* Grind
These grooves are kinda busy and made for higher tempos. Notice
how the bass drum uses 8th notes, 8th note triplets and then 16ths in
various modern approaches. These grooves were influenced and
played in the style of The Haunted, Krisiun and Hate Eternal. If you're
a huge fan of brushes, these grooves are not for you! ;-) RM
* Progressive
Here's a rather technical style with a lot of busy fills. "Progressive" is a
mixture of the sound of new progressive styles and some old progres-
sive bands back in the 80s. Certain levels were recorded in various
odd meters and played over a loop of four bars. Don't get lost! MEB
** Three Beat
Let's jog back to the 80's rock arena when both you and your music
were supposed to be muscular yet clean. This beat has a fat kick on
all four beats in the bar but instead of the usual backbeat on the 2&4
the fat snare is on 3, giving this style even more weight. The fat toms
play an important role adding a clean groove. Get a workout. NE
** HM Paradiddle
Joe Franco is the main inspiration behind this style. He was the first
guy to produce instruction books and videos for double bass drum
playing. You can also hear some influence from Tommy Aldridge and
Virgil Donati. In fact, some of the stuff here was actually played by Mr.
Donati himself on a clinic in Sweden. RM
HipHop
Basic Hip-Hop
This style was inspired by early Hip-Hop and the way it sounded in the
early digital drum machine era. LW
