that was not wrists, mate... I dont use the Flying Fingers, so i use wrists and i can blast up to 117 like that and you can see my hand move up and down... i dont see that in your vid at all...
Whoever is saying it's a wrist technique is an idiot. It's "flying fingers". There's a few videos about it if you look it up. It's all in the fingers.
that was no wrist technique. I have done wrist technique for over a year since i never heard of FF, so I practised day after day until i can play 228 bpm PERFECTLY both hands and it seems to be my limit for wrist. I just started FF and im coming along, but im tellin you, that is NO wrist technique.
you can obviously hear hes out of time in the begining and its also extremly noticable in the end of the first part. as for the second technique its exactly the same as the first. and slow the metronome down you cant play that fast in time so dont do it
my drummer doesnt practice. Im allowed to be a dick. If your in a death metal band YOU NEED TO KNOW HOW TO DO BLAST BEATS. And even if he can't and he was atleast trying, i wouldnt be so pissed haha.
@Sabbath629 dude i had the same problem my drummer for one of my bands didnt blast. i blasted and i still blast faster and longer and im the guitar player. but he is coming along now gettin better. you just gotta motivate him man. well i blast faster cuz i play with my drummer for my other band and his blasts go for days. like cattle's to serve man album drummer. or like dying fetus's drummer. fuckin days
Well its not the fact that he couldnt blast, its the fact that he bailed on practices to get fucked up. He was honestly a waste of life, no job, didnt do shit in school, and didnt even practice. He quit cause I was "a nazi"
great technique dude, "flying fingers" is definitely the best for keeping speed and intensity going. just keep trying to work on staying tight, in the beginning you went a bit faster than you needed to, but then it smoothed out. great job man.
@UKrocketeer depends how you look at tempo 100-135 bpm it is in 32nd notes foot hand foot hand but if u put it in 200-270bpm its 16th notes alternating foot hand foot hand.
@thispagesux blast beats can in theory be everything from whole notes to 64ths or more, depending on what the tempo is. this blast is in 8ths, but if he had set the click to 135, it would be 16ths. noob ;p
is everything just repeated doubles or all singles? if singles i can't get more than like 210 or 215.. how do you get faster? i have been able to blast the same speed for about a year now there has to be another way, dont tell me flying fingers or practice practice. there's no way you can do that unless you got somethin else. do you hit the snare harder do you just flinch your fingers and hope they eventually go into tune? WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU DO DIFFERENTLY!!!
Most people can play faster but it's weaker since they're just using finger muscles to move the stick instead of wrist muscles. I don't do the finger technique (never bothered get it tight) but can blast at 250bpm (see my video). I do rimshots on every hit so I just found it easier to use my wrist to get that right angle instead using the finger technique.
you can't play fast without your fingers. I hate it when people only try to use wrists. That's so dumb. That's how you put stress on your wrists and wind up getting Carpal Tunnel or Tendonitis
carpal tunnel is due to the finger tendons moving repeatedly inside a tensed up wrist, which causes the inflammation. So if you don't use fingers, that won't happen hehe. Watch Derek Roddy's videos, his left hand uses only wrist motion, and he's not really slow at blast beats ;)
its actually harder to do it with one hand.. its harder to do with one hand on anything because your brain has to focus more on one hand rather than having the other hand to balance things out, like thats why he sped up or slowed down sometimes in the vid, if he had the other hand he would stay balanced
it's a turning motion with the arm/wrist like you would play tablesoccer. With your fingers (especially middlefinger) you can control and guide the stick. The thumb is up (not the hand backside)
it needs to be faster its doesn't sound brutal enough. you have to force your fingers dont just do your limit your fingers will tire but after the first few minuts your fingers will become used to it.
you should never do that if you are trying to go fast the more relaxed you are the looser your mucles are and the farther you can push them. tensing up does not only slow you down but it can severly hurt you.
yeah that i have been doing blastbeats for a long time and i never got hurt. wtf lol everybody is different some people can handle it and pussys cant.
not really a blast beat, a blast beat is performed on a drum kit along with bass pedal hits...this is a stick bouncing on a rubber pad. Put up another one with feet and proper drums!
@dinkydinky Yeah man, listen a bit closer. They're 8th notes. If they were 16th's, holy shit that'd be waaay too fast. Almost like gravity blast roll speeds.
its simple really, everytime the stick bounces up you lighty push it down with your middle finger and ring finger, this technique makes using your wrist obsolete
i can do this...but im still nowhere near as fast as nicholas barker, hes the god of blasting..listen to the song "blessings upon the throne of tyranny" or "For the world to dictate our death"
you are not even on time with the metronome. try practice on time with slower speeds. its not everything to be able to blast beat

And it is more like 260 bpm, btw ..

zakkah93 2 years ago 20
@zakkah93
the value of a note has nothing to do with the tempo.
a quarter note at 80 bpm is still a quarter note when played at 120 bpm
the difference between an eighth note and a sixteenth note would only be indicated in a time signature...
i agree with you that blast beats can be a note of any value, i just thought id correct the theory behind it
