Foo Fighters - Everlong Drum Cover (Rock Band 2 Expert Drum Chart) on real drums

[dpez0001]

I know nothing about playing drums, but I like listening to them !! I've always thought the drumming in Everlong almost make the song. Great choice, man. Great vid, well done !!

[BrandonCaryMusic]

Love the invisible guitar dude! Nice job

[theclinicalcase]

Great job ! We recently posted our first band video of Walk. It was filmed on iPhone so don't judge quality. But feel free to comment and add us as friend :)

[chroylikesfish]

that was amazing...but i would invest in another snare

[davidshek]

@chroylikesfish My snare is fucking awesome. It's just a bad recording done with a crappy overhead mic.

[MrHankstain]

Zildjian FTW ;)



[TheLordOfSorrow]

Heiiii!!! I Really Like Your Drum Cover! Sound Awesome dude!! :D!! And btw I wanna share my Everlong guitar cover with you! Check this out on my channel; and what you think DavidShek!? Metal Greetings!

[jej495]

Show the game nerds how its done bunch of lazy couch potatoe bastards

[Deathz0r94]

Badass.

[Ludwikia]

Good cover.  The mic job wasn't great, but getting that right is a LOT harder than people think. I don't give a shit one way or another about the hi-hat; you're the drummer, do whatever you want.

Anywho, keep having fun.

[howweirdo]

good cover. my advice to you would be to play on the tips of your sticks when you're playing those 16th notes on the hats

[nitromeguy]

God. Someday, I'll be able. For now, I'll play something... easier...

[xEDGEHANNIBALx]

Dude fuck the haters man they're just trolling on the Internet. This cover was really good and this song is really hard. Keep doin what you're doing. :)

[YoungMLoks]

nice!!!

[lucasadverse]

awesome

[dennydoesfilms]

that was great!! Now I'm stoked for desk drumming at work!

[daniwebe]

Wheres your zildjian cymbals?

[tmosley444]

Hi hat needs tightened.

[DisposableHeroes0]

You hi hat is how you want it to be which is wrong for this song, in my opinion. Of course in a cover you're free to change things and put a bit of yourself into it, but you're playing along to a drum chart

[davidshek]

@DisposableHeroes0 I'm playing a drum cover. I'm playing it how I want to play it. I'm not trying to make it sound exactly like the album.  Therefore, by definition, it cannot be "wrong".

[DisposableHeroes0]

@davidshek Thats what I thought just before I typed the comment, but you're playing along to a drum chart at the same time, bit of a contradiction.

[arc0604]

Sick

[arc0604]

Sick

[markuks]

That was awesome!

[FabDrummer91]

Awsome cymbals man. must of cost a shit load for all AA & AAX's.

Btw...whoever says Sabians are shit, is a dumbass..theres a reason why there known as the Big 4 cymbal companies and are the second largest company in the world.

[parthor1]

God Sabian cymbals sound like utter shit.

[davidshek]

@parthor1 So does your comment.

[YoungMLoks]

@davidshek lol. nice comback

[thedifference2011]

@parthor1 yea thats why many off famous drummers use them stop talking crap they sound fine

[fleabass2b]

is it difficult to play this song? my drumers say it's difficult...

[foolishfate]

So,the eternal question..

1) playing rockband helps play drums in real..

or..

2) playing drums helps play rockband

I'm guessing number 2..

[davidshek]

@foolishfate For me personally, #2. But as a general answer, both are true.

[gladiatus366]

@foolishfate Both, #1 happened to me :)

[dragonsyth10]

i love the drums in this song they seem pretty complecated

[kwikbeatzproductions]

that drumset is badass. i wish mine was tht good . haha

[XCILE625]

AWWWWW, dude u are so amazing, I'm 13, I wanna take drums just for a hobby, I dont know if ill be good?

[davidshek]

@XCILE625 You'll never know unless you try. :) I didn't start playing the drums until I was 15!

[XCILE625]

@davidshek I'll try, atleast I'll be doing something other then forcing my parents to home school me and playing COD all day, I everybody's got to admit, thats some slick drumming their

[ThatGamerDude92]

@davidshek How long have you been drumming? I've started when i was 15 also, and i'm 15 now Dx

[davidshek]

@ThatGamerDude92 Nearly 20 years now :-O

[SADFEETFEAR]

Ahh sweet, been looking for this type of video.

[popeluigi]

I would kill to have your kit. Just sayin

[OFFICALTHREEHALFS]

jesus' second coming... oh wait.. he got a haircut! ;)

[VitalyLab]

You should re-do this vid but keep the hi hat closed in the verses.

[pwner19]

@VitalyLab haha it is closed

[HiddenNijaNZ]

Fukn EPIC!!!

[vdoza33]

thumbs up for bald head =D

[xDimHalo]

Lmao, I was brushing my teeth while watching this video, and after like 30 seconds I noticed I was brushing very fast to the tempo to the song xD

[TheSexyHamster]

One word: EPIC... especially the hair!

[thestjimmy108]

That was pretty awesome.

[0danishdrummer0]

sell a couple of cymbals and buy some mics.. :P

[gibsonlover103]

bass sounds off but good job

[passion4drums]

pearl drums and sabian cymbals. that's the way to go bro

[woodwindvista]

that was awesome man. ps- I'm woodwindpizza from the rb forums!

[rebelgamer94]

wow you miss alot notes ahahahaha and yet you manage to beat the song

[iasm94]

if theres someone that still plays rockband drums and havent tried a real kit yet,

believe it or not its harder on real drums than in the game lol

[BrokenSafetyScissors]

sick man. honestly though, just my opinion but i do think ur hats shouldve been tighter just for this song.

great job tho, i tried n died.

[skubischta]

Okay - I'm convinced.

Running a modified Ion, I'm going to get a Roland snare, and move the hi-hat to where the default snare should be. I think that's the only way I can make progress with some of this stuff. Also - about the 6th time I've watched this... picked up the right-hand play on the hi-hat with left hand snare during the transition. It sure looks more natural the way you're doing it - thx for the video!

[spectre486]

Question Mr Shek. Other than the single stroke roll rudiment, is there an excercise that can help my forearms from burning out to quickly?

[davidshek]

@spectre486 Not really, you just need to build up some stamina. But it shouldn't be your forearms doing all the work here. It's all in the wrist. :)

[DougFnDrake]

@davidshek id like to point out that the forearm muscles move the wrist....just sayin

[LukeyBoom]

@spectre486 Loosen up a bit and use your stick bouncing back to your advantage, Double Stroke roll, RRLLRRLL. kinda hard to explain but I hope you know what I mean. :)

[phil656565]

@spectre486 jerk off? lol, but seriously rock climbing works great for strengthening forearm muscles

[Ixirevengeixi]

nice i love it.

[lskjlsdkf]

BALD

[askkfgg4]

Idk What All The Rude Comments Are About Ive Never Been A Rude Commentator And Im Not Gonna Start This Video Is Good Very Good I Might Add And For Those Of U Who talk Crap About It Why Dont YOU Upload A Video Nd See If U Can Play this Song Cuz I Bet My Money U Cant At Least This Dude Has Skills :D

[VidGameProductions]

@askkfgg4 Why type in all capitals?

[askkfgg4]

@VidGameProductions Just The Way I Like To Type Its My Thing Really Everyone Judges Me By It Its Not Like Its A Crime

[VidGameProductions]

@askkfgg4 I'm not judging you, I honestly used to do the same.

[askkfgg4]

@VidGameProductions Oh No Lol I meant Others Never Meant To Say U Just Yea Lol

[SDiZZy619]

GANGSTAR.

[LiamLabrynth]

i love the cover you did, even if it wasn't accurate to the rb drums, i hate how they used the hi hat for snares and the rolls in the chorus on the snare where labelled for hi hat, but overall well done (:

[traflaz]

Hey I recognize your drumkit. I saw it on doc's mod. I lurke there often!!!

[J3zzyD]

NIce set man! great drumming

[theboogieman114]

LOL @ Funnydudes12

i thought the red was the A string mate ;)

great drum cover over all, i was surprised to see that, while not being 100% accurate, the rockband chart was pretty similar to the song, in turns of beat pattern and what not. although i wasn't focused too much on the chart itself, was focused on the drumming.

i thought you did an excelent job. i would've sworn it was Dave Grohl himself up there! (As Hawkins wasn't in the band when this song was recorded) great cover!

[SiceCBR]

awesome!

[RyanWesty23]

red is the hi hat in this song!! haha what a tard

[Almightytoaster]

The chorus is so fun to play.  Great cover man.

[whereschadchanning]

i dont undastand y people r sayin this isnt a good cover....man u r fukin good..i have been tryna learn this since 4ever...LOL..

 its jus that my hands lose ther intensity a lil more than halfway thru the song..good fukin job tho

[Pouteen]

this song is so tiring

[drummeryan337]

Nice cover, please check out my drum cover of Everlong I just put on my channel! Thanks.

[dxrules1012]

man ... these faggot who are all like "DE SNURE ISH R3D" listen to the fucking song lol

[yowatup678]

u suck!

[funnydudes12]

the red is the snare retard. and you do have a big bald head.

[davidshek]

@funnydudes12 Really? Even after watching this video, you're going to make a completely idiotic comment like that? It doesn't take a genius to figure out that the red is the frickin' hi-hat during the verses of this song. But thanks for outing yourself as a moron in front of all of Youtube!

[mrmusicverse]

@davidshek That is what I myself am having trouble figuring out, David. Why was the drums part charted like that? I am still having great difficulty with it., playing what amounts to a disco beat using only 4 pads. That is a stretch for me.

[davidshek]

@mrmusicverse Because of the layout of the stock RB drum kits, that's really the only way they *could* chart it and preserve the natural sticking used to play this beat.

[mrmusicverse]

@davidshek Oh. I honestly did not think that was even possible. Thank you for clearing that up, David. I greatly appreciate it.

[spyderpilotuser]

@mrmusicverse cuz playing yellow with reds every little while would be awkward to play because either u'd have to do a crossover or hit it with ur left hand... which is like impossible for me to do.

[TheGuitarsNStuff]

@davidshek Nice job man.

[leopak85]

@funnydudes12 i hate Rock Band player... they play with a game and think to be able to play a drum...

[jokawild555]

@funnydudes12 Red is either hi-hat (in some songs) or snare (in most songs) The same way yellow is hi-hate or hi tom and blue is low tom or ride... Why don't you actually play Rock Band before posting stupid comments!

[TylerFlipp]

@funnydudes12 Lol you're stupid. You try to diss this guy and correct him when you are completely wrong. Failure.

[Ixirevengeixi]

@funnydudes12 Yes, funnydude is not very funny eh? more like an idiot.

[sezuor]

@funnydudes12 Wow you're an idiot

[stevieguitarify]

@funnydudes12 hey dumbass if it was guitar hero it would actualy be red because guitar hero has a hi hat. so for guitar hero it would be yyyyyryyy stupid ass

[triforce10155]

@funnydudes12 So you think the majority of the song is a disco beat on the snare and an accent on the hi-hat? Something is fucking wrong with you.

[ITALY6767]

@funnydudes12 in verses of the song the snare is played as the hihat...now if you have ever played rockband it wouldnt take much to know that.....But you just made yourself look stupd on you tube....have a nice day

[su1c1d3xs1l3nc3]

How do you get that rockband video over your drumming video? o.o

[luisTHC]

Too bright.. Good skills but I don't like it..

[Popstar484]

nice drumming!!! i culd use u in my band :D i play guitar so i dnt know much about drums just that they help u keep up lol

[wulsjuhh]

imo looking at those rock band charts and looking at you drumming it is the best way of learning a song ,, thanks bro for rocking ! :D you rock

[shortkid614]

dude that drum set is awsome!!

[LittleJcon]

what a kit

[ABK1505]

It's a awesome amount of cymbals, but i doesn't mean it have to be horrible expensive. My friend has lot of cymbals, but they were cheap so the total amount was not horrible.

[davidshek]

@ABK1505 Sure, but these cymbals (Sabian AA and AAX) aren't cheap. :)

[yowatup678]

THE RED IS THE SNARE IDIOT!

[davidshek]

@yowatup678 Uh yeah, not in most of this song. But thanks for posting your incorrect comment twice, it makes it doubly funny!

[yowatup678]

@davidshek shut up crap face

[drumsmakenoise1]

@yowatup678 The red isnt the snare? its the hi-hat, Yellow is Snare...

[ClaW177]

@yowatup678

Actually in this song it's swapped around have a listen to the actual song or listen to drum covers you Naive child.

[razz2k8]

@yowatup678 wow your fucking retarded lmao

[yowatup678]

THE RED IS A SNARE IDIOT!

[Sheridan1423]

i like the looser high hats, less strain on the arms

[m0ns13ur]

@Sheridan1423 Not quite sure what you mean. Are you referring to "looser" being "open" versus "closed" hi-hats?

[Shadow6441]

How much did the drum set cost?

[davidshek]

@Shadow6441 More than I want to count at this point :)

[DisposableHeroes0]

No really it needs tightening. Also that was a flawless cover

[TaBproductions]

i noticed it seems like during the long red parts you consider that the hi hat... yet when the red note is played on some of the other parts of the song you use the tom... correct me if im wrong please

[davidshek]

@TaBproductions I don't believe the red is ever a tom in this song. It does switch between hi-hat and snare though.

[mario1136]

nice

Its a good idea to use rock band or guitar hero to learn songs on drums

If your talking about guitar though - totally different story lol

[seg940]

You did an excellent job my right hand crap's out by the end of the verse, the only thing this need's is a good miced bass drum

[autumnandroid]

you know you're bald AND suck at drums right? cool.

[davidshek]

@autumnandroid You know you're an idiot AND blocked from my Youtube channel now? cool.

[slemborgg]

he dosent suck!

[jesussk8r1231]

@autumnandroid shut up did you know that your stupid AND have no life for posting hater comments?cool  ppsshhh idiot

[adan235]

NIce druming

[ashas09]

sick video

[ashas09]

in a gd way

[ssblindSH1]

he likes wounded soul alot

[iciclepyro]

@ssblindSH1 he is the drummer of wounded soul.

[turner099]

I love this vid. great job.

[Aioria91]

it looks easier on the real one oO lol

[SpaceAce2593]

@Aioria91 it is easier, rock band is harder to play because you dont have that bounce that real drums do

[CanApiGs908]

@SpaceAce2593 i disagree, becuz with real drums you need to memorize everything, no chart, no other instruments helping you (unless your playing with your band), and everything is spread out a lot more, with more to hit, and certain areas on each drum or cymbal to make a different sound.

[SpaceAce2593]

@CanApiGs908 charts arent hard to learn unless you want to be perfect, its best to memorize the entire song and add ur own fills, it makes u more creative, and also you dont need to hit your drums or cymbals certain ways to make them sound different, the harder the louder, and having stuff spread out isnt a problem, keep ur toms within stick distance and pointed toward u and close together and ur fine, just have the hihats and ride close, crashs are set high or low, close or far, wherever u like

[numbr1acemouse]

whats the point of having the rock band image?? It would be just as impressive without

[davidshek]

For my fellow RB players out there, so they can see how the colored notes in the game they've been playing match up with actual drums.

[zackattack94]

@davidshek do you have mics connect to your set?

[davidshek]

@zackattack94 I think in this video all I used was 1 overhead mic.

[ajmjdj123]

Daaaaamn now that was sick

[dugoutpimp]

you should do this for guitar hero world tour

[LtDeath10]

EPIC HAIR!!!!!! no this isnt a comment saying u are bald but i love the hair that u have.

btw epic drumming man

[IJUSTWANTAACOUNT]

Nice job !!

Just get the hi-hatt al little bit tighter...

and you can play in the Foo Fighters !!!

[Ozz3r]

nice dude like it :D if i was to play it though i would play the hi hat on the top not the rim it gives a good sound and its alot easier to play because the bounce is full

[MrPretzelStickz]

OMG LOOK AT ALL THOSE CYMBALS!

[thelorintu]

awsome dude ignore those cocks who talk about ur bald head ya see there just probaly jelous awsome awsome awsome

[Noobydude5]

Awesome druming

[iSewil]

@CITIZEN

How the fuck do you think you are!?

[stefanjovanovicuk]

this song is soooo not easy! i get tyred in the first minute.... great job!

[kpac1671]

awesome!!

[1rewd1]

There's one hair up there ...

[jphdoc]

Your head is big and bald

[Millemilax2]

LOL

[meSSican80]

wow....that was great...... my alltime fav song and HE NAILED IT. great job!

[TheEman67]

YO THE HIGH HAP IS YELLOW

[davidshek]

Only during the chorus. During the verses of this song, the hi HAT is red, as you can plainly see if you actually watch the video.

[Millemilax2]

red = hi hat??

[davidshek]

On this song, during the verses, yes, red = HH

[Millemilax2]

nice ideam: but i saw 3:14 was wrong

[davidshek]

I said in the video info I wasn't sticking exactly to the chart. Therefore it cannot, by definition, be "wrong". :)

[Millemilax2]

sorry :)

continue posting drum covers,

good joB \m/

[HDmusic1080]

desde hoy te admiro

[cumoncity1987]

dude U ROCK!!! if u have the time.. my vids are nothing to ur but wouldnt mind if u rated me and/or commented on my vids :)

[shiner131]

why does everyone wear those earphones or whatever they are on there ears someone plz reply

[Raberoo]

So they can hear the music.

[shiner131]

like the song ? it plays in the headphones ?

[Raberoo]

Yup. They plug it into there I-Pod and play with that.

[BobTookABigDump]

because they need to listen to the song to know when to start playing and keep track of where they are in the song. to not go too fast. or too slow.

[luckystar171]

they listen to the music so that it's not in the background. and then they add the music in the background.

[IrealheroI]

they are listening to the song :)

[YOUNGMAN333]

It makes the drum set sound better. Also some people listin to the song there covering.

[xRaKu]

@shiner131 cus without it it fucking kills ur ears

[seaeagle22]

your hat needs tightening

[SCown16]

nice drum! dont like the hair :B

[davidshek]

Well as of 3 weeks ago, the hair is all gone now. :)

[thelorintu]

this is fuckin serious me and my friends were doing this last night at a concert and i was doing the guitar and i was standing right beside the drums and it sounded fuckin serious hes was a legend at it

[madronedrums]

it's really good, but not 100 percent, couple of flubs on the turn arounds and fills. great job tho
