No offense, but was that a serious reply?

Why would something slow be a blast beat hahaah BLAST(read that world over to yourself) beat. Not, Notblast Beat., or Slow Beat.

 

[Schraiber]

I'm pretty sure it was some punk band. I don't remember what they were called... I'll check.

I know Blast beats were originally a contribution from some Jazz drummers back in the 1960s, forgot which ones though.

I swear Michael Giles played some really fast time live in Krimso back in 1969, as heard in the live box Epitaph.

Yeah, I've heard blasts used in jazz. Saw one band live, they were all old guys, playing some laid back stuff, then the drummer just let rip for about 20 seconds during the guitar solo, it was hilarious, totally not what you'd expect
This was only a few years ago, but yeah, I'd be surprised if blasts were the sole creation of a metal band.

Slaughter (Not the pop metal band), used them in 1985, and earlier in demos...

I've just found the record I was talking about earlier. It's by the band The American Dream and the song is "Cadillac" off their selftitled album! Although not very long (maybe 10 seconds or something) it's a blastbeat alright (more real blastbeat than the one I mentioned by The Yellow Payges). The record doesn't have a date, but I think it's from 1970 or maybe 1971.

10 sec blastbeat ffffft....

[Cimmerian]

I've heard Napalm on Scum, but I'm thinking maybe cryptic slaughter did it first...if i have my dates right

It was Deep Wound in 1982. Actual blast beats anyways.

I read an interview with Danny Lilker and he was asked what was the first recorded blastbeat. the title belongs to D.R.I. . but its only one song of their Dirty Rotten LP which is called " No Sense" and its a true blastbeat. forget about Discharge,Venom , S.O.D. , etc ...

You dug the thread up!

[SuicideMachine]

It was Eric Brecht on the Dirty Rotten LP, D.R.I.'s first album in 1982

^^^ Correct

Too bad he beat you by, like, a year and two months.

How fast does it have to be?

240bpm, 180 bpm, or faster?
