NAMM 2010 - Derek Roddy @ Axis Booth

This is Derek Roddy tearing it up at the Axis Booth on Friday January 15th, 2010. This was filmed using a Sony HDR HC-3 and the audio was taped from the inside of the booth using a Tascam DR-07. It was placed right under the main hi-hat and the left floor tom and the side snare. It was setup last minute!

NAMM is never in Florida from what I recall. This is Anaheim, California. Date is listed in the info.

@RJPass - Metal is nowhere near as difficult to play as Jazz, Fusion, Latin, ect. So Yes, Dave Weckl still owns Roddy in all aspects. It would probably take a few days for Weckl to get the 'stamina' to play a blast beat for 5 minutes straight... but come on, a blast beat is not even close to being considered a difficult beat to be proficient at. Even any non-drummer would know this. A blast beat does not equal impressive drumming.

@constrict

You missed my point. I get your point, you think jazz > metal. I dont disagree nor agree with that. All drummers are awesome for playing the styles that they play, can they all do each others styles? No, some can, some cant. Does that make them suck? Nope, just makes them good at what THEY do. When they try to interpret other styles, we shouldnt give them shit for trying, but rather encourage them for trying so that they get better!

[DoomDriver]

He just started to play amazing stuff from the middle section of the video!

@RJPass Beautifully said dude.

Derek Roddy cannot be overrated.

[Ansuz793]

Roddy is a great drummer, he's very fast. but i like the groove and feeling of George Kollias. He is more structured than Roddy, i think

[AspiringRocker729]

@constrict What's with all you jazz guys looking down on all the other non-jazz guys? These modern extreme metal drummers can outspeed the majority of your jazz drummers by miles (One drummer does quadruple bass at the equivalent of 560 bpm, for instance), and they should NOT be discredited just because they don't play jazz. Most metal drummers appreciate jazz drumming on some level, including Roddy himself, why do so many of you jazz guys stubbornly refuse to appreciate metal drumming?

@dahliaslayer

This. Metal and Jazz are both pretty cool genres but they take entirely different skills to play.

[dahliaslayer]

@constrict you my friend need to listen to psycroptic. listen to dave haley and tell me thats not difficult to play. metal is like hockey and jazz is like football they are not the same sport

[TheDittohead3]

1:50 -2:24 is a perfect drum beat

@wwefan942 Thats sick you know the story behind that? Cuz I always thought it was polka skank beats...but idk really
