Unlike most musicians looking for views Im not going feed you all kinds of crap about how all my dreams will come true if you go to my channel or how if you subscribe I will be happy forever cause I would be kidding you haha
I will tell you one thing though
I’m 14, have drum mics, run a nonprofit channel, and can play with most of the drummers who get views on youtube and are twice my age!!.
So check out my cover of my hero if your interested and if not thanks for reading!
@cacman1993 yeah I'm with you man. Some advise: drop your crash lower and you'll hit them harder! doing that will pick the volume from your snare up as it would sound unballanced.
What's going on here! All of the drums covers of "My Hero" have had the same problems.
Only some people realize that there are toms being played in the intro, not just the kick. And the one's who play the intro with toms forget that there is a quarter note hi-hat pulse underlying the entire rhythm!!
As far as I know, Dave crosses over from floor tom to snare WHILE hitting quarter notes on the hi-hat and keeping the driving kick beat going. A technique I haven't seen anybody do on here.
@anolte7 Dude, the toms on the intro to the song are overdubs. Listen to the snare - there's 3 of them (at least!) on the intro. He plays the straight beat underneath and overdubs the toms and some snare flams on top.
@CharlieTRB Bullshit! Dave doesn't NEED to overdub drums. He just hits really fucking hard and makes his rhythms sound as full and powerful as possible. As for the toms, you just cross the left hand over from the snare to the floor tom and it sounds exactly like the recording. If I can play it with relative ease, then there's NO way Dave Grohl has any need whatsoever to overdub that shit.
@Jesssethebody64 No, Dave actually recorded all the drums for the first two albums. There were the exceptions of "Doll" and the beginning part of "Up In Arms." Taylor was added to the band right after the album was recorded and after William Goldsmith quit. That's why you see him in the picture on the album, but he never played on any of the tracks.
@SubliminalxGh0st Oh yea? Explain then. Cause the sound of the hi hat in the intro is VERY clear. I dont know if you actually play drums or not but if you do it the RIGHT way, you ARE hitting the hi hat. And im saying you actually hit it, not use the pedal to clamp the hi hat.
@IamFallen77 Well for one i dont know if you know what a studio is? and two i dont know if you know that Dave Grohl was the drummer for nirvana? and they did this drum intro with dave hitting the toms while taylor hawkins was playing the original beat to make it sound more dynamic. an yes im a drummer i have been playing for 14 years. and if you listen very closely you can here the toms.. they were both playing this intro together in the studio..
he was but in confusion got kicked out while the foos were recording this album. dave grohl recorded all of the songs on this album by himself. although william goldsmith wrote the drum part, grohl added the tom intro himself
you look really dumb dude. taylor wasnt with them yet. william goldsmith was the drummer at the time, but in confusion got kicked out while the foos were recording this album. dave grohl recorded all of the songs on this album by himself. although william goldsmith wrote the drum part, grohl added the tom intro himself
@easilyconfusedmusic well i guess thats my mistake. haha i barley listen to the foo's and i dont give a fuck about how i look making a mistake. i dont spend my life on youtube trolling comments being a a smartass, so you look pretty stupid correcting me and calling me dumb.. haha your fucking bitch, oh and your band is gay,
@SubliminalxGh0st At least im not a retard that can't get a simple fact right. and yeah i look stupid correct you that bull shit. Your the one that looks like the fucking dumbass, maybe you should get your facts right before you post a comment try to look cool. Pussy
@easilyconfusedmusic for one you are retarded and i didnt try to look cool. i thought hawkins was in the band when they recorded this. and your band sucks i can fart better songs than what you guys make hahahahahahahaha
okay sorry that last comment was not from me hahaha. it just makes me angry cause the foos are my favorite band and i hate when people say shit they dont know is true. and please do put up that video of your musical farting. or something that happens to be better than my band.
@IamFallen77 Well i wasnt bashing... like you are on me but i do hear the toms and you can lay them together if your good enough. By that i mean do the toms and hi hat.
@IamFallen77 haha u suck:-P the drummer of the foo fighters recorded the intro twice: one time with hi-hat, one time with toms. it doesnt matter how you play it, with hihat or with toms, its both not exactly what you hear on the original track.
Wow I record in Protools 9....what do you use? I was thinking about offering to buy the track if you do also (not just the stereo wave but the individuals) And wondered if maybe you could put an option of your own personal flare in the line...possibly a crash ride through the last verse. I am using that song on an album I am working on.

my drum teacher wants me to learn this even though ive been drumming for a long long time he wanted me to practice my bass and sppeed on my foot cuz i already got it on my wirsts but it doesnt sound like this has tooooo much bass
