[jockethebastard]

Why is it pitched down until the last couple of seconds?

[diegolazo100]

Hi man, I greeting you from Chile...I have a question for you, what is the cymbal you have and use in this song? is up the ride! Cheers and congratulations!!

[theoneandonlyMoPS]

@diegolazo100 read the other comments...its a paiste 302 hi hat top with a totally ripped splash beneath it!!!

[MrGiygas]

You are awesome bro!

[Poowis]

Gaaaah left handed drumming creeps me out. But my god was this good. I gotta ask three things:

That little 302 that you've crafted into a trash, did that used to be the hat or the splash?

I also have that klub...

WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT TO A BEAUTIFUL KLUB

HOW DID YOU DO THAT TO YOUR BEAUTIFUL KLUB

[theoneandonlyMoPS]

@Poowis thank you;) i'd call that constructive criticism!

1. the little 302 used to be a top hat. you can see in my older videos that once it has been unspoiled but slowly got more and more such cuts...it's because it was cracking all over the place so i bought a new hihat and now i use the old one as a stack. i "stacked" a totally ripped splash beneath it.

2. same thing with the "klub" which by the way is a compressor crash...cracking and cracking..seems to be a common weakness of the..

@theoneandonlyMoPS ..generation x series since i have now, in 4 months consumed 4 14" filter chinas all getting crackles in these holes after a while..

3. I used a metal shears (if this is the right word) to cut the cracks out..a little filing and sanding and the job is done. way better method than drilling or stuff like that.

Hope that answered your questions;)

wow youre a lefty

[Tanuru22]

is the recording from the vinyl?



[theoneandonlyMoPS]

@Tanuru22 nope, why should it? 

[Theguitarmansam]

why is the song pitch-shifted down homie?!

[theoneandonlyMoPS]

@Theguitarmansam I'll give you a hint: "copyright" =)

[lolh4x]

Why is Jon Theodore such a beast? Anyways. Great cover. Glad to see this song getting the recognition it deserves

[theoneandonlyMoPS]

@lolh4x haha...thanks;) i was thinking the same thing when i heard the stuff...well...omar seems to have a weakness for beasts as drummers!!!

[lolh4x]

@theoneandonlyMoPS well The Mars Volta have a pretty insane sound. There probably isn't a whole lot of drummers who can work in that type of band,
