Red Hot Chili Peppers - Californication (drum cover)

[ryan7chi]

helped me get a start on playing drums THANKS!!!!!

[xXaggiesXx23]

I've seen worse. Just work on timing and don't get carried away that's all

[joepie998]

you arent bad everyone who thinks youre bad is a jerk

[rottte]

You must first see the partition because it's not the right beat of the music

[justanotheraccount]

If I have any advice, some of the fills seem a bit busy for the song, and the beats don't sound very clean or in time (although that could be down to the microphone quality on your camera). However, would suggest commenter's to see that this drummer played this over 2 years ago.

[Feliiyy]

the first ghost note comes on ta.

and a roll stroke at first.

[pootershnitzel]

two floor tom!!!!

[Zindydeoz]

SUCKS!

[lilfucker213]

GAGO ka POPOY! ako lang nagturo sayo!

[hurr1can3]

lol thats so garbage

[lluuccaass22]

Coool!

I'll start my drums classes tomorrow, but...

i'm lefty! Is there any problem????

thanks!

p.s.: great cover!

[hihihibadbad]

i think lefty just need to switch their hand for playing snare etc, it shouldnt be a problem

[naturada137]

Nah, there is no problem with being left. Just make sure you are learning left handed and that they arrange the set accordingly.

I advise against lessons unless you practice a lot outside of the lessons. Experiment, and don't just do what the instructor tells you. It is alright to learn the basics, just practice after as well.

[wantedvirus]

SUKKKKKKKKKKKSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[jonasfanandreanicole]

one advice u have to hold the drumstick harder!at 1:08 seems that its soft holding but anyways u rock!

[jonasfanandreanicole]

good cover,....its the first track i learned too! well done!!

[Omshadar]

not bad for ur first time, but u hit the crash way 2 softly since after all the main fun of drumming is making a shit load of noise

[Neonz508]

try to get those ghost notes right

[Yendor95]

make your own filss. Cool drumkit by the way and nice cover.

[markiemc14]

great vid how do u record ur covers ??

[MeertMcSkeet]

niiice im learning this song also so this is verry much help. Thank you.

[GuitarHeroWT]

your like 3 secs off beats but nice try

[edrcozonoking]

Hater

[checkthatman]

That actually ain't bad ;) especially considering that this was/is your first song.

Perhaps you could do a remake to show how you improved with that ghost note stuff and so on.

Good luck with your drumming ;)

[DjGloomMusic]

Is not BAAAD but, you have added some crashes else.. also, ghost notes are not defined by you :S

[SonnSikk]

Good! I'm learning this song now.

[xtoxax]

tas cagado...sta mal..eso...lno es el estilo simple es mas complejo..sino no suena bien..

[vaaje14]

you're very bad, youu're play for fast. herar better to music next

[edrcozonoking]

you write worse than he plays you ignorant fool. Stop hating.

[ClaymationGuy1]

nice try, but tune everything and have contrast in your playing, and while ur at it learn the complicated version.

[screamosucs8340]

not bad but not sure if this is your style.

[BeginningDrummer]

bass drum is out of rythm

[Tropium245]

this is one of my faves to play, just relax a bit more mate..

[blasass1]

not bad but tune the snare.

[2double08]

although this may seems easy wen you listen to it wen you start addin ghost notes and stuff it is hard.

try easier song

[chinof1]

deberias afinar la bateria, cambiar los parches o algo, suena pésimo

[longapoia93]

you rock!!!!!!!!!

[alwera12]

You people are funny, I mean you fight for no reason ¬_¬

[RedHotRocks]

ghost notes can be better, you can drum well. but you really should check on your technique.. especially your roll

[lukarocknrollx]

What's the point?

[lukarocknrollx]

I can't listen this!

You are playing faster than the music.

Go practice a litle bit more...

[rhysgeard]

hmmmm take a note.

practice a bit more then put a better 1 on dw ill be watching for it (;

[linkinparkholy]

that was a great first try and you rock

[genskie24]

hold stick at fulcrum. and all the other things the other guys said as well. good though for a first timer.

[Anuz92]

By the way, you're going to destroy your wrists AND your cymbals with that technique, trust me.

[tommienufc]

What technique should I be using?

I've been told mine isn't perfect, but won't do me any harm...

Any help is appreciated :p

[Anuz92]

I'm thinking mostly about the right arm. Your upper flat of your hand should be pointing more upwards, instead of holding your hand 'sideways'. And try to use your fingers to bounce the stick. :) You'll figure it out some time. ;) (Oh, and when you hit a cymbal to make it crash, hit the edge of the cymbal, and not the top, with the side of the stick.) Unless you're raiding of course, but that's another thing. Good luck with the practice. :)

[wizll27]

ya you are using to much arm.... try and keep it in your wrist it will help and keep your pointer finger from curling around the stick keep your fulcrum!!! but other wise exelent

[Anuz92]

You skip the double-stroke, you play about every fill wrong, and it doesn't seem like you've even heard the song before. :S

-2 stars.

[sketchingpencils]

You sound like a car trying to start. No offence plus your speed varies.

[musicfanatic65]

what hell is that kid talking about hes great

[pantera880]

pretty good i like your kit keep it up

[kordylas]

man you are so bad but you must practice

[peckp]

good attempt but tighten up your snarewire a bit and probably also both sides of your snare.

[helloboyririr]

all you cover people are ruining what rhcp stand for... cover fucken shannon noll, not a band who could buy and sell you, and your shitty drumkit 50000000 times.

[tommienufc]

But maybe the idea of music is to get people together enjoying what they do?

So if someone plays a chili peppers song sh*te, but is bhaving fun... then who are you to say thats wrong?!

[yuckyteeth]

i really doubt this video was to make people realize that you enjoy what you do.

anyways, he didnt have the right to say you suck

you did pretty good, just practice ghost notes

[hazzasandosk8]

@helloboyririr tbh its abit of fun and if u dont like it dont click the link u twat if u do this 4 fun (puttin ppl dwn) thats the explination of y u av no friends.

[astat06]

nice work man sounds good to me

[fenixeloi]

NIce cover

And nice break at 1:00

[tommienufc]

Hi-hat... standard, 14" Not bad hi-hats, Mienl MCS... sound good I think!

[YonkersDrummer]

This doesn't seem right. It's only one hit on the snare the whole song.

[tommienufc]

There are ghost notes through out the song, but as my snare is crap, n I couldn't record it very well.... ghost notes didn't sound to good.... but the basic beat is how chad plays it

[An0nImA]

Goodddd

Love this song

[jordanmencel]

TUNE UR SNARE!!!!

[icotope]

hey iitz me, great drum cover once again

[bonzo3231]

pretty good job but i think you should tune your snare and the reason the ghost notes aren't working are because your just dropping your stick on a low fulcrum point, it needs to be up a little more and more of a controlled bounce. keep the videos coming check out mine

[Greendayfanut]

what kind of kit do u have? btw cool cover

[tommienufc]

It's a leedy rock kit... Just something I picked up to get me started... its nice enough though!

[Greendayfanut]

cool how long have u been playing?

[tommienufc]

Bout 11 months now.... dunno exactly, started near the end of last summer

[Greendayfanut]

is this song easy to learn?

[tommienufc]

It's the first one I learnt..... I did it after about 2 months of drumming... So it's not too hard... Just got some kinda ghost notes in that my snare isn't good enough to pick up!

[Greendayfanut]

cool, I just need to get a new kit and I could start learning some songs.
