Slayer - War Ensemble - Drum cover by Vic

[osensei75]

That gnarly drum roll right before the bridge is so righteous!!!

Rock on!!!!!!

[heviii100]

hey man! you're so fucking KING!

[tonyagto]

0:19 - 0:28 Your Boss Dude! Keep it up bro \m/

[V1C2]

@tonyagto glad you enjoyed it.

[alejovargas2006]

los paltillos se deben tocar más rápido, por cada golpe del redoblante son 2 del platillo, don´t like this, es mediocre

[V1C2]

@alejovargas2006 i hardly ever get any positive comments from spanish speakers. why? :( ¿por qué no me gustan los españoles

[emreokur921]

Thats a cover he doesnt have to play exactly the same...Good job man

[methanoic80]

Well Change the title and add my own cover

[V1C2]

@methanoic80 yeah probably a good idea. says it in the description though already

[methanoic80]

u play random not like the song

[V1C2]

@methanoic80 me play like me wantz

[tomrogo87]

your toms are like thunder! :D great stuff!

[MegaFunnyUsername]

why are people being so critical of this vid? i think its an awesome cover

[V1C2]

@MegaFunnyUsername i like criticism

[NotSpiffums]

This is the only clean version of this on youtube. fuck.

[overmavys030]

Nice :D

[V1C2]

@V1C2 do you like know what a triplet is? im the drummer of a thrash metal band actually

[SideWays8Productions]

@V1C2 Must be a new wave thrash band then. Triplets up the shit in this cover. Clearly you haven't heard the original more than three times.

[V1C2]

@SideWays8Productions clearly

[itsamesupermario]

dude. you're totally cheatin on the hi-hat part during the verse



[V1C2]

@itsamesupermario you gotta cheat to win

[SideWays8Productions]

@itsamesupermario he cheats at every part. idk what deathcore song he's playing but it sounds pretty close to War Ensemble.

[V1C2]

@SideWays8Productions yeah i gotta confess. its the sideways8 reenactment of the slayer original. the actual title is "sideways8 productions - menstrual ensemble" with just that extra bit of juicy deathcore that were all missing in slayer

[Likestodrum334]

what meinl cymbals do you have

[V1C2]

@Likestodrum334 mb 20 heavy crash 18 and 20 inch. the 20 inch one broke.. the 18 inch one is still going strong after 5 years.

[Likestodrum334]

@V1C2 Ooops i forgot your hi hats sound good too, what are they?

[V1C2]

@Likestodrum334 you think so? i dont like it much. its a paiste 101 brass or something. the cheapest i found at the shop

[97Mizzo]

love your double kick action mate! what kit are you playing?

[V1C2]

@97Mizzo thanks. the kit in the video was an old yamaha that im selling off (its a great kit, as can be heard + if youre interested ill make you a good price!). upgraded now to a tama starclassics performer in silk white.

[robmil5220]

awesome cover bro. And the snare sounds fine to me

nice work

[caporalchef4]

What's wrong with your snare, bud??!!

[V1C2]

@caporalchef4 its an alien from outta space

[caporalchef4]

@V1C2 LOL!! I asked you a simple question, you fuckin idiot, why can't you give me an intelligent answer??!! YOUR SNARE DRUM SOUNDS LIKE A GODDAMN GARBAGE CAN COVER!

[V1C2]

@caporalchef4 i probably cant give you an intelligible answer because im just not quite as elqouent as a bilingual war lover. choose your words more wisely next time mister.

[caporalchef4]

@V1C2 LOL!! I'm a war lover because I'm a soldier, right? HA! There's something about the words ''National Defense'' that you obviously don't understand, boy. And, what does my ability to speak 2 languages and my proffession have to do with the fact that your snare drum's awfull sound overwhelms the overall drum's sound?? Can't handle a little criticism, hmm?

[V1C2]

@caporalchef4 honestly i dont give two shits about anything but you seem the kind of choleric type and i just wanted to have a little fun fun

[V1C2]

@caporalchef4 & no hard feelings

[poisonedflood]

@caporalchef4 i bet the snare is open

[caporalchef4]

@poisonedflood Yeah, sounds like it. He's not bad but I just can't stand his snare sound.

[V1C2]

@poisonedflood the snares were on actually but it wasnt tuned properly

[bounty2444]

@caporalchef4 the snare sounds pretty good to me....

[V1C2]

@bounty2444 in hindsight, i would have taken off a lot of reverb but youtube wont let me change the soundfile to the video..

[Ani232]

Holy hell. MARRY MEEE!!! ;D

[V1C2]

@Ani232 eine wütende deutsche also?

[Ani232]

@V1C2 ist, dass ein Ja? hehe: P

[cca50000]

Lol ur freaking AWESOMENESS! - Liz

[V1C2]

@cca50000 repect to your one man band!

[gerbile3]

hey man

how long did it take you to build those chops ( in terms of session time and overall length)?

[FUNERALBIZARRE]

2:12 excellent!!!

[rwoods2k]

on fast parts....8th notes on the ride, but then only playing quarter-notes on 2 and 4 when you go to the HiHat? ...thats isnt how Lombardo plays it.

[V1C2]

@rwoods2k nightmare

[darthjavader]

@rwoods2k I think it doesn't matter how Lombardo plays it.....I play this song with a lot of differences as well, I think playing drums is all about having fun!! I think it's a pretty good cover!!

Regards!!

[lovestospooge646]

Triggers on the bass drum?

[V1C2]

@lovestospooge646 nope! i hand replaced the odd kick

[lovestospooge646]

@V1C2 good sound on it!

[kiramockus]

great man pure and good trash

[YoungmaykO9]

pretty good cover dude , just your snare doesnt sound good at all tune it and everything will be perfect dude!!

[V1C2]

@YoungmaykO9 yeah, that and way too much reverb but its too late now ha

[BeatDrumSticks]

Gotta just love them cracked cymbals! ;)

[ElhonasFIN]

Very well done! Nice cover man!

[V1C2]

@ElhonasFIN thanks my finnish friend

[ubermplalir]

your kit makes my kit look like horseshit.

yours is all pretty with its cymbals

i only have one cymbal and its beat to shit

3 toms

one with a hole

and my hihat turns inside out

[V1C2]

@ubermplalir then you should probably fix yours up .. !

[SonataArctica6666]

I LOVE THIS FUCKING DRUM COVER.

[Ydr8mb4ss]

i like your snare much, nice cover but indeed not double time high hat.

[lm4hustla]

coool vid

[wba241168]

do you have any tips for playing the double pedal so fast?

[idogoofy]

HOLY FUCK!! im in love with your bass drum !!!

[singinboyjon]

so when u gona join a band or make one?! shhheeeshh ur a lil too gud there buddii

[V1C2]

@singinboyjon i am in one :P dyinise.bandcamp.com check it out!

[skaterdouche4]

why did u get rid of your exodus cover??? by the way can you tell me how to play war is my shepherd or give me sum tabs?

[V1C2]

@skaterdouche4 i didnt like the drum sound, wasnt very clean and i was missing a tom haha. ohh tabs.. i can try tabbing it out..? its relatively straightforward though if you listen to it a couple times.

[skaterdouche4]

@V1C2 oh ok thanks anyways

[TheCore1994]

Nice drum kit dude.

[borrelli]

Nice fill at 2:12!

[thinsulite]

Awesome but you need to listen to the song more it doesn't hit the cymbal 3 times the 2nd time like at 0:06 - 0:08 and once again at around 0:46. Listen to it more and you'll notice it only hits the cymbal 3 times at the very start and then only.

[V1C2]

@thinsulite yeah i know.. it is just an artistic impression not an exact copy.

[DionH62]

real good cover, great job

[BandaDK]

What kind of Meinl crashes are those?

[V1C2]

@BandaDK Mb 20 heavy crash 16 and 18'' although my 18'' broke a while ago.

[BandaDK]

@V1C2

Ok thanks

[Revenge8701]

Bro sex cymbals and drums...oh and playing! ;]

[V1C2]

@Revenge8701 thanks dude

[drummerg2]

cool dude

[DaPetorian1]

Solid work. It could change for Dave's drum track if anything happened... Just in the main riff, it's not a blast beat style rythm.

[Iam18yearsolddddd]

best drum cover mate

[nduchene1]

All great, but not playing double-time on the hats. Strengthen those forearms, dude!

[V1C2]

@nduchene1 yeah well haha

[abvflux]

needs more triplets

[V1C2]

@abvflux i know what youre getting at and yes i know that was my downfall :P

[IronSlipknotFAN]

nice cover

[bokurator]

how long have you been playing?? :)

[V1C2]

@bokurator about 7 years now i think? something like that

[bokurator]

@bokurator okey nice :) i have been playing like since 29th january this year :D

[V1C2]

@bokurator cool cool, keep practicing!

[bokurator]

@V1C2 Yea ofc! :)

[bokurator]

@bokurator i wish i could get a camera stand and i pair of speakers then i could record when i play on my drums : /

[CHUNCKYMR]

aaa i cant tell is he hiting the hi hat twice before the snare like with the ride, or at the same time with the snare, get me?

[V1C2]

@CHUNCKYMR off beat, with the snare

[V1C2]

@DiLlWeEd1331 thanks :) kick: remo powerstroke 3. snare: evans ec reverse dot

[Kalipto91]

you fucking rock man!!

[Scottland50]

And that crash on the left sounds amazing even though there is a crack in it. I think the crack makes it sound better O_O

[Scottland50]

That is the best sounding bass drum on the face of the earth

[V1C2]

@Scottland50 haha thanks

[monkeyfrogs106]

this is garbage wtf

[xicidarxi]

claymore is can trys and play get off ur fat ass and get out and listen to some metal bitch

[V1C2]

@xicidarxi i didnt even understand that sentence.

[makcenzie]

Kudos to you on a job well done.

[djfosse]

not bad ;)

[ninjafatballz]

u have too much money.

[V1C2]

@ninjafatballz is that so ?

[ninjafatballz]

@ninjafatballz yea fuck all that cost a small fortune...

[whiteguy86]

perfect dude

[trezer09]

hey the best cover of war ensemble i ever seen

oh other thing what are this blue things in your toms and snare?

[V1C2]

@trezer09 its moongel

[claymore098]

Haha wow you suck..... But then again this is Dave lombardo

[V1C2]

@claymore098 i still think dave lombardo is a ton better than paul bostaph

[Pedrojoca]

@claymore098

O.o u suck????? ok you should think a bit after writing stuff like that...

[ThoraxeTheImpaler34]

@claymore098 Dave Lombardo is the shit. The fuck this do sucks the cover was preetty much if not dead on

[candykingzach]

fuck yeehh! uz in a band?

[V1C2]

@candykingzach sure thing. Were called "Dyinise" check us out :P

[Pedrojoca]

hey dude, awesome cover! your toms sound reaaally well, could you teach me how to get that tone? Is it the moongel? I have it too but they keep sounding too high

[V1C2]

@Pedrojoca well to start off with you should get double coated drum heads if youve not got them already. then most of the sound is just tuning the drum right. the way ive tuned mine is to tune them to the lowest pitch without the skin being loose. theyd probably still sound good without moongel but ive just got that on to keep them from ringing for too long. hope this helps

[Pedrojoca]

@V1C2 but are these drum heads that you're using coated?

btw, thx for the answer

[V1C2]

@Pedrojoca well, theyr not coated but they are double layer ones. id post a link on here to the ones i got but youtube wont let me.

[Pedrojoca]

@V1C2 oh i got it, anyway if u wanna chat message me asking for my e-mail.

thanks for answering my questions \m/ keep it metal

[DLH8DeMoN]

New snare please! Meh.... Good drumming though

[V1C2]

@maggot95sb all remos

[xiXHARDDRUMERXix]

m8 ime 13 and i can play it coz of ur cover so thx very much man but can u do a cover for angle off death so i use it to help me on tht song coz if i do it i pass my garde 8 exam

[sentenol]

0:56 lols . love you small thingy ;D

[betonxar]

It's almost perfect. Good sounding kit and you're very good. :) Just one "mistake": when playing the hi-hat, you play 4th notes instead of 8th notes .

[V1C2]

@betonxar thats my style :P thanks though!

[sentenol]

@V1C2 Its also how i play it, its almost imposible to get tru the entire song with the 8th's

[TheReverend777]

duuuuuuude this is one of the best covers I've ever seen!! Amazing sounding kit, and you are really good man. And that cracked cymbal sounds awesome hahah

[V1C2]

@TheReverend777 oh the cymbal better had, its a meinl mb20 heavy crash. thanks for watching :)

[mammallica]

Good cover! and cover bass drum!:D

[ookikies]

Dude sick cover! Still sounds good even though the crash has a giant crack in it lol.

[V1C2]

@Rotten6Death6Mask6 nope not at the moment sorry dude.

[Iam18yearsolddddd]

love it! :)

[V1C2]

@cliffharrisbass95 whats your band called?

[metalpesao73]

suena very good! jaja segi tocando asi

[Iam18yearsolddddd]

great cover

[Scottland50]

I love how the bass drum sounds

[sicjustinmagot]

dude that crash above your hi-hat is thrashed. still sounds good though! and this was one of the cleanest covers of this song. fucking amazing

[DistinctionBand]

hey man great cover!

What mics are those?

And are your bass drums triggered?

[V1C2]

@DistinctionBand sm57 on the snare, mb 5k on the toms, d112 on the bass drum and mb 7k overheads. and nope my bass drums not triggered.

[Veuger26]

who shouted WAR!!!! at 3.30?

[brokenpsp]

@Veuger26 It is none other than the great, Tom Araya, The lead singer and bassist for Slayer.

[artemiomet]

que bien se escucha ese pinche pedal

[Shuwiy]

@artemiomet @v1c2 if you can't understand spanish let me tell you that this is a big compliment xD cheers!

[V1C2]

@Shuwiy oh.. haha okay. thanks then :D

[Johnmod112]

the cover is so awsome

just headbang !!!

[BlackGuitar265]

Don't lose hope, you're good :P:P

[PhaN70iVi]

this is a great cover. awesome job man. drums sound great also.

[V1C2]

@PhaN70iVi cheers!

[NHLboy8]

Awesome cover! :)

[FaHoBaGi]

your drums sound great, and the cover was awesome :)

[V1C2]

@FaHoBaGi thanks!

[bl00ber99]

I like all the sounds beside the snare to much eco

[MaYbYl8eR]

Hey, are your vic firth headphones a little too quiet when your playing songs like this? And is that a meinl Chinese splash?

[V1C2]

they are pretty quiet yeah. and the splash between my toms is a meinl china splash yep. 9'' i believe

[xombie1337]

2 questions: 1. How did you get your bass to sound metal as shit? 2. What set do you have?

[V1C2]

1. i used an EQ and compression and 2. its a yamaha custom

[slayernrb]

sick cover!

[nduchene1]

Well done. Only one thing - doesn't Lombardo also play double-time on the hihat?

[V1C2]

indeed he does

[skermisher95]

ur bass sounds freakin amazing

[BodomBlastBeats]

i dislike the sound of the snare i would tide it more ..but excellent clean drumming ;)

[AleksiMetal]

Dude that was fucking crazy, Awesomee! Do you take requests? If so, Try 'The Legend Of The Rent Is Way Hardcore' by Here Comes The Kraken, It might not be your style entirely, But its fast as hell, If you cant do it, Its cool (: 15980/5

[V1C2]

@AleksiMetal thanks man. i would take requests but pick a different song :P

[AleksiMetal]

Okay then, Beast And The Harlot by Avenged Sevenfold? To commemorate the death of the late, great 'Rev' "D

[snupcho]

Great job! Really nice and clean. Just one little thing - Lombardo plays with double strokes on the hi hat during the fast passages. Like when you go on the ride. So do most of the thrash drummers like Benante or early Cavalera. It's tough though cuz your right hand never rests...

[V1C2]

@snupcho thanks! and yeah i know, saves energy :P

[zisku99]

i love how your toms move when you double bass :D

[brutaldeath15]

you are really good on drums man... maby you can try another song, more dificult... a really chalenge... from lamb of god... or born of osiris... they have really good an dificult songs... luck man... nice work...
