Hawaii Five-O Drum Cover

[kungfuninja55]

Awesome. This is my favorite show. I often take inspiratiin from the funky drum grooves in the background music of the show. That kind of stuff is fun to play and sound really cool.

[FLStormChaser]

Excellent job! Nice fills, smooth all around. I am learning this song on my set.

[lugator]

what a nice fills, dude you have a nice drumming technique, congratulations

[balot28ify]

[OLIVERBOOTH1]

[91freerider19]

hey, 4/5 * performance, the only thing that was missing were a few semi-fills at the begginning... other than that really good job!

[JEFFYB0B]

[Pagra101]

School of Rock brought me here

[nastynash96]

[Pagra101]

@nastynash96 Jack Black asks Freddy Jones if he'd seen the show and the amazing solo

[rduffy338]

This is TIGHT!! So good, also loving the traditional grip! One of a few who I've seen use it! Keep it up :D

Very good! Am I crazy or does the original version have a kettle drum at the opening?

[smtti32]

[worldofdrumz]

I just thought of doing this song myself...and wanted to see if any drummers have covered it. Nice Job!!

[smtti32]

Thanks!! It's a fun one to cover!!

[johno01970]

[1SouthernDeathCult1]

yours is way better than the original except for the intro I like the tv version of the intro with the tom toms and the drum roll about 5 seconds in

[smtti32]

thanks!!

[SupervillainHost]

Hey Smitty, I've been viewing this video a lot, but never commented.

It's time for a new, updated Hawaii Five-O with your drumming! Forget Dan-O! Book em' Smitty!!

[5150hs]

I keep coming back to your video. I'm hooked on your sound. Do you play in any bands or have you put out any music that we can buy? I would pay, sip some suds, and totaly relax while listening to do your thing. Awesome!! BTW, I got a friend hooked on this video too.

[smtti32]

Thanks so much. I'm very flattered. I do play in a band but its a temporary, once a month thing right now. I still have alot to catch up with my playing. Appreciate your views!!

Smitty

[smtti32]

[ZaLalo]

That's awesome, finally someone who can play it!

[smtti32]

Thanks man!!

[RIGGS1220]

You DO NOT FAIL to amaze me every time I watch this video. I was wondering if you can do it again with the camera on top---showing how you pound on the drums. Great great drumming!!

[cyberclay]

5 stars for your drum`s work!!!!!

[smtti32]

Thanks man!!

[mrTooKanSam]

[nextpaintball]

BEAUTIFUL

[nextpaintball]

I luv that show too, the best detective show ever

[jayman1117]

HOLY FUCK!!!!!

you're so good, i wish i was that good good at drumming (which i will be cuz i'm still taking lessons, at intermediate level of course) anyway, will you PLEASE post a video teaching me (and others) how to do that!!!!!!!!

thanks

[nextpaintball]

I play the drums just like you eh, my school band is playing it, but u make it seem so much better...

[hiroguam]

I am looking forward to seeing "Shine a Light" the new doc chronology about The Stones tours. Charlie Watts has always been a rather muted and silent figure on the Stone's stage perfomances.What is your opinion of him and do you recall any number that made him seem less of set decoration? I call recall "Paint it Black" and "Honky Tonk Women" off the top of my head.But what do you think is his most mememorable song? Iron Butterfly had a long drum solo (20 min).Did you here or even care for it?

[smtti32]

I'll send you a regular message.i can respond in 500 or less......Smitty

[smtti32]

Thank-you.Yes ,I have a couple of vids up with other covers.

[hiroguam]

Smitty I'm wondering if on the Columbia Records version of TV intro if they were using kettle drums or some other heavy drum,especially on those initial rolls.

[smtti32]

Yes they were. Timpanis were used. It's 2 separate parts actually. Great tune huh?

[lordtornsocks]

Hello again Smitty, I hope you realise my previous comment was in jest. However, could you have combed your forelocks into a JL quiff and rotated before commencing. PS I enjoyed your drumming, do you get on well with your neighbors?

[smtti32]

Thank-you. Yes I did realize the jest. Found it quite amusing. Neighbors cant hear a peep!Please stop by anytime and I hope one day you can get your socks mended......Smitty

[smtti32]

Thanks.

[lordtornsocks]

I appreciate that the ear defenders are to prevent long term ear-hole damage, but what about younger viewers, who may conclude that you don't listen to your own sound. For the final take you should remove the ear defenders.

[smtti32]

Point well taken. Mine are the kind in which you may hear both. Thanks for your comment.

[mp3kh3]

Many drummers like Virgil Donati ( the best ) use the left hand ( old style ) .Very Nice My friend!!Keep on Rockin'.Muchos bateristas como virgil donati ( el mejor ) usan su mano izquierda ( al viejo estilo ) .Muy bien amigo!!Sigue Rockeando!!

[smtti32]

Thank-you. Appreciate the comment.

[Ceddy17]

Very Nice !

Left hand old style ?

Well Done !

[smtti32]

Thank-you!! Yes, traditional grip on the left. It's just easier for me.

[GEXUX]

[smtti32]

Thanks for the comment!! I appreciate it!

[Psycho9263]

[smtti32]

You're right. That would be awesome!!

[mikej39565]
