"Foo Fighters" "Rope" on Drums - Wasting Light

[tuberinoid]

Kick drum sounds phat! Do you put a pillow or something inside? I'm trying to get that sound but I can't decide if it's the head, kicker head, or my insulation.

[itsmark101]

2:59 is the best part of the whole cover

[AnnaTheMuseFreak]

I love how all drummers, including myself, have such good music taste.

[MrProdigyDrummer]

Awesome cover. Best thing is that you don't take it so seriously, looks like you are just doing it for enjoyment. Awesome :)

[Bopkins14]

@jackass739 i do love banging on those drums :) thanks

[oN1NJ4o]

can you detail me what you use to record please? ie, mic's, mixer and things like that.

[Bopkins14]

@oN1NJ4o i'm using a presonus firepod, Cubase to record, sure mics on the drums, and using a few techniques i've learned to mix the drums. Thanks

[Deboraghghghgh]

ha oh man, i like your face expressions while your drumming. awesome cover man!

[jw1487]

Dang, man. I've recorded drums on a few CDs myself, and I gotta tell you - I've never heard anybody so dead on - consistently.

If you put a click track on this, you'd nail it the entire song. That's pretty rare. Studios take 3 or 4 takes and splice the parts. You could send this bad boy to the 'printers' in one clean take. Props to you my friend.

Stay Thirsty.

[mattmomant2004]

Before it was even released, critics commented on how much the new Foo Fighter's single "Rope" sounded like Rush. When interviewed by MTV, Taylor Hawkins stated that when approaching the drums on this record he "threw a Neil Peart [pronounced Pert] lick in" and goes on to say "I owe Neil Peart a lot of money for the chorus of 'Rope'. I'm splitting my royalties on that song with Neil Peart."
