Learn to play like Dave Lombardo, Gene Hoglan, Nick Menza, Charlie Banante, Igor Cavalera, Gar Samuelson, Tom Hunting, Paul Bostaph and many others greats Thrash Metal Drumming uses an organized progression of standard exercises along with transcriptions of great thrash recordings to teach the core concepts behind the original wave of 1980s thrash and the new wave of 2000s thrash. Learn the theory and then see the actual usage in context. Topics covered include: warmups, rock and punk influences, skank beats and related double time, double bass, cymbal chokes, thrash fills, and feel changes. These concepts are accompanied by 32 audio examples and 64 transcriptions of intros, grooves, and fills from '80s legends like Slayer, Anthrax, Overkill, Megadeth, Kreator, Destruction, Nuclear Assault, Dark Angel, Testament, Annihilator, Exodus, and Sepultura, plus '00s new wave names such as Warbringer, Evile, Vektor, Gama Bomb, Havok, Skeletonwitch, Bonded by Blood, Exmortus, Toxic Holocaust, and Municipal Waste Thrash drumming is the foundation for all modern genres of heavy music and the knowledge found in Thrash Metal Drumming can be used verbatim for thrash playing or as a solid base from which to expand to more extreme musical styles. Death metal, black metal, deathcore, metalcore, slam, djent and many other heavy genres trace their drumming heritage directly back to thrash in the 1980s and the skills are directly transferrable. The importance of thrash as an underpinning to all modern heavy drumming cannot be oversold. Also included are tips and advice for: touring, kit setup, tuning and tone, health and safety, and time and metronome markings, plus an abbreviated history of thrash and a list of classic albums for essential listening.
