Incubus- Megalomaniac drum cover

[lyncon11]

You must like barker alot

[a7xdude87]

I reckon yes you maybe doing a little too much, but it's mainly the mic thats letting the cover down, the symbols sound aweful on the mic. Is the song just being played in the room? The drums are far too overpowering to the music volume.

I mean to those saying he's doing a little too much, Cobus does more than necessary but it doesn't matter as the song is being fed through the pc so it sounds much cleaner.

At the end of the day, you have skill, but just need a better recording setup.

[chivalyn08]

not quite good..

[maciejtocha]

Man i dont care if u wear a shirt no shirt or a fuckin dress that is a sick sick cover and mad skills man, amazing you can drum like that

[MrDrewboy80]

I think you are f*cking amazing. I dont agree with comment about overdoing entirely. You are show range of texture. The point of covering isnt exactly duplicating but offereing different aspects. I love the wood block accents and tom work.

[rafdigital]

relax a little

[Ryan03844]

put a shirt on!

[Ebamber3]

if this were a drum solo it would be good

but as a beat I think you're complicating it too much

even travis barker doesn't hit as many drums and cymbals in his drum beats as you

[knjnrpap]

overplayed.. Sorry dude... Buy more lessons instead of more kit.

[spideyalex90]

good but change the head on your snare sounds like a trash bag

[DrivenBlack]

fuck dude...............

[rideride02]

perfect cover!

[RobbieMcDougall]

Very Stuart Copland esque... I like :)

[karmaofgood]

you seriously need to be in a band man lol.

[oJessy]

Excellent!

[juanbarros88]

can you do Trim by John Scofield please? or Kicker by chick corea

[JoeRocksP]

you do incubus proud :o

[Snoappia]

Amazing cymbal work, just as good as Jose Pasillas!

Keep up the good work :)

[REF1234567]

Man, awesome sense of tact...nearly perfect!

[rideride02]

sounds good.but how the hell do u get out from the drum set??lol

[marlonninvinicius]

Very good man! I'm a brazilian drummer and i liked of your performance. Me perdoe se tiver escrito alguma coisa errada!!!

[TwentyThree88]

thats great man good job

[thedrmrgrl]

dude it doesnt matter what anyones says that was off the hook. so what if theres extras whats the point of even doing a cover if your just going to do it exactly the same. you have to put your own feel to it. anyways that was awesome and incubus happens to be my favorite band. keep up the good work!

[xxYouDontGetItxx]

epic

[dounuteldr]

amazing dude!

[blablaablaify]

Dude you rock man! How did you learn to drum like this? really like your style. What kind of music do you mostly play along with?

[503smoker]

do the world a favour and become a jazz drummer

[Drumlinek29]

Awesome drum cover for me, great work!

[Patrickhamilton]

Good... bit too much.. why crash on that pretty gross sounding ride?

[drummerzachb888]

the beats not quite right mate

[Iamnoobtube]

All you need are some mics to make it really sound good

[brandonvudz]

too many extras..like the snares in the intro part..it dont have to play like in double

tapping..but its a nice one,,,ur good

[Rma131]

ni but I didnt like the adds

[eskimodrummer123]

Too much you added in, takes away so much dynamics. Try fewer and you'll be away

[Robotslayer]

lets see how many drum we can hit in a bar

[marcmachts]

great action, drummers are gods of all instruments

[ProjectMcJ]

a bit overdone, sorry mate...

[soonerman94]

nice kit

[r3n3gade420]

dude you have serious skills , nice cover

[DoubleBass94]

Zildjian+Sabian in the same kit?!??!

Nice cover

[aseriousoffender]

so?

[EpoXy05]

nice playing and take on the song, your ride doesnt seem to fit in with the rest of your cymbals, sound more like a gong at times. About time to replace that snare head though

[wingeddemon5807]

massive kit

[Aydinat0r]

sickkkk

[wtfjedlili]

it was great. i loved listening to it. the guy is awesome. stop hating.

[michelleperez15]

your going to fast the song has a slower tempo

[MikeRdrums311]

your good... but your doing too much. stop trying to show off, it kills the song

[soonerman94]

agreed

[jeffhardymattrey]

@MikeRdrums311

seriously... it looks like he has ADD ^^ lol (no offense)

although it would sound kick-ass as a solo :P

[carlosalfonsoamores]

@MikeRdrums311 It's okay to do much if it fits the song properly. . Hehe. :))

[BenLikesTurtles]

@MikeRdrums311 Thats why i hate travis barker, its the same thing, overplaying.

[Budhablunt]

i thought only Nerds listened to incubus

[soonerman94]

fuck you

[Floatsforlife]

i love how the china sounds! awesome!

[frango777]

GEEK

[frango777]

NERD

[tenisplayer]

dammm doble bombo

[sire234]

you nailed the beat for the verse

[snarplaya]

That ride sounds like an old Zildjian ZBT Plus...

[Offensus]

even though its not right, all the embellishments are mint, nice cover :)

[Astr0hxc]

NEEDS MORE COWBELL HOMES!

[barackobamayomama]

good

[Robertv]

Awesome cover dude, you make it look so easy. Just don't like the sound of the lowest cymbal (not very familiar with the terms). Just sounds a bit to much like a gong to me.

[Patrickhamilton]

Fantastic. Cowbell was fucking cool here.

[BREAKTHECODE2222009]

FUCKING SICK BRO!!!!!

[pisflea]

awesome work bro, but i just don't like how that ride of yours sound :S

[Pork091]

im lovin all your work. especially how every video, your drumset is in a different location haha. whats the deal with that?

[LolSTEEL]

You beasted that song haha.

[ewest121]

man you rock!!! badass playing!!

[Gorgonsmasher]

do you think sabians are better than zildjian

[snotman40]

you don't suck

[renatoapart]

great cover! I like it, very original!

[theclumpbetween9]

Your a fan of josh freese aren't you

[Kochopsticks11]

more cowbell

[Plazma360]

spoiling the beat a bit by making it too complicating it. good tech thou.

[chad3225698]

damn, I bet this guy can play this song with triggered, 13" thick, extra soft pillows. hands doown...

[dillon3194]

my favorite cover you have! think ill watch it again.

[matabe182]

jeez, i hope deedlebag wont copy this,its too great for him!, greattttttttt cover!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!

[rixXx182]

do you think your ride cymbal is a crash-ride? it really fucked your cover, a drummer must know that isn't good to change all the sense of the song, i think you must show us better technique and less rudements

[erkal14]

i fuck your ride cymbal

[looser31]

your box sounds weird, and you uses too much perifericals during the verse, but its a nice cover! ;D

[thijssino123]

daaamn dit is vermoeiend gek, zoveel versieringen ensow, verpest t liedje

[butlerKNOWSall]

speak english, you fucking communist.

[NiekG]

lol you fucking box-minded asshole.. you really think all languages other than english are from a communist country? dickhead.

[bobesdrumskill]

what's your snare drum head have written on it... "SNARE HEAD"???

[IceVanManYamY]

i think its "FUCK THIS SNARE HEAD"

[Sammyson0313]

I'm Assuming You Were In A School Band.

That's What It Sound's Like When You Play This Song,

[remarpoli]

you're great... all of your cymbals were branded..

you must be rich... and got talent

[losingiswinning]

You definitely give jose a run for his money

[mumixam9]

ur hitting all over!! its nice to watch!! nice !

[a7xfan101390]

dude what kind of camera do you have to record your videos ive alwasy wanted to put some up but i have no idea where to start

[gagvcannibal]

good job dude.. and nice drum-kit! keep rock'

[RedeemerRed]

You're awesome, great job.

But my OCD is a little surgey cuz you have both Sabian and Zildjian cymbals hehe. Anyways, great job, you rock.

[liabrego]

[mgaodo]

[LUVBUZZ232]

[winnerbaby44]

gotta love the splash work

[DrCastanha]

Very nice musician !!!!

Buenisimo !!!

[ralphtalkin14]

what can I say (whoooooooooah)

[fredrockzTV]

Awesome, this guy's like a machine :)

[ShinsengumiTriad]

whoa! are you kidding me? this drum cover is great!

[JmanSanchez]

holy shit man. i am not even gonna lie that was fucking amazing. great control and rythm. you actualy kept up with the song in perfect harmony. i give you 5 stars man

[stebbi666]

f#"!in awesome ;) 5/5

[lauralation]

that snares amazing sounding.

[ferdi0322]

NICE JOB DUDE!!!

[canivasd]

five stars

[saucey2438]

Very skilled, but too busy man.

[eyz2008]

hey, i dnt know much about drums but i wish i can play like dat:) cool, so good...keep it up!

[DrummerDanny92]

ur prolly my favorite drummer on youtube, u dont ussually find custom covers that are this good, im not tryin to say im better er nuthin but these ppl bitchin in previous comments are just mad cuz they cant do that, keep it up

[ralfhimself]

i dont know why everyone always got bad things to say about ppl posting videos... yer a wicket drummer by!, and everyone, its called a drum cover thats why hes adding in all these things, cymbals, triplets, jam blocks.... lol keep it up dude!

[SARKISCARLOS]

joder demasiado arrecho tienes futuro ............... y ese baterista es un huevo el del grupo passillas

[rickhamlet]

too much...lessen up on the the wood blocks, all the triplets with the double kick.

[proskaterdude]

I don`t know... you are good ok... but you have to learn that sometimes less ir more

[cason91]

Amazing Work. I agree w/ xalivin in that there's way too many cymbols and everything else you could find. Don't get me wrong as a drummer I know Jose Pasillas is all over the place, and you've definately got that covered. Maybe just not SO all over the place. Keep it tight. (I guess is what I was trying to get across)((Family Guy reference)).

[guachinheadband]

muy bueno...

[guachinheadband]

impresionante...

[xalivin]

Cymbals are their to add effects and blasts into a song and port. If you use them too often this effect will cease and it sounds like a piece of crap. and that's what you did to the song. I am not saying you are a bad drummer, I just saying you fucked it up, by doing the cymbal thing and by shakin around in time...

[myles4444]

your an amazing f**kin drummer!!

just ease up on being so busy

[Vvick727]

hey, whats the cymbal under your sabian AAX crash?

kinda sounds like a china?

[VG92]

very good, but i think u overdid it on the verse

[F2E3]

i think those are chop sticks

[hitler421]

does anyone know what sticks are he using? are those zildjians?

[ryulovesyou]

quite good.

my friend did this for a young musician of the year competition in third year.

[asdithgedf]

nice job, the ride in the chorus isnt right i dont think, but you sounded great anyways.

[jwpind1s]

Okay, no he shouldn't replace Jose...but seriously, absolutely amazing cover. Why in the hell would you want to watch a beat for beat cover of a song? If you wanted to do that then look up Jose doing it. "beatsforyou1"- People like you need to find something better to do, or maybe you should just shut up and post ur' own video on youtube.

[offspring886]

holly shit!!

[LiteGrenadz]

i just got my first piccolo tom today and i kept playing this song, and a little bit of bob marely of course!

[jplfc04]

beatsforyou1 has it ever occured to you that hes adding his own shit you dont have to fucking play everything the same and to me it sounds damn good so go fuck yourself

[beatsforyou1]

Ahaha to whoever said this guy should replace Jose...this guy sucks...he's way too busy, just for the sake of being busy. It's hard to listen to. What's with you hitting the ride in the chorus? Listen to the song and insert coin to play again.

[Fusionhawk4]

If you think it's wrong then how about you upload a video of yourself showing how to play it right? I think Donovan nailed it 100%!

[kylebh10]

damn man, you should replace their drummer

[LiteGrenadz]

try Pendulous Threads lol

[meench09]

haha woooow i cant imagine.

[undertalgo]

you're way better than jose... awesome version

[meench09]

what?!! haha alright keep thinking that..he's good and all but you cant just assume he's better than the guy who came up with this beat.

[datommaster]

you make it look so easy O_O :(.

[theheritic209]

the song u should is New Skin or Prabola

[undertalgo]

yeah, i've tell him to do new skin like two month ago, please do it...

[drustakel]

those 2 songs i was looking for, cause he does Tool and Incubus. this guy drumming really kicks ass!

[Drummer0828]

man .. thats not f*cking dream theater ... thats an incubus song ... i think u play awesome .. but the song is simple... you make the song heavy with all the hits and the multiple strokes ... the more hits per second doesnt make a good drummer

[Pagodecombatata]

very nice man!

u plays very well....

but..I think..if u wanna do a cover...u must play like a original drumer...

I saw your video waiting to learn how to play the music,,,and I did not learn it. I just saw a very good drumer playing

[theheritic209]

simply incredible, xD one of my favorite incubus songs. excellent cover dude.

[playersteviec]

hes playin it wrong hahahahahah

[FunkyDevil909]

u are a retard playersteviec. The guy is improvising, and he's doing a freakin good job of it too. Only the rhythmically inclined can do that..

[playersteviec]

fair enough but like i think a cover should consist of you playing the actual song,well thats only my opion but like i hafta say hes good and all that but i would have liked just the original

[goldmember0072001]

now that is called TALENT

[dwoodard50]

Fucking awesome, i'd have to say you keep that up, you'll be better than Jose Pasillas, maybe even comparable to Jimmy Chamberlin(who's like 10X better than Jose).

[elhepp]

great great..

[M4ki]

xD nice

[hanamako]

fantastic

[rocktool69]

NIce!!

[stubvdub]

Great drummer dude love your style cool it on the fillers somtimes keeeping it simple still sounds amazing

[SkiflyerDenney]

that's it. im subscribing. absolutly amazing. im an Incubus FREAK and u NAILED it. spectacular job my rythmicly gifted friend.

[Pranikki1]

Now that's talent...u rock man, lovin ur style.

[tiffster231]

My brother, I love that you overplayed this song -- it rocks! You played the heck out of it. Very impressive and so much fun to watch!  xoxo T

[Tanissnake]

That couldnt be teached. You're born with that skill man

[AlxRo66]

I love your style! How long have you been drumming?

[thomassmith18]

Nice kit. Nice style.

[Jrock308]

nice work,

[madmaxxxwell]

put a shirt on you tool shed.

[B3RsEk]

really impressive :)

[fryeman2005]

nice touches with the song, u've got some good jazz drumming style, something thats not common anymore

[superchanneljim]

wait till you start playing gigs you will only want to play on a 4 piece with 3 cymbals!

[geraldv3]

he does play gigs and he brings his whole kit

[Hundur12]

Well he has a good touch but that dosent change the fact that the song isint playd like that, he buts in a lot of extra stuff that i dont like ..just my oppinion.

[seanwan30]

thats why nobody likes u....this guy kicks ass

[Fraggyfanek]

nice. in fact, awesome.

[guitarlicker]

ive never heard this song but i think its your own style right?anyway nice playing

[blountation]

fucking love watching all your covers man, there really good. i play alot o incubus on guitar and its refreshing to see an awesome tigt drummer playing incubus

[KiernanMooney]

He doesn't.

you over due it
