Umphrey's McGee- Plunger Drum Cover

[ThereAndBackAgainKS]

sounds great mate. Keep those back fingers on the stick during your rolls around the kit. I give you much love, keep it up

[aaronmathewclem]

@clinkalexa lucky! I wish I had such royal blood in my family.

[aaronmathewclem]

man you really start tearing it up after the first minute. nice work!

[triplelmatt]

Hey great job. I play drums myself and play to this song a lot. You should covert conduit, it would be great!!!!! Please and Thank you.

[portnoyfan06]

The middle section of this song is a latin feel sorta... You need to make it feel like one a little better.. other than that not bad.

[xXNukeMeXx]

DUDE, I FUCKING LOVE UMPHREYS MCGEE. Support my foundation Cumshots for cool kids.

[PositivelyBored]

One tip I have: find the fulcrum point on your drum sticks and play there rather than gripping way down. Gripping down is fine for heavy backbeat playing, but Kris in this song is much funkier. Most of your ghosts notes are blah-sounding and sloppy. You want to be crisp and have "feel" and intent behind each note, and the starting point is gripping the sticks so you can maximize rebound and be ready position ASAP for the next stroke.

[PositivelyBored]

learn the basics first, then try to play this song.  It'll come out much better.

Learn to walk first, before you run.

[dabbey001]

This is awesome man, such a hard track to cover.... well played!

[rgrainger09]

where can i download a non live version of this

[dragonsho]

@rgrainger09 The studio version is from the album Anchor Drops.

[irollemphat]

what'd you use to mic this?  this sounds sweet

[paterson90]

dam hes good lol

[neverenderdrummer]

dude how long have u been playing!? this is such a great cover!

[dragonsho]

That was awesome. Really close to the original, even Myers' crazy fills. What recording equipment do you use for the set?

[dolguldur6]

that was @bunn4funn by the way

[eatrocksah]

is ur bass drum high enough?

[Bunn4Funn]

Kris Myers says "tighten up", oh and so did my wife from the other room .......... sounded like this, "is that someone trying to play drums over UM " ?? c l i c k t r a c k But forreal im not a youtube hater, its cool you like UM and that you can play( i too play )even if your draggin on the tempo a lil hear and there keep it up man practice to a click track/metronome and youll be a beast .............someday..........­....

[dolguldur6]

lets see you play it buddy, sounded pretty damn good to me

[darollindutchman]

ye dude i would definitely like to see u try wizard burial ground. great job keep jammin

[mtcwv420]

Very nice Kasper! Kris Myers couldn't have done it better himself. Great double-bass work, i'm impressed with those fills on just a 4-piece

[DrmTilDie]

amazing song. that drumming looked and sounded spot on. just beautiful, nice job.

[GunMetalSparkle]

Yeah!!!

My man.

Loved the tune and the cymbal.

[ytap22]

Verrryy niicee!

Great job man, that was awesome.

[techservant]

very relaxed playing despite the fact you are kicking butt. Very talented, keep up the great work.

[msrysignals]

not bad, try your hand at covering Wizard Burial Ground

[Viper668]

Hey, how are you likeing the 17" HHX-plosion? I was thinking to get either a 17" or 18" to compiment my 16" and 18" AAX-plosion crashes.

[kasperholic073]

I love this cymbal. Although, I would have gotten the 18" if it were available (I could only get the 17 because there was a crazy good deal on it). I'm a fan of big cymbals :D

[freestyleyanks]

Great choice of song =)

Great cover, well done man

[TairyGreen89]

What set do you have by the way?

[kasperholic073]

Thanks. I have a Yamaha Stage Custom Advantage.

[yerkes19]

@kasperholic073 sounds good. Def gonna take a peek (newly in the market for an acoustic set)

[TairyGreen89]

nice chops

[NocturnalSurgeon]

Damn you´re good !!!!

Hahahah ...

Congratulations !!!

Nice drum and cymbals sound !

[umphreak18]

perfect

[isaydudelikemad]

I wouldn't say that but, it was pretty good.

[EvanGri]

nice man good choice for a cover

[bc74o7]

really good

[sbdrums2]

hey awsome cover man, the only thing is that grove at around 4:25 with the quick double on the feet should be able to be played with one foot. but that still sounded awsome

[samb721]

It looks like ur in a studio...whether u are or not, ur set sounds awesome man, nice bassdrum sound, that snare is TIGHT, toms...WHOOO, and WHO can go wrong with Sabian HHX's? What heads r on ur toms?

[TreyTomlinson]

nice work man. kris myers is one of the best out there in my opinion. really innovative brah

[joeycalfa]

sick

\mm/

[guildwarshobo]

Umphrey, your friend Matt (the drum teacher) say's you're amazing. This is one of his students who told me to check you out, and dude, you're amazing!

[kasperholic073]

Thanks!  But I'm afraid I have no idea what you're talking about haha! My name is actually Rob, and I'm not sure if I know a drum teacher Matt. Let me know what is going on! Thanks again for the kind words.

[tehGmoney]

"Umphrey's McGee" is the name of the band..lol

[SoloPizza7]

Haha nice try...

[kornclark]

very nice drumming man. check out the videos i shot for umphreys about a year ago in michigan, under my username. UM is a bunch of very talented, very humble musicians, therefore a good group to draw inspiration. keep up the great work!

[SinisterMint]

i love umphrey's mcgee man! im glad to see some love for them on here as well

[Chopster101]

Holy Crap Dude... that's beyond solid. I hope you have a band that can keep up with you. More UM covers please.

[JACKSONSIBLEY]

good cover man. not perfect but you have a close kris style which isnt easy- ive been trying to copy it for years. the nonchalant double bass is right on as far as his style goes.

[wcr4]

You n00b!!

What happened to the drum solos at 1:16 and 2:06? Do you not have the toms or something?

Also, the drums should stop at 4:15, :22, and :38. Otherwise, very classy, well done! You're a feeder.

[kasperholic073]

Thanks for being constructive. I always thought those drum solos were just Andy, hence why I don't play them. And I'm not sure what you mean by "feeder?" Thanks again.

[wcr4]

I watched a live video and Andy did play it, so my bad.

A feeder means that you pwn.

Good job again, hope to see more.

[jdrum90]

the drum fills are timbale parts, not tom parts. So its understandable. Solid cover though.

[VaughanJer]

very impressive... now i have something to watch and learn from!

myers is way too hard to follow!

[lukeskykerby]

solid cover man

[marbletiger10]

Nice job. You are really good. I love that song.
