    Metallica's The God That Failed: A Great Song For Beginning Baggers

    For my fellow novice baggers who are also Metallica fans, I thought I'd mention that The God That Failed is a great song for honing your timing. It's 4/4, extremely slow (I'm guessing 80 BPM), with all four downbeats heavily accented, and no drumming between the downbeats (at least for most of the song). It's as good as a metronome, and a lot more engaging.

    Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

      Man .... I just wrote a huge response to this. My computer froze. I copied (apple C) my text. Restarted safari. Still wouldn't work. Then I restarted computer... but copied text isn't retained when restarting!
      AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

      So I got all into my favorite Metallica song, "The Thing That Should Not Be", and a whole detailed explanation of how to punch drum to it and those types of tempos. AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

      I ended it all with saying I will try to post a clip this weekend punching to it. Maybe I will try to explain some of what I wrote while filming.

      Anyhow......
      AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

      BAG ON!
      LET THERE BE BAGS!
      VENI, VIDI, BAGGI! (We came , we saw, we bagged!)

        Geez, you guys are gonna start a whole new Rock genre, making "head bangers" into "Bag Bangers".

        Remember "head bangers ball" on MTV during the eighties? Now they could show all metal heads to be "Bag Bangers".

        You better get that bag on your drumset BT. You gotta be the first to start this....

        Rock 'N Roll will never be the same...

                Great.....
                There should be a whole section, a lexicon if you will, devoted solely to Speed Bag Slang called;
                "BAG TAGS" or "BAG SLANG" or something....
                BAG ON!
