[blubu68]

Do you use compression?

[BennyVengeance888]

How did you afford a Phoenix kit??

[MrPiazza82]

...that was really cool and all, but we have a problem...my pants are gone...

[MatthewsPercussion]

Mad props brother, I'm thoroughly impressed!

[JdJDrums]

Hey steven, wath's the name of that wooden block on your snare?

[olonggris]

Omg that is awsome dude!! Can I know your cymbal setup? Those cymbals sounds so great.

[tigrisnakkana]

Damn that stack is just perfect.



[georgeinfection97]

damn!! this is just beast ! :D killer sound! what do you have under that china? is it 20" ride or something?

[Ehwoke]

Listened to this cover at-least 20 times today, I just love it too much!

[jonnsen3]

MASSIVE! epic

[Massy012]

This was a brilliant cover my man.

[pescalante2]

you made that kit sound fuckign awesome, any tips on how I can get my snare to sound fat like yours? like tension wise top and bottom head and if you have any drumdial tensions for it? because I followed your snare drum tuning video but I want mine sounding more kinda like yours in this one, however mine is a 13x8 and dealing with overtones can be a bitch hahaha

[moonodude17]

For those wondering what the stack is, it's (I could be wrong here, though) a 19" Zildjian Hybrid China cymbal with an upside-down 18" Zildjian (K Series?) EFX Crash cymbal on top.

[ransisua]

more, dude. more!!!!

[Snarehead00]

Fuckin awesome loud drum sound ! You're a professional

[ForgedinShadow2]

That cymbal at 0:23 between your toms, it looks like 2 cymbals upside down? What are they man?? PLEAAASE they sound incredible :) thanks man

[Mxlandry]

Powerful and precise, exactly what it takes for awesome metal drumming.

[winoINC]

Nice work man;) ..What cymbals do you use for that.."stack?" or...I am called that Djent Cymbal ... , pretty nice sound;)

[DrHowlingMad]

hey,shit man,has anyone ever told you that you play like hell??hahaha. very nice.

Quick question,what's that cymbal you "ride" on 0:36 and plus? it gave chills up and down my spine! keep it up!

[pescalante2]

fucking awesome man, drums sound great and your skill is fucking amazing, that 13" snare drum beats the hell out of my 13x8 it's not ringy at all

[tedwickman]

1:18

[G36K246]

man.. i love how you're so chill while you play :D

[Periphery]

Damn dude, awesome cover and really diggin your feel! Keep that shit up!!

[never3818]

@Periphery Thanks guys!

[foxegrandpa]

This sounds like sex when listening through dre beats

[ransisua]

FUCKING AWESOME!!!!! YAMAHA DRUM IS THE BEST!!!!

Great playing and mixing.

[SSMusicManiac]

Such a strong sounding kick, all mix, mastered and edited down by yourself?

[never3818]

@SSMusicManiac yep, i do everything you see and hear in this video - performance, mixing, production, and video editing :)

[fornever5656]

@never3818 wow man. Excellent work.

[muziquer0]

The efx/hybrid china stack is amazing!.. I think its the most expensive stack ive seen.. Lol..

[SuperGerous]

Bro, can't get over how good you are, why don't you have more subscribers?

[never3818]

@SuperGerous help me out by spreading the word! :D

[KeithusTFS]

I dont mean to blow up your comment page with questions, just one more :) haha. I was researching the profire 2626, and its probably obvious , but I'm just getting use to this stuff. Where do you plug in your studio monitors to the interface, or is there another component.

Thanks

[Hanzez]

really nice cover!

[MissCooKiieCoRe]

You're Awesome (:

[cakleman]

I absolutely ADORE your drumkit!!!!!!!!!!!

[SuperGerous]

awesome cover bro!

[surfindrummer]

swirls? ;)

[never3818]

@surfindrummer yep :)

[rickwaldo7]

Hey Steven i have about $120

Should I go for a drum dial and new heads or

A custom splash?

[LightYagamiVSL]

@rickwaldo7 Definently the dial and new heads.

[corybechtold]

What happen to the Pearl drum set!?!?!?!?!?

[MetallicaFran]

Awesome man!

[mammallica]

Do you endorse Zildjian??:D

[never3818]

@mammallica I'd like to ;). I love their cymbals very much, and the people at the company were very kind every time I've visited their factory or when they've visited my school!

[TheGh0stGamer]

@never3818 so you don't? Because you really should!

[streetfast234]

this is better than luke hollands cover.

[MrTorres7]

How do you put your left bass drum pedal right next to the hi-hat pedal?

[never3818]

@MrTorres7 The hi-hat stand I use only has two legs, so it gives me room to put the pedal right up against it! Most hi-hat stands let you adjust where the legs fall though, you can probably adjust it so that the feet are out of the way of your bass drum pedal

[MrTorres7]

@never3818 Oh tkanks Steven. Mine is a Pearl H-790 stand. It has three legs and I don't think that the legs can be adjustable, or it is just me who don't know how to adjust them

[moonodude17]

Assuming that I'm not late, Happy Birthday, Steven! =D

[KeithusTFS]

What are you using for a mixer? Kinda looks like a Mackie blackbird, but I could be mistaken. Great job, the mix is spot on.

[never3818]

@KeithusTFS thanks man! I'm actually not using a mixer, I'm going directly into my interface (m-audio profire 2626)

[justinlelk94]

@never3818 awesome man I think it's quite enough for your drums

[Ryxify]

@never3818 And what Software do you use ?

[KeithusTFS]

@never3818 Haha, thats what i meant, but im very impressed with the mix. Any out boarding, or just the interface and all mixing done on the laptop?

[KeithusTFS]

@KeithusTFS Oh! And do you prefer the M-audio profire 2626, im looking in to buy a new interface.

[never3818]

@KeithusTFS I did all the mixing in Pro Tools itself, mainly using a few 3rd party plugins but mostly the digidesign ones that come with it. And I have no complaints about the 2626, so far its worked better than anything else I've tried!

[KeithusTFS]

@never3818 Awesome! And one more question, haha. Do you know if that interface is compatible with Logic Pro 9? I have pro tools, but I use both.

[never3818]

@KeithusTFS Logic Pro i believe is compatible with most if not all interfaces. Pro tools used to just proprietary to digidesign (and m-audio with m-powered), but with pro tools 9 and onward it SHOULD be compatible with any interface :)

[KeithusTFS]

@never3818 Thanks man, huge help! I'd tell you to check my stuff out, but its not nearly as mind blowing as you. You got something special, keep it goin.

[AtazuM]

imo every1 here would love ur drumset + ur tuner skills as their own

it just OWNS man!

[Blasphegoria]

Amazingly good sounding!

[Drummerkid74]

DANG. Where'd you get the chops to play the really dynamic stuff?

[guitarherofreak13]

Hey I was just wondering what the wooden thing on the side of your snare was exactly called? I was looking into getting one, but i wasn't sure if you can buy them or if it just came stock with the snare. Thanks!

[never3818]

@guitarherofreak13 That little piece is called the Yamaha Groove Wedge, designed by Russ Miller. They have a few variations of it, that one is the most basic. You can find more info on my setup on my website, stevenchen.us !

[HandSMinecraft]

Happy Birthday!!

I'll be first to buy Chirality's album if you come out with one

[TheGh0stGamer]

Perfect! <3

[destroyer91292]

Steven Chen's cover > Luke Hollands cover. That is all

[FakeMessiah94]

@destroyer91292 Luke Hollands sucked ass! :L

[destroyer91292]

@FakeMessiah94 thats a bit over the top. Luke Holland is a terrific drummer. For some reason, he gets criticized for his over the top effort he puts into his covers, when he really just puts the extra crap in to be unique. A normal cover would be...just like everyone else honestly.

[FakeMessiah94]

@destroyer91292 You got the wrong end of the stick here. I said "Luke Holland's" not "Luke Holland". His cover of this song was god awful. I never said he was a bad player however, I'm subscribed to him myself and he is usual good.

[destroyer91292]

@FakeMessiah94 Damn...feel like a complete idiot now. My bad completely. Read all comments thoroughly...something I gotta teach myself :p

[KeithusTFS]

U MAD BRO?



[zackattack94]

Happy birthday man all the best!!!

[snachescarlos]

happy early birthday man!! =D

[aorules]

[xsidxsalmonx]

Difficulty level = ASIAN!

[14Mthat14M]

I want to thank you for just doing something so well. It's a lot of fun watching you play a tune with great execution, and the set just sounds killer! It's inspiring.

[TonyRodz11]

Happy Birthday man,and awesome drum cover.

[scottrobertmedia]

Classy job bro. This is a killer song, and you nailed it. Keep up the fantastic work

[officerpoopnard]

that stack sounds heavenly! and your ghost notes are awesome!

great cover.

[ilovetruthdrumzzz]

Steven Chen,your kit sounds amazing.Steven Chen,your playing is amazing.Thank you for being an inspiration.

[Drummerchild99]

By far the best cover of a periphery song I have seen yet! Also your drums sound suuuuper nice

[silenttool]

Good stuff mate!

[AlanM11Drums]

Your clearly after surpassing me by LIGHT YEARS my friend well done :)

[ZxToasty]

[FakeMessiah94]

I am very jelly of this :3

[CalTamaDrummer]

Awesome snare sound!

[DanielMcBrain]

[mammallica]

[ashekalley]

@MALSIV Matt Halpern.

[anunstealthynacho]

[MALSIV]

Matt Halpern brought me here.

[Dumbjackass]

Fuck...

[SauloASFS]

A friend of mine that study on berklee told me that the ones that are not very jazz oriented are probably frustraded studying there... you agree?

[rzachblack]

Epic

[BandaDK]

you are so lucky!

[pascalbetticher]

your double pedal control is just awesome...

[AlanM11Drums]

What the fuck happned @ 2:51!!? that would be defo hard to play!

[LightYagamiVSL]

@AlanM11Drums Doesn't matter. Sounded good.

[AlanM11Drums]

@LightYagamiVSL I didn't say it sounded bad it would be hard to play is what I said. And yeah it sounds good but not to people who dont like changing time signatures.

[eliruben123]

Do you suddenly have your own practice studio? Or did you graduate...

[never3818]

@eliruben123 I suddenly have a rehearsal studio, haha. This is the space my band and I rehearse and record in, and will be the "studio" that I will produce my band (Chirality)'s debut EP in!

[SputniksArmy]

@ben13drummer that's fucking easy....he does way better shit than that...

[breakbenz]

this is fucking A.....what a cover !! be proud of yourself brother !! you should've done this cover wearing a t-shirt that says "i'm fucking awesome" :)

[dahlinlol]
