THEMATA - Karnivool Drum Cover

[ReeceCoyle92]

Amazing job dude! Digin This!

[woomph]

Good, seriously seriously good! Well done.

[TheFe3]

My word..

Your amazing here.. and yet your even better now.. seriously loving the UMBRA cover..

[Drumpro712]

@TheFe3 Thanks mate, I really appreciate it :) I think you have mistaken me for someone else with the Umbra cover, I haven't done that one! haha, I plan to though. Very soon. If you're interested in more of my stuff, feel free to check out my band's facebook, we're called The Scenic Road

[TheFe3]

@Drumpro712 Awkward... I meant the Goliath cover. oooops... But yes. you should do umbra..

[nextinline777]

I get that too.. Because of the increase of human population we're all being squeezed close together soo you cant fucking have a bash without next door being in mind. Fucking rediculious... But they cant doo fuck all about it. And holding back whilst playing drums.. then theres not much point in playing all together. Fuck them... Im sure they can go out somewhere for an hour(:

[85Aheadstix]

Geez, this kid must practice this song like 14 hours a day!.

[residue102]

Oh that's great man. Now where's the ones you wrote? Original songs?

This cover really shows how long you've been practicing for and that you started young. Very proud for that.

[zachary664]

love how he looks like he isnt even trying :)

[thecornster]

i noticed you got 7 dislikes on this video! WTF!! WHY!!!! i'm thinking of covering this, and after listening to the song and watching this, i realise its gonna be a bigger job than i thought, so well done my friend, i thought it was a great cover!!

[jrn1984]

are u karnivool drummers family?

[Drumpro712]

@jrn1984 if only...

[llEpidemicll]

Dude, you're a fucking amazing drummer, keep it up! You'll go places.

[Mugenloo]

Ohhh and amazing cover, you got skills, shame the mic is getting raped so much haha :P

[Mugenloo]

I dont get complaining neighbours, I used to get it when I played my acoustic kit. I mean people are clearly training to become musicians. How much of a fucking prick do you have to be to complain about that? Only valid complaint is if you're playing at a stupid time of the day.

[corea82]

you rule ! awesome cover.

[ebbo5150]

AMAZING!!!!!!!

[Hjortkayre]

The sounds a bit muddy, but other than that, good cover.

[adXok]

Nevertheless the bad room acoustics... man you've got the groove! :)

[nastycunt666]

sounds like noise if you dont know the song youre an awesome drummer but sound issues are letting you down bro

[bensuptut1]

fucking sick dude

[0o0o0o0oPHIL0o0o0o0o]

that was sick, all there is to say

[foshizmaniz21]

Dude well done! just a thought, i reckon you'd be able to get a bigger and more powerful sound if you pulled your seat up higher, angled your toms up a bit, and brought the cymbals below shoulder height, that was you can work on your dexterity around the kit. just a thought, it's also much more comfortable to play as well!

[Drumpro712]

@foshizmaniz21 yeah too true man, i've done that only recently and it really helps :)

[ivanNZL]

man this is really good.. you look quite young too so yeah well done. wish i could play karnivool songs haha.

[Gibson1423]

my only advice is to get drum mics

[znoahmarhoadskill]

definitely really good, just a little messy. maybe tighten it up a little. it's probably partially the recording though. awesome job.

[engeladam409]

Good Job. however...

Strong piece of advise:

Never sacrafice accuracy and efficiency for stick tricks.

As a result (and this happened numerous times in this video) you missed cues

and came in a semiquaver late. Not cool.

Once you're entirely comfrotable with what you're playing, then you can start thinking about you're own tricks and whatever...

You still ripped it though. Cheers.

[GeorgePougasJR]

Nice drumming dude....Well done!!!!keep drumming and you ll be great!!

[pyrusFTSC]

love that little fill at 321. sick cunt!

[AonSwift]

dude brilliant cover!!! but you need to tune those toms up.... way to flat, especially if you do play more jazz then metal... :P

[NiteShok]

awesome work man

[xfighterfan]

Is the Kit a Protone?

[AcidRain64]

God DAMN dude! I'm barely 2 minute in and I'm already impressed! Well done, mate! BTW I'm both a Karnivool and Dead Letter Circus fan too haha.. I laughed when I realized your shirt :-D

[LeonKechayas]

nice player...

i see one of your paiste cymbals must of had a crack in it because there is a cut out in it...

[biglawso]

Neighbours fail, shouldn't be complaining when you can play like this, they should be priviledged to hear good drumming

[m1key555]

awesome cover :D i play electric guitar and will put a cover up soon, but this is awesome.

[TheFourex]

That little tricky bit with the stick at 3:59 was great. (clearly im no drummer) but love karnivool and that was great to watch.

[Supertax2]

nicely done man! I rarely see a cover that is so accurate. It really gives some more insight in the drums of this song. Nice effort!

[mapexlb]

@Drumpro712 if you were playing a soft jazz song that is different but you're playing a heavy rock song, I could give you a list of drummers who have solid focused attack when they play, I don't wanna fill up you're comments so i'll PM you.

[mapexlb]

@Drumpro712 your setup is good, toms,cymbals and kick seem setup fine. Your technique looks good too just focus on power, you don't really need to change anything at all but when you go to hit a drum/cymbal focus on putting more and more power into every single stroke.

[GettingPissedMan]

@mapexlb

dude, his form is amazing, this kid is a prodigy, he requires no criticism xD

you're awesome dude, keep drumming dude, how old are you?

[mapexlb]

good job man, I would worry less about doing stick tricks and really get you're technique nailed before doing any tricks but still it was solid for you're age. I would focus on putting alot more power into your hands and feet.

[FlangeMcGee]

Nice Chops mate, killer track to cover, good form

[captainarctic]

wow great job, might get a better sound out of the drums if was in a room with better acoustics but other than that awesome job, I'm doing this song on guitar for my HSC hopefully my drummer does as good a job as you haha.

[Mattbellmay]

Love this band to pieces. You did them Justice, very slick cover ;-)

[masterbrosef]

sick cover man. I have the Same problem too, most are my neighbors are good with me playing drums but one couple always complain, i just tell them to deal with it. so should you.

[eMath13]

wow²

[deanadee1966]

So cool. I'm learning to play the drums and can only hope I'll be as good. Awesome!

[tfaFreedom]

your a mad little drummer!!! well done!!!!!

[FullDiesel009]

omg... that was awesome man O_o i think you are born to be a drummer :D you are really good at this... good job *thumbs up*

[tevezteveztevez]

freakin great

[giants311]

yeahh dead letter circus niceeeeee

[billyboneswest]

we'll settle this argument on the bus tomorrow.

[billyboneswest]

Awesome drumming, man.

Probably would be better if you came from Westleigh though.

[Drumpro712]

@billyboneswest

houses are too close together in westleigh,

can't make too much noise

[SativaSpark]

flawless your a prodigy, can you cover deadman?

[spicerack150390]

@happyninja42: he is using too many cymbals during the chorus, as 'vool only use the ride, crash and a splash. The acoustics of the room dont help either, they make everything sound a lot more trashy. nice drumming though.

[mundii7777]

cool bud , need to dampin those skins though

[phantomtalon556]

Yeah, even using one of those extendo slappy hands work.

[stooge123454]

i heard the guitarist actually drummed for this song ;

[Rusty2540]

i doubt it

steve judd is a absolutely amazing drummer

[stooge123454]

yeah , steve judd is a amazing drummer with so many different techniques , but when they were recording themata. steve judd wasn't in KARNIVOOL then .

Drew Goddard actually did the recording for themata.

[Rusty2540]

oh wow

i wasnt aware of that

[markofeastfreo]

whatta legend

[joe5552666]

Karnivool are fucking amazing. saw them support Skindred at sheffield UK a few months back and cant get em out of my head. Bought both their albums at the gig and iv found a few EP's on the net. these guys are amazing. get back oveer here!! im waiting!

[thatchavsatw]

:O skindred AND karnivool?? there like 2 of my fav bands, COULD THAT GIG GET ANY BETTER?!?!

[Agatsu13]

Very nicely done, using you as a reference to learn some of the 'vool. Good stuff.

[wikeddrummerboy]

nice wats ur mini china?

sounds awesome?

[Vool5]

something's wrong with this room's acoustic!

But great cover!

[happyninja42]

first off. well done sir. question though. i hear a LOT of symbols in your recording..but they don't seem that predominant in the recording on the album...is it just the acoustics of your room? or is Karnivool using some..i don't know...muffled symbols? it just seems more subdued when they play it...keep up the beat though! :) well done indeed.

[lpkustom]

Thats the shit rite there!!! Awesome bro. Love the shirt too!!! DLC and Karnivool doesn't get much better!

[shycatstudios]

nice kit

[vegoado]

nice drumming dude. anyone who bags you out is just trying to bring you down cause theyre a try hard. 5:10-5:18 thats the shit right there. ride the china.

[GrantLovesMusic]

Nice shirt btw :P

[BlacknWhiteCheckered]

yo mic your drum up next time and then put it strait into your comp or board then ull get a really good sound out of it.

[KillswitchEngage10]

fuck yeh man thats the shit rite there!

[nonut5]

cool

[bishshred]

PRETTY GOOD MAN! how long have ya been playing! that is really sweet! Karnivool rocks!

[coolguy0204]

nice

[Apax890]

i dont know if its the bad sound quality, but your playing sounds untight as hell to me. no offense, but i think your skills need some more work.

[sta0005]

You obviously don't listen to much Karnivool.

[Apax890]

what does that have to do with anything? im familiar with vool, but thats no requirement to realize hits being off time or other inaccuracies in his playing.

[TazorAchilles303]

Awesome cover, but ur kit sounds off, its probably the mics, i get the same excact problem, thats y i dont post on youtube, coz they sound shite and i cbf fawkin out the money for mics when my crashes break every two months!

[ned2one]

Your bassdrum sounds terrible, but brilliant cover dude!!! I wanna do a cover of Karni but I can't be arsed learning and going though the troubles of making sure the music syncs up with the drums... lol

[ausibananas]

nice, keep it up

[stfanani]

man, fuck ur neighbours, if ur playing at reasonable hours then there is nothing they can do, just keep playing on that kit and wait for them to move, if they come ova and whinge, just slam the door in their faces

[standards0]

SICK SONG SICK  DRUM PLAYER!

u aussie bro?

[Drumpro712]

thanks man

yeah, sydney

[drumsforhands]

those dents on your heads are from not being tuned properly

[MCKiran]

DEAD LETTER CIRCUS ROCK!

so do karnivool of course. both in my top 5 favourite bands of all time. also, i was hoping you'd do the fill at 4:17 that many of the other covers leave out. great job.

[zarco014]

holy shit...nice cover and awesome drum set

[TheMattPenner]

hey man great job, I can totally relate about the neighbor thing it sucks but there is always one dickhead on the block! if you got the time check out my vids please do so, have you had lessons or self tought?

[Drumpro712]

josh

[meusicalentall27]

I say fuck the neighbours! If you dont play 24/7 then they should respect your passion. If I were your neighbour, id live at your house to listen!

[ebbo5150]

mate, you give me ALOT of encouragement to keep practicing harder and harder.

thanks mate

[Drumpro712]

[swoboda1]

[Drumpro712]

[Chimaira811]

Great job dude yeah your toms and base need some tunning.... your stick flicks look mad but when u throw em up u look like a tool.. But great vid!! :)

[Drumpro712]

hey man, thanks heaps

yeah i think that was a year ago, i tuned all my drums up for the new videos iv put up - bought new skins too.

lol duno about the looking like a tool part tho... i mean, i don't throw them up for any other reason other than the fact that its a habit and its fun :P

josh

[bluenova159]

good job i noticed at the start you twirled you left drumstick before you hit the symbol wish i could do that...again good job sounds very good

[grindcoredj]

Hey, you are cool, man!

KEEP ROCKIN'! (rock)

[dfurnaridrummer]

great drumming but tom and kick need serious tuning and maybe head replacements?

[beaugcummins]

Dude u are damn good....where abouts are you and are u in a band?!

[dusty42482]

Nice job.....you kick sounds like ass though man. Sounds like it need some tuning adjustments

[SnowdemonX]

Nice work dude

[Xygon4EVA]

Awesome work. I don't know if I'm more jealous of your skills or your drum kit.

Loving the Karnivool, really hoping their new album comes soon

[ncardw09]

gibraltar kicks? yeah i have the same

[Drumpro712]

haha nah man

DW 4000's :P

[ncardw09]

they sound wicked... whats the spring like? whats the ride on the far right?

[Drumpro712]

haha well, ther cheap and the spring is different on both pedals :S

but they do the job anyway :P

the ride on the far right is sabian but i couldn't find any specifics on it - i bought it from a friend

hope that help :)

[GrungeRockGod]

Jesus tits, impressive dude. Keep at it!

[SubbieXero]

Nicely done bro. Tbh your neighbours need to learn to pull their fingers out of their ass and respect talent.

[manziejay]

That was really good dude, nice video.

[Rusty2540]

i dont think you have enough splash cymbals

lol

[laurent080882]

[thegreatbungholio707]

[sweltch]

im a huge karnivool fan, seen them a million and one times, drum a few covers myself.

good to see im not the only one out there haha

awesome work man

[dfurnaridrummer]

sick playing

i love ur taste in tunes - karnvool, bb, mad stuff

look at different tom n bass sounds

what hi hats u use? they sound mad

[s4t666]

dude nice set

[quicksilvia7]

Awesome song and cover!

But one thing is getting to me due to the huge difference that could be made. the sound of your kit!!! its a nice kit but, i would spend the $30 on remo rings. IMO it would sound so much better, oh yeah, id pad up the bass drum a little more. Thats just me though. its your kit and you may like it like that.

[Drumpro712]

no no thanks for the advice. im in need of some good advice regarding drum sound its just that i don't get much of a chance to use them so bah

but yeah thanks il definetly take that into account

josh

[caddsmiester]

keep it up

awsome!

:D

[jboysixphD]

awesome mate - loved it!

[mafuhungy]

fucking amazing i swear to god themata is one of the best songs ever written and you do it serious justice. possibly one of the next big musicians to come out of oz?

[IsleProductions]

for sure mate, this guy is so natural on the drums..he's gonna go big in oz

[Marto1321]

Birds of tokyo, karnivool and Dead letter circus (i have that shirt:P) are the best aussie bands going well done goood covers here and all others congrats man, if DLC needs a new drummer you have my vote(Y)

[Drumpro712]

[MurphFevJudd]

oh ok sweet. I live in canberra. You can't buy shit in canberra if it's involving drums lol.

[MurphFevJudd]

[Drumpro712]

haha yea i live in sydney... australia

[MurphFevJudd]

oh ok nice. Ive got a decent kit but my cymbals sound like shit and Ive been trying to look for some good ones. keep up the good work. Have you tried doin some Bullet For My Valentine covers??

[Drumpro712]

ah sweet

yea im looking to get a paiste 2002 crash coz mines not that great, i suggest buying cymbals from that series, paiste 2002... great cymbals

anyway umm no i havnt really, im not into screamo that much i much prefer proggressive sorta stuff and alternative stuff.

josh

[MurphFevJudd]

Hey man. Nice work on this song. What cymbols have you got on that kit??

[Drumpro712]

Very very good one! Great Timing!

[blackdog199]

im assuming ur into Tool?

if not get some of their stuff- u will love and hate danny carey :D ahha

[Drumpro712]

haha i know wot u mean bout danny carey ay hes so good

i havnt listened to much of tool man but i like sum of ther stuff

i guta get into them

josh

[grinslop]

but pearl drummer the mix he is playing at now would sound good micked up

[pearldrummer8666]

P.S. Is that a session custom? I have amarine Blue Fade Session Custom, and those look like the same drum logo's on it.

[Drumpro712]

yea man thats a session custom cranberry fade

[pearldrummer8666]

I guess the other thing I would say would be to think about your mix when you play. When you ride your crash, you're really riding it hard, and that drowns out your snare accents and kicks. If you would lighten up on the open hats and your crashes, it'd also sound a lot tighter, because your kick and snare would be more pronounced and tight. Good job!

[pearldrummer8666]

Mk, so I don't think I saw anyone post about this yet. Awesome cove, btw, amazing.

But your bass head sounds like its really loose, and so does your snare head/snares. And personally, I'd look into a couple of moongels or putting newspaper in your toms (Just like a little bit) and tha'll dampen them perfectly. I'd tighten that up and your sound will be 100% cleaner and tighter.

[Drumpro712]

yea thanks for the advice

the thing is i took all these drum vids b4 i got drum mics and i like never use this kit coz im not aloud on account of the winging neigbours :[ the quality of the video cameras mic was reaally bad so i didnt bother really tuning the drums but i got mics now so my next vid i will tune everythin properly. thanks again!

[tle123rox]

hey man great but when u use the ride hit the centre

[prodrummer911]

Yeah, this guy is pretty good...

Lucky me I go 2 his school!

[Drumpro712]

whos this then?

[lachy793]

hey what pedals do you use?

[Drumpro712]

hey man

i use DW 400 pedals

[lachy793]

yeah i thought they were dw's coz of the beaters. not a bad setup by any means, you just need another crash and maybe a better china and it will be mad lol. when i get my splashes and china i'm putting up a cover of themata and cote.. such good songs, i cant wait for their new cd
