Rush - Tom Sawyer - Drum Cover

[KooladeGoldfish]

dude this is freakin sweet. you are awesome!

[rodge2001]

my hi-hat on my edrums is not responsive. any advice? it feels like the spring in the hi-hat stand isn't strong enough to lift the rubber hi-hat pad quick enough. or are there settings i could tweak?

[zjs8]

y is there a delay on your drumming compared to the actual song....(in the video)^

[gamehead91]

[Unrelenting1]

nice apartment drums. Or noise violation drums...which ever you prefer....but not the real deal. Looked like your foot pedal was acting up also....need to oil that thing.

[SomeOfTheTruth14]

@DrummingNonStop I think he meant to say he "wails" on the drums.

[caiptnxawesome]

Perfect absolutely PERFECT, best part is 2:34 - 2:47

[TheJUANITO03]

why in the middle of the song...magicly another pedal appears??

[MrNeruNeko]

Awesome, You think you can make a Coheed and Cambria - Welcome home drum cover? I'll totally love it, Thanks man, also keep like this. ^-^

[thefallen122]

9 people don't understand the meaning of talent. Ridiculously wicked cover man. Best I've ever heard. 30,216 is no where near enough views for this video!!!!

[rouxeau14]

Dude yeah!!!! You absolutely rock

[2rojas3drummr9]

i got a td 20 also but without the exp. board. did you make your kit or is it a new preset?

[GongShowNicky]

very very good cover man.

[welcometomyhousepunk]

wait, is this song played with a double bass pedal??

[MessiasMR]

hey dude nice cover

but I noticed that you are using double pedal to this song, I don't think you need to.. This song can be played using only one pedal.

I am trying to play this song on drums and I'm playing it almost perfectly, but you kick ass dude

Excelent cover!

[6codeman6]

Great drum cover man!!!



[MrNeruNeko]

Elite! :D so pro man, peace, keep rocking you know ^^ also you need more views, all those people are stupid :C lol anyways see ya ^^

[muzikscud23]

What kit are you using mate?

[van254]

wow just wow..... that was amazing!!

im a drummer myself (nowhere near as good as u ill point out) and im gobsmacked at how well u played

[socalrep091]

thumbs up for "i love you man" for had it not been for that movie i wouldnt know what this song was

[FlavoredDeath]

Jesus, arent those like $5,000 vdrums?

[MrJenney]

Dude, I want to play drums so bad! You're my hero

[thinewelshman]

Gross china at 4:30 but overall a pretty solid cover! Nice job man.

[KJGordon05]

I wish there was a TD20 outside of my bathroom...

[TheEmpireofEagles]

Nice kit, I'd kill for one ;_; like £3k lol excellent cover man :D and lol christmas decorations, I got an Alesis DM10 studio its nice...but ya....

[919johnny]

hey man i love the cover i only have one comment. there are a couple parts where you add a little extra and make it sound a little more complex. tom sawyer doesn't really have that style too it keep it simple. other than that man you're an amazing drummer. keep it up!!

[xxJustin32xx]

amazing!!! those 8 dislikes can go... nevermind

[abatzkon]

see the TD 20 see the macbook nice setup dude! Can you please state which rolland drum setup you're using??? did u create it yourself? custom one maybe?

[chuck270167]

perfection...send this to Neil peart 

[LockerzSwagbucks]

amazing.

[mautsukuda]

amazing cover man! i hope i can buy a kit like that one day.

[hockeyplaya131]

WOW! That is just fucking sick! @nholloman dude... ... ... ... I actually saw them play live a little while back and I dare say if anything happens to Peart you may be able hold his place. That is just unreal! Keep it up sir!

[dustobusto]

Plus, people bitching about "air drumming" are obviously not drummers because if they were they'd #1 recognize that this drumming is "electric" sounding as they are electric drums, and two that this sounds nothing like Neil Peart, as far as kit-wise and even composition, with the subtleties of his original drumming vs your cover.

[dustobusto]

Sigh, I'm trying so hard to learn how to play this song. I can play a little over half of it. And I'm currently working on the big complicated drum part after the 7 time where you repeat the two measures, if that makes sense. I've only been playing drums for 5 months now, so I am understandably struggling, but still. I just wanna play it :S

How long have you been playing? Did you learn this by ear purely? Did you use any notes as a guide?

[mlbmlsnfl]

how long have you been drumming? im looking into buying a drumset and i dont know which one to get, i have no drumming experience.

[amrasmord]

I. Want. Your. Kit.

[lileric524]

i so want them drums man damn you paid a bunch for them the ones i found were like 6,000 and up

[TheMetalhead52]

i like ur drumming alot but this song is only kick not double kick but its ok.

[hellboy0o]

NAILED THE DRUM SOLO !!!! YOUR A FUCKIN BEAST

[rochaal]

Might be better to use the bass drum instead of the snare at the end of the sequence between 2:26 and 2:30. The snare makes time to lose. Still, did an excellent job! Congrats!

[HolyFlamingGerbils]

I don't even care is it was you or not I enjoyed watching and I love that song

[dertrommlinator]

Awesome! You really played it well. I'm going to check out your other vids

[johnnylarue1]

kinds gay w Electronic kit?

[ThatMyProd]

how much your drum cost :P and what it his model and nice cover!

[Just2Pacificas]

Thats probably one of the best tom sawyer drum covers i've ever seen mate

Amazing :D

And lol at those dudes, 'air drumming'? they can see you hitting the right pads and pedal ;S

[drums2play1]

@Just2Pacificas ??? you have to be kidding??

[XxxMetallicafan1100x]

you blast beat dont you? 

[mgorbaty]

now this is a rock song! very nice cover

[JBHyperlite39]

Solid!

[TheNum1metallicafan]

Neil Holloman? You sure its not Neil Peart? That was flawless, great job

[ODPbojangles]

Couldn't help but notice, but is your snare drum supposed to shake like that?

[evars09]

omg haha this is AMAZING seeing as i was JUST at a Rush concert

[michael1791]

Please do more Dream Theater covers please. Hell's kitchen, Shattered Fortress, These Walls would be 3 good drumming songs. (among plenty others) DT ROCKS!

[brady5991]

the next neil peart here :P honestly though that was a fuckin awsome cover!!

[pasitedrummer]

how do u recored your vids like how do u record the song and the audio at the same time ? and great cover most proboly the best cover on youtube thumbs up

[bigkorn16]

for the ppl that think he is not playing the song if u listen to the orinigal song then listen to this u can tell the difference in the way the drums sound

[sakenem]

Very well done! Kudos man! =]

[human8r336]

if you think hes faking just look at the console thing the sound is definately on

[XXOAPTRAGEDY]

I figured since I'm going to see Rush tomorrow and they're playing the entire moving pictures album why not watch a cover done by an excellent drummer. I subbed.

[MultiObviousTroll]

Wow anybody who can pull off a drum cover for tom sawyer deserves to be called pro wow man just wow Gratz on your skill for drumming

[DeLuckyGus19]

good job that other guy dusnt knw wat hes talkin bout u did a great job u cant air drum this and look that real so good job keep goin man i look forward on seeing ur other drum covers

[lulack0]

Great cover man, nice drum kit to. i wanna get me self one of those electric drum kits.

[randomman867]

nice iPhone

[mewkittyninja]

Amazing playing ^^ -subscribes- Do you play by ear?

[motordale]

In a way, the guy that commented and said he can't tell if you're air playing or not kinda gave you a compliment without trying to ! Anyone that plays can certaily tell that you're playing as well ! And I mean Very Well !!! Great Cover ! I've been trying to play that since I was a kid thirty years ago and still can't touch it ! But I haven't played in thirty years either ! lol Just started again about two months ago. Add me to your facebook and maybe we can trade equipment sometime. Dale

[akoolbhatt]

Dude! Awesome job! I could honestly not tell whether it was you or Peart playing lol. Anyways, what kit is that and how much did it cost you?

[MacyHasAPearl]

is it just me or is his foot possibly the most boss thing ive ever seen

[natemets2326]

@MacyHasAPearl That shit is mad boss

[desdrumhead]

how much was that kit/ and nice work

[Pawpaw14RS]

@desdrumhead I think his are Roland td-12, im not sure.. maybe roland td20. but td20s are 7000 dollars. i think td 12s are 5000

[bltrnnicole]

Joben.

[mammakamel]

Another great vid :) Your drums sound really good! Keep it up!

[noe32390]

dude i have a challenge for you. do the trooper by iron maiden

[davethewave1223221]

lol you rock dude!

[niRvaNa11792]

@domandjacob there about 7000$

[niRvaNa11792]

what kit are you using????

[Dropshot64]

Hey man, love all the videos, especially this one, two questions, what type of headphones do you use and what type of drumsticks? keep up the great work, you are truly one of my teachers

[YouHaveMetYourMaker]

Well at least one guy on youtube doesn't play traditional :)

[snarespeed01]

Dude u fucking nailed it bro GJ!

[snarespeed01]

Dude u fucking nailed it bro GJ!

[DrumsOSX]

like 5-6000

[OneManReunion]

I can't think of this song without thinking of the movie "I Love You, Man" i love when they jam out to this, "Exit the warrior todays Tom Soiiiiiiy, slappin' da bass." Great movie.

[deadly421]

@domandjacob LOL its pretty expensive around 4-5 grand

[Demyxkh2]

wow... you nailed that solo. AMAZING!

[omzi79]

good job man. Sounds just like the original

[parotman101]

Nice Stuff man, good job on the solo at 2:33 i watched that part literaly about 50 times in a row!

[CaptainAri324]

is this electric guitar ?

[devwhit]

Who says "But change is" in the song? It doesn't sound like the original. Good drumming, by the way.

[buminbeer2]

Good God, I'm not sure if I just heard Neil or his brother? I've been playing music for 25 years and that was some damn fine playing. Very nice style you have and heard some of your other works, very nice.

[deathlordoo]

if u haven't already you should do for the greater good of god - iron maiden

[0Nolan]

I love your covers, and your sound is amazing. Can you tell me how you do that? You connect it to your computer or so? (I also have mac) Thanks! And keep on drumming!

[Machigli]

deadly

[RaiderDan510]

Prettty Damn Good..wonder if Neil P. seen this!?!

[RaiderDan510]

Not bad!!!

[MetalMan95100]

naied it, this has gotta be the hardest song to get this perfect on the drums

[iLikeMusic23]

Amazing cover, man. Very high quality.

And, btw, I'm lovin the rugs in the room in the background. Hahaha :D

[shoot603]

Great Cover of this song man. This is by far the best one I have heard! :)

[FearBeforeTheDawn]

neil purt, one of the best drummers of all time. Great job

[KHSfootball63]

you spelt his name wrong dumb ass, it's neil peart!

[dannyloskipapi]

Awsome bro.

Keep it up!

[jeffsim1771]

I can't tell where the Song ends and he begins. Its like telling someone lip syncing they're a great Singer. for all I know its a great air drumming.

Not Saying Guy isn't Good, Great, Mediocre, Horrible, Just saying I can't tell if I'm listening to him Or Neil.

[nholloman]

go listen to the original track then come back and listen to this, you will hear the difference. The original drum track is no where near as prominent. I actually think it would be MUCH harder to try and air drum this song, especially when the sticks and pedals are visibly hitting every drum.

[nholloman]

oh and either way you are listening to Neil bc that's my name too. haha. thanks for watching man.

[drummeracealex]

@nholloman So it is Neil Peart is basically what you just said.

[tctebsrules]

obviously you've don't play drums then. cuz it's he's hitting everything right. If the drums weren't plugged in you can tell he'd still be able to play it

[goody8504]

@jeffsim1771 that's because he has a really awesome set

[crushhhhhh]

I'll give you a hint. The one that sounds like electric drums is the guy in the video. If you can't tell what electric drums sound like then...

[silv3rscar]

@jeffsim1771 except for the fact that every single thing is spot on

[youcantfindwaldo]

thats why you cant tell the difference lol

[Skiddymushroom]

@jeffsim1771 No man if you listen carefully you can hear a little delay in some parts its him hahaha BTW nholloman great videos man

[iunnox666]

@jeffsim1771

If you're air drumming this well, all you would need is to actually hit the drums for it to sounds like this.

[iunnox666]

@jeffsim1771

If you're air drumming this well, all you would need is to actually hit the drums for it to sounds like this.

[Insanelivekop]

@jeffsim1771 its nholloman because at 2:20 you can hear a rim shot that neil doesnt do :)

[Pawpaw14RS]

@jeffsim1771 Common sense. All i have to say to you.

[michael1791]

@jeffsim1771 Well you can use your eyes and your fucking brain, and you will realize he hits the drums with perfect rhythm to the song. Don't compare this guy to a lip sync-er.

[gately66669]

@jeffsim1771 definitely not "air drumming"...

[drums2play1]

Its not bad...electronic kits are very forgiving...its much easier to do covers like this and make them sound good....an acoutsic kit is much more revealing and far more difficult to play and sound good,

[AdamSiren]

@jeffsim1771 You, Sir, are extremely stupid.... i suggest you actually know what your talking about before you come on here and comment on something like this and sound/look so STUPID...

[eca155]

@jeffsim1771 he's clearly playing it... haha

[BadBoyProds]

@jeffsim1771 you can see on the drum module that hes playing it :)

[blkpitbull]

hooked on your ability, style and passion!!! Pleeze keep uploading more covers!!!

[ledzeppelin605]

[AverageHeightDave]

[rageman]

[XileOfTheStickman]

[AlexjBartlett]

You should cover YYZ

[malcolmX213]

Got to get an acoustic kit man.

[trypwned]

[dsshooter2000]
