It's been awhile since I've posted a dumb question for the Mighty Hardboard so...
I've heard the term "blast beats" mentioned in several music reviews. What are blast beats?
I have the new Lamb of God CD(an excellent CD by the way) which is purported to contain blast beats. If they are what I think they are, then they're used only sometimes on this CD, and I think too much would be a bad thing.
Do you like blast beats?

I'll let someone else answer that question cause I don't want to explain it improperly and look stupid. |

Really fast beats in extreme metal. Usually all you can hear is the snare going a thousand miles and hour. Think Nile. Is sounds pretty chaotic to me most of the time. |

Blast beats are basically when one hand and one leg are going BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM as fast as they can.
I like them...in moderation. |

God, and for the longest time I thought blast beats were double bass. For shame. Anything I can download to hear a prime example of good blast beat use? |

That's what I thought too. Maybe we all need to retake Metal 101.

I remember reading somewhere that the definition of a blast beat is alternating kick/snare at over 200 bpm.... |
