@kevinparadisdrummer do you prefer the weight of the iron cobra beaters over the stock ones? i got the trick pedal too and and they do feel a little lighter
Nice drumming but you should pay a little more attention to your double bass playing! It sounded a bit off at times. Excellent playing otherwise, kicks ass!
Great cover man! But I think your missing some snare hits during the chorus? Pretty sure theres ment to be a triplet or two in there if I recall correct. Either way awesome shit man!
You are a good drummer but I would strongly suggest work on your double bass. It just seems like its not as even as it should be or sometimes doesn't start out as strong. But other than that keep it up! Good drumming!!
Hi @InsertNameHere500 ! Maybe you don't enough use your finger and your wrist. Even is Shannon Lucas is a kickass drummer, I think he use to much his arm (it's the same thing for Alex Pelletier). Other drummer don't use enough their arms, so you have to find a use as much as possible your arms, but also your finger and your wrist. Try to do long period of stroke at 220 bpm (like 2min non-stop). If it is to hard, try to do long period at 200 or 180 bpm.
@kevinparadisdrummer ya i can use my fingers and i practice on one hand sometimes, but when im playing, i dont know why, i just cant use my fingers. but thanks for the advice!
@InsertNameHere500 - If you are able to do 2min at 180bpm, and not at 200 or 220, try to do 5min at 180, then 3min at 200, and finally 2min at 220. Also don't forget to practice one hand only.
Little tip! Don´t hit the Paiste Flanger Bell on the part where it goes up! It will crack really fast! Myne brock that way! I loved this cymbal so much it was fuckin looouuud!
WHY the fuck do people think TRIGGERS r bad?? THEY r for concerts and shit so people can HEAR your dam drums.....DUHHHH!!!!! people r retarded!!! its like a LOUD ASS sterio for your drums.
@BustYourBallsMetalXD I don't think that trigger are bad....Trigger don't allowed certain kind of drumming, and that I why I don't use trigger. In the music I play everyday, with my band, trigger should not be very great. Remember that it's a cover video, not a video of my music. I totaly understand people whom use trigger, but I prefer using microphones. In fact, I'm happy with the fact that I play my drums, and not some sample.
@BustYourBallsMetalXD Moreover, you can made a very good drums sound, in concert, without any trigger. Using trigger in order to make the sound is just easier. The last thing is that with trigger, you don't need to give a lot of power to your beater, so it's easier to play. I just think that it's a good challenge to play without trigger, and to include some groove part in your drumming, and that's not possible with trigger. But that's only MY way of playing drums, not the only way.
@BustYourBallsMetalXD To conclude, I want to say that trigger can be very useful. It's really a great tool, but today I prefer using microphone, for the reason I said.
Hi ItalianAvalanche ! Yes sometime it is hard to find a good trigger sound. But you know, today you have some really great trigger sound, and also, some trigger sound are very jazzy ! I've hear about Jazz drummer whom use trigger ! Well I don't use trigger also because I like my bass drum... it's a Pearl Masterwork, and I want to use it !
@BustYourBallsMetalXD Not really. No one ever has trouble hearing bass drums at a concert. They use them mainly to have a more uniform sound. Especially with very fast double bass some hits of the drum won't be as hard as others and it won't sound as nice. Triggers won't make you a better drummer but it will sound a bit cleaner.
Hi @Scottdvz ! You're right... It is hard to keep your drumming clean without trigger. But I really want to keep a great dynamic range, and a great sound range, that's why I don't use trigger, and that's why I work a lot to clean up my double bass drum without trigger, and in a acoustic context.
@BustYourBallsMetalXD because they don´t know shit about playing drums and think that triggers make you faster. i tried to tell the people that the shit you play has to be played at the bpm you can hear on the album, with or without triggers. they don´t get it...
Hi @NeAerA90 ! I agree with that, but your forget that without trigger, you have to play with a constant power, and to take care of your sound. It mean that you can"t set your beater near to the drumhead for example. I completely respect the work and the drumming of guy whom use trigger (if their kind of drumming justify to use trigger), but it's a little harder to play without trigger.
@kevinparadisdrummer J'suis d'accord que sur la constance au niveau du volume et de la puissance des impacts, les triggers sont un gros plus. Par contre tu oublies de mentionner que la moindre erreur qui serait passée plus ou moins inaperçue à la grosse caisse ressort énormément si la grosse caisse est triggé. Enfin bref tout ça pour dire qu'il n'y a pas que des avantages non plus ...
@PlugThePull Je ne suis pas certain. En studio avec la quantification, tout est en place en un instant. Ensuite, quand le son est bien fait, que ça soit avec un trigger ou un micro, ça s'entend... Je trouve que ce débat trigger/micro est souvent inutile. Un trigger rends vraiment les choses plus faciles, pour le batteur, et pour faire le son, et c'est pour ça qu'on en utilise, mais ça veut pas dire que c'est nul ! Je n'y suis pas opposé, mais pour l'instant, j'essaie de faire sans.
@vengance9888 Definitively, you don't understand what we are saying about trigger. It's not a matter of saying it is bad... You can have both a good sound with mic and trigger.... If a sound engineer can't have a good sound with a mic, he is'nt a good sound engineer. I'm not against trigger, but I prefer to use a mic for the reason I've ever said. Trigger is something that make the sound for you, and something that erase all mistake link to the power, so yes, it is a great tool.
people the cd was only released about 3 weeks ago and you are judging him playing a song by one of the most intense drummers out there? give the mann a break he did brilliant!
@Pokemaniac9510 ummmm no, it wasnt. it was released on june 21st. only a few months ago. please get your facts straight before trying to argue, only making an ass of yourself. ty and have a good day
Nice Paiste combo! So glad they brought the 2002 series back. I recommend a 22 NOVO if you ever want to get another cymbal addition - best cymbal I ever played for mellower, smoother and richer china sounds.
Very nice cover. The only reason im watching this is because i discovered this band 1 day ago and i decided i wanted to cover this song. I'm just here to check out the competition :P. Could be tighter, but really good effort bro!
i wanted to say that it's a good cover but you should practise the fast double bass parts, but you beards is just so fuckin epic that i have no right to say anything against the video
@immortallic666 did i say the video is bad ? no, he really did a good job, it's just the foot practising just like me (and others too) said.
so why calling me an ignorant fuck ? for giving the man some honest and sincere critic and a compliment about his awsome (!) beard ? and giving a critic has not to say that i'm better, my god, first think then write but yeah, maybe i'll upload a cover too in a few months
Hmm i like this vid otherwise, but the way you take a "pause" for the bass pedals at the speed parts kinda bugs me, it breaks the rhytmh and makes it sound half-way done... are you still practicing your footwork or why is it so?
Hi @NoktemAeternus ! For the bass drum pedal, it depend of the tempo you want to reach, and if you use trigger. If you want to reach tempo like 280bpm (and on period of 4bar and more), you will need spring tight at maximum and beater at 15/19cm from the drumhead, with trigger or without trigger. If you want to reach tempo like 230bpm with trigger, I think you don't need to set the beater at 15/19cm, but you can set it at 8/12cm.
@kevinparadisdrummer Not true. If you wanna play on extreme tempos i think the only thing you need is a direct drive pedal and a fairly tight spring. And your double bass is not really tight, sorry!
Well I think you have just not understand what I mean... I you want to play extrem tempo on short period you are'nt forced to use the hardest setting. For example, Alex Pelletier can play short period at 280bpm, and he set his beater near to the bass drum head. Also, be sure that I agree with you : to play long period at 280, and without trigger, it is necessary to have tight spring and a beater at 15/20cm from the drum head.
To conclude, my setting are very hard, springs tight at maximum etc... but I know that I need more practice. Trick pedal are harder to play than Axis (but they have more power) and I don't use trigger, so for me, it is a little harder to play fast. It is a great challenge, and be sure that I will practice a lot, until my double bass drum become tight !
@kevinparadisdrummer Same for me. I use Axis pedals, and during one winter of practice and now i have been practicing very hard and it really comes fast with the time. I'd bet my max speed is around 220-230bpm now and before that i barely did any DB at all. I tried to play with max tightened springs for a while, but i felt it was sloppy and tried to put my springs to 50% tension and it was like clockwork. Try it yourself!
@sebbimon Yeah sometimes it help to use softer setting. My right foot can play 8 bar at 250bpm, but my left have some problem even at slower tempo like 200 (and it became really hard at 220), and that why my double bass drum is not very tight on this video, but I'm working hard on my left foot, and I hope I will be able to play 8bar double bass drum at 250 in about two month.
If your are playing without trigger, you will need to set the beater at 15cm minimum, in order to have enough power to make the bass drum sound great. My rack is a Pearl rack, I don't know exactly how much it is in this configuration, but something around 350€
@kevinparadisdrummer sweet, thanks for the reply. Really enjoy your videos, your day of morning cover was fantastic. Was trick your first choice of direct drive?
Hi @BurnThePope0514 ! No, my first choice was Axis longboard double pedal, but they had not enough power to play without trigger. Also, it was not reliable ! Trick pedals are a little more difficult to play, but they had more power, so it is perfect to play without trigger, and to keep some nuance in your playing.
Kevin, you guys are brutal<3 i can't wait to see you guys when you come down to florida for summer slaughter. I'm totally going to smoke you guys out.
@maikweinhardt stfu. nobody starts out perfect. to sit here and say he sucks really pisses me off. fuck you. without people trying to learn there would be no metal. and its hard to learn when people sit there saying you suck. you sounds like a stuck up little pric. stfu cause you couldnt do any better. now go suck your own little dick and shut your mouth. fag
Hey, man, great video; great drummer. Keep up the great videos (good choice of music ^^) Just wanted to ask you how long did it take you to get to thos double bass speeds? Thanks, hope you reply. :3
@kevinparadisdrummer Thanks for replying, man, and wow. You've gone far in a year. Props to you. You look like a classic metal head and play like one. I wish you the best of luck with further videos and thanks, again, for replying. ^^
HI @TrSYeTi ! Don't worry, it's no problem ! I am really not into hell-toe technique, because I don't use trigger, and I find that this technique don't give enough power, but I'm still working on my double bass drum technique !
Hey boss what size is that Paiste China on the far left? And what's that absolutely fantastic sounding cymbal on the far right side? (it appears to have some kind of pattern on it)
Hi @DucaleEfston ! it is a Paiste signature Reflector Thin China 18", and the cymbal on the right on this video is a Paiste signature flanger bell. Two insane cymbal !
Hi @drumerdude5656 ! What's the problem ? If you you watched again the video, you can see that I play double bass drum just before that. You have to know that my bass drum pedal is a Trick Pro V1, and that it has a direct link. So when you play it once time, the pedal continue to move a little during about 10 s.
@kevinparadisdrummer I can vouch for this. Though I just sent my bigfoots in for repair =/ I have to go back to using my DW 2002's while they're gone D:
What happened was the left pedal started... scraping? Feel and sound. It was just slower and made an unhealthy noise. Plus both footboards were loose and clicked about. =( Also the linkage's U joint on the left side had some serious friction in it.
How long have you had yours? And why do you choose the middle setting on the pedals? I tend to use the speed setting with tight springs. Any advice to get faster? I can only hit 180-190 comfy.
I have change my footboards something like 14 month ago, but I have to change them again ! In fact, the bearing of the heelblock moves a little, and I fear to broke the direct link if it get worthier ! But whatever, all bass drums pedal become damaged, and I'm pretty happy with the reliability of the Trick pedal.
I have choose the middle setting because I fear to damaged faster the direct link if i use the lower one (alway because of my footboard). I also tight the springs at maximum.
Alway keep in mind that it is great to work on short period (like one, two or four bar), and on long period (like 5min). Try to play double bass drum at 150 or 160 during 5min, and to play a lot of short period between 180 and 200. Also, don't forget to work your foot alone.
@kevinparadisdrummer I'd be interested in a video on technique from you for sure! =D
But I've heard about George Kollias' DVD and I'm tempted to order it. I need to get a practice pad for my pedals so I can practice at later times in the night - especially when I move into my dorm at college.
Hopefully when I get my pedals back, they'll be as good as new! Thank you for the advice and for your time. I love your videos, and I hope to see more.
@FUPAsteve Be careful in the choice of your bass drum practice pad ! I have the Gibraltar bass drum practice pad, but it made a lot of noise ! I think a will buy a cheap tom, converted it to a small bass drum, and put some mesh drumhead.... Don't worry about the video. Now, I'm recording Dead Talking Mind first album, and then I will do some video, maybe of Black Valor drum cover, and Nile drum cover.
Hey, man, I just wanted to stop by and say that you're great; you got that classic metal look, play the metal, and you seem nice aswell. Rock on keep blasting. ^^
@kevinparadisdrummer do you prefer the weight of the iron cobra beaters over the stock ones? i got the trick pedal too and and they do feel a little lighter

so why calling me an ignorant fuck ? for giving the man some honest and sincere critic and a compliment about his awsome (!) beard ? and giving a critic has not to say that i'm better, my god, first think then write but yeah, maybe i'll upload a cover too in a few months

good hand technique, awesome one foot blast , sloppy double bass,
overall: quite good cover, but practise foot timing
themagicman98 7 months ago
Hmm i like this vid otherwise, but the way you take a "pause" for the bass pedals at the speed parts kinda bugs me, it breaks the rhytmh and makes it sound half-way done... are you still practicing your footwork or why is it so?

how would you recommend setting up your bass pedals for music like this, and how much was the rack
NoktemAeternus 7 months ago
Hi @NoktemAeternus ! For the bass drum pedal, it depend of the tempo you want to reach, and if you use trigger. If you want to reach tempo like 280bpm (and on period of 4bar and more), you will need spring tight at maximum and beater at 15/19cm from the drumhead, with trigger or without trigger. If you want to reach tempo like 230bpm with trigger, I think you don't need to set the beater at 15/19cm, but you can set it at 8/12cm.

@kevinparadisdrummer
hm, i can never find a comfortable setting on my pedals, so thanks for the ideas.ill play with them later and see if it helps any.

@kevinparadisdrummer Not true. If you wanna play on extreme tempos i think the only thing you need is a direct drive pedal and a fairly tight spring. And your double bass is not really tight, sorry!
sebbimon 6 months ago
Well I think you have just not understand what I mean... I you want to play extrem tempo on short period you are'nt forced to use the hardest setting. For example, Alex Pelletier can play short period at 280bpm, and he set his beater near to the bass drum head. Also, be sure that I agree with you : to play long period at 280, and without trigger, it is necessary to have tight spring and a beater at 15/20cm from the drum head.
kevinparadisdrummer 6 months ago
To conclude, my setting are very hard, springs tight at maximum etc... but I know that I need more practice. Trick pedal are harder to play than Axis (but they have more power) and I don't use trigger, so for me, it is a little harder to play fast. It is a great challenge, and be sure that I will practice a lot, until my double bass drum become tight !
Have a good gay !
kevinparadisdrummer 6 months ago
@kevinparadisdrummer Same for me. I use Axis pedals, and during one winter of practice and now i have been practicing very hard and it really comes fast with the time. I'd bet my max speed is around 220-230bpm now and before that i barely did any DB at all. I tried to play with max tightened springs for a while, but i felt it was sloppy and tried to put my springs to 50% tension and it was like clockwork. Try it yourself!
sebbimon 6 months ago
@sebbimon Yeah sometimes it help to use softer setting. My right foot can play 8 bar at 250bpm, but my left have some problem even at slower tempo like 200 (and it became really hard at 220), and that why my double bass drum is not very tight on this video, but I'm working hard on my left foot, and I hope I will be able to play 8bar double bass drum at 250 in about two month.
kevinparadisdrummer 6 months ago
If your are playing without trigger, you will need to set the beater at 15cm minimum, in order to have enough power to make the bass drum sound great. My rack is a Pearl rack, I don't know exactly how much it is in this configuration, but something around 350€
kevinparadisdrummer 7 months ago
@kevinparadisdrummer sweet, thanks for the reply. Really enjoy your videos, your day of morning cover was fantastic. Was trick your first choice of direct drive?
BurnThePope0514 7 months ago
Hi @BurnThePope0514 ! No, my first choice was Axis longboard double pedal, but they had not enough power to play without trigger. Also, it was not reliable ! Trick pedals are a little more difficult to play, but they had more power, so it is perfect to play without trigger, and to keep some nuance in your playing.

drumerdude5656 7 months ago
Hi @drumerdude5656 ! What's the problem ? If you you watched again the video, you can see that I play double bass drum just before that. You have to know that my bass drum pedal is a Trick Pro V1, and that it has a direct link. So when you play it once time, the pedal continue to move a little during about 10 s.
kevinparadisdrummer 7 months ago
@kevinparadisdrummer I can vouch for this. Though I just sent my bigfoots in for repair =/ I have to go back to using my DW 2002's while they're gone D:
FUPAsteve 7 months ago
Hi @FUPAsteve ! What was the probleme with them ? I have some problem with the footboard, and I have to change them about every year.
kevinparadisdrummer 7 months ago
@kevinparadisdrummer Every year?! =O
What happened was the left pedal started... scraping? Feel and sound. It was just slower and made an unhealthy noise. Plus both footboards were loose and clicked about. =( Also the linkage's U joint on the left side had some serious friction in it.
How long have you had yours? And why do you choose the middle setting on the pedals? I tend to use the speed setting with tight springs. Any advice to get faster? I can only hit 180-190 comfy.
FUPAsteve 7 months ago
@FUPAsteve
I have change my footboards something like 14 month ago, but I have to change them again ! In fact, the bearing of the heelblock moves a little, and I fear to broke the direct link if it get worthier ! But whatever, all bass drums pedal become damaged, and I'm pretty happy with the reliability of the Trick pedal.
kevinparadisdrummer 7 months ago
I have choose the middle setting because I fear to damaged faster the direct link if i use the lower one (alway because of my footboard). I also tight the springs at maximum.
Alway keep in mind that it is great to work on short period (like one, two or four bar), and on long period (like 5min). Try to play double bass drum at 150 or 160 during 5min, and to play a lot of short period between 180 and 200. Also, don't forget to work your foot alone.
kevinparadisdrummer 7 months ago
For example, you can play blast beat with your left foot at 170 during two minutes, and then, do the same thing with your right foot at 190.
Don't to forget to watch George Kollias DVD, there are some advice to keep in mind !
If some people ask me, I can also made a video with my own exercice
kevinparadisdrummer 7 months ago
@kevinparadisdrummer I'd be interested in a video on technique from you for sure! =D
But I've heard about George Kollias' DVD and I'm tempted to order it. I need to get a practice pad for my pedals so I can practice at later times in the night - especially when I move into my dorm at college.
Hopefully when I get my pedals back, they'll be as good as new! Thank you for the advice and for your time. I love your videos, and I hope to see more.
FUPAsteve 7 months ago
@FUPAsteve Be careful in the choice of your bass drum practice pad ! I have the Gibraltar bass drum practice pad, but it made a lot of noise ! I think a will buy a cheap tom, converted it to a small bass drum, and put some mesh drumhead.... Don't worry about the video. Now, I'm recording Dead Talking Mind first album, and then I will do some video, maybe of Black Valor drum cover, and Nile drum cover.
