Drums

Nu metal drumming often consists of hip hop, funk, and heavy metal influences. Double bass drumming isn't very common in the style with Slipknot and Ill Nino being notable exceptions. But unlike the long passages of double bass that death metal and black metal drummers utilize, nu metal drummers use double bass in "stop-go" bursts. System of a Down and Soulfly have also integrated Middle Eastern and tribal music in their styles respectively.
