wow thts cool ...cant wait for my DB to try these out :D
Hey everyone, saw a cool video of George Kollias (Nile) on youtube. And he explained a lot of various types of blast beats. One in particular is this 'bomb blast'. I thought it might help out anyone learning blast beats.
Basically the beat is 16th on the bass drum, 16ths on the snare and 8ths on the cymbals (usually ride).
If you want it in tab, here you are:

If it was snares on quarters it wouldn't be a blast beat.

wats a blast beat actually ?
I have too try that!
A blast beat is whats normally used in grindcore, extreme metal and black metal. It's characterised by torrents of snare and alternating bass drums. There's plenty of variations on the classic blast beat.
An example of the classic blast beat
A lot of metal bands use them frequently, listen to At the Gates or old In Flames or Deicide. You find them everywhere.

Thomas Lang is crazy at blast beats!!!!!!
he has a funny acent also
"Bow Down To The Almighty Bunghole!"
lang is incredible, at alot more than blasts. even tho he is good at it, i dont really think of him as a blast drummer. in the death metal blast beat genre, i think longstreth is a notch above all. kolias, flo, roddy....ect. are good but john is THE man.
