the ghost notes are not in the first half, they're in the second half, and yes, they're not ghost notes anymore, unless you've got a lot of wrist technique, which is quite hard, but it's okay, it's pretty nice, keep it up
we once had someone perfect this at my school and we put the backing on and as we were recording it for his coursework preety much EVERYONE in the perfoming arts area heard it and had gathered round the door
Like all of dance , drama , music and art and tech / p.e (there all close by) came by an all to see what the fuss was
they were all mesered for 10 minutes as we had to re do!
Wow, your amazing! I would start playing the drums if i had time... I have been playing guitar for eight years though. I think you might be famous one day.
btw, i thought you were Dom there for a while! XD
well done on the song..I liked your little tutorial you did on starlight, was entertaining also.
I think you should do a similar vid for this on just the first half of the song to show the bass pattern. I know whats going on but can't get it right.
Did you go to any of their stadium tour gigs recently?
During the crescendo on the snare, is it just 8/16 or is it like 6/12 notes, I hope you understand what i'am trying to say, nice cover by the way! :), It sure sounds like 6/12notes....
nice, perfect, but wats up with the song?!!lol it's my favorite muse song, i am going to learn this song on drums so i can do a 1 man band cover of this song
Not very good drumming, sorry =P You had bad technique and you completely misinterpreted the song. Also the whole idea with your different camera angles and making sure to record the mediocre honors this video received is very condescending. Not very good man =/
I'm not entirely sure about the drumming, looks fine to me, but I'm not a drummer. However, lots of people record the honors the video receives, to remember all the video's achievements. Since the honors disappear, it's nice to recall what ones your video had. He's not showing it off to everyone, just putting it there for those who care. As for the cuts, maybe it makes him look a bit more professional? It's what we strive for as amateur video makers.
Starting this song next week for my music class, problem is I have no idea how to play it. Is there a basic version of the beat you could recommend that would keep time but still sound like this? Or perhaps tell me how the (main) beat goes? Getting stuck with the intro's beat on the bass and hi hat.
in the original recording, dom has ghost noted snare hits inbetween the hats and snare and on the first beat of the double kick. ive seen so many drum covers that havent either picked this up or tried to..godd job anyways
Hmm.... Well I guess I was confused -- in this video I never actually see your bass leg. But my question was more geared towards the original recording -- during the verse, what kind of bass drumming is going on? It can't be just steady eighth notes, can it? Where does that "horseback" western kind of feeling come from? Do you understand what I'm asking? Sorry for the confusion.
2 consecutive bass drum notes throughout the verse - its very hard to do...plus the addition of ghost notes on the snare (im not adding them in this video purely for clarity reasons) - visit my website for the tab - you'll see what I mean :)
5/5 my names also adam and omg i also play drums greeaatt job im learning how to play this song so i can berfore it with my bad at my bar mitzvah any tips if u want to see my youtube vid just type in "urilevy" just like how it is spelled once again GREAT JOB very hard song to play!!!!
Damn! I always thought you have to use some insane ghost notes on snare, but i think now that it's the bass sequences roaming on background that makes drums sound like there would be those monster ghosts in the original song.
