Although Derek is by no means the originator of the blast beat, he is one of its biggest pioneers and educators, propelling blast beat drumming to the forefront of modern playing in ways no other extreme drummer has done before him. Outside of his career as a performer, Derek broke new ground as a music educator in 2006 when he released his instructional book, The Evolution of Blast Beats. The book was the first of its kind, documenting the history and composition of extreme drumming. In 2009, he teamed up with Hudson Music to release an instructional DVD titled, Blast Beats Evolved. Derek has also become one of todays most popular clinicians performing for audiences all over the world.
