Hardcore Rock and Roll: D-Beats and more | Proxy Earth Episode 001
Originally posted on 13 Sept 2020... mirrored to odysee!
In this video, I spit out some truly unforgiving truths about you how Toni Basil knows more about perfect HC PUNK beats than you do... In this tutorial, I provide some outlines for the do's and don'ts: d-beats, other dynamic fast stuff that sounds cool in rock and roll, and then some truly bone hurting examples, of me illustrating the common misconceptions about playing fast, and pathways of hack shortcuts that should never be traversed. With that, a metaphor: There are rules in basketball, and that's what makes a slam dunk interesting.
Disclaimer: I still don't know how to do double kick pedals, and I never want to learn.
Lately, I've been playing my newly acquired, Made in Germany Sonor Force from '91, and my snare is a copy of the Sonor "Phil Rudd" Signature Snare that actually once belonged to Grant Hart from Hüsker Dü. Some Istanbul stuff. Some Zildjan stuff. I do 14"HH's, 20"crash, 21"? crash, 22" ride, a Z-bell thing, and the JoJo Mayer Kick Pedal by Sonor (yes, it's still slick).
Audio (some videos) used in this: Discharge, Poison Idea, Toni Basil, Out Cold, with my very special co-host, Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) from the Walking Dead.
After I've received several requests of "Hey Ira, you should make a video tutorial about d-beats and hardcore beats or whatever", and some people gave me the really horrible idea of starting a podcast type thing... So I'd like to say thanks for the inspiration. Y'all are why this video exists. I hope this poorly shot garbage with light fixtures I got for like $12 at Menards helps you along your way. Thanks for the requests.
Questions? Other requests? IDK yall know what to do. Go listen to Totalitär
This clip covers some deeper material in the middle of my upcoming film "THE SATIATION OF IMPULSE", as a means to make sense outta coin flips and the polarization of dualistic ideology. Hope this helps anyone in the world out there better understand these concepts.
To digest and get the wheels turning on some substantial context, my new full length film "BEYOND GOOD AND EVIL" is available now, free to the public from my works at PROXY EARTH SUBSTACK.

I sing in this hardcore band. This is a recording from July of 2019. Lyrics included in video.
Stick around after the song for some bonus material.
The key to the lock in the door hides in plain sight. Can you see what's right in front of you?
Figure it out for yourself, it's up to YOU to step through the door. Use your perceived enemy to defeat the real opponent
When playing chess, where's the best place for an opponent to hide?
"The greatest enemy will hide in the last place you would ever look."
Julius Caesar, 75 BC

John Thor's film is just excellent. I highly recommend it. Cut and dry, it was just the relief that I was looking for.
I made him a trailer for his video essay as a preview for my upcoming film titled "Beyond Good and Evil".
Here is a link to his film "Empty Hospitals and Dancing Nurses": https://odysee.com/@JohnThor:0/new:55?r=3fDzLGZq8K4z7M1SQLuxznuFjPTyubgg
