DDB21 - Avenged Sevenfold - Save Me

[dkhowler]

they probably didnt take you because you're not tatted up haha

[TheRenamonLove]

@CAGURICAN77 Learn your paradidles and rudiments and get faster that them. (What Im doing.) And keep listening to that part and attempt. Trial and error bro. ;D

[ImJuStoOGoOd]

Can i play the drums if i dont have hand-leg coordination?

[xTiediguy]

@ImJuStoOGoOd no

[CAGURICAN77]

you're really good how'd you figure out that part at 7:27? I've been really wanting to learn that on the drums

[SantoSK92]

Mantab Jaya

[JTV0504]

Fuck the haters. I am impressed.

[latrobe16]

@leadtrumpet2010 why would death bat news lie?

[latrobe16]

@fuzzz182 maybe because it was on deathbat news? So Id rather trust them the someone on youtube

[LeadTrumpet2010]

@latrobe16 Oh shit you're right...NEWS NEVER LIES TO ANYONE RIGHT??...oh...wait...damn

Keep playin' man. You're a beast over many others and anyone in your way will be crushed. BTW ...sickest basketball band chops ever

[futureboeingcpt]

Fuck son, you're a machine. From this, you FAR outperform many, many "better" drummers.. Your technique and rhythm is fucking epic too. Love your work

[moosedrummer1]

You are a fucking beast!

[latrobe16]

@tacticalmafia I know!!! It pisses me off

[latrobe16]

But damn dude your good

[latrobe16]

They didn't have auditions? The revs old drum tech ask a guy (Arin) who has the same drum style as the rev to play in the band. I saw in an interview with the band

[TacticalMafia]

@latrobe16 I was just saying that to myself lol i hate when people said they had auditions they dont do auditions they are all friends

[fuzzz182]

@latrobe16 what reason would he have to lie dude? i don't understand why you'd take what you read in interviews as truth over what you're told here

[97ameerul]

Nice work, dude! Love it!

[moosedrummer1]

Son of a bitch! You are fucking awesome!

[ctbigapple]

i am very much in awe of your skill...

[drummerboySTL]

No problem man

[squishiekiller]

Marry me?

[Baldwithballs]

You are a very talented young man.

[xResignHD]

Your skills with the cymbals make the souls of poor Ethiopian kids warm.

[xMTJGxTeaM]

Amazing cover I was wondering I got my drums today and my bass drum makes like an echo and I don't like the echo cus it sounds bad yours dosnt do it and obv it dosnt in the official a7x songs how do I make it sound better lol sorry If I sound stupid I'm new :/

[drummerboySTL]

@xMTJGxTeaM Try putting a towel or a pillow in it. But you might have to adjust it a couple times to find the right spot so its not too damp or doesn't still echo. Hope this helps.

[xMTJGxTeaM]

@drummerboySTL thanks man some other people have said this so tomorrow i will do this thanks for the reply

[SmokyCable]

You`re good!!

[sullensk8r]

how the fuck do you get to audition for a7x? how far away do u live? i would walk from new york to play with those guys!

[GregComesInPeace]

Omfg

[mcrfreako1011]

i just cried because your toms sound so beautiful.

[awndriuh]

You are AWESOME!!!!!! Keep it up dude!! I wish you were my friend! How awesome are you?!?!

[fernando2ga]

exelente . una gran cancion .

[thebingandbongshow1]

That may have been the most exact drum cover I have ever seen, great job.

[fire57896]

SHIT , nice drum set , nice mics , nice skills .

[brianfer123]

you rock man =D

[KrSe94]

..... ok tht was..... FUCKING AWESOME!!!! holy shit i am now away changing my trousers after tht keep it up man

[theitandthem]

ur amazing



[Cacheton]

That's fucking amazing!

[xMTJGxTeaM]

nice drumkit must have cost you a couple thousand $ i saw one just like it about £3000 about $5000

[cerz143]

LOL 1:57 right corner theres someone sweeping xD

[destructiz]

@cerz143 He comes back at 2:21. lol

[BobbyLovesMekici]

Flawless victory!!! Dude, your cover is awesome, great job, keep it up :)

[EvenAngelsFall]

DUDE you are toooo fucking perfect my god you didnt miss a single hit

[destructiz]

@EvenAngelsFall Yeah he did. He missed a few of the bass earlier in the song. But by far the best drummer that's not in a major band that I've ever seen. And better than most of them.

[WednesdayBitch16]

That is one sick drumset!

[carloschilorio]

algunos tienen una bateria ufff hermosa, pero tocan como idiotas, yo que toco como grande no tengo la mia. que más daria por tener una asi!

[TheNithalien]

Well done mate!

[Mrskulls03]

Fuckin sick dude!!!

[AlexZwier7]

sooooooooooo fuckin sick!!!!!!

[PsychedelicElectric]

Digging the MOPPING up in the background!

[ytubegmailusername]

Only The Rev could have thought of these Beast Drumming beats.

[GoneGuitaring]

nice kit! And awesome job, I love the double kick in this song.

P.S.

To the people saying the Rev didn't write this, he wrote all of the drum tracks (except so far away) on the album but they were recorded on a junkie electric set and the band said it didn't do him justice so Portnoy re-recorded all the tracks.

[ActiveWorldsLunitic]

Damn dude, great job! I've always wanted to see how the hell they managed to make their drums sound like machine guns.

[magic556]

Dude, ARE YOU FUCKING RICH??!!! Your kit is amazingly ridiculous dude!

Amazing cover btw

[rMNyzzAdTiTuDe]

Damn this nigga odeeing it

[1joseph2013]

Does anyone know where to get these tabs?

[ThatTallKid145]

This song isn't really that hard. The only part I have some trouble with is 1:32, i have to do the ride at half speed or else I get off beat

[Gilksenator]

@ThatTallKid145 aye, I do the same :p

[NCHSDrumKid1020]

Who makes your Roto Toms and what heads do they have?

[NBAmedo]

Does anybody notice the grooming in the corner towards the beginning of the song?

[Brianx6661]

how many years u been playing?

[Brianx6661]

Fucking REDICULOUS drum cover dude! Sorry you didnt make it an A7X, deep down thats every drummers dream XD. Start a band you'll be redic!

[jacaria21]

When I saw your "The Wicked End" drum cover a little while ago, I had a very strong suspicion that you were the youtube guy who Shadows mentioned when he was talking about the 3 guys who auditioned to be their new drummer. Glad to know I was right! You're a great drummer dude!

[4383arellano]

Damn and I thought I was good haha. Great job yo!

[13kidluckXIII]

Oh and amazing job on the cover. Spot on! And you added some of your own stuff to make it somewhat original. Just truely amazing!

[13kidluckXIII]

Jimmy helped write all songs except so far away.

[1991ant1991]

@13kidluckXIII Just lyrically. Syn said that song was originally wrote for his Grandad then obviously that changed. Look for an interview where he's in the UK, if they played at Download then it's one of those.

[s1ckDruMm3r97]

i am truly amazed on how good that person is at sweeping. outstanding job!! XD

[SeizeTheDay667]

best drummer on youtube...you and Tim D'onofrio are the best...Cobus sucks honestly

[jampk24]

This is awesome. I especially like 7:20 - 8:20, really good.

[RevJunior28]

I dont like cobus....at all

[RevJunior28]

And by the waay fuckin sick job, your just as good as arin maybe better

[RevJunior28]

So how was recording? did you get to meet them or what?

[mcrfreako1011]

Are you there god its me.... Wait... Why are you playing drums??

[Yoedha666]

nice ...

[jonesyboy1919]

those... are the coolest pants EVAR

[iPWNx729]

Can I know what hardware you're using??

[nube2]

This drum cover is by far my favorite simply because of the drum part that starts at 7:09 and its needless to say this kid nailed it. Every drummer knows that this was the Revs greatest work. By the way going to point out that this kid plays it better than Arin does live >.>

[sandymitchellhadley]

@nube2 The Rev didnt write this.

[DouwevdWorm]

@sandymitchellhadley oh yes he did

they recorded al the songs as a demo (accept for so far away ofcourse)

[sandymitchellhadley]

@DouwevdWorm He wrote the demo, Mike Portnoy played over it, Adding and taking some stuff. Like he did in Nightmare.

[LastWish90]

I find you made stil the best drum cover of this song, because the other cant't do the doubble kick as good as you or have bad sound quality

and although your sound quality could be better i find it's the best.

[Orange9956]

Tooooo fuckin sickkk bro!!!! Much props.

[cpacco]

I wouldn't listen to anyone who says you can't play. This is amazing and my favorite song off the Album :)

[Pickguard1]

Not that this is criticism cuz you're the sh*t! But i wish you had the kicks a bit louder. Effing amaizing dude. Mad props!

[FenderDrummer17]

who thought that there volume was low at the first seconds of the song

[xMTJGxTeaM]

@FenderDrummer17 mine actually was but i know that its muted cus ive seen it like 8 times now i like watching this cover in particular

[Swaggerman1111]

dude your truly amazing

[alwayshatechavs]

Awesome Drumming, Awesome Drum Kit, Just Over All Awesomeness!

[JoDrumZ]

this cover is so dirty (in a good way) the filth had to be sweeped away

[daccount10]

@JoDrumZ Did you not see the cleaning person in the back ground???

[mcrfreako1011]

......i love you

[mostunforgiven]

dude fucking SICK!!! nice cover

[ongxizhe]

This guy's videos definitely deserve more views than Cobus's.

[CoheedMars90]

@ongxizhe That's just false. This guy is incredibly skilled, but he's less creative with his licks, his groove isn't as good, and he's nowhere near as entertaining to watch.

[whatup917]

I love the Pop in the snare.

[domthebomb1]

fucking awesome!

[RimJobRobb]

man ive actually been watching your videos and copying you for about 4 years now. Cant believe you auditioned and they didnt pick you. years ago i used to watch your vids and think if the rev ever quit this guy would replace him easy.

kinda lost touch with my drums lately so lookin to pick them back up - will watch more vids for inspiration

cheers

[MrSynysterJ]

sick nasty brocheecho

[Supaboy000]

11:16 damn! Great job!

[synysterfckingates]

may too nice my dude

[HamboneGoobersnatch]

I want to be that good on day♥ he's really good. Not as good as Jimmy boviously, but you're badass, bro. Keep doin what you do!

[avengedkid101]

damn dude, your badass

[iwearsocksonmyhands]

*walks into store* Hey do you have any cymbals?

No, some guy just walked in and bought them all sorry.

[drumafreak19]

best double bass ur really good

[danev2001]

Amazing

[Shootark]

You should try some stuff off of StST or Waking the Fallen I'd love to see it! Maybe even try some Pinkly Smooth if you can decipher it! Subbed

[guitarvirtuoduder]

the BEST consistent double bass ive heard on youtube ever! awesome cover brother!! also best cover of this song ive ever seen as well.

[larzakajugganot]

@guitarvirtuoduder

joeyjr.?

[guitarvirtuoduder]

the BEST consistent double bass ive heard on youtube ever! awesome cover brother!!

[DurzoBlint21]

@guitarvirtuoduder this dude is pretty good but id have to say that Sonny the drummer is better. check out Sonny's Nightmare cover and Natural born killer cover

[cougarfingers7]

One of the best covers out there by far

[metallicaholic029]

OMG nails the fill at 02:44

[janiliimatainenftw]

7:15 - 8:14 what the fuck?!

[crissglitch666]

What double pedal do you use?? DW something...

[StraightToMusic]

@crissglitch666 DW 9000's

[mrbrunoboff]

Oh God !!! This was fuckin amazing man !!! Most incredible cover ever !!!

Keep it up man !

[88fanforlife]

man that suck that a7x passed you up your amazing

[thefadingmemory6661]

Beautiful, dude <3 x

[thenextjoeyjordison1]

freakin awesome

the best cover i saw on youtube

[sprinkler5802]

Oh my fuckin god. that was incredible

[TheDug0]

the sound and tone of your kit is like orgasmic! keep it up dude! -foREVer-

[snoopy4life]

I've seen some good covers, and I've seen some bad covers. This is by far the most bad ass cover of ANYTHING I've ever heard. The people who clicked "dislike" either have the volume on their computers on mute, or they need to check their pulse.

[JordanDormer]

Grrr why can't I get my double bass that good :(

[arpeggioxmajor]

cool



[nightmare2570]

Man, you're fucking great ! Don't stop what you do

[ModulatedTesticle]

Definitly the best YouTube drum cover ever. You absolutly rocked the odd time which is what Portnoy specializes in... Keep it up bro.

[j1323d]

FUCKING AMAZING!!! Oh yeah, props for the person sweeping in the backround and putting up with your awesome drumming!

[snake006006]

duuuude how can you play that fast ?? XD

fuck the pedal settings, that's not how you can play that fast XD

how do you do that?!

[CSLohio]

Nice job bro. This is a amazing cover of an amazing song. This dude here has some serious talent.

[GuffPapiFresco]

So the whole thing is amazing, but at about 7:25 I had to clean jizz off of my keyboard...

[sequeirax]

All of your covers are amazing, but your avenged ones are the best.

The rev is extremely hard to cover, but you do it exceedingly well.

nice! :D

[SillyPython]

@sequeirax The rev didnt do this song

Fail

[sequeirax]

@SillyPython

don't be a troll.

i know that portnoy recorded the song, but the rev wrote the parts for it. sure, portnoy changed it around a bit, but it's still the rev's ideas.

and not to mention he has plenty of other covers by avenged that have the rev's drumming in them.

[Duffman1096]

@SillyPython Shadow's said the Rev considered "Save me" his masterpiece. Although I think it's obvious MP put his own spin on the drumming, to a degree.

[kssael]

At least you didn't fuck up in 9:05 because I couldn't figure that out myself!

[littlerocker03]

Dude you are class.

Can't believe you got to audition?! Madness. Unlucky.

What did they ask you to do and what did you play for them?

[straps6661]

LAWL @ADCtotheX 's comment cause the 1st 46 sec actually ARE without sound :P

A7X foREVer!!

[zombiepaki94]

Great cover, the only thing i dont like is the sound of the ride.

[JordanmzDrums]

Awesomeeeeeeeee :D



[outlaw6066]

Bravo man! You pretty much nailed it! :D

[trap823]

man, amazing :D very very very bravo!

[DontLikeBandsIHate]

damn mike portnoy is gifted.

[au7gxo]

Best cover of Save Me out there, congrats man, you rock.

[thatjusthappened509]

His legacy will not last as long a the one Seven Ways Gone is about to leave!!! rock on, if yall ever dont play at a bar i will drive no matter how far to see yall, i wished yall would of got that gig with avenged sevenfold, that would of been perfect, well lookin forward to an album on itunes, got all the 4 songs though

[THYICO]

Muito bom!!! Excelente!!!

[stinkdog2006]

I fucking jizzed my pants at 11:15-11:21

[au7gxo]

@stinkdog2006 Well yeah that part was great... but, in terms of difficulty other parts are amazing.

[SuperVilliany101]

nailed that Portnoy signature splash / hi hat groove part.

[THEBOSSOFROCK]

I honestly hate the sound of the kit, yes It's a sexy kit but at the same time it sounds like a set for like a 5 year old from SEARS.

[passenggers27]

Holy shit man. It's amazing. I'm looking for a drumer, but i'm from argentina,Would you like to come here? jajaj.

Your footwork it's great. Good luck !

[meanduif]

Dude, this is amazing! Your footwork, your speed, your technique, it's all just wonderfull to watch!! Keep it up!

[koenig1010]

That is one of the sexiest kits i have ever seen.. other than Jimmy's.

[richmondyayarea]

Oh and what pedals do you use? BTW if you get tired at 24 mins I don't think you could tour with A7X

[destructiz]

@richmondyayarea Correction: He didn't say he was tired, only that he was sweating very badly. Any normal person would sweat badly after 24 minutes of playing that hard.

[richmondyayarea]

How long have you been playing? You're really good

[YupperDoodelz]

Too distracted by someone sweeping in the background. XD

[MrShcotty]

@YupperDoodelz the guy sweeping should have paid to do his job that night

[PlanetDrumLtd]

Are you sponsored by any companies?

[BaraCochinasProd]

you are a bad ass drummer! seriously!

[AlternateNik]

My friend... That was... Jesus fucking christ almighty on a bicycle... amazing. 'nuff said.

[tarantulaman1720]

i was expecting it to be, well not perfect, but that FUCKING AWESOME!!!!!!!!!

[chadelmo]

GOD

[ThePlasticFish1]

where the fuck is the sound??

[NeroTheRev1713]

@ThePlasticFish1 the sound whre he fucks up?

at 8 mins 36!

[samstar1995]

@ThePlasticFish1 well then you missing out

[ThePlasticFish1]

@samstar1995 yeah :D

[koenig1010]

@ThePlasticFish1 did you watch further than the first 30 seconds? lol

[scuderiguitar09]

dude...really bad ass cover. enjoyed every second of it

[HerptotheDerp]

I can't stop watching this!! :D

[iluvpigeons]

Im not too big of an A7x fan in general, but I love watching your covers man :) Really fucking good job! I got quite a few guitar videos up, check me out if u feel it :) Keep up the fkn good work!
