@OGTheDemon if you are going to say there's NOTHING techy about John Longstreth's playing, then you seriously might actually be blind and I suggest you get your eyes checked out asap. Or maybe you just don't know shit about drumming in general, that too. I'm guessing it's a little of both though.
@OGTheDemon yeah, just watched the video again...he's playing a really fast CONSISTENT blast and doing some techy fills/ride and snare work. Just fuck off, troll hahaha
@d34thd34l3rx obviously u dont know what technicality is... like i said most of ur fanboys dont know shit... derek roddy george kolias and gene hoglan are techy death metal musicians.... go watch them..
@d34thd34l3rx u miss the point of drumming.... being able to PLAY doesnt make u good CREATING is wut brings u to fruition besides ur just a fukin troll anyway ive seen ur page ur argument is invalid lol bye
@OGTheDemon yeah dumb fuck clearly youre blind, go check out ANY other longstreth video and he's creative as fuck. the one that's the troll is CLEARLY yourself for bashing this vid LOL damn you're stupid as fuuuuuck xD
@OGTheDemon plus, youve seen my page...okay, WTF does THAT have to do with anything !?! LOFUCKINGL. my argument is invalid, i think you're kind of talking to yourself buddy hahaha yeah man, my argument is invalid that longstreth can pull off anything your favorite faggot drummers can...yeah, my argument is totally "INVALID" hahaha fucking IDIOT.
@OGTheDemon i never knew typing in "john longstreth drumming" was "trolling youtube" lol...i think you just described yourself perfectly, since you were the first one to comment saying he sucks LOL making YOU the troll hahaha literally just made fun of yourself xD
@OGTheDemon sorry, I'm neither of those. those are both yourself...AGAIN LOL, thank you for describing yourself fucking perfectly AGAIN, and thanks fucking AGAIN!?! for making fun of yourself hahaha you lose.
@OGTheDemon exactly man! finally someone agrees with me i think that drummers like alex grind and george kollias and romain goulon are the realmetal drummers cuz they are this fast but slam the fuking shit out of their kits!!
@EdgeStormcrow actually its not from singles. i looked into it, and i found that he plays the heel-toe double bass techneque; which isn't dirty. its a smart way to double bass in my opinion.its good for extended periods of double bass and its very hard to master. John longstrech is just a boss! lol
@EdgeStormcrow he definitily does. you can play heel toe off the pedal as long as you have the motion down. go to freedrumlessons..com find the heel toe and swivel techneque and fast forward about 24 mins in and it shows that you dont have to be on the pedal to play heel toe.
@thtawsomekid33 Heya, good call, think you're right on the heel toe, he's probably playing that low on the pedal condensed version, thx for the vid. I don't really like it as its one motion for two strokes which is quite non-versatile for anything except straight 16ths (i.e you can't play any complex alternating bass drums lines). Probably a bit goat ploppy without triggers too as the second stroke is more of a glorified rebound than a 'stroke'.
@EdgeStormcrow yup, thats all very ture. it also has a weird sounding pattern to it b/c of how its played, but its kinda hard to notice especially if the person who's playing it's experienced enough. i prefer the heels up technique myself; its both more comfortable and real to me, but its not a bad idea to play the straight 16th note heel toe pattern with this kind of music; ecpecially if you have triggers
One thing I don't understand is the hi-hat - how does it open and close? There MUST be a guy operating it remotely or something, or John has invisible imps working for him...
@HabAnagarek he's actually switching from hi hat back to bass, or on hi hat and doing doubles with one foot, he does both depending on the drum pattern I was watching him do it on other vids. <3 JL
@Arcturus24 - Hahaha yes and its way too insane. Me and my keyboard player had a chat with him after the gig and confirmed it. During this I was looking for a 3rd trick pedal or something :P
@thedemonstealer After watching johns videos a billion times, I think I finally got his technique, if I do the same as he does, placing the back of his foot ON THE GROUND, to hold against the pedal rebound, it´s actually less effort taking (sorry for the eng)
@Arcturus24 Yeah, its more of a double stroke than a heel toe. Leg drops to produce a standard stroke, then as his leg rises, he catches the pedal with his toes and flips to get the second. Sort of toe toe rather the stamp and rock motion of heel toe. And yes, it is insane! :-D
