[nasforatuzodd123]

Hell yea !!!!

[Gretgor666]

Zack's the man. Makes already awesome classics even more awesome.

[DrumsZackDrums]

@Gretgor666 hehe..

[eyeball3000FTW]

@DrumsZackDrums So do you write down the drum-set part for all your drum covers? Or is it just this one time?

[DrumsZackDrums]

@eyeball3000FTW Sometimes I do, some times I dont.. this song isnt that complex so I did it by heart..

[eyeball3000FTW]

@DrumsZackDrums Ah, true true. So when you write it out, do you write it out on pen and paper, or use an internet program?

[aiodiacho]

great double bass work, dude

[ThePesezzz]

IT'S AMAZING!!!

[Zloobko]

1:41  :)

[nauandrun]

fera voce em !!!!!

[DrumsZackDrums]

@nauandrun Thanks! \m/

[iibrett]

Wow, why haven't i see this one, it's so good.

[RotDSKyle07]

"Ninja Gaiden, No Sense in hidding, I ain't lying, I annihalate them all"

Who knows that song? :D

[JinxCreeper]

I think he's Portnoy and Mangini' s fan



[DrumsZackDrums]

@JinxCreeper More on the Mangini side.. I have tons of influences.. :D Mangini I would say outlines good time management and technique.. I kinda have an individual influence for all the different aspects of drumming.. :P

[JerkDouglas]

That's a pretty wild looking drumset. I like the idea though, rotating your torso 180 degrees in a split second to get at a floor tom on a traditional setup, is kind of asinine and inefficient.

[DrumsZackDrums]

@JerkDouglas yeah, and always in the same direction.. I got realy sick of always twisting to the right with the traditional set up.. Its so lopsided I cant believe its the standard sometimes..

[Khalirei]

I love all your videos, the only bad thing about them is the red walls.. they hurt my eyes after a while. =(

[DrumsZackDrums]

@Khalirei thanks! the red is carpet for sound insulation purposes.. its not going anywhere.. :P

[TeslaDRay]

do ninja gaiden 3!

[XOFlowerStarXO]

NINJA GAIDEN NES... I have no idea what this is but it sounds good as ever... keep it up!!!

[DrumsZackDrums]

@XOFlowerStarXO haha! thats cool.. :)

[Dominator007D]

It's a good thing that you did the stick point at the end.. I'm pretty sure it's the only "human" thing you do :D

[DrumsZackDrums]

@Dominator007D haha!

[radiosurgery]

Man that first groove is so smooth I love it

[DrumsZackDrums]

@radiosurgery Its a fun one!! 

[siege8171]

I find myself watching this movie daily, this cover is just so epic.

[DrumsZackDrums]

@siege8171 cool brotacular bro..

[kaylee932]

[askkfgg4]

[smileypie22000]

Awesome vids man. 

[DrumsZackDrums]

@smileypie22000 thanks bud!

[zeph311]

nostalgia? try nam flashbacks... this game was nintendo hard... makes me twitch remembering the blood, sweat, tears, and expletives...

[DrumsZackDrums]

@zeph311 haha! yeah, hardest game EVER!

[kartongen]

Awesome, I remember playing Ninja Gaiden as a kid. This bring back some good memories! Keep on rockin'! 

[DrumsZackDrums]

@kartongen Yep! this is NOSTALGIA to the max!!

[superpacmanz101]

AWESOME! :3

[DrumsZackDrums]

@superpacmanz101 DUDE!!

[Maestrp37388]

I gotta ask, do you like drive your whole family nuts tapping on, beating on or otherwise percussing shaking or stomping on random things around the house when you can't get to your drums?

[DrumsZackDrums]

@Maestrp37388 actually I dont tap on things very often.. I used to.. I think I can play the drums in my mind now.. Sometimes I figure out grooves just by thinking.. ;)

[Maestrp37388]

@DrumsZackDrums You know, it's funny, I'm starting to get that way on my instruments too, although there is still the happy accident when I am noodling around going "Whoa, that sounded cool, lemee try that again!"

[oloap772]

nice xd.. compliment

[orderlyqueue]

I have enjoyed every video I've found here so far, especially this one, one of my favourite games from my childhood, big respect to you.

A lack of megaman 1 + 2 though, not that the others arn't brilliant, it's just mm2 had some of the most awesome rock soundtracks ever, how can you miss flashman etc

5 star none the less! Excellent

[Maeserlein]

nice :-D

[Kruemel952]

Haha awesome! :) the end was great! :)

[IdolXfactor]

That was fun..... nicely done!!

[ardukar]

Great!

[fullmetalbg]

I bet it's harder for you to play the game than to play the drumtrack :D

[Xacutara147]

u got new drums? XD

[SilentMott]

I still think playing this song would be easier than beating that friggin game.

[Handfinished]

Man, put the links on the bottom of your video,I can´t actually click them because the timeline of the video covers them.

[cactuar123]

i just fell in love...:p

[dashkid204]

URE THE BEST DUDE what i like most about u though is u drum like a beast and u respond to ur feedback like a good youtuber :D

[reeread]

Zack, That is so jacked. It makes me happy. Really nice foot work!

[lastdayhere]

@reeread thanks for noticing that! :)

[soohyunfanz]

i have to agree, you have to make some shirts i can guarantee one thousand people will buy em. JUSTJSUTJUSTJUSJTUST MAKE A SHIRT THAT SAYS "Sup, watched zack yet?"

[lastdayhere]

@soohyunfanz haha good idea!

[CrownedDrag0n]

youre one of the few people that actually responds to the comments on your videos. thanks man. keep it up. i cant wait to see more!

[lastdayhere]

@CrownedDrag0n thats right! thanks!

[altairtoro]

estupendo,que gran calidad de trabajo,felicidades.

[lastdayhere]

@altairtoro gracias!

[JetSetTed]

Dude, sooo many hours spent playing this... I just recently watch the x-mas home video where I got it as a present, haha that was when I was like 4 or 5 years old... Im 22 now and still have not beaten that game damnit, haha

[JetSetTed]

@JetSetTed and yes... I still play it to this day, on my original NES... how it still works? I have no idea

[DrumsZackDrums]

@JetSetTed You got htat right.. I played this endlessly when I was about 10 or 12.. or 10 till 12 haha :P

[metifu]

FN AWESOME !

How about playing the one song in the level where is dark and flashes randomly. Its almost like a cemetery . Good drumming.

[DrumsZackDrums]

@metifu I think Ill work my way through this game.. ;) stay tuned!!

[flashpro62]

Absolutely love the new head on your snare, man! :D

[nocturchaos]

lol

[EnRouteSounds]

Any chance you could do a streets of rage cover? The boss battles were always funky to fight to. Epic skills as always, man.

[tsadrummer]

I have never seen a setup like yours, very original, but nice and clean job bro

[thesicilianguitarist]

Wow man... That was outstanding!!! I remember when that game came out. Everybody wanted it.... but this one nerd was able to get it before anyone. So all of a sudden he became cool for a couple of months....HA!

I'm not a drummer... but why did you play the whole song open handed? I'm just curious... is it to get around the kit easier?

Do you think you could do some "Double Dragon II" or "River City Ransom"? I enjoy your videos...hats off to you man!

[DrumsZackDrums]

@thesicilianguitarist Thanks a lot! About the open handed thing, Ive been using it more and more and its pretty much just to increase my coordination.. and of course open handed makes the entire kit much more accessible.. thanks for suggestions Ill look at them!! :D

[TheSmolderingfire]

I like your a 8 bit drum covers , but it wood be really cool if you could play anthraxs "caught in a mosh" keep it up!:)

[GuitarLessonSarasota]

great man!

[jmr2master]

COOL!

[softtriger]

thumbs up if he looks at you at 1:41!

This was mind blowing btw

[gregoriusPL]

You know mate, I was watching your vids for some time. Whenever I log in to the YT I hope there will be new upload from you. When there isn't anything new from you, I get upset, sometimes angry and hollow... I think.. I'm addicted to your vids... That is your fault!!!! You shouldn't make such awesome vids :-)) Cheers!!
