The thing that I like about this video is that it treats Blast Beats as a legitimate beat within the discourse of drumming. So often many drum instructionals either don't know what Blast Beats are or treat them as primitive or inferior. So thank you guys for treating Blasts as legitimate.
And I would add that I would like to see more peripheral or underground beats presented on the show. For example, the "D-beat" (also known as the "Discharge beat" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D-beat) is also largely ignored or debased within the context of drum education and there is a rich and long history surrounding the rhythmic feel it presents. Heck, I'll be your guest drummer for that episode! haha
Last, maybe some episodes on music philosophy. Specifically, I'd like to hear some discussion about how different musical genres effect different emotions and what maybe the ethical implications of these ways of feeling are. This is of course more high brow. But sometimes people get a little lost in technique and forget that music is a way of communicating moods and lifestyles, and that's one of it's most powerful aspects. Anyway, thanks guys!
"Even your favorite drummers couldn't make it sound good when they first tried..."
Well their was "Vitek" from Decapitated who was a complete badass at the age of 12...
the best live drummer that I have seen is Dave McGraw from cattle decapitation. He is amazingly fast and plays everything so solid. Its one thing to hear it on the album but to hear it live is another thing.
If you want to hear some crazy blast beats listen to bands such as: Rings of Saturn, Carnifex, Infant Annihilator, basicly any death metal/deathcore band!
