Steve Asheim - As If A Rose I Wither

[AQganon]

It's safe to say that some of the forefathers of Death Metal drumming are Pete Sandoval, Paul Mazurkiewicz, Steve Asheim, and Mike Smith.

[deicidaldemon]

sickdrummer indeed i wish i could pull off fills like that

[psy42263]

i saw steve last summer and he was 100% spot on he didn't miss a thing out and ive seen alot of the top bands playing and they always miss out snare, toms kicks etc it just goes to show how some players can play with no effort and others struggle forcing themselves to keep up with their own songs... PS george kollias is a loser and nile are a nu-metal band [u kno about as much about rhythm as a house dj] / i dnt know how anyone can say steve isnt technical ....

[HeisW140]

Yeah I agree - criticising Steve is just silly. He was alongside other people like Kollias and Hellhammer making history.... and he has his own style. He is a legend in his own right.

[StIdes811]

how the fuck is anyone questioning steve asheim? this guy was pioneering this type of drumming before you were even a fucking stain in your daddies pants. study respect and appreciation of the roots will only make you a better player and musician.

[Juicemaster777]

@StIdes811 Amen to that.

[JRMP666]

*if* he sucks....

[JRMP666]

Many assholes are saying he sucks live but they can't even play for whom the bell tolls and he he sucks live at least he doesn't cheat!!! ungrateful fucks!!!!!

[burns01]

I do love his Chinas, those Alphas got a nice sound, and aren't overpriced, I'd love Alphas over Z3's...

[reherthor]

Great Drummer ..history of death metal drumming

[Jen0cidePr0ducti0ns]

Mmmmm muscles

[Sergey1978RU]

this is really work!

[DAVEKLOKForTheHorde]

Didn't this guy drum with Deicide for the first few albums?

[JRMP666]

@DAVEKLOKForTheHorde he is the original drummer of deicide

[homelesscreeper]

@JRMP666 what you talking about original druimmer of deicide hes the only drummer deicide has ever had and ever will have hell he pretty much owns the band glen just writes lyrics thats it steve does all the music

[JRMP666]

@homelesscreeper yeah i know

[FolkMetalac]

@DAVEKLOKForTheHorde He still does man.

[DAVEKLOKForTheHorde]

@FolkMetalac Oh sick! I like his stuff!

[homelesscreeper]

yall fucks are stupid hellhammer aint even in the same fucking league as steve fucking asheim not even close asheim is very fucking technical hellhammer couldnt even play his old deicide shit more less the orders shit not even in the same league yall lost your goddamn mind

[goawaiii]

@homelesscreeper youre right in the first part. But wrong in the latter part since he's a few leagues above.

[falconer6439]

@homelesscreeper Good drummer, not very technical, and not as good as Hellhammer or alot of other people. But still pretty good.

[SeverDismemberCinner]

1.George Kollias

2.Vitek

3.Hellhammer

4.Derrek Roddey

5.Paul Mazurkiewicz

Steve #6 :)

[aSpawnWretched]

bleh depending on the music you play

[KoKaTa]

[trankuser9]

dude is a fucking grandmaster of the art period

[GrowlingIceWolf]

lol since when did Axle Rose start playing the drums??? xD

[XDevilsbane]

@GrowlingIceWolf ...Well at least now he has some talent

[deafjammm]

sexy

[worblfloss]

That dude is a fucking Hog.

[20silentscream]

What makes me angry... is not the talent and skills of his drumming , its the fact that he is doing them while closing his eyes

[yorktoncotereserve]

look at his drummer muscle lol..awsome drummer my 2nd fav

[vektorblue]

sick!!!!!!

[pharcydebug]

hes a white snoop dog!

[winner0loser]

bass drums will never be heard via cheap camera during death metal sessions.

[slipknotsk8ter89]

NILE is better!! (more creative). Just kidding. I love em both. Asheim, Kollias, Inferno, Frost, Portnoy, Travis fuckin Barker you name it! they're all good in retrospect.

[pullscrotskin]

steve #1

[pullscrotskin]

steve/deicide blows my mind

[ageracci]

Steve works the whole kit repeatedly, and his kit is quite vast. his speed and precision is intense.

[Muddrum666]

1.Frost (satyricon) 2.Inferno (behemoth) 3.George Kollias (nile)

[slipknotjalle]

gene hoglan, richard christy, pete sandoval,gavin harrison, steve asheim!!!

[Burrumbumbum]

1-Mike Portnoy

2-Paul Bostaph

3-Dave Lombardo

4-Dave Mackintosh

5-Paul Mazurkiewicz

[pcrvg0808]

.....and he,s got a good sense of humor .

[Iimaekwi]

1. Gene Hoglan 2. Dave Lombardo 3. Mick Harris 4. Steve Asheim 5. Igor Cavalera

[potp5150]

Dave Suzuki, Steve Asheim, Igor Cavalera, Mick Harris, Gene Hoagland. All different styles all changed metal.

[BreathFog]

This is a Man working!! yes Sir!!

[MatelheadTuefte]

Very nice cymbal work. The special feature of Steve Asheim is his fucking stamina! Listen to Deicide and concentrate on the drums. He plays Blast Beats a hole song sometimes! Its insane.

[soadfan589]

@MatelheadTuefte It's not insane. It's Steve Asheim! :) He's a legend! He totally rules! And then his cymbal setup.... Awesome!

[stom72]

Check the Reticulated album with Belgian EMETH. Some astonishing music there.

[mquirk00]

@stom72 their new shit sux.

[mquirk00]

@stom72 Emeth's new shit sux!shut up.This is about Steve.

[jockrot666]

[warpig616]

that was amazing

[demartinod]

great snare head hes got there, thats how i roll as well

[ThePrimamateria]

the perfect take, respect steve.

[mkmoloch]

Deicide is my favorite band, everytime I listen to deicide after I watched this video I really could apreciate how damn good the blast beats are. Even on their older stuff like their debut, check out the cover of the sacrificial suicide blast beat on here.

[opotiki2]

Willie Nelson is pretty badass on the drums.

[Fuki385]

Asheim looks like Willie Nelson, haha

[seekingobscure]

A death metal drum legend and extremely COOL guy! Yelled to him on stage for an autograph and without hesitation he said "catch me backstage"-at a dive in shit hole Wyoming he took the time to chat and sign some Deicide swag for me! No one can deny the impact the debut album had on the history of death metal! Very humble dude I might add too...horns up Steve!

[mkmoloch]

Dude that's fucking awesome, I'd kill to meet Steve. Yeah their debut is fucking sick, I have all of their albums.

[makingmayhem678]

@seekingobscure he is an awesome guy met him and talked to him about drumming and even gave me a pair of his drumsticks. he s super chill and easy going.

[fwaapo]

dude has a damn muscular back with a small waist

[desaparecieron]

if you don't know about drumming ...don't write bulshit!!!joey with 10 mistakes in every live song!!

[Brainwasher555]

for me the best drummer is chris adler!!!! fcking good drummer

[717mienbao]

he's in some kind of shape for being his age.

[vermilion243]

being as kickass a drummer as this, kinda does that to you...

playing songs like this for hours straight every day does that to you.

[EIMRAIZZU]

I wanna have a body like his \m/

[tonkpils666araby]

he's funy playng so ugly but fukn good drummer,

1° George kollias - Nile

2° yanic bercier - Quo Vadis

3° inferno - Behemoth

4° steeve aishei - Deicide

5° joey jordison - Slipknot (inst death metal but fuckn good drummer too)

[ScreamxBloodyxGore]

All joey can do is play quads and basic doublebass. No hard signatures, nothing intricate with the hands... can't even blast all that well... and blasting is kinda easy. And why does it matter that he's ugly, you a fag or something?

(Oh wait, slipknot... right)

[tonkpils666araby]

like i said, isnt death metal but a good drummer!, WTF i imagine that every one has your opinion here, and i said thath hes ugly cuz he is, BUT funckn good drummer i think you dont know how to read.... Steve is one of the betters drummers for me. about joey fuck off, about hes ugly.... better then say (bealtifull) or you think hes bealtifull?, i thing fag her is who that gives "-" point tho some one that says "steve is ugly" AuhAUhUahuah fag....

[ScreamxBloodyxGore]

I can read fine, thanks.

I didn't say anything about joeys appearance, you are the one who is obsessed with other mens looks.

And if you think quads and doublebass is impressive, so be it. He's not very versatile, and if being good at 2/3 rudiments makes him versatile, youre entitled to your opinion.

[tonkpils666araby]

all right... hhhahahahah i think you are sooo fuckn dumbass that you cant know what was a kind of "joke" y know. steve is ugly (i dont know if this is the correct word to use (like i said im not american, or something like taht. i just know somehting about english) so, i said hes ugly cauze, he make some fun fabes when hes playng like smiles, "closed faces", doing some like "strongs" whith arms. i never said about hes abilityes

[tonkpils666araby]

you are the one stressed here when i said hes ugly, if hes ugly, joeys ugly, you or me is ugly, fuck off donsnt metter, just metter the abiliies,, about joey, thats true, hesnt good them the rest of then, but hesnt a bad drummer. if you are better then he, post a video... and if you are i can say that your are better then him. why not?

nou go to fuck your self, i dont wanna to waste my time

[tonkpils666araby]

ohh i found the word to "UGLY" thats "drummer posture" i think... i kind of posture that drummers have, but thats not interfere on the abilityes

[tonkpils666araby]

I think people do not like when we criticize what they like, or praise what they do not like, like some people do not like, if we say that Neil Peart is not best drummer in the world. i like joey, you dont like, fucko ff i dont care.

dont waste my time ok!

[tonkpils666araby]

ill never said that joey is more technical. dont you see that steve for me is better? WTF. your worse of then.. hahaha i prefer steve then joey. but this dosent mean that i dont like joey too..

[tonkpils666araby]

and i said, DONT WASTE MY TIME!

[tonkpils666araby]

and ever one has your opinion, i respect yours, so, respect mine too... _|_ fuck off if you dont like it, i cant do any thingfor you!

sorry english, im brasilian

WHOOOO lets go hellhammer!!!

[farfignugen1992]

@ozzybob Sean Rienert, and Derek Roddy

[jesse17ful]

@ozzybob finally!

somebody doesnt put dam Lars on the 5

[dickiedik5]

@jesse17ful no comment for nothing agains lars fucker, he did well all these years like othe drummers, so shut up.

[jesse17ful]

@dickiedik5 but he sucks live

[themrholydiver]

@ozzybob that's your problem.....

[Nuftetuft]

@ozzybob

Why the fuck do people call him Derrick Roddy? geeeeeeeeeese...

His name is DEREK Roddy

[ozzybob]

@Nuftetuft Who really cares ???

[ApocalypticCarnage13]

@ozzybob

No Pete Sandoval, from morbid angel? :-{

[ozzybob]

@ApocalypticCarnage13 He's nimber 6 \m/

[Oli4drums]

@ozzybob Where are Hoglan, Haley and Sanders in that list?

[ozzybob]

@Oli4drums Hoglan in at 7 ..... As far as haley , sanders dont really rate them im sorry for upsetting everyone !!! no hard feelings

[Oli4drums]

@ozzybob All good, everyone is entitled to their own opinions! And yeah, Sanders would be last on the list, even though he's still amazing.

[MrArghhhh]

@ozzybob who te fuck is shaun reinhart???? did you mean Sean Reinert??? and by the way... i think that list is upside down, bro... but just a matter of taste i guess...

[ecatalan98]

He's really fast on the drum rolls! Nice cymbal accents. It's a shame the double bass drum isn't as audible as the rest of the drum set. Steve is a really good drummer, perhaps too good for Deicide!!!

[001draven]

The man the legend! HAIL ASHEIM!

[titasgrandes]

thats how you fuckin do it if your aspiring to be a drummer,listen and learn,

[FadeToBlack455]

hmm i wonder how good it would sound if he actually hit his drums

[Joeskateapool]

dude you cant even say that shit about Steve,hes a legend and a damn fucking great drummer. Bash him if you must,but this VETERAN drummer wont give a fuck.Plus you wouldnt be powering through this song,youd be struggling

[FadeToBlack455]

naw he sucks

[routty35]

this jerk off fadetoblack doesnt have a clue.what a stupid fuck.

[FadeToBlack455]

hell yeah i jerk off, on your mother's face. you needle dick fuck.

[routty35]

naw i say you he suck daddys dick.fucken dumbass country mama fucker!!!

[FadeToBlack455]

lol, ahhh youtube fights good times.

[Joeskateapool]

Are the rolls at 0:00 to 0:22 in triplet form? for some reason it sounds like that for me

[saymore183]

peanutXify, You right!

[dukeh6414]

Pete of Morbid Angel is the best drummer no doubt he started this new drumming style, BUT Steve of Deicide is MORE impressive because he not only writes all drum music for deicide but GUITAR Also, he writes it all, and most personable guy in metal, email him on myspace and he writes back within a couple days. Paul of CC lacks stamina, and is pretty stale, live show is unimpressive

[DeathmetalAxis]

Yea man George Kollias from Nile is the same way. He Is actually a very humble person.

[JACKSONGUITARDUDE]

Paul definitely isnt as fast as either of those guys but hes an incredibly solid drummer tempo wise and he makes some really weird beats that dont need to be fast to still be hard.

[SpawnOfHate666]

jack owen writes some too so steve doesnt do all the gutair work

[FutileExistence]

Steve does rhythm guitar though... if you want to see an EVEN MORE IMPRESSIVE musician check out Dave Suzuki:

He's the drummer, lead guitarist, lyricst, backup vocalist and plays bass too!!!

[peanutXify]

does any1 agree with me?

[peanutXify]

he somehow has a coordination problem, his hands seem to follow his legs....

[itamhoe]

I would like the opinion of a drummer, if you were to rank him with Pete from Morbid Angel and Paul from Cannibal Corpse how would it be?

[whoreior]

Haha, you wanna compare two of the laziest drummers with Commando? LOL

[ratican]

me and my band have had the awesome experience of playing on the same stage as him and Order of Ennead on the last Vital Remains tour, there a fuckin amazing band live and Steve is the nicest guy ever to meet in person. fuckin a metal rules!!!!

[TurboLaffe]

the last 90 seconds hes a fucking machine...

[SpawnOfHate666]

for someone his age he is in good physical condition and fast and amazing drummer

[Joeskateapool]

right man? look at pete sandoval now,hes getting so skinny.but he still blasts like a beast

[OuchMyGlands666]

He's probably in such good shape BECAUSE he's such a fast drummer. I mean there's no way he doesn't practice every single day. To still play as well now as he did in the late 80's, he'd have to.

[SpawnOfHate666]

ya and he is intense as hell i mean alot of old drummers it looks like they barely hit the drum but him he wacks that thing i love it i love intense drummers the ones who barely touch the drumm i hate

[renshammar]

Nice rolls.

[cheesseey2]

i never released how great of a drummer steve asheim is while listening to deicide. this stuff is great

[XPureVolume]

This guy is an absolute, total badass!

[trampledone]

hes always been my favorite drummer since first hearing deicide many years ago, i also like dave lombardo, and gene hoglan.

[AntiHero1996]

He's seriously underrated

[m4r1lynm4n50n]

i think he got skinny legs, hahaha XD!!!

[virkernes]

just awesome

[TheStronzo777777]

i think he's awesome

[brownlawnmowerent]

i really liked the cymbal work

[astarusdeathmetal]

but mike mangini is the fastest

[Drummerthatismetal]

But steve blows mangini out of the water in my oppinion.

[astarusdeathmetal]

yeah maybe in one way, but there are a lot of drummers out there who are the same or even faster than both of them

[Lethargyca]

for who plays this guy??

[astarusdeathmetal]

DEICIDE!!!!! steve asheim sick drummer

[Lawlorama]

He plays for Deicide and Order of Ennead.

[necrofagg0t]

HE IS DEICIDE AND ORDER OF ENNEAD

[HumorRumor]

what is that paiste china at the top right corner? it sounds godly, a lot more gong-like than other chang-type chinas.

[ThaDeeStylee]

probably an Alpha... it looks like they all are... and im a Paiste guy. i like the 2002's myself but these fit steves style fo sho

[soadfan589]

They all are alphas. I really like them. I am going to buy a lot of cymbals, and Steve has them all. With the Dee style, do you mean Mikkey Dee from Motörhead by the way? Have a nice day.

[ThaDeeStylee]

haha no i didnt but ima tell people that now. you too man :]

[Drummerthatismetal]

How are the Alpha's?

[ThaDeeStylee]

bright. pretty cutting and loud too. kinda ringy though, better for loud playing. i dont like them much personally though, i have the whole pst5 line and like them a lot better. both are loud. I like washier cymbals though and im sticking with paiste and gettin 2002's eventually. that alloy is just right for me... i grew up with classic rock and love that blending sound even for metal playing. good for my style.

[Drummerthatismetal]

Okay, thanks man! :)

[Lawlorama]

Steve Asheim's snare isn't triggered, but his kicks are.

[timmmmkay]

the beginning was very precise

[thekat67]

My thoughts exactly

[tiagoshade]

Good drummer!

[REFERENCESERIES]

Alpha series

[WilliamBrutality]

That side pec creeps me out. lol.

[divinalt]

Best death metal drums....I´ve meet him personally when Decide came to Brazil. He´s a great person, very funny guy!!! Glenn too.

[er666in]

hehehe

[xxstaggerxx]

He looks really twitchy when he plays

[varulv234]

Roses aren't very Metal.....

[kendoka666]

I THOUGHT IT WAS A COOL SONG TITLE

[varulv234]

OK, THAT'S GOOD THEN.......

[LHondrums]

i had the same fuckin drumhead (evans ec reverse dot) on the snare. it sucked so hard i removed it and it sounds like shit here as well..
