Sick Drummer Magazine - Namm 2011- Derek Roddy - Axis Booth Demonstration #2

[TheAnnihilator12]

@schward: of course. I'm just saying it is kind of annoying to hear/read people say 'hey..play bleed!' or 'oh man hes playing bleed by meshuggah!' etc.

Just a petpeeve is all and a lot of people still don't know that they're hertas.

[thealexrooms]

holy shit!

[thtawsomekid33]

holy crap!

[LDP060681]

Playing better here than on the DT audition....

[jacksdrumshop]

for as not metal as this was, holy shit that was brutal

[CanMetan]

I LOVED Roddy but this video sux hard..... Pure speed no music.....

[Cannibalcorpse55]

@CanMetan What about the beginning at the 40 sec mark. He plays a fantastic groove, and his fills are awesomely incorporated into it. Play some funky music behind what he was doing and it would suit it.

[Cannibalcorpse55]

@CanMetan And plus, don't complain about "speed". You know what Roddy plays mostly right? Death Metal. Which has some speed into it. Speed is a skill on drums. It depends how you do it and how you look at it. Sure someone just hitting random cymbals very fast doesn't seem skillful to some. But you need a lot of endurance and stamina to keep the pace on.

[thedrumbeast666]

Sick drummer.... YOU VIDEOS SUCK... THE FUCKING AUDIO IS TERRIBLE

[hyde2042]

@thedrumbeast666 You should buy them mics then.

[goldennugget100]

K so, Derek Roddy has become very fast over the years I gotta admit

[Getchafuck1]

BAD ASS BUT BOBBY JARZOMBEK KICKS THIS GUYS ASS BIG TIME !

[thtawsomekid33]

@Getchafuck1 Bobby Jarzombek's a damn good drummer, but Derek Rodey has him on speed, and endurance

[MultiDrummer2009]

Sounds vintage.

[pcrvg0808]

HAHAHAAAAAAA

[pcrvg0808]

Before anyone feels the need to say : This is not the drummer of Messhugah .

I know ! i was referring to the drum pattern on 02:13.

Duh ....

[pcrvg0808]

MESSHUGAH

[bodomtopps]

@pcrvg0808 bleed



[pcrvg0808]

@bodomtopps the fifth ?

[glacier2win]

3:55 to 4:00 look at at that asshole towards the top left screen, texting. You're watching Derek Roddy, get off the god damn phone.

[DiminishedTB]

that floor tom/Bass rol is OWNAGE

[JaydrumsRV]

1:33 ...WHAT THE FUCK

[KJjonjon]

I got chills man

[danielrevenboer]

am i the only noticing he is playing bleed of meshuggah at 2:00 nice, he just owns it...

[MetallicOpeth]

@danielrevenboer that rudiment has been played WAY before Bleed man...read above comments

[Steve128967]

Hey SDM, do you know what was kit being used in all the vids from the Axis booth this year? I know the cymbals are Meinl Soundcaster Fusion, which are awesome, but damn those drums sound so tasty!

[sickdrummerdotcom]

@Steve128967 Off hand no. it was the owner of Axis pedals kit.

[Rougarou13]

@sickdrummerdotcom Knowing how the guys at axis work from the conversations I've had with them on the phone. I would not be surprised if Darryl didn't build the kit himself.

[gilswc01]

fuckin great!



[zachf914]

Those herta rudiments are fuckin sick...

[riomariucci]

2:13-2:34....how the hell does Derek know how I warm up?

[michaelz6366]

god damn man derek is so  good at drums it should be illegal

[Bultjaevel]

Derek got some sick power in his feet. Don't believe many drummers can blast without triggers and still make the bassdrum loud and clear.

Great drummer, great personality. Hope to meet him some day. Keep rocking D!

[nigelic]

u guys know if george did a video at namm too? cuz i saw that he was there too

[sickdrummerdotcom]

@nigelic He did not perform...this year but next year is another story

[nigelic]

@sickdrummerdotcom k thanks

[sickdrummerdotcom]

The best thing about Derek is this video... He can sit on any kit, anywhere... and make it sound good! He runs through these toms like they were his own, and that's the hardest thing. Amazing...

[Compendyum]

Drummer (DR) too good for this ugly sounded kit.

[michaelz6366]

@Compendyum yea this kit does sound like shit

[TheAxeGrinder100]

Derek is always fun to watch! Skilled dude!

[jcbecker]

this guy plays alot like i do, except like 200% more refined

[Compendyum]

@jcbecker We would be pleased to see that.

[jcbecker]

@Compendyum You would like to see me play 200% less good as this?

[Compendyum]

@jcbecker A normal drummer is like, less 1000% then Derek Roddy, so, yes.

[baronofhell08]

i thought the floor tom/bass drum blast was my origional idea :( , on the bright side , great minds think alike.

[THATGUYTHATBLASTS]

Dirk Verbeuren better than DEREK RODDY?? Hahaha, Derek Roddy excels in all genre's and is a god at eachone. Dirk does non stop skank beats.

[TheAnnihilator12]

For fucks sake people..it's not "Bleed" by Meshuggah..they're HERTAS. A rudiment.

Every single damn video I see where someone plays hertas on the feet people gotta yell "bleed!"

Also this entire video is ridiculous. D is the man!

[frogbeergolfgolf]

@TheAnnihilator12

FUCKING THANK YOU!!!!.... Goddam. Like everyone always is like OMG BLEED. Its a damn rudiment they popularized. They didn't invent it or anything. They just made good use of it in a song.

[sickdrummerdotcom]

@TheAnnihilator12 Ps while were on the Tomas topic he is better from back surgery everyone go say whats up to them, there going back on tour and releasing a new record!

[schwarg]

@TheAnnihilator12 No, but you have to admit, after that song came out the prominence of that rudiment on the kick drum has been ridiculous. Not saying he was first, just that he greatly popularized it.

[jr0014]

that floor tom/bass drum roll is sick.

[ImaPirate83]

1. why does his kick sound like shit?

2. i'm pretty sure almost everyone that will watch this video with any idea of who derek roddy is will realize when anyone plays bleed.

3. he's not really playing bleed, unless it's either the end of one of the patterns from the song, he's fucking with it, or i'm just really high.

[sickdrummerdotcom]

@ImaPirate83 We were hanging out with Tomas Haake the night before so...who knows ;)

[Incisionator]

@ImaPirate83 "Look at me Thomas ! I'm faster than you without triggers!"

[nonhasthisusername]

@ImaPirate83 i believe his kick sounds shit because he plays a factory set kit. no pillows inside etc.

[Steve128967]

Oh man, this guy is amazing...

[Chuloloc]

Awesome. My favorite extreme metal drummer. Hail Derek Roddy.

[sohaib785]

2:20 is meshuggah's bleed!

[Steve128967]

@sohaib785 Well actually, he's playing the pattern from it (hertas w/ 32nd and 16th notes) but the left and right hands are totally different.

[sohaib785]

@Steve128967 i know..i was on about the foot pattern and the left hand..the right hand plays quarter notes rather than 8th notes and uses the ride cymbal instead of the china

[DDrummerIbarcena]

Amazing!! Derek always impress me, even behind this kit that seems not too good for fast playing. I mean, he kick the Scott Fuller's (Abysmal Dawn) ass so bad behind this kit.

[Doggepp]

Am i the only one who believes Derek is abit overrated? Sure, he is a great drummer and all that, but for example, Dirk Verbeuren slays Derek, in my opinion atleast...

[Gigadrane]

@Doggepp Depends Derek Roddy specializes in Extreme Death Metal.........Overall Drumming our Genre drumming.....you can never compare until you see a live comparison.......i.e face to face drum battle or demonstration....

[Doggepp]

@Gigadrane Check ouy Dirk Verbeuren and reply again

[josedistant]

Holy Shit!

[dtportnoyrox50]

1:32 just my favorite part. he is one of the few people who can actually do this at extremly fast tempos

[Doggepp]

@dtportnoyrox50 he and every single contestant in "bass-speed" competitions...

[mmnjk99]

2:20 is bleed by meshugga

[goatskindreams]

Can i haz your drum set?

[Gigadrane]

Vid is unlisted ? Only those with the link can see it....whats that about ? I'm watching it right now,but still......
