Porcupine Tree - Blackest Eyes drum cover

[magnusolessen]

With that snare it's hard to make rim shots.. No i'm just trollin'. You're good :D

[incperiohm]

Lo maximo tio

[sebastianson93]

This pst5 are a awesome cymbals, i have paiste 201

And good job!

[TheMojoBeat]

I understand if you feel comfortable playing with your snare in that angle, it's nothing wrong with that. But soundwise it looks quite impossible for you to play rim shots as accents with that angle. Ever considered that?

[FinallyEditing]

Hot damn it is fun to watch you play. Amazing job.

[Javariko]

Excellent :o

[pandiegopumitas]

:O Fuck Yeah!!

[hugofbotella]

Very good! YOu just flow with the music, it doesnt seems forced

[tubefac3]

That was very cool. Nice work. Thanks :-) I notice your snare is on quite an angle. Could you explain to me the reasoning behind this? Cheers

[DrumHarder]

@tubefac3 I'm afraid there's no better reason than "i feel comfortable playing this way ! "

[amarin106]

si gavin harrison viera esto le daria mucha verguenza!!!!

[DeMaikels]

@amarin106 Que va! Si el tío se pasa por los foros de los 'mortales' y contesta a las preguntas que se le hacen. Si fuera la mitad de endiosado que tu, no haría estas cosas, así que baja a la tierra, no seas tan gili, y valora el esfuerzo de los demás.

[burntharry]

you need a bigger room so the sound sounds better. at the moment it sounds damp

[itstristanyo]

Sheldon Cooper can really play the drums! :P

[Thisacchasnewsongs]

@itstristanyo lmao, nice catch.

[dkmarine12345]

BEST ON IF SEEN YET

[ploomit]

What kind of cymbals do you use?

[DrumHarder]

@ploomit

Paiste PST5 cymbal set

[xtremedrummer4life]

Dude, awesome! Have to say that i wouldnt do that many fills with a band around, but thats been covered already :P my cover is nowhere near as good as this, good job!

[loeffler666]

Truly nice cover guy! I'm surprised! excellent!

[RA710]

Are those PST5?

[DrumHarder]

@RA710 yes, whole set of PST5

[tkivoband]

great job. specially the ending.

[davebiy]

oh dear god that was excellent!!! gavin would b proud

[JakSpringTooth]

That was Jesus. 

[GrandMasterScotty]

YEAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

[dbassboy94]

This is SOOO SICK!!!

[Leischna]

i agree that it's a nice cover but i hope if you're playing this with a cover band you don't do that much fills because when it's a drum vid like this i find it ok to turn up the fills a little but i think it would be too much if a band was around

beside that there is only one thing i would change about the cover

the 3 stroke rough in the refrain is a little "bumpy" so i'd practice it some more

still you are a freakin good drummer ^^

[DrumHarder]

@Leischna

Sure I would not play the same if a band was around ; I assume to play a 'drum' cover here.

Also, about that 3 stroke rough (and a couple of breaks), I was inspired by the Blackest Eyes record from the album Futile Ep, this song being recorded Live At Xm Radio. This version's more punchy indeed, I suggest you listen to it !

Thanks for your constructive comment =)

[drummerkid904]

@DrumHarder

I was about to give the same advice. You are a simply INCREDIBLE drummer, but a few of the rolls could be smoother.

Amazing cover though.

[milesliber]

@Leischna

Must also add that he actually does not have much more fills than in the original song of Porcupine Tree.

Furthermore I will advise you to stop playing counting on your right cymbal in the pause. He might do it live, but you shouldn't, it kind of ruins that part of you'r cover. Live and cover is to different things mate ;-)

[djferret2]

Made it your own ... loved it ... snare build after drop changed to Ride !!!.. top job ...

[genoarrc]

This is nothing short of amazing.

[brucespringtoon]

Awesome dude! Good job!

[killercreek450]

hot damn! that was fuckin sick!

[TheHuggles09]

dude that was awesome.

[paperbackraita]

The intro is WROOOONG bro! Unless you're doing it your own way, Its kickass nonetheless!

[genoarrc]

@paperbackraita Covers aren't about being exact or spot on, its about showing your own interpretation of a song, adding your own flare.

[drummerkid904]

@paperbackraita

He's just tryin to make it his own man :) thought the same thing at first.

[SadAngryFace]

nice work my friend, not an easy song to replicate :)

[GothicaKenny]

i like ur drum set :) what's the brand? :D

[DrumHarder]

Paiste cymbals you probably recognized, Evans drumheads (Hydrolics & Super Tough), and TAMA for all the wood !

[killercreek450]

i have bubbles in my mouth

[spybot25]

good job

[Darkkurama0sannin]

x9000 stars cover. AWESOME, GODLY DONE

[evya686]

wow!! great job!!

[sarcasmspb]

very cool man!!!!!! great!!!!

[Lesstra]

Really relaxed & cool drumming :)

although, that angled snare... I couldn't do anything with the snare in that position :)

Can you at all accent notes in that position? And by accent, I mean hit rim and head at the same time? i don't really know the term in English for that type of stroke...

[Th0rze]

Do you mean a rimshot?

[Lesstra]

well, I don't believe that's what I meant... rimshot, as far as I know, is often used in slow songs, latin, jazz, etc.. What I mean is basic stroke, but while the tip of the stick hits the head, the middle part hits snare rim, so you get more attack, sharp, and much louder sound... I use this always while playing beats, except in fills.. Some drummers, like this guy, don't use it at all.. Know what I mean now? :)

[utubedude34]

yeah it is a rim shot. Thats cross-stick our thinking of- the base of the stick on the head, the midle hitting he rim.

[nick298310]

Lesstra

I know exactly what your talking about and i don't know how he would accent that.

[xperta1986]

simply awesome great feel on the drums there mate ! :)

[zephyrous7]

good job man!!

[gitarzystamaciek]

[FreakMitHut]
