[Nizzeh11]

[MultiJesusfreak97]

AWESOME DRUMMING!!!!!!

[Oooch]

this is terrible i hate you

[MusicBuch]

Nice job :)

[TheSmokinGypsy1]

Great drumming man!

[bajonjojonjo]

Very professional

[Drumbouke]

good job, try to flip your left hand 90° when playing snare, cos your doubles sound nervous and sloppy.

[VickyyyMoon]

Today I tryed to play this song too ... but it looked way different =(

You are a really great drummer!! =D

[BENPLUNGERSPLUNKETT]

Hey, how do u have ur mics positioned?? Where do u have the overheads etc?

[evenstevens280]

@BENPLUNGERSPLUNKETT There's only 1 overhead, and it's just out of the camera's shot, pointing down the centre of the kit. Snare and floor tom mics are pointed about 2 inches into the drum, about 2 inches away from the head, pointing towards the centre. Rack tom mics are underneath pointing towards the centre. Kick drum mic is inside the middle of the drum pointing towards the beater.

[BENPLUNGERSPLUNKETT]

@evenstevens280 Ok, I usually put 2 OH over the drum kit facing down; 15" from ur head, then mics on toms (LH top corner for 1st tom then RH top corner for 2nd tom & floor tom, clipped on prob 1 inch from TOP skins) snare is LH top corner bout 3" in from rim, 1" from top skin. Then kick drum mic is bottom LH corner about 7" up from bottom, 2" from skin. See if that helps, its only estimate measurements but see wat ya think.. =)

[tatislol]

Omg , ur amazing! :D

[TheOppelstrup]

Wow dude!!! Nice work ;-D

[monkeycheese1234]

[KlaudiaWorld]

Awesome :o <3 !!!

[sarahlavigne3]

Wow you're amazing!

[verdugo123menjin]

very good but i don;t like your cymbals..

[mensaman100]

You have interpreted this song well. The sound of your kit is excellent - it's well tuned and your high hat technique is very fluid. I've listened to your other songs but this is the pick of the bunch. The acoustics of the room you recorded this in really augments your sound. I hope you are in a band - great talent like yours needs to be challenged so that it grows.

[siwonbeat09]

dude how did you put the original music and your drum sounds in a video? i've been hesitating to ask this...

[robinsd4]

As good as Nate ! Great job. Very relaxed style

[Libipower]

well done ^^

[DivineScopes]

pretty boss,keep it up

[conory]

Great Job, absolutely Brilliant! :)

[noddyelite]

Am i the only one that thinks Cobus should do a cover of this? That was, to put it simply, Perfect :D

[ParkiieHD]

nicee love this song! Just a tip, you should check out the remo powerstroke 3! It gives the drums a much tighter sound! Like your snare ghosts BTW Great drum cover but check em out ^^

[AlphaCentauri00]

Nice Hi-Hat work there man

[Libipower]

good job [:

[mileyandashley9788]

Daaaang. I love this! I play snare in band and i want a drum set soooo bad! :) My brother's friend is gonna help me more. I am 12 in 6th grade. IN LOVE WITH DRUMS.♥ this is awesome! :D

[2ne1korenay]

[Daniellestwin6912]

[Gurkan231]

[iDaniel1996]

[Gambit1984]

[holeinmybrain0]

[drumevolution]

good job!

[khelsaki]

nice drumming its so clean.. what crash are u using?

[evenstevens280]

@khelsaki Ones a Paiste alpha 17 rock crash, the other is a Paiste PST3 15 crash. Need to upgrade that one at some point...

[TomWrightTheDrummer]

Very nice, which mics do you use? cheers.

[evenstevens280]

@TomWrightTheDrummer Stuff like that is in the information of the video

[CanadianHero789]

Drums seem hard on this

[stix4Him]

Very nice job! You really kept it smooth and interesting. Nice!

Making me wanna buy a Catalina Ash!

[TheCatBoyWonder97]

nice beat

[OwenJacksonDrums]

Hey man, the drummer on this record is my tutor, Andy Nixon, he has showed us the parts to this in class (Brighton Institute of Modern Music) and you did good man :)

Owen

[Mister73C]

What drum is that

[ClickOnPez]

i think the kick needs more lows, but either way good job, oh and the reverb on the snare has a little predelay, take that off

[JanniFav]

i think a little less overhead sound would be nice, the cymbals are a bit too present in some parts ;)

[MatteoRipa1]

Amo questa canzone!!! Forse solo la batteria aveva il volume troppo alto :) complimenti comunque :)

[lorg4]

THATS THE SHIT MAN!!!! THAT WAS AMAZING XD

i dont really talk like that...bt seriously that was awesome!!!

[Laxdude339]

great cover man!! you might want to try to mess with compression, it coulod do wonders for the sounds!

[SCARFACEISLORDPYLOX]

dude what is your drum set?

[HondAudio]

One of the best drum covers I've seen. No improvisation, no funny business, just a straight play-along, and the equalization is really, really good. A++++ would watch again lol :)

[joanne2510]

utube has everything!

this is awsome man!;)

[michgee]

You rock!

[highlightmaterial]

the drummer who plays this track in the rec0rding album was DENNIS CHAMBERS!! btw this is the accurate 0ne in terms 0f hi-hats playing!!g00d j0b!! finally!! it t00k me t0 watch several vide0 results b4 i watch this!!!

[LosAnJulien]

@highlightmaterial

Drummer is Andy Nixon according to wikipedia US, though french wikipedia lists Abe Laboriel Jr. which I've read somewhere else too. Definitely not Dennis Chambers, that's not his sound and style of playing.

[LosAnJulien]

And your info is coming from where? Not that I don't believe you but I really doubt it's Dennis Chambers and Wikipedia (twice) seem to concur with the fact that it's not him. I'll try to find the 3rd source that gives Abe Laboriel Jr. as being the drummer for this track.

[KeepJamen]

nice man! love the sound of your drums.

[loejewis]

Souuund! Very tight. Cymbals a bit much at times but no biggy.

Really like it.

[TrincadoJavier]

nice and clean

[excelnever]

please.. do a cover of this song by the vanilla sky??

nice cover..

[looneyballa128]

you should definititly do more covers, wow I cant believe how great you are at drums! Keep up the awesome work dude

[wynand88]

Wow that was awesome..... Excellent work, keep on going strong.

[MsKillaBlue8]

dude that was awesomeeeeeeeeeeeee! teach me!

[FloufTH]

good job man !

[borihazard]

good job. love it

[limamianas]

Very good JOB !!!!

I think that less bass on your snare will be better ;)

[evenstevens280]

LESS bass? I EQ'd pretty much all the bass out of it. :P

[FailedEmpathy]

@evenstevens280 your snare does sound hollow, but it doesn't need less bass it needs a tiny bit more with a mild EQ tweak put in at its upper mid range.

the way the light caught your arms in the video was very cool, added a very nice effect (reminds me of steve reichs piano phase video,)

anyway really good cover. A*

[RareAirSupply]

@evenstevens280 tune you snare higer

[darren25joson]

very nice,keep doing it.

[bLaCkNiGhT1702]

nice cover...

love the fills...

[hollmaurice]

lovely tight playing

[YMSAltrincham]

Love the cover mate, been attempting to play along to that track on my kit but cant make it sound near as good as you.

Keep Playing!

[evenstevens280]

Cheers for the nice words ^_^

[mjbytd]

nice feel man!

pop backbeat tunes definately are fun to play along to.

[gazadrum]

ur hi hats sound amazing

[evenstevens280]

Cheers. They're only 12" but sound amazing. Really tight.

[ftballmichael]

[sam13275]

[fallofautumndistro]

Great job yet again. Are you in a band? Or just play as a hobby?

[evenstevens280]

Not really in a band. I jam with friends from time to time, but it's mostly just a hobby.

[jonasfanandreanicole]
