Hey man nice playing the drums on laturalus, I noticed that you seem to be playing with alot of passion which makes it a awsome set.

Yeh bad, i close my eyes a lot, i thought it was pretty funny too. i look so un-coordinated

[kmehta22]

good cover mate!  it's always nice to see another person's take on a song, especially one as intricate as lateralus.

[dr420chino]

absolutely awesome cover!! well done you really nailed it.

good to see some passion go in to it!

No one can play this song right unless they have a gong. So good job.

[Simpo28]

Come on its 1 single fucking beat :P

[TBBucs]

This is true. The gong completes the song :)

There are so many losers on YouTube who memorize the songs note-for-note and completely lose the spontaneity and passion that is the fun of drumming. I love how you played the "open" parts where improvisation is expected: within the framework of the song, but on your own. Great work, keep it up!

Hey man, really nice job! My band covers this song, I love playing it and it was a huge challenge to learn. The site tooltabs had a somewhat helpful drum tab that clarified some things, but not all. You might ck it out if you haven't. Great job on this truly compositional, thematic piece. :)

Thanks for the comment, much appreciated. It's not a song that i felt i wanted to learn 100%. Simply by jamming to it i felt it took me on a inspirational journey. So i never bothered to fully learn it. Its an amazing composition and i only wish others would discover it. Cheers

Hey dude its andrew from uni, awesome drumming dude, this cover was really well done, nice going

[Zildjian232]

good cover man. Whats the sticking pattern for that snare and cymbal business at 4:00ish

[atsarvos]

Hey, i think the pattern you are refering to is the 5 stroke roll. I hit the crash on the first downbeat then hit the snare 4 times. That is R(cymbal accent) LL(snare ghost)RR (snare ghost) L (cymbal accent)RR (snare ghost)LL(snare ghost)R(cymbal accent)... I'm sure you get the idea. You can find it in any rudiment book. Cheers

Hey mate. Totally agree with the feel comment. Good to see someone enjoying this incredible song. Even as someone who doesn't drum, I still enjoyed this clip.
