Derek Roddy/ J.P.Soars/Todd Edmunds....jam 1

[Xanadude575]

Awesome jam! But man, I've never seen someone position their guitar so high as that bassist does.

[SideWays8Productions]

Finally an extreme metal drummer who can play more than just metal. Fuckin' A+, Derek! \m/

[luftikus91]

[FuckinMetal3694]

[blackbloodvomitorium]

i know man looks like the guy wants to eat it!!

[Omarmadrid77]

Y donde esta el RITMO? :(

[SuperZemanel]

exactamente. este gajo nao sabe o que é um a clave ou um tumbao...

[SporkThis]

Niiice. It takes skill to leap styles so seamlessly.

[8shredder5]

What a line up and amazingly tight jam! JP shreds with the best of them, metal, blues, gypsie jazz, you name it!

more please!

[hawkcwg]

Man you can this is a metal drummer, because the feel is different haha.

[schult77]

i hate how high that bassist keeps his guitar. it's kinda annoying

[hawkcwg]

haha yeah haha

[Exhume2Consume]

its a different level of control.

[asadodemierda]

derek. stay brutal jaja. he definitly is not good at this kind of rythms

[2goldplz]

Like u know.

Quiet please.

[LycanthropicArt]

Doh! I didn't hear/see any blast beats. I heard at 06:01 where Derek started kicking double bass, but I didn't hear a blast. Did I miss something? Thanks.

[666jank666]

no you did'nt.....wait...yes u actually missed to listen to what derek roddy is saying in other videos ;) ;) *you know, go and see some jazz drummers and that stuff ;)

[1japserr1]

then you should watch again, because at like 1:50 or something he's playing blastbeat.

[LycanthropicArt]

Yep, I see it (and hear it now). Thanks. I'm not sure how I missed it... but, I did. Thanks, bro.

- Wulf

[Sakkuriru]

So? Buddy Rich played blast beats. Was Buddy terrible at this style as well? I think not.

[BAAH4000]

YOU ROCK MY FUCKIN SOCKS!

[Hheawy]

cool! you guys look like having so much fun

GO DEREK

[Fleshcut]

the sound quality wasnt the best but i love it!

the beginning rythm and later the blast beats was awesome!

[corpsehammer666]

slappa da bass

[Locrum]

Like the music, but I don't think I'd be comfortable playing bass that high up. LIke the strap shrunk in the wash, lol. Sweet playing all around though.

[the5thcolum]

This is amazing, loved the blast beat you added in!

[iplaywithnoshoes]

Dude!

That's Caravan Right?

[suzyqblues]

The road of the caravan.

[sorbosux717]

damn! looks like the years are catching up to jp.

[abhimuscat]

I know that this is very good music, but I'm not a big fan of it. The drumming is way beyond me. I'll stick to metal. inspite of the speed, you can understand the drums

[EmbodiedDespair]

Come on, man! Make it within your grasp, and you can challenge a whole generation of musicians who have the same mindset as that

[abhimuscat]

but i cant even figure out whether he is hitting the toms or snare or hat at the beginning or the rim of the snare

[uriangatobataclan]

The sound quality is not that doog :(, but hey! Caravan is always nice to listen to!!! Very nice!! And as an Australian would say: "very noise". Hahahahaha!!

[MetalFanatic600]

I dont like music that you have to fucking think about when listening to lol

Not my type

I think ill stick with basic Jazz:P

[cygnusbass]

haha damn i thought i wear my bass high up..

amazing stuff derek! so much feeling and diversity

[richard833]

holy shit his arm must hurt with his bass that high lol

[simasuma]

y'all be breakin mini-blinds left and right!

[underscoreisnotvalid]

HAHAHA OMG has the bass player got the bass high enough?!

[rendog92]

I know, wtf

[bexgh666]

dude, you should worship that bassplayer! he's like the only one to ever surpass the beatles! xD

[suzyqblues]

Love that shit at 5:24!

Come to Colorado to do this for me in my livingroom.

Aloha......SQB

[ThaDeeStylee]

Gnarliest version of Caravan ever!

[drummernyc]

Yeah D!!! Very Cool

[ventsintheedge]

nice....you are a pro!

[eviltuba]

me like's de blast beat!!! It sure is fun......I don't think Duke Ellington ever envisioned this happening to his song...evolution!???

[suzyqblues]

Thanks for the Happy Thanksgiving Day phone call, E. T.

You made my day.

See you in March, Sweet Georgia Brown.

Aloha.......SQB

[blast664]

Great!

You should do a fusion record!

[reyvaxx1306]

In my opinion I think that you are under rated. Everyone today is only talking about Joey Jordison, Dave Lombardo,etc... I am not saying that they are bad. I think they are awesome drummers and I really enjoy watching them play but it is too bad that people just focus and talk about those popular drummers. I have learned so much about drumming just by watching you play.

I might be wrong about all this but this is honestly what I think. Keep entertaining and surprising us Derek!

[AsAllHopeDies92]

amen to that bro

[LemonDragoon]

@reyvaxx1306 Some good word right there!

[danieltroche]

hey derek,just saw ur vid for modern drummer and obviously u were the best one.ppl cricize it because its metal but all the drummers played the same crap.i can listen to some jazz but its really boring,they dont sound exciting and intense like u do even its a diffrent style.a lot of ppl r just envious of u.keep doin wat u do and wish u the most o success.

[hewh0runswitwolves]

worrrrrrrdddddddd this shit is sick

[poopashardasrock]

i very thoroughly enjoyed this!

[paistedw762]

that bassist needs a new strap!

[Dank420Nugz]

fuckin hip man!

[skater15153]

to all the people that say he can't play anything else...you all suck cause here's your proof he is a very well versed drummer

[kdaviper]

and obviously, they havent watched his past 454986549864 vids that he's posted.

[Svajen]

You've gotta looooooove the blast beat at 1:48 :)

[calvinjaramillo]

damn didn't notice that the first time (I skipped through it) that WAS cool :D

[fromint]

yay, i love caravan

[Larrsa]

hahaha nice

[SabianDude76]

Sick stuff D.

[EmbodiedDespair]

necro free-grooves

[Maitzeth]

nice, derek!... jeje

[sandonstrings]

derek, could you maybe explain what you are playing the first few bars...this tom groove thing?!

i would apreciate that :)

[MrObsidian]

The feet are playing a clave' rumba pattern.

The hands are just vamping on the top of that. No set pattern...just basing it off the melodies lines... I hear with-in the music.

Right hand on the floor tom and the left hand is cross sticking on the snare.

Just feeling it....trying to make "music" Haha.

Cheers.

D.

[sandonstrings]

thanks a lot!!!

so than you are improvising...damn! :D

i'll have to learn more latin-music

do have any cd tip?

[PHIL25061993]

its sounds great

[Zuberzuber]

wooo nice jam guys

[lapiska]

Great jam... And nice use of cymbal stands! Hehe.

[IsmaelBorgir]

Excellent!

[bplus1plus1]

Ha this reminds me of a certain George Carlin sketch. 'sick of guys named Todd'.

:p

[elmetallikohermetiko]

Very Good! Excellent, it's only a jam or there's a recording for this?

[MrObsidian]

Only a jam. Just having fun.

D.

[jihadjared]

Love it. Good stuff.

[vpower987]

Roddy, do u have to use triggers in this kind of music?

[indiadrummer]

of course.

[MrObsidian]

There are no triggers on this video.

The kicks are miced.

Cheers.

D.

[mattwalker21]

Caravan + Blasting = Wicked Sweet

Hahaha this made me smile.

[theorytheorist]

Great song. If you get a chance, check out the Mill's Brothers version. The only non-human instrument is a lightly strummed guitar (I think).

[Tacoguitar]

HELL YEAH, this is very good!

[MichaelStenland]

Great video man!

[persini]

Yeah! sweet playing! Thanks :D

[13AMEN13]

wow that guy is riding that bass really really high

[charlesandhisworld]

Painfully high.

[ab3m4n]

painfully same.

[tserhey]

Yeah, a lot of inexperienced bass players mistake the B string for a shoulder strap.

[TecLogik]
