Solitary Glen covers Dream Theater - Pull Me Under

[bkwilson22]

Excellent job!!! This was near perfect and I like the creative liberty you took with your interpretation. Way to nail this... even the syncopation was perfect. Thanks for sharing your skills!

[MCRUE78]

You got some serious skills,freaking awesome!

[SkateboarderFinn]

Awesome style and great fills!

[guillermofalcon]

In Terms of Dynamics... This is, Hands Down THE BEST Cover of Pull Me Under in YouTube. Great Job Man!

[gspot27]

@guillermofalcon Thank you!

[skywyre]

how do you go about tuning your tom heads?

[dtitaniumman]

Dude! Keep it real..thumbs up!

[99mgfan]

thats awesome bro!! great song btw!! 

[kalakalo1]

what is your double kick ?



[gspot27]

@kalakalo1 It's a Tama Iron Cobra Rolling Glide.

[lawdog1301]

Damned good job. This is one of the hardest songs for me to play. There is a lot of action, changes and whatnot. I am an old fart and after playing this, I have to take one of my nitro pills. :)

[principleOfpain]

3:34 perfect

[DreamTheaterisGod1]

i love it

[Sutch66]

Awesome bro!

[noconflictbanana]

@gspot27

Oh kk , in case you do not know, the g spot is the a very sick word...

search it up

[savakill2012]

I can come back days and years later..still the best...fuggin rock bro.

[wclampet]

really nice work!!!!

[SkateboarderFinn]

15 jealous people 'cause they can't learn the fill in 6:32 - 6:35.

[faizal5271]

amazing!!!!!!

[gspot27]

@faizal5271 Thank you!

[tdragon68]

very good glen!!!!!

[zepedrorock]

Great cover, I watch it very ofter.

Can you please tell me which is the splash right above the first Mounted Tom (the 10", I guess)? It sounds really amazing.

Keep on Rocking, hope someday I'll record some videos like yours.

[gspot27]

@zepedrorock The splashes are (from left to right) Paiste 11" Dimensions Thin Splash, Sabian 10" AA China Splash and Sabian 10" AA Brilliant Splash. I no longer have any of these. :(

[Keyblade660]

6:32 - 6:35 o: omg.

[futis49]

just perfect ! 5/5

[Zappycakes]

Luv tha lasy snare @ 4:57

[Zappycakes]

Yet again fucking Awesome

[1frxns1]

you seem to handle the drums so easely and controlled, keep up the hard work

greetings

[binolar]

awsome!

[cassitos1]

you are fucking awesome

[samael1981]

I am not disappointed at all.  Solitary Glen you are a very talented individual. Very nice!

[GuillermoSmyser]

Great video, seen it a few times now, never gets old, but now I gotta go watch some Live in Tokyo for the vocal parts that just tear your soul apart and put it back together better than in was.

[ovdevilz]

certainly the best of all pull me under cover. probably a bit better than the original version with your own filler.. keep flowing with the rhyme~

[JIMBO0183]

HELL YES!!!!! SO FUCKING AWESOME!! GREAT JOB MAN!

[godzillafireman]

orange hat+ red neck shirt= An amazing drummer!

[Padge314]

Dude, you and Machine Gun Smith should do a drum collaboration video of some kind. You're amazing.

[JiggaSzat]

I love it!!.... I'm here every day listening to more and more of your work..... would love to run some ideas by you.... possible extra income for you.

[gspot27]

@JiggaSzat Thank you! And I am always looking for extra income! :)

[cyndalsky777]

finaly somebody who can actualy play the original correctly 

[nedswebjunk]

Dude, that was fantastic!

I think that yours and Dave Lombardo's are my favorite drumming videos to watch on YT. Granted, I don't know jack shit about drumming theory (is that an actual thing?), but I have a very sensitive ear for rhythm and a fondness for complex beats like Dream Theatre's and Slayer's, and me thinks you very clearly have nailed this DT classic.

Bravo!

[Micaeldrums96]

sound very nice your paiste RUDE!! :D

[TheLt2323]

r u guys talking about the fill at 3:20

[SkateboarderFinn]

Dude that's insane! Better than the original played IMO :-)

[bobmonse]

[makalele3003]

nice drum covers you have xD

[ishaya2k]

you fucking nailed this song, dude!!! probably the best drum cover for this song on youtube!!!

keep rockin!!!

[jonx76]

Excellent Cover man!!! Favourite and 5 stars!! keep it up! \m/

[Mellover3306]

Not too bad! Overall, I think you did well. I noticed a few parts that you didn't play it exactly how it was. Elaboration on your part wasn't bad. The "fill", you know the one I'm talking about too, wasn't played properly. The quad sequence was correct, however you played the fourth set of quads on the snare, when they should've been played on the first tom. 2/2sn,6/2sn,2/2sn,4/2tom1,4/2t­om2,2/2tom3. I'm just anal about it. It was awesome though. Not bad. Best on YouTube, as far as accuracy!

[gspot27]

Thanks man! Yes, I know I played that last quad on the snare instead of the tom but I wanted to keep the spontaneous feeling and 1 take that I recorded instead of doing the whole thing over again or just that fill again.

I appreciate your comments!

[Milkman23]

Great Cover! btw just wondering what the china is top right. I love how it sounds.

[gspot27]

Thank you!

That is a classic! Paiste 18" 2002 China.

[Milkman23]

Thanks so much

[EbonyStar36]

I Love It! Absolutely Amazing! :-) I'm SO a part of your fan club, lol!

[thlogger]

that musta been a beast to put together! fitting all the cymbals into the right spots and everything!

[drummaster1386]

wat double pedal do u have?

[gspot27]

It is a Tama Iron Cobra Rolling Glide.

[alexbm75]

u respect your work!

regards

[MuscleBound46]

Nice job brohem. Shame however about the crappy acoustics in that room, lol.

[anthonystuart69]

i'm listening to this with the same headphones XD

nice drumming, love that song :D

[Zedriv93]

This vid is going straight to my fav and ofcourse 5/5

[reznov4]

what set do you have (brand)

[gspot27]

It's Pearl BLX. Check my channel page for details.

[reznov4]

k when u buy a drum kit the one i want it says it comes with a high hat stand now is the pedal with the stand?

[gspot27]

A hi hat stand consists of everything you need to open and close the hi hat cymbals. All you need to do is add cymbals to it.

[wilz373]

I' m drooling just looking at your drum set ! i want one like that to ! thats it I'm telling Mum to bye me one for christmas :P

[Birdlova]

@wilz373 lol, me too. I just need to get one like those it's AWESOME

[Gnecro]

Awesome job! Very amazing!

[Braveheart2k91990]

[steltek71]

U love your cymbals an they love you ^^ +5°! total awesome!

[G3LEBEL]

I want you in my band!!!!

[TehKnot]

I love it how you manage to fit in the cymbals, like the end, it's awesome. And the best part in the whole video along with timing, are the cymbals<3 :)

[christoph1234567891]

very good cover i love it. dream theatre songs are not easy with timing. you're good. make morge covers ;)

[hiydradrummer51]

holy shit dude that was sic keep it up bro

[jimorocks]

WoW! brother that was awesome! really! are you not playing in a band? I'd love to see you do some kings- X stuff, the older songs. I can set here all day and listen to you play! Your Robert Sweet impression is awesome also! wish you where here in seattle! I hate doing my own drumming! nothing worse than a guitar player trying to drum! especially stuff like this! LOL! hey good luck, your awesome, keep them coming! I'm listening! along with the other thousand's. Peace!

[jesse9999999]

At first I thought you were trying to compensate for something with all those cymbals, but then you used every single one :P

[hockeydude2116]

This just made my day. Great job, you have a ton of talent man!

[anclass]

you rock man!

you're very good!

[metalheadsilay]

are you doing zifras using your ears or looking notes in the tabs?

[gspot27]

I'm not sure what "zifras" is but I generally learn song by ear and memorization..

[PANDA11500]

Hey Glen, Congratulations !! Dream Theater's tunes are too difficult to play Specially drums !!!

[gspot27]

Thank you!

[jpetrucci05]

Glens a beast on drums

[gspot27]

LOL, thank you!

[upissimo]

Bravo ciccio, dihane!

[CAnoeggerath]

Dream theater has the very best drummer by far of any rock n roll band I've seen over the last 40 years. I fear I'll not see a band as good in my lifetime. Phillip Savage

[ryanthiessen19]

you should try exploring some other drummers out there, in the last 40 years there has been alot of good ones other then just mike portnoy.

on a side note, 4:11-4:30 that beat is absolutely sick.

[hildebrand009]

He is very very very good, I also like Robert Sweet from Stryper.

[kraastopher]

Catch Faith No More when they come to the U.S. and your fears will be soiled upon.

[mackaus1]

best dream theater covers on youtube!

[DaleClough]

Excellent!

[b34rd4dlov3r]

I don't like your drum's sound.

[Daphfz1]

wow thanks for that brilliant comment, must have taken you hours to think of that LOL..

[Mapexish]

Said i before ill say it again" You are Damn good :D!"

[drummerboy5193]
