And The Beat Blasts On
Metal and theory may not always be the best of friends, but understanding the structures behind one of the most aggressive styles of music is still worthwhile, and besides, their techniques have the coolest names. Blast beats are an incredibly frantic, chaotic, and most of all loud playing style that metal drummers use to create extreme intensity, heaviness, and power, and it turns out that, over the decades, they've come up with some pretty cool variations. There's a lot more going on in a blast beat than you might expect.
