Avenged Sevenfold - Bat Country Drum Cover

[drumbot739]

I love the sound of the bass drum. MY bass drum sounds like @#$% where did you by that bass drum and how much did it cost.

[wwwrighttospeechcom]

fucking awesome, fuck those 11 haters

[dotA7XLE]

hey man, the only problem m having wth this song is the fill/mini-solo at the beginning of each verse, manly the second time, am i suposed to play 32nds on the bass too?

[cause7890]

Why dont you get triggers instead of all those mics?

There around the same price

[Ichigi000]

Good skills!

[emmalars1902]

hit more strong to snare, the snare sound is so fuckin gay....

[megaparkour]

Agh my ears ._.



[tuty94fruty]

i dont know whats wrong with your bass drum but to me it just sounds wrong

[meriodeti21]

you are the boss!

[speakerwall91]

Hey man, sorry to be a pain (as i know many people have asked) but what exactly are you doing in the fill at around 2.30?

[mulletpower2009]

[989jer]

[ragnaroksama]

better than jimmy (way too overated) or cobus, u did exaclty...like the way it was recorded ( i know cause i play rockband everyday on that song only with the sound of drums and i get 96% on expert lol i hear the exact same thing ur playing)

[AdamTL7]

@simodrummer09 You got it!

[FR3NCHY177]

@AdamTL7 This is embarrising, but when you get your first drum set and get good on that one and need a bigger kit do you buy a who;e new set or just buy different parts for the drum like another bass for example? please answer

[JoeMama165]

Nice choice of cymbals good sir

[weed940]

[Everette024]

Love your description. it's so professional!!! grat video dude keep up!!

[987654321adam]

i'd say use less compression on you bass drum :P and bring your snare up :)

[AdamTL7]

@987654321adam Believe it or not there was actually no compression on the bass drum :P

[987654321adam]

@AdamTL7 ok then :P

how much eq and gain is on it :P

[switch0123]

yea you look angry but your talented nice cover

[0redthunder0]

I thought your toms sounded pretty tasty tbh lol

[AdamTL7]

@0redthunder0 Indeed :D

[shockyGOOFYfish999]

Nice but your bass needs to be turned down

[Adiaf8oros]

Nice cover but wtf is wrong with the bass drum?

[AdamTL7]

@shockyGOOFYfish999 And...comment removed.

[DaClutchstah]

First person on youtube ive seen attempt the slow part the correct way, but it still isnt quite right. Good job though, better than most.

[jerejeans]

good good good

[AdamTL7]

@TheSTRIKE4220 actually he was alive when I made this video haha but still thanks! I appreciate it :D

[TheSTRIKE4220]

The Rev possessed your body, because that was flawless.

[Pikkuzelikki]

Nice shirt! And oh, kick ass cover, too!

[AdamTL7]

[mygayrich]

@JoeBologna1520 yeah sorry but thanks

[SZDrums]

Awesome cover dude! Best on youtube! I really like your kit too. 3 floor toms = awesome :P

[AdamTL7]

@SZDrums WOOT WOOT!

I'm back to 2 now though haha

[brandon030290]

@SZDrums watch cobus he blows all drum covers out of the water

[SZDrums]

@brandon030290 Actually I didn't like his cover of Bat Country. All his other cover's are great though.

[brandon030290]

@SZDrums that is true but he was also kinda new to the game when he made that

[AdamTL7]

@SZDrums OH YEAH haha. Believe it or not, one of them here is a 13" Rack tom, just mounted to look like a floor tom!

[alecccisbest]

Slow part = Actually right :D

And this whole cover is so amazing, I..I... Um.. No words to describe it, dude

[AdamTL7]

@alecccisbest YAY

THANKS MAN! :D

[alecccisbest]

@AdamTL7 You are quite welcome, my good sir :D

[solidusnake92]

Fail at 3:35 :P Bassdrum has to be as fast as the Snare. Hardest part of this song imo

[AdamTL7]

@solidusnake92 Oh hey, someone noticed haha. I couldn't do that part that fast, so I skipped out on the bass and only used it on the eighth notes of that section, rather than sixteenth triplets.

[muziquero28]

Is it just my speakers or the bass drum really sounds like shit?..

[devonator15]

The rev would be very very proud.

[james000vickers]

i loved it maybe on of the best on youtube.

I think i may have been my head phones but too much bass drum (i have bassy headphones)

[TommyLuptak]

Almost 12,000 views! Nice!  Real Nice! :)

[MrSuperDoosh]

great, bass and toms sounds fine :)

but ur right about the balance :\

[bounty2444]

good cover but please turn down that bass lol and turn the song up more

[LegacySouthpaw]

way to wear a dream theater shirt

[AdamTL7]

@LegacySouthpaw Yup. And this was before Mike played for A7X, before Jimmy died.

[ilikeamp]

yea u are better then that cobus guy. he does waaaay too many fills in his songs. i mean yea he's good but i like this bat country better tthen his

[ridemaster101]

awesomee playing dude, wish i had your kit and ability, maybe a part of the rev reincarnated in your kit :)

[DrummerOfVendetta]

Your snare is amazing!

[kmblodorn]

first person on youtube ive seen get the slow part right

[AdamTL7]

@kmblodorn YES! Haha thanks :D

[gutsnot]

@kmblodorn Haha i hate that part lolz

[thereverand15]

@kmblodorn if youre talking about the ghost hits, they arent actually quite right, almost but the left hand does a triplet while the right is hitting the crash

[zoso445]

oh btw what pedals are you using?

[AdamTL7]

@zoso445 Tama Iron Cobras in this video, Pearl Eliminator Demon Drive in newer videos.

[zoso445]

[AdamTL7]

[MCAmaZ]

[lilromeowifey1]

dude you have style when you drum

[Zynpar09]

Dream theater shirt!!! Niceee

[marcr1994123456789]

It doesnt sound to bad but coming from a sound man who is also a drummer you might want to consider tuneing your bass drum and maybe lighten up on the dampening.

[TheSentinals101]

i played this at batle of the bands last friday we lost 1st by 1 vote

[MetallAndy]

That was tight!! You did The Rev justice! 5 stars and favorite!

[linkinpark4949]

omg i just watched this after your break cover, you didnt eq this one did you? :P

[AdamTL7]

I did, but in the older program, so basically, no. :P

[hawkmaster3000]

awesome!

[maikiki86]

is it the MAPEX drum kit??

[AdamTL7]

@maikiki86 PEARL!

[DogWoodDrummerDave]

Great Job Adam...The Rev would be proud!!!!

[foxman236]

That was fantastic.. should be a solid 5 stars.

[AdamTL7]

@foxman236 Thanks! :D

[bayview63]

Nice job. So many mics lol. Check out my cover of this song :)

[Nightmare3x3]

OMG thank you so much. a good cover finally!! I'm gunna put my vid up but im also wondering... whats your snare, i love it!!!!

[AdamTL7]

Thanks man! :)

It's a pearl VMX maple 14 x 5.5 snare with a Remo controlled dot head!

[DontL00kB4ck11]

u should try equing ur bass drum, i love the sounds of ur toms dude nice job on those

[shadoweater123456789]

your toms sound sweet!!!

[mzpHaZaRd]

You're cool for wearing that Dream Theater stuff, too bad without it you'd look like the biggest fag I've ever laid eyes on.

[AdamTL7]

Can you play Bat Country on drums?

[oplivecrime206]

ur automatically kick ass ur wearin a dream theater shirt!!

[AdamTL7]

I'm wearing a Dream Theater bandana and wristband too :)

[DrummerOfVendetta]

@oplivecrime206 Right ON

[xDrumsx4xLifex]

lol the snare drum has the indian bear design on it

[xDrumsx4xLifex]

i dont understand y people like to have a silly tom at the left, when it falls out of order with the rest.

[ryanlikeshockey]

what is you china?

[AdamTL7]

17" AAXtreme Sabian.

[XxKurt247Xx]

Sounds really great man, the little splash hits on the chorus make it really cool, i dont know if it was me or it sounded like your bass drum/ mic was a bit distorted, experiment with some different mic positions to see which you like best, anyways, great job man keep it up!

[AdamTL7]

Thanks for the input! I actually just re-did my bass drum. I tuned the batter head really loose instead of tight, replaced the thick blanket inside for a pillow and have the microphone only sticking in a little now...It sounds so much better!

[nightfoxteam]

how do u have both of ur heads (resonant and batter) tunned on ur rack toms?

[Slymandue]

HEY FAGGET KILLSWITCH u prolly fuckin watch utube and wishing u could play how bout u show some respect idc if u chirp me not adamtl7 YOU SACK OF MASTURBATING LAZY SHIT!

[foxman236]
