Derek Roddy: Blast Beats Evolved Now Available For Pre-Order!

Submitted by King on Thu, 11/05/2009 - 16:51

“I made this DVD because the development of extreme drumming has never been fully documented or, given its popularity and influence, received the attention and respect it deserves. I wanted to validate this style of drumming—and the drummers who play it—by creating an educational reference that would lead to a better understanding of blast beats and their musical value while standardizing their notation and technical attributes. Simply, my goal was to make the blast beat a ‘household’ beat.” — Derek Roddy
