  • Great playing Brandon! Super stoked for you brother, on your way. Hope you love the holy china and the Portnoy mini china stacker deal. Great Evolution crash by the way. Thanks for posting this.

  • dude, disregard all of the dislikes, they're just people who are pissed that you could do it and they couldnt. honestly, you did fucking sick man, congrats

  • Hey dude great job, I like all the negative comments on here because those are obviously people that just hate you because your better than them but you seem like a pretty modest guy but hey great job hit me up lets tour or some shit together

  • Dude, this is awesomely done!

  • very very very good

  • you fucking killed it bro, sounds insane.

  • i dont see how people can dislike this shit man! awesome!!!

  • What's with all the hate and douche bag comments? His cover is flawless.

  • is that the 20" deep Bass Drum?

  • Fuck, man. It's performances like this that remind me why I'm focusing on composing more than performing... The competition for good performers is ridiculous because of people like you! Keep up the good work, I bet you'll go a long way at the Musician's Institute.

  • hey man, are you using seinheisser e604's for your tom's? they sound really good, they have a nice punch and still have a lot of tone

  • @HortonHearsAWho92 Yes, we used e604's on the toms and snare.

  • yeah...youre a douche bag kid. go back to skating by the public library

  • @sabiankid11 Why don't you get off the fucking computer and do something with your life? BITCH.

  • solid cover, the only i can say is work those feet, but once again solid cover.

  • fav part 10:00-10:15 the way you hit that china makes me wanna punch myself in the face !

  • this one is most definitely not recorded properly tho.

  • I liked it. Better than what I could've done. Good Job.

  • You need to practice your blast beats!D:

  • Great playing man! You just need to practise the blastbeats more!

  • @CalculatingInfinity6 yeah, they think they have the entitlement of being a YouTube drummer critic, in reality, they are just like this guy, just playing drums or probably doing fuck all.

  • fuck all these wanna be's. Say what ever you want. I don't know why they are calling you a douche, but this is your video, yeah sure people can say a few pointers, doesn't mean you have to bow to them and give them the ego boost. Fuck it! Do what you gotta do, keep playing this cover rocked ass!

  • Well, not sure why people think you're a douche, but either way, great cover, that kit looks like a ton of fun to play.

  • Everybody with anything negative to say about his playing is retarded...

  • 3:49 my face melted

  • To bad you're a stupid douchebag

  • i guess these people have never heard of something called interpretation...i think you are a great drummer, props from a guitar player!

  • Good cover. But dude in order to progress with your instrument its important to accept and apply constructive criticism. (besides obviously rude comments) Keep it up!

  • you are great, but you are not a drummer

  • Comment removed

  • i always lol so much when i see kids who dont know how to handle a 3 piece and they always own a big 7 piece kit haha

  • nice muscles

  • @BrandonScottDrums What a hilariously immature way to take criticism. Stick to Simple Plan.

  • Dude fuck the haters, that was a great cover. I'm not in love with your snare sound but what do i know haha, I'm a guitarist.

  • you need to learn how to accept constructive criticism... he wasn't trying to insult just to piss you off, he was giving an honest critique.

  • fuck everyone that was amazing

  • @NiKKiBangBang then post a vid showing us how its really done.

  • Swim to the moon.. anyone?

  • @ayamtido hmm yes i'd say so sir

  • Wuts with the hatin? This cover is 99.9% correct and is very difficult to play.Props man, great cover.!

  • All I have to say is: Great Job!!! I can't believe the audacity of some people. They start picking on you and come to crazy conclusions about you when all they've seen is a freakin' youtube video. You people assume too much about someone you haven't met. Like I said, Great Job!

  • That wasn't hard to fap to.

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • Job well done, man. Job well done.

  • Sounds good man

  • guys, we all know his fills arent exactly the same as blake richardson did them, BUT WHO CARES? when playing drums, you are supposed to have your own interpretation and style of how a song is played. for example, cobus, the famous youtube drummer, plays songs to his style and interpretation... thanks man for the upload and the courage despite of all the haters who critique for style and interpretation. amen.

  • Being able to handle every fill right isn't what matters. What matters is that you covered one of BTBAM's most epic songs. KUDOS.

  • excellent job man. you've got a great sense of time and this was a hard-ass song to cover. if i can offer one piece of advice, it would be to flip out your left a hand a little bit (away from your body). you're using a lot of forearm and while that's good for volume, that can hold you back a lot on speed. speeds like this almost demand more wrist and finger usage. you've got talent and i have no doubt you're gonna go places. i'm looking forward to more vids. keep it up, man.

  • Sick job broski

  • ...lol. I don't know where everyone is getting at this kid for being sloppy. This was greatly executed. Good job man.

  • @NiKKiBangBang if you can play this song as well post a video. with your "no error" or just go troll somewhere else.

  • @stylerprofyler @NiKKiBangBang ok let's think B.Rich has been playing since he was like 11 right? What is now in his later 20's? This kid looks like he is just out of high school ; you have to guess when B.Rich played in his metalcore band @ age 17 he must have been the same way. Give him some props; he's pretty damn good for his age. Hell to be even playing BTBAM is an accomplishment in itself.

  • @Cixelated Thanks for your support of Brandon. Actually, when this video was shot, he was just 16 and a Junior in high school. He's just turned 17 and is a Senior now. He'll be attending the Musician's Institute in Hollywood next year.

  • @LorenScott69 And see he one upp'd me too....

  • fuck everyone whos hating on this, being able to play anything by between the buried and me is highly impressive. props

  • the blast beats are ugly (especially the snare hand). other than that some sloppiness here and there. but hey! good job!

  • dude, very nice cover!! don't mind the trolls, they're everywhere haha you did great on this one... just that last blast beat wasn't really that good, but the rest of the song was awesome! :D

  • it sounded awesome to me, 100% accurate or not doesn't matter

  • You look like Marc Okubo

  • @NiKKiBangBang blake doesnt play it the same live

  • @LorenScott69 From one drummer to another, this song is very hard. If my advice came off that way I apologize, but my intentions are good. I just wanted to let him know that if he worked on it a while longer and got it down, packed tightly, it would get a lot more recognition. So all I'm saying is that it's good, but it just has a lot of easy mistakes that can be fixed by looking at the colors live dvd and watching certain parts.

  • @NiKKiBangBang Brandon knows that it's not 100% perfect. He is only 16, and he is not Blake Richardson. Blake himself has watched this video (and others from Brandon) and given him very motivational feedback (on Blake's FB page). There are 1000's of musical kids out there that are trying to get better, and the quickest way to make them lose interest is to say something like, "Even though you practice your ass off, you still suck. Try harder!" How about, "Pretty good. Keep it up!" Huh?

  • @LorenScott69 i never said he sucked though man. The kid has balls to do this song, and its an amazing attempt. I give him a lot of credit, and I'm turning 17 in September so I know how he feels. It's hard for young musicians to get recognition these days. When I entered the drum off that's how I started getting promoted as a drummer, but still there's always one thing that every drummer should know though. If you play a song and you think its perfect, play it again and it'll be 10x better.

  • @LorenScott69 overall, he did a good job. keep up the good work.

  • Are you son of Blake Richardson? =D

  • @haloinahaystack Touché. :) 

  • @haloinahaystack I think it sounds perfect. But, everyone has different tastes. For example, although I like Metallica's music, I have always thought that Lars' kick drums sounded awful -- too much pop and not enough boom. I thought about writing them to tell them that it sounded horrible and that I couldn't stand it, because it just sounds so damn sloppy. But, I didn't because I didn't want to sound like a total dick.

  • @haloinahaystack Nope. Just two well EQ'd AKG D 112 mics. You can hear the drums themselves without any other music by searching for "Brandon Scott Drums Sound Check"  (take 1 or 2).

  • @haloinahaystack What triggers? Brandon's drums are 100% acoustic and miked.

  • this kicks ass dude! are those pro mark mike portnoy signature sticks you're using? cause i play with those too! this is not easy shit, i've tried to learn it and it's difficult. so i give you a big round of applause for completing this. keep on rocking!

  • People have a point - there were a few tiny things off, I noticed specifically the bass drums in the "white walls" part (when you do a triplet on the 3rd and 4th time through), and the hilariously random sounding section around 9 minutes. That being said, you had easily 99% of it very, very good, and some of the places that sounded slightly off time could very well be a sync issue. I'm incredibly impressed, BTBAM is far from easy on any instrument.

  • not to mention none of these twats have anything to show for their "superior" playing skills. no one should expect perfection from a cover anyway.

  • I think these "errors" people so happily point out is just the timing of the music and your drums. not really a timing problem, but a syncing problem. just need the overlapping music turned down alittle so both drum audio don't conflict and it'd sound better, i think. anyway, i approve, better than i could do

  • Very nice, man

  • this is just an okay cover :\

  • Your blast beat slows...but the rest is good.

  • fucking sweet dude, whats that little china thing next to your splash and crash idk what it is

  • Did you still use the same camera that you did the first one i watched you used a canon Eo5 5D Mark II camera, this pic looks much more clearer than the first camera is it still the same one or did you use a different one.

  • @doladar Yes, I used my Canon 5D MArk II to record this one too. I just got a bit better at lighting the room on this one than in the previous ones. On this one I used the same setup as for the Sound Check 1 and Sound Check 2 videos as well.

  • TOM #3 is loud

  • BRANDON!! Right on, brother!! You are going to have an awesome future ahead of you if you don't fall into the traps that kill so many promicing musician's dreams! DRUGS, ALCOHOL, BAR-FLY SLUTS and NO FOCUS are dream killers!! Get QUALITY REPRESENTATION! Can not STRESS THAT ENOUGH... Someone to pound the RIGHT PAVEMENT for you with a good client list and ALWAYS have an experienced MUSIC ATTORNEY review any major documents you consider signing! You will be your own worst enemy - TRUST ME I KNOW!!

  • Hella recorded on my birthday!! and this is a fucking EPIC song by an amazing band. Good cover too! keep playin!

  • this was fucking awesome dude !!

  • WoW~~! i dont know much about drums but, i can imagine your near future! see you at the stage! With your father! and hopefully the stage coult be Yim Jae Bum's!

  • fuckin sick dude! only thing tho, in the start, blake plays left foot lead, switching between the foot pedal and hi hat pedal. sick cover! :D

  • Dirty. Straight up dirty. good work

  • You make it look so easy =( that's a good thing btw =p

  • Subbed, best drummer on youtube right here.. thanks for the great video =)

  • flawless victory

  • im thoroughly impressed with your control dude.... you should try a within the ruins song :P

  • Fucking epic man. If anybody that watches this video has connections with the band, hook this guy up with some backstage passes to their next concert or something. He deserves it.

  • Wow great job man, rarely do I find good drum covers on youtube, and you can definitely pull this off. What kind of kit do you have?

  • what kind of china is that man????

  • the ONLY gripe i have, and a small one at that, is your blasts. just slightly off on the snare. but holy shit dude i just watched your neil peart/mike portnoy medley video... it was good so i searched your account, and then i see BTBAM videos :D :D :D SO AWESOME

  • @Neptune0100 haha thanks man, and i know that about my blast beats haha i just started doing them about 6 months ago or right around the time i learned Prequel to the Sequel so i'm still trying to get them tighter.

  • you deserve way more recognition for these BTBAM videos

  • @kingvincedrums haha Thanks :) i wanna try and get out there and post videos constantly for my subscribers and stuff but a lot of songs i learn take months to learn haha

  • Absolutly brilliant! well done man... 

  • really good cover. though you do need to work on your left hand as well as that single storke technique.

  • Dude you are just amazing, could you please do a cover for Selkies? It would be great. Big respect man!!

  • @Andro438 Haha i started learning selkies, i'm about Halfway through? it's just there's a middle section where i have no idea what the hell Blake is doing haha

  • @BrandonScottDrums Just one middle section? i don't know what Blake is doing 90% of the time hahaha

  • you are fucking awesome. would you be down to do Swim to the Moon? that would be tits. or even Disease Injury Madness

  • @alittlemikeful Haha i've actually learned the beginning of swim to the moon but never thought about going 17 minutes haha but then again i never thought about going 14 minutes.. we'll see haha

  • @BrandonScottDrums

    i'd appreciate that too!!! he is right, you are awesome.. looking forward to swim to the moon

  • best cover i have seen of White Walls by a long shot.

    Amazing work dude.

  • ho man where do i start... flawless to say the least. your playing is so fluent, definantly one of the best covers of any song on youtube and best drum cover of whitewalls handsdown. What kind of kit is that, it's sexy [=

    One thing, i think the volume on the low toms was a bit low compared to the high ones and everything else. minor thing. Keep it up holy shit =)

  • big fan been watching since middle school! keep it up BRANDON SCOTT FTW

  • Brandon's dad here. I just realized that I must have had my headphones flipped around the wrong way when I recorded the audio for this. So,,, to actually hear it correctly (ride cymbal and low toms on the left and hi-hat and high toms to the right), just flip your headphones (or speakers) around (left on the right and vice-versa). Sorry about that. ;)

  • unbelievable.

  • Very very well done. Blake would be proud. Did you by any chance enter the Vic Firth contest to send in a video of "Foam Born: Decade of Statues"? If not, you should have.

  • i like how you are able to play to hit hard but still maintain speed, not many drummers can do both, especially for metal

  • Mike Portnoy,quit.

  • @AliothSenator

    Lol what does MP have to do with this?

  • Daddy's proud! You never cease to amaze me. :)

  • Once again, Beautifully done....

  • if my mind were a dick you would be a prostitute

  • AT 7 MINUTES YOU DIDNT HIT THOSE SNARE NOTES GOD YOU FUCKING SUCK. i love you brandon :)

    -jonny

  • holy shit !

  • Pretty damn good job! Keep up the good work! =)

  • Amazing!!
