Yup, one of the most common rudiments in modern drum corps. [img]wink.gif[/img]
I was showing this lick to a few drummer friends and the one with a big drum corp background goes, "Yeah, of course, flam drags!" He then proceeded to whip off the lick in no time. I too, always thought of them as some sort of swiss triplet thing but I guess the correct label would be "flam drag." However, no alternating! Check out rudimental wizard John Wooten at the Vic Firth site:

It's not a dragged Swiss Triplet , the sticking is reversed on the flams. A dragged Swiss Triplet can't be played as fast as a non-alternating flam drag (which is correct).
I still think my most favorite use of the blushda that is so over the top crazy you just have to laugh is with modified "Tony" ending:
blush-da blush-da blu blu blush-da blush-da blu blu blublu-kshhhhh blublu-kshhhhh blublu-kshhhh

A google search reveals the Blushda in Russia, and our own Klem (I think) spreading the Blush-Love here (in Dutch?). More Dutch Love here. Some Netherlands Blushda Love also.
They call me a geek on the offical Meshuggah Forums (although someone comes to my defense wich was nice). According to the PlanetX Forum the blushda video is an Osacar contender. The blushda also representing on the Pollution Free Environment For Christian Youth. And of course you're not legit unless you're on the DrummerWorld Forum.
Don't fret Steve, everyone of us who hangs at a drum site is a certified drum geek. You are not alone, my friend.
Can someone post a recording of Tony playing the Blush-da? I'd love to hear it from the source!
haha, was that your first time posting on the messhugah board steve?
I bet they were like omg its Steve Holmes...is it really him? Haha plus that guy who killed you a geee must have been like [img]graemlins/shhh.gif[/img]
Now, if you did for some reason go for those sub topic things in the new forum, "blushda abuse subforum" would be a worthy candidate. Infact, perhaps we shud have a whole new forum dedicated to it? www.theblushda.com
Someones, by which i mean steve obviously, has got to.
A sort of shrine, a phrase to unite all drummers, no matter where they live, who they think is rubbish, surely the blushda could bring unity to the drumming galaxy? Use the blushda luke, use the blushda.
No, i am your father, (insert irritating thomas lang on a wood block with his foot clicky clicky noise).
Maybe thats why steve makes it sound so cool, and can play it so fast, its got nothing to do with the hours of practice, its because hes got a robotic hand.
