Derek Roddy/4th Dimension

[watchyourst3p]

nigga is goooooood, nigga.

[170adamb]

im not ususlly a big fan of metal or super fast drumming but this shit seems superhuman,im impressed!

[sick898]

it's not the camera that's making the video lag, it is him being ultra fast :D

[vicacq]

paiste was definetly his best setup

[klick2destruct]

do us all a favor and buy a faster camera :D

[luciferincestus]

Its not his camera but youtube that fucked up this video and lots of other videos

[klick2destruct]

:-\

[jonesi3]

best switch u made was sabian to meinl (: your new fusions are sweeeeet

[matter311]

His Paiste set-up was still the best.

[iamjesper]

agree paiste is the best

[Arthemesic]

I prefer Sabian but I sure agree with you, the Paiste setup was far cooler, besides that Novo china owned

[calvinjaramillo]

Mr. Manhhattan in the 4th dimension nice

[Kancleri]

genialne, Derek Roddy jest najlepszy

[AlchemyDrummer]

Jest zajebisty ;)

[dtportnoyrox50]

Amazing job. is this the same drumset you used at the festival? because i loved the finish and the sound quality from that set was amazing in that theater

[JuanCarreras1]

is he triggering the basdrum?

[MetalFanatic600]

Yeah thats a trigger

[bendrummin]

How does he get that tom sound?!?!

[VikingAxeDeathMetal]

mics

[Renix0014]

Shure Beta 98ds

[KusiLiisA]

question for derek... how old you were when you started to play with douplebassdrums/pedals??

[JonnyWedel]

his Sabians sound the best of all his sets...

[Noch666]

I think somme AAX or HH sabian , about 18 ".

[EMPIR3KiD6]

can someone please tell me what kind of chinas he uses? thanks!

[citos31]

why isn't anyone talking about John Longstreth while comparing death metal drummers.He is a great drummer and i believe Mike Mangini would kick ass as a death metal drummer.

[calvinjaramillo]

double true!

[Horghdrood]

mmm...i think that Romain>Derek>George :)

[Markusblast]

Awesome oO

That's everything I'm able to say at the moment!

[zephyrous666]

romain vs roddy or kollias without triggers who win ? :P

guess we all know it

[deadsaviour]

they would all be the same without triggers as they are with them wouldnt they? cos george hits hard even though he triggers his kicks so does roddy

[zephyrous666]

hm mb ur right but i guess romain is some more tapping so the doesnt disturb ur face like roddy or kollias does

[DreamTheater4life]

then i dont think you've seen that video of romain's feet without triggers. it's LOUD!!!!! it's definately not tapping.

[zephyrous666]

ye ur right ;D already saw it

[INVOID666]

This is just AMAZING! YEAH!

[Arthemesic]

I think the 0:22 beat is too weird to be played in Death Metal or such. Doublebass with rudiments.

[drumpoopdrumpoop]

What song is that? That Hate Eternal?

[hellmetsucks]

dont believe its any drum part for any hate eternal song..he usually uploads videos of himself showing off something new, its kool

[drumpoopdrumpoop]

Thought so, thanks man.

[lacrosse900]

im a drummer, but you are the absolute best i have ever heard!! i thought my band teacher plays fast but u kick his ass!!!!!!!

[PxB]

he's fucking amazing¡¡¡ the fastest drummer of all¡¡

[gurinder321]

Best death metal drummer out there man. i dont think anyone can beat him in

[Arthemesic]

Flo Mounier is faster with all that hyperblasting etc. but not as technical as Derek.

Although, neither is the best. No one is.

[vicegrip37]

Yeah, But Flo is sloppy as hell.

[Arthemesic]

But he disguises his sloppyness real well. He actually makes speed-blasting look really easy. I find Derek really solid, if not TOO SOLID. :P

But each fit their styles.

[vicegrip37]

Yeah. True.

[chloroxjello]

I think Romain Goulon might even be a little faster than George and Flo. George still wins with the feet. Anyways, your right there is no best.

[Arthemesic]

I've actually neglected Mr. Kollias' videos, but I'm quite aware of his skill. But I think Romain Goulon uses the traditional blastbeat EXTREMELY FAST, but Flo uses hyperblast and gravityblast pretty much on the same tempo. I find hyperblast quite harder than traditional blasts.

[kikkojoey]

Fav drummer... best modern drummer

[1MorA1]

dam derek is a god i give respect to him

[chrisdawg002]

derek roddy is what happens when a death metal fan is brought up being tought jazz drumming

[linker21520]

Im nbot a drummer and this is impressive but something pushes me to believe thats sped up

[chloroxjello]

Nope, just standard death metal speed.

[sofiane123456]

one of the best modern drummers . my favorite by the way

[hghhghgg]

Leave it to Derek to apply "stone killers" to the drum set in a very musical way. Creative indulgence with a side of chop-building... truly inspiring.

[J0nnyo89]

Derek's a very creative player, always bringing new ideas forward. I think versatile is the right word.

[hyrael2]

This guys always impress me, damn ass !

[guysanzo]

very nice...not my style but you have some serious chops my freind. Best skills i've seen in your genre

[vicegrip37]

im almost that fast with double bass with out that much power not in my recent videos though

[brady666cz]

OMG....

[frankrizzo442]

OMG!!! YOU ARE A DRUMMER GOD!!! I've used some of your other teaching videos as well & it's freakin great! You're a very down to earth type of person & very inspirational. Keep it up Mr. Roddy. I as well as the other millions, will continue to watch your vids and your teachings. Thanks again.

[Zeppe666]

how many drumkits has this guy????

[MarcusNorberg]

I think he has 4 now.

[Zeppe666]

fuck!

[Deist]

thats fuckin awesome, wish I could hear this on new hate eternal.

[Nocturnaldeath]

Good

[Mikesabre]

Ha, "Like elfs frolicing in the forest. " Kinda sounds like it...

but VERY nice.

[DeadSuspect]

Again.. no words to describe Derek´s exclence :)

Cool blasts!

[slaryn]

Thanks Derek, kickas as usual! Big fan.

[brutalfritzy]

Wow, awesome.

[Mortuary85]

that is just awesome, can really see that applied to music.. great feeling

[nmolson]

awsome Derek! where would we be with out guys like you!

[Lobadi]

Awesome Mr.Roddy! \w/

[TheAnnihilator12]

Pretty sweet Mr. Roddy, i'd love to hear this in a song. Obviosly you can move the sticking on different drums. The sq2 kit sounds killer!

[TheAnnihilator12]

Another note, always coming up with new ideas to broaden the horizon for death metal drumming. (that might of sounded weird or not worded right..) Can't wait for more Derek!

[Kanwulf]

Very good !!! :)
