This (and the other version) really are quite extra-ordinary my friend. I love how relaxed you manage to keep it, and you are very economical with your arm movements. Love the left hand on hat stuff. Really, this is fantastic stuff, and you deserve all the praise you have been getting.
I'll be using your video as THE guide as I finally force myself to get to grips with this Vinnie masterpiece - suffice to say, I don't expect to get it anything like as relaxed as you!
VERY well done... I'm a Music Director with a degree in Theory & Composition and an aficionado of odd-meter [Sting & Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber especially]... so, for what it's worth, GREAT job, bro...
@brotaku thanks for the kind words!! i have lots and lots of vids up on my page! check em out, let me know what you think. i also have an updated version of seven days with my new camera gear. thanks for watching!
@drumzz84 You are welcome—and thank you for your reply; means a lot! :) By the way, what splash are you using (the one you hit right at the beginning)? Just curious. I'll definitely look at your new "Seven Days" video. Kudos and happy 4th, good sir!
@brotaku yo, it's a 10 inch ufip splash. but in that vid, the whole set up is a mix of different things. that was shot 8 months ago. now im endorsed w istanbul cymbals.
dude, do you have any understanding of how phisically and mentally wrecked my brain would be if Cobus liked one of my videos. You're either very good or very lucky
@deedlebag cobus i need to say this, YOU ARE F***ING AWSOME; you are the reason im playing drums, you are a inspiration dude, seriously,love your channel, and your covers are freaken awsome, YOU ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!! lml
@deedlebag right on!! thanks soooo much for checkin out the vid!! and it was crazy awesome to meet you at lama this past week. i hope for you all the success in the world with your vids and your new drum channel endeavors! rock on!
@deedlebag i just have to say, if it wouldn't because of you i wouldn't start playing drums, when i saw one of your videos for the first time i waas like "men, when i grow up i want to be like him, an freakn kick ass awsome drummer!!!" 2 days later, i got my drumset i ve been playing for 2 years now, because of you i ve found an instrument that when i play it, makes me feel like free, makes me feel confortable and happy, you r my inspiration dude, you rock cobus :D!! probably you wont reply this
I had a hard time just counting along to this (lost the one a few times in the chorus), so to play this as perfectly as you did is very impressive. And the kit sounds great!
how do you get your right hand that fast and dynamic on the hihat?... this is awesome...ohh and congratulations on mike johnston now being a fan of yours xD
@c0d3x001 thanks!! as far as my right hand goes, i play along to songs that are faster than seven days. things like funky drummer by james brown and empire state of mind by jay z. ill spend half an hour just grooving to those tunes to get a good workout. then when i go to something like 7 days, it feels easy in comparison.
@zeptimp thank you!!! i am endorsed by istanbul cymbals! in this vid though, only the ride and crashes are istanbuls, the china is sabian hhx, the left splash is ufip, the centre splash is a zildjian.
@zeptimp crashes in this vid are 17 and 19 inch alchemy's and the ride is 22 inch idris mohamed sig ride. hats are 14 inch istanbul funk hats. i also have a 20 inch alchemy thats not in this vid, as well as some istanbul agop chinas.
Congrats!. You make it look easy which says a lot about you in terms of technique, groove, time, precision and dicipline it takes to transcribe then work and work and see the project through to completion. Keep up the great work.
great man...the only acceptable drum cover of thet song on the tube...great groove.... taste, sound and excencially semplicity.... good job..you're a great drummer.
Hi Jeff, I saw that you responded to my video but it went away. Excellent job though, keep up the good work. One thing, in 5/4 you would have to play this song at about 182 bpm. 5/8 is the time sig at a much cooler 91 bpm. This song is a good right hand work out! Peace!
Hi this is xpozetv.com You are hot dude. You are truly one of the best drummers we ever heard. You are going to have to be on our show . This is hot and entertaining. We have a hip hop, r&b show yet man what you do is universal. We love you. You better keep sending your videos to us we all dance and vibe to your drums. Keep drumming we never get enough
By far the best cover of this song ever.You really catched up the spirit of vinnies plaing in this song. Dynamics are good, fills are perfect and timing is awesome. As you said, this song is a nightmare to learn and I'm really glad you were able to learn every single stroke vinnie has done on this one in the studios. Must've been a lot of work to transcript this. I'm getting 6 stars out of 5 and I don't think anyone could ever come out with a better interpretation of this song than this cover.
you're very talented! i don't think i could ever pick up playing the drums too well! i ahve great co-ordination when it comes to dancing but when it comes to playing a musical instument im rubbish at co-orination lol x
hey everyone, thanks for such wonderfull comments! i'm so happy you all are digging the vid. preparing to make this vid took over my life for pretty much 2 weeks. with transcribing and practicing.
