Awesome cover, sharing this on my facebook for sure. 

[TheMikeflaherty]

they look cool cause theyre custom made so you wont find any other like it, the sound is phenominal but the way they feel is even better. you can just let loose and bash on em.

[FORTY848]

is that a zoom r24 i see at 3:08?

[rm250fan]

Awesome song,Bad ass cover,Great video shooting!

[deftones10123]

great job MAN awesome.

[TheMikeflaherty]

Mike Flaherty here, thank you everyone sooo much for all your positive feedback, youre all awsome it means a lot to me. to answer everyones question i play the way i do because its my style, i do not want to be like everyone else, i beat the living shit outta my drums the way their supposed to be played!!!

[Josh350]

@TheMikeflaherty Shit bro, didn't see your comment, I posted the same thing. I was amazed that your sticks were so resilient, looks like you're using pro-marks? I'm a heavy hitter also and use 2BN Vic-Firths they've proven they can take a beating.

[TheMikeflaherty]

@Josh350 yeaaa there promark shira kashi oak (japan wood)2b wood tip. those sticks are like hammers there great for slow heavy hittin stuff like these songs

[Josh350]

@TheMikeflaherty I might try them out man. Btw, nice kit, orange county drums and sabians. I'm starting to like the sound of those drums.

[EternityProd]

guys i know this has been a consistent question with his play style and why he raises his arm the way he does and as i have said in the past i shot and edited this video i am not the person playing the covers so i cant answer these questions. So please stop asking

[Josh350]

@EternityProd As a drummer I can answer this question. He feels comfortable playing like that. Every single drummer has their own unique style of playing and should be respected. There's plenty of drummers who play awkwardly but that doesn't necessarily make them a good or bad drummer.

Nice editing by the way!

[Kazesan]

Nice covers, but am I the only one to notice just how high up his hi-hat is? Seriously that thing is eye level and his snare is lower than his legs. I don't think I could play like that. Not saying he's wrong in doing it, every drummer has their quirks, just saying those positions are odd-looking.

[zAfterShotz]

Awesome drum cover!! however WHATS WITH HIS HAND!?!?

seriously i want an answer as to why he does it.. not that i should care i just wanna know why. lol

[sevyn7up]

You kick ass bro.

[FORTY848]

his snare hand is really annoying

[TheNando777]

@FORTY848 Probably his way of keeping good time.

[FORTY848]

@TheNando777 maybe, or it might just be for show

[TheMikeflaherty]

@FORTY848 defff for show. i play many other styles its the heavier stuff i get a lil excited and hit a lil harder

[FORTY848]

@TheMikeflaherty yeah i always raise my snare hand more when playing harder

[MrManny7426]

Good drum covers from some dope ass bands!!!

[blackesteyes00]

wow you can hear every thing. your kit is awesome and you play it well. Great cover man.

[peaceouter101]

That was by far the best cover I have seen for this song. Please make more covers, I have plenty requests!

[leb9158]

dude your amazing



[DrPoon]

Nice! Funny when the beginning if the song is the most difficult.

[XtianUbec]

3 people dont wanna change

[mreliassimpson]

I like the vid

but its like your back is itchy a whole lot!

[digitaIphoto]

How do you make the sound so good?

[MrManny7426]

Nice and smooth man..u make it look so easy

[BurnedFaceShreder]

looks like he has an itchy back xD,good cover man

[Malthazaar]

Poor lonely bastard

[RandomTstudios]

awesome dude. love the camera angles, and audio quality is the best xD

[AtTheDitch]

left arm*

[AtTheDitch]

u do the dumbest thing with ur left hand.. -_-

[Zeinhawk97]

@AtTheDitch Its His Style

Every Drummer Has A Style

[Killwhitey741]

Great sound, great quality, and even greater playing. Awesome cover.

[iamthedood1]

don't know from where to start. all his technique is wrong. and change aint even a hard song. can't stand the comments like that he is the greatest drummer. ges a decent drummer and could do much better if he had better technique.

[000surfin]

ima post this on my facebook so more ppl can see this man

[EternityProd]

@000surfin thanks for the support spread the word!!

[mentidoso]

great quality

[blackfeiticeira]

[audioinfantry]

This guy is the greatest drummer in the world!

[matalica46]

@audioinfantry  jonh bonam

[mineonlyhoof]

bad ass

[bjorn860]

hmm ur hi-hats are very HIGH :o xD nice cover tho,

[Alexr26]

is he a machine? or why the "lifting mechanic arm"?

[sidneykylebowman1]

Nice, man, great video, great cover, great set. He plays a little weird compared to most but shit he can sure play.

[000surfin]

dood this looks so freakin good

[XTGstudios]

Needs more views

[suckaniggasdick]

A man that can play that well can do what ever the fuck he wants with his arms.

[zim670]

this p.o.d. cover really help me out , your drumming is air tight bro aka the s**T. thanx

[CruJones2112]

whats wrong with his arm?

[TheEnglishWay1]

It's good but the lifting of the arm thing makes me want to fucking chop it off

[korn8291]

really awesome cover...its hard to belive this isn't an actual music video..great camera angles and everything too!

[TOOLAREFCKINCOOL]

david bowie

[JoeeSmithh]

4:05 - Orgasm

[BNSFmow]

dude your bad as fuck.. i really dig the camera work, of course the drums

[stacker210]

He really doesn't like cymbals under 20" huh? lol

Great playing, I love this song and that hi hat is sizzling!

[suckaniggasdick]

Amazing drumming man.

4:05 is where it really throws me off but it feels so good

[rodney612]

best drum video ever!! the editing is so sick man wicked job

[Mr912Lancer]

that really is awsome man, great camera work aswell

[MrBillSmauz]

Your friend is amazing

[graydays79]

WOW !!!! GREAT MAN VERY GOOD !! how long you been playin?

[drummakid101]

All I gotta say is, That's some funky ass hair.

[decentdrummer911]

He's pretty good. Nice drum set. But why the heck does he raise his arm over his head for every single drum hit. That's so weird. And in south town he loses time after a couple fills, but overall it was great.

[DJSupaNova54]

Yo that's Fuckin Sick B!

[Sonny1309]

Fucking Good!!!!!!

[goneFeral]

very nice. but the whole arm over the head thing seems weird

[wer9121]

that rocks

[hmcdonnell23]

Overall, a very nice video and excellent quality.  One of the best covers I've seen on youtube.

[EternityProd]

i am not playing the drums. i shot and edited the video but yea he is a friend of mine he has been playing for over ten years he is really an amazing drummer

[frankrizzo442]

@EternityProd : Those overhead shots are amazing. What type of setup are you using? Great video! Very professional looking.

[dgarreis]

I am confused. Are you playing the drums here or you recorded it for this guy?

Best Cover of this song I have seen. Only differance between the real thing and this cover is the drumset color. Great drumming! It should have way more ratings!

[roxygirlkavi]

dude, ur my new hero haha. totallyyyy awesome

[TomCatDrummer26]

was there a hole in your snare or was that just the snares color wareing out

[iceorb]

5'd and favorite'd. The fact that this video only has 343 views is a bit appalling. The quality of the camera work, the sound quality, and the playing is just so good. Fantastic camera work and great playing man. I'm not a huge fan of POD but I do like me some Deftones. Keep playing and keep making awesome videos like this.

[ThisGuyDrums21]

hey nice southtown cover, but i am wondering why you raise your arm so high when you hit the snare.

[EternityProd]

thanks a lot man. i wish i could get this video out to more people

[TheNando777]

Wow that was the best cover on youtube I have seen. You played it to the T and really helped me figure out the difficult parts. You rock!

[sXe910]

really great

real talk

[TomCatDrummer26]

dude these videos are the best deftones an POD covers from those specific songs I have seen by far yet...awesome job bro

[EternityProd]

hahaha yea the hvx is a great camera. thanks man

[guitarromike]

this is so high definition it's ridiculous haha nice cover bro
