August Burns Red - Crusades (Drum Cover) - 7 camera angles!

[Huze17]

tune your toms... they have no musicality... they just sound low, BORING

[XdropBEATX]

you sir are fucking amazing at the drums we need somone like you in our band >:D

[anthonybachner]

1:12....double bass so fast, camera cant even keep up

[Charchingnong]

OmFuckingG thats some fast shit right there

[SpringSasha]

amazing!:D<3

[Pneumonox]

This guy simply does not give a f**k.

[thomdave24]

Once again, great song choice!!!! I love ABR and you pulled this one off too. Great job mate!

[jedi32421]

I can't stand that bass drum... it just sounds a poop hitting the floor.

[TheGrimdrumreaper]

your bass drum <3

[jygaro11]

I hate to say it, but really I could go for alittle more cowbell.

[gabfreak]

You did it perfectly! But you miss a little energy... especialy when you're supose to destroy those chinas in a breakdown xD

[WiredDrummer]

Awesome cover man! I love this song. Btw, are those gilbraltar 6611DB? If so, their the same as mine hehe

[noconflictbanana]

I thought Drummer4life657 had the most cameras... I was wrong!!

[halesma2]

0:26....Rewound and watched at least six times..

[sticksofury989]

Pretty good. Very consistent and technically precise. Although I'm not sure I'd care to watch you perform this song. You need more power, more energy, more visceral rage. I got bored watching you play but I was impressed by your skill.

[ThatJohnDude]

Dude; WHat shoes are those?

[kirstonwickson15]

sombody buy him new skins please

[ocfootballguy57]

ur covers never cease to amaze me

[melevon90]

00:26 - 00:29 wooooooooot

[MIGUELenjoySKATING]

It would've been cooler, if he went crazy, beating the shit out of his china at 1:00 :D

[SirPlzCalmDown]

@MIGUELenjoySKATING I would've fucking LOVED this video if he did that. Also headbanging is absolutely necessary

[samcp12]

do you know what tuning is lmao!

[snackpak888]

As a guitarist I kinda chucle at the Line 6 next to the Engl...the metal spectrum from cheap and meh to expensive and lovely

[Gavinfzdc]

What crash are you using? sounds cery sick

[littledrummerboy738]

sick cover! nice job! you just need to get some mics cause the quality is pretty poor but nice job!

[soulsinger90876]

i can play 210 bpm for almost 20 mins, but i cant do the part 1:03, i'm starting to pic it up but im learning it slow. I have trouble doing 150 to 170 but i can do 180+ supr smoothly. i guess it just takes practice huh?

[soulsinger90876]

hope to be as good as you one day

[75dimitris]

great cover dude! you're a REALLY skilled drummer! only thing i have to say is that if you would like to do better covers, you could buy some drum microphones and maybe change your china cymbal :) great job!

[SammGJr]

i love you

[bnewcombe619]

skills!!!!



[zamm67]

GIFT FROM GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!

[darkismypassion]

you use your feet so fucking AWESOME !

[steavey05]

Good shit.

[JAXETA]

HIT THAT CHINA

[WanaOwnz]

imagen at 0:28 when he throws the stick but this time missed the catch xD hahahahaha that would be helarious xD

[3jesus777freak3]

Fuck yeah!! it looks so cool at 0:28 wenn you throw the stick!!! awesome!!

[ScOpeZzxTeam]

How would you recommend on practicing for faster double bass like at :22. Thanks

[Taylor80806]

Shit the bed you amazing :]

[s3b1uk]

nice one, and i checked out your band and you guys are sick! keep it up man

[cthouseholder]

Awesome job on the cover, it sounds amazing!!

[jake5590]

Awesome!!! You are a great drummer!

[TheEmoti0ns]

Really nice job guy, you should play in a MetalCore band my friend \m/

[darkismypassion]

this song is a challeng.congrats.

[rryanrohrerr]

You should pick the camera angle with the best sound and use that through the whole song. Just a tip man. But great drumming.

[Joker00335]

I fucking hate you. I wish i could do that! Thats my dream song!

[mcdrummonkey]

really kickass stuff man! how do you practice to keep better time and stuff

[Cliiifffff]

what ride are you using? it sounds amazing. 

[ApostateDrummer]

@Cliiifffff it's Zildjian ZXT Rock Ride

[SuperGrizzly420]

@ApostateDrummer you have the ZXT set? I invested in a set of them and they are fantastic cymbals. Oh great cover by the way

[ApostateDrummer]

@SuperGrizzly420 i used only a ride cymbal by ZXT. I have the whole set from TRX cymbals now . Thanks!

[skizo96]

your pretty good but your bass drum sounds fucking terrible



[thebmeat]

@skizo96 you think so? for not being micd i think it sounds great

[godzach69]

@skizo96 his set isnt tuned the same way

[godzach69]

@skizo96

[MsCloaca]

wtf is wrong with ur bass? it sounds floppy lol

[lovingthemusic666]

@MsCloaca oyu have to watch in hd

[louisianachikk27]

My Dad uses the same symbols as you.. Your pretty good. You could get somewhere with that talent. Your awesomee. :P

[dannranau12]

Why are your toms sounds like that, it kinda.......

[ethanwoolbert]

I like your little spinning stick thing :p.

[downfall4you]

I love how the first like 2 and a half minutes you have no facial expression, and that's the hardest part of the song... then the second part comes on all of a sudden all this emotion flows out hahaha. great cover bud

[leviathan382]

I have that same Zildjian crash. Word bruh.

[lambofgod6six6]

Great cover bro. Btw, I'd love to jam on your kit. It's so clean lol

[DukeofBerkshire]

u should play bass for my band... 

[SeanJonENT]

you should really just keep the audio from the left angle and mute all the other audio and use that audio. It would be the same angles and shit, only with left angle's audio. The left sounds best.

that is only a suggestion. I am ignorant, though

[AmitKanfi]

hey bro! insane cover!!! i uploaded a cover for COMPOSURE today so itll really help me if u check it out! thanks man

[Chops69666]

what kind of cymbals do you use weight wise heavy?, Thin?

[ApostateDrummer]

@Chops69666 in general - medium mostly.

[lowprofile6]

That was a very good cover. Great Job!

[pokemetalfan]

Thats not a bad kit, i think he does give a damn about it to put that much onto it.

[olsalesd]

You are sick but that bass drum makes a fart noise...maybe its just the way its being picked up....or im used to hearing my bass drum live.

[SwornInDrummer]

I just posted a cover like this of White Washed, took a lot of inspiration from the way you did this video! i'd really appreciate it if you checked it out

[SlayaBoyjesse]

Is that the sound your ride makes? its beastly! and what kind of china do you use on your right?

[ApostateDrummer]

@SlayaBoyjesse the china is istanbul radiant or something like that :)

[Poodlefang89]

Great job bro.

[latinder1]

4:03 VERY impressive bass control :) congratz on the great cover

[MullenMatix]

siiick cover and your bands awesome too

[AndrewChesney1]

how many takes did it take? btw amazing cover this song is so much harder than it looks not a single part is repeated

[ApostateDrummer]

@AndrewChesney1 i had something like 7 angles, so 7 takes at least, + i probably messed up in some places and had to to do more takes, i don't even remember now, it's been such a long time ago, haha

[chikidrummer]

nice cover, bro!

[SlaterNater100]

I'm not a drummer myself but I think the toms keep ringing a little... Again I know nothing but excellent cover, this song has one of he best breakdowns I've ever heard :D

[mbaerjr]

very good cover over all. blasts off.. but footwork is awesome. and very nice cymbols.. #justsayin and DO YOU GOT A BIG ENOUGHT ZIL BELL NEXT TO YOUR SPLASH?!

[xcyrclesx]

used to have those shoes

[therockstar754]

Could someone please check my drum vids? That would make my day.  : )

[AHillFL]

you should invest in some mics. worth every penny

[Boudii0001]

Ar you left or right handed? U use both hands on the snare. owsom

[sebbimon]

Someone already said it probably, just take the audio track from the best sounding angle, and then just get the other videos and get them mixed. And work on your blasts, they werent too tight. Otherwise cool cover, very good foot work.

Favorited, and subscribed :)

[ApostateDrummer]

@sebbimon thanks man, i've already done it in my next vids ;)

[littlewahoo27]

heres a tip for next time. take the audio from one camera angle and mix it in with the other video shots. dont use the audio from all the camera angles because the audio changes every time it switches angles.

[lyonjake55]

You're a great drummer, but I'm not liking the tuning of your kit.

[heartkiller93]

um ok 7 camera angles, id rather you decently mic you kit lol

[bobbyflay]

what's the small china next to your 18in crash? I'm not a drummer, but my drummer is obsessed with ABR and is looking for a cymbal like that

[ApostateDrummer]

@bobbyflay it's not a china, it's zilbell 9" and next to it is zxt rock splash 12"

[lovezpoptartz]

insane cover! and NICE footwork!!!! could you please message me the cymbals you use?? they sounds amazing!

[DrumzGuitarVocalz]

aye get RemO control tone rings for your toms because they sound like really rough there suppose to sound smooth

[casemanoh7]

I must say your cover of Color Lines was better. But its still awesome! how long did it take you to get that fast with double bass. I've been playing for almost 3 years and I'm not near that fast. Do you recommend a metronome?

[ApostateDrummer]

@casemanoh7 thanks bro, COC was the hardest song i've ever learned lol

dude, metronome is absolutely VITAL, you can't practice without it

[casemanoh7]

@ApostateDrummer Yeah dood I imagine! Every time I listen to COC I think dang, it would take me like a year to learn of their songs. But sweet! I'm def gonna pick up a metrenome soon then! thanks.

[VENOM10299]

Eww the jerk and turk at 0:26.

[WhispersOfALiar]

Dude, how'd get so badass at double bass?

[ApostateDrummer]

@WhispersOfALiar i just practiced with metronome a lot :)

[WhispersOfALiar]

@ApostateDrummer I see, thanks I'll just keep going at it with the metronome then! Awesome job by the way! :)

[sixpackguy3445]

@ApostateDrummer what is the line 6 amp for? i have one and i love it.

[rSara8]

probobly their best song

great job! :D

[Drocsta1234]

Amazing man.... Inspiring bro...great cover

[MattM2011]

I mean on your left and behind you.

[DeathAdmin]

It should be illegal for people to be this good. great cover mate. Also if it isnt that much trouble, what kinda crash symbals you using? They look kinda thick and make a beast sound. Thanks!

[ApostateDrummer]

@DeathAdmin ahaha, thanks man! On this video I used Z Custom Rock Crash 16" and A Custom Projection Crash 18"

[DeathAdmin]

@ApostateDrummer ah the Z Custom series! i love those cymbals. Thanks a bunch mate, now i know what cymbals to go buy :D

[MattM2011]

The angle on your left sounds the best.

[greengourleyowens]

hey man, great cover! what type of trash is it?

[BluflameX2]

sick stick trickkkkkss

[TWLB17]

The only reason this has different angles is because you did every part of the song in a different take. It sounds bad because you are using the Mic on the camera.

[ApostateDrummer]

@TWLB17 if you had read comments to the vid before starting talking bullshit you would've known that I shot the entire song for every angle.

And thanks for the info about camera mic, cap.

[TheHighflyingHomeboy]

The only thing I can critizice is the changing audio... The rest is just perfect.

Sick doble bass.

What kind of a china is it... It sounds asskickin..

All in all : Amazing cover.

[ApostateDrummer]

@TheHighflyingHomeboy thanks, man, it's Istanbul Radian China 18" (i'm not sure about the word Radian though, haha)

[SpaceHamster11]

My arms and calves hurt from just watching this video. Damn son

[MrPatertot]

I lost this Cd D: I don't know where it is! I think I'll with out it!

[Sn0w4Lif3]

ur double bass is AMAZING!!!

[Casphr]

Perfect cover!

[truthbetold7771]

dude! you have to cover " up against the ropes" and " truth of a liar" by ABR. :D

[Roflmane]

love ur shoes

[nextstepbackwards]

holy crap! beastly cover bloody insane :D

[EBFTW]

hows the ride?

[ApostateDrummer]

@EBFTW it's good, definitely worth its price

[godjesusmoses]

@ApostateDrummer

What kind of ride are you using and how much did it cost?

If you don't mind me asking.

[ApostateDrummer]

@godjesusmoses hey, man, not at all - it's Zildjian ZXT Rock ride, I live in Czech Republic, so the prices here differ a bit from prices in Canada - but here it costed around 175 US dollars or so :)

[toastguy182]

sick double bass man

[Jellymann]

awesome ! but i don't like the way you have tuned you're toms ! :)

[COOLBEANS8029]

@Jellymann are you talking bout his shoes?

[JoelRussell20]

the snare sounds kinda dulll :(

[fredomansynth]

work on your timing, practice with a metronome, but over all looks okay..

yeah and i can't hear the bass kick that well on some camera angles. cheers!! ABR Rules

[mattmakescovers]

The only thing i could suggest is to loosen up and have more fun :) otherwise awesome cover!

[haydenaust]

Fuck yeah, great cover! Double kick work and timing was solid!

[itsluisx]

great cover, great band

keep it up

[BandShortcut]

Nice Hartke HA3500 :)

[DrumCoverCRITIC]

didnt use any mics? Sounds like you just used the audio from each camera making it sound baddddddd

[slipsturbed548]

dude not gonna lie. your band is pretty sweet. i hope you guys get at least somewhat big. ill look out for any new albums or songs you may come out with. keep up the good work

[sandersfan1325]

dude, u are fucking amazing!!!!

[slipsturbed548]

dude not gonna lie. your band is pretty sweet. i hope you guys get at least somewhat popular and ill keep an eye out for any albums you guys may release

[Texasinjuly18]

how long did it take you to be able to go that fast and stay consistant the whole time with the double kick

[destruction110]

what kind of bell you got man, the big one?

[ApostateDrummer]

@destruction110 it's Zil Bell :)

[nameht55]

@ApostateDrummer awesome cover man. was really impressed with 1:05 doing that and keepin the double bass in line was insane

[ThankYou4TheRice]

u should just use the audio from 1 angle cuz some dont pick up the bass or whatever ya know?

[ApostateDrummer]

@ThankYou4TheRice yeah, i know, that's what i started doing after this vid - you can check it out on the rest of my videos.

[itsjustadrianfoo]

Sick sick sick!!! very good, just gotta tune your drums a bit and you'll sound like a god! lol

[Protesthedrummer7]

How'd you get your double bass speed so tight?

[955nathan]

put more padding in basses they sound like shit. a outstanding cover just get better drums :P and DEFINITELY do something about your snare man.

[PeterxControl]

i wish the music it self wasnt so loud so i could actually hear ur drums.. but just by looking i can kinda tell its pretty much perfect.

ps i think u would be a super cocky douche irl though. =_=

[ApostateDrummer]

@PeterxControl hahaha, thanks, and why do you think so? :D

[PeterxControl]

@ApostateDrummer lol i dunno thats just the first impression i got from u. like judging a book by its cover

[ApostateShred]

@PeterxControl he really is a fucking dick

[BFMVdrummer]

NICE. You look a bit like Kevin Bacon.

[guitarspring]

just kidding i read your profile lol i'm jealous you're in a band and you don't live near toledo ohio cuz i'd probably pay you to join a band with me lmao.

[guitarspring]

damnn are you in a band?

[anfifi7777]

nice shorts

[ergopropterhoc]

overedited like a motherfucker

[jonathanseal777]

ohh ok they reminded me of the t90 soccer cleats by nike thats why i asked lol. your band sounds pretty cool btw. heres a band i play in, im a new guy so my pic isnt up there :/ but ive been drumming for these guys for about 10 months now. haha

[jonathanseal777]

i know this is a drum video....but where did you get those shoes? lmao

[ApostateDrummer]

@jonathanseal777 haha, i bought them at a local skateshop, it's some model of Fallen.. :)

[jumpingchino]

Im likin this for the trick in the beginning and this is a good cover

[Psychostick1]

? so you did a part of the song , then changed the camera angle , did the next part and so on ?

[ApostateDrummer]

@Psychostick1 no, i played the entire song from every angle and then put them together.

now i do it a bit differently, i use audio from one angle only (so it doesn't change with every different angle), but still I play the whole song from every angle.

[Psychostick1]

@ApostateDrummer Ooh :) and that's a great idea , the audio problem was pretty annoying :D

[jonfrogy28]

nice

[zackary211]

i stand corrected on that last comment i just looked it up a few mesures he doesnt

[zackary211]

really good playing the only thing i could say is on your blast beats the hi hat is going the same speed as the snare not half but other than that i liked it showed really good hand form

[oliws62]

something's wrong with your bass drum dude :)!

But very nice cover :)!

[GermanPhotoshopMaker]

nice double bass ;)

[Drummerstefen]

are u using 1 camera for all of this?

[ApostateDrummer]

@Drummerstefen yep, just one.

[DrewOfTheAn]

@ApostateDrummer so you had to play this 7 times right? damn such a lot of work I think?

[ApostateDrummer]

@DrewOfTheAn yeah, you're right...well, it's totally worth it, cause i love drumming and making vids :)

[hiimtucker]

when you're looking from the left side of him, it looks like hes in a cave in Iraq. lol

TAMA IRON COBRA!! woo

[Ryannwearsprada]

0:27...nice flip! Ha

[Dustinday8907]

Good job man! You have really good feet work.

[daaviud]

can you tell me what camera you are using?

[ApostateDrummer]

@daaviud yeah, sure, it's Sony HDR-TG3E

[LETS1GO2DIE3]

sick dude !
