Heavy
Hard Rock
I grew up listening to The Beatles in the early seventies. After that I
was a young soul without a home, listening to whatever was on the ra-
dio, but I never found "my thing". Then, when I was sixteen, someone
gave me a black album from a band I'd never heard of, and I was just
blown away by the intro of "Hells bells" starting up their album "Back
in black". Yep, I became a hardrocker!! So here you have some steady
and heavy drums for anyone with Angus-ambitions!! JS
* Grunge
Nirvana, Mudhoney, Melvins... I think this list wouldn't get an end. The
Music Industry calls them Grunge. So, preheat your amp, strap your
guitar, aim at the F# power-chord and press the "Run"-button for this
style. MS
* HM Straight
HM Straight and HM Triplets are based on the European style of
Heavy Metal with a lot of double bass pedal work as well as some of
my own chops from the albums/bands I played in, such as the albums
"Beware the heavens" by Sinergy and "Sign Of truth" and "Anima
Mundi" by Dionysus. The triplet rolls were inspired by the one and only
Scott Travis, especially from the time before Judas Priest when he
played with Paul Gilbert in Razor X. The Razor X song "Scarified" is a
milestone in metal with its magnificent drum intro groove and I made a
lot of variations of grooves of this type. The more straight and powerful
grooves were made in the style of Jörg Michael, one of today's most
hired and respected German drummers. RM
* HM Triplets (T)
A triplet based groove with a lot of 3-stroke rolls in the bass drums.
The rolls in particular were inspired by my friend and Brazilian metal
band Angras drummer Aquiles Priester, who developed it to a new
level in modern metal drumming. While touring with Saxon I got the
chance to pick up a drum fill or two which I throw in here and there.
It's from another great drummer and friend, the legendary Fritz Ran-
dow, one of the most technical drummers in European metal. RM
