The Cult - She Sells Sanctuary drum cover - Crappy Beginner Drummer turns 2 (months)

[wendyscampbell]

Great Job. I'm just learning myself and also going through a midlife crisis (43). I love The Cult so you were helpful in my trying to learn this song.

[CrappyAssDrummer]

@wendyscampbell Hi! It's a pretty fun mid-life crisis eh? Way more fun than a sports car! I am very happy this was helfpul for you. That's how it's supposed to work, eh? Happy drumming, and I look forward to seeing some of your videos soon! :-)

@CrappyAssDrummer "...from the era when "alternative music" actually meant something, and subculture wasn't mainstream yet."

You said it all, man. I'm always glad to see that no matter how many millions of idiots listen to nowadays crap, there will ALWAYS be the 500 who have a good musical taste. Keep it up!

[CrappyAssDrummer]

@babalufinho Hahaha! I'm glad someone picked up on that! Thanks for the comment!

[babalufinho]

@CrappyAssDrummer Oh, and one more thing. I've been to a Cult concert in São Paulo a couple years ago, and not even THEIR drummer played it like the original (OK, Tempesta wasn't the drummer when Sanctuary was recorded, but he is right now). So don't worry about it, "original" is a loose word. You did great, man!

[CrappyAssDrummer]

@babalufinho Interesting, I had heard that live and studio were quite different. But I have always had the studio version in my head since listening to it a million times in high school! I have never seen them live, unfortunately. Hey, do a youtube search for crummymusician (won't let me post the url here...) - the top hit should be me using the same drum track adding the guitar and bass myself too. DEFINITELY "original" is a loose term! Let me know what you think! Thanks again for your comment!

[babalufinho]

@CrappyAssDrummer Man, to be honest, it was an OK concert, but that's all. I guess Ian wasn't at his best, sometimes he seemed to have lost himself in the lyrics. If you search for "she sells sanctuary sao paulo", the one I've been to should be the 2nd hit (even though the 1st one has a much better quality). I watched your other video, it was awesome! Well done, really. By the way, I noticed you also like Scorpions and AC/DC, and their drummers don't always stick to the "original" live either.

[CrappyAssDrummer]

@babalufinho Thanks for the link to the Cult video. I see your point. The guitar is significantly different too, eh? I guess they are allowed since they wrote it! :-) No reason to stick to the original I guess. for me, I want to as a way to study new things, so sometimes I try to copy exactly. Glad you liked the other video, and thanks again for the comments! And yes, I love those bands too. I am totally stuck in the 80s!

[babalufinho]

@CrappyAssDrummer My pleasure! I think you're right. If they played the songs exactly as the album recordings everytime, why bother going to a concert, right?? But I agree, sticking to the original is the best way to learn a song (otherwise you'd go nuts hahaha). I don't play drums, but if you let me give a suggestion, listen to The Cult's songs Nirvana, Moya and especially Horse Nation. I bet they're great to play!! I'm stuck to the 80s too, even though I was born in 1989 :) Have a nice day!

[CrappyAssDrummer]

@babalufinho Just gave them a listen. Cool songs! So many things I want to play, but work keeps getting in the way.....I was thinking of trying to cover Rain one of these days, but we'll see when I have time! Glad to hear that there is a "new" recruit to the 80s generation, even if 20 years younger than me! (Lucky!!!)

Nice job, i played this for my first time (not even knowing the song really, sorry) :S lol with my dad and uncles outside thru seriously loud amps, and basically improved most of it (only been playing a year) and sounds like i actually improved pretty close to the real thing haha, good stuff man!

[beeforsam]

this is brilliant keep going its not crap at all

[bilcksneatff]

Wow, you're playing very well for only two months! Keep it up. :)

[TheDobsterNation]

Keep up the drumming, Nice cover for this song but i know you can do better if you tried a more difficult song? ;D good luck, and good drumming.

[janvier25]

just clicked on "Like" as I know how it feels to play crappy-ass-drumming myself... good on you for putting yourself out there - best of luck and happy drumming!

[BENTLEYtheSKATEMAN]

good cover

[rickinuk35]

hey dude, great job, enjoyed watching,

[CrappyAssDrummer]

@rickinuk35 Thanks very much!

[ShabadooWilkins]

Timing is just fine. Play this song 100 times and then move on to something more challenging. Still, you're on target. Looks like fun. Next time include a half naked Malay broad dancing in front of your bass to the song.

[CrappyAssDrummer]

@ShabadooWilkins Hehehe. Thanks sensei! I'll see what I can do about the "broad" without violating Youtube terms of use. Pasties? ;-)

[Triplexke]

Nailed it!

[CrappyAssDrummer]

@Triplexke Thanks! :-)
