Derek Roddy named as next Today Is The Day drummer[views:22791][posts:50]_______________________________________ [Dec 15,2006 12:01pm - the_reverend ""] Derek Roddy Named As Next Today Is The Day Drummer Today Is The Day frontman Steve Austin proudly announces the next Today Is The Day drummer: Derek Roddy. Derek Roddy is renowned by musicians and music fans worldwide for pushing the art of drumming to new heights. Best known for his work with Death Metal bands such as Hate Eternal, Nile, and Malevolent Creation, Roddy's astonishing speed and finesse have won him international acclaim. He currently endorses Sonor Drums, Sabian Cymbals, Axis Pedals, Remo Heads, and Vater Sticks. Roddy joins a long legacy of great drummers to occupy the Today Is The Day drum throne, including such heavyweights as Brad Elrod (the band's wildly unique original drummer), Brann Dailor (who would go on to form Mastodon), and Marshall Kilpatrick (currently of The Esoteric). Roddy will make his Today Is The Day recording debut on the band's eighth studio album, "Axis Of Eden". Recording is planned for February 2007 at Steve Austin's own studio, Austin Enterprise, in Nashville, TN. "Axis Of Eden" will be released on Austin's own label, SuperNova Records, later in the year. http://www.supernovarecords.net http://www.derekroddy.com |

| _______________________________________ [Dec 15,2006 12:29pm - GoatCatalyst ""] Steve Austin and bassist Chris Debari are two of my favorite people from my Skate The Planet days. I mourn that I hardly see either of them. |

| _____________________________________ [Dec 15,2006 3:22pm - mOe @ work ""] umm, logic how often does TITD tour? how often does HE tour and what size tours does HE get when they tour...anyone whos anyway knows that bands like those two make their money on the road if they make it at all odds are he'll just record |

How long was Gillis in TITAD? A year maybe? During that year he toured the states twice plus Europe, plus Japan. And they usually tour on their own. HE is usually an opening act on a package tour and you make just enough to survive touring like that. I would bet that TITD outdraws HE too. Steve has some serious hardcore fucking fans. HE is just another death metal band. |

| _____________________________________ [Dec 15,2006 4:02pm - mOe @ work ""] yea, thats why i'm taking theory at this college i work at now because its free and i wanna do session work when i get old...in like 5 years haha |
| _____________________________________ [Dec 15,2006 4:12pm - Josh_Martin ""] They had to pay for their own Europe tour? Seriously?? It actually cost them money to go over there?? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
| __________________________________________ [Dec 15,2006 4:16pm - thegreatspaldino ""] well im not sure about specifics... i just remember reading his official statement saying that he had to pay out of his own pocket for touring... what tours exactly? no idea... i was just stating that having to pay for even like 3% of a european tour would be expensive. |

| _____________________________________ [Dec 15,2006 4:31pm - Josh_Martin ""] It just cracks me up everytime I read about some "serious" band that makes waaay less money than AC does. |
| _____________________________________ [Dec 15,2006 4:36pm - badsneakers ""] haha.. |
| ____________________________________________________ [Dec 15,2006 5:14pm - menstrual_sweatpants_disco ""] Roddy is good. ....but he's no John Gillis. |

CWAF and KA will be back next year. Hey Josh, we're finally covering something from the first Brutal Truth album! |
| _____________________________________________ [Dec 15,2006 10:31pm - ConquerTheBaphomet ""] This is going to be very good, I have a strong feeling. |
| ______________________________________________ [Dec 15,2006 11:48pm - DrinkHardThrashHard ""] Isn't this guy in a bunch of projects, or is he just exclusive now with TiTD. Either way, he's a great drummer and hopefully he'll help Steve achieve what he's after. Didn't realize he had moved back to TN. |
| _____________________________________________ [Dec 16,2006 12:06am - ConquerTheBaphomet ""] I think you might be thinking of Kevin Talley. |
| ______________________________________________ [Dec 16,2006 12:14am - DrinkHardThrashHard ""] Nah I thought Roddy was in a bunch too. I guess they were all at different times. |
| _____________________________________________ [Dec 16,2006 12:55am - ConquerTheBaphomet ""] Yea, you're right. They are very much in demand as far as studio drummers. |
| _______________________________________ [Dec 17,2006 11:34am - brownundies1 ""] derek roddy has bills to pay obviously. |
| _____________________________________ [Dec 17,2006 9:48pm - xanonymousx ""] [img] that kit is crazy |

I believe Sabian and Zildjian buy their blanks from the same company. So you should be saying Zildjian and Sabian are garbage (because its true), unless your endorsed then they're the best. |
| _________________________________ [Dec 18,2006 2:24pm - anthony ""] I've heard a ton of great sounding Sabian and Zildjian cymbals. |
| _______________________________ [Dec 18,2006 3:33pm - Mess ""] snobs |
| ______________________________________ [Dec 18,2006 3:57pm - brownundies1 ""] first off i was talking about the cast series of zildjain vs. the cast series of sabian. that means we are talking, a customs, z customs and k customs, among others. you think derek roddy uses cymbals that come from sheet? give me a break dood! + i think you are highly mistaken when you say sabian and zildjian get their sheet metal from the same places. thats just a wives tale. take it from somone who knows first hand. |
| _______________________________ [Dec 18,2006 4:36pm - Mess ""] yeah MAN! |
