So I got Deaths Human afew days ago. I now have them all. I cant recall ANY of the having any blast beats. Not that Death needed them.



So, Blast beats... Discuss.

peeeeete the feet fucking sandoval. he is a fucking machine. seriously.

Human is thier best album!!! blast beats are the true integrity of metal drumming...along with fast doublebass.....which human has to definitly offer as well

hmmmm.....Hellhammer.....yep thats my vote.

Human is there best one. I'm not so into blast beats through an entire song but they're are awesome.

Khanate's drummer plays the best blast beats.

what are ya sayin andy..hahaha

SO far Human is my least favorite, but I'll give it time.
I like blast beats, but It all depends.

Derek Roddy = blast beat machine.

Nile and Vital Remains have tight as fuck blasts.

i only have to say 3 things....

Spazz

Charles Bronson

asshole parade


...thank you

you guys need to see the video clips i have of sandoval, an then you will believe me that no one can match up to him.

Dave Suzuki
the dude from Krisiun
the dude from Imperial SOdomy
Duane Timlin
those dudes have my favorite sounding blasts.

no tim yueng in here? wtf?

i think blast beats are kind of stupid, a lot of bands overuse them. especially death metal bands, where the guitars aren't always fast, but they use blast beats anyways just to be "brutal". there aren't many bands out there that know how to use blast beats and make it sound good.

RustedAngel said peeeeete the feet fucking sandoval. he is a fucking machine. seriously.

for real, i saw that guy at the old Axis when it was shitty like the Rat. guy never stopped, he aight real and he's wearing boots that weigh as much as a small girl.

TODD!
http://www.unmatchedbrutality.com/ij.html - Imperial Sodomy is fucking sick shit man! I wonder what Anne has to say about them. Fastest French band I can think of.

No. Not a single Death album has any Blast Beats on them Gene only started blasting during the Old Man Child sessions and now Blast's with SYL. As far as good blasting drummers ar concerned-like anything if done correctly and fittingly can sound good anywhare. Take for instance Tony Laureano. Here's a guy who has an arsenal of blast beats. You got to remember, there is way more than one type of blast beat. Then there is George Kolias(new drummer for Nile) who is clocking in on single foot blast at 265bpm. Alex Hernandez from Immolation is another good blaster. He does alot more with it than the norm. He's taken it and made it enjoyable with the music.Pete Hammoura, another good blaster and all-around great drummer. That's all for now.

I'd agree that no DEATH drumlines could be called blasts.

As many may guess, I'm very much into the primitive blasting style, ala early SODOM and SEPULTURA, SARCOFAGO, BLASPHEMY, CORPSE MOLESTATION/BESTIAL WARLUST, NIFELHEIM, CONQUEROR, etc. These bands' blasts are so frenzied and feral, I love it.

For more "refined" blasting, I definitely gotta give it up for Sandoval, Steve Asheim, Hellhammer (for his work on Live In Leipzig and DMDS, new "MAYHEM" is garbage), Faust (In The Nightside Eclipse was definitely a milestone speedwise for '95), Longstreth for the first 2 ANGEL CORPSE albums, Max from KRISIUN, the ROTTEN SOUND drummer, John Gillis, Nate Linehan, Jeff Beckwith, just to name a handful.

live would be difficult to live without blastbeats.

definetly agree that blast beats sound good when placed correctly and tend to get boring if used too much. As far as Death goes I really like Sounds of Perseverence.

Pete, Trym, Roddy.

Shit, don't worry knucka. You got that shit on lock down.

i can do blast beats....frozen forest cunts!

origin has some nasty blasts
Im not a fan of the constant blast....moderate use is good tho.

No one said kevin talley. Hellhammer, personally I like the guy from Nasum, very consistent and loud. Fat drummers rule.

blast beats are fucking awesome.
but breakdowns thats where it gets real tough.
