[Th3MufF1nU8]

Hey, it's Vic, wait no.

[LoveMichael14]

That was amazing.. <3

[HicksUTS]

@LoveMichael14 thankyou so so much :)! x

[johnNapEpb]

this color is almost as nice as mine haha its beautiful what kinda kit is this?

[HicksUTS]

@johnNapEpb haha! it's an animal custom kit - they're a tiny british company! (or atleast they were when i got it - my kit was on the front of their website for about a year after i ordered it!)

[ddm5055]

Single or double bass pedal? Your amazing by the way..

[HicksUTS]

@ddm5055 double - although i have no idea if i used both in this cover haha xx

[sconnor1001]

I first watched this when it only had a few views and I keep coming back to it. You're an awesome drummer. I'd love to see more veil be you dude.

[HicksUTS]

@sconnor1001 ha! thats sick thanks so much man! I really need to do some more covers! Finding time is harddd!

[mypalmoviemaker]

How do you record? sounds great but I don't see individual mics

[HicksUTS]

@mypalmoviemaker i think most of the mics are hidden under the drums on this cover!

[thrasher12345]

What miss are you using and what program are you running it all through?

[HicksUTS]

@thrasher12345 just any old mics i can find in my garage haha! Running through logic! x

[TheRockngrl98]

Your hair was very entertaining to watch if I must say c: And I love this cover, this is THE best out there. Subscirbed, liked, 5 takdlfjalskdijgfsdlkjfhas-llio­n stars.

[HicksUTS]

[mariamariaband]

hey man, can i ask you something? why you tilted the snares. pleaseeeeeeee reply :D

[HicksUTS]

@mariamariaband hey! i had it tilted for along time cause i found it was the only way comfortable to play my kit! I've actually gone back to have it nearly flat now! I change my set up sooo often! x

[monkiflip15]

hey why do you tip your snare that way?

[HicksUTS]

@monkiflip15 hey dude! - err basically i damaged my knee from the way i used to play drums (sitting super low, cause i thought i looked cool haha...), so i had to put my seat up a lot higher which meant it made my wrist hurt to play a flat snare so i tried tilting it away and i actually found it was the easiest way to play drums!!

x

[monkiflip15]

@HicksUTS really woah igotta try it. i thought you did it because mike did it in pierce the veil

[HicksUTS]

@disasterology1013 hahahaha! thanks so much dude :D!! had so much fun recording it :D! hopefully will do another ptv one soon :)! x

[6661VengeanceHarlot]

[xXOliverRamaXx]

Insane cover man! What kick mic are you using? :)

[HicksUTS]

@xXOliverRamaXx thanks so much man! Err honestly? a like £10 rusty vocal mic haha :P. I don't have enough mics to use live drums at the moment so i have to trigger my drums :)! Stoked that it sounds natural enough to be mistaken though :D!! xx
