Protip: Music is opinion, but if you get to close, someone's gonna clock you with their double bass pedal. Protip2: Metroid should be a genre. I'm a drummer. I listen to stuff thats fast, and challenging. I like a good challenge, and Death Metal does that for me. Also, Bullet for My Valentine is awesome too. Anybody listen to Metroid Metal? (or is that completely redundant to ask?) Cuz, Stemage is some good musikz.( I spelled that wrong on purpose) |

I'm also a drummer (punk drummer), and frankly all the metal drummers I know are wimps, at least when it comes to bass. Their precious double bass saves them from ever having to actually work their legs, which results in their foot moving pathetically slower than mine. Aaaand my objections to double bass are twofold. I hate the sound of CONSTANT double bass throughout a song. Double bass, in my opinion=good for fills, good in a beat when used SPARINGLY and based on a solid beat with the hands, not used constantly with a lame beat with the hands based on the double bass. Which actually brings me to my THIRD objection regarding double bass. The players I know, while able to do some fairly fast fills with their hands, have shitty shitty stamina. Since what laughable work they DO put into drumming goes into their double bass and their fills, they don't actually have any stamina or sustained speed with their arms/hands/wrists. They just... can't keep up with me =/ Note that these are all based on my (and my ex band's) experience with metal drummers, and I'm sure there are exceptions. Or maybe the pathetic metal drummers around here are the exceptions... all I know is that the "speed metal" players couldn't keep up with me if they suddenly lost their double bass. My ex band went through a number of metal drummers after I quit, and none of them had the stamina to get through our medium speed stuff. Finally they gave up and settled on one and worked him every day for three weeks until he could do it (Yeah, I quit a month before a show..), and then dropped him as soon as they played the show since he was a d-bag and had absolutely no rhythm anyway. (....and yes, I know that HE, at least, was an exception <_< I've never seen such a terrible drummer trying to pass himself off as great.) And that is why I have a vendetta against double bass. Or at least newbie drummers flocking to the double bass because they don't have the patience to work up their speed properly. Endrant. Also, fast=/=hard. P.S., yes, I love stemage. |

Oh, Tim, I have absolutely zero doubt about that <_<;;; Hand technique, hand SPEED, blarg. I wanted to join marching band for that reason, but living in a small town killed that possibility. And I'm afraid to join a college marching band, considering I have zero experience with it from highschool.. but I might just check it out anyway. 0_0 Ernie>Animal??! |

Cloud: Join, it's fun. It's also relatively easy to learn, unless their drum line is like ours.... Phlakes: Agreed, that was my opinion too. |

Referring to Cloud's last post on page 2 (at least on my settings lol), I also heard that Blink 182 is back together. People put flyers up in my school. I lol'd. But Blink 182 is good. Also, on a more relevant note, I agree with Cloud. Although I only know, like, 4 beats on the drum because my buddy taught me them, I'm sure my buddy would agree with Cloud. He moved onto Double Bass only AFTER he could play at the same speed with a single bass pedal. No easy task, I would assume. My friend also put a shit load of time into his hands. IMO, you haven't lived until you've seen him drum. I'll send my friend a message on myspace or something, see if he can't record his drumming on youtube (audio and video. He's a video freak). I'll give you guys the link if I get one. OH, btw, I like jazz too. I'll never get tired of listening to a guy wailing on a Trumpet or a guy pouring his soul into a Saxophone. |

I don't have a double bass pedal, but I am a total metal head. Cloud, I respect your dislike of double bass, and that's as far as I'm going to pursue it. I'm fairly good at the drums. I watch the greats, like Steve Gadd, Dave Weckl, Vinni Calloita (or however you spell that) so, I'm not totally a metal head. I listen to jazz, and classic rock. Steely Dan, Kansas, Yes, Rush. I'm more diverse than I originally stated. |

Well, the double bass can do great things. Just not in the hands of newbies that jump straight to the double bass, in which case it can only do sub-mediocre things. I just found it funny that the same guy who told me "you don't need double bass for punk" was the same guy who couldn't keep up with my band's songs <_< (For the record, that drummer=the lulz.) Jazz and classic rock? Woot. Good man =D Jazz is awesome, I personally love it. Hence my secondary instrument, the alto sax. Also, tenor and bari sax on occasion =3 Fun stuff, but I can't freestyle on a sax at all. |

I play Alto Sax in my School Band. 'Tis a fun instrument. The best part about the Sax family: you learn one of them, you can play all of them. Just takes a little more air control. I freestyled a Jazz Solo once. It was fun, unfortunately, my band teacher did not think so. She gave the part to someone else. I like freestyling on the Sax. Come to think of it, that was around the time I stopped participating in the school's Jazz Band. Now, I play Jazz on my own, and it's a heck of a lot better. |

Cloud, if you wanna see some cool jazz with the greatest drummers of all time, look for the Buddy Rich Memorial Concert. It's got the buddy rich band, and there playin all his old songs. They also have this crazy saxophonist who seems to play faster than Dragonforce, and he's on a saxophone. |
