It's a drum machine, and by the way, check out Pig Destroyer if you haven't already. That's Scott Hull's other band. Brian Harvey has "Super Human Powers" as a drummer.

Damn, my feet stink bad right now... time to change the old socks.

Bullshit it's a drum machine...ever seen any live footage? Thats a real human looking robot they got behind that kit...whores.

I don't know anything about this band, but I'll say this: just because it's human drummer live, doesn't mean they didn't use a drum machine on the CD.

I'm pretty sure they used live drums on the recording process, but sampled them, and manipulated them through a computer.

 

[genocide roach]

the sound isnt what makes me curious, cuz a shitload of bands use triggers and other affects. i'm talkin about the speed! them blast beats are QUICK!

[Soilent Goat]

Well, studio-wise I'm not certain. But they do have a drummer who plays with them..they don't rely on a drum machine alone.

 

[Soul_Schizm]

I'll have to check them out sometime. Now I'm curious

You're really fucking stupid... it's a drum machine... Agoraphobic Nosebleed is pretty well known for using drum machines... and another thing, do you mind telling me just when you saw Agoraphobic Nosebleed live?

Checked out a couple songs on mp3.com

Sounds like a straight drum machine to me. I have no idea about their live set, of course.

They've never played live, the guy is full of shit. If anyone is ever going to drum for them, it'll be Dave Witte... but it probably won't happen.

 

[LordFireworm]

Haha.
Soilent Goat is a lying retard.
AN have NEVER played live.

Drum machine. But it's some of the best drum machine programming I have ever heard.

 

[Mendicant]

If you want interesting berserk drum machine programming check out Wyoming band Monostat 7 - they put out an album on Relapse called Now Available Without A Prescription and it is crazy stuff - sort of Primus mixed with Agoraphobic - sadly they no longer exist but this cd is well worth tracking down

 

[Soul_Schizm]

Hmmmm. My measure of "great drum machine programming" is whether or not it can immediately be identified as a machine. The AN tracks I heard were obviously a machine--therefore I wouldn't say it's terribly good drum programming. There are a couple fairly well-known CDs out there that many people think were played by a person, but are in fact a machine. Those are the ones I consider "good" from a programming perspective.

You guys & gals are all aware that you can simply record the drums at a very slow speed, and then just increase the metronome to make them faster, right? It's not like someone had to actually "play" the machine that fast...

Necrophagist has the best drum machine programming I've ever heard.
