And it's a prosthetic leg!!

I just got a video of Frost from Satyricon doing a studio sound check. Shot from a handicam. First it's just an overhead of him doing a disgustingly loud, fast, solid blast. Then it cuts down to his kick, and OM*fukin'*G, he does his blasts single-pedal. What a bastard.

So... discuss non-triggered extreme metal drumgods. First person to say Hellhammer gets cornholed by Satan.

i thought basically everyone did single foot blasts? its prolly easier to coordinate than both feet

It's incredibly hard to keep time and hold the volume doing it single foot. It's a bit harder to coordinate two-foot style, but once you get the feel it's much easier. Of course single sounds better, but it's fucking evil on the calf muscles.

I know a lot of drummers who do blasts single pedal. Skinthrasher from Sauron makes it a point to always do it that way.

Sandoval was the best at this. Just listen to his stuff from Terrorizer.

wholy shit. I though one would need 2 pedals to do that shit.

You guys mean there is only one bass drum with one pedal on it instead of two pedals, or two bass drums?

I used to do blasts beats with a single pedal, but as soon as I got my tama double bass kit I started using both feet, I can keep time better like that. Now Im working on playing 16ths with my feet and 8ths on the snare and hi hat. Here is something difficult to do, play 16ths with your feet, 8ths on the snare, and triplets with your right hand on the ride, Ive heard that beat on the new Nile Album.

Single-pedal as in just using one foot to do the fast accompanying kick-drum part involved in a blast beat : one foot quickly doing 8ths or 16ths with the snare/ride/hi-hat.
