Iron Maiden - The Trooper (drum cover)

[Shaka1400]

cooooooooooool!!!!!!!!

fucking awesome!!

[gillmietti]

Well Played  BRO !!!!!!!! Congrat from a Brasilian Drummer and maiden Fan to.

UP to Irons !!!!!!!!!!

[turts02]

you're a beginner?

I think you've been playing for a bit more than a year mate. Think you're using that as an excuse for your mistakes. But they're not mistakes:) It's just not how the song is played:) GOOD WORK

[misawaalexandre]

@turts02

i'm not trying to be annoying, and i'm sorry if I am, but it's not an excuse...

people learn things at their own rate

some learn within weeks

some within years

me, for example, i am good at guitar playing (I'm not exceptional, but I can play) and my skills were learnt within 3 months...

occasionally, I get better and develop my own and unique style of playing.

he too is learning...

I guess he must develop some technique of his own to fix his mistakes... not that he's creating excuses

XD

[griffinmatter]

Awesome drumming! Hope you're using your talent in a great band!

[candy1a68]

I don't care what these people say about this drum cover. You did a great job and I have been using this file to teach in my studio. Keep drumming.

[sanchezgabriel94]

Where are the microphones dude?

[scalelylizard09]

he would use double bass for covering iron maiden because look what iron maiden uses dick hole!

[switchheelfront360]

you made meinl mcs cymbals sound good haha!

[superamishguy]

damn real nice cover man! your kit sounds great too

[TheRobertodrummer]

bad cover pedal technique is three hits in each time is wrong

[989jer]

omg ur drums sound so great!  nice cover!

[lexgasyeah]

You are too good for almost a year of drumming!!! I played this song when I was playing 2 years and I made more mistakes than you!keep up the good work!!!

[TheGerardoBernal]

and u have been playing for only 1 year?

[sasorifan666]

i like the awsome red drum kit in the background :D

[wavade]

this guy always gets a great sound

[profalcon08]

[defilator]

Not bad. There was few things that should not be on that track.

[StefanoDrumsLife]

[willykane100]

[aragonmagic]

[CheeseDefender1]

@aragonmagic aprende ingles maricon

[Vangelaloun]

This cover is very good if you played drums for only one year before recording it!

[dzubiategonzales]

your left foot is sleeping

[rickymontero]

I think is very similar except 2:32 but still... may I have just the drum track? would like to use it to ad guitars and everything else. Good performance.

[sjoske98]

amezing!!!

[hansfims]

nice cover but ur cymbals are a little too tight and ur ride could be a little tighter

[jasyke]

broer tabs of drums..!!!

[Sera69FI]

Nice cover and attitude.

[ashguitar666]

lol i was about to ask wtf how many drumsets do u have!??! but that would probably be like asking me how many guitars and amps i got lol good job bro. up the irons!

[rosahlyn]

Cool, I ain't listened to Maiden in ages and as I used to go out with a drummer (now Black Smoke Saints on Myspace) I absolutely love it.

Shame I couldn't "feel it" like I could when my ex was practicing at home or with his "then" band in the studio.

GREAT!!! it's put a smile on my face.

[editoAE]

wou brother you are the best jajaja tocas de la pm chvr chabal alamos

[MrBrownstone447]

[gifak]

just for those who are looking for cymbals ;) the meinl 18" crash is a crash ride ;)

[ArthasMenethil96]

using only one cymbal...

[dwa926]

really good

[antiago1983]

Good job, but make the fills a little more various. :)

[eternalfiredrummer]

why didnt u use the other set?

[jamsterman1]

@eternalfiredrummer Drum set? Beacause they might be another kind of drums. SNare might be different

[gutmordi]

Btw, that's a 2008 and you were a " one year old" lol so that's a great cover. A couple little mistakes. Good job for that set of drums. Do you have a more recent cover? I'd be nice to see the evolution ;)

[gutmordi]

Excellent work :D. From all the covers I heard this is just about the best. Nice job!

[bugsblanco]

@gutmordi listen to the machinegunsmith.. visit his channel...

[shuffle811]

how can i get my toms to sound like that!

[Cantwait4sundaY]

@shuffle811 tune them

[ligthingblade]

i'll like to c u drummin' to painkiller on the other drumkit xP

[duje65]

dude ..... you rock ... you rock harder than most of famous drummers ...

[reubenjoseph96]

cool man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!

[lordilujah]

good cover , nicko mc brain doesnt need a double bass drum kit or pedal

[axur5]

Great!

[stefimoto]

Thats my bro, just MEINL !!!!!

[danielphilpot]

ur dam good!

[marmaduque31]

OR...the left foot on hi-hat....

[deawaeya]

i think another kit is better for this song ... is it yours ?

[OMGItsPhilipRedlund]

You missed the double pedals.

[Finisherdrummer3]

Nicko never used a double pedal until years on down the line, certainly not on this album. Get your facts straight before you criticize.

[trickeyjamie]

@Finisherdrummer3 Nicko NEVER used/uses a double kick, he says it's undrummerish he plays barefoot and im guessing practiced A LOT as a small boy, thats why he can make a 5 piece kit sound like a 10 piece

Up the Irons!

[Huoha]

@trickeyjamie actually he used double pedals on face in the sand :P but thats the only time at least in albums

[AwsomeDMan]

@Finisherdrummer3 Nicko still doesn't use a double bass for anything... Even now

[ostabilast]

@Finisherdrummer3 think the first song he is using it is "face in the sand" from dance of death

[Tdrummer888]

Why wernt u using the double bass kit I saw in the background? Lol good cover man.

[LarsLeeDrums]

great job

[WinterWineStudio]

Cool, although since you "squared up" the ride playing it kind of looses the groove the original has, which I believe is what makes the drum part so fun

[samiparisis]

Dude, what did you record with? The sound quality is brilliant! You have some really clean fills. You're very good dude! Enjoy it and don't worry.

[mardUk4ever1]

Pleasant to see !!!! Keep drumming dude !!! \m/ 

[krimdilakrim]

I can honestly say that 1. you are a conesuier of rock! and you have excelent tast in music.

[SebaChannel]

cant believe you have two drum sets

you are f*cking awesome, your cymbals sound amazing

[DrummerJake15]

Fucken rocking brother

[wonnorcakes]

this just prove's that u dont need a double bass kit

[pupetss]

spite that your version is not even close to the original bass drum and ride are very different, rescued the good sound you have congratulations

[Honzishek]

hey idiot Mcbraien use one foot pedal !!

[KillerKojak]

No double bass drum..no need,,,on this song...just do like Nicko live and studio...he play with a single pedal...!!

[TPS74TPS]

Why you have two drums????

You are good drummer but, you don't need two drums.

[colonelkermit]

@TPS74TPS why does it even matter? lol

[icepackz]

@TPS74TPS He can afford it thats why.

[StevenRNicholls]

Good job, but I would have love to have seen a shit load of intensity - like it's your last song ever lol. It's just such a rocking song!

[longhairedpunk1]

nice, but why do you smell your armpits at the end of each vid? lol

[patatedesofa]

great cover but why don't you use the double bass kit!

[EroticTofu]

@patatedesofa no double bass is used in iron maiden

[NUProductions4Music]

I would love to see an up-to-date version. Good job though.

[jeroentje323]

DUUUUDE this is one of the best drum covers along with machinegunsmith 's cover

i love this one more than machine's cover

UP THE IRONS

[SuperMETALLICAROCK]

you suck

listen the music you are wrong

[DeathXMetalXCraze]

@SuperMETALLICAROCK lmao i think he meant to make it his own way, it shows he knows how to play if he can add his own stuff and like chunkryry said make it his own.:p this is good. You also have no videos up so stfu n00b :] kthnxbai!

[MiniDrumsGuy]

[kevinxxxD]

[MrMachtmahr]

[imnotonsmack]

[ThrashinAIIAround]

[cheetosman45]

[larsjoeyjordison]

[ralphr3]

Nice cover bro! Great style! Didn't get to crazy with it., badass regardless though.

[DarkShadow482]

yea dude nobody cars about fills man your doing great and what chunkyryry said GO APESHIT ON THOSE FILLS also save some money for a double pedal man [=

[OZPerpetue]

@DarkShadow482 why would he need a double pedal, when he has got that amazing double bass drumset behind?

Just asking

Nice fills indeed

[DarkShadow482]

@OZPerpetue lol then he should use that one then xDD

[OZPerpetue]

@DarkShadow482 lol so true

[BedAndBreakfastSho]

good job i think the audio is like slightly out of sync or you camera cant record the video fast enough

[oliven666]

nice man!! i am going to play this on a consert on friday :DDD

[Bunters196]

Oh new cymbols since last time

[chinchan270]

ey budy the hcs meinl cymbals are good? cause im wanna buy one pack of them............answer please....,,

[xXDr00dXx]

Dude, you look like the only person on you tube who isn't struggling through this song. Very nice.

[TheElmo00]

wow nice fills

[TheElmo00]

wow nice fills

[zozarbuddies111]

what size is the meinl mcs crash on the far right?

great cover

[katiemayuiiik]

is the cymbal which says MCS on which you use the most throughout the song (in the middle of the right side the 16" crash or what? plz answer!!!

[thesteven1]

u got to use that kit behind you!! its maximum badass

[latino990]

hah fail

[tacticalboi]

I'm sorry but. OMFG THAT WAS EPIC !!!!!!!

[drumer111222]

still the same

[2010broproductionz]

dude that sounded sick

[TheMonkeyboy84]

@globaloiltrader No Nicko doesnt play it staright he play,s with some faster hits and so with some slower hits!! So search for this: Iron Maiden drum track only! =)

[hellow33nn]

sent well in the battery ..... up the iron !

[zellofhell]

PLZ USE THE DOUBLE BASS SET !

[GHstrike]

@zellofhell

Niko hates double bass and never uses it

[mangie222]

@zellofhell why would he use the double bass set for a single bass song?

[zellofhell]

@mangie222 no like for other songs lol because his been taunting us :)

[AnewBANDareHERE]

@zellofhell

you mean double kick

[DeathXMetalXCraze]

@AnewBANDareHERE i could of sworn it was called a double bass set... thats what it says on google, but fuck it im not a drummer :p

[SUPERCRAZYSAIF]

@zellofhell Nicko McBrain doesn't use a double bass pedal....

[MrCobra285]

@zellofhell Why would he use a double bass set when covering iron maiden??

[jtulloch02]

@MrCobra285 i dont want to be the asshole, but i dont get why everyone gets up in peoples faces for playing maiden with a double bass, sure Nicko doesnt use one, but not everyone is as good as Nicko, he has been playing drums for 30+ years, he is pretty good, this guy is a great drummer, who cares if he uses double bass, he is not nicko,

[NEOPHYTJUDAS]

@MrCobra285 That's because it is lot easier to play with the double kick. Kills the essence though.

[Firter]

@zellofhell

its his friend's, cant you understand it?

[globaloiltrader]

Good Playing however, your ride cymbal is way too busy. Nicko plays straight single notes, not a driving furious beat that your doing here...

[funky2406]

IMO i like his cymbal sound. It fills well plus it is "metal" sound, right for this song.

[Magnesiur]

@globaloiltrader No nicko plays like that he moves from the bow to the bell which gives the songs a distinct sound. When he played it on Flight 666 you could see him hitting it just like this except he moves to the bell.

[chunkyryry]

dont ever worry bout what fills you put where in a cover song. as long as the basic beat is right just go apeshit and make it your own otherwise it just feels boring. fuckin good job in any case and one of the best covers iv seen =]

[globaloiltrader]

very well worded! And your right, go apeshit and enjoy yourself!

[bigtarget9]

@chunkyryry but atleast one person has to do it right or else the true way to play the song will be lost over time

[cuz1529]

@chunkyryry any cover this guy does are fucken awesome..

[neonjagoan]

this is good, but It would be great if you use double pedals

[chunkyryry]

iron maiden never used a double bass lol

[neonjagoan]

upss i just know it by today

spechless for Nicko

[globaloiltrader]

I completely disagree about the double pedal thing...

[vilii91]

nice

[666Hassel666]

VEry Very Good..

Only one question.. why didn't you play with the drumset behind you?.. there mutch bigger and coller for Maiden songs;)

[anden971]

nicke work! keep it upp!

[eelsplayer8]

Overall, it was an average cover. Your toms and your ride sound nice, but you messed up on a lot of parts..

[dougman066]

thats good man. better than i could ever play! :)

[JJSmith111]

You rock dude! One of my all time favorite Maiden songs.

[BostonxSkate]

nice job man i learned this song last week or so and i really enjoy watching other people play it really helps me see what i need to improve on since ive only been playing for a couple weeks now great cover nontheless

[latino990]

wrong

[zgrauuQh77193XD]

Good !!!

[saifmehra272]

thanks to him, i have learnt this song in just 7 days. my first song. i am 14 years old. ive been playing for 10 days now. i guess ill upload a video when i fully learn it. thanks man. :D

[NUProductions4Music]

Overall good cover... Only thing missing was triplets on the kick... But other then that good cover.

[kevinisonfirehelp]

Awsome!!, nice drums in the background

[hobes9]

drums in the backround look tight dude, sweet cover

[drummerguy4321]

what skins do u use

cuz they sound great

[TheSchurtenberger]

nice workd dude ,i liiiiike it,,lol your a beginner nah , id dont thinks soo,,see me druming haha,,dthen u see a beginner

[drummerguy4321]

how do u get all your toms so close together is it the type of drum kit you've got

ps great vid

[hellbastard666]

@drummerguy4321 you can put all toms so close together, it doesn't depend on the type of drums.. you only have to test different heigths or angles.. just try =)

long time ago i had 5 toms in a line over my two bassdrums =D

[wowhero96bh]

youre relly god at drumms and i think if you show it up you can be sponsered and create a famus band :D

[ArtistIreland]

Well played.

[DinkyMax]

Nice sets of drums you've got there man!! Nice cover

[ubermoomer]

wow thats a real nice sound for that mcs ride

[TheSubdivisions]

I can't seem to get the fills in this song...lol I always do the fills that are in a different part or just mix it up.... NICE COVER DUDE! It is a hell of a song! lol 5*

[hotiecantbebeat]

nice drumming

[lirrisdrummer]

dude man keep on rockin¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

the orange drum kit that is background is it yours??????

[conge121]

i think he might be in a pro studio vbut it would be awesome if he used it
