viscera eyes the mars volta drums

[MrIFlingPoo]

You are still my favorite in my top 3 favorite YouTube drummers even after a few years. Your skill is undeniable. I like that you add a piece of your style to your drumming and are not just a beat machine - If I wanted to hear it played exactly, I'd go grab the CD and listen to Jon. I like what you've added to this in your cover and I hope you keep it up.

[jimmymac240]

Overplayed... But good. You're hitting the china too much just to let you know. He does nt hit it thqt much. Go back and listen hard you'll hear he dosnt hit the china that much.

[1nnervision]

@jimmymac240 weird... i don't see any of your drumming videos. now gtfo you arm chair expert.

[DKoMaa]

Damn Right. Been playin on this beat for a while too, and could never get the china part down.

[andresgiovanelliarg]

y ahora un cumplido en castellano... baterista de la puta madre!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[andresgiovanelliarg]

DEFINETLY YOU'RE IN THE LIST OF TOP DRUMMERS OF YOUTUBE

[fob199]

ridiculously sick cover man. Great job in the groove at 5:18, so hard.

[elporto]

when I got to the coda your playing style really reminded me of one of those days when you start jamming on the kit and for whatever reason you're just out of control and totally shit hot. very cool man, you really complimented the rhythm.

[ridlenturtle]

Ive been watching this since the day you posted it. Lots of these views are mine.

[ninjafriki]

uau, vaya puta máquina!!!

[hahabunny]

mad props brother u have mad skillz

[raydenovo]

great performance!

[Bunny456]

Fuck yeah dude, the condition of your snare drum head says it all. You've spent a little time behind that kit. Nicely done. 

[mikethedrumaniac]

What's in that stack, dude? It sounds awesome!!!

[sgtpeppero]

now a fucking DRUMMER that can actually feel the damn Mars Volta song!

[iclipseco]

that was fuckin killer man!

[nicopercutin]

weeeeeena waton culiaoo!!!!

sorry man I had to congrat you in my native leanguage, that's just the feelling of this song. Awesome work!!

[jtarud68]

@nicopercutin jajajajajajajajajajajaja

[CrystalTrees5mcs]

OMFG at 4:49 right after the stick twirl its so fuking ON! your on fire man!!! holy fuck, i dont understand... how u can even remember the whole song! gotta be one of the best songs the mars volta has ever made. Pridgeon plays exactly like Jon, except at a different tempo, but basically i see the same technique with the right/left ride/snare intricacies that make me quiver.

[ichisound]

nice man...

thomas got style man!

[Bonnaroo10klmf]

haha your facial expressions are intense. Either way, awesome song. Your cover definitely did it justice

[TheCosmeable]

YoOoOooO!!! Spot-on!! This nerd ain't ntn to FUCK with!!! X-D

[Grania72]

well played, nice

[Red9nine]

YOU ARE AMAZING!!!!!!!

[TitsMcGee1804]

anyone got a live vid of this song with theo instead of pridgen? toms good at playing the song but theo has so much soul behind the beat and i dont get that with all the vids with thomas on youtube

[magicbag6790]

@TitsMcGee1804 there is a recent video like 08' of prigden doin this song w/ Mars Volta for a select audience. check it out

[TheMtc123]

nice i love that song... but why are playing wirh backside drum stick

[hunterthompsonfear]

Awesome, makes me want to learn drums!

[rockboytyler]

I like this video so much that I've downloaded the converted MP3, good job Javo!

[phoenix02200]

You play with the drum sticks backwards?

[birchofacookie]

@phoenix02200 Some people do, it creats different sounds than if they use the bead, also some sticks come like that, like timbale sticks.

[YaHozna1]

@phoenix02200 Dave Grohl did that in Nirvana btw, just a different sound/balance up to the individual drummer.

Good job with the cover javo.

[pearljam227]

sorry for sounding like a dumbass, but whats the name of the 2 cymbals on top of each other? (not the hi hats)

theyre on the left side of the kit (from the cameras POV)

[vincentf1105]

fuckin great job man

keep em comin

[antyclub]

!!!WOW

[nosensemesmo]

casa comigo muchacho

oieaoiaoie

[racsoB8]

you play amazing!

[xo4ty]

eggcellent job dude, keep rockin

[Ddrummer1103]

nice playing, but i would highly recommend new heads.

[86YourLife]

At 1:99-2:03 you got sloppy with the fill. Your feet may be able to keep up, work on the hands.

[Schmalven]

@86YourLife i dont think he has to work on his hands. i mean of course he has to do like everyone, but this fill isnt an example for this, he just made this triplet fill gets to fast made 1 hit to much to get the 3 and didnt get the 3. MAYBE this could be reason to work on timing, but its not a hand technique problem. thats what i think

[Theblob516]

@86YourLife there is no such time as 1:99, I think you were going for 1:59. 60 seconds are in a minute

[xoangela12xo]

hell noo ..pridgen is way more talented and has a better rhythm than theodore..thats my oppinion !! i cant believe pridgen left the banndd ughh life sucks noww ,,haha

[xoangela12xo]

yeahh keep doin the volta covers their sick as hell !! tmv for life mann !!

[rafakaren07]

Soberbio!!!

[simplyaZn]

Pridgen has a more trippy style. Theodore tends to have very interesting beats and rythyms. Both get an A+ in my book.

[bodyandsol2]

Nicely done. Your wax simulacra kills too. Keep doing those Volta covers.

[Bunny456]

Fuck yes dude.

[ramadrum]

Jon Thodore was the drummer for that song, not Pridgen

[hectorcancino]

Pridgen CANT play any Theodore masterpiece, he`s just a noisy "drummer"

Jon did an amazing job there.

[vicprobey]

Theodore left after the band started to suck.

[winnerbaby44]

i hope you die NOW

[hectorcancino]

no Im gonna be just fine.

[sp33dstr3am]

yeah i totally agree with you Theodore had way more rhythm and knew his music... pridgen although very talented is just to into using every drum for noise rather than technique and rhythm which is what creates MUSIC. So i'll give you a thumbs up...

[ronan182]

Brilliant. Well done. You're one of the very few drummers out there who can master a great Thomas Pridgen groove :) Keep it up, and post more covers!

[StonedFetus]

Amputechture was before Pridgen ronan, this is Theodore.

[ronan182]

Oops, my bad! Cheers for correcting my schoolboy errors (:

[JOKERH4H4]

Hahahaha.........

[Chingeesoraus]

this right here! is when you know they have been a fan since bedlam lol.

lol volta rookies

[felipe0801]

hell yea man that was good!

[ketsu12]

What program u used to this?

I want record my drum cover too, but dont know how to paste music.

[pollymatication]

its good to experiment and add some of your own style to it but prioritise the groove.

some of the fills take you out of time slightly.

[takeabow4444]

Good stuff, you look like you enjoy yourself.

[temetoeldedo]

snare drum sound like shit!!

[StonedFetus]

it really really really does. look at the skin. it is obviously in need of replacing haha

[AlDelu0x]

good job man!

[takingbackgatsby]

you're fucking awesome bro!

keep it up!

[NoServiceOnSundays]

yo! you're awsome!!...great choice of song aswell.

[Amputecht1]

INCREDIBLE

gran trabajo!

[frusciante70]

Niiiiice

[rockboytyler]

I can't stop watching this, I love the timing!

[togashidagoru]

In my opinion you play with an not necessari strengh that makes that u wont resist a whole concert, but after of all u have make a nice version of the song, congratulations!

[pdp420]

some people have that man. look at pridgen himself (mars voltas drummer) plays with such intensity and he plays 3 hour shows with no problem.

[BeyondCroNus]

whatta bEAST!!! lol

[floridacajun2]

fucking sweet dude.

[JacquoJones]

It's a good song, don't need to add to it. You're good, stop trying to prove yourself.

[smellsserious]

its funny that you got hung up on someone's achievement.

[daviddmo]

hahaha what an idiot

[cmoon263]

is that backing track with or without drums??

[homergonerson]

fucking sweet man, congrats on keeping that timing right through the whole thing

[Killick2]

sounding damn good man are you following the bass drum part exactly with your right hand part?

[DrummerDude5416]

Awesome we should play together.

[1212W1212W]

Amazing. Thank you.

[rockboytyler]

[jonathanpezman]

[stunnaonflyrims]

THE MARS VOLTA is the band he is playing along to...his band is Javodisforia!...He is just doing a cover of one of there songs. Check his page for more vids of his band live.

[catlevitator]

[stunnaonflyrims]

Jon and Thomas are both insane drummers...why compare 2 greats when the music speaks for itself...The Mars Volta is one of the best bands if not the best live band in the world is the main point! 100/10!

[booyakabee]

i really enjoyed watching you kick it. awesome work.

[xecutioner101]

[Ezezieal]

[javodisforia]

search for this:

take the veil with audio track

thats my try at take the veil

[JimmyBones111]

they should have chosen you as their new drummer. i went to their gig last year and the drummer ruined the epic `exo-skeletal junction at the railroad..` in Roulette Dares by making it about 40 steps faster. i was distraught.

[themarsvoltabest]

OMFG, dude that chorus was nuts, the chops you did towards the end........omggggggggg

amazing man

[agleim]

holy shit.  this is rad

[sorum88]

great job man...you play like a beast...just like me

[TrippyLantern]

I'm lovin' the stack, just like Jon. What do you have on there? I wanna add one to my kit

[clarkcu00]

FUUUUUUCKKKK YEAH dude .... shit ... damn that was good ...

[manstis1804]

It was almost perfect and you brought a lot of energy to it that most of these youtube drum videos just don't have. I like how you played Theodore's beat at the end but went crazy all over it like Thomas Pridgen, good work man.

[bassmasta226]

perfect in the chorus.
