"oh nooo! A metal drummer that can groove, all my arguments are now invalid and i have to admit that he's actually an insanely talented individual" Thats what all the metal haters are thinking right now. So fuck you metal haters.
You Know what I would love. We all know Roddy can play fusion and groove like hell but everyone thinks all he can do is blast. I say he needs to be Portnoy's temporary replacement in Dream Theater (I am holding out hope for MP's return). Then there would be no doubt about his Poly rythms not to mention the dimension his speed would bring to them behind the Shredding of Petrucci and Rudess. Just My Opinion.
this is exactly why i love joey jordison. derek roddy is a heavy metal drummer who has technical and groove skills. just like joey and people are always like. OHH hes a fuckin little gorilla all he can do is slam the drums... GO FUCK YOURSELF
wow. a metal/hardcore drummer finally displaying technical skills instead of just playing 1000bpm. good post here. there is far more to being a good drummer then playing fast. this guy is good
Seriously man, Check out all of Dereks work. His grooves are tasty and well placed in everything he does. When he kicks it up a notch and does do blast beat work and fast double kick patterns, he is almost flawless. Derek is not a drummer, hes a musician and a fkn brilliant one.
i know people like this kinda drumming more but frankly i like the sounds of 113871349794739 bpm this is really good just not my style your the type of idiot who limits what he likes or can do by classical theory noone cares about technical skills if it sounds good it it sounds good theres just a really washy sound without the triggers
If they did decide to pair up and do a clinic, they would probably have the largest crowd any clinic has ever seen. You would be a fool to miss something like that..even if you didnt like metal.
@TimWaterson Thats pretty cool, I didn't know that. Well I guess drummers that are that good are where they're at cause they're open minded and don't get super competitive around other drummers.... I was just joking around with that comment I posted man haha. Sorry.
I love this. sometimes metal drummers need to get away from the constant blast beats and fast double bass and practice more intricate beats. dont get me wrong. i love blast beats and double bass they're to die for but going fast doesnt make a drummer neccesarily rly good. anyway Derek Roddy your a beast!
Really? How could you ever consider yourself a true musician if you don't know how to respect all the different music styles and genres? For being nearly 60 years old, you sound like a ignorant teenager.
Who cares if the majors don't want to sign heavier stuff ? there are enough tools out the for everyone to do it themselves these days. You are wrong about ticket sales tho mate, and your assumptions of who attends these gigs, (i am none of the above) and it's not just about making money, just let it go man.
Haha you're still trolling Derek Roddy? When will you realize that nobody cares what you think...?
Seriously... this guys has posted like 8-10 comments on no less than 6 or 7 Derek Roddy videos. It's like he has a personal goal of bringing Roddy down or something.
It's honestly sorta sad, that this guy dedicates so much time bringing someone down just because he doesn't like their musical style.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I wonder if a guy like this is always wondering when people are going to catch on that he sucks.I cn't believe that he thinks he's good . But I bet he wakes up every day ready for his endorsements to cancel. He knows he is aplie of bad drumming habits and can't play any real good music now or ever. He just sounds drunk loud and sloppy at all times. No press rolls no paradiddles no slow controlled grooves. Nothing sexy. No swing or slug. No shuffle. No blues. Just uncontrolles speed. Yuck
hahahaha rrdrums...dude when ohh when are you gonna post a vid of your mindblowing drum skills....comon gramps....it was put up or shut up time 2 months ago...now you just look silly
After reading through some of the comments on here I've gotta say, it's NOT a competition. Who cares if one drummer is better than another. They're doing what they love.
With that said...Roddy is wayyyyy better than Joey lol. It may not be a competition but there is no way in hell Jordison can keep up with Roddy. Derek is SO much more versatile. He walks all over Joey when it comes to metal or any other genre. (not that joey can play anything else)
Ha the last part was mostly a joke. Though I meant it. I was just saying it doesn't matter who's better and who's not. But roddy is better. Thats all. That's not being a hipocrit.
Alot of metal drummers (roddy, jordison, portnoy) started out playing funk/latin/jazz. Roddy is very skilled in many fields! Double bass flams get really boring, you need to throw down something tasty once in a while.
lawl u said joy true what u said though but thatwould be in general not in genre terms cause derek plays difrent genre of music oppose to joey in heavy metal or (nu metal)
def. a different style then what everyone is used to. more laid back just shows he's all round not just straight death metal. some drummers i know that do hardcore metal rock couldn't lay down a funk beat u know.
There are alot of drummers who are teachers, students, ect who read and write music who drum as a career choice. Those people usually are self dignified with sticks up their asses. They talk down to self taught drummers because they think they know it all. I know some really good drummers who won't even look past their little plane of existence because they "don't like heavy music"... its like being a cranky old man. have fun being a teacher the rest of ur life. Lol.
Some of the best musicians in the world are self-taught. Educated musicians tend to get too caught up on the technical side of things, and they have a hard time with their creative side, so it ends up sounding robotic. It's harder for guitarists to achieve it, obviously, but drummers who are self-taught can really branch out to where they want to go, with no other influences except their own. I'm self-taught for 10 years now, and I've loved every minute of it.
i no how you feel. i learn from playing around with random beats i make up plus making up beats from other people and changing them around. if you try to learn too much, you end up just playing mostly rudiments and beats. there's no creativity to it. the best way actually (i would say) is growing up in a drumming community. grow up in a drumming family, grow up having all the drumming tools u want right there for you.
Not tricky, per say, but it's a pain in the arse, especially when you're gigging. I used to play with two kick drums at concerts, but I ditched one and bought a double-pedal. Unless you have a roadie who is a glutton for punishment, it's not worth it. The mainmost problem besides carrying them, is tuning them. It's harder to get two bass drums into tune than you'd think. Nothing is worse than hacking away at one kick drum, while hearing that the other is a pitch higher. Irritating!
This guy really knows how to GROOVE. Love his hihat work in the beginning, and his drums have great tone. Not neccesarily what I use on my kit, but great tone nonetheless.
I wouldn't of said it was an ignorant comment if he didn't say Roddy can do better. He can love it being heavy all he wants but If he is disappointed with the quality of playing because it isn't heavy well then that is very ignorant.
People on YouTube seem to get reeeeeally confused about what triggers actually do. They don't make you faster!! They simply alter the sound so each strike is as even as the last - abit like when you turn the touch sensitivity off on a keyboard. Anyway, Derek is trying to stop use them - he mentions it in an interview I have of him.
Derek you're an amazing drummer dude. I hope I have the pleasure of bumping into you one day and shaking your hand. If that were to happen dream come true man honest.
why the fuck is everyone thumbs downing (aha) everyone?
fuck sakes grow up people. if u dont know wot triggers are look them up, he is not using them in this video u can tell by the sound, and if u were a sound engineer, which i am, u could tell. i guess ill be getting the thumbs down now ahaha
Still one of my favourite clips of you Derek, awesome, awesome stuff! I hope I can catch one of your clinics sometime or better yet, make my way down there for some jamming!
this guy is such an inspiration to people of all levels. he's fast, he has good technique, his playing has texture, and overall he's so fucking humble about it all. damn.
Look up Danny Carey, the drummer from Tool, he's very good as well, also he uses Sonor just like Derek does, Sonor are amazing drum sets. Both Derek and Danny (mainly Danny but Derek seems really impressive as well) are brilliant inspirations for drummers, as well is Neil Peart and Mr Portnoy
people try and say how good someone is over another and argue that point because they know they cant do it so they are trying to show that they know alot about it,.. some one who actually does know alot,.. will just admire it for what it is,.. and comment on the actual video,.. not sit there and pick (or try and pick) it to bits say who else can do it better
Amazing how many youtube posters totally jerk themselves off when seeing some sloppy uninspired fast out of sync bomb/hyperblast wannabe deathmetal drumming and when it comes to real musicianship like on these video's, they don't come further than a useless discussion about triggers
Why do people argue so much about music stuff. It's really sad. MY PEDALS WILL KICK YOUR PEDALS ASS...or my favorite drummer/band..whatever. How lame. This guy fucking shreds. True phenomonon.
people are such gimps when it comes to understanding triggers, the word actually annoys me now. No, nothing is triggered here... so pipe down and just enjoy an amazing drummer
Derek is powerful and one of the nastiest drummers im glad to see him do this solo w/o a lot of blasts. i love them but. seeing him go beyond is awesome
sensors like shit that picks up sound by vibration on the drum. so tapping it would sound the same as banging on it. also can change the sound of the drum.
yeah, what alot of people don't know is that you can get dynamic triggers, if you have a good module to put them though then you can do nearly anything you want, it all comes down to what settings you use, but accents ghost beats and all those can be acheived with the right triggers and modual, not to mention they make it harder to accomplish
the only thing he ever triggers is his bass drums. the part of your kit you need to with the music he plays, cause usually a bass drum wont project unless you eq the fuck out of it.
as you can clearly see in this whole video, his toms are miked.

this guy is such an inspiration to people of all levels. he's fast, he has good technique, his playing has texture, and overall he's so fucking humble about it all. damn.

Look up Danny Carey, the drummer from Tool, he's very good as well, also he uses Sonor just like Derek does, Sonor are amazing drum sets. Both Derek and Danny (mainly Danny but Derek seems really impressive as well) are brilliant inspirations for drummers, as well is Neil Peart and Mr Portnoy

people try and say how good someone is over another and argue that point because they know they cant do it so they are trying to show that they know alot about it,.. some one who actually does know alot,.. will just admire it for what it is,.. and comment on the actual video,.. not sit there and pick (or try and pick) it to bits say who else can do it better

Amazing how many youtube posters totally jerk themselves off when seeing some sloppy uninspired fast out of sync bomb/hyperblast wannabe deathmetal drumming and when it comes to real musicianship like on these video's, they don't come further than a useless discussion about triggers
Those who I'm aiming at, learn to relative.

what are triggers?
DALE9892 4 years ago
sensors like shit that picks up sound by vibration on the drum. so tapping it would sound the same as banging on it. also can change the sound of the drum.

wow its just a waste to have a set of drums like that if you're just going to ruin them with triggers
demartinod 4 years ago
the only thing triggered are his bass drums....
grinddrummer666 4 years ago
it must be the quality of the recording in that case
demartinod 4 years ago
no there not, i can tell by the sound its not, u can hear accents for one
hegnirst 4 years ago
triggers are dynamics-sensitive.
therefore you can play accents or ghost notes with them, all with ridiculous definition and tone control.
jackjustice777 3 years ago
yeah, what alot of people don't know is that you can get dynamic triggers, if you have a good module to put them though then you can do nearly anything you want, it all comes down to what settings you use, but accents ghost beats and all those can be acheived with the right triggers and modual, not to mention they make it harder to accomplish

The reason why he have triggered the bass drums is because he use axis pedal, and this pedal are very speedfull, but they are olso very powerless...
asturusbrunku 4 years ago
I highly beg to differ, i own a pair and they are very powerful. Much more powerfull than the trick pro-v pedals.

axis's are powerful u dont know wot ur talking about
hegnirst 4 years ago
uhh axis is the weakest pedal I've ever played. You have to bring the beaters really far back and use wooden beaters for power.
Glenn666 4 years ago
lets just say if you are playing the beaters close then you have no power or endurance to begin with.
ignitetheblight 4 years ago
oh really, and youve played them i presume?
i own a set and they are just as powerful as any.
you use triggers to get better definition of the notes when playing fast.
they also pick up dynamics so if you play sofy, you get a soft sound.
they do not make you 'cheat' or anything else.
they just make the sound better and crisper.
and i know cause i have them.
jackjustice777 3 years ago
he is playing without them now
poodjs 4 years ago
hmmm.
are you blind?
the only thing he ever triggers is his bass drums. the part of your kit you need to with the music he plays, cause usually a bass drum wont project unless you eq the fuck out of it.
as you can clearly see in this whole video, his toms are miked.
