Yeah, he makes it look easy, and it pisses me off. I tried dumming along to "Behold Judas" and my wrists were killing me not even a minute into it.

Great technique, but poor application.

Some one should take his cymbals away from him, or simply leave him with only one. He might learn of that complex concept called taste. Although, after meeting him some years ago, i'm not surprised that such meat-headed drumming comes from such a simpleton as he - the whole fucking band was like that. They're walking death metal cliches.

"Derek Roddy of Hate Eternal tried out for drums but was rejected. He was ultra fast but not technical enough. Lee Fisher got the job instead" - Metal Archives (Psyopus notes)

hahaha.. Psyopus are the shizzle

I wouldn't say he has poor application at all, nor would I say he isn't technical. He's technical as all shit, and, personally (whatever anyone else may think), I think his use of cymbals sounds cool when played behind the music, cause it's all so apeshit.

Super Fast, but nothing special other than that, hes really fucking good, but there were 3 drumbeats in that video and too much cymbal usage. It got kinda boring. Hell of alot better than me though.

Well, i'm not into Hate Eternal at all but this guy is trully amazing..so fucking fast, so fucking precise...of course, it doens't sound that musical but i think it's just the drum parts of a Hate Eternal song, it does sound like this to my ears...
And if anyone knows how to find videos like this one but with Frost or/and Hellhammer, then it would be nice to contact me !!
