Not one of which is a metal drummer (at least in the modern sense- maybe in the classical sense) so not sure I get your point?Tell that to John Bonham, Ian Paice, Vinnie Appice, and Don Brewer.

What is now considered "metal" is purely comical, except I'm not laughing.Not one of which is a metal drummer (at least in the modern sense- maybe in the classical sense) so not sure I get your point?
Yeah, we should have just stopped at Maiden, Priest and Sabbath and not evolved or tried anything new.What is now considered "metal" is purely comical, except I'm not laughing.
That's my point. It should have evolved, not devolved.Yeah, we should have just stopped at Maiden, Priest and Sabbath and not evolved or tried anything new.
Get off my lawn!! ?
Half of that list used 2 bass drums at one point lmao.Tell that to John Bonham, Ian Paice, Vinnie Appice, and Don Brewer.
It did and continues to evolve. Metal is about pushing boundaries. If metal didn't evolve, the one handed roll and heel/toe double bass wouldnt exist. What new techniques have evolved from other genres in the past 20 years?That's my point. It should have evolved, not devolved.
You're talking about technique, and physical abilities. I'm talking about music. Music requires rhythm, harmony and melody. What you call metal (for that matter, pretty much 90% of most "music" for the last 20 years) has the harmonic/melodic/rhythmic sophistication of a deaf 6-year old. If you want to include lyrical content, it's even worse.If metal didn't evolve, the one handed roll and heel/toe double bass wouldnt exist.

I hate not knowing if he found the best pedal or not.Once again. I hope the OP from 2008 got this pedal stuff sorted out as it's been 12 years.
While I might agree about the lacking harmony and melody, would you perhaps concede that meshuggah is quite rhythmically advanced beyond the 70’s metal that you seem most impressed with?You're talking about technique, and physical abilities.

It seems that many people equate drumming to some sort of olympic sport. Higher, faster, louder.

Yes! Death to false metalWhat is now considered "metal" is purely comical, except I'm not laughing.
Got to share the stage with Man-O-War. Incredibly nice guys, they put on one hell of a show.
No wimps or poseurs in attendance I assume?! ?Got to share the stage with Man-O-War. Incredibly nice guys, they put on one hell of a show.

My bass player and I hung out at the merch table during the show. The girl at their merch table knew their whole show word for word. She would say it, then they would say it. Everything about their show was rehearsed.Did they play the song that has sword fight clang sounds in it?
