Do any of you play them in your style of music you play?

I found this from Tiger Bill

Blast beats are basically rapid alternating strokes between the snare and the bass drum and the hi-hat usually played with the bass drum. I think they're pretty cool to really dominate a song or create a forceful climax if they're played right. It's basically a wall of sound so it'd be more appropriate for styles like metal and heavy rock.

I'm in a pretty heavy punk band at the mo, so I'm having a lot of fun getting to know these beats. Check us out at www.myspace.com/atfault
