sure it is mostly Single strokes roll but this guy is great , he is original and he got rock n roll in his playing , His grind and blast sounds BIG and it got balls unlike most of the grind drummers that without triggers would sound like a bee playing with a chopstick
@austin33309 The lyrics are actually quite easy to follow, except for Jane Doe. and when I listen to Converge, I look at Bannons vocals to be a whole different kind of instrument, it's not what you would expect from any other generic metal band, Converge is something different, they're not meant to be easy to get into. So it's understandable that you don't dig the vocals, I was the same way two years ago.
Look at the Chris Pennie's videos to understand why...the rolls are just easy but speed and repeat a lot of times but with one hour of training the song is cleared..
@acolyte27 i don't know why i called you a nazi, and i don't care but the fact your judging my drumming ability from a youtube comment says EVERYTHING, i'll stand by my original comment. and a music nazi? dunno how to explain it. "if you haven't got anything nice to say, keep your fucking mouth shut."
It's not so much the speed that makes it hard for me,but the changes(eg. right hand from snare onto bell of ride) he does so often. Anything i find hard to play, i often just played it slow and it get's easier and faster from there.
ok right ! I got it!!! ¬¬
