And now he plays with Lamb Of God. Amazing dude!
Right?!
Thanks to everyone's positive comments. Worked real hard to get this done for YOU!
Hell Ya
Didn't even recognize ya man.
Art has become a household name in the drumming community. I enjoy watching his past and current videos with Lamb. As a drummer myself, I enjoy learning some of your techniques. Thanks for uploading and sharing. When I started drumming in the 90's, we didn't have access to content like this to learn from. Most of our learning was by ear and guessing what's being played. Wish I had this technology to learn from like today. So kids,... take advantage of it. Soak up the knowledge.
That was totally awesome!!! I'm just beginning to learn the double pedal. I'm a 3 time stroke survivor who also has drop foot in both feet. I wear full leg braces. It took me 3 months to press the pedal down w my foot. I am determined to learn this. Watching you did wonders for me. Thank you so much
Beautiful, graceful lyrics.
UWEEE UWEEE UWEEEE
This technique is so simple. I have always been a fan of dual kicks and even for someone who doesn't have a great grasp on keeping in rhythm it helps to alternate feet doing this. It has really helped. Thank you Art for sharing with us the power of the heel-toe technique
3:37 is insane. Forget heel toe! Straight Up Beast!
Holy shit. I remember watching this the day it came out. Now it's 10 years old
He is an excellent musician with a great feeling for time and speed. No doubt .
I see him from time to time. lol
he lives like a 10 minute walk away from my house.
haha
Song = Winds Of Plague - Chest And Horns
Incredible technique and precision. Awesome.
Sir ... thank you ! You're the first that made me really understand this. I've watched countless vids on it ... never really grasped it ... it might be the fact that you showed it not on the pedal .... but hey .... i got it ! Now it's practice time !
I've just learned this! Was very difficult for my feet to understand the back and forth but it's amazing to get some very interesting fills.
EDIT: THOUGHTS
I LOVE WHO THIS IS ALMOST PERFECT FOR CRAZY SPEEDS AND LESS FATIGUE IN MY OPINION AND BLAST BEATS ARE SOMEWHAT EASIER.... SOMEWHAT. But i have been able to make my way through some of Joey Jordison style patterns!
I love how a hi-hat pedal isn't even required lol
I don't care what music, what technique or anything else, you can't deny the talent!
I've been trying to learn this for my band. This is helping the most.
I don't really like this song of music although I admire the drumming. I think it's the most difficult genre to drum at and this guy does it amazingly good. Keep it up man
so where is the lesson
KILLER SKILLS! Great power.
I enjoyed this a lot & it's nothing like anything I ever listen to. Thanks for opening my ears (& mind) a little. I LIKE, also, the way you show the technique super clearly and then immediately follow with a full-on in-context demo.
tricks drumms the best (Y)
Yeah, they actually told him to play the bass slower because it was becoming one singular note.
hiurro is that a Jared dines joke?
Potato master 460
probably. I don't remember where I heard it.
Amar Donepudi
yeah, I just looked and that was the video I saw
when the bpm is measured in hz
💀💀🤣🤣🤣
Wow, great explanation and demonstration
That was awesome.
Let's everyone just keep in mind that it doesn't matter what pedals you have or how big your feet are to do heal-toe. The CORRECT way of doing heal-toe doesn't even require you to have your heal on the pedal.
This is also a correct way to do heel-toe, but it only works on a long board. But this technique is not incorrect in any way. If it works for you, it works, if not, then try another technique.
Dang the speed of the snar in some parts
Awesome drum sound and playing
Good God man. I've heard tons of players with fast feet but never heard anyone
tighter than this young man. I'm in awe.
I've got a lot of respect for speed metal drummers because I could never pull off what they do. It just sounds like noise IMO
This is not speed metal, not even close.
apiece ofdirt this isn't speed, infant annihilator is
Joonas Kirss True
Aron Ahlbäck What would you consider it?
Joonas Kirss IA is deathcore
Great drummer and great technique! this technique takes too long to develop friend? big hug! gained a subscribed!
uhm, heel toe is super easy. like anything. you just gotta want it
may be easy for you to have more experience, but my foot does not fit in my shoe P2000B Eliminator pedal, it is difficult to train just right, the foot hits the pedal :/
Eduardo pereira da silva
your foot does not have to "fit" in your pedal for you to be able to play heel toe
Thank's man , i'm training this technique :)
fantastic stuff that blew my head off ..!!!!
Amazing Sound
Is that Cookie Monster on vocals? he sings on all the death metal songs..
He must be pretty busy, then, altering his voice for all of the bands and all...
Except Obiturary
Drumming is ok, not my kind of music but you play it smooth and with excelent timming. Well done!
your playing is so clean.
Amazing drumming.
Love it but it's not really necessary, unless you want to go way faster than what's being played here.
What's the point of using the heel toe technique for five single stroke rolls only? 3:38, you're going a full-legged and tensed heel down motion when you could be using the heel toe technique.
Seems kinda lazy....
It's been a while you posted that video though, I guess it changed...
Agreed, check out origin or cattle decapitation for INSANE heel toe
Awesome....
The technique is can be learned witch is a great job you've demonstrated in this video.....
Thank you
That was deadly, thank you
he doesn't use hi-hat stand. why he doesn't play hi hat open play?
style of music. It's just smashing everything and using the hi hat means no double bass action all the time
What is a ride cymbal? This man may never know...
It's actually very simple. There are 7 types of cymbals in the world (though only 4 of them are used generally) there is the Crash, which is the standard cymbal he's hitting, there is the ride like you said, which is a really large cymbal which you don't necessarily hit hard, you kinda just tap it with the tip of your sticks. There is a splash, which are the little cymbals that are in the middle which make a sound similar to well, a splashing sound. And finally, there's the Hybrid, which kinda sounds like tinfoil being hit, and are the two cymbals where the Middle is inclined down.
You're welcome :D
Will Fendon Don't you get his Sarcasm? Or is that meant that way as well? Man.. Can't figure out if you're serious..
***** hes a nerd nerds dont get sarcasm
***** only logic
Or maybe just possibly because I've been a Hardcore Drummer for 5+ years, I know my shit. Ever think of that?
Excellent...so powerful and precise ,clean...just awesome !!
this is a great video for the song and the lesson.
Great technique, but not really a fan of that triggered-bass sound.
Way too clicky for my taste.
There are even more clickysounding triggers. ;)
Hey kids! Dont forget the ONLY way you can use this bullshit version of "heel toe" is if you go out and buy $800 dollar axis pedals three times the size of your actual feet!
+Ville Nummisalo look up Jared falk videos he has a pretty explanation. Actual heel toe (as Jared falk explains) is actually more like toe toe . You drop you heel and hit the pedal with like the balls of your feet and then you kind of slide forward and get the second hit.
theone1 Yeah that's exactly what I would have referred to. Some people think you NEED a longboard, but you dont, that was my point.
+Ville Nummisalo of course not! But I've this bs technique floating around for to long.
thank you !!!!!!!
+riflemanpro yes you do 😂
I will check out that video, thank you brother. Always open to eating my words
Art Cruz Its Amazing!!!!
the drumming is sweet but this kind of music literally makes me laugh. These kind of vocals just make me smile and think how they are trying to sound heavy.
so fucking true!
who the hell ask you about the vocals... damn never crossed your mind that he might think the same about your kind of music....
for example watching this video brought one simple and accurate comment... AAAnd its not about the ???VOICE??? its about how this is a heel Toe Drum lesson? ;) start making productive comments!
chuck billy's normal voice sounds better than these growlers... and when it comes to growling no one can beat phil fuckin h anselmo.
I know where you're coming from, listen to to Slipknot 1999 - 2002 stuff for some pretty heavy vocals.
This type of drum sound is the main reason I have no interest in metal anymore. It a shame because so many of these players are absolutely incredible. I just can't get past the synthetic drums. Metal should be dirty. Now it has become homogenized like everything else.
um then leave
+Cody Sampson You must be very wise.
jcbacongrease I agree, I loved when metal drums had different sounds like John Bonham's drumset or dave lombardo drumset with different tunnings and unique bass drum sounds, that's what made them especial. Now they just sound the same :(
Exactly.
jcbacongrease when I tune my drumset I want it to have power and good harmonics, not to be dead
Dats the first ever drumming video which I njoyd....n respect
Great lesson.
He use Triggers for the Bass-Drum. Please don't use them if you want to teach something. Its not really hard to play fast with triggers...
The triggers make no difference to the speed at all.
But it is Very important for the Sound.
Hollandia SV Yes, but it makes no difference to how difficult or easy something is to play, that's a misconception.
You dont need much power at all for triggers you can just tap it and the sample will register. Without a trigger the sound may not be picked up by a mic
I've heard that said lots, personally, the faster I go, the harder I hit, not because I'm consciously trying, but that's just how it is. Most drummers I know of that use triggers do so because the bass drum hit that fast stops sounding like individual hits, and starts sounding like a single sustaining note because of the physical shape of the sound wave. I don't know anyone who can play that fast and doesn't have the power. You could be right, but it seems like a myth to me tbh.
Freaking awesome!!! Thanks for the mini lesson in the beginning! It helped a lot.
Amazing!
ahh winds of plague
This dude is for real .... Great drumming man...
Insane drumming. Very nice and rhythmic.
