Y'ever hear of a podcast called Masters of None? Because they featured this video (just the audio) on a recent show. It was "Top 8.5 song parts of all time." You might wanna check it out.
It sounded just like it did on the song dude! But im still not sure if the first part was on the floor tom or the bass drums.... sounded right the way you did it tho ha.
Very impressive. Where or how did you learn to play it? I desperately want to be able to play it. But i cant find anything that explains it to me simply
does anyone else find it somewhat disturbing that the best cover of this on youtube is done by a guy with a paper bag on his head? at any rate very well done!
god damn, I'd kill to be able to play like that. I expected some piece of shit video because of the get-up, and then BAM; Killer drum intro. And yes, this is the first video I've seen of you.
because of its unseriousness, ithought it would be crap but it was pretty awesome i must learn this song! fuck the legendary drums of Alex are awesome!

You can't even play worth a shit. Everything you do is fast. I bet you can't even play something slow because it's too hard and boring for you. Buckethead has already been done, you need to get a new gimmick... how about if you put a plastic garbage bag over your head.... and tape really good so no air gets in. Then play really really fast for about 22 minutes. Then have somebody else put the video on youtube and we will watch it, now that's funny. What a dick...
this is the best cover of this i've seen on youtube.
the cymbals were perfect in this piece.
u must know nothing about drumming joedrums.
how fast u play is the stupidest thing to comment on.
hes goofy, but he's got soul. u can feel it.
the way he rides the cymbals, the groove of the shuffle.
so stop trying to make urself feel better by pickin on people and jacking off to ur cattle prodding magazines, get off ur ass for once and do something good for the world.
Joe, You can't even play worth shit. Everything you do is slow. I bet you can't even play something fast because it's too hard and you can't move your hands faster then 20 bpm. What a douchebag.
I think this comment was a response to joedrums, a fellow that left an unescessary flaming comment for me that was insulting (youtube didn't post this response in the right spot). -3? This guys on my side fellas!
This is probably the best/most accurate intro of this song I have seen on Youtube. Some "drummers" just don't understand that the first few measures are done on a single floor tom, just like we see here.
I agree also. I cannot seem to find a decent sounding snare to save my own life. Any of you have any suggestions what I should be looking for in a good snare?
@theKFCguy33 I found an early 70's Rogers steel snare at a pawn shop a few years ago. it's the best i've been able to find. it's 14 x 7 and has ten lugs (not eight). it's very well built, obviously, or it wouldn't be for sale in a pawn shop thirty five years or more later.
I think is a very good drumming!! And all you people that keep talking like you can do it better... Well, just show it! Better playing and exact playing for that song just Alex VH!
little boy, do not comment on things you know nothing about. By the way, if u would like drum lessons, let me know....I will be more than happy to unassist you.
well, I'm real proud of ya skipper! It takes alot of balls to post a thread about something you are really ignorant of. Good Job! Now, go have a tea party with your 8 year old sister.
WOW....you walked right into that one. Good Job Skipper!!! I see you like to walk into shit storms! Careful tho....walking through too many of those things will enable u to stinK for life, something no tomato paste baths could ever remove. So....there's some advise for ya there, stinKy!!!
Now, can you just pm me your email address and phone number?
When I'm a rich, famous and happy musician to the point I can quit the band and launch a succesful solo career, instead of building it upon crappy, sappy songs and boring videos, I want you to drum on my albums and perform on video :D
Cool. It's one of the better versions of the intro I have ever seen. Most people simply don't realize the first part is nothing but a single floor tom.

oh yeah and I'm the guy who played the video you responded to. Way to play the song at like half the speed. I was trashed when that video was filmed and it was somewhat of an impromptu show, what's your excuse?
