  • Awesome job, these songs take skill!

  • WoW !!!!!!!!!

  • YUR A NUT !!!!!! PLZ KEEP THIS SHIT GOING

  • woooooooooooah. if it was up to me you would be in Vital Remains

  • who apologies for the first minute of a professional audition video? /shuts it off

  • ratatatatatatatatatatattaa .... gääääähhn

  • dude your epic, and you live in moncton :P you taught ricki porter right?

  • Comment removed

  • dude that is fucking sick bro !

    i wish u were in my band :S haha

  • FUCKING SICK MAN ! U R AMAZING !

  • you'd better get ahold of me if your not busy,cuz you will be.

  • speeds like this should be against the law!

    I cant understand how you can be so skinny (no offense) and be so god damn fast with your hands and feet! Please explain.

    and what sticks do you use?

  • i think your blasting needs to be a little more powerful. other than that it was great

  • no triggers real power

  • I'd love to see some Jazz snob do this with the same two days time limit.

  • you are nothing else but fast...

    as a drummer of course, cuz you seem to be a cool guy...

  • @Dethjenk how would you know that? maybe he likes to play some jazz or rnb every once in a while, you dont know that.

  • @xx4door Dude, ask him! I fucking BET he is black metal drummer and death ofcourse, so i do not think that.

  • @Dethjenk ya i bet he is. but i bet thats not all he plays though thats what im saying. and look up the video of his drum solo with a big band. thats not death metal

  • @Dethjenk You're nothing else but retarded. lol Lets see you do any better.

  • @Galactis dude, i am not that fast, and i don't know if i even want to be. but i think i can play some metal songs on drums. i can play black metal and don't get me wrong, i appreciate mikes playing skills. he is great!

  • man thats a good looking drum set

  • 3:50 that's pure magic :o

    /respect

  • FUCKN INTENSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Bit of advice.

    Don't start off an audition tape with apologies. If I were making the selection, your tape would have been shut off before you even started playing.

    Keep it simple. Professionals in bands of that calibre don't want excuses. They want the goods.

    You're damn good too, so you don't have to qualify anything about your playing.

  • @WitchOvAgnesi Yeah that would be a wise and mature decision. Who cares about the skills right? He should have just started the vid with "Im about to fuckin fuck this shit up" and started.

  • did you make the spot?

  • hey can we ( me and my friends ) hear some job as a cowboy covers?? That would be cool.. later

  • THATS BRUTAL!!!!!!!!!!!

    EPIC!!!

  • just checked out your drum demo's, and its sounding alot tighter, better sound quality too :D

    so i take back the sloppyness comment, after all, lord marco is a fucking beast to live up to

  • marco sucks...

  • i give you credit, because i wounldnt be able to play this myself.

    however personally i think its a tad sloppy overall, just need to tighten up the screws a lil more.

    But hey, playing at near the 300 bpm mark, and doing a preety good job, well fucking done!!

  • fucking awesome

  • Great drummer...

  • =D he works at the place I take lessons

  • 1:50 up to around 1:56 and some other parts.

    spastic or sped up sry but ... it is apparently

  • Or just laggy camera?

  • yeah this guy works where i take guitar lessons

  • who gives a flying eff youll never be near as good as him u fag!!!

  • holy crap..

  • You shoould post ,ore vids.

  • fuck dude that was killer man

  • O_O

  • fawk this guy lives an hour away from me

  • where do you live cause me too!

  • you must be crazy... they had good distance. It wasn't 3 feet distance like George Kollias does it. But it wasn't "tapping" distance like you say it is.

  • You are fucking insane man!!! Then again you do have the singles record...

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • Honestly I think it's ashame they didn't choose you. You did an awesome job of the song, killer set by the way. I just thought of this. George Kollias vs Derek Roddy, who do you think would win? (I'm asking anyone who reads this.

  • I'm curious to know who did they end up choosing. Do you know? And I pick Kollias. And I really can't decide which is a better drummer so I go with George just because he looks cooler playing the drums.

  • I don't know. I've seen Tim Yeung with them which if they chose him over Mike that'd be like a punch in the face. I think George is better because not only is he faster but he's good at a lot of things with drums. But both are just very even.

  • Comment removed

  • Tim Yeung is fucking insane too!!! I'm fine with either him or Mike Mallias, they are both good!!! (corrected)

  • george kollias

  • Actually, they did choose him, but Mike turned them down for some reason that I can't remember right now trains. And for your question, Derek Roddy, hands down trains.

  • Fuck you waiting for the song and is not playing !! hahaha xD at 1:10 and you look arround at 1:15 like what the fuck!! jahahaha xD

  • Could you please post a vid demonstrating your finger blast method? I've been having such a difficult time, and this song and vid inspires me each time. CHEERS!

  • Mike, I know it can be quite a challenge to score well at a WFD event because of all the pressure, etc. I haven't been able to attend an event yet but I made my best effort to try and beat your 5 minute and 1 minute wfd records. Check my vids if you care to see it. Anyway, maybe you could post your own "at home" records since it's not fair to put that against wfd records. I'd love to see your speed with the "home court" advantage!

  • Kool Dude,

    WFD rules are in place to keep fairness for everyone across the globe... so keep that in mind when attempting "home records"... your technique suits a shot more in Tim Watersons direction for Doubles....Alternated LRLR or not that is still a double stroke technique and has no validity in the singles category. Train Hard and we'll see ya at the next Event!!!

    Mike

  • Alright Mike, thanks for the information. I have a lot of people telling me I need to go to comps. I keep checking the wfd site but there's nothing for upcoming events. Do you know when and where the next one will be? Also, if im going to train for it I want make sure I'm training under the right rules. Do they have a rule sheet with very specific guidelines as to what they consider a single stroke and what the pedals will be set to?

  • @Dreammotive

    SEE!!! What did I tell you... the technique you are doing counts as doubles regardless of your LRLR patterns.

  • See what?

  • uhhh... that your foot technique counts as "double strokes"

  • yeah we talked about this a long time ago and you just posted a new comment like some new information had been revealed. I still appeal to longheld standards of NARD and PAS rudiments to define what singles and doubles are. This is what is taught in every Music school in the developed world. what new information do you have to overturn this centuries old terminology?

  • @Dreammotive

    centuries old??? lol... anyway, whatever, what I see as singles is any up/down motion with each foot. But hey you know about these standards than I do, so I can't really say anything.

    since "double strokes" is LLRRLLRR patterns, shouldn't it be harder to reach faster speeds with that. I mean... it feels as if Tim Waterson did 1407 strokes a minute with ONE FOOT!!! (except with using both feet, if you know what I mean...)

  • Im not sure how old it is but its roots go into the 1800s so its at least 1 century old accepted standard. Singles/doubles/triples/quads are all defined by the number of strokes played with 1 limb before applying the other. The method used to achieve is irrelevant. its definitely easier to get high speeds with a rrll pattern because you can just use 1 motion and press into it to bounce out the 2nd beat with almost no extra energy. extend that concept to multiple bounce strokes & u get 2000 bpm

  • @Dreammotive

    oh I see... the human body is an amazing instrument!!

  • Also, I have another question for you if you have the time to answer, is the best way to get an accurate drumometer count to stuff the bass drum as tight as you can with blankets?

  • Yes, it eliminates all chances of false readings from the resonating drum head. However, all rebound will be lost, so expect to "seem" slower.

  • That's true but it also eliminates actual hits on the drum. I don't know if you do any bass drum speed runs but it's a pain in the butt to get that thing accurate. If you stuff too tight you can just sit there playing away and the count doesn't even go up one beat and then obviously it can count micro-bounces if there's not enough. I just have one big pillow leaning against my head right now and it's more accurate than anything else i've tried. It's a strange science.

  • @MikeMachine great fuckin machine, great job bro

  • Comment removed

  • all the records are single strokes you are doing double storkes check out guido wyss his heel toe strokes beat yours over 9000 lol sorry but it's true

  • Well I'm sorry it's confusing because a lot of people use heel-toe for double strokes but as I mentioned in the video mine are single strokes alternating RLRLRLRL. Of course Guido Wyss can beat me he's using Sonor's quad pedals. The contest is for double pedals.

  • nice, very nice

  • WTF great fucking drumming

  • My friend, in Vital Remains or not you'll be just fine!!!

  • what are the sizes of your toms

    plz reply

  • Do you prefer play double bass pedal without shoes instead with shoes? Is it better without shoes? Because I want to learn and I would like to know which is the better way.

  • i think doubl bass is better with shoes cas i get better grip on the pedals

  • I find it easier to play with running shoes.

    Such as New Balance.

  • or Nike...

  • Neither is really better. It just depends on how you feel about it. For a while, I played without shoes, and then athletic shoes, then skate shoes and now I'm back to athletic shoes.

  • i met him at the pawn shop too i even shook his hand my bro intreduced me to him

  • im gonna go ahead and say it... george kollias... id like to see him hooked up to a drumometer or something... im dying to know george kollias's 100% effort

  • oh yeah dude ! that would be awesome ...his 270bpm ...daaamn

  • is that supposed to be an insult, or compliment towards Geoge Kollias... internet is no fun without non existant sarcasm

  • are you dumb ?

    im not the kind of kid that thinks that joey jordison is the greatest and fastest drummer !

    and yes my comment was meant to be a compliment towards george

  • dont see who wouldnt but your hostility is not welcome, no need for insults towards me.. george kollias is pretty awesome... and jj really sucks

  • me too!!! I never feel that he's ACTUALLY going his max!!!

  • this dudes from moncton? no shit. Iv never meet anyone that can drum like that next door here in fredeircton.

    absolutly awesome drumming man!

  • i lived in moncton, new brunswick for a while and met some people who knew mike... pretty crazy to think that connections to people like him are possible in such a relatively small area.. met a drummer who bought some kick pedals off mike, he was a pretty fuckin brutal drummer too! mike just joined my former guitar teachers band, Dischord.... i guess im ranting haha

  • i cant believe he turned down the opportunity to tour after putting forth this much effort.

  • i met this guy at a pawn shop

  • yeah that's what i,m talkin about!

  • Maybe, but this guy has the fastest feet in the world. Check him out.

  • He isnt the fastest.

  • Was in '07 for double bass.

  • and he isnt the fastest George Kollias is

  • All I'm sayin' is... He won World's Fastest Drummer for 2007 on double kick. So stop tryin' to be an idiot when it's a fact.

  • Holy shit that is him! Dude I was like, is that the same guy or what?

  • Mike Mallais holds the official world record for the fastest double bass. He got 1030 strokes in 60 seconds, and thats about 250.85 bpm, and Kollias never really holds a double bass pattern without a break for more thatn 15seconds, so I don't think he could pull it off for a minute straight (for now, that is).

  • George Kollias is not the fastest. There are lots of faster drummers. Mike Mallais has the official record for fastest double bass, but there probably are a lot of faster drummers that just don't get as much attention.

  • okay than i didnt mean the fastest but fast... and G. Kollias plays one feet

  • Im so sick of hearing that, ooo one foot, what the fuck does that have to do with anything?

  • mostly...

  • how do u blast that fast

  • shut up man, i am sure that you must be the worst drummer in the earth, shut up and don't say stupidities. i think taht drummer is good, have good speed.

  • mhm yea suuuure and im santa

  • harsh is an understatement when describin this song. Its painful to play blah.

  • so mike, did you get the tour??

  • you suck ass,thats mike machine your talking about loser

  • Haha.

  • Exactly... What a dumb fuck.  Think he was sarcastic.

  • This is SO impressive.

  • Fucking awesome. You are a great drummer. That was genious metal drumming. My only criticism is that your double bass pedaling was only a smudge sloppy during some of the song, but it is pretty minuscule and doesn't really affect the song. Overall, you rock tits.

  • wow you're really good . i didn't really understand why my cousins wanted your autograph this summer but now i do. ahah. keep up the awsome work !!!

    Peace.

    ps. i'm still scared of you im never going near you again when you have an electric bug killing thing in your hand .. NEVER I TELL YOU !!!

  • wow im pretty sure me and mike have the same kit specs

    10" 12" 13" 16" for the toms

    then 14" snare and 20x20 bassx2

  • Tu primes man... T fou !

  • how did you train you left hand for blasting. I mean my right is about the same speed and has a pretty good bit of stamina but i can only do it about half the speed with my left.

  • Do some weights. Build up your muscles on your left arm. So it stronger so you can have more stamina and speed. And just keep practicing with your left hand. Its cuz u barely do stuff with you left hand so its not as strong as ur right. I just use my right to do blasting though.

  • You don't really need muscle to blast good, I mean look at Mike in the video, his arms don't look very big.

  • Doesent mean theres no Muscle's their. You need to have some muscles there to keep up the stamina. You do only use ur wrist and fingers but its still a good idea. Like people go running and biking so they get muscles on their legs to do do double bass.

  • Just playing a lot should build up your muscles. Some drummers use ankle/wrist weights when they drum though, but it's dangerous.

  • Yeah but adding some weight lifting etc can make you better with speed etc. But not too much though then youll be way too heavy on ur hands and arms and ull just smash the drums lol. I use my wrist's to Blast and im trying to do the finger technique as well which is quite hard. But yeah you can break your wrist and ankles by doing it. But its a good thing. If you break a bone itll get stronger after......I think :S

  • Geez Cannibalcorpse55 what the hell are doing lecturing this guy about hand speed? This is a 1050s bpm hand speed competitor in world championships. Put down the crack pipe kid. LOL!!!

  • WTF man?! I never said this guy was bad or anything. I was telling the other guy just to like do some weights and practice more to do better blast beats. He asked a question about how do you train your left hand for blasting. And i gave him an ansewr. To do some weights and practice more. Thats what i did and im pretty good at blasting as well.....so yeah wht the hell are you on about. I think you should put down the Heroin Syringe.

  • Oh shut up Cannibalcorpse. Considering that you were arrogant and stupid enough to answer a question addressed to Mike Mallais and not you (being that its his video), and not once but several times...It would be easy for most anyone to believe that you were talking about Mike. And who are you to pass judgement on anyone when you can't even tell when someone ISN'T talking to you.

    Sure, everyone wants unsolicited advice from an anonymous asshat when Mike is right here. Get the hell out.

  • Seriously WTF. Ok i didnt know this was his Vid. i thought some other dude put it up. But anyway i have the right to ansewr a question even if its addressed to someone else. How can you call me stupid and Arrogant by doing that?!That question was posted 3 weeks ago. I dont see Mike Replying to that question. So yeah i have the right to ansewr and share MY opinion on how to better yourself at Blast beating. And anyway those 'several times' were ansewrs back to replies i got.

  • I wasent even talking about fucking Mike. I never said he was fucking bad or anything. I was giving some advice to someone else because i can and i did. I have the right to do that. I didnt even pass judgment. I never said any one was shit. I gave em advice. Yeah ok im not the best drummer but thats how i practiced my Blasting. SO yeah how about you get the fuck out. YOu dont have the right to pass judgment on me on something i didnt even fucking do. i was giving Advice and MY opinion fuck tard.

  • I didnt even do anything wrong. I think your the fucking arrogant and retarded one by not reading other peoples comment propely. I didnt do anything wrong and then you come along and tell me to get out and clal me arrogant and stupid when i was giving an Opinion. Do you get the concept of Opinions or are you one of those people who like to start arguments for no reason. How about you fuck off you cunt. Or ill hammer down the nails on your face you fuck tard. Jesus wWTF is wrong with you.

  • yeah your right damn i forgot he was only the session drummer for the tours at that time.

  • Pretty fuckin brutal :P

  • bad fucking ass. pretty much the only good drum cover for this song. if anyone can play a tim yeung song then i have to give it up to them. you need so much fucking stamina to play his material.

  • tim did not record on any VR albums, Dave Suzuki is the drummer and guitar player for the recordings

  • He has the world record, yet it's still hard for him to blast fast enough to play this song.

  • Oglop !!!

  • At around 7:08 that's crazy how he chokes both of the cymbals alternately with seperate hands.

    I dont know, im a guitar play, not a drummer, so maybe it's not that hard to do, i wouldnt know, but it fucking looks cool!

    This guy is sick.

  • becuzz hes worlds best drummer search mike machine world record and u will see

  • My hairy ass, he's far from the best drummer, imbecile.

  • it's hard haha

  • to be able to do this for 7 minutes is amazing, props due

  • YES!! I AM

  • 8 hits per hand.

    omfg

  • Does anyone know if he got it?

    On another note, I can't believe he's using Pearl quad-beaters for that speed.

  • no he didn't get it

  • He got it, but he turned it down because he had stuff to do, or something like that.

  • oh i was just going by who actually went on tour - definitely a great opportunity he passed up though. I'm glad to hear that he really did get it, this guy is great.

  • u have talent

  • Ppl that say he has no technique are just using lame excuses as compensation for not being able to do it themselves. if they were smart they would realize it takes technique to be able to keep that speed up for that long. Stop hating

  • guys thats brutal metal ... i dont really think that technique matters here

  • Lol.

    Oh you're serious?

  • only speed... where is the tecnhnic??

  • without technique no speed...

  • true

  • You try just going and hitting that hard and fast for that long, I guarantee it won't happen.

  • nearly as good as me hahahaha

  • christ dude, I'll need you to show me that at next lesson hahaha that's crazy

  • mike mike mike!!!!

  • did you get the part? please reply

  • That fucker is speed!!

  • Irish actually.

  • This guy has got Chops!!

    Well for the ones who want Funk... we are curently making a Primus cover thingy with ol' Mike Machine... so come to NB... september-ish

  • wow that fuckin amazeing

  • man you are awsome hey you wanna play in my band hahaha great job though legandary

  • yea you have a drum module but do you trigger your bass drums?

  • ummmmm...... a bit to many symbols

  • ummmm......he only has six and I  believe it cymbals, but I don't know I've only been playing for 8 years.

  • haha exactly man

    that guys an idiot

    and did u mean to many cymbals played or in the kit, bc u gotta remember he didnt write the song dickchin

  • V good. Didn't like all the excuse making at the beginning though... never a good idea in an audition..but you say you were offered the job so congrats on that.
