Nice one man... this is by far the most difficult Nirvana song to play on the drums... It's much harder than it looks or even sounds. It's the intencity that;s required in order to play it. the trick is to come out of the snare flam and right into the bass semi quavers and keep in time... and then you have to keep the consitency on the bass right through the pre-chorus.. also the changing paterns through the chorus can be really confusing. YOU'VE NAILED IT man... nice one!
@SteveRenouf93 I hear ya man. I've been trying to play this song for months and I just can't get my foot to be consistent and accurate. IMO, the hardest part is keeping those sixteenth notes steady and powerful on the bass when you're playing the ride bell. It really bums me out cause I can play the song almost perfectly at a slightly slower speed than the original recording! It blows my mind to think Dave played it even faster live.
@ManInTheBox22 - yeah totally. it's the intensity of the song that makes it more difficult than anything. The Muddy Banks version is unreal! Dave Grohl's drumming on that is superb.
@SteveRenouf93 Yeah, I love that version of it. It's funny to think that this song would be easy as pie with a double pedal. However, not only would it not sound the same but you wouldn't do Dave justice. :D

Dude, you are fucking sick seriously. Your Cymbals are splashy as hell, your Hi-Hat is flawlessly crispy, your Toms are on fire and your playing style is off the hizzay! You've got tons of talent brother, stick at it, certainly deserved my sub, 10/10.. FUCK!
well, what i mean is that their not really necessary unless your playing death metal shit which is crap anyway so you wouldnt want to play it. you can get just as much speed on a single pedal if you practice hard enough
I neither hope that you're not a drummer nor ever become one. Drummer enjoys playing every tom and cymbal he/she can get, sure everyone have their preferences but saying something like that...that's just stupid. Double bass makes no-one better, but it also doesn't make them 'bitches', it just gives them more experience. Drummer is not a master when he can play DB well, but drummer can be a master of DB, with just a little more experience than others, not better than them.
DUDE THAT WAS SICK! It sounded perfect to me, but I don't play drums lol! I just recently learned how to play this on guitar and scream it! Keep it up!
Suena super bien, la introduntion de la bateria es muy adicta, esta es una de mis favoritas de nirvana. Cress que pudes tocar Aneurysm? Siempre trado de entender a que pegarle en esa cancion pero creo que es un poco complicado. Sigue dandole fuerte
you have got to post some tabs because in the verse there are never any bass drum tabs. i can always here it when i listen to the song tho and since i can't play it like you can i've made up my own version of the bass drum in the verse. anyways, this is probably the best cover i've heard and i like how you show everything you're doing, it's helped me alot
Good job dude. I grew up teaching this song to kids in my drum class at my arts school... YOu don't do it perfect but you do it justice. I'd have you as my drummer any day. I love your doubles on the bass drum too... You remind me of how I play a lot actually. If you're from ohio we should start a band. I play guitar more now. I'm putting together a real grunge band. Not a four chord grunge band.. A real loud noisy punk as fuck indie rock as fuck grunge band.
if your tuning the toms, tune the bottom and top heads at the same pitch, air will move better. for the kick drum i suggest watching a bob gatzen bass drum tuning video. for the snare i just crank the two heads up and i get an amazing pop. peace, hope this helps = )
this is gonna be the first song i **attempt** to learn wen i get my drum set..... ima get a double bass to play at first but ima try at learn it the original way after about a week or two....
yea nice job man, me and my band covered this song and we stretched it out for 12 minutes with 2 guitar solos and drum solo and even a bass solo at some point unfortunately cracked my crash good thing got the band shared account ha
i know, but ive seen a lot of people using a double pedal when playing this song, it just makes it a ton easier. hence my kudos to xevi for playing it the original way. i wonder if he could play the "live and loud" version. is faster and it kicks ass. excellent work xevi, keep it up!
