[KoolSpeed]

[MetalRockManiac]

Dude this was a good cover the perfect song to head bang to while playing the drums

[dontbelikethatyo]

[RhythmHappy]

you're more focused on showing off than playing and it annoyed me a lot

[ChimPiZGaY]

GEEZUS! Now I wish I was as good as you.. any tips as to how you got so fucking sick?

[Youchubedude]

@ChimPiZGaY Thanks for the cool words, means a lot ;) As far as tips, I suck so I shoudnt be giving advice, but practicing routines tailored for you should do wonders! It's helped me a ton :D

[alecdawg11]

[pinheadpizza]

[rocknrollchild20]

wow. that was insane. amazing job on that dude! keep playing them drums :)

[AudioLoveOfficiall]

You're really good. I haven't listened to your bands music because I'm writing this as I'm watching the videos right now, but if rest of the members in your band are as talented and as good as you I already know you're an excellent band.

[jiraiyaaoki]

Cool cover braahhh..the best drum cover I've seen..

[cfcamdaman47]

Lovin the stick flips, bro.

[froggyoathwearsprada]

You know it's a good video when the fucking singer of the band comments on it

[XIDEMONIX425]

The stick twirling was starting to piss me off lmfao

[hokage345]

Fucking speechless, outstanding job.

[ShadowOfFate]

Dude your china is epic! What type is it?

[Youchubedude]

@ShadowOfFate

Glad you asked! Saluda 20" M Loco china. BEAST of a cymbal

[nickwantsmorepancake]

All the little twirls and flips are really annoying.

Good cover though.

[woahfaggot]

your band is mad good. and you drumming is outstanding kid. much respect=)

[Youchubedude]

@woahfaggot

I feeel like crying ;) Tears of joy!!! Thank you SO much!!!!!!! take care =)

[surfdingo22]

All the stick flipping is really irritating, drumming was sick but you just look arrogant with all the stick tricks

[silentar0wz]

SO YOU THINK!! YOU'RE SAFE NOW!!! WELL THINK AGAIN!! i probably wouldn't with your stick flying around like that though. jks id probably die of excess awsomeness before the sticks touched me

[kyleoconnor2]

bro youre a fuckin monster!

[SaviorSelf92]

The Word Alive knows who to go to when they need a new drummer:) this vid was epic, could turn the song volume up a lil but its still pretty radd :]]

[Youchubedude]

@SaviorSelf92

Ahaha I don't know about THAT! Thanks for the nice comments, and I totally feel ya on the volume issue, sorry =(

[SaviorSelf92]

@Youchubedude Its all good, still a good drum cover :D

[telletwa]

no problem man, again, good job :)

[MrMagicA7X]

ASIAN!

[Youchubedude]

@MrMagicA7X

Aha well, people debate whether we're pacific islander or asian. As for random ethnicities in all caps w/ a "!", my friend is SWEDISH! He's awesome and is also a magician like you MrMagicA7X

[MarkTheDead]

Who the hell dislikes this video?

This kid is crazy!

I love TWA by the way!

Deceiver was my favorite album of this year, or one of them

[Youchubedude]

@MarkTheDead

Haha as Luke holland would say, it was probably Tony A., hahahaha LOL!! jk jk. Glad you dig the vid though =)

[ganyadus]

Your china sounds like a LAZAARR!! i love it i wish you would just hit it non stop haha

[infinityendsHERE]

holy fuck cover all of TWA's songs kthx

[1337bakon]

Oh, also. Im just gonna go ahead and say this.... You would probly be an amazing chef at Mongolian BBQ

[1337bakon]

DAMN, sick cover dude!

[XxXfaulknerXxX]

Kick ass at drumming and you can flip your sticks 100 times without dropping it :O

You're a fuckin beast!

[Youchubedude]

@XxXfaulknerXxX

XxXYOU are the beastXxX Ahaha thanks for the kind words brotha! And I drop sticks like there's no tomorrow ;) Preferably, I like to drop them on my vocalist's head =)

[XxXfaulknerXxX]

@Youchubedude Lol I had to wait 3 minutes and 57 seconds to write a comment cause I couldn't interrupt my ears while they were having sex xD

[billySFTC]

You sir are truly talented.

[PeterxControl]

show off more

[wowautumn1000]

Holyyyyyy shitttt... <3

[xmstunx]

they should have gotten you to replace tony A instead.........

[Youchubedude]

@xmstunx

Shush it! Jus kidding =) Hahaha Justin is awesome! He's WAY better than me, and I could only play like two TWA songs hahaha. Plus, Justin hits so hard he probably breaks wood faster than lumberjacks ahaha

[telletwa]

Coolest drum cover I've seen yet for our band, thanks dude for listening and taking the time to do this :) -Telle

[Youchubedude]

@telletwa

@telletwa

Muhaha! Having you and Justin comment and seeing this is sooooo flattering =) I hope the other guys dig it as much as you and Justin do. No TWA, WCAR, and TIJ in SF for the Rock Yourself to Sleep Tour makes me sad ;( Hahaha but Thanks Telle! Take care man and best wishes

[repentorperish17]

@telletwa dude, you ripped it up last night at the newport!

[REPTAR863]

I'm digging that Kelly Clarkson poster bro.

[Youchubedude]

@REPTAR863

Definitely my inspiration for heaviness! Ahaha you should see the the other random things on that wall. Why does everyone like the poster but not the giraffe right next to it ;)

[edumanu94]

shiiit bro you play so epic that even justin took time to see/ comment on the vid. and man i agree with him u should do epiphany :D

[Youchubedude]

@edumanu94

Hehehe thank you! I've been so busy lately; I want to post some new covers soooooooooo bad =( My homie's epiphany vid is sick though-MissingPeaceMusic. That song is too beastly for me to learn =) Ahahaha

[repentorperish17]

What's the intro song?

[Youchubedude]

@repentorperish17

When Eyes Speak Treason - And The Sky Was Painted Eleven

On myspace, facebook, youtube etc. =)

[XxStr8paintballerXx]

the drum sticks were either on the drums or doing crazy flips.........

[Lunyro]

Awesome :D a little off at some points but good job!

[mask8412]

holy mother of all gods...

[marybob321]

HOLY SHIT

[Youchubedude]

@marybob321

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

[Heezzay]

Are you god?

[Youchubedude]

@Heezzay

hahaha who flagged this as spam?! It's like the first time I've ever been asked to this, but no I am not. Sorry to dissapoint haha!

[studpickle]

HAHAHAHAHA Your china sounds like some Power Ranger toy sound effect xDDDDDD

[NocturneGFX]

As far as accuracy goes, you were a little sloppy at parts, but again Tony does some really fast 24th kicks, I wouldn't expect anyone to nail those perfectly, but you kept up well and never skipped a beat. I will say however your energy and tricks added lots of flair to your performance, which made this cover way above par. 6/5 if i could.

Good job dude. Those stick tricks would set off any show.

[Youchubedude]

@NocturneGFX

I LOVE comments like yours! Long, and criticizing in a positive way. Awesome, thanks and glad you like it =) And yes, the tricks and energy seem to make me messy and sloppy at times, but it's just so natural and fun ya know? Have a good one!

[AmbitiousMOnkey1100]

@Youchubedude damn!!!! dude that was amazing, all you need are mics and you'll be famous. those stick tricks can make people get off beat, but you were good. Great Showmanship!!!! keep making covers

[Youchubedude]

@AmbitiousMOnkey1100

Thanks for feedback and advice! And no problamo =)

[lukin6t9]

this sounds pretty bad but it lloks like you did quite a sick job just save up money for some mics

[Youchubedude]

@lukin6t9

Thanks for checking out the vid. By sounding bad, do you mean that it sounded out of sync, or that the quality of the drums sounded bad?

[lukin6t9]

@Youchubedude the quality of the recording

[MetalAddict345]

Like the little spinny things you do with the sticks. It could just be for show, but it kinda looks like it helps with the nibleness you need for the song in your arms, no homo intended lol

[Youchubedude]

@MetalAddict345

Hahaha sticks are just plain out FUN! Makes drumming that much more awesome. Maybe one day I could be as built as Andols from chimaira lol. Glad you enjoyed the video

[fivehourfriday]

your set sucks...

[Youchubedude]

@fivehourfriday

Hahahaha! Well that's your opinion. Everything is extremely muffled so maybe that has to do with it, and my camera has horrible audio as well -_- Are you talking about the appearance?

[fivehourfriday]

@Youchubedude no no no, it's probably just the quality.

[Youchubedude]

@fivehourfriday

Hahahaha yes, don't you hate how the sound quality is on youtube? I mean right when you upload a video, quality just goes down the drain

[Youchubedude]

@RobbieeSkates Haha!!

@iThUmPeRiiBlemo I'll try ;)

@Sobocoper Justin has seen this, his comment was the second one, i think

@CalvinBauerTAA , OurDivide, limitedturtle, iThUmPeRiiBlemo Thank you

EVERYONE! I try to read and respond to everyone's comment, but youtube never updates me with every single one. Again, thanks for your opinions!

[Sobocoper]

HAs the word alive seen this lol or tony aguilera

[Youchubedude]

@Sobocoper

Justin seen it, but it would be even cooler if Tony A saw this, I'd love to know his thoughts!

[Youchubedude]

@Youchubedude

I meant to say "but it would be even cooler if Tony A saw this too" haha I have so much respect for both of em

[OurDivide]

reminded me of Adam Gray there man. Really solid cover... that double kick near the beginning is intense. Props!

[Youchubedude]

@OurDivide

Adam Gray is the MAN, definitely a major influence. thanks!

[limitedturtle]

Youchubedude + drums = rape

[Youchubedude]

@limitedturtle

Hahaha cool! thanks for checking out the vid

[iThUmPeRiiBlemo]

DUDE fucking Justin commented this vid :D Do as he says!

[CalvinBauerTAA]

0:50 best double bass in the song, and you pulled it off really well. Nice job.

[Youchubedude]

To the comments from users I missed or haven't responded to, thanks for the feedback!

[mesemene]

so cute ^_^

[Youchubedude]

@mesemene

Hahaha I hope that's not sarcasm, hopefully it's a compliment! ;] Hahaha cuz a lot of my old videos had sarcasm-filled hater comments. Thanks!

[ItalianDrummer09]

Very intense. Nice job hope too see more in the future!

[Youchubedude]

@ItalianDrummer09

Thank you, you got nice covers too man!

[ItalianDrummer09]

@Youchubedude thank you

[toolbiscuit]

i personally enjoyed the stick tricks. makes it more interesting.

[Youchubedude]

@toolbiscuit

I think the same way!

[mattheweble]

i love all their songs :]

but if you want a harder song you should do epiphany!!!

i would love to hear you cover that :DDD

[Youchubedude]

@mattheweble

Yeah Justin asked me to do that song too! It'll probably take me a long time, I'm not that good =( But "MissingPeaceMusic"'s cover is sick too! He does both Epiphany and Anubis =)

[mattheweble]

[SpaSpaSpaz]

SWEET JESUS. perfect! :D

[Youchubedude]

@SpaSpaSpaz

[xXBiggi3Xx]

[666drummer4]

It was a great cover just stop with the stick tricks it's a cover!

[ianmassacre]

holy shit bro haha, amazing

[Feuyaer]

Hahaha. Awesome. I usually thumbs-down drum covers because it's usually some generic tool doing them. But this was the least-pretentious one I've seen yet. And yes, THE FLIPPING ACTION WILL KILL US ALL.

[Youchubedude]

@Feuyaer

Yeah I know what you mean about those people man! I ain't pretending with the tricks though, I'm so use to it now ya know. Thanks!

[freetweak]
