Prophetic.

Gotta love the *wilhelm at the end there.

Now it's time for siftbot to come and put me in my place.

Definitely at guy holding a sparkly shoe at 0:41. Just in case.

That's pretty cool but I also see another drummer that uses Double Peddle like it's a crutch instead of an asset.


If your talking about the guy in the video, maybe. But the actual drummer certainly only uses the double pedal when it's needed (see single foot blasts), which happens to be most of the time for this kind of music.

To be fair, he is technically cheating.
I don't much care about the repositioning of things, but he's using a double-kick bass pedal.
If he can play this without that, then I'd be absolutely shocked.
Still impressive though.

Not really... I have a double-bass kit made for the game. granted it's not a true double-bass setup like he has, it's just a second pedal with a powered splitter, but still... i wouldn't call it cheating.
and i've been seriously considering making a new snare with a frisbee and positioning it where it's supposed to go on a real kit instead of the far left where it is now... one day i'll get a real electronic drum kit but for now I can play (and record) using the in-game practice mode just as effectively.

Well... it's not cheating in the sense that it's an auto-hit or anything, but it's more cheating in the sense of he's playing the game in a way that it wasn't intended to be played.
My comment is more a response to "Harmonix purposefully makes these songs to keeps fans occupied"
because I guarantee you that if he tried this with just the single foot-pedal he wouldn't be able to make it.
Again, it's still a impressive in its own right.


You're both sort of right. I don't understand how Harmonix decides what bass hits to chart. I would think that they would chart with the right foot in mind, but For all the blast beats (0:56 for example) I've seen in this game, they chart both feet when most drummers alternate right and left, although the Shannon Lucas (Black Dahlia Murder Drummer) is one of the only drummers I know of who only uses one foot for those. Also, In the verse, the fast bass hits in groups of two are really groups of three but instead of charting the right foot hits (1 and 3) they chart the right and left (1 and 2). So it seems that it's charted as a hybrid of both double and single pedal. I'm gonna sift the video of Shannon Lucas doing his magic because I see it hasn't been sifted yet.

Yes they do, and yes they are.

It delivered what it promised.

Now that's wrastlin'.

Ah, so I see you've never curled before. Throw some rocks then get back to me.

Beautiful- and effective. So much better than the shock horror ones they have here is Australia.


We actually watched a bunch of Australian PSA's in my drivers ed course. As realistic as they were it still seemed over the top for the message they were trying to get across. It's like they were appealing more to peoples fears then to their reason.

The whole comment section: tl;dr

Our brain is really amazing to let us perceive stuff like this.

It delivers what it promises.

There are few things that I regret in my life, this is one of them.
