Derek Roddy Forum Solo #1 By Julian Percy

[DoomDriver]

This guy is awesome but he still is a death metal drummer and the best thing he does is blast beats!

[MandragoraGaming]

RIP

[Scrumdilliisious]

Hey Julian,

Your playing will live on. We are all in awe of what you were able to create on this great planet. Take care internet friend. -Jim

[HonkyTonkBuffalo]

Cheers.

[ahflenz]

[TheMoellerKiller]

Hey brother I watch your videos often and miss you much my friend. Miss the great conversations we had about technique, drumming and life in general. Your great drumming and attitude will always hold high respect in my heart.

lo unico que puedo decir es que quiza este hombre era muy noble de corazon y que tocaba mas que excelente quiza Dios lo necesitaba en el cielo para tocar en su orquesta principal, su cuerpo paso a otro estado material pero parte de el quedo en el corazon de cada persona que le gusta como tocaba, a ti esposa y sus hijos a un año les deseo lo mejor y descanse en paz julian.

[whereat420]

unbelievably technical!

[sanusortus]

This is Julian's wife, thankyou everyone for watching Julian's videos he was a trully amazing player and never really knew his own talent. He passed away nearly a year ago from a rare blood cancer that destroyed his heart but kept on playing at an amazing level nearly right to the end

[occasusdrummer]

@sanusortus Well, too bad, I am sorry for that, he was for sure an excellent man ...

[ILikeBlastBeats]

@sanusortus He really is incredible, how long did he play for?

[elapidkeeper30]

@sanusortus .

sorry to hear about your loss. He was a great drummer!!!

[asphixa]

@sanusortus are you serious?? that's really terrible to hear..

[KoKaTa]

@sanusortus wowwww....this sucks...REally sorry to hear this...this guy is NUTS!! awesome drummer...and is real inspiration to me...i mean some of these beats are sick!!! once again. sorry to hear it

[bounty2444]

lol u look lke derek rooddy and you play like him sort of

[allmetaliswelcome]

makes me think it's george kollias

[SabianTamaDrummer]

how did he die? :|

[gannon048]

if i remember correctly it was an extremely rare heart condition. hadnt been well for some time and no tests were showing up with anything. he was leaving a hospital in melbourne and collapsed in the hospital. a doctor suggested testing for whatever it was julian had and people thought it was stupid just because of the rarity of the condition. unfortunantly it got the better of him and julians no longer with us. rip to such a monster of the kit

[TUBEORATER]

If Derek did die, this guy could stand in and nobody would notice.

[codyblasts]

R.I.P. This dude could have easily been one of the Australian drumming greats.

[fallendude01]

[Pole1994x3]

[DragonRomer]

[bigbaconburger17]

[EarlMcCrackin]

What the fuck? RIP bro. Your drumming was great...

[12eps12months]

rest in peace dude.

[LACRIOSWI]

a masterpiece... thats all I can say

[metallofolle]

wow!!!!

[stu798]

thats one of the most amazing snares i've ever heard......

:|

[nickers18]

agreed

[Kontaminate]

I like the sound of everything but the toms, really. the rack toms sound kinda tingy, and the floor tom doesnt seem like it has enough tone to me.

[shadowlorde]

do I hear some steve gadd influence in there?

great stuff

[Mangledcorpse]

SIIICK,my vote is for you man, just show me where's the showcase ? hehe

[misanthrope3]

LOVE IT!

[Drummerthatismetal]

Your kit reminds me of Gavin Harrison's! lol

[BlackHawk2029]

That's some great kick tone man. What's the head/mic combo, and how's she tuned?

[aeblaster]

hey man, killer grooves! what are you using for mic's and recording/mixing/software setup? I really dig the sound!

[Fear1The1Spear]

In some places it sounds like meshuggah

[zandiskoul]

dam. you have great technique but still play with the low tuned toms. i dont get to hear many guys play without snareline tight toms and setup and sound this good. true brutality. master of the craft.

[mirosotoz]

cymbols?

[mirosotoz]

smooth...

[mirosotoz]

pisses me off that hes so damn good, tho im a bit better... LOL, just kidding good rhytm n tempo wit this guy awesome just nuts!

GO DEREK!

[sanusortus]

[itslegit]

:)

[xeraen]

You are an awesome drummer and a true inspiration!

[Vissing]

I'm very much digging this setup! My setup is different, btw, hehe

[teramaze]

winner winner winner you should play more metal though!!!!hehe

[stu798]

Omfg that was awesome.

[cjcdrums]

Outrageous man, beautiful dynamics...

A lot of nice contrasts in your phrasing.

[SabianAxis]
