Hate Eternal: Ex-Hate Eternal Drummer places first in Fastest Feet
Category at NAMM Contest

Former Hate Eternal drummer Tim "The Missile" Yeung, who played on
Hate Eternal's 1999 Earache debut "Conquering The Throne", took first
place honors at this years NAMM fastest drummer contest. Yeung, who is
currently putting together a new extreme metal project with former Fear
Factory/Brujeria guitarist Dino Cazares, placed first in the NAMM
international Fasted Drummer contest in the "Fastest Feet Category" of
the contest. Tim officially came in at 872 beats within one minute. An
outstanding 'feet', bad pun intended. Pictures of Yeung and other
contest winners can be located at :

All of the Fastest drummer competitions were judged solely on single
strokes and did not include bounces, presses or buzz. Contestants for
required to perform for one full minute and were measured using a
"Drumometer". This year's winners received prizes including Two Pearl
Drum Sets, a year supply of ProMark drum sticks, two sets of Meinl
cymbals, Axis Longboard "A" double pedal, 50 Remo drum heads, and a
years subscription to Drum magazine.

not surprising at all

hmm, I have audio of someone doing 1460 beats in 60 seconds which is almost double what Yeung did there.

Damn the guy from Olddd Man Child had the record with 800

sucks that derek roddy didn't win.
he was at namm

maybe he didn't compete.....

hm.. I guess I'll ask him.

I don't think he placed first of all time, just for this year's competition. Wasn't that old Annihilator drummer the record-holder?

Also, there are multiple contests like this each year, aren't there?

what? do you think these companies are made of drum kits?

i'm not surprized. The new Decrepit Birth cd he's on owns.

rusted i know who you speak of, but "silverfeet" used a bouncing technique and not singlestrokes
