Billy Joel - Pressure (Drum Cover)

[Dessesbo]

This is superb! You wouldn't happen to have recorded just a drum track, did you? I'm wanting to do a cover of this song replacing the keys with guitar tracks. I can't find just a drum/bass track for this song.

[MyPablodiablo]

i think it sounds pretty good man, what are you using to record with man, i'm about to get an electronic kit, and i want to do some covers and lesson stuff on here, but my camcorder sounds like shit! if i record with my webcam & mic it sound great but the video sucks? yours sounds great, what are u using?

[rsvp9146]

very well done. the electronic kit sounds pretty good too.

[blumonkeyboy]

How did you get a drumless track?

[enemykill]

you keep excellent time and u have great mechanics, very nice job bro!!!!

[blutocampbell]

For electronic drums those sound good

[54spiritedwill54]

Excellent drumming again!

[theoriginalsafinette]

good job kid!

[marieteresa14]

sounds great!

[minimosher07]

Whoever sporkit is he's obviously never played drums, they are a difficult instrument, everyone just thinks there pointless banging and crashing but it does take alot of skill, between timing, multi-tasking, speed, and learning different limb individuality it is challenging. My hypophises is youre a asshole sporkit

FUCK OFF!

[sporkit]

Every drumming video on YouTube is loaded with idiots crying about ridiculous technicalities. Trying to get in a debate about proper playing methods in a pop song is utterly useless.

Get the hint. Drumming is easy. This guy is doing a great job. Who gives a shit either way.

[ragnarok78]

wat kind of kit is dat and how much is dat? kinda cool ~~

[cucumber288]

i think he made this when he had a kid

[Journey432]

Nice Job

[TheTechHead]

You guys are sooo rude.where are your efforts?!!

[ShelterDogs]

For an "occasional drummer" that sounded pretty damned good. I'd call you an accomplished drummer to be honest. The only part of this video I didn't think was too good was seeing your shirt. =)

[theoriginalsafinette]

@ShelterDogs i agree.... i hate the yukkies!

[punchyourheadoff]

sounds good.you have good feel and are solid bro.i agree,one shouldn't HAVE to play anything exact-it should be about interpretation and having fun with the song/style of playing-but the four to the floor bass drum is important in this song. it can be easy or difficult to learn.its different for everyone.you should check out some reggae music and listen to a "drop beat."it seems simple enough,but is very very difficult to learn as a rock drummer because it is the total opposite approach. :)

[thebestbillyjoel]

Hey man im a drummer too. I reckon that was a perfect performance. Dont wory about the idiot who said the bass isnt right. who gives a fuck. Play how ever you feel. Create more like u said. Keep drummer man I love your stlye. Keep drumming to billy, liberty is a great drummer.

[bipolarposterboy]

improved as in an abbreviation for improving for those confused

[bjmsg06]

As far as my playing goes i do not consider myself a beginner because i'm simply not. Yes of course the bass drums parts are important. I just didn't hit the bass drum when i hit the snare thats the only thing different from the record. I never said "i am improvising," and dont say i cant play the bass drum parts correctley cause i can. Ill rerecord the video and hit the bass drum on 3 if it will make you happy lol. I still know i did played the song good, way over a beginners standard.

[bipolarposterboy]

I've seen Billy Joel Live in concert many times. and I've seen Liberty Devitto separately from billy joel. And I can tell you that on every single on of those occasions he improved. All of his improving was better than yours though. If you can't play the bass drum parts correctly because you are still a beginner, just say that, rather than saying "i am improvising," which just pisses off members of the drumming community.

[bjmsg06]

I too have seen liberty and billy perform many times. I do think Liberty was a better drummer live in the late 70's. I think it was more of a style change throughout the years rather an improvement. He's still incredible though. As far as his improvement compared to mine its really not a fair comparison although it is cool being compared to liberty. He wrote most of the drum parts to all of billys songs and he's been playing drums 25 years longer than I've been alive.

[TheTechHead]

the point of being a musician is to give it your own feel. If you like Liberty's playing.....WATCH HIM AND LEAVE COMMENTS FOR HIM, don't cuss and insult other people. I've been playing for 18 years, I love liberty's playing to, BUT this guy is great. Go back under your rock you baffoon!!

[bipolarposterboy]

once again not how the song is played. practice up and get those bass parts right

[bjmsg06]

the song doesn't always have to played exactly the way it is on the record. What's the sense of creativity? Have you ever seen a live concert? Not even Liberty Devitto played the songs exact to the record when he toured with Billy.

[novembercold72]

excellent drumming dude, nice one..thanks for sharing, timing was perfect

[OneChance99]

whats its called when you have a song without an instrument playing?

[mandobanjoguitar]

excellent drumming, killer song!

[rianpor]

Excellent drumming again!

Really admire the way you keep the tempo nice and steady. :)

[skipbreakfast]

Good job! How loud are those pads to people outside of the room? Apartment living makes playing drums tough...

[snappythingy]

really liked this one, right on the mark

[ebyard]

Good job dude! Nice and smooth. Try and find the audio sample that Liberty did which breaks this song down (think it was called Off The Record, I have the MP3 somewhere). This is a half time and rock feel, and you're just missing out a kick in the main groove (3 not 2) Otherwise excellent, keep on drumming ;-)

[ezrinjem]

FINALLY! A drummer who plays in the pocket and keeps time properly on YouTube! Hallelujah!

[TonyVienna]

Tight, Solid, Played with restraint,^^^5 would LUV to have the drum track to play n sing along with**

[choidj]

I also love covering billy Joel's songs on the drums!

[ronnietg]

[comcfi]

[drum333cory]

[chadergeist]

Great job man!!!!

[elderscroll4mii]

Good work and choice of song 4/5

[anthematica]

Great drumming man!

[FrankmarinoSMS]

this guy is awsome

[allforleyna80]

I play piano and I love covering billy joel songs, I love this one!

[FrankmarinoSMS]

thats nice

[copdout]

Occasionaly drummer? Shit, I wish I could occasionally play that well. You need to post more vids dude.

[wmarcel2000]

Are you the dude from American Pie?

[Palomitz]

And you look like a mo-fock to me, LOL.

[nihilistic0]

in the verses, the kick drum should be hit on every beat

[pianodannmarr]

I believe it's on the chorus.

[Palomitz]

Great job and talent! However you need to show more emotion while performing. Do a search on BJoel Young Man and you'll see the drummer's style.

[Palomitz]

Angry Young Man from the Long Island concert of 1982.

[spoonzgfx]

Yep agreed... you got the groove and timing to a T mate... but this is a damn angry song... so really go to town on them drums. The sticks will bost before the drum head. Beleive me I've done it to the ace of spades! :-) Tip top m8

[stevetck]
