    More metal drummers need to utilize accents. I'm suprised that accents just aren't very prevalent in any music other than jazz and early rock. Accents can really bring a lot of creativity to drums.

      421s on the toms i believe and the batter side of the kick. snare is the usual shure. Cymbals and possible OH seem like sm81s but it's been awhile since I've been around audio stuff. Going off just the body shapes.

    nailed it. you played it so well.....the only issue i have is there was no showmanship.
    czcams.com/video/ZY2WW1CACwk/video.html
    have a look at dave lombardo playing black magic with slayer in the 90's when i reckon he
    really honed his skills. he was playing a song much more simple. but christ the way he played made that song so much more metal.
    it's always impressive to see people do playthroughs and be better at it than the drummer that wrote it.
    But i'll always prefer an "animal" type drummer, who is a little bit messy but is animated and is exciting to watch.
    When you watch Lombardo play, especially in this clip i linked. I saw a bloke that didn't give a flying fuck about if he was good or not.

    @chillierspore8786 Před 4 lety

    I want to give the album a chance, but this videos audio quality is very bad
    the toms sound muddled, the entire kit in general sounds clunky and chunky
    which is distracting me from this guys great chops
    cant say I am a fan of the vocals on this track either
    but that could just be poor EQ-ing on either the side of originally recording or on this side, Idk who mic'd this and said it sounded good, but, better luck next time.
    Good Drummer, but the Snare and Ride especially bother me, as well as that right side crash, they do not sound good, bass drum is too quiet, but I can tell his timing is on spot and he has good chops, great drummer, bad audio
