Derek Roddy / Serpents Rise: The Marzear Labyrinth.

[Metagross31]

His Blastbeats are faster than light, but he is faster than his Blastbeats, so he can play other things while he plays blastbeats

0:53

[NLDrummerNL]

@Metagross31 Thats not even that fast..

[SMG59]

@Metagross31 wut......

[gardner90125]

The new muppet movie is fantastic! Also, Kudos to Roddys' Big Beef Shack! Swing on!

[Ninjuggla]

@gardner90125 lolwut

[FromtheInception]

Hey Roddy, you should get TRASHED one night and record yourself drumming. Let's see how well you can do haha. Seriously.

[biggt96]

@morordor. Ya. All I hear is very clean lics as well. this isn't even that extreme of a song. How is it a bunch of random noise.

[morordor]

what a bunch of noise,sounds like hes building a shed....

[sebbimon]

@morordor How does a shed/building a shed relate to this?

[morordor]

@sebbimon lots of banging and crashing etc.. dumbass!

[sebbimon]

@morordor All i hear is very clean playing by Mr Roddy. If you dont like it, wtf are you doing here?

[morordor]

@sebbimon trolling,you idiot.

[sebbimon]

@morordor worst trolling ive ever witnessed

[morordor]

@sebbimon you say that after you fell right in to it, its people like you that make trolling such a delight! if you respond to this your admitting to being a fag.

[morordor]

@sebbimon your mums the worst troll ive ever witnessed.

[sebbimon]

@morordor u mad bro? ye, u mad.

[ItalianAvalanche]

@morordor if he was building a shed, it would be done in like fifteen seconds.

[novembre8211]

His whole setup sounds awesome but I really love how that snare sounds

[rdfdrummer]

effing awesome!

[shaolinkungfu666]

i love the clave on the ride bell 1:00

[PKTANGEL]

16 People need to post video replies that prove they can do better.

[theSnaredrumde]

Drums and Guitars are the most impressive and sexy instruments of the world!

[TomDrummer15]

dont give a shit what anyone say's, i love triggers

they made my bands album sound fucking amazing !!

[Theblastmaster]

Derek Roddy is one of the most influential extreme metal drummers, he's been around since the Tampa scene began. He's no George Kollias but he's not far behind.

[lSTAYHlGH]

he hits his drums like a pussy

[Drumkid945]

@lSTAYHlGH Compared to who? Travis Barker??? That's just retarded.

[lSTAYHlGH]

@Drumkid945 any drummer who dosent rely on triggers and mics to make him loud

[Drumkid945]

@lSTAYHlGH Derek doesn't use triggers???

[lSTAYHlGH]

@Drumkid945 haha yes he does

[Drumkid945]

@lSTAYHlGH Well okay then, but a drummer needs mics to help the drums cut through everything during a concert.

[dopert2]

@Theblastmaster :D

[musicizlife95]

awesome just needs more cowbell

[ilovezildjian]

The best metal drummer behind Dave Lombardo! Hands Down!

[Mrocznakupa]

amazing just.

[TheDrunkLemon]

i love it when people think that triggers are cheating, the only people who think so either dont play drums or suck at it

[gnomodt]

Perfect. The beast Death Metal Drummer

[tama2112]

Maybe I'm just getting to be an old bastard, but the blast beat thing does absolutely nothing for me. Talented guy no doubt.

[julianisdope]

i like playing drums.

[BurnThePope0514]

Join avenged seven fold? Man get the fuck off youtube, why would he play for those pussies

[DrummingNonStop]

@BurnThePope0514 A7X has Arin Ilejay, and he's fucking amazing.

[BurnThePope0514]

@DrummingNonStop i could careless who they have, you didn't pick up on me telling someone to get off youtube because he said roddy should join them. Roddy is a musician not some make up wearing douche who has a hard one for bats, and conforms to what the media wants metal to be.

[MrMetalhead9182]

THE DISLIKE BAR IS LIKE JB PENIS SMALL AND WHEN GAY PEOPLE TOUCH IT IT GETS BIGGER AND DEREK RODDY CAN DESTROY IT EASILY

[hippielifeforme]

@MrMetalhead9182 Derek roddy can destroy jb penis?

[irwin3036able]

Derek Roddy

Your a very awesome metal drummer. You did great at the DT auditions. I know this is out of topic but Avenged Sevenfold is currently having Arin Ilejay as their touring drummer as of now. I think he should just be their session drummer throughout 2011. Come 2012, A7X should offer you the spot to the drum throne. !!! A7X will be as twice as epic!!!

Peace!!

[FBDMatt]

@irwin3036able Haha, ok. This is funny.

[slayermanbob]

@irwin3036able lol......

[FischerDefilementory]

@irwin3036able The day Derek Roddy is in Avenged Sevenfold is the day I stab myself in the chest xD

[BurnThePope0514]

@FischerDefilementory Nah bro we will go on a shooting spree at one of their concerts and take as many of them out as we can.

[girininhonck]

@FischerDefilementory avenged sucks

[FischerDefilementory]

@girininhonck indeed

[JackMehoff845]

@girininhonck nah they dont

[asp4eva]

@irwin3036able i laugh at this offense to the great derek roddy

[masterofhi50]

@irwin3036able Avenged Sevenfold is great...but this blasting doesnt fit with them at all. they have more melody and singing, less screaming and hardcore shit

[MechanEvil]

Wow! That was awesome! Wish I could have seen the ending! If not the best, I'm sure he's one of them easy! Killer! Bow! Ping! Kaboom!

[moyatheomen]

Awesome, really great Derek Roddy...!!! Congratulations and great drummer!!!

[Theneongray2]

Derek "I'm a world class drummer and worth $50,000 per album" Roddy

I can't believe the shit he has said in the past.

He isn't the best, but he thinks he is.

[Blastrebation]

@Theneongray2 Shut up man

[Keifcastle]

One Take Roddy! The best

[ageracci]

back@issofunky, read the comment more closely. it specifically states "Shure mic's are the shit" or in other words, a proper choice for most applications. I'm glad you dig 'em too dude.

[ncanino33]

How long does one need to stare at a juggler until he realizes that it's all the same thing?

[ageracci]

This sounds amazing I agree Shure mics are the shit. I suppose having you behind the kit had a little to do with it. of what use would such great tools be without someone as skilled to use them. Great Vid man

[issofunky]

@ageracci I have to disagree....shure mics do not sound like shit. I should know becuase I've mic'd up someone taking a shit...and that's NOT what it sounded like. They sound like shure....which is what some 70-80% if all snare tracks you have ever listened to where recorded through. once in a while someone grows a single brain cell and buys a few Md421's and an Audix i5 and gets a REALLY good sound...but most zombies aren't that bright.

[ilovezildjian]

I actually like this more than Hate Eternal.

[TheFatherofMayheM]

I wish I could at least TRY to hit the cymbal with my claw hand, like roddy. Truly great.

[jasonxjasonx]

Triggers do not alter how fast you drum. They simply make each kick sound exactly alike.. if you don't understand then fucking kill yourself.

[xdux]

derek , my phone is off but gonna try to email u here.

[MartyrOfMetal]

Is he a lefty..?

[TheWezel1995]

no he's a righty

[biGGmike5185]

YOUR FUKNN SICK BRO...you dont miss a fukn beat...BAD ASSSS



[BigRooster747]

awfulllllll..... sounds like a machinegun..... not like a drumkit at all, and it is not musical either. STOP.

[A7xdrumr]

@BigRooster747 thats only your opinion, dont go around to videos you don't like just to spread hate comments. fuck off and get a life

[BigRooster747]

@A7xdrumr I just fucked off and gotten a life, but back to topic, please would you describe the musicalities of this 'insane' drummer:-)?

[lvmdrummer92]

@BigRooster747 he is musical in his type of music.. so yes he is musical but maybe not in the way like it.. so please some respect for this

[x60mmx]

@BigRooster747 Don't whine because you cant do it. There's a 16 year old kid in the studio space next to mine that can hammer 16ths at 190 with solid volume, total machine gun style, with no triggers just practice. 100% his body and kit. You're 48 with what to show musically? Sorry you jacked your life off man but no reason to hate on other people's ability to dedicate to something and make something of themselves.

[apologeticsman]

I think it's funny how the world calls religious groups a bunch of warring haters who can't agree on anything and a bunch of hypocrites, etc. and then I come here and see that they can't agree on anything either, and they hate and get angry over unimportant stuff too. Seems we are not that different after all...

[marc825]

@apologeticsman Totally right man.

[watchlistenlearn]

A GUY WHO USES ALL HIS EQUIPMENT 10 STARS

[PointlesInsanity]

@DADofMETAL I hope you're joking...

[net200777]

youtube.com/watch?v=z_Y6UZ1pKE­c

[occultrituals666]

i hate the sound of meinl cymbals.... why he gave his soul away from sabian ill never know....

[xTiediguy]

@occultrituals666 why? meinl sounds great? so you hate chris adlers sound too?

[occultrituals666]

@xTiediguy yah i do hate chris adler sound too and his drumming very sloppy... i d k just opinion... im a zildjian guy myslef...

[Scylocke]

This guy is a god among men

[crazydamage415]

i'm not hating (i'm a drummer) i'm just wondering do you do any thing with a different groove, or do you tend to stick to the blasting and what not, cuz clearly you have some regimented rudiments

[ryder187mac]

@crazydamage415 watch his other videos with "Traumedy" in the name. Afaik Derek also plays some things like bossa novas, funk, stuff like that.

[sirfartalots]

Mick Harris from napalm death was the pioneer at this style of drumming..20 years ago

[Zofti]

@sirfartalots ...despite 20 years later some drummers, like Derek Roddy kicks his ass.

[assassin1161]

Man i just watched this for the first time. and am contemplating doing a cover in the studio. Thoughts?

[Spoeyonders]

blake richardson

[Spoeyonders]

blake richardson

[KGBagent19]

What band plays this song?

[Zofti]

@KGBagent19 It's Coldplay, dude :P

[DADofMETAL]

i dunno man, guys like roddy and kolias are good, but i really think the best death metal drummers are lars ulrich, travis barker, joey jordison and the guy from creed.

[ShredMaster2010]

@DADofMETAL LOL That just made my day

[xTiediguy]

@DADofMETAL metallica, blink 182, slipknot, and creed are definatly not death metal. they're good drummers, but they arnt DEATH METAL DRUMMERS.

[MrRooov]

Minute 0:57 Clave 3-2 on the ride? jajaja! 

[LukeHeavyshield]

All of you are retards if your comparing Joey Jordison and Derek Roddy, There both GREAT drummers, If your going to rip on a drummer, Do it on Travis Barker, That guy is a JOKE.

[MegaSelke]

@LukeHeavyshield how is travis barker a joke at least he can play a beat and not just ASFJKL; dsfkl asdgfahsdkjlfshakjf ahskjf

[LukeHeavyshield]

@MegaSelke Lol... I just find it funny some people say hes one of the best drummers thats all when all he does is play hip hop beats :/ ... Which my nephew has more skill than him lol

[Lightyy93]

@MegaSelke Playing ''a beat'' is a childs job..

these guys play beats too

only more complex, technical and faster

you can't even compare those drummers cus its a whole different genre

[MrChampion]

@LukeHeavyshield You can't bash on Travis Barker. I'm not saying he's an amazingly technical drummer like Derek Roddy is but he helped create the modern punk drumming style and is an incredibly creative drummer.

[warlordzephyr]

@MrChampion Nope, the "modern" punk drumming style is exactly the same as the drumming in the sex pistols and most other original punk bands. He's not that creative either, the skill level is about the minimum i'd expect from somone drumming for that long. Finally, how can you win best mainstream drummer and best punk drummer in the same year?

[MrChampion]

@warlordzephyr Yes a lot of the punk drumming is the same I completely agree. But I would disagree with the creative aspect. Travis Barker was one of the first drummers to start using rims, side sticks etc in mainstream drumming. (I would argue blink isn't much of punk any more especially by today's "punk" and "hardcore") I just think that although he is overrated, he's not as over rated as everyone says he is.

[Som1onu2be]

@MrChampion Just some ignorant opinions. Travis Barker is a good drummer. He IS overrated. He's certainly not the best at all, but I personally don't think Derek is either.

[LukeHeavyshield]

@MrChampion Not to me lol.

[iixsagxii]

Drum triggers r for fags. Fast isnt always better people need to make good music. I watched an interview with this guy n he said hes sick of playing all this death metal. Shit is so lame and all sounds the same.

[bounty2444]

@iixsagxii your a fag

[MrTopcat89]

@iixsagxii most metal drummers use triggers for one reason and thats simply to have a clean and clear sound for there bass drums because they play at such high tempos they dont want it to sound all muffled, but i do agree with you on speed isnt everything.

[666blastbeatamous666]

@iixsagxii Wow another person bashing triggers that clearly know's nothing about them. Jump on the bandwagon everyone!

[thehornypuppy]

@666blastbeatamous666 As for what i know...or how i see people use them. it's either for people who can keep constant on their playing and people who are afarin someone else may think bad about them for getting an electric drum kit.

What is the point of getting an acoustic kit if you are still going to use a module? And if you can't keep your hits constant well...i guess it's just easy to get a module becaue no matter how you hit your drums they would sound the same EVERY time.

[x60mmx]

@666blastbeatamous666 People who sit around hating on triggers don't play in a real death metal band. No drummer on earth can hit his kick drum loud enough to cut through my amp. All you bedroom guitarists and guitarists who play in bands that aren't heavy at all keep hating but you have no idea.

[JackMehoff845]

@iixsagxii you obviously dont know what triggers are so you shouldnt even say anything

[JackMehoff845]

@iixsagxii you dont know what triggers are, your a fucking retard, death metal is very complicated and technical stop trolling you dumbass

[thehornypuppy]

@JackMehoff845 Pffffffffft....sure it is son.

[JackMehoff845]

@thehornypuppy first im not your son douche and i believe extreme metal is complicated and difficult yeah sure jazz may be difficult and all but i prefer heavy metal and if you dont believe its hard then how about you try playing that..........dumbass

[thehornypuppy]

@JackMehoff845 read you comment again there is a keyword: PREFER

"...but i prefer death metal" That is another thing and another is saying that this load of shit it's complicated and whatnot. I like this style of music too...but come on...every sounds about the fucking same. There are a few that shine through...one band i really like is Carcass. though don't ask me what kind of metal it is... if it's good it's good, i don't go around wanking about: oh this melodeath, this one is cumbiametal

[JackMehoff845]

@thehornypuppy yeah your right on that one 

[allmetaliswelcome]

@iixsagxii what interview would that be? i would love to see it!

[watchyourst3p]

cool looking cymbals!

[sicsemperstegosaurus]

Do I see K custom Hybrids?

[RhythmEngineering]

@sicsemperstegosaurus No . there are Meinl soundcaster fusion cymbals

[pstuddn]

that china is fucking amazing

[pstuddn]

2:07-2:46 is so sick

[x666xGamer]

Derek Roddy, do you chose George Kollias as your husband? If yes, please hit the snare.

[TheMASDrummer]

i like the crash at 1:14

[matteonanni12]

He doesn't use fingerzzzz holy crap I'm not the only one



[DarkShadow482]

i love that he doesnt have all those cymbals for show he uses all of them I FUCKING LOVE DEREK RODDY!!

[666Filthyboy666]

@DarkShadow482 Yeah. 60% of em are used in the first 10 secs of the video :p

[imlivingtodie]

can anyone point me in the direction to buying a "serpents rise" album?!?!? this music is really................really fuckin GREAT!

[PPeZiR]

Didnt this dude use to play for poisen?

[TheMASDrummer]

he uses my splash :D

[EILEISKA]

@TheMASDrummer Or maybe you use his splash :O Who knows...

[tigrisnakkana]

His setup is very.. odd. i like it.

[2ndCthulhu]

Too many crashes, not enough toms, but that's okay, since Mr. Roddy's actually blasting me away.

*PEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWW­WWW*

...Yeah.

[9late4]

@2ndCthulhu Looks like hes having 2-3 crashes in this vid, is that too much? And how come 5 tom's are not enough?! Amount of drums dont make you a good drummer, you can play this kinda music with 2 toms if you want... ehhhh.....-.-?''''''

[2ndCthulhu]

@9late4

Does it matter wether I prefer kits with more toms and less cymbals or not? Mr. Roddy is a badass drummer, either way, so don't feel offened by somebody who just mentioned his preferences.

[crusha717]

why are we even talking of that noob joey in every drum video at all?

[crusha717]

why are we even talking of that noob joey at all?

[jonathanwindham]

joey has NOTHING on roddy

[Nergal945]

The drumming made the riffs sound really epic

[EILEISKA]

Great song, great drumming, and your drum set sounds just awesome!!

[5simic]

I'd kill to see a drum battle of you with George Kollias.

[2goldplz]

Mr Roddy... Id love to see you live at least once.

Your drumming inspires me.

[whereat420]

sicker than fuck!

[555MARCUS666]

joey is great drummer, so is derek. bottom-line. if ur not willing to give joey credit for being a talent drummer, u shouldnt even watch anyone drumming because u wont be able to grasp what actually drumming is from anyone.

[dfreed007]

@555MARCUS666 I think the problem is that Joey is just a good drummer, in terms of skill he does not stand out at all, there many others that can drum as well as him...he only gets a mention because he is well known. People like Roddy are great drummers, there are not many as good as him, so that's why people get annoyed at Joey's name getting spammed everywhere.

[danieljordison0793]

daammn those soundcaster fusion look and sound awesome

[1boostup]

Nice But i wish it was recorded with better sound !!

[VvdisgorgevV]

I like this alot better than Hate Eternal. Is this album available yet?

[omarheshamelsayed]

don't hate and enjoy the fuckin music.

[pooperscoopr69]

Check-out another highly musical perspective on the Art of Drumming performed by Tony Oxley on Youtube.

Roddy is a one-dimenisoal player. He does nothing to exploit and/or advance the craft of the skins.

[matteomancinelli]

Hey Derek!this is a Sonor S Classix??? :)

[sick898]

@matteomancinelli description :)

[matteomancinelli]

@sick898 ah ah ah!Thank You Man!I was not myself shrewed that c' it was the description!

[paklenoda88]

nastrebani panker

[screaming4silence325]

joey's not overrated. hes certainly very good. just not derek roddy good. :)

[darthjoey13]

The soundcasters look a lot like Zildjian K Custom Hybrids.

[AADrummer4Life]

the tribal mix starting around 220 with the double bass is fuckin wicked haha

[a0t]

Salsa clave on the ride cymbal bell at 1:00, so evil.

[morordor]

the drummer from midnight oil is way better.

[Goblexter]

@morordor Just because he is your idol,doesn't make him any better. Besides,I'd refer to Derek's Hate Eternal cover if I'd be judging the best.

[morordor]

@Goblexter shut the fuck up.

[Goblexter]

@morordor I ain't saying he is bad, their band makes good music, but he just isn't as capable as Derek.

[morordor]

@Goblexter whos derek?

[inso0411]

Nice drummer...lol why are you guys even comparing? that sucks...everyone has his own theory. maybe he's a better drummer then Joey now, but let me see him getting the award for the best drummer. kthx

[allmetaliswelcome]

@inso0411 like those people know about drumming

[TheSenesence]

@inso0411 Derek was invited to play at the modern drummer festival along with the likes of Gavin Harrison, Thomas Pridgen and Simon Phillips, I can't even think of many modern drummer articles on Joey.

[StickyInADarkBlueCut]

LOL people are comparing this dudes epicness to that peice of shit drummer from slipknot?!?!?! EPIOC FAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIILLLLLLLL.... 

[Sockmetal]

The grinding in this song i so fucking black metal!! Bought your signature axis btw;) theyre beastly, so Are you:)

[SirRamboi]

I don't get that tom positioning, is it just comfortable for you and the type of music you play?

[n0b0d1r]

@SirRamboi Why else would he have that positioning?

[SirRamboi]

@n0b0d1r yeah i was newb about 2 weeks ago, but i think i was trying to say "why does he have that certain tom position, what benefits would it give." But yeah, blast rolls and feels better for me. Since i played it with them on a <45 degree angle i don't like, pointing right at my face.

[Nilephan666]

2:04 ...omg epic

[Redpinman]

Last time i checked, this wasn't Slipknot. Is slipknot this fast? NO. So all you little poser ass faggots shut the fuck up. This dude is good at what he does, as is Joey.
