Who actually invented the blast?

[LAVAGOD]

We all know Pete has claimed himself the founder of the blast, yet many people believe Napalm Death was the first band. I read somewhere that Scum has the first recorded blast's (side B was recorded in 1986). There's many mixed opinions and variations of stories we've all heard. But who actually did it first? I would love to hear the first beat ever blasted that started it all

It depends on what you consider blastbeats.

IMO Pete was the first one who did it tightly enough, Scum is just really sloppy.

Yeah, buddy rich. But its generally a toss up between pete and rat, the original napalm death drummer.

This is what I always assumed too.

A more pressing question is: who over-uses the fuck out of it?

[Hugo.]

Buddy Rich also invented the gravity roll.

[jawn galliano]

buddy rich was far too badass for his own good

[Hugo.]

Actually, the worst are that new breed of 'token' blasters. As in "oh people will know we're trying to be N'sync with guitars if we dont have a blasting section here."

Ive whittled my tendancy to do that down to about 50% of the time



BUT I'M DROP A NOW, SO ITS COOL RIGHT?

About 80% of my riffs span 3 strings. Its kind of a novelty then when you chug out something simple. I always used to play in standard, I have to say I like the dynamic of the drop low E.

If you're ever feeling saucy, you should try an open tuning. I've got one of my guitars in Open C and it's stupidly fun.

Was the Zepplin drummer really the first to use double kicks?

as everyone has said, Buddy Rich.

Elvin Jones also did some on some recordings i've got from the 50s. Mostly in during solos.



But as folks said, it's like asking "who invented tapping?"

some dude in the 16 Century on his 10 string acoustic, wearing a wig.

Ginger Baker maybe.

I'm sure I've seen pics form really early 60s of drummer with 2x kicks.

around the area when the 'power-trio' thing was coming into existence.

Tony Williams possibly - but maybe that was early 70s (when fusion came along)
