Jaska's double-bass !!

[TheNightspirit]

the best drummer there is; Trym from Emperor and Zyklon. Also, Frost, whom I've met, is awfully talented.

I just watch Bodom vids and on Milwaukie (dunno how to write it), the guy focus on the drums for 20 s and u can see how Jaska really rocks the double-bass !!
Fuckin' awesome !

yesterday i did a gig in a place with triggered drums...
and now i can tell you one thing for SURE:

if there's anything worse for a prog drummer to use triggered drums, it is using BAD triggered drums

Oh they are NOT disgusting.
They regulate the strength (thus the sound consistency, which is a good thing for it makes a cleaner sound) But the precision, timing, and speed are still up to the drummer, and these take a lot of skill to be mastered. Not having to worry about how hard you hit the pedals makes room for really awesome techniques and sounds that would just be next to impossible to do otherwise.
(But of course, I'm just a sucker for a certain level of percussive violence in my music)

Varoa: I completely understand Fenrir's argument about Barker, although I disagree (I do like the drum sound in the last 2 albums and how it accompanies the music overall) but I don't understand what you're getting at about him being 'lazy' now. Please explain.
Also, you say he takes advantage of the triggers.. well if he chooses to use them then they're there to be taken advantage of.. otherwise ..why use 'em?
And lastly, I'm not arguing that he's a drum-god or the best at it.. but would you honestly say that the drummer of ..blink 18whateverthefuck, or korn, or even Lar$ Ulrich.. are more talented than Barker? If anything, in the overall scope of things, they are some of the people who are truly overrated.

And on a side note I do agree that drummers like Arch Enemy's, CoB's and some of the lesser known extreme metal bands', like those pointed out by fenrir, need a bit more recognition.
In my opinion, it is drummers like those of Pantera and the such (more famous 'classic' bands) who are overrated and fail to compare in sheer talent.

1 - He is being lazy by not giving it his all if u listen to his stuff on Cradle Of Filth its way better, so you should exspect alot more from him, he is not giving it his all on Dimmu Borgir.

2-He takes advantage of the triggers by jacking up the amps that the triggers a plugged into so he barely has to touch the drums to get a pretty decent volume.

3-NO lars ulrich or travis barker there are probably, at least in my mind, the mostover rated drummers everywhere. Nicks drumming cradle if very notable but dimmu borgir, why bother. If you want to listen to a drum god Download Neil Peart - Drum Solo , its 8:11, Peart is God.
