Your kit looks extremely Mike Portnoy influenced, am I right? :P Octoban full set, set of granite blocks, Sabian cymbals... bet you have Tama drums. ^_<
Nice version! I play this one from Live After Death - Nicko McBrain style. Check it out when you have time - I spent some time mixing it right, I think it sounds decent :) I like the wind chimes you've got there, adds a nice touch.
I suuuuuuure hope some of you critics out there can do it better yourself! Otherwise you're just another 250lb man tellin your buddies you'd never sleep with the 140lb chick at the end of the bar cuz she's to fat! haha Nice cover Mike! Good timing and speed!
this man showed us at youtube how you can screw up this great song...i mean you can drum,but i saw a lot better covers than this...by example maxxmcbrain...
@marcosmitsrotterdam Dude I uploaded this two years ago...If I were to play it now, I'd play it a lot different. I would also play it to the Iron Maiden version. I had been considering redoing the cover to do the song justice and to make the drums sound better. But I've been busy with original stuff and haven't gotten around to it.
Nicko McBrain plays it the way that he does for one reason, he better than most drummers alive understands the value between notes is more valuable than the notes them selves.
I like that you added a bit of fire to it, but i feel it takes away from the rest of the song, your playing too fast for this song, and it sounds messy because of it. (not that your messy)
Other than over doing it (in my opinion) it was very well done.
cradle of filth aint true metal, no offence to cradle fans but it isnt, its screamo shit and its nt gona change, but i still rspect them forwhat they do.
Cos the Cradle cover of Hallowed is probably the more famous one out of the bunch. I prefer the Dream Theater version more. How much did you pay for that kit?
@Nexusdrummer88@ cradle of filth have done a version of hallowed be thy name and i think its shit cus it isent their stile no offense but i dont like cradle of filth
@HamburgerDuck lmao the original hallowed be thy name covered by cradle of filth belongs to iron maiden. And that 'screamo shit' happens to be black metal (in the first albums) and some sort of weird extreme gothic metal in the last albums. Hate the last albums anyway they ruined the whole idea, just like dimmu borgir on their last album.
Anyway really cool cover. Got me inspired on some fills.
good sound quality brah, like that left handed china part, sumthing only picked up on when watching the drummer. iced earth nice, cool drum kit, portnoy sticks nice,

you definitely know how to play the drums, but you definitely do not play the "Hallowed br thy Name" drumming.
You improvise and have too much of drum solo within the song. Crucial part is 5:45 - 6:23. You miss the magic pause at 6:12.
It's not about having as many hits as possible. If that would be it then Nicko would have used each of his hands by the 3 times speed comp. to you.
