  • i love it! awesome job.

  • Nice job. I love your drum kit too. Keep rockin' man, you have some talent.

  • That was badass dude, had some tasteful licks in there that added a bit to the original IMO.

  • Very good, and the drums sound good as well.

  • Very good job, you look like you enjoy playing and really that is all that matters. I would give about anything to be able to play half that good.

    keep up the good work and keep posting.

    5*****

  • WAY better than me but not as good as Michael

  • Nicely done sounds great

  • Beautiful.

  • you are the men bro.... the way how you play drums .. fuck men a real beast greetings

  • Hell yeah, son. Tight. Well done.

  • 14 year old nails this song...funny!! Derosier was the real deal. Had a lot of Bonzo influence in his songs. Great job on a very hard song to play correctly.

  • Hats off to you Pauliewanna :-) You say you had a few mistakes, brother that's pretty much a given with drums. I say you nailed it and the ticket payers WOULD appreciate !

  • Dude that was bad ass! I always wanted to learn that song but never got around to it.

  • Fuckin'A Paulie!!! Hell yeah!! I looove me some Heart!! You nailed it bro!! I enjoyed seeing that aside from all the Rush despite that they're my all-time favs! lol

    Great to see ya do something else! You should rehearse for Heart man!

  • very skill man ... definitely enjoyed this

  • "not perfect"???? What???

    Where?

    Sounded damn perfect to me.

  • what is the level of difficulty in a song like this vs. a harder Rush tune, like Tom Sawyer?

  • @cbarrett34 Ever tried playing this song?

    You'll have your answer when you do.

  • @TheWitchOvAgnesi i'm not a drummer. i'm a guitarist, i can play this song just fine. the drumming on it looks intermediate/upper intermediate, but it isn't advanced like a Rush song

  • @cbarrett34 Sorry, I misunderstood what you meant. What I find hard about this song in comparison to a Rush song is that the sticking is more precise and "snappier." There is also a "pulse" to the song that has to be replicated (whereas I think most of the Rush songs tend to be more linear and time-based - I think Heart's songs, like this one, require more of a sense of the feeling behind the song to replicate accurately).

    I'm by no means an advanced drummer, but I find this actually harder.

  • @cbarrett34 I guess what I'm trying to say is that, although it may not be as "technical" as Tom Sawyer for example, it sure isn't easy to play and Michael DeRosier (drummer on Little Queen?) exhibited a perfect command of the energy behind their music at that era.

  • @TheWitchOvAgnesi well, the person to ask would be Paulie, Paulie, is this harder than a really hard Rush song?

  • this is what it'd look like if lesley west played drums

  • Not as clean as the Boston take, but still pretty sweet. I think I like the little adds you put on better than the original's.

    What's up with all the negativity lol, I think they are jealous!

  • Hey man, I liked it. I been around since this song first came out. I don't know why some people have to be such assholes, nothing better to do i guess. Just keep doing what you enjoy

  • Pure Beauty!

  • Awesome! Dude, you rock!

  • Man you got a few douche bag comments. This is a fucking hard song to play correctly and you nailed it. There aint no 14 year old playing it like that... unless he's the next Buddy Rich or Jeff Porcaro. Anyway, thanks for posting this video it is inspirational and great to just listen to...

  • !! woah→ just saw 3:06 !!! classic flip ! right ON.!

  • Great sound..Great job.! 

  • I must have watched this over 100 times. It is in my favs and hard to beat , UNREAL!!!!! The drums sound perfect . I have the Tama Granstar set which I really like the sound I get. What mics are you using and which drums are these? Thanks

  • solid! Heart would be turning their heads

  • awesome drumming man, i love this so much, such a good beat and simple but awesome fills too :D i wanna cover this now :)

  • Still great Paulie. Rock on my brother.

  • One of the best versions of barracuda so far. Congrats, man.

  • If it wasn't perfect, it was very close. Great song I love it. I knew the song had a lot to it, but it looks fairly intricate.

  • Great song and you did it perfect!! COngratulations dude!

  • Very tight, very clean, very nice!

  • Come on boy, you got the talent...make it happen. *****

  • Very smooth and solid! Thanks for sharing.

  • Hey seanseventytheasshole, aren't you going to tell us how your bands drummer is so much better than Paulie is again? You have nothing better to do than lurk around You-Tube and criticizes people that are better than you are to try and make yourself feel better because you can't play an instrument? Is your parents last name Tool? What gives you the right to post this kind of shit. Your just jealous, right? I noticed that your account that was filled with your awesome band video is closed. Idiot.

  • Crisp. Excellent jam. Great rhythm

  • @ seanseventy that wasnt even a drum cover, it was an entire debauchery of the song, but however performed by 14 yr olds at there grade school talent show, i suppose thats why they recieved so much credits and hits..jackass 12 yr old

  • I watch this many times and really enjoy the hard work to nail this great song. Seems very hard to play but I am trying off this video. Can you tell me a good set of mics and name of power supply, Thanks and again ths very well done and myn Favorite. Hope to hear from you

  • Great Job

  • Prey

  • @RockCarlosss WHAT?

  • @Pauliewanna

    Nice. This is actually a pretty tough tune time wise. It's a mental psyche out for most drummers. Right on man!

    T

  • @Pauliewanna

    Nice recovery at 2:46. That's the mark of a pro.

  • why on earth are you ripping on this guy? hes only playing the song and posting it...hes not claiming to be fantastic or even knowledgeable with this particular tune. I checked out the 14 year old youtube video...its horrible. But yea, tossing out insults behind your keyboard makes you tough.

    On a side note, do you play any Smashing Pumpkins or Metallica?

  • Send me a link to the 14 year old nailing this song with 100000 hits and I will go there and congratulate him/her.

  • @Pauliewanna that guy is an asshole, iv been looking for a cover of this song so i could learn it for my band yours was the best

    2 year old plays drums!! lol they consider themselves a prodigy,the things that make a good drummer are never to obvious, for example i used to idolise joey jordison,but since realized its about groove rythm time keeping and smooth fills,youn ticked every box! :D id say the best drummer at the moment is nick mcbrain awesome,so many suttle things i have learnt from him

  • @Pauliewanna yeah, I'd like to hear this 14yr.olds version too. This is my favorite song from back in the day and I can hear every little nuance and Paulie as I said before...you nail the drums in this tune, in fact, I actually do not need to hear this 14 yr.olds version, this is the best!!!!

  • @seanseventy you do cover of the song, you rotten piece of shit.

  • @seanseventy This guy obviously cant read. He said its not perfect. Just a jam. Retard.

  • u rock man

  • If youtube shuts down your site, I'll figure out a way to host it myself. I hope you have saved all the originals. We just need a lawyer up front. This is stupid, I've bought three albums tonight just from watching covers.  Is this not promoting the albums to a profitable conclusion? Pauliewanna you are the Bomb!!

  • Was that vinyl I heard?

  • Dude! I've watched quite a few of your vids and I have to say, FANTASTIC! You make it look so effortless. Rock on man!

  • Better than the original....Impressive. Do any session work?.

  • I dream of it, but that's when I'm sleeping.

  • niceman!

  • i said it before and i say it again if you don't have work in music its a crime and ill be pissed off if Neil hasn't answered your video challenge

  • I don't work in music, but would love to. Neil never did answer my video, but it really wasn't for him and I wouldn't expect him to. It was more of an expose of what youtube/umg and all the other fucks-that-be are perpetrating on actual promoters of the music that they 'own'. And... as of this morning, there's a good chance Youtube is going to shut down my site.

  • Is that a really fast bass drum or a ghost note on the snare?

  • Both.

  • im serious dude how long u been playin? cause i know one o my fahers friends been plaing the drums for like 10 years or something and he is not even close to being as good at it s you are man!!

  • U sound very (Really) close to the song plz reply

  • thank you. What would you like me to say?

  • Don't know really

  • hehe =P

  • DUDE!!! that was cool man. how long u been playing the drums?

  • CHUCK BISQUIT STYLE. LOVE IT DUDE!

  • bro you are probably better than most studio drummers!

  • HeeHEE,LOVE the "flip-stick" during this!! Gave this video an EXTRA amount of "fun" while watching and also gave it that "Paulie" style!! Great vid.

  • Again...awesome!!!!

  • Very good!

  • Nice job... Derrossier is/was a great drummer and you definitely did it justice.

  • did you ever think about being a studio musician

  • ONLY IN MY DREAMS

  • well said lol

  • Excellent job!

  • Awesum dude...simply awesum more plz

  • nice kitt

  • Man, this is my fav. song of all time and you've nailed the drums,,f***in amazing!! I can't get enough of this video!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111

  • That was amazing you are a great drummer i love this song you did the best job covering it. I play drums myself and was wondering if you have any tips, i play guitar and piano too, and i know how to play this song on guitar but now i want to learn it on drums.

  • Awesome compadre! Thanks for posting.

  • Damn dude, I've been playing guitar for over 20 years now, but this song ALWAYS makes me wanna play the damn drums! You nailed it, nice work!

  • Great work man, this is awesome!

  • EXELENT ...

  • I wish i could play a instrument... ive always wanted to learn how to play the drumms since i was like 6. but i never could learn... Now my next instrument is the piano. But still love to learn how to play the drumms

  • Hey you don't have to learn, just spend 15-30 min a day on the drums playing to radio because you never know what song comes on next. Just keep playing, most great drummers never had a teacher. When you get good expand your set and find a band, anything you want to do you can do!

  • This is exactly what I did early on and it was for the same reason you mention -- I never knew what was going to come next and It forced me to come up with something at least musical and in the same time signature with the same beat as the song that I didn't know.

  • perfect cover its falwless!

  • STRONG drumming! No there are at least three guys on you tube who know how to do Baracudda...one of them just can't get his foot quite there yet... this fucking song arrrrggg. It's coming thanks for the inspiration!!! You rock!

  • you are really amusing to watch.. it's something diffrent than playing good.. good job.

  • "You mean, let me understand this cause, ya know maybe it's me, I'm a little fucked up maybe, but I'm funny how, I mean funny like I'm a clown, I amuse you? I make you laugh, I'm here to fuckin' amuse you? What do you mean funny, funny how? How am I funny?"

  • P.S. for anyone who doesn't know, this is a verbatim transcript from Joe Pesci's character in "Goodfellas"

  • amazing cover! Nice stick trick dude, you know how to play! Obviously.

  • I enjoyed  watching you play. You seem spot on with the timing. Great job!

  • Now thats how to play barracuda..great job brother!

  • eres buenisimo wey

    no mames

    te quedo

    muy bien la rola

  • Wow, you and JJ are the only two guys on YouTube, that know how to do Barracuda. Thanks, you rock!

  • Perfect. Nice style. Kit sounds awesome!

  • Very nicely done master!

  • again, brilliant, nice and tight, great recording, I'm inspired to do some drum vids myself now, thank you!

  • Yo! great video! I have watched it over and over. I am trying to learn to play Barracuda. But I am having trouble with the bass speed. Please help me by writing down one measure for me. Thanks you. If you have time. Thanks again.

  • There is actually another video I did of JUST my feet for different parts of this song. Check that out and it might help.

  • nice man! i love your videos! keep it up

  • awesome like when you twirl the drumstick!!!!!

  • I'm going to see Journey with Heart and Cheap Trick this Saturday at Shoreline in Mountain View, CA. It is going to be awesome!

  • They were in Detroit a couple of weeks ago. I didn't go, but I heard it was pretty good.

  • Great drummer-  keep it up!!!

  • You're brilliant!

  • wow KFpand123, he's got skill man, more than you for sure. Anything more constructive to say? Something like, "man, you're a sick drummer, I wish I had your skill"... Anyway Paulie, nice as always... I was just re-watching it today... seems like a fun tune to jam to

  • Good job man, awesome!

  • One other comment. The only difference between a professional drummer and one doing it for fun is money. So once again, Good drumming is good drumming and you are good drummer. Keep it up. Sound great! I would like to see collaborations with you and other youtubers. If you know any Zappa stuff I would love to see that.

    Fluids

  • General comments. You are great drummer. Don't get caught up details of missing notes either from yourself or others. Good drumming is good drumming. Even good drummers make mistakes. About this song. You play through the end phrases fills and breaks better then anyone I have see cover this on youtube. They get too caught up in their fills while you are solid with your groove which is the most important thing with this song (not flashy fills.) Great job!

  • What are you doing with all these other band covers?? Play more Rush!! Lol.

  • After the first 40 or so Rush vids, people started saying "don't you play anything but Rush?"

  • But Rush is the best! More Rush please! Lol.

  • Paul, If you made a mistake playing this song, I didn't see it. You did an outstanding job playing one of my favorite songs! I downloaded it to watch on my Blackberry and share with my friends also. Thanks, Dave

  • I missed one little snare hit at 2:43.

  • Sweet! Killer fills! with solid beats. Just as good as the original.

    (or as close as you can get)

  • aww that was ill when you threw the drumstick up and caught it at 3:05

  • dude u should try some metallica and nirvana

    that be badass

    nice drumming

  • DAMN!!! how much was that drum set?

  • cool  man~

  • Hey whenever you get the time, could you please do a vid of this song with the just feet angle you used on red barchetta. The doubles in the song always screw me up, and you play them flawlessly, it would be great to see how your doing them.

  • I suppose I could probably record some portions of the song for you to demonstrate the parts that are different. Maybe this weekend if I have a few minutes.

  • Thanks alot, that would be spectacular

  • It's up.

  • Solid.

  • you did alsome! if you were a thirteen your old girl i wish i could have you as my drumer (its not soposed to be a insult its just an all girl band) great job ;)

  • tit.

  • nipple.

  • is that some new-fangled slang for 'good' or 'bad'?

  • i hope your not in a band cause if your not...You should be in my BAND. But wait....first of all i suck.... and second oif all a band with two drummers?

  • seriusly ur insane Paul :)

  • UN.....B....LEIVABLE! Perfect.

  • Wow, you are a really instense drummer! Nice showmanship on 3:05. You really rocked this song!

  • Yeah I agree I have watched a lot of his clips... Hes great I know but he really nails it on this one.

  • definitely one of your very best

  • Big P's got carazy talent...spot on..and a great tune, more Heart puhlease

  • ur crazy good!!! nice studio!! r u in a band?

  • And another one from one of my favourite bands!! Rush.. Heart.. I'm enjoying checking out your vids.

  • that was sweet!

  • What an excellent job! Man, you were so in the pocket!!Way more than 5*'s!!

  • Very nice as always. Can see you feelin' that one. It definitely is "one of those tunes". Keep on rockin'

  • good job, i love all your vids.. i myself will put up some vids of rush after i finish micing and videotaping..

  • man this is the song that made me want to start drumming to begin with. you really nailed it. nice drumming as usual ;)

  • Yes, it's one of 'those songs' for drummers. I rank it up there with "fool in the rain", "Rosanna/Hold the line", "foreplay/Longtime", "Wayward Son" as 'songs that make me want to learn to play the drums'.

  • it's like.. you have a mental connection with that kit... awesome

  • Are you in a band?....If so is there a myspace page or something where i can check it out?

  • awesome job on an awesome song!

  • dude! that was crazy, u aced that and i luv that song

  • that was right on man, sweet! i love wathing you drum and alien666 too. you guys rock.
