Asking Alexandria- I Used To Have A Best Friend (Drum Cover)

[mercedesvela1]

Is that a Slipknot drum set picture ?:D

[MarijuanaCanada]

Your double bass is fucking nuts

[xjbear210x]

just need louder music! still badass

[Patdfreek34]

cover if you can't ride two horses at one you should get out of the circus it will really show case your snare play and double bass along with a lot of your crash to hi hat to bell ability, your an insane drummer overall, keep up the work

[DiegoTKBrown]

holy shit fuken awesome bro keep it up 

[Dmac192]

@CoopDeeBee How dumb are you, really?

[PoeticCody]

hey man great videos and u have amazing talent!! i was just wanting to ask what kind of pedal are you using??

[aVegetarian1]

Triggers don't help you play better, they amplify sound that's all. Okay you can add effects but that's the same a guitarist using a pedal and amp. Most of the time they are needed in large venues. You'd be surprise at how many bands use triggers if not all.

[Thricemaster]

that was a pleasure to watch man

[IAmProbablyMike]

I can see you're obviously a good drummer and such, but genuine question; why the triggers?

[cheesyrice7]

Some people are so blind... There's a china right beside the ride that sometimes you can't see that well...

[Zarifyy]

what kind of kit is that?

[simon1996N]

its a great cover! :)

[superzombie1997]

100% respect great fucking cover

[kornhead6555]

And Asking Alexandria needs triggers :lol:

[BeaaNNz1]

@the jr1485 and @FreKLeFace1318 why would the drummer of a band want to fake his drumming he is part of the best band i have heard for ages crown the empire, so shut the fuck up and fuck off.

[FreKleFace1318]

@BeaaNNz1 Dude clearly you don't know how to read!! I said the guy doing the cover is faking the double bass or he is using heel to toe, because I said James Cassells is drumming when the guy doing the cover isn't! I never said James was faking it!! Re-read the comment before you post yours!!!!

[iateagiraffeonce]

Great cover :)

[skatevansCA]

the bass kicked my head in.

[banonrulez]

Very nice cover, much respect;

btw what size china are you usin' in your vids? if i may ask. :)

[MetalHeadAtHeart1]

your the kind of ass hole (i mean that in a joking way) that strives me to improve my drumming. thank you. :p

[LimitxD12]

Nice cover huh!!! :D

[thebmeat]

how high do you place your beater vertically? how far away from center?

[bondjamesbond12]

Gee your not a fan of Slipknot *sarcasm*

[superzombie1997]

best cover i seen on utube



[Dud3Bro]

The sound of this cover is outstanding compared to most drum cover's ive heard. Major props. (subscribing)

[consolemaster96]

OMG are you drummer from crown the empire?????

[Amanda00070]

cara vc é um ete toca muito vc é o cara mó fera!

[c00c00c1234]

nice lil fills in between



[wevertogui]

what program you use to record the sound of drums?



[bl00ber99]

lol it kinda sound like an electric set :P

[WeedShroomsBooze]

wanna know why your my fav cover? Cause when you jam you dont just do it flawlessly...but you rock the hell out! horns you bro \m/

[TheAlienAries]

wow dude....realy?! that was sick. im a drummer my self and have been since i was 12 completely self taught. i am impressed and thats not easy to do. good job man and u ppl out there talkin shit saying hes nop playing it obviously arent drummers at 3:19 when his legs stop he is prolly usiing either heel toe or swivel and when u do that ur legs dont move as much so go fuck yourself u fuckin troll u dont know shit. have a nice day :)

[Cameraman129]

@TheAlienAries he dubs over his playing with audio tracks.. and stop being a kiss ass. in other videos, its quite apparent that this isn't his playing. at 42 seconds in the carol of the bells cover, he hits his ride and you hear a china.... i rest my case.

[BandaDK]

@TheAlienAries or he simply recorded it in a different take :)

[pkprod2011]

@TheAlienAries Hmm if I could understand half the shit you said.. I'd probably like your comment.

[MarianMaddem]

sos una masa loco"

[DkidDH]

15 people are stupid and can't apreciate skill...

[ninefox12]

do you use axis's O.O?

[KatelynLuvsLizards]

no one can play like James from asking alexandria <3 ello my name is james and i play drooms :)

[FreKleFace1318]

3:42 is epic!!!!!



[Ropedogg93]

what method are you using for kicking? is so fucking sick

[AnthonyyCanFlyy]

Please do. I could be wrong but it seems pretty real to me seeing as everything you hear, he's playing, too. But like I said, I could be wrong.

[AnthonyyCanFlyy]

Yeah, it's obviously fake. I mean it's too perfect and the fact that it's studio quality. It must be fake... Fucking troll! You know, their producer doesn't know everything! He's a great producer but, this is an even greater cover!!:P

[CaptnMingeBrowz]

@AnthonyyCanFlyy We were actually discussing this video on a forum yesturday there were about 30 other well know producers that also said that this is fake. i can link you to the forum if you want?

[CaptnMingeBrowz]

Can people not tell that this is fake? even joey sturgis the guy who recorded asking alexandria said that these covers are fake

[rooneyrodriguez11]

@CaptnMingeBrowz how can this be fake? AHAHA

[CaptnMingeBrowz]

@rooneyrodriguez11 Well its actually extremely easy AHAHA you use a midi track add your samples play it back through your headphones and video it. you use kontakt 4 for drum replacement which was also used on the original song aswell. Dont question joey sturgis man haha

[rooneyrodriguez11]

@CaptnMingeBrowz uhh ok then,im going to stcik with the video which is incredibly good and real so...

[SAMrzk]

:O SAME CHINA

[xJak97x]

No repeat button D:

[mazerfa]

IMPOSSIBRUU!



[LongLiveAA]

good drummer!

[cthacker93]

this jello is good ._.

[vfdrummerjoe]

Cobus can eat your shorts!! friggin well done mate excellent cover, a question, do you use the heel toe technique to get your bass drum going so fast or is it just practice and good stamina? :)

[fromfiretoice]

@vfdrummerjoe By the looks of it he doesn't use heel toe....I don't understand why not....But that's beyond me haha

[crnkdatsouljaboi12]

the audio isn't synced up well...kinda pissing me off

[yomommaaminor55]

you should do a drum tour :D

[xxFuZioNs1]

14 people are jealous

[ulookpregnant47]

you might be better then the actuall AA drummer

[1337petergriffin]

0:37 had to change my pants

[metallica1252]

[Ganon909]

your bass drum sounds like sex



[jlmorgan93]

[TheSOLIDSTONE]

[oceaneath]

[CrazyDrumsticks]

@unforgiven125 Its an arrow "in" the knee.

[ANastyHoneyBadger]

@unforgiven125 get that piece of shit comment off of this masterpiece

[unforgiven125]

@ANastyHoneyBadger It's in the comment section of a masterpiece ... it isn't in the video right?

[ANastyHoneyBadger]

@unforgiven125 dont care

[trollzillalolol]

@unforgiven125 wanna take a foot to the dick?

[unforgiven125]

[TehSplatter]

[unforgiven125]

@TehSplatter so by saying that sentence im gay? real logical man.

[DrunkGuyVideos]

@unforgiven125 No...just no. Make an AA reference to that stupid ass joke. THEY JUST DON'T WORK! Lol

[hbk471]

SLIPKNOT FOR THE WIN this is fucking amazing

[MaggotMuncher96]

was Joey Jordison a big enfluence? jw cause he was an influence on me too

[CoopDeeBee]

If you watch at 3:19 you can still here bass drum strokes when he is clearly not playing them.

[jacobwskel]

@CoopDeeBee

This Phenomenon is regularly referred to as a "double stroke".

[FreKleFace1318]

@CoopDeeBee You can tell it's fake... Starting from 3:32 from 3:42 the drummer in AA is playing it repeatively and Brent is do 2 kicks.

[thejr1485]

@FreKleFace1318 good eye freckleface. It does start looking fake at 3:32.

[09thuglyf]

@CoopDeeBee no u can see them.

[xDeadEyeQx]

@CoopDeeBee well he didnt record the video and the audio at the same time .so he must have for got that part in the video.lol

[fcastro71293]

@CoopDeeBee cool br0 want a cookie? Do you like turtles?

[BandaDK]

@CoopDeeBee wut

[motoman19904]

@CoopDeeBee you can see his legs moving?

[nickle4rizzle]

@CoopDeeBee no shit maybe he must a few but theres a fucking recording playing in the background why dont you post a video up here of you playing this song on what ever instrument you please and i can guaranfuckingtee it wont be this good why do pieces of shit like you come to videos to talk shit about them if you dont like the video then get the fuck off the page.

[7897gdass]

@CoopDeeBee heard of playing heel down?

[bagelisdelish]

@CoopDeeBee If you look at how you spelled the word "hear", it's clearly wrong.

[TheOviEcc]

Yeah great man! ;)

[FATPANDAHOLDINGATACO]

[YourMyDinner]

Was the snare triggered? Asking because it sounds a lot like EzDrummer. Oh and i hate your hi-hat sound! But awesome drumming skills, really tight stuff!

[AAustinMMichael]

1:10 - 1:14 is off. 

[rockman0909]

@AAustinMMichael Ya that kind of happens during the editing its mostly common but its hard to catch sometimes...

[boardslide36]

Amazing! One of the cleanest drum covers i've ever seen on youtube. What kind of snare are you using?
