"A blast beat is a drum beat, primarily used in forms of extreme metal, made with rapid alternating or coinciding strokes primarily on the bass and snare drum."
"Early blast beats were generally quite slow and less precise compared to today's standards."
"Typical blast beats consist of 8th-note patterns between both the bass and snare drum alternately, with the hi-hat or the ride synced."
"There are a number of different types of blast beats and variations within each type that make for a rather large arsenal of rhythmic textures and moods."
"If you need even more speed then try hitting the bass pedal twice in rapid succession."
"Listen to "Overkill" by Motorhead."
"The gravity blast involves playing a basic Euro-blast pattern on the kick and cymbal but using a one-handed roll technique using the snare's rim to create what sounds like a two-handed drum roll with only one hand."
"Make sure you stretch a bit before doing it for long periods of time because your hands might cramp up."
"its the same with blast beats as it is with running, you start out slow to get the technique in and get used to the motion and as you go on you can do it longer and longer and when your at a point where you can do it long (your choice) you can start working a little with speed."
"1. Blast Beats
the coolest drum beat ever created, used primarily in death metal and grind-core."
"Praise and worship the blast beats! They are Gods! and so are the people who play them."
