2:07 showoff!

[DCMA247]

holy fuck sheldon from the big bang thorey can play drums!? he's wicked! great sound shelly.

[newguy1423]

amazing hihat work

incredible cover my man

[drfreebird777]

You are a brilliant drummer. Yeah, listening again, my only mark against your choices in this song is the double-bass, or what I would call bass rolls, seem to overfill the song, example 0:39-045.

But, you are a joy to listen to!

[ZINCOVIX8754]

2.11 genius

[petersims411]

3:40 is the sex

[BBslider002]

Dude, are you gonna play as a pro or just doing it for a hobby? I have watched alot of covers on here and no one knows how to use their wrists. You actually do that and it's good to watch. Good fluidity...it's what good drumming is all about.

[JeroenvD1993]

Wow your drum kit sounds awesome... Great video man!

[dewman92]

great stuff man

[jbklash]

Mec tu déchires j'espère un jour savoir jouer comme toi !

[drfreebird777]

Thanks for posting. I love your stuff. On this song, I love the off tempo tom fills--more than anyone I have seen cover Stewart Copeland, you seem to be able to match his tempo and polyrythms with ease.

While your hi-hat is amazing, I think it breaks with the integrity of the song as I think the double bass do as well. Something seems overanxious about them--this is a song about loneliness and something too crowded and frenetic about your choices there. Let the song breathe.

[littletiki1]

that is thumping!

[7213258]

You don't respect the music. Play the original track, it's more difficult!

[clodelars]

@7213258 I see things like this 1) colaiuta, weckl, copeland & co are not coverable anyway, nobody will ever sound like them, their technic is not imitable and copying doesn't make you a better drummer.

2) try to create something on your own, this is a difficult thing.

3)I've spent 1/3 of my life practicing drums, you probably can't imagine how much respect I have for the guys I learned from.

[SupraJin]

@clodelars i thnk your version is even harder than the orininal

[Tjumpie]

@clodelars I think your cover is way better then the original. I don't even want to listen to the original version ;)

[whorewatch]

@7213258 Since when does taking the time to create your own sound around a song you obviously like, show disrespect? It shows the opposite. Ever heard of a 'Tribute'? Besides, if i wanted to hear the original I'd listen to the original.

[Steroidpoodle]

@7213258

Hahahahaha, Yeah. Right. You're retarded man. Theres polyrythms all over this bitch.

[darthdrummer89]

killing every second of this song great job

[MEDLI123]

Hey I love your sound its original and new And you make it sound really awsome like you wrote the song You tackle the song and makeit into a peice of work. Like same name but different sound Kick ass job man

[GuiXtrem19]

you rock !

[mrkva4]

why are you so good man ? :)

Love all your covers & groves

[powellskater11]

dude i learned how to play this today and on the parts when you were doing 16th notes on the high hat i did at my lesson from watching you play this and my teacher said it did not sound right HE WAS WRONG AND YOU MAKE THIS SOUND LIKE A GOD PLAYIN

[Honzishek]

well done you have great drum set with nice sound

[ChadMalto]

I didn't like the way you played the second verse. I think you should've kept that part more similar to the way it's actually played.

[signoreoscuro79]

bello!

[rocd17]

eccezzionale 6 un mostro complimenti!!!!!

[TheMysticbeat]

Dude, love your drummin. Stop using your double bass every where man.

[LVSTYLEE]

kit sounds great! nice snare rips!

[Johnnyf2r]

A proper drummer! You're amazing dude, got to know you through the James Bond vid. That was awesome btw! This one is amazing as well. American grip and French grip, you master them both. Not many drummers can! Props!

[BBslider002]

Good clean style while keeping the groove and adding creativity! Wat to go man...keep it coming.

[goldenhopper]

I really like this guy, but those hats gotta go!

[Flarkdude27]

@goldenhopper Hi-hat sounded fine, I didn't like the ride.

[DrumsAndToms]

Good job. Snare is hard to hear though, something to work on for next time.

[cheketron]

Impresionante, very good job, thanks.

[nocturnezero]

I LOVE the sound of all your drums and cymbals... except your ride. It's just so brassy and metallic-wet. I really can't stand it. But to each his own.

But the drumming was absolutely amazing, as usual.

[willshiznit86]

@nocturnezero yeah most a custom rides are really washy & metallic.

[lugator]

Nice toms sound!!! how did you tune it?

[slazen]

no coments....superb

[prusovak]

[baixistarj1]

5/5 and subscribed you;

[pb0o6]

[nx2overide]

damn you stick work is amazing!

[tneve1993]

wow.. the timing on that was as tight as a camels ass in a sandstorm, especially loved the hihat work, 5 stars =)

[OfekTheQueenFan2]

Fantastic work man! 5 stars

[gearguitarguy]

Great job making it your own, not just trying to clone Stewart Copeland.

[luyru2004]

[mikegetty]

Good stuff!

[tadeubastos]

Fodaaa d++ !!!

Não me canso de ver esse video!!

Excelente baterista!!

Parabéns!

[Drummer12171989]

Great cover man.

[onebad68]

Its kind of like watching Stewart Copeland, same odd time crashes and splashes.

Really good drumming.

[InsaneMusicJunkie25]

this guy could most likely replace almost any drummer in any band,hes really good

[jackandnickmusic]

dude, i have been drumming for only about 2 and 1/2 yrs. i really like how u just changed the way u feel when u listen to the song. good job. u r the best drummer ive seen

[MrZapp11]

best drummer in the world !!!!!!!!!!!!

[johnnymontgomey]

You are the best i,ve seen so far Homie!

[ropeblazer]

I have been listening to covers of this song all morning and have seen some pretty impressive work. Then your video came on and within the first few seconds of your playing I said, "That would make Stewart Copeland proud!" While many drummers have practiced the song a million times until they play it just like the recording, you took the energy and style and played it how the song makes us all feel. Thank you.

[johnnymontgomey]

dude is a bad boy on those drums the best I,ve seen so far

[alepap1984]

stunning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[judas28]

u should make a cover of Dire Strait's sultan of swing =B

i will love to see you doing that

greetings from chile

[50j0urn3r]

der absolute knaller!!!

ich bin zwar nur gitarrist, aber du gehst ab wie schnitzel :)

saugeil

5* (mehr geht nunmal nicht)

[LOLE1991KOVIN]

I like this very much because he didn't play just like on the song, he played similar but on his way... That's cool!

[zhorta]

Deserves a standing ovation!!!!

[KCity16]

Fucking awesome, much more enjoyable than any other covers I've seen.

[speedoflite1]

good

[BigHater007]

3:40 RIGHT ON THE MONEY!!! whooooooo

[TheOlioremia]

yessssssssssssssssss cool style and very sound greetings from florence italy

[Yellowjprox]

Frekin awesome man ur probably the only youtube drummer ive seen that doesn't just play it as if they were just reading it, u just improvise and that was kool man !!

And what kind of hi-hat do u use??

[Unrated48]

in 2009 the sound quality in ur vids is so much better XD ! your my favorite youtube drummer hehe ur a online famous person :) I would really wish to see you at television XD

[DeuceDeuce0331]

I love your high hat sound, what are you using?

[m0r4v4n]

2nd video of yours I am watching...right after Blackened...surely not the last, your drumming is perfect !

I like your scale of genres being so motley !

[frearrifo]

wena wena wena mejor que stewart !!!!

[powellskater11]

from 2:04 to 2:25 was a master piece

[cozza1991]

lol. thats the only time in the whole video that i saw him slip up !

still ABSOLUTE class!!

[skyblue021]

Mate, I have enjoyed every bloody second !

Well done!

[birknielsen123456]

@skyblue021 I agree !!

[astrochicken]

Fucking brilliant!

[GrooveThumper]

smooth dude, very smooth, damn some of the grooves you played with were slamin' .

and that stumble down thing you did from 3:01 is tighht

[Danielyeahman]

stewart copeland would be proud! i saw them live last year and this song really stood out. and you drumming it was ace! no one can do it this good/

[conkareno]

hey look hes using trditional grip one of a very few drummers on here that use it gd plyin

[Toto99fan]

Hey great playing. what sort of pattern or rudimental playing are u doing on the hi hat section?

[folliepigalle]

overplayed. Stewart Copeland's groove sounds waaaay better. But Claude is a great drummer, no question about that.

[MrGangstah14]

I really think you guyz r jealous! like chill, leave the man alone thatz his style of drum playin so fuck off yu damn haters!

[Saevr001]

nice tecnique!!!

[kyjello12]

what are you talking about man?! this dude made the song ten times better.

[aaronalwines]

because its a drum solo cover ? its not like hes playin with a band mate or recordin in a studio

[BeJayusAndBeGorragh]

But it points to a lack of taste, in my opinion. It doesn't speak music to me. He's a fine player, I think he'd be much better if he chilled out.

[tatsuke95]

Your seeking out of a video to criticize points to a lack of taste. It doesn't speak class to me.

It's a drum solo, he's deliberately overplaying. Chill out.

[BeJayusAndBeGorragh]

I'm not asking you to agree with me, so let's not get too upset over it.

[djfireball999]

I think someone's jealous.

[BeJayusAndBeGorragh]

LoL, I can assure, I am not, I have no need for the green eyed monster. Thanks for caring though :)

[Tuganotube]

nice groove!

[foggypower]

wow

[Dannycantcook]

That was epic!!

Nice drumming m8

I thought i was good at this song but.......... il have to reconsider :P

Nice job

[308scoutrfl]

[MrManwithabeard]

[powellskater11]

[martinw3000]

a little bit out of time, but good try

[SomeguynamedJOn]

[cozza1991]

YOU'RE = YOU ARE

..and you go around calling other people retarded, you fucking goon.

[SomeguynamedJOn]

wow i used the wrong your big whoop its not like you cant understand what im saying

[tony13fg]

your face is out of time...

[lauranew1s]

[steelerfan011876]

[hayatotheninja]

Absolutely amazing.

[Hellucinator15]

FUCKIN SIIIIIIICK

[elmuan]

Excellent!

[Jibouze69]

Si tu peux, désentrelace ta vidéo, ça évitera ses sortes de "stries" à chacun de tes mouvements..

A part ça la batterie excellent!

[aldodarin]

2:11 to 2:15 fabulous

[sjeessjees]

clicktrack of mp3 in the ear?

[ricolikepal]

Nice, funky and tight. Good job

[vpizal]

Great Performance. Good speed, precision and cadenz, but, what's wrong with the drum base? I c'an't hear it.

[X4mple]

u have to go and see a docter mate ..

[powellskater11]

dude i hear it perfectly

[librecino]

grandissimo!!! stupendo!! vai cosììì!

[zebulot]

Magnifique, j'adore la couleur (musicale) de ton charleston

[J7V]

not feeling the change of beat in the bass drum

[nastromil]

good man!!!!

[powellskater11]

what the hell was omfgwhatisnttaken bitching about

[jwildman95bamf]

Chill out Dude

[drumkitty]

watching claude makes me want to learn traditional grip

[djfireball999]

Same, I really wish I could play using Traditional Grip.

[Nukkkaas]

toca bien...... pero es muy atascado y eso en ocasiones es muy malo rompe con los matices que marca la rola..... con unas clases de armonia queda perfecto.......

[infectedrummer36]

2:15 is my favorite part

[seandrumzmusic]

this is probably similar to how copland would play it live. fills are so nice.

[bubbleman20]

Wow!!

Just wondering...

What drum mics are you using?

:)

[hof12]

Well done, Claude!!!

Ciao, Salut, Tschüss, Alégra!!! by  Hof

[LEROTHECAT]

Claude - I played for about 35 years - NICE WORK! Keep going - don't ever stop!

[Nobroadcasting]

You're REALLY good, but it seems overplayed.

still fantastic.

[ariesram74]

I think if he were playing with live musicians and we were hearing them mixed, it would not seem "overplayed"
