I thought he was hitting the snare a little light. Although playing along to a cd in a small room may have had him holding back.
He was tight as though.
Some nice cymbal fills.
It will be interresting to see how hard he hits the skins in a live environment.

Tbh all that matters is that he was tight. Its death metal drumming after all. Technique sets apart drummers that are good and ones that are mediocre.

I don't think power is one of his strong points, from watching that he is all fingers and wrists and has no strong backbeat, he didn?t play a rim shot once. Turning up the output on a trigger module does not make you a powerful drummer.

BWAHAHAHAH!! Nice one. Reminds me of a guy I went to high school with. He called himself D'Zol. Supposedly on his debut album he was supported by the "Youngstaz killaz". Good times.

I'm pretty sure i've seen a few vids by that drummer. I think he even covered "Bland street bloom" by Sikth... Could be a different guy though.

New Vocalist..

I remember seeing that dude a while back. The scenes where he's in the shower just defy description. What the hell was he thinking? If you want to do a shower scene, don't fucking lather up and actually get into the crevices like that..... This is all pretend!
Great vocalist though...... keeps on those notes like a king!

Check this out...

SAURON has just released an album with a new Death Metal band made up of former members of Vader/Yattering.

http://www.myspace.com/masachistband

It's still technical brutal death metal, which leads me to ask....Why didn't he come back to sing for Decapitated?
Maybe he doesn't get along with the rest of the band, or didn't like where the band was headed. Maybe he saw/heard Organic Hallucinosis coming and decided to bail.

Sucks because i think we can all agree Sauron is definitely better than Covan. I just wish the old band could get back together (Minus Vitek) but i guess you can tell Decapitated want to move in a different direction when you see the tracks they wanted the new vocalist to audition for.

Still Masachist's new album is here to download and it fucking rocks. Kind of 'Winds Of Creation' style. Sauron hasn't lost a step either.
Just scroll down and you will find the album - http://theunderworldofmusic.blogspot.com/


That's awesome.....good to see Sauron doing something again.
I'm very worried about Decapitated, I don't care much for kinda screamy vocals....didn't think much of Organic Hallucinosis and this new drummer...frankly he seems to fit into the whole screamy thing - I remember he used to have covers on youtube of some pretty weak songs. Still, he's very good technically and I mean no disrespect to Decapitated, they've had some terrible luck.

He's also not an amazing drummer.

But we have to see him play something within his shell.

Compare these two drummers

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KumYxSpYZeQ

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gXINemV8E_0&feature=channel_page

Both are blasting and using triggers and so there isn't much of a difference sound wise, but its pretty obvious who is putting more effort into their strokes. I don't have anything against triggers (in fact I'm considering using them for when I start recording), its when drummers sacrifice power for speed and use them to make up for it.

Perversion of Hate! :headbang:

I really don't see your point though? both drummer's seem to be hitting fairly hard, maybe Longstreth is hitting a little harder but not by much, as for Sacrificing power for speed, when you blast at Speeds of 280bpm+ you use a different technique that requires the stick to not leave the snare (or the beater not leave the kick) a foot each time, that's the whole point of Trigger's! There's no point acting the Terry cos you can hit hard if your still only playing at 240bpm, ya know? you kind of have to sacrifice one for the other, and if your using trigger's who cares if your not hitting as hard as Mike Smith or Ben Mazzarol  :P

Not to mention that triggers are pretty much a necessity when playing at 240+BPM speeds, no matter how hard you're hitting.  How else are you going to cut through the walls of guitar distortion?

Even George Kollias says so, and he's known for having powerful and fast feet.

What Ben originally was saying is that triggers shouldn't be used to make a drummer sound really powerful when the truth is he is barely hitting the drum. Guys like George Kollias and Derek Roddy are proof that it is possible to play insanely fast and still maintain power regardless of whether they trigger their kit or not.

Oh right, I thought this thread was gonna deteriorate into yet another "if you use triggers, you're a pussy and don't hit hard enough" discussion :)

Derek is an animal. However there are situations where in a studio you need the drummer to hit & hit HARD to get the right sound. Some drummers become slack & this becomes evident when their hits become uneven.
Triggers can however also become the solution to fixing this problem also.
By adjusting the trigger to only register with harder hits you can keep cranking the machine as you get better without sacrificing speed.
Seeing as many drummers just can't practice on a real kit during the week in their small shoebox rental, then using a trigger kit is better than not practicing. The advantage is if you keep upping the ante on the module it can be used to improve playing technique.
Derek is a big fan of this way of practicing.
