Utterly pointless. I would love to see him try without using heel toe doubles,they generate fuck all power or consistancy. it's all well and good being the fastest,but it sounds like shit.
Why does it take so much to do this though. The kick has to be just right the pedal has to be just right. Do u notice how when he start the notes are very blurry then after a few sec. He separates the notes. ???
Tim Waterson is just good at doing this feet speed stuff, he is not a good drummer, i ve seen some of his other videos and he s got neither musicality nor groove at all....
thats cool but can he do that with a band or can he even play on top of that??? that competition should require that the play some type of back beat!!!
tim can do much more then those damn doubles but in this vids it just looks its like "oh look tim can do quick doubles hes beest drummer" it does not make him look as good as he is. fuck it
Okay im not trying to sound like an ass BUT if you listen to the kick and look at his feet, he isnt really playing straight sixteenth notes, it sounds like he is making his beaters roll on the bass drum head because the sound and the beaters dont match up in the video. I mean regardless, he is playing it but all he is doing is rolling the beaters.
Anyone order this video? Does he do a good explanation of how to get this sort of speed? I have doubles, but I seem to hit a wall on getting higher than like 150...
Really nice! But i'm not sure that he's the fastest! I think George Kollias from Nile is even better, or at least as good as he is. The difference is that in this video,Waterson only uses his bassdrum. For me the art of drumming is to combinate it with your hands. So he seems really good to me, but i think that Kollias is better. If you don't believe me watch this video: George Kollias-Intense Metal Drumming DVD (part 1)!
yeah so what george kolias does a gravity blast that don't make you fast and george kolias and can only do a blast beat for 3 too 4 seconds so it's an opinion
george can blast for as long as he wants, and he actually does full strokes not just that tiny litle pussy tapping, and also george has awesome rhythm.
you're a dumb ass, george kollias is the greatest death metal drummer, 3-4 seconds my ass, fuck u man u dont listen to nile, tim waterson get like 3 cm off each hit and the second hit for his heel toe doesnt make a sound, so hes a cheater, george gets so much distance back, and is a much better drummer
thats not the point. waterson's technique may not be the best musically but the point is nothing more than he holds the record for the most notes played on a standard double bass setup in a minute. that's it. and just because he's got some mega fast feet doesn't mean that he's a great drummer outside of that. i haven't checked out his other stuff so for all i know he could be completely amazing or completely ordinary in every other sense.
well is certainly one of the best i would not say he is though. The thing about picking the best drummer its all subjective you can measure speed certainly but technique is harder to measure. I could not pick who is the best but george is one of my favorites. I think him and tim are friends actually.
Do you really expect that you can make a clear sound for each stroke when you're hitting 350 bpm?! Read the facts! Humans are a great thing, but not that great. We have our limits, listen to 1:30 do you hear the even stream of beats there? His heel doesent make a sound? You try in 350 bpm...
thats the dumbest thing ive ever heard said about george kollias. 3 or 4 seconds i mean are you kidding? dude you have no idea. tim waterson is sooo shit.
dude wtf have you been smoking he can do blast beats for fucking days tim waterson cant do shitgeorgw is deffenaly th fastest watch that video that 666metalbasser is talking about and maybe that will help you grow some balls faggot!
u must have never seen any of georges videos watch aeons of the burning galaxy he blasts for over a minute and have u ever heard nile thats nothing but melodic drummering with blast beats so ya ur dumb.....and he never uses gravity blasts
no way he is faster then Chad Walls, check watch?v=G7Uh_YQYSHU , then u'll see what it is fast...... and that's cheating, he plays only with his legs and he uses 2 double bass.....
u press on the bottom of the pedal as hard as u can, then if u want, follow up with the foot, and that's like a 8th or 16th note. if u have double bass, or double bass pedal, with enough practice, u can turn that into a clean roll or 16th notes.
he's fast i must admit.. but i dont like it so much cz the volume on his strokes ane not uniform. if you try to listen to joey jordison or flo monier, their strokes are more pronounced.. maybe cz they play heel up all the time.
i think theyre called triggers that makes the sound your talkin about, i dont think it makes a difference which technique u use, triggers just make the sound of each hit more defined so that when your playin fast stuff you can actually hear each hit rather than just a low rumbling sound.
im a guitarest tho so dont take my word for it but im pretty sure thats what they do
yea you're right...the faster you go the less hard you hit the pedal but if you use triggers it amplifies the beat so at faster beats it sounds better
what pedals is he using here in the end? of the video?

i think theyre called triggers that makes the sound your talkin about, i dont think it makes a difference which technique u use, triggers just make the sound of each hit more defined so that when your playin fast stuff you can actually hear each hit rather than just a low rumbling sound.
