I just want to thank you for all of your support!!! Every one of your comments mean a lot to me and I want you to know that even though I cannot respond to everyones comments, they really do mean a lot!!! So thank you once again!!!! Also, if you have any questions that you may want answered or just want to talk, just message me and that is the easiest way to get a hold of me.
Dude, I'm not even kidding, I would rather listen to this more than the original song just because of your drum playing, much more on my taste than on Paramore's original drummer. Fave'd! Keep it up fellow drummer!
You can jam the fuck out on a small set. :D! That makes me happy, I have a TAMA Rockstar, Its a small set, and I can play it all around. I hate big flashy sets.
They are Remo Ambassadors on all resonant sides. The toms have Remo Emperor's on the batter side. I have a Remo ambassador on the snare batter side. And the kick has a Remo powerstroke 3. Hope this helps! : )
just awesome! lots better than the live-drummer, they have on their last shows :) you should be the new one, i'm serious dude! is it right, they have three guitars on their actual live-set?
Ha dude I just realized the way you play, I'm the exact same, left handed on a right handed kit. Never knew anyone else who played like that. Anyways its a damn good cover man!
I don't think he's a lefty. If he was, the set-up would be flipped (left leg on kick and right on hi-hat). I'm pretty sure he just plays open as opposed to crossover. Like this if you think my guess is correct haha it's just my opinion!
AMAZING! LOVE LOVE the stick flip at 2:28! Mega talent! It's only a matter of time before your discovered nationally and then LOOK OUT! Paramore NEEDS you to complete them once again!!
@Titleification Yeah, I learned to play left handed on a right handed kit growing up so that's what is comfortable to me. I try to switch it up though and play right handed too every now and then. For example, at 2:49 I start to play right handed. Hope that helps answer your question : )
This just motivates me to play better! Awesome job mike!
