Chris Adler Double Bass Technique

[JFMartinMusic]

It technically isn't a proper heel toe but it's like his own version.

[younghatter]

Dat Beard*

[drumbot739]

EPIC BEARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MrJagermeisterr]

''HEEL TOE'' can do this on any pedal pretty much.

[MrGregHammer]

hmm?

[acdcman96fin]

0:35 simple beat O.o yeah... 

[jsbattlenet]

I always wonder if one of the guitar players from ZZ top had a child what would he look like. now I know

[ohheyitsbrett]

Which is me commin' down on the heel and then whippin' up for the dub. I concur.

[Calbenmike]

He's good, but Matt Griener owns him.

[geoff1424]

@Calbenmike chris couldnt hold Griener's jock strap

[Alex7457]

@Calbenmike, why would you compare drummers?

[Calbenmike]

@Alex7457 Why wouldn't you? Coke to Pepsi, Burger King to McDonalds.

[Alex7457]

@Calbenmike, There is no best drummer, just favourites.

[Calbenmike]

@Alex7457 I suppose you're right, but one can make their case eh?

[Alex7457]

@Calbenmike, yeah everyones got an opinion i guess.

[captaincanyon]

wat

[sonoraloco]

he talks a lot always...



[2011mslamar]

the best tap dancer

[shreddmasterj]

Only crap drummer make excuses.

[bballer1919]

@shreddmasterj what kinda shit is that? he didnt make an "excuse" first of all, but if your calling his statement about playing infront of 5000 people an excuse, he had to be good enough to get in that situation. if you were anywhere close to good enough to that level you would not only understand but make much more excuses than him. imbecile.

[shreddmasterj]

@bballer1919 umad?

[bballer1919]

@shreddmasterj nope just educated

[M3TALROCK3R]

@shreddmasterj stfu man

[Gernmoher]

[JordanWattzMusic]

fucking awesome

[Metalman6662]

it's called heel-toe for a reason haha

[IbanezKing666]

Simple..yeah that makes me feel really great as musician right now O_O

[ireternalexistence]

@IbanezKing666 Judging by your username it doesn't sound like drumming is your main instrument. Yes that is a simple beat, but its still a good one.

[IbanezKing666]

@ireternalexistence Making a simple beat sound difficult and awesome... wow that's some true art.

[izzyama]

I WANT these pedals......the neighbours are REALLY gonna hate me!! ;D \m/

[ChernobylOfficial]

Simple beat my ass

[Jordan19922444]

The full interview is on my channel. Actually. Not spam.

[LastGhost1]

Chuck norris started to watch chris and he said ''I must practice on that'' :D

[maccahJake]

has he got grip tape on his pedals?

[00Mayes]

A wizard of drums. Just look at that beard!

[lumania1994]

[tman695695]

@yerald3PelosTorres you want your ass beat? ok well bend over >:D

[AsaM1120]

this man is a genius amongst Gods! He will NEVER be forgotten that genius ass mother fucker!!

[HumanF85]

It to one Jamie Hyneman reminds me?))

[Steveleebdutoit]

-ble.

[divinegrinder]

Ruin is a sick song and that's a cool beat but he's making it sound a lot harder than it actually is.

[konejo197666]

if it was a "simple riff" fuck me, i'm a hell of a bad drummer

[ShortHorrorFlick]

I used to be a grindcore drummer. Then I got an arrow in the knee.

[BoyIsCool300]

Psssst, he secretly plays with his beard >_>

[jamtime09]

I just saw this video. And gosh. I use the same technique what Chris Adler do, and hey I'm only 16. I don't know that much about drumming.

[Twirree]

Simple? Of course its simple when you steal my beat(s) Chris! You're silly! :)

[vanhalenshredder]

That was fucking sexy.

[Adamkillander]

Where can i get these kind of pedals? :o

[Scoztrix]

that beard

[metallica6020]

@Scoztrix u know hes Zen Master Adler ;)

[Robeban2]

Well yes, I started using my left foot as a dolphin before receiving an arrow to the knee. But seriously, I had the same idea but of course I look like a douche when I do it unlike Chris...

[krloz0912]

._____.

[H3DG3M0U53]

Thats the exactly the same technique i use!!!!

[XxxfjftokyoxxX]

Just looking at this exercise gave me a charlie horse

[kouradoman]

i was proud that i could play walk by pantera on drums :|... oh how wrong i was

[killswitch3ngag3]

You can do this with any pedal though..not only axis

[lovestospooge646]

he forgot to play the simple riff. silly chris

[seanslingerland]

outta sync

[Gozer3]

wierd pedal

[fungas4201]

holy shit.. ok.. 3 questions. who is this guy? what planet did he come from? and why are you here on earth?

[ADTR3421]

GUYS WE ALL KNOW IT THE EASIEST THING TO PLAY....for chris

[Roqy96]

simple my left nut.

[Gravilocity]

dude wtf are you talking about that is Chris Alder lol

[Haltom2012Drummer]

what kind of pedals are they?

[drumguything]

@Haltom2012Drummer Axis Longboards =]

[iluvchopsuey36]

That's not chris Adler. Thats what they want you to think. But he is clearly jesus because of his skill and beard and hair. Plus he plays in a band called LAMB OF GOD! So I'm alittle suspicious :)

[turbotrauma]

The 'whipping' heal action is quite well known, it's a dirty secret in the metal world. I've met a few drummers who do this.

[BirdieJMR]

We do the song called Ruin where during the verse, it's a pretty simple beat. It's ahhh... gdhguoidsghiodsjghiodshggfosdh­ugsuia

[Mastervideoize]

whit your beard, you look like the original drum guru!!..thanks for the tip!

[rebetherebel]

chris i hate u

[haze6336]

It is a really simple beat u just need to learn the technique and then practice it

[estebanskater123]

when i grow up i wanna have that mustache

[MusicisPassion1678]

why can't anybody see the simple beat? it's really not that hard if you know how to coordinate your hands and feet.

[2MrTwoCents2]

@MusicisPassion1678 Which would be the hard part for some people... I mean yeah it's not that hard, but for the average person looking at this, they'd say it is. They aren't completely serious anyway.

[estebanskater123]

@MusicisPassion1678 you´re right, but at that tempo... :S

[LearningDrummerSam]

240p....we meet again

[furydesigner]

[ricardozs1983]

[06KingDave]

@ricardozs1983 Chris still blows me away though, better in my opinion than all the (awsome) blasters...

[rabbb78]

toe.

[megadeth1056]

Simple for chris adler is impossble for us mortals.

[MiniAdler13]

@megadeth1056 I'm 14 and I can play it hahahaha

[megadeth1056]

@MiniAdler13

Just because you can play it does not mean you can actual play it perfect or flawlessly.I have seen alot of kids say they could play the most hardest solo and think they can play it when it s sloppy.Same thing with drums.

[GuyNamedCarl]

@megadeth1056 They cut corners...You only cheat yourself when you do that...Their problem.

[RandomMetalGuy666]

@MiniAdler13 hahaha you douche...do a video

[proveyourlove2me]

@megadeth1056 ~ Looks like you need alittle grace, love & mercy :lol :lol

[proveyourlove2me]

@megadeth1056 ~ Aren't you filled with the spirit? :lol

[DrumTyp187]

@megadeth1056 ever saw Alex Grind? (;

[earache70]

Drink less coffee, Chris.

[tburn66]

love his honesty!

[RiKrDoX1]

lml  ........ good groove metal drummer

[mike62895]

[stangzilla331]

Hamqammy it took 3 years thats means it was not simple I learned it the first time I heard it so that makes you the looser sir queermmy !!!!!!!!!! ba ha ha ha 3 years...

[Hamgammy]

This beat is really simple you losers. You just all suck. I learned the footwork to In Ruin in like 3 years. You guys are just mad you can't play it.

[Prokilla1337]

lol in ruin its a pretty simple beat wtf that doesnt look simple chris

[SETHx1996]

0:36

[yeaibet716]

this gives a whole new meaning to "heel-toe" haha

[TedaHB]

@yeaibet716 I think it gives a whole new meaning to "SIMPLE"

[pyromanizak]

it is a simple beat when you break it down lol

[stellarshore]

Wow, so underwhelming.

[999BrUtal]

i dont think that any one of us can he do what Chris Adler doing in this vidéo!!!!

[TheRiu890]

[TheKenner89]

[crazymothefuck]

[lovestospooge646]

so about that simple beat...........

[GuitarManMilaneus]

Sounds and looks like he's tap dancing... haha

[derickftw]

Don't mind that last comment. I watched the video again, and I'm wrong.

[derickftw]

Based on what I know...

Heel-toe starts the kick with heel and ends with toe;

and what he does is the reverse.

Maybe that's just me but...yeah.

[TheEncine]

did you see how much recoil those pedals have ? it really make thing easier

[EdgeGuy48]

thats called heel toe

[JaxTheBear]

close your eyes and this sounds retarded XD

[staubfc]

@JaxTheBear LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!

[disgorgeengorge]

heel toe baby

[sp33dstr3am]

those are some nice shoes!

[jbeard8]

Looks like an irish jig

[JuanMGarcia11]

hahah pretty simple beat! yeah right!

[VasilJoskov]

I think this video is edited. The part with the simple beat is missing.

[epicKiipa]

@VasilJoskov The beat is simple, not complicated. It's hard to play though.

[MrCampkill]

@VasilJoskov yeah i feel the same

[tejanitico]

@VasilJoskov no men you need to see te legs of chris!

[Thefutureofdrumming1]

@tejanitico Lmao he didnt get it

[Thefutureofdrumming1]

[websterx9]

[munruthel1]

[kelby810]

[Revert1989]

@VasilJoskov hahah you're so right XD

[BloodContract9]

ughhhhh..... my brain exploded >_<

[Lucifer9387]

I've never seen anyone tap dance and play the drums at the same time until now..

[DogAteMySticks]

isnt chris using trick pedals?

[Direksone]

@DogAteMySticks hahaheeeelll no. his double bass skill is insane

[NeZvers16]

@DogAteMySticks LOL where you got that XD

[Nautamies]

@DogAteMySticks I think he is nowadays, not sure but some time ago he was (like 6months ago), not 100% sure tho.

[xph0enixxx]

@DogAteMySticks The other guy was a dumbass. "Yes" he switched to trick pedals. Dunno why but you can search for the video here.

[ChildofBurningTime75]

Dear Lord.. "It's a pretty simple beat"

[TiANr0ckst4r]

LOL easy beat?? XD Haha really??...Godlike Tecnique Btw

[TheRikcarter]

1 kick, 16th triplets, 8th triplets, 16th triplets... and it keeps going.

[MegaNakki69]

lol it's actually not that hard

[MrDan1987dan]

o.0



[Sniz44]

is that custom grip tape on those Axis pedals? If it is, thats a great idea. however, anything I see Chris doing I consider a great idea.

[CHIMIRAL]

este tipo es un matao!!!! lo diga quien lo diga,lo que no me explico es como este tipo de supuestos musicos llegan a la fama,no lo entiendo de verdad de corazon,no me lo explico,luego otros estudiando 15h todos los dias y no sacan los pies del plato,asi es la vida,que puta mierda!!!!

[edycatman]

@CHIMIRAL Tienes razon wee asi de la nada salen como si nada!

[Knightvera1]

@CHIMIRAL no entiendo porque dices eso amigo pero estoy de acuerdo hay muchos musicos incluso en el metal que son realmente malos y ganan dinero y fama a costa de arreglos y de buenos musicos

hay buenos musicos por ahi que nisiquiera saben que existen

[XXxxDisseDxxXX]

You play in front of only 5,000 people? Chris you are silly:) and a F***ing GOD

[jgblreaper]
