The Mile - Dead Letter Circus drum cover

[puremassacre9]

Nice cover, u got skills. U should check out my acoustic cover of the mile, my video has quite a large delay though.

[SwishaHouse7777]

i actually got to talk to luke william, he's pretty cool guy and awesome live, and very charismatic live

[paulhab12]

@SwishaHouse7777 same! he was great to talk to

[KingSevault]

That was spot freaking on

[djsilentt]

Awesome dude...



[fiskles17]

sooo goood

[cbree01]

such a good cover, nice man, hahah, and also, fuck the neighbours hahaha well done, keep em coming

[paulhab12]

I hope you have moved from the tiled room now!

[paulhab12]

i was thinking of you the other day cos of your karnivool covers and recomendation of DLC, i think i started listening to them cos of you back in 08. well im fucking hooked, my fave aussies. great cover!!

[stooge123454]

i want your top ! 

[russellsnuts]

no stick twirl at all would be good!!!! otherwise awesome man!!!!!

[shenuk]

omg, its luke williams in disguise!!!

[Millsey011]

extremely good cover man i thought it was so good i took the time to make a youtube account (finnaly :D) to give you feed back. i think you are so good and you should keep going.. thanks

[Drumpro712]

@Millsey011 thanks bro, means a lot :)

[Millsey011]

@Drumpro712 no prob. still havnt seen a better drummer covering on youtube yet :)

[laxation]

Any chance you would be able to record a 'how-to' of the bit from 2.10 onwards?

I can't get it...

[AlexLyons0410]

very tight paradiddles. your teacher should be proud. good work.

I would recommend backing off the frequent stick twirl; you give 'em too much and they just expect it from ya! Just give 'em a taste every now and again, and they'll scream for more!

Your on your way to being a very talented drummer.  Keep it up!

[Drumpro712]

@AlexLyons0410 thanks alex :) ha yeah too true, they were a bit spastic - its sad now though because i barely ever do them :P

[Dalbs85]

insane dude... very jealous

[pypline]

nice cover bro !

[SwishaHouse7777]

this is the better of the ep's but really they are both amazing, and this is one amazing drum cover. the drums were the best part of this song besides the vocals you just capitalized on the great song.

[Downloadmeinurheart]

wow dude not bad sound u got there. nice job,.

[Biggygeorge07]

Thats wicked Man!! I used to drum back in the day and i can see youve got real talent.

Rock on!!

[bradaust1n]

haha magic. i wish i could play drums. Progressive rock is te best.

[gethappy222]

wow :O

[JacobJamestattoo]

you shred !

[monkeywithsticks]

nice work, good songs, just your stick grip kinda bugs me a little bit, I think you're holding it too far back and your wrist is a bit sideways.

I used to do a similar thing with my wrists, Ive nearly fixed it, helps a lot with control. Just to keep the top of your hands facing 'down' in a more natural pos., so your wrist can move up & down in a natural pos. rather than side to side in a vertical pos. (which is a more painful way of playing a vertical stroke, and you have less control).

[phantomtalon556]

Fuckin oath dude, well done!

[sta0005]

1:16 is AWESOME

[7bird66]

Man, two vids in a row and I think I better stop before your ass gives me a heart attack.

The messy acoustics really work in this vid.

[mkitch]

awesome dude

[boecke91]

There isn't enough stick tricks in this vid

[bashhsock]

Good cover man and nice as kit

[TeddyPicker69]

big thumbs up.

[ph963]

damn good job. but as 'the Syringe' said your missing some 16th notes on the bass. Nice kit too. :)

[theSyringe]

You are missing some 16th notes on the bassdrum but a pretty good job overall!

[drummingdude92]

awesome job man! my band has had the chance of playing with dead letter circus and man, was the best experience ever! heaps good cover

[trentz0r]

Love the drumming in this song and you've done it justice! Nice work!

Seeing them tomorrow night, gunna be a fucking ripper!

[MissAmandaaaaa]

go you good thing :P

[kittuisthebest]

whoahh ur insane XD

in the good way :)

[Jukeus94]

i used to get taught by luke williams (the drummer in this band) soooooo good

[SpencerOwnsYou]

infact he said i was like the forth person to listen to the song n he gave me his cd before it even went into production. but i lost it so i was pissed but yeah nice bloke

[SpencerOwnsYou]

yeah he was my drum teacher for like 4years before he joined dead letter circus

but he never changed. but he had to move to sydney so it was a shame but i think hes been doing some indian drumming thing now so look him up on youtube : scott davey n it should come up with something indian or something like that

[SpencerOwnsYou]

my drum teacher was a little better

his name was scott davey and he wrote the drums to this song and was in dead letter circus up until last year when he had to move to sydney

i used to have lessons at the old burleigh theartre arcade up on the gold coast and he was the best drum teacher i ever had

thanks josh

[Drumpro712]

nice... would have been good to meet him

[SpencerOwnsYou]

but still a really really good cover of the song i should have added.

[SpencerOwnsYou]

@Drumpro712 hey man, i was just looking at some old videos and found this one; after re-reading my comment above it sounds extremely rude and i dont no what i was thinking at the time. the drum cover above is extremely good, you have awsome skills and i love ur kit, im sorry if i sounded rude by any means.

josh

[Drumpro712]

@SpencerOwnsYou nah no worries man, dunno what your talking about :) thanks for the kind words

[lachuek]

[Childofarctica]

[underfire89]

are those V cut outs on your cymbals like that for better sound?

[Drumpro712]

haha nah ther to make sure they didn't crack any further coz they both had cracks

[underfire89]

alright i wasnt sure cause there are some weird ways for them to sound better.....some have a bunch of holes and such not in them

[Benniebens]

I m laughing as a stupid at 11 15 pm at home while my family sleeps or try cos of my laughters..u man are awesome, it s so good that scares me a lot...why so good, wow

[SnowdemonX]

[jkugez]

Fuck yeah josh, i knew you were good, but now i know your a fucken gun... good stuff dude

John

[eloiseloiseloise]

Amazing!

I met dead letter circus once when they played in my town and I told the drummer he was one of my main sources of inspiration.

And man, watching this motivated me even more.

[justkit09]

josh you are insane.

i love it. great job.

=]

[giginahri]

dude u are seriously awsom

[joshmiller7]

Nice work dude! I can only dream of playing that song haha. Dead letter circus are a saaaweet band too

[bennieboy1395]

*drools* nice cover love DLC, Cog, Karnivool and The Butterfly effect awesome Aussie bands, I want your tee-shirt haha

[comicfan444]

best cover ive heard of DLC . sweet kit aswell. your awesome keep it up man.

[drumfridgy]

Nice cover mate do some butterfly effect

[simon1313714]

the fills at 2;20 are sweet. they sound kinda hard on the recording of the song. you nailed it. only thing that annoyed me was that you kept throwing your stick around. whatev.

[laxation]

that is so intense... so dam intense!

if DLC drummer decided to go with melodyssey full time, or vice versa - they should just call you up to fill the spot!

[WeKnowYoureThere]

Super job man. Need to replace your skins though. DLC rock. YOU ROCK! Peace bro

[Drumpro712]

thanks man

what skins do you suggest?

[WeKnowYoureThere]

If you dig that open sound on your toms, then i suggest the G2 Evans heads with no coating. G2's are a little more focused than the G1's. Possibly a Power Centre batter for the snare. G-Mad for the kick. Your local store should sell them all. I used to be a REMO bitch but went with G2's and never looked back.

Dude, you seriously rock. Old skins or not.

Peace, Calis

[growupmate]

very very nice. never missed a fill.

im drooling over your kit dude, what kind is it? just replace the skins :P

[moO0OoO0Oo]

awesome..

[SonicTekniques]

Very cool to watch. Great technique

[Shadocat]

Wow man, you're really good. I watched a few of your covers and they're all sweet. Great choice in music. I see you like Saosin, you should do some of their songs. Alex Rodriguez is an amazing drummer and has some really unique beats.

Anyway man, keep it up!

[IIAxelar8II]

haha i saw DLC live friday ! it was sick as, at the loxton hotel, it was wicked as, they are way better live. dude this is the best, i'm learning this song for my year 10 music :) and i'm going to be using this video to learn it. Your an amazing drummer as i have said many times before this.

[Drumpro712]

wow... thanks man, it means a lot to hear that from someone. i'm actually in year 10 as well but i don't do music anymore coz it was crap at our school - but - im doing it in year 11 and 12 so yay

im sure ur teacher will like it, this song is awesome

gud luck ay

josh

[IIAxelar8II]

haha i'm actually in year 9 at the moment, but i'm planning my songs early, so i'm not caught by surprise haha... i have a question though, is there any chance of a video of how you played the bit from 2:11 until 2:34? because that's the only bit i can interpret, i think your too good :P haha.

Alex.

[nbullis1]

great job on the cover!

[pweidmann]

its not all about getting the right notes and shit

you have to look enthusiastic...

[Drumpro712]

sorry bro ;P il make sure i drink some V or sumtin before haha

[gothakat]

What a mad dude!!

Don't forget to catch DLC on tour..as of tomorrow actually.

[Drumpro712]

haha i wish... im under 18 hahaha damm

[gothakat]

That sucks. I know Luke, the drummer. You a fan of him? I wonder if he has seen this video. I should recommend it, haha.

[Drumpro712]

[sarahtherocker]

Dead Letter Circus rock!

And so do you lol.

[miffylicious]

[Thekrutch08]

Man i've seen these guys twice live and you just kicked the shit outta of them haha awesome!!!

[Marto1321]

theres no way anyone can kick the shit out of DLC, i mean the drummer is not only the drummer for DLC but he played with the band melodesy. i mean this dude is good but DLC is better. well done kid you rock

[Cuzjudd]

Immaculate timing, technique and being able to play the songs note for note. You are a fucking gun.

[Pizz0]

nice drummin man AWSOME..

[slipknotfan22511]

[Drumpro712]

hahaha... kk thanks

[madzzz1107]

I loveee This song and drum solo. It's AMAZING! =D

[KHSproductions]

Very nice. DLC is killer live act.

[KHSproductions]

My band supported DLC back in April last year. I was blown away instantly. Their EP spent at least 6 months in my CD player.

[Drumpro712]

woah man u supported dlc?? thats awesome. ther ep has dominated my itunes since i put it in ther, iv only liestened to the mile 271 times since the start of the year lol

[KHSproductions]

We played with them in Newcastle and at the time DLC were pretty much unknown, There was like a crowd of about 8 people for them but I'm pretty sure every one who was there bought a cd. It was such an awesome show. Nice drumming chops dude.

[benardy]

you should do fear of the sky by karnivool dude..... that would be dope. can you play any of cogs stuff?

[Drumpro712]

hey man

yea actually fots is next in line lol, im just polishing it up shld be up soon hopefully. im also hoping to upload anarchy ok and the spine by cog so ill show u wen i do

[benardy]

oh sweet man. anarchy ok would be pretty hard i bet. i managed to perfect the verse beat/ jungle groove in the river song. the bass parts really threw me off.

[Drumpro712]

sweet i love that song gud work on learning it. video it and put it up on youtube i wana see it!

[dragon2712]

Love this vid. Thanks for showing me how to play it :) so great to see covers of great aussie acts!

[Premoemo]

you have the best taste in music ever!!!

[jkugez]

hey man its mike kugel. i swear as soon as i get the chance ill learn some of these songs and we should jam them

[crashvirus]

Woo! seeing DLC and .hinge tonight at the Annandale!!!

[Drumpro712]

lucccccckyyy!! i wuld b going but im under 18!!! :[ lol

[crashvirus]

Annandale doesn't check ID's. Just go and bluff your way in next time you want to see someone there :)

Kim said they're aiming for a september release of the album, the 2 new songs they played sounded pretty good... He seems to think he is Kenny from Karnivool though with his stage antics. And Stewie think's he's Luke from Cog. They videoed the show though.

[Drumpro712]

lol dude i wuld try the bluffy thing but i wuld only just pass as a 15 year old as i am. if i said i was 18 they wuld just laugh haha

but yea im still holding out for an all ages show i actually saw them supporting cog with hinge at the metro theatre

[Destrucwhore]

ur 15, that awesome i no 19 yr olds that are completely shit compared to u. lol

[defixioN]

Before this I didn't know about Dead Letter Circus. Good song and once again you rock!

[Drumpro712]

lol thanks man im glad i dead letter circified you haha

[westhoff4ever]

i learnt this on the drums as well..... your heaps good!!!

[TEMBYJNR2002]

Sensational :)

[jodes85]

That was excellent!Nice work!!

Id like to see you attempt the butterfly effect or cog

that would be awesome!!

[Drumpro712]

yea that wuld b good i like the spine i mite try that soon

[Sephiroth1391]

Great cover! It's awesome that you cover good bands like Breaking Benjamin, Karnivool, and Dead Letter Circus. Keep up the great work!!

[artinem]

in the verses, hit the China on the accents.

awesome work tho.

[wazza712]

This is great - DLC should be seeking you out the next time they change drummers (they do that!) The fact that you are only 15 may present some problems though. In any case, you will be too busy doing guest appearances with Karnivool!!

You are really developing your own style with these covers and no matter what your detractors pick on, I think you are fantastic or your age and limited drumming experience

[miniknuckey]

Dude, it's great to see you covering some really quality up-and-coming music. Definitely will be looking for your face in the music scene in the years to come!
