I find it funny, that on every metal drummers video there is someone complaining that it's not as good as jazz and thus leading to a huge discussion. Also, if you comment on how much Joey Jordison/Travis barker suck that also leads to a huge debate.

And you need technique and stamina for metal... I hate when people say "oh Metal drumming is not as good as jazz" just shut up!!

@z3r0Projects

Actually even with with many modern drummers. Many of the past jazz legends destroy just about any drummer today still. But I agree, its hard to find styles that are constantly progessing and a society accepting of the many incredible talents out there because they don't want to lose their prestige.

@FutileExistence People hate change and desperately need to hold on to the past to feel good about themselves. Drummers that were the king 20 years ago are being embarrest by 12 year old kids. I personally love to see how metal seems to be the only (or one of the few) style of music that  is constantly evolving.

I'm sorry but saying it's 'cheating' to use 2 feet is absolute bollocks. it's all down to personal playing style, there are tonnes of amazing death metal drummers who use 2 feet. Off the top of my head Vitek.

the only really hard thing in jazz i ghost notes which is used in all kinds of styles not just freaking jazz

[HailThyDrumKit]

Forget this stupid debate Jazz and Metal are both awesome and technical. Jazz is just Metal for old people!

@AgentHomer haha forgot to look when you posted it xD srr for that

[AgentHomer]

@asphixa I probably just realized that jazz melodies sound different, but that's because of their approach to playing them and because of the scales they use (they use some scales like the melodic minor (MMA -> Melodisch Moll Aufwärts, no clue what it's called in english), which are very uncommen in rock music, not because of "special chords". please, never respond do comments that are more than a year old ever again, in fact, don't respond to a comment older than a month, that'd be nice.

[AgentHomer]

@asphixa no offence, but... you reply to comments which are more than a year old? Are you crazy? I probably was arond fifteen then (I'm 17 now). Do you know what kinda shit you babble when you're fifteen? man, this is so long ago, you know: I changed as a person, like a lot since then. I know jazz is about improvising more than about "special chords", I barely knew what a chord was back then, damnit.

[asphixa]

@AgentHomer no offence but I lol'd at " jazz is about using special chords ". Jazz is about improvisation mostly, using special chords is a very personal approach, I'd say for jazz guitar comping with complicated chords is something you would just not do because you take some of the freedom the guy who's improvising has. and jazz standards mostly just consist of II V I or I IV II V.. or not even that complicated if you play modal jazz which can just consist of 2 chords which gives more freedom

@EllaMews no, blues appeared this the late 19th century America . so there was tons of music before that. you are right in saying that jazz was born from blues and some metal came from blues, but also lots of metal has classical roots
