Derek Roddy / Traumedy= Late Night Sci-Fi

[xBadOmen]

These are the kinda drum grooves I like. Hi hat grooves are the best.

[RawkinOutt]

My respect for Derek Roddy just rose. I thought he was a speed king with no groove, and now I believe I was wrong.

[SirRamboi]

This is impressive drumming and sounds a bit like something buckethead would do, if he had a space feel to his music. Wouldn't mind seeing derek drum with Buckethead.

[MercilessIgnorance]

Hey D,

Are any of the Traumedy tracks available for download? I'm a big fan and would love to have some on my Ipod.

Cheers

[Blacklorigine]

There is a lot of death metal drummers that thinks they can grooving, but obviously derek is one of the few that really can

[Kriegsphilosphier]

I guess it has been asked billion times, here it is again : where to get Traumedy stuff ?

[Slipknotter666]

Is that Derek??

[VAP956]

I'm one of the idiots that thought he was blast & nothing else.

This is great to see his versatility.

I don't have the same opinion.

I will proudly eat crow!!!! Great vid.

[FunkFreak311]

@VAP956 I feel the same way right now. That was a sick video

[EarlMcCrackin]

he's in your hood. i think he's got a clinic coming up in tampa.

[Joeskateapool]

this song is groove

[sauronhall]

excelent

[bradydrumsrule]

i hate it when ppl say all he's good for is blasting and being fast. obviously they havn't seen him play stuff like this cos he can groove like a king

[DrivenBlack]

@bradydrumsrule you have to learn to groove before you can blast

[xTheStance]

Derek? Not blasting?!?!

That's unheard of xD

Great sound, good playin

[torturekiller2006]

Unheard of, but still laying a solid groove beat man!!

[metalhed110]

nice groovin

[CorpsesUnderIce]

pretty cool stuff!

[ChordxClient]

Lewisn:

His snare is somewhat the same as Tomas Haakes. Tomas' is a Sonor HLD590 8x14 made in the late 80's early 90's, Derek's snare is a newer production 6x14 snare. This snare weighs about 25 pounds whereas Tomas' weigh around 36.

I'm kind of a Sonor freak :D

[allXelseXfails]

36 fucking pound snare? holy fucking shit

[ChordxClient]

yep, 8x14 Sonor HLD598 with Tama bell brass hoops. MONSTER of a snare.

[BurekSNulom9]

a like this music. this is someting between jean michel jarre and enigma.

and i love derek roddy.

[mikze1]

fucking amazing man. loove the sound of that kit, and he just rule fucking nice job!

[mOrtpengu1n]

I love seeing this other side of Roddy..awesome stuff!!

[annihilatorofthewick]

master derek roddy!

[Blacklorigine]

Groove!

[shlempnar]

MrObsidian you sly dog you

[686BrAaiNS686]

god damn derek, that was badass... that kit sounds like a dream

[needted]

Probably this song and it's album never released. It is really good though. I listened this song on MDF 2008 and amazed Hi-Hat & Bass combination. No questions about that, he is a drumming god.

[777drummerofdeath777]

awesome! really enjoyed watching it!

[Dropkickbosstones]

whoa not used to hearing him play this stuff, shows he can both blast it out and groove, awesome!

[RottenBlaster]

lol this is awesome

[akt400]

farken cool man

[Tamadrummer11]

hhahahaa wtf! that shit is amazing!

[drew3usa]

Hey Derek,

I thought you were using the Sonor SQ2 drums now?

Correct me if i'm wrong but arent those the Sonor X-Classics or whatever they're called?

Cheers

xo.

[DeuceDeuce0331]

Really makes your realize, drumming is like walking, after doing it for so many years, it becomes second nature. Roddy is the shit in any style of drumming

[Moobysnax]

the song is cheezy lol. but i really like the groove. great job on the playing

[jamesdizzle420]

dude i think the song is fucking badd ass...maybe without the drums cheezy but man he makes it sound so fucking good

[kataklysm8]

i think it sounds a little bit like korn if u were to add some guitar in there

really good stuff derek

[CorpseGrinder18]

Damn, this band he plays in is really trippy haha, not used to him playing to this but does sound rad

[metalhed110]

its so weird watching you play stuff like this!! i love it!! haha

[PB0277]

I notice that you use the Hi hat polyrhythm a bit in this song...thats awesome!

[ChicorelliOfficial]

wow this Traumedy is really great what is this all about ? a new project or solo material?

its nice

[RedOnChrome]

really nice tasteful drumming, not everybody can blast their ass of, and be able to tone it down according to the song, but you can. again, really tasteful.

[monkeychunkey]

this his got to be the most suiting, original, skillful drum pattern to a sci fi show at like 1 am in the morning. lol. I Really like the way you never stop trying new stuff. next up, pirate music! lol

[lewisn27]

Is that the sonor artist bronze-black snare?

The same as Tomas Haakes, it sounds great. I wish I could afford one but they are far too expensive for me.

[Coreyf24]

I think it's an S-classix snare.

[DrMorbid]

Coreyf24: No, this is definatelly some kind of bell-brass monster. :)

You can tell from the look AND the sound.

[matter311]

This new stuff is awesome but I wish you go with your Paiste set-up again.

[NetherNoTwisting]

I love the final pattern ;)

[dartthewarrior]

GROOVY!!!

[HulruM]

this song is incredibly good! What kind of project this traumedy is? Is there other musicians in the project?

Mikko

[callum0123456]

yeh there is as far as i know

look them up on myspace and it says its derek roddy and another dude i forget his name.

hope that helps!

[skater15153]

0:30 is freaking ridiculous...

[wolloolloo]

why?

[callum0123456]

because its awesome and experimental..XD

[skater15153]

ya that section was all kinds of awesomeness

[truespin2003]

like a few other people said, you should record a drum and bass/dub step song.

that would be sick!

also can you record this song where you can see your feet please? your left foot is all over the shop!! haha

[thekremator]

I told John not too long ago that this was my fave so far, nice!

[dunaucca]

I really liked this one !

But where can we get it ?

Or do you will have an album or a record or something with Traumedy ?

Yeah and what's with Serpents Rise ?

[OpulenceOfKnowledge]

Yo Derek, it would be awesome if you could record some DnB

[ventsintheedge]

Nice dude!

[sabianrox1]

In my opinion, this guy is the epitome of modern drumming: He has massive chops, which he couples with a totally deep groove. Derek, your awesome!

[nx2overide]

I felt a little Dennis Chambers in there on the first beat.

[NagaSjekira]

this one wasn't seen before...groovy :-D

[DeadPandaTits]

awesome dude

i wanna see you do some sick DnB though :)

[DMPazuzu]

Fucking tasty skills man. Fuck.

[Skaflar]

Mr. Roddy, you never cease to impress me.

[theredchords]

sweet nectar
