Andy Mckee-Into The Ocean (with Drums)

[jesselee0122]

I think you have a great taste for what this song needs. The drums were subtle enough to not take away from the guitar but added just the right dynamic. Very nice bro.

[alikakuikaika]

this is the best drum over of Andy Mckee so far. You understand taste, and control. sounds great

[freebeer08]

Beautiful dude. Absolutely beautiful. All you need to do is play a small bit harder. You can then bring the drums down in the mix later, like guitarmike90 suggests.

But really beautiful. You were trying to be "tasteful." Well you got it bang on my friend.

Uh oh, the song is over. Right, post this and listen again! :P

Well done, keep em coming!

[OnTheRoof1]

@freebeer08 Thanks very much!

[botana3]

solo se escucha tu hi hat ¬¬

[tk100]

out of many youtube drum cover, you are one the smartest, agree that sometimes less is more.

5/5

[themorningof]

sweet

[guitarmike90]

This is quite common when you haven't spent alot of time in studiosessions. What you're doing is playing very softly because you don't want to drown the guitar out, because you are tributing him, not accompanying. I would adivse you to play harder, and bring the drums down in the mix instead, Cymbals don't really make the right sound unless you give them a proper strike (that doesn't mean bashing, but stroking). So don't worry about being louder than the song during recording, soften it later :)

[OnTheRoof1]

HI mike, thanks very much for the tip. I wouldnt of thought of that!

[GermanStiffy]

i get your point guitarmike/friend...he´s really scared to rape it! BUT that´s only one of 3 possebilities (excuse my english!!!) i imagine a softened (and lower pronounced) vintage bassdrum for this type of drumpart, but that would require money the bloody will and skills on a sequencer for sure....wé´re not all like SheroocOre...may the devil haunt this fuckhead!!!!!!!!

[nOvAcRoX]

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[WellingtonReyes55]

nice bro

[jbowen24]

I always wondered what this combonation would sound like. Very tasteful, well done. Nice arrangement.

[OnTheRoof1]

Thanks :)

[guitardedforyou]

I Like the Idea, But The Execution Was Rather Simplistic. More Technicality Is All It Needs.

[OnTheRoof1]

I think anymore would be too much

[guitardedforyou]

Agreed, But I Think A Little More Light Cymbal Hits Or Something Would Fit Good. Other Than That, I Really Liked It

[Goldenn16]

This is just incredible, Just get stuffer brushes, other wise, i think Andy himself would like this add on to his song. Just wonderfull

[TriviumFan15]

crank the volume on the brushes I can barely hear you hittin the snares or cymbals.

But nice cover man, no doubt this is really creative.

[OnTheRoof1]

Thanks. the cymbals are pretty quiet.....

[MrYoutopia]

subbbeeeedddddd!

[annemiekie]

Brilliant.

[kertzey]

nice one dude..

[Pygmalion0116]

I didn't know drums can express such an emotion! Now I know I was wrong. You make this song really "Ocean"!

[derrynator]

this makes an already amazing song sound much more complete. Fantastic! :D

[n28b]

brilliant

[OnTheRoof1]

Thanks!

[StrategicCreative]

Beautiful job - for me it gave the song even more space.

Five stars!

[OnTheRoof1]

Thanks very much!

[kentokanazawa]

I didn't see the difference..probably because I don't know the original too well.

But having said that, it sounded really soothing..so you probably improved it ! good job

[demep]

Andy should hear this.... awsome dude !!!

[DanarothITA]

Very nice!

[llarmie]

Absolutely awesome! I wish there was a way I could get this version for my iPod.

[OnTheRoof1]

Thanks very much!

[manmanster]

bloody brilliant

[Lintriel]

as much as the original song made me seem lost and relaxed, this just rose it from an 11 to a 12

[OnTheRoof1]

thanks you very much.

[zeldakix2007]

WOW! THAT WAS GREAT! BRAVO!

[zlinkguza]

nice man...

the original song is very calming my soul...

I like both...

Nice improvise kid..

[fishyboyx1st]

great, when i clicked on this i expected loud banging on the snare and i was like oh way to kill a calm song, but i was totally wrong, great job

[leviathanz64]

god that song is calming as fuck....and i think you just made it better haha

[deansinghgill]

tasty lol

very well compiled and presented

as many other ppl have said

im glad u didnt go overboard with the drums like using the toms etc.

nice one

[togglenuts]

You play... I listen...

[RawkinOutt]

insane. I'm so glad that you didn't go over board. You didn't take anything from the song... And I think you might've actually added a little to it. Great job

[loveisthemovement07]

i went into this video thinking i really wouldn't like it, but i was wrong. the drums didn't take away from the song at all. Good work.

[MusicForTheSoul221]

Great job man.

[deagossttini]

Qué purete

[phase00x1]

In jazz, less is more. You hit that saying right on the nose man.

This is so tasteful I cant get enough of it

[dmanfromm]

Wonderful! I'm really glad you didn't overdo it like most of the Andy-Mckee-songs-with-drums-vi­deos

[OnTheRoof1]

Thanks very much!

[whubel]

much better than the other guy

[ChadA23]

awesome job man. u should try some cymbal roles

[jjamonit1]

dont be afraid to throw a few toms in there,, with brushes toms are and can be very dreative, added flavor,,nice work tho

[RareSnare]

Bravo...Perfect Approch to this music and song...just now dont hold back/be too timid. Now just smoke a fatty and imagine the creativity you can add, compliment, and have fun with (without taking away) make a new vid and post it

[OnTheRoof1]

LOL. thanks for the comment, but i think im gna leave it as it is. y dnt you have a go? it could be good if your extremely careful.

[thentherewas]

I was worried initially when I saw this title as I envisioned someone tampering with what was already brilliant, but you've done a great job with this. If the song has to be done in a version with percussion, this is how it should be done. Well done indeed.

[OnTheRoof1]

Thanks very much.

[ikh29]

wow so smooth..u did a great job..keep it up..cheers...

[OnTheRoof1]

Thanks.

[marcosme87]

Awesome men!! I've been listening to some other cover versions of andy's songs on drums, but this is the most amazing of all. I guess Andy would be very proud of you. Keep the good work. It really looks like it's meant to be like this..

[zop1o]

you have in no way shape or form killed this. i didnt know it could be made better, even though the line is so simple

[tzantzarul]

this is exactly the kind of drumming this song needed.

keep up the good work !

[drummerholla]

very dynamic man, check my version of this song

[ngr7000]

you are by far, the most sensitive drummer that have posted in youtube, and that understands Andy's music. Keep it up... knowing how to listen makes a much better person (and drummer)... Good luck! and keep it up.

[OnTheRoof1]

What a comment! Thank you very, very much.

Xavier

[jkshoujk]

I'll say right off the bat that I know nothing about drums, but;

You should tune your other drums (I think they're called toms or something like that?) to Andy's harp part of his guitar - that way, when he strums those strings, you can hit that tom in unison with his harp.

If that is possible of course xD

[OnTheRoof1]

That is a really great idea, i never would of thought of that. Next time i do an Andy Mckee song, if it's appropriate i'll give it a go. Thanks very much.

Xavier

[jkshoujk]

No problem! :D

[OnTheRoof1]

Yo, if anyones interested, i have just uploaded a vid of "Tight Trite Night" with drums. If anyone wants me to have a go at any other Andy Mckee stuff just let me know and ill see what i can do.

Cheers

Xavier

[DeZmoND676]

Try to do something with Rylynn

[smoothrigoletto]

nicely done

[nad0644]

Wow man , I mean , you can feel the emotion of the song and your drumming is perfect ! not too much just as it needs ... 5 stars man !

awesome ! :D

[OnTheRoof1]

Thanks very much, means alot. Im looking for another Mckee song to do, any suggestions?

Cheers

Xavier

[CosmicBalls]

Really nice, Its hard to write percussion to this style without overpowering it. I'll be looking for your next :)

[kidkawartha]

Roof-

It's a beautiful accompaniment. Flawless. Going to favorite this and see if you ever do the same for any of Michael Hedges favorites. :)

Keep it up!

[OnTheRoof1]

Thanks very much, it means alot. I hadnt heard of Michael Hedges before you said, he is amazing. if i do one of his songs ill drop you a message.

Cheers

Xavier

[imba1337haxx]

i LOVE it to be honest!=D

[spikybry]

quite good, I liked it. I know your trying to not overpower the song but its still pretty hard to hear the cymbols

[khasz01]

Nice!

[Thorreth]

Catchy stuff man, good addition to the song

[OnTheRoof1]

Thanks

[StoryOfTheYear2007]

I really like it ! :)

[OnTheRoof1]

Thanks Alot!
