Fitz and The Tantrums - Don't Gotta Work It Out

[wicksjm]

Hey bro, it's John Wicks from Fitz & The Tantrums. You sound great! It's flattering to have folks playing along with the record, especially good players like yourself. All the best to you and yours. Rock it...Wicks

[Furmanfee]

i normally hate when starving musicians cover/play on top of original artists... but i gotta say, this is pretty bad ass.

[bigswagish]

aye bo did you use the real sound of the hi-hats?

[bigswagish]

he had so much fun at the end and during the song u can tell

[jrcr1]

[climz1989]

[bizzlekizzy]

love the end

[jonathanchiller99]

Soooooooooooooo Geil

[musikdrummerjo]

HAMMER 

[enjoichoclate5]

Okay, I don't see anything wrong with the sound i could never tell your equipment was cheap and the question is why aren't you as big as Cobus and Chaserrr and Ricky Ficarelli? you just as good as them I don't understand why you're so under rated.

[climz1989]

@enjoichoclate5 not as much sex appeal

[pugs321]

DO MONEYGRABBER

[jonathanchiller99]

geil so hammer

[socaldgafbro]

Whatsup brother?! Hows life treating you in those parts? Been a while let me know how you been bro! Good cover!

[ovvlman]

Офигенно звучит!

[DJFMasters3]

did I mention how after watching yours and Meytal's Vids'.. I'm seriously considering replacing EVERY cymbal I have with Soultones? they sound INCREDIBLE RAW! they don't sound like pieces of brass, they sound like cymbals. nice

[DJFMasters3]

I actualy ENJOY the clipping... it means you're not covering up the "RAW" ness with a bunch of "studio" effects. ALSO it's not a live performance, nor is it on an album. it works for youtube WELL IMO. NICE I like the fact you don't have this huge-ass kit with a millions toms and 50+ cymbals. you have ONLY what you use and GREAT dynamics. NICE dude. I enjoy your vids for all these reasons, especially after playing drums for 28 years myself. Peace.

[drumgroovy]

OR... OR... a song called Filth In The Beauty by a band called The Gazette... for something more uptempo and groovy :D

[drumgroovy]

Dude, after watching you for awhile, I reckon you might like the drum style of a certain Japanese band called Dir En Grey. You should do a cover of a song called Lotus. Amazing song.

[shortybest1]

you are the best

[SportsAreGreat11]

3:31 wow

[pugman42128]

/proud subscriber :)

[LEDZEPPEL1N88]

really enjoyed this one.. as i do all your covers. great work!

[Rossdrum97]

1:09! unexpected, but awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[xmBill1]

I don't know how you do it. I guess with your AWEsome drumming, you make me even like the music your playing. Keep it up!

[hollowman678]

@dknow6 awesome drumming man! Really digging some of your fills. I was curious what type of splash cymbals those are above your high tom? They sound wicked.

[zamoragera13]

Damn !

cover some metronomy

[mogo2564]

this was so good!!!!!!!!!! you're great!

[BigD835042]

i wonder why he kept playing after the music stopped......oh! wait! he wanted to go out with a bang! :D great drumming as always

[triplej89]

wow, one of ur best! and at the least, one of my favorites!

[DrumDougDrum]

the toms sound really bad for some reason >.> but it was awsome drumming as always

[TheHokkaidogaijin]

please mic's

[dknow6]

@TheHokkaidogaijin FYI I use Sennheiser Mics, a Behringer mixer and compresser.

[gamer0212]

@dknow6 where do u get the music without the drums?(i want to know because im also a drummer)

[gaktasa]

@gamer0212 he doesnt, i think he doesnt anyway, or he A. uses ticks, like a metronome, with special sounds to say here he is,etc. or B. just plays along to the music.

[gamer0212]

@gaktasa ok i guess so thnks :-)

[Clancedrums]

@dknow6 hey dean,

I guess you can work on your mix. It starts to get clipped.

maybe have a little less overheads, and a little more low frequency on the toms, and less high frequency on the kick...

great job as usual! :)

[dknow6]

@Clancedrums I so appreciate the input. I am a broke musician and dont have the money for high quality gear. I do everything old school and use mics, a mixer and a compresser thats it so it does sound raw, I need all the input I can get so thank u for the kind words and advice!

[Clancedrums]

@dknow6 no problem... were in the same situation here!

[vmac65]

@dknow6 for the record, no amount of "high quality gear" can make up for lack of proficiency. You have got the technical aspect of drumming down my brotha!

Excellent job with every cover I've seen/heard you play. Keep it going and doors will open for talent like this.

[gamer0212]

@dknow6 hey dean, i think most of the people watching want to know what kind of music do you use, with or without drums. can you tell us what kind you use and if its without, where you get it?

[TheHokkaidogaijin]

@dknow6 can't hear it on the Youtube video. I love your drumming but just want to hear a better audio quality. Like this watch?v=Nrvbya4szHQ&context=C3­d41a48ADOEgsToPDskIjUWzm4xKGto­LcM0o5P6hC

[LEDZEPPEL1N88]

@TheHokkaidogaijin please get better headphones

[RCDrums3]

what kind of video cam do u use

[PTKilowatt]

I was wondering when Fitz and the Tantrums would end up in your wheelhouse, seemed up your alley.

Kinda surprised it wasn't Money Grabber, but still a great choice for drummers such as yourself.

[gangsterelmoman]

dude have you been offfered any sponsorships?

[DudeThatDrums]

@gangsterelmoman He's sponsered by Promark, Evans, Soultone and Protection Racket. :P

[FavidDoster]
