The Top 9 Double Bass Drum Players and Songs


I was recently reading an inspired blog post about dying with a cactus and got to thinking about blogs and music. And then after settling another unrelated argument about music I thought about making a blog post about it.

But- you know what? I realized I didn't have my post in list form. People these days only read your blogs if you have a list, preferably in the form of a top 5 or top 10.

So, without further ado, here's my

Top 9 Double Bass Drum Songs and/or Drummers.

Why top 9? Because that's 3 triplets mofugga!
Now go practice your paradiddles

#9 Lars - Metallica - One
although I'm tempted to not link anything related to Metallica
Arrrrr mp3 baddddddd

There may be better examples (Leper Messiah, etc.. .), but One always stands out (stands out for it's crappy production too)

#8 Niko McBain - Iron Maiden
The dude's so badass he only needs one pedal to outplay most of the double-pedal users. (this probably isn't the best example either)

... there's more to read here ...

Pretty Cool CCTV Story

The Get Out Clause, an unsigned Manchester band who could not afford a camera crew for their video, 'performed' in front of a load of CCTV cameras, requested the footage from the camera operators under the Data Protection Act and then stitched the results together for their music video.
