorly. That said: GOOD TRY, DEREK. I wouldnt let your playing NEAR some of the stuff we produce, though...sorry. I think the thing that irks me is how his devoted followers will actually consider this to be strong, musical drumming. It's not....it's a chops show.....
genres like jazz or blues takes a lifetime to 'master' I guess. I'm in a metal band also but before that I was studying music at school.. so I don't know if I'm rly good at playing jazz, Probably not, but at least I try and I do like jazz alot, but also death metal and many other genres too =) What stuff btw? I would like to hear some of your tunes
If u have a music degree, then you completely understand when i say that mastery is a myth. If you LISTEN to a lot of jazz....absorb tony williams, bill stewart, etc, u can feel it. This guy reminds me of the players who just check styles off some absurd "abilities" list...after listening to his swing and "clave" work, i'm convinced he just doesn't spend enough time RESPECTING what he tries in vain to understand....as far as me, i produce records and have a song catalog..and play jazz guitar
@somebodyjones2 I do not have a music degree yet. I'm at an academy for now and this summer I will do an exam for a conservatory (lemmens). I understand what you mean, but you can't be sure of that. I'm not a drummer and I do not really know what it takes to be a really good jazz drummer, so I will stay out of that topic
@asphixa - good for you, man. Keep working toward it...and be sure to keep your ears OPEN. the basic point i'm making is that playing well in a genre starts with respect for the genre and develops into love for it...when that love is there and the knowledge of how to do what everyone before you has done, THEN you start getting good...your playing grows in intensity..and YOUR voice develops...it takes commitment and that's what a lot of drummers aren't willing to give it.
@somebodyjones2 Yea, I know it takes a lot of dedication.. I know lots of guitar players throwing the theory away and try to be the fastest guitarist out there, which I think is kinda rediculous
and im' sure with the heavily critical nature of the commentary i leave on material, you'd understand that i'm not going to open myself up to the "spite criticism" that would ensue by naming some of the work that i do specifically...though it IS globally available.
Ok look I've been a bashing asswipe and wrong about being caustic and rudt all the metal lovers and derek roddy. I want to apologize to everyvody that I have offended and I won't be doing this anymore. Sorry and Peace.
Melissa cross? Don't know her and you're avpoiding your band and recording contract search. But who cares what melissa's vocals require? They don't sound good period if she's the cookie monster style teacher. She did luck out and reach a sucker's market though. Yeas and jazz was always associated w/strip clubs prostituion and heroin addiction + reefer and alchohol. So? At least the patrons got tohear something worthwhile while they were coaxed or teased into something else whilst.
So it's okay for jazz to be associated with prostitution and drugs, but metal's not okay because it's associated with violence? That's the message I'm getting from you.
Your opinions aren't facts. Did someone forget to tell you?
Or prostitution or adultery or drug usage...my point was that the "implications" of certain types of music don't make them bad and shouldn't prohibit us from listening.
Music or any other stereotype 'gateway' never directly leads into violence or other crimes. You think all those killers and school-shooters are doing it because they like Cannibal Corpse lyrics? They're initially fucked up in their heads, their music, video games or movies have NOTHING to do with their mental illness. NOT A SINGLE THING.
I actually tried to find your previous comment but no avail. So, my apologies for kinda taking you outta context.
But I still can't understand how all those dumb people think METAL is violence.
For what I have seen, kids who listen to Rap are all about being a tough guy and messing stuff around, where as metalheads are more of a meek, peace-loving kind. There's exceptions, yes, but I have observed this many times throughout my life.
@Arthemesic Crazy people will be crazy people, that's the truth. If you already have a sufficiently fucked-up moral compass to commit horrible crimes, you're bound to do it regardless of what habits you happen to have.
"LEADS" to violence? I know i'm late for the party here, but.....wha? seriously? Put some responsibility on the violent people themselves. Waking up in the morning and not having enough milk for your Cheerios can lead to violence for some people....
Let me ask you this? should these things that you believe "lead to violence" be controlled/stopped?
I have read all your comments so far. So you say that Derek Roddy doesn't respect Jazz, his playing on other genres is laughable and that he fakes the other stuff. I am sorry but this is just plain bullshit. He isn't the best jazz drummer out there, but he is still amazing.
okay, funnyhell666. all i'm saying is it's obvious that he really doesn't listen to jazz because he doesn't FEEL jazz in his jazz playing. it doesn't come out. maybe "respect" was misinterpreted, but i meant develop a love for....which he really doesn't play like he has...he's talented enough that it WOULD come out if he did.
and i'm going to have to disagree with you here: he doesn't amaze me.
opinions,...they're like assholes; everyone has one and they all stink. :)
Well. derek roddy has some videos jamming with jazz drummers (he has a lot of jazz drummers as friends) and he has fun in this videos. I wouldn't judge him by watching one video.
No I use the portrait of violence to point out that this music is the perfect background to it.Perhaps it is actually an inciting force to street riots or could be used for it. I think it has that potential for that type communication strongly. What are the cookie monster (singers? hah) lyrics saying? Is it viloent misogynistic raplike stuff?
Inciting violence? Perhaps. Then again, jazz could be correlated to prostitution and strip clubs.
By the way, Melissa Cross has developed a full curriculum for the "screaming" style of singing. It's legit and it takes as much technique as clean vocals.
Do you have a major hard-on for the cookie monster or something?
no it isn't. in nile's case (with whom derek roddy used to play) it's about ancient egyptian mythology. only chris barnes sings about violence against women (not anymore though) and it's still not like rap. anyway, the majority of metalheads are WAY too smart to be incited too stupid, pointless violence by music. the effects of extreme music are of a cathartic nature.
Ever heard of pornogrind? Everything is about violence to women. And it's funny. And no one gives a shit. Neither should you. I love lyrics about violence. Ever read Carcass' Corporal Jigsore Quandary? It's awesome.
yeah, heard of it, but never bothered reading the lyrics. i could argue, that porngrind is grindcore and not death metal, but it doesn't matter, really. nile has interesting lyrics which are not about violence against women (though they're still violent), that's what I wanted to say. but the "rap like" thing was actually bothering me the most. How is violence against women so different than violence against men? either is wrong, though I still like to read about it, no idea why. CARCASS RULES!!!
Yeah but it doesn't include the cookie monster death metal thing and it never will. Go overturn police cars and burn em if you hjave unchecked hostility. Or better yet get in a ring. You'' ll feel a lot better after and won't be thinking of musical violence. Ugly stuff.
So you think breaking shit is more acceptable than listening to metal? You're one sick, messed up dude. Sorry if the rest of us don't release our emotions by being an asshole like you do.
Just that he's on the right track here. Weird to waana play metal garbage ever when you can be on the right track. Also if I want to make an ass of myself as you claim it's my perogative
Do you think I really care if drummers want to waste their time playing asshole metal garbage. But excuse the fuck out of me when i say "weird indeed"
Roddy usually likes to do "asshole metal garbage" as you so eloquently stated, which elevates my opinion of him. He does what he wants, not what other people want.
His official statement basically said that after 3 years of work and touring the amount of money he ended up with ($600 ish) was scarcely justifiable and he couldn't maintain life back home off pennies. It's a completely fair shout to be honest.
Really people stop comparing death metal drumming to jazz and funk drumming. Because a Jazz/funk drummer usually cant play death metal, and a death metal drummer usually can't play jazz and funk, except for the amazing drummers like Derek Roddy. It really takes alot of talent to play more than one style. I personally do metal drumming and i just can't follow a beat like this.
I don't wanna sound offensive, but why don't just learn how to play jazz oder funk ? The basics aren't that hard and it really will improve your style and play.
i was gona say derek roddy is shit he can only play fast blast beats but this video suprised me and proved me wrong. not only is he one of the fastest drummers ever he is also very creative.
Derek must laugh pretty hard when he reads these comments, about how "Yeah, it's pretty good, but...." how he uses effects and all that nonsense. I play drums, by the way, and this dude is an interesting player. No effects--period. But if it pushes you to be lazy players by imagining or supposing, rather than playing evil, then do your worst.
i agree on the cool seeing a metal drummer do something else part, however "that noise" also happens to take alot of skill and coordination. I know alot of players such as myself learn how to go fast on double bass and hit things on time. But this guys metal drumming has alot mroe to it tahn noise.
this guys got mad skill i love derek for life his jazzy metalhead style is amazing any1 who thinks he sucks can go eat **** and produce a better drummer remember progresive music is more skill then rythem so dont give me a crapy rythematic drummer
Hahaha, what happened at the end? It looks like he just popped out of his drumming dreamworld or something, hahaha, he's grooving and doing amazing, then all the sudden he completely stops as if he lost it! Hahaha, great grooving though, this guy really is the complete package, a death metal drummer that completely defy's all of the ignorant stereotypes labeled on DM drummers because of their speed.
jonny jm.. name me 3 death metal drummers?? if u cant then u dont know shit about death metal drummers.. death metal drummers is all about speed,control, technique... and they get their basic knowledge from jazz players.. so in other words.. death metal drummers are like jazz drummmers but on tweak..
So - let me guess, Sardonic667 - you're basing his drumming on this video alone (which, btw, is awesomely cool latin-infused patterns that are apparently TEN MILES the fuck above your narrow-minded, Travis-Barker-up-the-ass excuse for a FUCKING BRAIN). Oh well.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
i really dont care if you think im full of shit. its my opinion. this piece of shit derek roddy cant make me change my mind about it either. he sucks.
wow you either arent a drummer, you are pulling everyones leg right now and just trying to piss ppl off, or you are the biggest dipshit I have ever seen post on youtube, even someone who doesnt like his style cant say that he sucks, thats just pure ignorance and stupidity. Plus you sound like a fuckin Moron Sardonic 667
I think Joey Jordison is an excellent drummer. But there are many other metal drummers that blow him out of the water on a technical level. That's the problem with these types of vids, and it goes for guitar vids too. Just because someone's not the best, he all of a sudden can't play for shit. It's like people complain that Romain Goulon sounds a lot like Derek Roddy. Who gives a shit, they both slay, and I think it's great that there are enough amazing musicians out there to be able to
fill all the spots needed in insane metal bands. Saying that Joey Jordison sucks at drums is like saying that, well, say, Flea sucks at bass because he can't slap as fast as Victor Wooten, or that Steve Vai blows dick at guitar because Shawn Lane can alternate pick faster. Grow the fuck up and realize that it isn't a contest, and that there is plenty of room in this world for as many amazing musicians as the world has to offer. I listen to mostly death metal but Dave Grohl is one of my
favorite drummers. I just like the way he hits really hard and comes up with heavy sounding drums without resorting to blast beats and shit. Do I think Shannon Lucas is awesome? Fuck yeah. Just grow up and learn to embrace everything. Read these from the bottom comment to the top, by the way, they weren't supposed to lay out like this.
amazing just no other way of saying it

His official statement basically said that after 3 years of work and touring the amount of money he ended up with ($600 ish) was scarcely justifiable and he couldn't maintain life back home off pennies. It's a completely fair shout to be honest.

Derek is awesome!
Really people stop comparing death metal drumming to jazz and funk drumming. Because a Jazz/funk drummer usually cant play death metal, and a death metal drummer usually can't play jazz and funk, except for the amazing drummers like Derek Roddy. It really takes alot of talent to play more than one style. I personally do metal drumming and i just can't follow a beat like this.

I don't wanna sound offensive, but why don't just learn how to play jazz oder funk ? The basics aren't that hard and it really will improve your style and play.

Derek must laugh pretty hard when he reads these comments, about how "Yeah, it's pretty good, but...." how he uses effects and all that nonsense. I play drums, by the way, and this dude is an interesting player. No effects--period. But if it pushes you to be lazy players by imagining or supposing, rather than playing evil, then do your worst.

if it wasn't, there'd be no ghost tones on his snare. ha. I think he uses mics most of the time anyways. But to answer you, no it's not triggers

I really think it's cool how we're seeing a metal drummer do some nonmetal styles. Finally something more than noise and a double pedal.

Well, considering that the noise is really just hats on the fourth notes and snare on the 1's and 3's, it's really nothing, dumbass.

i agree on the cool seeing a metal drummer do something else part, however "that noise" also happens to take alot of skill and coordination. I know alot of players such as myself learn how to go fast on double bass and hit things on time. But this guys metal drumming has alot mroe to it tahn noise.

I think Joey Jordison is an excellent drummer. But there are many other metal drummers that blow him out of the water on a technical level. That's the problem with these types of vids, and it goes for guitar vids too. Just because someone's not the best, he all of a sudden can't play for shit. It's like people complain that Romain Goulon sounds a lot like Derek Roddy. Who gives a shit, they both slay, and I think it's great that there are enough amazing musicians out there to be able to
markasstrick84 3 years ago 2
fill all the spots needed in insane metal bands. Saying that Joey Jordison sucks at drums is like saying that, well, say, Flea sucks at bass because he can't slap as fast as Victor Wooten, or that Steve Vai blows dick at guitar because Shawn Lane can alternate pick faster. Grow the fuck up and realize that it isn't a contest, and that there is plenty of room in this world for as many amazing musicians as the world has to offer. I listen to mostly death metal but Dave Grohl is one of my

favorite drummers. I just like the way he hits really hard and comes up with heavy sounding drums without resorting to blast beats and shit. Do I think Shannon Lucas is awesome? Fuck yeah. Just grow up and learn to embrace everything. Read these from the bottom comment to the top, by the way, they weren't supposed to lay out like this.
