Good bands that use only 1 bass drum?

[Life Sucks]

Slower paced black metal (Burzum, Graveland, Drudkh, etc.) does not require double bass. Neither does doomdeath or some slower paced death metal.

I was about to say... if they don't use double bass, their drummer must be inhuman to do those "galloping" triple kicks.

Iron Maiden have never used double bass drums/pedals, except on one recent track, Dance of Death's 'Face in the Sand'.

If you listen more closely, there are in fact no "galloping triple kicks" in their tracks. The heel-toe technique is employed quite liberally by McBrain, which generates a fast double stroke, and this can sound like three beats due to the often galloping bass playing of Steve Harris, but only one foot is used.

I get what you're saying, but Drudkh and Burzum have extensive double bass.

Uh...she didn't ask you to be more specific. Maybe you could learn to read?

Nor did he say that she did - he was just emphasising why he posted it. The post was perfectly reasonable.

Indeed. Slow-paced BM with double-bass is orgasmic.

Yes, she did, she went back and edited her post, numbnuts. Panzerfaust666's reply "yea, be more specific" was agreeing with her telling me to be more specific. Not that it matters anyway.

Hmmm. There is one song on Somewhere In Time that I did listen closely too because I could've sworn it was double bass. I didn't think about the heel-toe technique though, so that's understandable. Perhaps Nicko's a better drummer than I've given him credit for.

No. He looked at that picture of me when I had pink hair and assumed I was a dolt. He then proceeded to treat me like one even though I did nothing to him.


edit: But what else is knew.

I don't think Six Feet Under uses double bass blast beats.
