Boston Smokin' - Drum Cover - The Drum Channel

[oskar2695toajaller]

Dang that guy has got some beat

[ultrakool]

hey, after you're done playing this, you can use your sticks as "fuzz stick" kindling for starting your wood stove ;p

[hickrystyk]

great job...nice to see someone who can keep a smoothe groove instead of just rolling up and down the toms!!!!!

[qwert2748]

So I take it this guy can only drum while drunk??

[advhutch]

im good friends with the eastern regional director of coors, his name is Scottie Carter, good guy. I met hin and his wife in Hawaii at the 2006 Probowl.

[The6580scot]

Hey man, you look like you're having a great time! Nice job of holding down the groove with just enough fills!. The video itself was well done, I like what you did with background images. You should solicit for a keyboardist to send you a video of the organ lead while mapping that to your background during the Hammond B-3 solo. Anyway, Great Job!

[Ludwigzildjian1]

Great job check out my drum cover of rock and roll band

[Neif3l]

Really nice cover! I can see you are having fun whilst playing.

[LocoRico89]

Can we go on tour together? :-D

[togp99]

holy crap man! love to see someone doing a kickass job and ABSOLUTELY loving what he's doing! All I can say is MORE baby!

[TheDrumChannel]

@togp99 Wow Glad you liked it - It is fun playing great music.

[twiggymac]

nice cover, sounds smokin'!

did you know the album version is made up of over 100 individual splices of drums, legitimately nobody "played" the drums in this song on the album

[TheDrumChannel]

@twiggymac I don't know about that. It might have been cut up like I cut up my audio, but someone was playing the drums to all these songs. It sounds too fluid to be pieced together - Maybe your right - I don't know for sure.

[brunodogao15]

Gosto sempre de ver esse video, porque ele toca sempre com um sorriso alegre quando toca hausHUSHushuHS Belo trabalho!!

[Bodhisattva57]

Excellent job. Your great. Maybe you ought to think about your beer choice next time.LOL.

[TheDrumChannel]

@Bodhisattva57 Yeah - what ever is in the fridge at the time.

[wardd413]

Gotta love a drummer who is having fun while playing great! Thanks for the posting.

[TheDrumChannel]

@wardd413 Your welcome - thanks for watching

[lisdiz99]

WOW!!

[TheDrumChannel]

@xIDecapitatorIx Thank you -

[snottydyck]

You are the cheese!!

[TheDrumChannel]

@snottydyck Thanks - I have to more Boston!

[JPMBful]

Goodness  yeah

[markvidales]

cool how did you overlay the background to the video

[TheDrumChannel]

@markvidales Using a green screen

[northjeep]

It feels like you're just a touch behind with the tom fill after the two pauses. (near the end of the song) 4:13

Otherwise I'm lovin it.

[TheDrumChannel]

@northjeep Yup - sounds like I'm slackin off! But thanks

[NINTENDOLINKZELDA]

no dislikes hell yeah

[TheDrumChannel]

@NINTENDOLINKZELDA Thanks

[zelethaltaco]

How long have you been drumming for?

[TheDrumChannel]

@zelethaltaco Many years before anyone knew what a password was and could be used for :)

[zelethaltaco]

you are amazing

i wish i could drum like you

keep on drumming!

[TheDrumChannel]

@zelethaltaco Thanks - I'm just having fun with what I love.

[tmass101]

I am 15 and have this album

[TheDrumChannel]

@tmass101 Well consider yourself a very smart 15 yr old as you have great taste in music. You won't here this kind of art in todays music. I wonder why - where did all of the creative musicians go?

[HuutavaOrgasmi]

@tmass101 Keep growing up!

[ausername2008]

Pathetic plug man , coors isnt payn u a dime lol

[TheDrumChannel]

@ausername2008 Yes I know but it does taste good on a hot summer day. Just having fun with it.

[jonathanmizaky]

wow, awesome vid

[Midtalker]

I don't know if it was the Coors but, you are awesome. Gratz man!! and thanks. Made me smile the whole video.

[TheDrumChannel]

@Midtalker Glad I could put a smile on your face. As for me - any beer will do on a hot day - Thanks

[SonorSonicFan]

Nice job. Good song choice. I also like that fuzzy drumstick in your left hand.

[TheDrumChannel]

@SonorSonicFan You mean the one that is holding on for dear life. Most of my sticks are like that. Bad habit I guess but thanks for taking the time to write a comment

[MCrue2]

It's like a drum karaoke

[TheDrumChannel]

@MCrue2 Yes I agree.  Thanks

[vcoaster]

Killer drumming! You don't miss a single note. Amazing! Also the production value of the video is excellent.  I love the kick drum cam. Do you handle the editing yourself? Excellent work.

[TheDrumChannel]

@vcoaster Yes I do all the editing myself. Slowly I am getting better at it. There is a lot involved. Lighting, sound editing etc. Glad you liked it.

[vcoaster]

@TheDrumChannel Yes, I did like it. I'm a professional video producer so I know there is a lot involved to making it look nice. You do a great job with the production. What editing program do you use? I mainly use Edius.

[TheDrumChannel]

@vcoaster Mostly Sony Vegas - Trying to break into the Mac as well

[199Bo]

You are very good! Nice video! :D

[TheDrumChannel]

@199Bo Thank You

[FL50DRUMR]

Great cover! You really nailed it. Love the air keyboard at 4:03 - You seem to really enjoy playing, which is what it is all about!

[TheDrumChannel]

@FL50DRUMR Thanks - Having fun is what it is all about.

[Bang0r]

Man. Amazing. I couldn't be more jealous of you skills. Seriously fantastic.

[backspace3111]

awesome cover, where can i get the tabs from?

[BumpNrun69]

ahh, I knew if I searched long enough I could find someone that played this tune to a tee... Great Job. Loved the video production also. However, don't agree with Coors being no.1, I wouldn't even say within top 10........8-)

[TheDrumChannel]

@BumpNrun69 Thanks - I didn't really mean to make a Coors plug out of it but it kinda turned out that way. I'll drink whatever is cold on a hot day! Thanks

[BassPotter46]

The Bass Player will be a much better hook-up in the back ground. The new Boston Bass Player Babe for sure!

[eduardo14l]

can you do Dont Look Back or Livin For You xD

[napyfro]

Your abilities leave me speachless. Thank you for putting these videos on YouTube.

[TheDrumChannel]

@napyfro Thanks - I hope to do more soon

[Veradoradehon]

I enjoyed this.  I love Boston!! Great playing. Great video!

[MrRockdog13]

Quality, that's all I can say - Top job!

[ricardokjkj]

noo is Corona the number 1#

[blackhawktim05]

This is without a doubt the best video of this song on youtube,,,,,dude,,,,dam,,,,I might actually start drinking coors if it will make me play like this!!!!!!!!!!all bs aside,,,one hell of a cover bro!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Agentus004]

any idea what happened to mytwangyguitar's cover? It's doesn't show up in the search and it sounds like the track for this video was replaced with the original.

[TheDrumChannel]

@Agentus004 - no - I don't know what happened to his version. It was good. I never used the audio from his video cause it was out of time with mine. I just used the picture as best I could. Sam is a great guitarist. I hope to do more with him.

[blackhawktim05]

I really enjoyed your post,,,,DAMN,,,you can play the hell outta this song,,,I have played it and played it,,,and don't even come close to your skill,,,,oh well,,,it is still a fun song to play,,,thanks for posting!!!

[Ida922]

LOCAL DRUMMER SMOKI'N by: BOSTON

[Mike990920]

I love your energy and expression of joy when you play. Seeing you do such a marvelous job with the drums of this song gives me a greater appreciation for the original recording. I don't know if Hashian or Masdea actually recorded the original drums. I also feel tremendous appreciation for some of the great swing and big band percussionists of the 50's who performed from percussion score and then interpretted the energy. That being said, I so enjoy watching you play and you are excellent at it!!

[TheDrumChannel]

@Mike990920 Thanks Mike - I read that it was a friend of the Guitarists who played the drums on the album. i don't know their name, buyt I'm glad you liked it. I have to do more Boston cause they are such a good band.

Thanks again

[gabrielcoy]

this is a great drum cover. you, along with several other drummers on youtube have been a big reason behind me buying my first drum kit (albeit an entry level electronic kit).

love your style and how you look like you're having so much fun when drumming.

kutgw.

[TheDrumChannel]

@gabrielcoy Wow - great! Thanks so much. I have to start playing more myself - been slackin off lately. Great that you are inspired by You Tube - keep jammin

[innocentcriminal09]

dude do you have any tips for exercises to improve bass drum coordination with both feet? your suggestions will be most appreciated. I love your playing on this video. I should have some up of my own soon. I just bought myself a digital camcorder. thanks a bunch!

[TheDrumChannel]

@innocentcriminal09

I used to try to do doubles on each foot. Kind of like a double stroke roll with your feet. It's boring but it builds the feet up a lot. Can't wait to see some of your vid's when you get them up there

[toddmonster]

more like.. smoke a blunt...

dude, your fast rolls are beautiful

[TheDrumChannel]

@toddmonster

This new commenting thing sucks! It works - it posts to the wrong line - what's up with that? I wish they would go back to the way it was. I like your Idea and thanks about the rolls!

[sonic540]

Yes it is LOL. Love the video. Boston rocks! 5 stars!

[LocoRico89]

Kick Ass!

[Trumavarium]

Love that snare!

[vineyardedge]

<3 Great!

[Marshall12AX7]

Awesome cover - spot on with the fills!

[jowens1126]

Shouldnt this song be sponsored by Columbian Gold, Put that in your pipe and smoke it!

Awsome job man. I had the good forture to see them in concert on the Dont Look Back tour Back in 1978. One of my all time favorite rock concerts.

[TheDrumChannel]

It was! - I was gonna do that but switched to the beer at the last minute! Thanks

[TheDrumChannel]

@jowens1126

I saw a lot of good concerts back in the 70's as well but I didn't see Boston. Anything was good back then!

[bluejeansguy6]

WOW!!! SO tight and energetic! Awesome job my friend!!!

[TheDrumChannel]

Thanks so much - I appreciate it

[Urankar3]

Excellent5/5*****!!!!

[idodrum50]

That was kickin' Joe, excellent job on this tune. Are those EC2 drum heads on your toms?

[KimAndTina]

Pinstripe

[TheDrumChannel]

Yes - Pinstripe

[jadetoo8]

Awesome drummer, I really enjoy your vids. Keep up the great work!

[TheDrumChannel]

Thank you - more GFR coming up cause they don't seem to bother me about posting these.

[drumzgal]

Great drummer & fantastic sense of humour!! Keep smilin'!! :)

[TheDrumChannel]

Thanks - I was just taking a sip and was fooling around - then decided to make a little spot out of it. All in the name of a good time. Thnx

[Bumbi1993]

4:13 Nice sounding fill!! :D

[TheDrumChannel]

Thanks - I appreciate that.

[sleepndaisy]

Yea!!! We all need more Boston. You're so cool! Thanks for posting these videos. I really enjoy looking at them.

[TheDrumChannel]

your welcome

[sleepndaisy]

God man. I"ll say it again. You are so AWESOME! I love you man. And I LOVE Boston!

[TheDrumChannel]

OK more Boston!!

[SanDiskMusic]

I don't how I ended up here, but Great Video man, awwsome drumming, dude you got skills! 5 Stars

LOL on the Coors/ Canoe anology!

[Moony1911]

Dude! Your stick at the end looks like an old toothbrush!

[TheDrumChannel]

I know - they don't last too long

[JohnO318]

I'm drinking Guiness as I watch this awesome drumming!!

[TheDrumChannel]

Guiness - Coors whatever - it works for me. Thanks for the sub - take care

[shoansnoday]

Dude!!! AARRRGGHHHH!!!!

I love you man...but....dude!!!

Coors Light is like having sex in a canoe.

It's f*ckin' close to water!

[TheDrumChannel]

I was waiting for this comment! Actually I though there would be a lot more. Anything cold when your jammin is good. I was just fooling around in front of the camera and decided to make a little spot out of it. I like your analogy though....

[hethandjed]

SMOKIN!

[MyTwangyGuitar]

Your skill level is light years beyond mine. Glad to see you got things to work for you. I wish I had a drummer with your skills when I was in a band. Good luck with all you do. *****

[TheDrumChannel]

Thanks - I notice you bang a lot of videos out per week. I wish I could do that.. Also your picture quality is fantastic. Thanks for letting me use the clip - American Band?

[zachlava]

sickk

[LouddrummerO]

The beer skitt was a classic! LOL Is that american beer? Boston rules and so do you!

[TheDrumChannel]

Thanks John - I drink whatevers in the fridge

[SquareBanana5414]

Awesome, I love how much you obviously enjoyed playing it :-)

[raffertyraffraff34]

your awesome

[17drums]

Another AMAZING production, Joe! 5 stars of course.

[downriverdon]

Awesome job! Glad to see you again. More,more,more!

[86tbird]

Hey, Joe! Great to see you back with a classic. I always find a smile when I see your vids. I see a lot more energy and enthusiasm in you. It's great to see you enjoying this as much as I enjoy watching! Bottoms up!

[irockcjcarey]

your channel is sooo amazing, you diserve sooo many more viewers

[DRMessinger]

Another 5 stars!! You've got the licks and some great video editing that makes this (and everything else you've done) a real pleasure to watch. Looking forward to much more. Great addition with the guitarist in the background. WOW!!

[april20051]

you alway amaze me when you do something new This is one of the best song by Boston great job keep it up

[PDXguitarfreak]

LOL that was classic bro! Added to faves!

[satchbooggy]

DWI hahaha

[BobCubTAC]

LOL - did Coors pay you to do that spot at the beginning?

Great job on the song, of course! The extra bass drumbeat does make the song a little fuller.

One of my favorite driving songs of all time! I'd sing it in karaoke more, except I feel like a complete idiot just standing up there during the interlude for two & a quarter minutes. LOL!

[byte19]

time for new sticks Mister!!! lol... great drumming as always sir..

[GFRFan12]

How about "Stone Cold Fever" by Humble Pie? Great stuff. Good job. :)

[drdigital1]

Great job! Your an awesome Drummer!
