Derek Roddy...
While capable of playing many instruments and styles, Derek is most widely known as a phenomenal drummer in the Death Metal community having performed with such bands as: Hate Eternal, Malevolent Creation, Nile, Divine Empire, Aurora Borealis and Council Of The Fallen.
This is, however not the extent of his talent. Derek is an avid drummer of any style and has performed as a strictly Jazz, Blues, Rock and nearly anything else musician.
Derek is well known in death metal communities for his extreme speed and endurance, that is to say, not only is he one of the fastest drummers alive but he can also keep up his astonishing speed for minutes at a time. He is also unique in that he's begun to receive critical acclaim for his playing and musical approach outside of the death metal community, receiving name checks and interest from many notables in the broader world of drumming.
In recent years, Derek's playing has also taken on new levels of finesse, control and experimentation. Such musical maturity can be heard on I, Monarch; his most recent recorded performance with death metal giants Hate Eternal. As one drummer put it -"If you threw Dave Weckl and Pete Sandoval in a blender; Derek would be the phenomenal new concoction!"
Derek is widely known among other death metal drummers for one-footing his blast beats, that is, only using one foot for the bass-drum portion of a blast beat. This method is much more difficult because it requires twice the speed, in a single foot, as opposed to half the speed spread over two feet. Roddy is one of a minority of death metal drummers (such as Nile's drummer George Kollias, Morbid Angel's Pete Sandoval and 1349's Frost) who use this technique.
As of March 28 2006 Drummer Derek Roddy has announced his departure from Hate Eternal
