Programming this beat

[Ihsahn1981]

Hi.


I thought this was a very interesting variant of a blastbeat.

Starts at 00:12

Anyone have any idea about exactly what he is doing and how to program it?

That's just a normal blastbeat of one variation (there are several types of blastbeats), from what you can tell from the poor sound quality.

Kick: 32nd notes
Snare: 16th notes
Cymbals: 8th notes

Sounds to me like alternating 16th notes on the snare and hats, with the snare on the down beats. Can't hear the kick worth shit.

Lots of dynamics are what you need to make this sound realistic. Pretty much every other snare hit is going to be quieter.
