[MrStevenstacy]

first bridge you did the opposite it was hi hat first then ride second

[DWRhythm]

@MrStevenstacy I know. just got carried away and rolled with it. I wasn't even thinking whatsoever when I played this.

[dawg3277]

ok ok ok ok ok !!! holy shit...wowX5...wtf man awesome job...!!

[aspasiz]

Dude what band do you play in? Please answer. I want to check it out

[DWRhythm]

@aspasiz I'm not in a band anymore. You can check out my old band at reverbnation /karmagettin or you can check out my solo material at Reverbnation /geraddeuvall

[MudskipperPoint]

@DWRhythm Not to be offensive but how did you get this fat if you drum this fast! This is like some awesome excercise bro! (No not trolling, just asking :o)

[lpc91]

are you hitting the double kick parts with heel to toe?!! ive allways wanted to work on that myself but im never getting it that clean. i need to get more practce in lol. thats crazy

[xXParanormalPunxXx]

Whats it like having a cyborg drumset? XD

[AkonRap123]

how do you make track drumless?

[cleggy153]

HOW IS THIS GUY NOT THIN AT THE END OF THE SONG!!

[keyboardfromheaven]

@cleggy153 lolololol

[victorhugo484]

Best best best !!!!!! (:

[Panhead915]

And to think, I thought the song was all FAKE AND GAY.

[semitonedown]

And I've seen videos of Dave using the heel/toe as well

[semitonedown]

Wow, that was awesome. I was working on using heel/toe to do the double bass but didn't know if it was possible at that speed. Nice job. Do you have any recommendations for practicing that to get it fast?

[RoronoaGtr]

You Are Amazing !!

[QuantumLegacy2010]

PURE AWESOMENESS!!!!!

[abuelitaentanga]

pretty cool man, im gonna play this song with my band and your video will become very helpful, keep up the good work!!

[cod4lifecuzz]

god can u please give me super powers like the guy in the video

[dakki12345]

LMAO!

[padreescarcha]

t la rifas e la verdad eres una verga en la bateria mis respetos we

[Miguelizk00l]

if its you thats play it, dude...hit me up cuz i wanna learn!

[DWRhythm]

@Miguelizk00l what do you want to learn?



[Miguelizk00l]

@DWRhythm i know the basics. i can master things when i play, but i just cant get rythem when i would like to play like that in the video.

[FurbyParade226]

One of the only 2 people on youtube that can actually nail the intro 16th splits.. thank god..

[lucasguitargh]

Very Good!

Which DoubleBass do you have?

[collinschristian83]

amazing yet again

[RokkerxDD]

doesn't your right arm ever get tired? haha.

[DWRhythm]

@RokkerxDD I drink 10W-40... j/k. LOL! I've been in extreme metal bands for many years, where speed faster than this is required. "What a Horrible Night To Have a Curse" is actually faster than this on it's double bass parts. I really need to sit down and re-cover that with better sound quality, but my original one did so well.

[RoronoaGtr]

@DWRhythm i'll drink 15W-40 Mobil xDDD LOL

[ObsceneCleaver]

I wanna know how the hell you can do heel-toe to fast.

[XF360]

You are sick on the drums, keep up the good work :)

[TheKrakenLegend]

AWESOME DUDE!!!!!!!!!!! :P

[MrRagmore4]

gillan

[IisMourbyd]

dude no joke you deserver immortality for this talent :D

[flashboy5000]

AMAZING video, man. May I ask you what sticks you use? :)

[XxMetallicaBelgianxX]

win. when I saw this on my page as recommended I said "brave". lmao

[TooKoolForSchoolFool]

Where's the easy part?

[Savior94]

Wow. :') Awesomeness!

[Syclone0044]

This video inspired me to find Herman Li playing the guitar from TTFAF live, I found it here, its equally interesting to watch! /watch?v=Hw-wLgD_K-I

[ant8894]

what program do u use to put the music in the video?

[jesseg1991]

I think that heel-toe is so bad ass. I was wondering if you found it easier to play with or without shoes?

[DWRhythm]

@jesseg1991 I would have to say without shoes. mainly because I wear a size 10 1/2 shoe and DW foot boards are not that big. Also, they make me feel more "free-handed", if that makes any sense.

[jesseg1991]

@DWRhythm I completely understand, thanks a lot!

[Warhawk3800]

Now do Operation Ground and Pound

>=D

Good job really..

[Cheezumz002]

i HATE dragonforce songs on drums.

[Benjrmina]

this was probably boring as fuck for you.

[thecoasterlover]

Like and favorited man, great stuff keep it coming.

[djblueakajp]

damn every time time i watCH your new vids you just get better and better keep it up man!!!

[MetalDrummer776]

I prefer real drumsets but wow......u must be the son of jesus

[DWRhythm]

@MetalDrummer776 My electronic kit is the equivalent to an acoustic or "real" drum set. Infact, my shells are a real drumset :). There literally is no difference between the two. If you have a top notch module, then your electronic drumset will sound just as good as an acoustic one.

[passionoflovers]

How do you manage to play this when you are this big?

[Ragnarohman]

Youre hi hat technique is perfect reincarnated!!!

[Pivoteer435]

Amazing, as always. Good job G-Rad. :)

[Donnner93]

That was the weirdest doublebass technique i've ever seen :D

[al52025]

fuckin sick dude

[Nyxtia]

If only Dragonforce's drummer could do this...

[DWRhythm]

@Nyxtia LMAO!

[ImADrummerEh]

@Nyxtia if you watch the video of them playing at graspop 2006 (the video that got them called studioforce), the drummer's the only one who looks like he knows what he's doing :P

[RustyWaffle]

@Nyxtia Dave Mackintosh uses heel-toe too actually, so I guess he's on the way :P

[lfcbenitez123]

@Nyxtia dave mackintosh is one of the most consistent metal drummers out there .. actually.. if you find me a video on youtube that shows him being even slightly off at any show i will be amazed.

[5TheKingOfPop5]

@Nyxtia -.-"ROTFFL

[sidonus]

@Nyxtia  LOLOL

[aspasiz]

Best cover of this song on Youtube. Your double bass skills are awesome

[TH3B3A57]

do Facebreaker by Devine Heresy next xD or yeah some jazz or something

[rkctkc]

impressive

[Hexinvir]

Dude you are amazing. I don't know too many drummers who could play this as well as you. Keep it up!

[mystakinSH]

Lock the heel-toe double bass. One of my favorite looking techniques in drumming... never ceases to look like magic.

[DWRhythm]

@mystakinSH I'm confused?¿

Lock the heel-toe?

[mystakinSH]

@DWRhythm whoops! I meant "Love" not "Lock." I'll blame that on posting a comment at 2am :x

[metalmonkey007888]

@DWRhythm *Love*



[agubna]

@DWRhythm Maybe he meant to put love? That's what came to mind for me. Not sure though haha.

[jjjmanyo]

@DWRhythm I think he means love...

[jjjmanyo]

You should try doing some Jazz songs, overall they are far more demanding than 90% of rock and metal songs (but I do love rock and metal).

[DWRhythm]

@jjjmanyo I'd love to. I'm actually going to do "West Side Story" soon. That was one of my favorite Buddy Rich pieces.

[jjjmanyo]

@DWRhythm Sick, btw do you happen to know or have heard of a guy named Tyler Hornby? I'm actually working under him right now haha. And I personally prefer "Dancing Men" from Buddy, but I guess that's just cus I have one of the rare CDs with an original, properly recorded version of it lol

[mechamind90]

Kind of tricky on an electronic kit. I noticed some times when you hit the cymbal but it didn't make a sound.

[DWRhythm]

@mechamind90 My poor cymbals are beat to death! haha. I've had them over a year now and have used them heavily. They're used when I bought them. Just a couple of Roland Cy-8's. I'm needing new and better cymbals, but yeah.

[kReEaYtEr]

That was absolutely amazing. O_O

Your heel-toe is perfect.

[DWRhythm]

@kReEaYtEr Thanks. I wouldnt' say it's perfect, but it's not bad. I could always use more improvement.
