Down With The Sickness by Disturbed, Drums by Stephen G

[thtspro]

Worst tecnique ever man

[spartanx123476]

lol, you didnt start at the right time of the song XD

[Mike483898]

To be honest... I quite like it, He may have messed up a bit, But it sounds quite good, Not sure if hes actually hitting them except the symbols because it sounds completely pre-recorded at the beginning, But good job!

[HannahBlannco]

hes okk

WOW

[HannahBlannco]

he dident even tach the drums he turred the shit on so it looked like he was acsaly playing itsmart ass hahahahaha you dident even no that hahha lmao WOW!!!! dicks

[bickersinc]

dude its suposed to be on the ride sym.

[GnarkillFTW]

why is every1 bashing on this kid? since when do you need to play a song exactly like the original? its called artistic interpretation guys :P its half the fun of being a musician

[lambofgod122]

for real guys??? whats with all the haters??? he did an awesome job, yes he imporvised, but do you expect it to be perfecT??? i wana see all of you that are hating, put up a better cover of this!

Nice work man! sounds great! keep it up!

[stuartrm91]

phoenixgirl39

i understand his drumkit isnt as good and he played the intro very well but remember he isnt using professional recording equipment, hence the poor sound

[dagold4750]

For the rest of you idiot pukes who don't play drums and have the BALLS to talk shit about this young mans "improv" drumming, all I have to say is this.....fucking try doing better, you wont come anywhere near this good!!!

Good job kid..keep banging them skins! Remember....the only way to predict the future is to create it!! Thumbs up!!

[leegoermita]

in my opinion, he did a good job improvising. XD

[L1B3R83R]

if you know if you did so terrible on it then why don't you redo the cover dumbass

[phoenixgirl39]

I also like how people are mad because he didn't do it the EXACT way Disturbed did it, and yet I was watching this other guy play the exact way and they bitched because he didn't add his own stuff.

[bear9672]

@phoenixgirl39 thats true, because people and the human race are greedy, and won't be happy with anything they have until they lose it.

[phoenixgirl39]

Plus you guys have to keep in mind that he's got standard drums where Disturbed has the truly professional kits. So for something standard, it's pretty damn good.

[stuartrm91]

@phoenixgirl39 what are u talkin about? a wasnt aware drums came in 2 categories, either standard or professional lol

[phoenixgirl39]

@stuartrm91 How about you go look at Disturbed videos, compare them to his and you'll understand what I'm talking about.

[gocybigt1]

i like it ... yah the fills could b better and the improve could stand a lil more of this n that ect.... but over all best cover or the sickness on drums ive seen thus far

[dude991575]

this is gay

[christfohforever]

I love how people are trying to look so smart telling the dude that he messed up. well if u retards are so smart then read his description. Nice job, not the exact song, but still sounds pretty bad ass

[TheBIGnotarmuzi]

make a new video then and learn more suff wit the toms u did the same shit n it sounds gay lol u did the same thing the whole time

[CrazyRandomCrap51]

Dude you did amazing :) good improvising :)

[ialproductions1]

leave da kid alone gosh people

[TeslaNick2]

You hold your sticks in the most perculia way...

[Sserxe]

improvising adds your own flavor to the song and is closer to how they play live. If you want a perfect play back get the studio album

[alkenemy]

i agree what a tart nub

[disturbed1214]

you really shouldn't improvise on a cover because it sounds absolutely terrible, so for future reference just do a cover.

[Ducky12371]

dude that was awsome i think you did great that was cool

[chronicmango]

I would highly recommend changing your grip. I can tell you are self taught (as am I) but you really should take some time and learn the technically correct way to hold your sticks, it will increase your abilities to do diddles and single strokes much better. I don't think you screwed the song up like some of these idiots down here do, but you could probably work on changing your grip, and play a little harder man... you barely tap those crashes, so you can't even get decent sound out of them...

[XBlacKxProdigyX]

what a fag on drums.

[MrFreePotato]

Your drum kit is totally lame just buy a new one you jerk

[5585deathmage]

lmfao you got the gay cymbals from the starter pack LMFAO

[metaldrummer4444]

whats the word im looking for.........oh yeah, TERRIBLE!!!!!!!

[dude991575]

so wrong i have no words for it

[xTenTenXShippuudenx]

Awesome.

[MrTattooeddrummer]

You doing a great job but the verses are half time single bass. your doing to much. but it sounds good

[phenominal39]

haha "I took this part out because it had too many bad words"

[IFoundTheInternet]

That kid did better than most of other people who failed miserably at the intro.

[drbunny1]

dang not bad kid not bad what drums were u using im gettin ideas cause im gettin to the point where i can play that song perfectly i just dont have the right drums and cymbals for so if u will please provide those for me on my profile on a personal message

[FALTUS89]

@drbunny1 .you should b able to play that with just a high hat and two crashes your choices in seizes he also uses a ride but u dont need that you can use a crash but when you hit just tap it like you were on a ride

[RomaniaGangzta]

alta hört sich schon gut an, aba dein übergang is irgendwie "nicht original" ;D heißt aba nicht, dass es sich scheiße anhört^^

[fudgelord123]

cool i have the same exact hihats.

ZILDJIAN BABY

[5585deathmage]

@fudgelord123 mine are ZBT not ZHT what the fuck is the differnece someone tell me lol

[rockgirl5671]

I am trying to learn this song on drumset for pep band. This video really helped. Great job!

[FOXTROT12344]

that was preety good keep it up

[ApocalypseDrummer]

Nice, i'm learning that song. Your friend is funny at the end lol.

[indytiger29]

you do the same thing as me you kick everything with your right hand and snar with your left haha but yea hit harder everything is replacable

[onceremembered]

this is really good man

[rubenhz12]

Don't tell him not to be afraid to hit his cymbols, it sounds better when you don't hit them to hard in this song, TRUST ME!!!

[drumer10264]

dude dont be afraid to hit your cymbols or your toms even your snare they are not made of glass. you hit your snare like you are afraid of noise or dont want to break it and play your drums like you mean it.

[drumer10264]

dude dont be afraid to hit the cymbols your drums are not made of glass play them like you own them not like you are renting them

[TheStation1000]

i think u have an awsome set, just need to learn how to actually play the songs.

[TheStation1000]

you totally screwed up the song. Ok in the verses, you didnt play 16th notes, in the intro u did not play right either and u tried showing off by doing all kinds of tom stuff in between. Reply "I agree" if anyone agrees with me!

[AceOfSpades1997]

its a cover?

[StephenGuarino]

dude xD im improvising the whole time, its what i do. lookin back over a year now, i agree i messed up alot and could have done better, but oh well.

[alexxj220]

@StephenGuarino lol. i love it when people moan about 16ths, 8ths n shit like that. This kid is just jamming to a good song. Leave him alone...... your just a troll who has nothing better to do with there life apart from pickin on kids playing drums. WEll DONE YOU.

[beastymann]

@StephenGuarino may not have been right but no screw up, you knew what you were doing, sounded good

[tacticalshroom]

@StephenGuarino he may not have played it right, but he made it original. all in all, it sounded pretty good.

[bmxchamp4]

@TheStation1000

lol for real dude haha he was improvising and honestly i think he made the song better.. this kicks man good job

[thatdude395]

@TheStation1000 quit ur bitchin its not that big a deal

[disturbed1214]

i totally a agree, there's no bass in the intro and there's no fills in between

[TrainDrummerOfRS]

@TheStation1000 I'd like to see you do it perfect,Geez buddy, Don't take life so serious geeeez ^^

[goowy1256]

@TheStation1000 yea he needs more bass in the intro

[goowy1256]

@TheStation1000 and he didnt use the ride symbol in the beginning

[noediebroedie]

@TheStation1000 110% Agreed!

[thedreadfultoybox]

sick vid dude

[udyjay]

That was wonderful! Though, I was looking forward to the part that you cut out... but thats okay. XD

[arred332]

now that was awsome i wish i was as good as you!!!!! =D but ill keep trying this keep your spirit up

[stormy622]

cjboyz2013 SHUT UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I THOUGHT IT WAS GOOD SO F OFF AND LEAVE HIM ALONE got that I HOPE SO(i liked the song hope you become pro! =) )

[cjboyz2013]

that wasnt bad except for that it wasnt the full version, it was the (clean) version which sucks, so whats rong kid u too much o a pussy to hear the real words?? or did ur mommy tell u not to listen to it?/

[jzseymour]

@cjboyz2013

Who the fuck are you? What the fuck does this have to do with the drumming. Its the same. Why try are start something?

[cjboyz2013]

well for one, im a dam cj boy thank u and he wasnt that great anyway and no im not tryin to start anything, its just that people who listen to the clean version, seem like pussys

[StephenGuarino]

Hey faggot why come out of nowhere and try pissing people off. dont like it? then get the fuck out of here.

[cjboyz2013]

no asshole, i do like it, its just the fact that the best fucking part isnt even there so its like not een the real fucking song so fuck u!

[n8roketson]

@StephenGuarino its a bit ironic that ur mom forces u to listen to the clean version but she lets you curse like that, you need a spanking you little bitch

[dragonongkh]

Dude i actually heard the word'' you fucker get up'' in the song.

[piggybank777]

dude omfg you didnt know that..... wow you are slow

[iannnc]

kinda odd the way your holding your sticks but it looks like its working for you

[TheDuldia]

extreme double bass action. lol its not that fast

[jokafuel]

rock on :D

[99maxime99]

failed...

[Zarranjer]

Your Drum Teacher isnt great then

anshumanrocks.

[JacobStupify3]

no, jam blocks sorry

[kdrums92595]

nice colerfull things those cowbells???(Y)

[JacobStupify3]

btw they are called wood blocks

there made out of plastic thats weird

[FallOutGirl78]

Too many bad words? That's the best part! (second to the drum intro). :o

Anyways. Awesome job. ^-^

[data528]

u suck

[davidmaster10]

the best part is deleted ):

[davidmaster10]

disturbed the best

[darkpsyker]

Hell yeah my man!

[anshumanrocks]

best cover ever seen!!!even my drum

teacher does not play this good...5***** for that

[AceOfSpades1997]

well, then youre teacher aint good ;s.... The guy in the video is really good but not as good as a real teacher :/.

well , 5/5 for the cover :D

[TheWho852]

sweet kit man but why all the latin percussion?

[zept42]

best cover ive seen so far

[thecrossband]

is this double pedal?

[scope150]

i agree with stephen if you don't put in some of your own style then your just another drummer

[s030141]

okau, sorry for not reading your video information, but your a dumbass, your contradicting yourself now..."Sorry, i was unaware that BLIND people WATCH my VIDS." 3 words - contradicting words

[s030141]

sorry, but in the video it is wrong...at the start of bar 21 and onwards it it 16th notes on the hi-hats, not eigth notes...sorry

[StephenGuarino]

you obviously didnt read that i said this was an improvisation. Sorry, i was unaware that blind people watch my vids.

[Gurkzz]

all it says in your description that may have ANY relevance to what you just said here is "keep in mind that I'm improvising more than i am doing a drum cover."

please, tell me how that is preventing you from holding the drum sticks in one of the 5 or so ways you possibly can?

i didn't know that retards played the drums, sorry man.

[Gurkzz]

Learn how to hold your sticks properly man... No, it does not look like a French Grip, Zemikian. What it looks like is he's been trying to play this song for a few months now without any knowledge lol.

[jocy373]

NICEE!

[KingNegativeCreep]

awesome cymbals

[FrankRizzo6662]

The improvisation comment just an excuse to cover up the fact that its wrong. God damn, now im down with the sickness from this shit :(

[StephenGuarino]

Listen up faggot, i add in my own style to have fun with it. if i played it just like YOU wanted me to, and how the song is "supposed" to be, then i would be a boring ass drummer now wouldnt i.

[FrankRizzo6662]

hey there son, talk to me like that and ill drop you like a used condom. btw, is your family tree a wreath? ya buttnut... take up a different hobby in something you are good at

[MICHAELAFRO]

nice one bro..

Keep it up. :)

[00tOOl00]

te falta!

[Razorskator]

did any one else notice the way he held his sticks....well his left one....like hes trying to write with it :P just looks a bit weired and his sticks are kinda just floppin around....hold em a bit tighter and play those zildjian crash cymbals the way they were ment to be...really loud

[ZemikianUchiha]

actually it looks more like french grip

[StephenGuarino]

looks to me like im just holding them =/

[utter125]

nice ending :D

[rockabandauk]

wow that was great, nice improv on the fills sounded better than the original in places!

[2kickflip2]

the intro on the toms is

313233132331323132331323313231­3233132331323132331323

and soo on but nice cover

[drumsandknex321]

really good. I would make a drum cover of this but I don't have it on my ipod!!

[StrayGhostWolf]

Btw the guy playing the drums looks like Drake frum Drake & Josh, only a little though. Just saying.

[StrayGhostWolf]

Well I don't really play drums, so, I think that wuz pretty good and the intro sounded a *little* different but it wasn't bad, it was better! I like this, if only I could find a tutorial though I want this to be the first song I play. Nice, 5/5.

[UnderFilms]

yeah man i agree with alexboersen09. the intro was incorrect. usually people play 4's or 8's on the ride after you hit the cymbals. other than that though, good job.

[Turbanito]

sept the way u hold the sticks (which is up to u i guess, just ticked me of a bit) the rest was good idno why others say its not that good but i liked it..(:

[grooms63941]

wierd way of holding your sticks but ok.

[paBoricua922]

i hope on day u hit ur funny bone on tht wall behind u jk it was pretty good just hit a bit harder

[alexboersen09]

Intro was a fail. Rest wasen't bad.

[drumboyrocks]

please hit a bit harder! you are hitting like a pussy and that ain't ok in a heavy metal song! anyways very nice cover :D

[mattyboy98gm]

rofl at first one of the drums looked like a toilet

[StrayGhostWolf]

Lolz.

[mattyboy98gm]

sooooo unprofessional with those sticks

[Vlogofthewolfe]

Haha, nice drumming. Hope to get a better set soon. Wish I had zildjian and shit, but nice drumming :)

[smil3yproductions]

nice

[gamelapse]

the beginning has more bass than toms

and when the beginnings over, its bass ride and snare

where are people getting their info on songs? nobody knows how to play this song right

[DruMMinDude93]

i covered this song too u should tell me what u think dude, thanx

[AndrewGH2]

god damn Stephen..... good fucking job

Ur maryland buddy, Andrew

[blaster698]

lol it is funny the way u hold ur sticks

[Elenseel]

It's kinda loose, right? Looks awkward...I wonder how you'd do faster motions with it without tightening up

[ALBINO707]

hahaha!! i've never seen a censored drum cover before. nice one xD

[beatthemonkeydownwit]

R u serious..... U have got to send mE a Tutroial Im A drummer And ! day ima do that 4 School play

[BlackisBeast]

DUDE, is that thiago at the end?

[thiagov6123]

sure is

[NeverRemains]

You play it in a very different way O_o

But it sounds good, 5*

[kclangreck]

nice job dude rilly.. i tried this on drums i couldnt do it i suck at drums XD

[SeanimusMaximusSH]

Not too shabby. I like your fills :)

[razorguy13]

i self taught myself this but i use all the toms and bass for the intro

[flo125567890]

pls watch my drum cover!^^

[xXDr00dXx]

Lol, you used the clean version. XD

[basgaz1]

no he cut out the abusive mom part lol

[fanofthedrums]

sick!

[SomeguynamedJOn]

you can tell your self taught

[StephenGuarino]

the hells that supposed to mean >.>

[wifebeater29]

wat he mean is you dont play it the original way

[SomeguynamedJOn]

it means you have bad form and don't know what your doing

[xXDrybanannaXx]

Damn dude, you're fuckin' awesome. Taught yourself too? You are now my role model haha. :D Hope to see more drum covers from you, badass man. 5/5 -fav- -sub-

[fanofCOH]

next thing for you to tackle is my man joey, aka drummer from slipknot, small, innocent looking, but a mofo bad ass drummer. good luck, im personaly a maggot for life!

[yyzbyrush]

If anybody has a member account that has fog horn and birthday cake plz tell me your username and password i will change the billing adress for it

[StephenGuarino]

wtf are you talking about

[kylewod]

Nice job!  I like how you have your own style!

[WaWaTV]

That was pretty good dude

[thedirector987654]

A few questions:

How old are you?

How long have you been playing?

How much did your set cost?

Good drumming by the way =]

[StephenGuarino]

im 15, and ive taught myself everything i know about drumming. ive been interested in drums since i was about 10, only in the last 2 years did i really get involved.

my set? hmm.... it was my dads set, and he got it in 1979. back then, without the percussion rack, and the double bass, it was about 1200.

then recently i added the percussion rack, which was about 3 or 400, the double bass was a few hundred, and the new high hat stand + cymbal was another 200 or so.

[thedirector987654]

Wow, well it sounds pretty good, but expensive. same but im 14, and also im getting a kit thats only 200, haha, hope it sounds good. Again, good drumming =], and thank you

[StephenGuarino]

anytime dude =D

keep rockin, and never give up

find something or someone to motivate you and keep you goin

[soccermylife17]

You were making up shit as you went. wtf?

[StephenGuarino]

yeah its called improvising dude....

[soccermylife17]

My bad lol. sorry .

[Lillkf]

0:36 r u choking your hi hat

[dontbeaplayahata1]

YOU ROCK DUDE! keep up the good work

[fergrr]

very good

[SquierSkater91]

i know your improvising and idk if u know this but the verse is supposed to mean 16th notes. im sorry if u meant to play it as 8th notes

[mapexlb]

i'm just trying to help when I say this ok? you're grip technique is too light and off center to play powerful and correctly. I am a professional player and teacher if you want help feel free to msg me. keep it up

[Zoldowzer]

I luv your set and I see you have a lot of auxilary instruments near your toms. I'll give you some advice for your kit though, add more toms! More toms, instruments, and other crud, the better the sound, and your overall playing and sound should increase ten-fold. I have 6 toms and a floor tom, I would like to have more but I cant afford it, also a great addition to your set would be timbales. They make an increadible high pitch tom sound.

[StephenGuarino]

i had the cowbells and such laying around so i figure i might as well use em. i would LOVE to add another tom to my set, but i probably wont end up adding one for awhile. i know what you mean, and its true. the more you have to work with, the better you get

[omgmricon]

dam... pretty good lol way good great vid nice job!

[miniben8]

massive fail no way near the right beats

nice try kid but learn from the pros
