Sultans of Swing - Drum cover - Chris Ewan

[razielmkd]

Sho prajs so tarabukive be!???

[GP1138]

I like the sound of your drums. The kick pattern is off, and the hihats are different in the verses. But you play very nicely. Good job.

[olsportsfreak9]

the snare is kinda weak

[Rushfan551]

lol. For a second I thought you were playing a drum throne with the sound of a snare.

Well done.

[robbietj1964]

Nice, I love how your drums are tuned, how did you get them to sound so good, Thats the sound I want....... Cheers Rob J

[DssRafaleM01]

Awesome sound you got there!

[heygra532]

Are u using senheiser hd201's? This is really good why are u lot having a go at him?

[coolboystouse]

do people not know the meaning of the word "COVER" fuck sake leave this guy alone good cover mate keep it up

[type42sheff]

Good mate

[larroperock14]

Genius Hello my name is Emanuel I of Argentina and the truth I really liked your way of playing the drums and nothing more I wanted to congratulate you and send you a greeting from Argentina

[Metal4Life572]

negativity is caused from bein jealous.no it wasnt 100% correct,but as you stated it was your cover...even the original drummer doesnt play it 100% as it was 1st recorded...dont listen to the negative b/s that people love to spread,you done a good job.

[michaelspadaro6]

Such hostility on this guy! Great cover, I don't understand the criticisms. I'm curious, is that a muffler on your snare, or a fancy head? It has an interesting sound.

[chrisewan57]

@michaelspadaro6 Hey man, nah its just the head - evans onyx

[rammers2006]

Good cover mate.... no matter what anyone says, its your cover!! the basic groove is there.. let it flow....

[nigelbyrne100]

I hate the way everyone acts like they know more then video uploaders on youtube with no proof ...Nice cover .. enjoyed it !

[guthoch]

dude, very cool!

thankx - really help me out.

[holapegame]

nice kit! really awesome!

[94FF]

that skin you have on the toms?

[DoomedMediators]

you should watch your tempo and be careful to to the proper thing on the hit hat during the verses. otherwise its quite good.

[chrisewan57]

@DoomedMediators Proper thing....? Cos you know exactly what im playing??? its my cover...

[CliveACTUALLY]

@DoomedMediators wanna put a video of you doing it up?

[taxmanstifler]

Too many crashes!!

[gratedeadful]

Good job, screw menoxu. Humble yourself menoxu before you judge others percussion skills. he probably meant to say he has been beating his peaker for a long time to this video. lol :)

[Birdman10687]

Love this song. Thanks for posting. Love people that post drum covers. Not a drummer, but love watching people play. Good luck!

[KieranMitchell2010]

Is The Snare Off?

[Czagio2006]

2:32, i particularly love that fill. been practicing this a bit lately so it's interesting to see everyone's take o it, thanks,

[DANnJORDAN]

hi dude

i think all of these drummers who say your shit are shit them selfs cause i have been playing for 4 years and im 14 and tbh im ok well i can play

joey jordinsons drum solo and stuff like job for a cowboy

but its not about speed or anything its a bout presision and passion

so all of you drummers who take the piss get fucked A GOOD DRUMMER NEVER BOASTS OR SAYS HE'S/SHE'S BETTER THAN SOMEONE ELSE

can you do a cover of lamb of god now you got something to die for i can play it so dw

[ColmIncendinall]

@menoxu Yet another internet hard man are we? More like a slob with nothing better to do, other than try to put down & intimidate people over the internet. I can just picture you now... Droppin your extra large tub of Ben & Jerry's into your sweaty-ass lap, ready to type back to me, but what's the point in even replying? You greasy bastard, if you can "drum circles" around chrisewan57, why don't you go ahead and upload a video. Back up your claim! Go on!

[TroyPellegrini]

nice "feel" for the song, if anything id say to try and lower the volume of your bass

[7495245]

hey don`t matter what they say. keep on playing is the only way to become in a real drummer.

Stewart Copeland

[raiden551666]

nice drumming:D:D

[autobusfahrer]

Pace?

[birdboi12345]

He's not bad; the sound is just a little too compressed and the subtle off-timing may be due to his syncing of the song to his recorded drum track. However, his playing (i.e. fills and adaption of the song to his style) is done pretty well.

[Honestinhow]

perfect man

great cover

[ZinayH]

This is really relaxing... and it was really great!

[TheOpenHanded]

mate shit hot keep on bangin!!!

[alezuliani]

Keep studding man... good luck!

[VimmiRidge]

right menoxu firstly, it isnt hard to try and kick off online at people, also what is the point of kickin off at peeps you dont even know, the fact that the first thing that came to your mind, which i dont quite get either, is gay pridejust shows your own personal insecurities and that your most likely closeted your self, to be honest if you have nothing better to do than the obvious maybe you should think about finding another way to spend your free time

[100010101000101]

cool cover man, but i reckon you need to sort out that grip, it seems your fingers don't have much contact with the stick which can make it tough when you get into faster things and rolls etc. maybe try holding the stick in between your first knuckle not your second on your index. but yeh apart from that, nice stuff

[Tobleronii]

your good.

[RaashyxMusicLover]

At the end of the fill at 4.49 I could almost hear applause in my head for some reason. It might deserve it though lol you did a great cover though.

[menoxu]

Maybe you should stop having you mom vote and you wouldn't have 5 stars.

Ive been a drummer a long time and can drum circles around you.

Also, if you saw me in person, you damn sure wouldn't tell me to shut up. So watch yourself you little punk.

[chrisewan57]

HAHAHA!!! Are you being serious?! Haha, that made my day mate.. "if you see me in person....."

Dont worry, I'll "watch myself", I wouldn't wanna get on the wrong side of one of your youtube comments, god knows what could happen to me

hahaaa

[thermass]

looolllll dudes a fag... good drummin man keep it up ps. i like it lots.

[menoxu]

Theres a 10 yr old on here that blows you away. give it up. And stop having your gay pride gang posting things on here they cant back up.

[chrisewan57]

Mate, I dont give a shit about your 10 year old bum buddy.

I'm not on here to try to compete with others drummers, I'm just uploading my stuff for fun. So stop getting your kicks from saying crap to people over the internet and if you dont like it dont watch it.

[marids]

@chrisewan57 Cus dont listen to idiots like that, you're an excellent drummer and what you say is right.

[Lbleese]

@menoxu you stupid prick you clearly dont have a clue what your on about, id like to see you play it better, take your dick out that boys ass and get a life

[danethical]

So where are your drumming videos? Come on then, show us you playing this cover. You are all mouth you asshole. And YES, I would have no problem telling you that in person. I would slap you just like the bitch that you are.

[menoxu]

You would slap me? Im not your mom dude, you couldnt step up to the big boys. Tough guy with words arent you, bet you run scared in person, pussy.

[beanmike206]

Shitty troll is shitty

[menoxu]

This is horrible. Dude you should pick another instrument. Not like the original and the tempo is allover the place.

[chrisewan57]

Well it seems you're the only one who thinks this as it has 5 stars. When you think you can do better go ahead and post up your video and we'll see how yours gets rated, until then, shut up.

And as for taking up another instrument... Im a grade 8 qualified drummer, have played with alot of different bands, have my own band who were picked out of the top 30 in the UK for doncasters tattoo jam and have many contacts who would happily tell you that I should definatley not stop playing the drums.

[marids]

@menoxu Leave my cousin alone!

[JackBut88]

Good but the bass drum is wrong!!

[chrisewan57]

It's not wrong, its just not the same as the origional, if you read the description i say that I am not trying to copy the exact drumming played on the record, I'm just playing what i want to.

[FieserTyp666]

Very nice drumming, I just think your drumheads are too muffled. Apart from that, nice stuff!

[danethical]

muffinmonk2 Your a bloody idiot. Different drummers have different setups. Some even have the rides behind them or over their heads. You know diddly shit about drumming.

I completely agree with pathway2life with the suggestions given.

Work on a more comfortable setup. You do look uncomfortable but really nice fills etc. Good job. Keep it going.

[chrisewan57]

Thanks for the advice, but to be fair, only the drummer themself knows if they feel comfortable or not, and I do feel comfortable with my setup and find it easy to play.

Thanks anyway

[pathway2life]

nice stuff dude, the only thing i would suggest to work on would be to work on your touch. thats the problem with a lot of todays upcoming drummers, they just wanted to look cool but dont pay any attention to making a good sound. the major thing i noticed is that you rest your left hand on your leg and hit the snare, thats a killer thing to do. also you should try loosening your grip on the sticks, you look like your trying to choke them.

[muffinmonk2]

i know someone who hurt themselves because they had their ride over to the side, you might want to move it a bit to the left

[chrisewan57]

How the f*** do you hurt yourself having a ride over to the right! Your "someone you know" is a retard.

[muffinmonk2]

he moved his arm too fast and pulled a muscle

[chrisewan57]

pussyhole

[marids]

@chrisewan57 language chris! x)

[marids]

@chrisewan57 merry xmas its boxing day '09 right now

[bashir7ayfina]

how to download that ??

[killer8694]

good job. but there is a way to take off the origional drums on the track, so that you can put in your own. i dont know exactly how to do it, but you can look it up on the internet or something.

[marids]

WOTCH HIS OVER VID COMENTORS

[souzabaptista]

Great drumming man! Keep on rocking! Regards

[grnarcotic]

That was a great performance! There was only one thing to hold it back; sound quality. The camera mic can't receive all sound frequencies. For example, I could hear the "dry" sound of (I can't remember the word in English) the big drum hitting it with your leg, yet this sound should have depth. Try recording with the microphones over your drums and fitting it with your video from the camera. However great performance especially at 4:27. Keep it up!

[chrisewan57]

i am using the audio from the drum mics - read the video description where i put details of how i recorded it

[marids]

awesome drumming cous!

[1995LilDrummer]

can i make a suggestion for the next song to do? ermm, could you do "Here Comes The Sun" i dont what sort of mind which version. Thank you

[chrisewan57]

I'll have a look at that, never heard of it before though!

I have a couple going up this week, then I'll take a look.

Thanks

[1995LilDrummer]

if you dont like that song. try out, Avenged Sevenfold- Bat Country

[chrisewan57]

yeah i'm posting that up pretty soon, want to get that perfect though, as it is a highly covered and popular song on youtube

[atya88]
