Derek Roddy - MEINL Drum Festival 2007 - Part I

[TheMisodoctakleidist]

This is the first time that I have seen someone one foot blasting and playing a 3/2 son clave with their left foot. That's something to put into my bag of tricks!

[hobes9]

hes got 6 petals and only four directions...

[masterofhi50]

@hobes9 ahhh red vs blue, good reference haha

[smurfhunterguy]

the begining of this song remeinds me of the song Overlooked by Chimaira

[mOrtpengu1n]

I love judging drummers based on one minute of footage.

[vgl19]

Anybody know the name of this song?

[theneongray]

All Derek Roddy songs pretty much sound the same, so it doesn't really matter.

[LukeSnyderMusic]

@theneongray Not really, he tends to be pretty creative.

[rehtafsedaj777]

@theneongray IDIOT!-Do you have any idea at what level these guys are playing at.Put up a video of yourself doing something...You don't because you don't do anything.

[killerproctologist]

@theneongray you should definately look at more of his videos then

[ApeMediaProductions]

So just another lame drummer that likes to swing his arms mindlessly. *Sigh*

[bradzdestroyer]

@ApeMediaProductions whhhat? This video isnt very impressive, but derek roddys a great drummer.. You should check out some of his other stuff you'd like it.

[LukeSnyderMusic]

@ApeMediaProductions Not even close. He's really an excellent drummer all around. I'm not a fan of most of the extreme metal stuff myself, but he can lay down a sick layered groove man... Watch Late Night Sci-Fi

[PwnzorBob]

@ApeMediaProductions Yes, because obviously less than one minute of footage gives you the view of what kind of drummer he is?

It seems to me that you're just embarrassing yourself here, so go and look at some of the Traumedy (And the groovy things as well) stuff he has done before you start throwing words such as 'lame' around.

[BerraDude]

hmm, why does he play with a doubel basspedal at 0:24 when he have two bassdrums?

[ChordxClient]

2 different size kicks. his left is 18", his right is 22"

[rockdahaus]

@ChordxClient With Sonor and now DW he use two 22" kicks. In different pitches.

[06livefast]

sounds beautiful but paiste destroys meinl in a second,

[06livefast]

0:49 wtf is that effect cymbal thing.

[eisuke120]

isnt it just a closed hi hat mounted with a remote hi hat stand?

[TheStockzzz]

its mienl generation x hi hats, on an x hat stand, icba looking it up but there you go.

[mycomputer5]

its a closed hi hat.

[GarytheIrishDrummer]

its a closed auxilliary hi hat dude

[TubasherTim]

what bands he in

[ChopatoothCOBHC]

he was in hate eternal and a bunch of other bands

[somos999]

serpents rise hate eternal , ex nile

[Insectamongus]

whats the name of the song?

[HeavyMetalen666]

It's a Serpents Rise song if I'm not mistaken

[SleeperCecil]

well my think is that derek roddy is more unique than kollias, because he incorporated multi pedals in his death metal drumming.~ and he's ambidextrous, kollias is'nt

[TMaStAA]

Kollias multi pedals on his blast beats as well. Both are amazing drummers.

[drumstickz22]

yeah i agree derek roddy is more unique and i think kollias is a little bit faster

both are kickass though

[Metalwarlock78]

roddy has good timing and plays with feel, all his hits are in sync and equl, good drummer.....Niles drummer mabey faster but he dont sound like this...

[clownhc]

You shouldn't compare Roddy and Kollias, they're both fucking gods.

George is showing a little bit more of his fluidity and technical side lately, they both know a lot about music--I prefer Kollias, but Roddy is still fucking amazing, and I get equal inspiration from both.

[dommy399]

he is fucking noob!Kollias for ever!the best!

[SlayerFan1993]

What are you, 4?

[dommy399]

what?

[SlayerFan1993]

You just called Derek Roddy a noob, and the only thing Kollias has on Roddy is speed, and only by about 15 bpm, tops.

[dommy399]

George Kollias is the best!he have crazy technique and speed.Roddy is noob for sure..no style,no speed he is a fucking toy!

[SlayerFan1993]

I have a strict rule against talking to inbred kids, so I'm just gonna end this little conversation...

[dommy399]

nice

[stu798]

pity is sounds so so muddy

[exempt24]

triggers

[Iceland0822]

How do they get that click sound for the bass drums?

[spurq]

Trigger.

[drumstickz22]

is this a song??

[juanbarros88]

gay ass shit

[9metaller2]

he is the best !!

[jayakishore1234]

derek roddy rules man.awesome player .my fav.he has the right attitude towards music.he plays varied genres.check out his instructional video on google video.cool

[028000486006]

does anyone know what size drumsticks derek uses?

[phatphace]

Derek uses the vater 5B.

length: 16", diametre: .605"

[boecke91]

Kick sounds nice and punchy, love it.

[CyKoSiC]

the kick does sound bad ass.

[cabose34521]

Doesn't matter how he plays. He Know s different styles, he just chooses to play metal. It's not easy playing Blast Beats either, let's see you try.

[patrickwilliamson29]

absolutely right, playing blastbeats in time is actually really difficult

[fotsifotsi]

omg...why would someone like that??

[fatalityhawk]

awesome. this guys a true inspiration. any one know which band hes with now[in case u dont know hes left hate eternal]

[troodonpelvis]

hes in Today is the Day, a fine band indeed

[fatalityhawk]

aight. thanks for tellin me

[samaldredmarch2007]

Traumadey init????

[samaldredmarch2007]

oh no shit tha was way back lol i need to do my research!!!

[fatalityhawk]

i think he may just be on a permanant position as a session musician cos if ya look on youtube theres a vid of him playing a song for the band serpeant rise[although theres no mention of him on the band's myspace]

[MrObsidian]

Serpent Rise is a different band than Serpents Rise.

We don't have a myspace or website yet. We're still writing and looking for certain members. More next year from us.

Cheers.

D.

[fatalityhawk]

i see. cool. keep rockin man! \m/

[derekpharms17]

I saw ur JAm sessins with them good stuff and I ve read a couple of your recent interviews :) "Its not about playing fast" those words turned my drumming onto a whole new course thx and I recently bought your book :D its been a big help to my blasts there more layered now so thx ;)

[normo2113]

Clave rhythm on his left foot, while doing blasted ghost notes with his left, AND playing what i assume to be 8th notes on his right hand/foot, seriously, is there anything this guy can't do? (48 seconds)

[zephyr30]

somebody know if this song exist?? XD

[EarlMcCrackin]

I beleive It's called the Marzear Labarynth by Serpent's Rise. It's included on the CD in Derek's book. Not sure if they're releasing an album though.

[HaRdKoReFaLeEfAy]

Did that cd book thing of derek's come out yet? and if so were can i get one hah

[EarlMcCrackin]

It did, I hear it's good. They even have it at Guitar Center.

[drummerschlaeger]

i was there and saw and talked to him

[Arthemesic]

Lucky dude. Derek's pretty humble for such a skilled drummer, ain't he?

[shreddmasterj]

Very. He is really laid back. All Hate Eternal is like that. I went out to eat with them a few times at Taco Cabana...lol. Erik loves that shit.

[Arthemesic]

Yeah. If you check out Derek's sickdrummer(dot)com interview, you can see he's not on about his skills. An admirable trait.

[shreddmasterj]

I would kill for his Delite's...lol.

[Arthemesic]

Hell, who wouldn't!? :D

[EarlMcCrackin]

Do you know if there's any footage of his solos anywhere?

[shreddmasterj]

Derek's solos? Dude. Your on Youtube. Try searching for his name maybe?

[thorri789]

Awesome!
