I would hate life if I were Mike Smith's snare...

[Jleedrummermetal]

he is hammer blasting thats why he's using two feet. the part he uses one foot is a traditional blast. some are just more compfortable using one footed traditional blasts

[beanerlove44]

Goodness, he wails on that snare during the blasts! That's impressive to hear someone play so powerfully. Gotta love Suffocation!

[patrick666ization]

dude im black i play drums i have dreads we are alike im just not god

[Slashbag69]

Why does he use both feet for blasting? So many of the other big death metal drummers just use one :/

[SandedFaceless666]

@Slashbag69 Because he's more brutal than they are ;)

[Slashbag69]

@SandedFaceless666 But he's not doing it any faster. It takes more skill to do it with 1 foot, then he can do other stuff with his other foot.

[zgates]

@Slashbag69 Why would he use just one? To be "pure"? Gene Hoglan once said he saw no good reason to use just one foot when it takes less energy and you get more power out of two.

[TheMonkeyBloke]

@Slashbag69

It may have something to do with him having his own sound. You have to remember that Suffocation have, and continue to set benchmarks for brutality; Mike Smith is simply leaving his mark with his extremely powerful sound.

[Slashbag69]

@TheMonkeyBloke I can see what you mean. I was just wondering because Derek Roddy does a lot of blasting, but he only uses one foot, which frees up his other foot to do different things at the same time.

[Bassbait]

@Slashbag69 Why not use traditional grip too? And only use the gravity blast? Well, the reason is because people have ways they feel like playing. George Kollias uses one foot for much blasting, and that's cool, I love him, but this guy uses two and he's great too. It's not about technique, it's about sound.

Personally, one of my favorite blasts is Dirk Verbeuren's triplet blast.

[VYours]

@Bassbait You can clearly see Mike one-foot blasting in this.

[Bassbait]

@VYours Well I wasn't really paying attention, so whatever, but my point remains valid.

[boltp777]

THE BLAST BEAT GOD!
