Who created blast beats?

[clamchowder01]

I was just wondering who created blast beats for metal?

 

[Dred]

I did. Would you like to touch me?

 

[Alteredmindeath]

Pete Sandoval of Morbid Angel.

 

[The Emptier]

Mike Smith

it even says on t3h int3webz

 

[SteveAwesome]

Pete Sandoval of Morbid Angel.

[shredtastical]

punk rock!

 

[Corny]

The roots were created by punk rock. Then came Napalm Death and not Morbid Angel.

EDIT: Keep in mind that the first Napalm Death outputs have a very strong punk attitude.

[Chairman Kaga]

Pete Sandoval of Morbid Angel.

Yep, that sums up this thread. [/thread]

 

[vikk]

[Dred]

Edited for accuracy.

The world will never know... According to the interwebz Mike Smith of Suffocation pioneered blast beats in metal, again, the world will never know.

 

[Nerve]

Tony Royster Jr maybe ?

Came gradually in a circle of drummers i suppose.

Not like some drummer said "HAI CHECK DIS OUT GUYZ, I JUST MADE UP" and burned off a blastbeat in 16ths@200bpm.

 

[children of COB]

When George Kollias was born, blast beats just appeared at the world with him.

 

[SteveAwesome]

I still say Morbid Angel. I can't think of a single Venom song with blast beats, and yes, Napalm Death came first, but I think Morbid Angel was the first to really use the blast beats.

Edit: I was wrong. Scum came out two years before Altars of Madness

The Band Death created DM tho and they are aproximately 1000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000x better than Napalm Death (who the fuck want sped up punk) thank fuck Lee Dorian had the sense to leave Napalm Death a start a truly gr8 band (Cathedral)
