[qiqiqo4]

Wow amazing but needs a little polishing :)

[danieleskyline]

3 envious people didn't like that XD

[metalfreaque]

nice one!

[anuraj2201]

is it only me ...or its a lil off timing ???

[funkytyler4321]

Obviously you have seen Gavin live. I saw the incident tour with my dad and Gavin just tore it up man. But I gotta give you props dude. That shit is hard to perfect

[AMLivePT]

Wow

[DrumsofEternity]

how long have you been playing ?

[jackpaice]

wow, you're left-handed... that's just wrong, mate.

[RonINtheBASSMENT]

Good job man, much respect offered here!

[klpinvestments]

great cover, mad drum skills!

[usmcsdi69]

Tough song to cover. Good job man!

[emu69emu]

Serious Respect man!

[J0HNC19]

Nice work on the fills!

[Wonderize]

Bass drum is off a lot, otherwise decent job. Hard song :)

[RianAnimator]

Your drums sounds awesome, how you recorded this?

[PhantomMaster]

@RianAnimator Thanks man! One mic on the bass drum, two mics coming from left and right into the toms and one mic on the snare. The 4 mics go straight into an desk which then goes into my Cubase recording software. I record and mix that then on Cubase, that's about it! =]

[danieleskyline]

Very very very very good performance Barry!

[PhantomMaster]

@danieleskyline Thank you very much! Appreciate it! =]

[Op3thiangr]

Haha feeling blessed for named Wilson :P ?

[PhantomMaster]

@Op3thiangr It'd be better if it was Harrison =]

[Odinsgade]

@PhantomMaster

Barry Harrison?

Sounds very cool and iconic.

Nice playing by the way.

Sounds great. :)

[lumpyandbump1]

Not too great of a kit, however your a fantastic drummer

[DiFrand]

@curlysheepishbas No need to be a smart aleck, I was just complimenting his cover.

[jessietigres]

your good man just start working on technique i notices you open your left hand for doubles which isnt bad but there are much cleaner ways to do doubles

[PhantomMaster]

@jessietigres Ya I do that out of bad habit, I know most people get their doubles goin' without such a loose grip but I kept doing it my way until I got used to it so I'll probably just stick it haha...And cheers, thanks for watching!

[Niekpas]

In how many takes was this done? From one angle you have a lot of duct tape on your snare and from the other you do not.

[PhantomMaster]

@Niekpas Check out my reply to another guy who asked that in the Uploaders Comments section and I explain it!

[DiFrand]

Perfect form and technique, especially during the breakdown! very solid cover, I'm sure Gavin Harrison would be proud if he watched this :)

[Zildjian232]

Hey man, good job. Although the ghost notes are not quit what you were playing in groove.

[PhantomMaster]

@Zildjian232 Thanks man! I thought I got them right but I could never fully make out how frequently they were used or if I missed some here and there

[Shinsen88]

That was extremely impressive! This song is beastly. You rock!

[PhantomMaster]

@Shinsen88 Cheers! Appreciate it!

[chiken420]

Holy shit dude! That seems very difficult but you freakin' nailed it!

[PhantomMaster]

@chiken420 Thanks!! Ya its very tough, took me ages to perfect the groove but luckily once you do its plain sailing from there, just lots of variations to memorize!

[paulgillard7]

I see you aced it just like I said =P Great job man!

[PhantomMaster]

@paulgillard7 Haha, thanks!

[Cosinus02]

omg. OMG. !!!!

yesterday, when i read you were going to upload a porcupine tree cover i thought well that's going to be interesting, but it's certainly not going to be bonnie the cat. that would just be too f***ing difficult.

...

i am not even a drummer myself, but i have soooo much respect for you right now.

GREAT JOB!!!

[PhantomMaster]

@Cosinus02 Wow, thank you so much for that!! I figured if I'm gonna cover a beast like Gavin Harrison it wouldn't be right to find something more simplistic and take the easy option haha, had to go all out!!

[Rolynpwns]

Is your bass drum muffled? If so, how do you muffle it? I'm tired of my bass drum sounding like a big ass floor tom XD

[PhantomMaster]

@Rolynpwns Hmm not sure what you mean, do you mean how do I get that deadened clicky kind of sound without the booming? What I do anyway (but most drummers don't) is stuff the bass drum with a blanket and have no front skin...Plus what I thought helped the natural tone of it is to have a coated bass drum head as opposed to a transparent one, much prefer the sound of it!

[jsusfreak13]

lol i noticed you removed the tape between the two camera angles on your snare. >_< which leads me to ask, do you prefer to dull the snare so much with that tape?

[PhantomMaster]

@jsusfreak13 Haha well spotted! The only reason I had tape on the snare was because I was playing a gig 2 days before where I had to keep ther drums at a low enough level so I taped things up a bit...Much better without the dullness but only noticed (obviously) between angles, haha!

[Foerarn1234]

Very nice cover, pretty awesome song too, i like how the snare is easier to hear on your cover than the actual song, i had to doublecheck first after i heard this cover, and you seem to be having fun doing this song too, always good to enjoy yourself while doing a cover! :D... good job!
