Nice. One thing would suggest if I may is to tighten that right crash cymbal a bit so there's not so much play in it. On some of your hits when the cymbal is in the down position the right hand stick isn't making as good a contact as when it's in the up position. Those right hand smashes would be much more consistent with the cymbal tightened down a might. Great vid though. Really tight.
This was a pretty good cover, near perfect, the best I've seen around to say in the least, but I find your cover taking away the power of the song in a few places. The snare sounds great, really, but it does not fit the song. Also, at 2:30, I would leave that alone. The space adds contrast to the power, the beat you played doesn't fit, but it was a nice try. Besides that and very light tempo troubles, overall real great job here. also ignore the name, sisters account rofl
good job man!!!! have you heard the song call two inches from a main artery by through the eyes of the dead? i know the song sucks but i can play that song on the drums.
Yo your camera must be expensive to capture that fidelity and quality in 360p which is at the quality i'm seeing this vid and it sounds fantastic, of course after i post this i will put it at 480p to delight my hears. Your set sound great it must be expensive too.
Haha love the traditional grip, you know as i watch your early videos and then move onto your more current ones, i have to say you really got talent man.
overall pretty nice and clean, you are really progressing technically since your early videos =]
as a constructive criticism you are somewhat lacking on feel; as i said technically good but it feels very cold because you don't add a lot of feel, but I guess that will come with time as you find your own style, keep it up!
Nice work man...very nice, tight. Exquisite tuning & sound, esp. the snare--high & tight, but with a throaty punch. You do exceptionally well for the brief time you've been handling the whole set. I'll bet you've done some excellent percussion work previous to that. Hey, stop by & check out one of my drum covers from the old guy...old school. Different style but you might like it. Try the Chicago tune before the others though. Hey man, we'll be hearing your name again...good luck to you!!
I gotta say this is really good along with the rest of your videos. Unlike most of the other people on youtube, you use nice equipment and it sounds great, keep it up.
well steven hasnt been playing as long. hes getting really really fucking good though. once hes been playing as long as cobus has then im sure hell be as good.
this is after a year and a half? damn your pretty good. Good job
