3. What about john zorn's naked city album? That shit has blast beats all over

4. How is Derek Roddy mentioned nowhere in here?? The video title is literally taken from the book he wrote on blast beats! 😂

5. Just curious, what do you think of Drumcore by A Kriv? 🤔

6. That is not Tony Williams in the video

7. You are right about modern production Finn. It really hurts the sound in metal and hardcore.

8. NYC Mayhem fucking rules!

9. You added Slipknot to the list of these bands! Slipknot does have blast beats but not like Napalm Death or Suffocation or Devourment! Theres more blast beats then ever! The Underground Grind bands are bigger then ever!

10. I'm 6:31 minutes in and you want to skip over Sepultura's 1986 – AntiChrist!?
    Well, then lads ….. Shall we burn his house down?

11. I always liked "air" between the notes. For me, "Digital Bath" from Deftones starts off with one of the hardest beats. It's that air between the hits that gets me. I would rather that then, "pop, pop, pop, pop, pop" and 6000 bpm.

12. And now a brief came by 66Samus

13. It’s interesting that you mentioned DRI’s part in the creation of blast beats. Back in 1985 I was briefly the bass player for DEATH. And our drummer was Eric Brecht, the original drummer of DRI. If you check out our Death demo ‘Back From The Dead’, or a live recording of us at Ruthie’s Inn from 1985 you can hear Eric using blast beats constantly. Between those two bands I think a legitimate argument can be made for Eric Brecht being one of the earliest blast beat drummers. Although, as you pointed out, the Beastie Boy’s drummer Kate Schellenbach beat DRI to the recording studio by about four months.

14. The first blast beats I ever heard were on the Iowa album by Slipknot. That album is full of blast beats and that changed my life tbh

15. D.R.I thats it stop there!

16. SOD…milk.

17. Great video. Maybe I can add Sepultura, especially the Arise album – there are what I call "Helicopter" beats as they sounded like helicopter passing when blasted loud.

18. Napalm death….the peel sessions…..amazing😎😎

19. Cryptic slaughter used blast beats as well…..and the accused

20. Man ….the first time I heard mick Harris on scum and then Pete Sandoval on terrorizer world downfall changed everything……dead shall rise is still one if my favourite ever songs from terrorizer

21. Hunting for them “like legendary Pokémon” hahahah

22. Can you do an episode on "street punk"? (ie, a global threat, the unseen, etc…)

23. Before I even watch this vid the answer is Pete from Morbid Angel, yeah there where some others a few years earlier But Alters of Madness is on the Mount Rushmore for a blast beat album.. Fuckin Immortal Rites, Maze of Torment, Chapel of Ghouls .. Scott Burns Death Metal tuned drum room at Morrisound..Come On!! My Fav contemporary has to be Shawn from Carnifex, I've never seen anyone else do stick finger rolls as he's blasting the snare & double bass, it's wild to watch 🙂

24. Everyone go check out Ken Bedene of Aborted

25. Battles in the north is fucking God tier

26. this is school

27. I think Cold Hate Warm Blood by Crytopsy before triggers and a much younger Flo Mounier is maybe their most special song. I still had the yellow Sony Walkman and had to rewind that song over and over. Much ❤️.

28. Flo Mounier is the king

29. Thank you! 🙂

30. TIL that Lister from "Red Dwarf" hosted a variety show.
