Former Slipknot drummer and current Vimic and Sinsaenum, Joey Jordison, in a recent interview with Drumtalk spoke about what he thinks is a common mistake among rock and metal drummers. Here is an extract below:
"The simplest times, those where rock was founded or any other music, can also be the hardest to play, because it's not exactly easy to keep a 4/4 for one that has always wanted to play fast.
If they are not fast, then they are not good drummers, my advice is always to improve your time as much as possible and focus on simple times, and from there develop your skills Trying to go fast immediately is not the best way to learn, because It's not easy to progress when you do not have the right base, I started from the ground up and then I went up, I did it and it worked for me.
