Roddy is way better than I had originally suspected. I mean I knew he could do really fast 32nd notes but this is something different. It's nice to see & hear! Very enjoyable! Jake_144
@rmarc11 hahaha duude i chose a pst5 18 inch over a zildian like a custom hahaha. it sounds ssooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo good and it was only 100 bucks :)
@TheOrisApparatus all metal drummers are more than speed, they all started doing simple 4/4''s. The reason why we, they choose to play fast is simply because thats what we like to challange ourselfs in and think is interesting to play. Hell if it wasn't we would play something else. The same goes for other genres. But other genres have a tendencie to complain alot over death metal drummers. And to be honest i have no idea why, don't they see metal as legit form of music?
@nonhasthisusername However i agree, there are those select few drummers who know nothing but blast. I once did a 6 hour recording session for a black metal band with a drummer that knew nothing other than bass-snare repeating, and didnt know how to do it well. It was the worst six hour of my life, but at least i got paid.
@rawking7732 derek roddy uses a clear pinstripe usually. He also uses Powerstroke 3's, the head in this video may be a stock sonor head similar to a powerstroke 3
3:25. Wow I've never heard Derek Roddy play anything with any kind of feeling in it at all. I have a much higher appreciation for him now. I thought he was all about speed and power. I find nothing wrong with metal drummers, I just hate when drummers ONLY work on double bass space speed, hand speed, and blasting.
so let me get this straight, if a really good drummer had the "worst" pedals. and did exactly the same, that is by some ridiculous technicality, makes him a better drummer?...... you guys are dipshits...
I personally think its impossible to compare drummer to drummer. Danny Carey has amazing chops and imagination as does Derek Roddy. I think we get to caught up in who is the best. Lets just sit back and enjoy, both guys are amazing.
this video got me into derek roddy, but theres probably nothing here that danny carry cant play, except the third mounted tom. These two are kings of craft.
@dsleeperhold derek doesnt posses any skill that anyone anyone could work up to. meaning that anyone could be this good if they practice enough. I personally dont like danny just because i dont think he is as good as people say he is.
but again with derek, drummers all over the world could be as good or better than him with enough practice.
@TheStockzzz So what? Anyone can play anyone's material. YOu tube is chock full of people covering carbon copy's of everything...That's not the point, what he's playing here he WROTE, and that's why good musicians get the credit they deserve...
wow! great vids but how many hi-hats and x-hats does he need lol but great sounding kits and cymbals. i'd like to know where the cowbell sound is coming from part way through
guys guys each to their own, some people like dw some people like sonor. and if it must be said alot of people have issues with the sound of dw kits. more so than professional sonors. and sonor's top end kits the SQ2 is alot more sought after than dw kits. also with concern to drummers why are you bringing up dave grohl and the rev t ocompare to derek roddy? dont kid yourselves. dave grohl is a standard rock drummer just like travis barker or whatever. the rev was ok but nothing on roddy
Great drumming but you can tell the drums are EQ'ed and added effect to oblivion. Sonors suck, they are beginner drums at pro prices and AA Meinl cymbals are ok but they're not the best, try Zildjian for a change! :)
@dwdrummer1991 He left Sonor because of difficulties with availability, not the quality of drums. I will discuss this no further, your stupidity was alredy proven on the PDF.
zildjian? zildjian? that has to be the most generic response to any other cymbal company being mentioned at the time... more like try PAISTE. masters of many alloys and sounds. not just A and K
Yes, the drums were EQ'ed. Oddly enough, Roddy regularly performs with EQ'ed and altered drum sounds. Would you demo an electric guitar without plugging it into an amp?
Sure, you can say you don't like Sonor drums, but suggesting that they "suck" just destroys any credibility to your statement. If anything, people are less likely to buy DW now because of your shitty comment :D.
Bullshit, everyone knows DW makes great quality drums and have reason to cost $3-4K a kit. Sonor just likes to try and rip people off with their beginner quality drums that are only slightly better than that Pearl Export garbage, if at all.
no but everyones sick of ur lil bullshit of how (in your view) DW is soo much better than Sonor. Why would u start a fight in the first place saying stupid things like "Ya sonor is beg-quality while dw pwns" obviously if ur brain isnt the size of a walnut u'd kno someone would go "hey not really". So stop critizing other drum companys just cus u think DW is the best
ok well asshole DW is wayyy better than Sonor and that is a FACT not just my opinion. Name some high profile drummers that play Sonor? I'm guessing they don't even compare to the likes of Neil Peart, The Rev (R.I.P.), Dave Grohl or Tommy Lee to name a few. If you think Sonor is so much better that's your personal preference but don't blame me when your skill, if any, is masked by your shitty ass beginner-sounding set.
rofl...just cus great players (Neil Peart and Dave Ghorl the other two are B) play it doesnt mean that its a good drum making company. and nah my skills are fine at drums not beg, why dont u post a vid of urself drumming if ur gona diss other people hmm?
i didn't say you were a bad drummer i just said that you were gonna sound like a bad drummer with a cheap ass beginner's set priced at $9,000. and I have plenty of videos, if you would actually click the link on my name, you would know that.
Oh uhm Thomas Lang, Danny Carey, Steve Smith and Phil Rudd (even tho he isnt really a great drummer still he's just one of my favs cus his style and how he is a rythm machine)
@Meatlooaf Actually, it was announced on Derek Roddy's forum itself that D.R. has decided to swtich to.. (drumroll please) DW. Better quality drums, better artist relations department, and he will be joining one of the more revered drum rosters in the company, where he belongs. Thomas Lang is another great drummer who decided to ditch his beginner kit for the real thing (DW) :)

Neil is one of the best drummers on earth, with one of the greatest minds on the drum set, not to say this guy is not good, but you can't really compare neil's style to his.
haha Dude, you're taking shit way too seriously. Did you really think you wouldn't find any differing opinions?
When I bought a high end kit, I chose a Sonor Delite over a DW. The DW was just a little more expensive, but I preferred the Sonor's sound. If you're talking about their Force series, yeah, that's mid-level. But trying to shit on their high end series when lots of world-class drummers choose their product? You're fuckin nutty, man. DW is good. So is Sonor.
The double pedal for his main kick to get the double bass sounds even i guess. And I guess he uses his second kick as a "side"kick for different sounds and grooves. I think he likes to play open with like a two-in-one kit configuration.
If i were Derek I would have swapped the two bass drums around and put a left footed axis double pedal on the left and the sonor pedal on the right, so you can use your right foot on both drums.
But Derek's smarter and builds up foot independance.
even shannon lucas frum the black dahlia murder. even though thats my favorite band of all time. roddy is just absolutely retarded at the drums man. hes a beast!
i would absolutely love to see those fags that worship drummers like travis barker faces after seeing this, or perhaps their faces after a good ol' duel of thunder between roddy and barker. Im pretty sure if derek went first travis would probably leave within the first 10 seconds. BTW i am fully aware these two drummers are not even comparable. Just saying.
@Genecidedrummer Yea, that's kind of like saying those who worship the ramones should be insulted by dragonforces guitar riffs, haha. It's just a matter of personal taste, but yes, I get kind of annoyed when I see people crazy over Barkers drumming; that's just his style though, this isn't. I like this video though. I wanted to hear this set so I can get it for my studio. I bought a Sonor 2003, but I'm looking for an upgrade. This would be a huge one I think. Pearl Reference Series seems good 2.
@Genecidedrummer Why do you have to compare Travis Barker to Derek? There styles are both completely different. However I do acknowledge the fact that Derek is better than Travis, but they are still not compareable at all. Travis' playing style is much more franetic while Dereks is more orchestrated
Not for pattern drumming it doesn't, and besides, Derek is so fast he can jump toms up and down when playing standard rolls, the only reason for having his toms like that is so you can play certain cymbals with high and low toms alike.
Otherwise he would have to buy some more cymbals.
Actually the reason he has his toms that certain way is so he can work on his left side coordination quite a bit more, and also because of space problems like he said in his dvd.

Thomas Lang is another great drummer who decided to ditch his beginner kit for the real thing (DW) :)

From Dereks site:
"Reason....plain and simple....very limited dealer base here in the states. That means... less chance of me being in a local store near you.
I love the Sonor company, the people, the vibe. I will always believe in their product. It has been the most difficult business decision I've had to make to date."
I'm sure there are more Pearl endorsed drummers out there than DW, does that make their drums any better?
Derek Roddy is an awesome drummer, on any kit!

Neil is one of the best drummers on earth, with one of the greatest minds on the drum set, not to say this guy is not good, but you can't really compare neil's style to his.

haha Dude, you're taking shit way too seriously. Did you really think you wouldn't find any differing opinions?
When I bought a high end kit, I chose a Sonor Delite over a DW. The DW was just a little more expensive, but I preferred the Sonor's sound. If you're talking about their Force series, yeah, that's mid-level. But trying to shit on their high end series when lots of world-class drummers choose their product? You're fuckin nutty, man. DW is good. So is Sonor.

The double pedal for his main kick to get the double bass sounds even i guess. And I guess he uses his second kick as a "side"kick for different sounds and grooves. I think he likes to play open with like a two-in-one kit configuration.

If i were Derek I would have swapped the two bass drums around and put a left footed axis double pedal on the left and the sonor pedal on the right, so you can use your right foot on both drums.
But Derek's smarter and builds up foot independance.

i would absolutely love to see those fags that worship drummers like travis barker faces after seeing this, or perhaps their faces after a good ol' duel of thunder between roddy and barker. Im pretty sure if derek went first travis would probably leave within the first 10 seconds. BTW i am fully aware these two drummers are not even comparable. Just saying.
Genecidedrummer 2 years ago 30
@Genecidedrummer Yea, that's kind of like saying those who worship the ramones should be insulted by dragonforces guitar riffs, haha. It's just a matter of personal taste, but yes, I get kind of annoyed when I see people crazy over Barkers drumming; that's just his style though, this isn't. I like this video though. I wanted to hear this set so I can get it for my studio. I bought a Sonor 2003, but I'm looking for an upgrade. This would be a huge one I think. Pearl Reference Series seems good 2.

@Genecidedrummer do you really believe that travis deserves a duel against derek?
i mean he sure sucks but, it's not good enough to see derek make a little effort against that crap
AlexLococo 1 year ago
@Genecidedrummer Why do you have to compare Travis Barker to Derek? There styles are both completely different. However I do acknowledge the fact that Derek is better than Travis, but they are still not compareable at all. Travis' playing style is much more franetic while Dereks is more orchestrated

@Longtom33
Not for pattern drumming it doesn't, and besides, Derek is so fast he can jump toms up and down when playing standard rolls, the only reason for having his toms like that is so you can play certain cymbals with high and low toms alike.
Otherwise he would have to buy some more cymbals.
molomono 2 years ago
Actually the reason he has his toms that certain way is so he can work on his left side coordination quite a bit more, and also because of space problems like he said in his dvd.

Yea he did say that yes xD
But still, it makes certain patterns much easier to play if you can go back and forth like that.
