hey everybody welcome back and today I'm gonna show you how to play the Dirk
blasts beat let's get into it shall we the Dirk blast is simple but it's really
hard to attain fast speeds as it requires a lot of practice but I'm gonna
break it down and show you exactly how you get to that point so you want to
start off with an eighth note triplet it sounds like this pretty simple and then
you add a flam in between each downbeat

maybe how to blast beat please feel free to hit that subscribe button if you
already haven't consider doing so now back to the lesson alright so that's the
premise and the basic of it and what's happening next is he's placing it and
displacing it between two different sound sources so it's going to sound
like a consistent eighth note triplet feel and the other sound source he
incorporates into this pattern is the hi-hats
so you sell them something like this playing the same pattern so all you're
playing is eighth note triplets between your feet so if you were to do just a
snare pattern and the kick pattern both together before you try and do the
crossover thing it's going to sound something like this so if you want to
take it slower you can go between both crash cymbals and you could do some like
really cool-looking stuff if you really want to show off for your friends or
that girl you're trying to hook up with
just don't play like that otherwise you won't get any
let's take that same idea and speed it up I'm gonna slow it down here so you
can see exactly what's happening basically I'm doing like acrobatics with
my stick so that they don't hit each other but in reality it's pretty simple
as long as you've locked in your feet with the playing it shouldn't be a
problem to stay on time now a good helper with that is the high hats as
they help you keep on the quarter note downbeat now I hope this slow down video
helps you with that remember to keep in mind to start off slow and then speed
your way up to a success it doesn't happen overnight it might take you three
weeks it might take you three months this is a flam accent it is not a flam
top it is not a Swiss Army triplet I just wanted to clear that up as I've
seen some previous comments on a video about it once again thanks so much I'm
Cameron and I'll see you on the next one
you
