The Red Hot Chili Peppers - By The Way (Drum cover) (for Annie B)

[aertru]

good cover but the part of the intro is side stroke and hit in this way is faster

(sorry if I do not understand very well is that I'm from mexico and not well how to explain)

[rhythmantic]

@aertru Gracias, si, I know the sidestick is played in the verses but I didn't want to play it that way, I prefer the sound of the snare rimshot. What you are bringing up is what is known as a "non-essential" - something that doesn't make or break the groove or feel of the song. Good to hear from Mexico, I understood your point and I admire anyone who can communicate in a language other than their native one. Gracias, appreciate you checking out the video.

[Daniel041188]

he simply experience

[MrZoneme]

easily the most impressive cover artist on youtube! respect

[rhythmantic]

@MrZoneme Gosh, "Cover Artist", I like that. Thanks I appreciate your comment and for watching this video.

[MrZoneme]

@rhythmantic any chance of doing some more chili's?

[rhythmantic]

@MrZoneme Perhaps Under The Bridge, but I don't know when, I'm working on some more covers of Hendrix and also recording some tracks for an album, so don't know when I'll get to it.

[MrZoneme]

@rhythmantic ahh under the bridge is so much fun to play, I hope you get a chance to post it! And I totally agree with you that Chad Smith is awesome to play along to; not too technically difficult, but his groove is amazing!

[rhythmantic]

@MrZoneme Yea!

[RobertoFilisola1]

nice cover, ten for you man!

[rhythmantic]

@RobertoFilisola1 Thanks.

[produccionesjuanS]

Te best cover!

[rhythmantic]

@produccionesjuanS Thanks

[imcomingup1]

Snare sounds great, really meaty! Are you able to rim click on that kit? Just interested as its rim clicks in the intro and you played snare

[rhythmantic]

@imcomingup1 Thanks. Yes, I could've assigned a sidestick sample to trigger the rim of the snare, but I like the sound of the snare better.

[67scarred]

can u do A DRUM COVER OF ( I MISS YOU ) BY BLINK 182 :)

[computergeek461]

great cover of the song just like the song, going to try this, thanks!

[rhythmantic]

@computergeek461 Thanks, yea, give it a shot, fun song which can be learned in parts, then they just repeat.

[TheChivito94]

NICE

[Jackstanford7]

Great cover :) 

[rhythmantic]

@Jackstanford7 Thank you, Jack, appreciate you stopping by.

[rvviz01]

Is that electric hi hats or just painted black? :)

[rhythmantic]

@rvviz01 They are 2 black rubber pads that play just like the metal ones.

[mapexmason98]

proper groovy cover man , you played it so well !

[rhythmantic]

@mapexmason98 Thanks man, I did this at the request of my daughter, never heard it before that and glad she turned me on to it.

[k1preris]

NICE!!!



[AliceCibiZombie]

You're great!

Love your vids! ;D

[rhythmantic]

@AliceCibiZombie Thanks, appreciate you watching my vids.

[1musikgeek]

what module do you have there, sir?

[rhythmantic]

@1musikgeek It's the V-Drums TDW-20 one, triggering a funk kit from the ADpak-Funk from Addictive Drums.

[ken71296]

Good job bro !

[rhythmantic]

@ken71296 Thanks

[AlphaCentauri00]

Excellent playing mate. keep it up

[rhythmantic]

@AlphaCentauri00 Thanks.

[Dryused24]

do you personally prefer electric kits over acoustic?

[rhythmantic]

@Dryused24 No! They both have their place, similar to an electric or an acoustic guitar. Each has it's own good and bad. For doing covers and laying down drum tracks for paying customers while living in an apartment, the edrums rule. For sensitivity, feel and touch, acoustic drums are best. The ideal thing is to put triggers on the acoustic drums and have the best both have to offer.

[RedDeadRedemption921]

How long have you been playing and also you are f***ing awesome! You also have an awesome taste in music.

[rhythmantic]

@RedDeadRedemption921 47 years. Thanks, appreciate you watching and commenting.

[AlphaCentauri00]

@rhythmantic You've been playing drums more than twice the time I've been alive! Regardless you have incredible chops and talent

[Ultrasonic1979]

nice cover m8.... watching you play this track makes it looks easy, I could probably play it now too....

keep it up :-)

[rhythmantic]

@Ultrasonic1979 Thanks. Good that you can play it. It's just about 3 different parts that repeat. Thanks for the encouragement.

[arashikashu23]

how do you record your videos? I wanna record mine

[rhythmantic]

@arashikashu23 Please see my channel page for that info, under "About Me:".

[GodricPUA]

Você é muito bom!!

[paulmcdrum]

again brill man

[rhythmantic]

@paulmcdrum Thanks I appreciate you checking out my stuff, you are very good drummer and so to hear such comments from my peers is very encouraging.

[cod4lifecuzz]

you know the song crushcrushcrush you should do it i have to do it for school but i really wanna c u play it :)

[rhythmantic]

@cod4lifecuzz I don't know the song, and it's not on my "to-do" list, sorry. Thanks for watching.

[TheL1n4r3s]

goood....

[67scarred]

dude ur awesome can u don a green day song please dude !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[rhythmantic]

@67scarred Thanks. Sorry but I can't take requests as my "to-cover" list is quite long. Perhaps in a couple of years, God willing, after I covered all that's on that list will I be able to take a request.

[rhythmantic]

@67scarred But, I should cover them, because I used to do a Green Day tune in a band. Hopefully someday.

[daryl2296]

Dude ur amazziinnnggg i really like ur covers ! :D are you in a band ???

[rhythmantic]

@daryl2296 Thanks, I've played in 100s of bands. These days I'm playing in church and a jazz band and recording drum tracks in my home studio. Thanks for watching, subscribe if you haven't, thanks. Gibraltar, that's got to be an interesting place to live.

[daryl2296]

@rhythmantic hehe thats really good :P and ye gibraltar is really good place to live love it ! haha

[pinxopkb]

hey man really nice cover! i was wondering if you could tell me that pattern you use in the fill at 1:15? i can´t figure out where the kick goes, rock on!

[rhythmantic]

@pinxopkb

Fill 1:16 - 1:18:

R (snare) L (upper tom) R (floor tom) bass drum L (snare).

The RLR is a 16th note triplet coming off the "and" of 4 followed by the bass drum on beat 1 followed by the L snare hit on the "and" of 1, followed by two 8th note bass drum strokes ("and 2") and finishing with two 1/4 note L strokes on the snare on the 3rd & 4th beat of the measure.

Hope that helps, and thanks for checking out the video.

[ununuctio]

well thats awsome

[rhythmantic]

@ununuctio Thanks.

[Armychords1996]

amazing! drums is incredible!

[rhythmantic]

@Armychords1996 Thanks a lot.

[cesarmartin41]

Great performance. I Have a question. My son recorded the same cover with drums, however we can't upload the video, because the people of youtube say that we don't have the copyright. How do you that without this problem?, thanks for your answer

[rhythmantic]

@cesarmartin41 YT has a "Dispute process". Go to your Videos page and follow this trail after your uploaded video that is blocked:

View Copyright Info.

I want to learn more about the dispute process.

[RodolfoDauber]

Amazing cover!!!! Superb musician!!!!!!!! Im pratice this song too....and is very hard, but you play soft and fluid....EXCELENT MY FRIEND!!!

[rhythmantic]

@RodolfoDauber Thanks for watching and I appreciate your very articulate description of my playing style.

[Benjomatic]

Someone with good timing, this is a YouTube first!

[rhythmantic]

@Benjomatic Thanks for stopping by and checking this out.

[ericcarr21]

are you really playing? cuz that is SPOT ON! NICE!

[rhythmantic]

@ericcarr21 Of course I am, Thanks, you're very kind. I was just reading about the RHCP in this month's Rolling Stone and how they keep on after so many guitar player changes.

[DavideOrbir]

Great cover

[rhythmantic]

@DavideOrbir Thanks.

[bersk8board]

man you are a really good drummer, I don't know why i just found youre videos now...

[rhythmantic]

@bersk8board Thanks so much. How did you find my videos?

[bersk8board]

@rhythmantic well, i was looking for some covers that used eletric drums, then i found "smells like teens spirit" that u cover, however i started watching all of your vids! hahah, keep rockin'!!

[unlimited00]

You are a very underrated "youtube cover artist" if I may. I love the classics and mellow stuff!

[rhythmantic]

@unlimited00 Thanks a lot for your kind comment, I appreciate it.

[MattLuklin]

Hi !! Yeah !! I find that you really play very very well!! I like very much what you do !! ;)

And I have a question, how much did you pay this drum set ?? =D !

Ciao !!

[rhythmantic]

@MattLuklin Thank you. I paid approximately $3200 USD for the Roland TD-12 kit, then I upgraded to the TD-20 module and Expansion Card for another $2400 USD. Also through in another pad ($300+) and cymbal ($100 +).

However, the sounds your hearing in this cover are from Addictive Drums ($200+)

[MattLuklin]

@rhythmantic All Right, thank you to have answered my question. I find that the sound of this drum on this video is really excellent, I love !! but, it is too expensive for me, d'oh ^^!

Good luck for after !!=)

PS: Sorry, if my english is bad, I'm french and I speak english just a little bit !=) !

[rhythmantic]

@MattLuklin No need to apologize for your English, I understand you. I admire folks who can converse in a language other than their own native one. I use Google Translate app to decipher comments in a language I don't know or to put my comment in another language, the vernacular might not be correct, but close enough. If you want you can write me in French and I can translate it with the app.

[MattLuklin]

@rhythmantic Ok, Merci c'est très gentil !! J'aime beaucoup l'anglais mais ça m'arrange car il me manque un peu de vocabulaire ! =) Et au fait, je voulais savoir, depuis combien de temps jouez vous de la batterie ? =)

[rhythmantic]

@MattLuklin jouer de la batterie depuis l'avènement des Beatles à la maison ville de New York, aujourd'hui de 47 ans.

[MattLuklin]

@rhythmantic Wow, that's incredible, I understand why you play as well! ;) !!

You must really love the drums! =D !! It's great !!

[spacetortuga]

Each time I have difficulties with my drum exercises, I turn on my computer and come see your videos to fiend a model and courage. You are great. Thanks for your talent and your passion, really. And now I can return to my practicing. Thank you ! Sorry for my bad english. Greetings from France.

[rhythmantic]

@spacetortuga Wow, that's what I like to hear, that my videos serve others in their pursuit of drumming skills and appreciation for drumming. Your English is fine. My wife and I want to visit France soon. 

[gleedy1824life]

I would love to be able to play all them grace notes they are what seperates good drummers and great ones and your a great drummer. Is there any tips you could give me on learning to master grace notes? or is it something that comes with experience?

[gleedy1824life]

We can all learn from Chad Smiths talents nice cover fella

[rhythmantic]

@gleedy1824life Thanks. Yes, and for me the lesson was the orchestration of the drum parts since what is played is not technically difficult or groundbreaking. 

[iceman0077]

verdaderamente eres un genio.

[rhythmantic]

@iceman0077 ah, eres muy amable. Gracias!

[boisdj]

I don't understand why you don't have more veiws, you're an amazing drummer!

[rhythmantic]

@boisdj Thanks a lot, I appreciate it. Yes, I don't know the working's of YT's search engine. Perhaps I don't have something set up in my channel settings that would make my channel appear more often in searches.

[fannymachine]

would i reli love about your videos when you play u look like your really really enjoying yourself i mean most of the other covers on here they dont smile just or show any emotion at all which is crap really if possible could i request a song i would love to see you do a cover to which is cinderella - somebody save me would really love to see that thanks take care and keep them coming

[fannymachine]

[rhythmantic]

@fannymachine Thanks so much for sharing that. I appreciate your encouraging comments. Well you know it's enjoyable to play drums and make music, so uh a smile will come out, especially when I find a good drum kit that matches the song well and have a good mix helps too. I'll look into the Cinderella tune and if I think I could do a decent cover of it, I'll add it to the list. thanks again my friend.

[kilterr]

Great version.. nice vibe!

[rhythmantic]

@kilterr That's good to hear, thanks so much I appreciate your feedback.

[Warhawk3800]

Awesome, awesome run... >=D

[rhythmantic]

@Warhawk3800 Thanks. This was a fun song to play.

[RhythmRoom1960]

Burnin' up the video. Two videos in just over a day . . . you must be winded . . . : ) Great choice in tunes. Keep the camera rolling!

[rhythmantic]

@RhythmRoom1960 Hey thanks for being the 1st to comment on this, actually I did 7 videos in one day, but it was suggested to me that I don't release all my videos in one shot, but release them gradually one at a time...I'm not sure about this, but I've taken my friend's advice. My daughter suggested this tune to me, I never heard it before, I'm glad she did, it's a great rockin one. Thanks a lot for checking it out, I appreciate it.

[RhythmRoom1960]

@rhythmantic Well, I have no posting experience of my own as of yet, but I'd say I agree with your friend's advice. As a long-standing Youtube surfer, the entertainment is seeing something new from one day to the next, so I'd definitely stagger the releases. And it's great that you and your daughter can share tunes. Even better that you can bring it to life in cover form!

[rhythmantic]

@RhythmRoom1960 Thanks for confirming the advice I was given, and I'll heed your advice. I've only been active on YT since January.
