Members DeadNight Warrior Posted January 29, 2003 Members Share Posted January 29, 2003 Depends how extreme you want to get and what kinds of thing you can listen to. A lot of European Power Metal has fast, but usually straight forward double kick. Bands like Stratovarius and Sonata Arctica etc. Also, stuff like Blind Guardian, Children of Bodom, Opeth, Nevermore, Symphony X etc. Personally, I'd say it's also worth your time to not only focus on getting your double kick up to speed, but work on different rhythms too, not just straight 16ths or whatever. For that, I'd say Dream Theater might be worth looking into. Then again, if you're only into more extreme metal stuff, then I dunno...go and listen to some Morbid Angel and be both inspired and shattered at the same time.

Members Chabo Posted January 31, 2003 Members Share Posted January 31, 2003 Go for some Metallica. Lars Ulrich is one of the more versatile double bass guys, but he does pretty much the same DB groove throughout a song, as opposed to Carter Beauford (Dave Matthews Band) or Mike Portnoy (Dream Theater). With these guys, you have to know the song note-for-note in order to play it even close to correctly, cause they hardly ever repeat anything. Some recommended Metallica songs:The Four HorsemenNo RemorseFor Whom the Bell TollsCreeping Death (as played in the studio is easy with single pedal, but as played live, requires double)Master of Puppets...And Justice for AllEye of the BeholderOne (my favorite song)Harvester of SorrowTo Live is to DieSad But TrueWhereever I May RoamThe God that Failed2x4Until It Sleeps (can be played with single, but double is easier, and more fun)Hero of the DayBleeding MeFuelThe Memory Remains For some faster Metallica double bass songs:Most of the album "Kill 'Em All", especially Hit the Lights and MotorbreathFight Fire with FireBatteryDisposable HeroesDamage IncBlackenedDyer's Eve (probably the fastest song ever recorded by Metallica) You could also try some Megadeth, that guy's pretty good, too. Check out the album "Countdown to Extinction" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members FuManchu Posted January 31, 2003 Members Share Posted January 31, 2003 Slayer has some awesome double bass, or you could go 30 years back and check out Emerson, Lake, and Palmer's "Brain Salad Surgery" album, Carl Palmer is one of the faster drummers I have seen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Blackacid Posted January 31, 2003 Members Share Posted January 31, 2003 Death has some really great stuff, but I'm only listing things that don't go 1000mph. My favorite drum patterns in this list are probably from Crystal Mountain. That song just has some great drum work in it. Chuck always dug up some amazing drummers, Gene Hoglan being one of my favorites. Artist , Song, Drummer---------------------------------------------------->Death, Human/Cosmic Sea, Sean ReinertDeath, The Philosopher, Gene HoglanDeath, Trapped in Corner, Gene HoglanDeath, Crystal Mountain, Gene HoglanDeath, Flesh and the Power it Holds, Richard Christy Some non-Death stuff----------------------------------------------------->Megadeth, Kill The KingCarcass, HeartworkCarcass, Death CertificatePantera, DominationShadows Fall, A Fire in BabylonObituary, Dying P.S. I'm no drummer, these are just some of the things I really dig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Jessz1 Posted February 1, 2003 Members Share Posted February 1, 2003 As far as fast stuff I would say morbid angle or hate eternal. Good double bass druming that has it all I would say Messugah. Probibly the most thought provoking drummer in metal right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members HulkBlood01 Posted February 3, 2003 Members Share Posted February 3, 2003 Originally posted by santi morbid angel-opening the gates end. of. topic. For a beginner? Are you nuts? Can you even play it? Hah, it'd be something to work to, but definitely not something to start on...maybe something more like slayers 'hell awaits'. Thats good beginner stuff.

Members swedishpornmonster Posted February 3, 2003 Members Share Posted February 3, 2003 Dimmu Borgir, Zyklon, Napalm Death, Slipknot, THE BERZERKER! Those band are all about the speed.

My website has some old songs on but there is alot of fast stuff. try "Kiss of carcarius" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Yokozuna Posted February 5, 2003 Members Share Posted February 5, 2003 First reaction: WTF? The topicstarter plays half a year DB and is able to play slipknot doubelbass rolls? Those are at an average speed of 14 beats per second (@ the IOWA album). You say you can get that speed and tight? Record it for me!!! We always talk about doublebass stuff in topics, but never someone posts a recording of it... So, be the master then.. I tried it, a 15beats doubelbass roll, but I still can't get it really tight without triggering + my left beater makes a totally different sound. My batterbasshead is fucked up Buying new one. Check the "post here your drumrecording 1" topic. Man, Lars Ulrich and doublebass? Not much special. Not Paul Bostaph nor Lars, when they play max speed they can't play really tight + hold volume. For doublebass songs? Quite simple, thrash metal, power metal, black metal, deathmetal, grindcore, slipknot etc. etc. For the metal doublebass god listen to Pete Sandoval, 17 beats/s. A speed I guess most drummers can never achieve and hold it a few seconds By the way, Tama Iron Cobra, good choice Not Digimortal Why not? At least the album doesn't only contain doublebass ROLLS. Also triplets etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Yokozuna Posted February 6, 2003 Members Share Posted February 6, 2003 Originally posted by Zildjian Phreak go for Slayer: God hates us all Why Paul Bostaph? Take some Dave Lombardo stuff. At least he plays a tight roll. And still I can't believe the topicstarter playing 14 beats/s doublebassrolls in half a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
