From 3:54 ...wow that is gnarly drumming. You legend!

[RuckusNW]

[chickenbeforeegg]

Major respect, dude! I love this tune, but the way you play it makes it even more great. Two thumbs up! :)

[Darjeelings]

[jaydee4777]

Freaking 'Respect'.. Well done!

[BladingEdits]

Your foot work is legendary.

[fumikoxkakoshi]

one day i'll be as good drummer as this guy : D

[moeb1us]

I've also watched through like 10 of your videos, sitting in a comfy chair with laptop in front of me, headphones on etc. Some vids I watched 5-7 times in repeat-mode. I really want to congratulate you on your clean and precise play. Stunning videos. Plus the choice of bands is exactly my wavelength. Love it.

[YoutanPoluo]

You are the shit dude! 

[mcmahon913]

i like how you kept the beat by hitting your leg i have never seen that before, by the way you are amazing keep up the good work!

[Darjeelings]

Mad love

[GuapGenerals]

Much love foals!!!

[tomogh311]

You have a better kit that jack does. He only has a tama superstar custom. :)

[thefoamycherry]

@tomogh311 YOU'RE KIDDING RIGHT? 

[impressable]

purely epic!

[PABLODRUMS1000]

[MyberTube]

Good job Dude!!....I hope you're in a band...don't waste your talent!

[thebigapplesauce]

[GenTVR]

your snare sounds beast

[moonlily27]

You are so cute! This is amazing!

[IDontKnow733]

That was amazing!!!!!

[funkydisciple1]

stunning...that was really good.

[bluejaffa]

Nice cover, nice sound.. just shame about the hair my son

[chelly281]

@bluejaffa LMAO!!!!!

[xotishh]

I don't really like rock music, but this has made me fall in love with the Fouls :o :)

[OliveTree487]

i've just been looking through a couple of your videos and i'm constantly stunned by the standard of drumming

[gedbangsdrums]

you sir.. are to cool for this planet.

[DrivenBlack]

you use shira kashi oak sticks too!!?! haha i love those so much, but i only use those live and i practice with hickory sticks

[chriswt]

mad skill, being able to play both drummers' parts at once

[CURLS456]

i want to know, how many takes do these usually take ??

[cepasevident]

Christian! I want a CD with all your drum cover :) !!!

[pyscoplastico]

nice :)

[AznTuber2000]

NEEDS MOAR COWBELL.

Just Kidding. Great Cover Man.

[jonboy85]

Awesome my man, spot on!

[PantDaddy]

I love this song.... Just saw it live last week....If these guys are performing within 6 hours of you I recommend seeing them....Sick drummer and perfect vocals

[Sacmyster123]

@PantDaddy This dude has performed WITH foals! what a legend!

[Moffelcopter]

I must say I've looked at a lot of your covers and it seems you've not only got great drumming skulls but also an excellent music taste. I hope to see you jamming in a band in a bunch of years cos I'm sure I'd enjoy listening to it. Keep it up :)

[Chirz84]

Is that the Dw7000 kick beater ? and also Ive got a fever and the only perscription is more cowbell

[Chirz84]

Ive got a fever and the only prescription is more cowbell :)

[GravitysRainbow3]

Co-ordination's out of this world 0_0

[Masterpeces]

that's better than original song :D

[L0lrYaNL01]

Can we get over this "no soul" or "so he does have a soul" thing? It gets old.

[dtsap]

@L0lrYaNL01 This thing with the "ginger" and "soul" is not only old but also disgusting.

[imhowardmoonsir]

Great cover man :D

[FarisRRR]

I love how you have combined edwins part on the cowbell with jack's drumming

I had a look at the Black Gold Live version and they split up the cowbell and drumming between two people

but you've put it together, love <3

[chekojo18]

@FarisRRR that's because when they play Black Gold live, Jack plays Hi-hat instead of cowbell. So they need to split up the cowbell. But anyway, it's a great cover and it sounds amazing. :)

[FarisRRR]

@chekojo18 That's what i said lol

Live they split it up

But for the cover he merged them together, therefore pure love

[hojun7273]

@FarisRRR no, I know that Edwin plays the cowbell, but Jack plays with his hi-hat instead of his cowbell

so there's really no difference. plus, Jack is creative and brilliant for using that combo of hi-hat and Edwin's cowbell part to make it sound even better

[FarisRRR]

@hojun7273 There is a difference, check out the hi-hat pattern here. On the "Foals // Black Gold (ORIGINAL UPLOAD - First live performance @ Live De Semaine 2010)" video, the hi-hat rhythm is different to the cowbell rhythm.

[hojun7273]

@FarisRRR you are right, yeah my bad but I was just saying that he still plays with his hi hat instead of a cowbell which is not that easier than the original recording

[FarisRRR]

@hojun7273 S'all good, but yeah I get what you mean, just a different variation of playing I guess!

[hojun7273]

@FarisRRR haha yeah I think Jack just tries to play every song live different from the original recording since playing the same thing over and over again is just boring

[thefatpiggytail]

i think christopher walkin is feeling better now with all that cowbell

[jared7032]

My life for that cowbell lol

[shatteredlamp12]

awesome drumming, my fav song on the album

[GoodasGuilty]

Awesome Video.. That beat during the Verse is pretty sick.. Complicated.. I am starting to catch on now that I have seen the entire video.. But to try and play would be another story...!

You are excellent, Keep on going with this!!! Every Step up the air gets different!!

Not my usual music, But I am liking more and more softer stuff like that!! Good Song choice!

[danl284]

you look so uncomfortable .. but otherwise this is a good cover . . . you could mix it up a bit aswell not just stick to the normal song pattern

[crubba]

@danl284 he tries to get it as acurate as possible to the original

[FarisRRR]

@danl284 then it wouldn't be a drum cover

[adas1023]

I FIND FOALS NEW ALBUM A DISAPPOINTMENT.

[chesseandham]

@adas1023 u r

[adas1023]

@adas1023 Can i take my old comment back? it was the best album of 2010. Not even joking, i have no idea what i was thinking when i said this (i think i had only listened through it once or twice)

[pigbeenis]

Gotta love that fuckin cowbell

[endurobaq]

do u have any technique?

hiting drums isn't playing drums.

[Guapogiboy]

@endurobaq your an ididot.

[PotatoDonki]

@endurobaq I suppose you haven't noticed that he's playing the song right. Also, you're an ass.

[Agirlhere11]

@endurobaq Yeah, you're a complete twat. This guy sounds awesome

[braddersthemod]

not long of august left now...

[chickenbeforeegg]

ive never seen such a fluid groove before... well done.

[HiHatMadness]

awesome dude do you not have your own band your talents seem pretty wasted

[Mr321frankster]

@llPurpleHazell haha lmao

[spacegnome1]

@llPurpleHazell More soul than you

[llPurpleHazell]

@spacegnome1 get off youtube troll

[spacegnome1]

@llPurpleHazell how was i trolling? asshole

[BBenDiMaiOO]

@llPurpleHazell you have no sense of humor

[llPurpleHazell]

@BBenDiMaiOO Really because it was a joke.

[JaksProductions]

@llPurpleHazell 

[howaboutthis230]

woah thats so cool! you can see when you hit the bass drum in the reflection at the bottom! hahaha christian you are such an amazing drummer!!!

[Ozzymoto]

That was freaking amazing. Such an intense song and some genius drumming. Plus that's a great tutorial for anyone who was a bit unsure on how to drum the song. I shall be using it myself.

Can't wait for Spanish Sahara- my favourite song of 2010 thus far. I'm sure it's gonna be awesome :D

[js100tr]

@Ozzymoto he's done spanish sahara already

[superhsv23]

@js100tr Yeah, but it was removed due to copyrights. So he's doing it again.

[Ozzymoto]

@superhsv23 Ah right, didn't know that. Will be great to see the new cover, seeing as I didn't see the first one!

[pinksue]

siiiiiiiiiiiiiick!!!

[Temp144]

FUCKIN ACE!!!!!

[PotatoDonki]

Oh, this means Spanish Sahara is up next! I love that song!

[L33Tspartan]

@PotatoDonki hes done spanish sahara

[PotatoDonki]

@L33Tspartan He hadn't done anything past this when I'd posted this comment. But now he started kicking butt and is almost done!

[alovelycyclist]

I GOTTA HAVE MORE COWBELL says christopher walken...just kidding you are such a brilliant drummer! never stop

[JamesHaskin]

Looks fun to play :D

[EdBallMusic]

Needs more cowbell ;)

lol just kidding, this is a really great groove

[Ethulo]

really nice

the position of the camera is great. You can comprehend every single hit

awesome

[spicyironingboard]

wat does comprehend mean?

[MrPotee]

@spicyironingboard um you are on the internet, you can just google it. But it means to understand.

[ramyandy]

nice drums

[drummermantim]

ooooo what kit is that isn't it made out of boobinga or what ever?

[gjman12]

I got a fever! And the only prescription, is more cowbell!!!!

[TheSoldierofPeace]

My favourite part is from 3:40 to 5:50 :)

[Chr0nict0wn]

Love this. Cowbells rock. Great cover.

[NYDisco]

Amazing once again! Can't wait for This Orient :)

[foofighter16]

fucking epic man!! really couldn't wait til you uploaded black gold!!

[LKLNinja]

Black Gold is the is so fun to play on every instrument! 'Specially drums..

[Thenerdydrummerguy]

Great cover!! Where's the 'intricate' pattern though? I don't see it :P Please could you tell me what part of the video they are? (I know it's the second half somewhere...)

[CaucasianTurk]

GET IN!!!! ;)

[officialravenzoe]

You're a babe. 

[tobyiswierd]

this is very clever because when jack bevon plays this song he dosent play the cowbell part when he plays it live edwin the synthist does that part soo you are skilled to do both pats !:)

[nightshot999]

i think i can see the crack on your ride, maybe it's worth getting it ground out?

[callantaylor]

i love your rebound action.

[godisclosedj5]

Do you have black heads? Or just dampening pads on your drums?

[matthew12494]

@godisclosedj5 They are just normal black heads.

[anothergoodnight]

awesome job as always dude!

[L33Tspartan]

COWBELL! this makes me happy :D

[GoneByJuly]

[winn4ola]

[Bunji2k6]

Always when I think you've done your greatest cover, you kick it up a notch. Superb.

[rampagingacorn]

[TheRawberri]

Good job on the pedal work! Tricky looking stuff.

[MFGProductions]

[drummerdude41]

@joejoesrevenge2 I play drums in a subdivision and all my neighbors love me. They think im like a bad ass cause im a drummer. w/e one has a hot daughter and being a drummer def helps.

[wackojackman]

[FlixxBlixx]

@wackojackman I think that everybody wants to jam with him;)

[united768]

i REALLY should start listening to foals.

[EternalDrummer1990]

I like those heads. What is the snare head? I can never seem to find black snare heads.

[paultheporc]

love the ending

[Toepe]

awesome song and cover!

[MupHiLoL]

Welle done!!!

=)

[TheEdibleShoe]

Do you know how amazing you are at drums? I wish I could get to your point, I've been playing for about 5-6 months. You make me want to keep trying.

[sophiesayswhut]

Amazing! :D Spanish Sahara is next? - Can't wait! <3

[cgalla0307]

@sophiesayswhut he already did a cover of that



[Gambit1984]

@cgalla0307 Yeah, but he or someone else (who knows) took that video down again. So maybe he didnt like the first version and doing a new version of Spanish Sahara now. (?)

[WoWfenatic]

great job, cant wait for Love Lost cover!

[Gambit1984]

@WoWfenatic Who said he would cover Love Lost? Isn't that a Temper Trap song?

Awesome cover as always btw callen!

[WoWfenatic]
