Honestly, no one does Bloc Party covers better than Trout. Just the absolute best. I almost wish he had people that played the other parts as well as he did the drums for him to play with. Big ups :D
hey ive started a youtube channel doing some drum covers and things .. if you think u might like the sound of that check it out man there might be some songs you like... and be happy to request if u fancy one
@togastroll No it's not. Do you have any idea how hard that would be? Not only would it be IMPOSSIBLE to sync it to the song, but it would sound extremely high pitched. It's not sped up.
@lolh4x I agree it's not sped up, but it's actually not hard lol. Just slow down the tempo and play to the song at that tempo then speed your clip to match the tempo of the original audio. Syncing audio/video is pretty easy and speeding clips doesn't change your pitch unless you edit with like imovie 2001.
can you tell me wahts the name of the song at you drum cover video Bloc Party - helicopter at the beginnig of the video is a song, whats the name of it?
Try playing the song yourself. There's very little room for improvisation because of the tempo/flow of the song. There are only a few spots you can change up the fills without losing the feel of the song.
hi mark just been looking at the cover vids brilliant man i do i bit drumming my self but due to illnes having played for 3 year hoping to get back in to the swing of it again. do you think you could do a cover of pendulem slam theres no covers at all on youtube. thanks for reading keep up the cool drumming
nice again... but some minor gripes on the "nose is bleeding" chorus there's supposed to be ghosted sixteenths but it don't make much difference ur still the f---ing man
at 0:24 and every bit like that after you should be playing less on the high hats, he does one one one one one one , three three three three. Hope that makes sense, otherwise good cover!
niice. Bloc Party songs are always really good drum wise.
I just wondering how to be able to play the bass drum like that for long periods of time, ive been trying it but my ankle always starts to ache after a while and i lose the pattern.
to lukass if your ankle starts hurting then you should stretch your ankle before you play and take a break when it starts hurting and stretch also stop every 20 to 25 minutes or so to stretch even if it doesnt hurt because you dont want to put to much stress. and after awhile your ankles will get use to it and you wont have to stop as often. just my 2 cents.
A lot of wrist control here and you have to be good at accurate fills...Bloc Party has a drummer whos style is really accurate and mechanical so its hard to follow of you dont have the basics down...even then its hard to play if you have a widely spaced kit like me lol
Great cover man. Had a look at a few of your vids and they are excellent. I have been waiting for someone to cover this for ages on here. Only one comment, if you listen to matt he uses the toms more at the end of the fill rolls at 1'59 and 3'11. Difficult to explain but your fills sound different. Not a criticism just an observation, again great cover.
Yeah, this is probably my favourite Bloc Party song in terms of the drumming, and maybe my favourite Bloc Party song overall, although I do love Skeleton and Positive Tension.
Point is, you did a great job of it. There's some tricky bits in this one, it's really fast-paced.
I play the drums and i'm only 12. I've been playing the drumkit for nearly 2 years now and you really inspire me. I'm trying to play some of the drum covers you made, but your too good.
