Scott, bro.... you are the best fucking drummer I have fucking seen. I am impressed with your speed, technique, and accuracy. Your one-handed tom rolls are incredible. I must say, I have never heard a drummer quite as good as you. You could come and help me start a band any day of the week.
Lol. I thought the Killswitch Engage version was awesome, I even didn't know that this version was the original.. This version is fucking SO MUCH BETTER.
I play drums, so I first came upon this video hoping to learn a thing or two about this song (one of my favorites) by watching it in person.
...Holy shit, this is like trying to learn how to drive a car from watching an astronaut pilot the Space Shuttle. The more I watch 3:37 to 3:40, the more I'm convinced it's not possible to do what he's doing.
excelnete nos emucho de tocar la bateria pero realmente se escucha muy bien, me gustaria q un dia vinieras a mexico para unas demostraciones seria excelnte tener tu talento aqui,
This is some good stuff. I ran across you when I was looking for some queensryche videos and was thinking to myself I bet this guy is a hack, Boy was I wrong. My three favorite Drummers are Neil Peart, Scott Rockenfeld and Cozy Powell, And you covered 2, Now do some Cozy.
Dude, watching you is a real treat. I even have my 10 year old daughter who thinks she might wanna be a drummer one day watching you to learn what it's all about.
by far the best I cover I could find of Holy Diver. I was looking for someone actually playing the drums just like the original. The drums on the original recording have a special feel/soul to it, that's missing in a lot of these cover videos. But yours was the closest.
Machinegun that was awesome. I would like to see you drum archiles last stand by zeppelin. I know you do more of the heavy metal, but I'm sure bonham influenced you to some degree. thanks and I will be looking for it. chow
I have to disagree with the killswitch version in some way being a better version to play. The version that gun plays accents the hat and the dblbass and the fills are just sick. Kill switch may add their own twist....but my vote is on gun's drummin. Good job as usual.
hi how your doing, i just wannted to ask something is drumset acoustic or electric, the cymbals seem a liitle not metal(sry if im wrong i just wanted to now(i dont say these as a bad comment actually your awesome i was just in doubt) ty :)
I like your covers very much, the pantera - cowboys from hell cover was very impressive and helped me learn the song brilliantly :) but have you got an acoustic kit? Doing covers on electric kits does not show off your real talent? XD
Hey Man, I was hoping you'd have a Dio Cover on here. You are by far the best technical Reproducer of Percussion on ere. RIP ronnie. Hope ya watchin this guy while all those fool's sail away. Respect!
Hey can you add mobile playback. I really wanted to show some of my peps this vid at work, but need to have mobile playback. Thanks.
