The Offspring - Genocide (drumming cover)

[m1bug]

The point and most important thing is that we hear u playing, but we are not.

[fmandicevski]

mate, good attempt, keep practising, but he is doing more work in the real song on the hi hat, its all 8thnotes, your playing 4, most punk rock is fasr 8 notes on the hihat. keep it up mate

[awesomeninjaguy]

if you listen to the song, the hats just playing quaters along with the snare. then it switches to 8th notes when he goes to the ride, exactly how he's covering it.

[iramike]

i cant hear you sorry XD

[iramike]

great song good cover but i can hear you XD

[arthurhox]

haha yes! well good luck! Im still learning how to play like that so I will take some time to do it...

I asked if u r brazilian because I am and there is a word "tempo" in my language hahaha

it means time or weather

[aniguchisan]

Good luck to you too dude! \m/

[arthurhox]

YES! I feel like that too hahaa Is very hard to play! but Im sure we can both do it!

hey Oo you said "tempo" haha are you brazilian?

[aniguchisan]

The 16th notes on the hats are actually easier. Hopefully I'll put up a clearer video of the song played perfectly with the 16th notes only. Nope, not Brazilian. Indian. I love tempo. haha

[arthurhox]

hey, do u play 2 times the cymbal and 1 snare drum in one of the cymbals? Im asking because it doesnt look like you play like that...the correct way! haha no offense! u're a good drum player!

[aniguchisan]

You're right, I realised that afterwards. I hadn't paid attention to the drumming of the the song too well before I went ahead and recorded it. So yes, my hi-hats, for the verses atleast, is half the tempo they should be at. However, if you notice, this half-speed punk beat on the hats is actually hard to play and maintain in tune...atleast that's what I feel. Thanks though!

[Bann0ckburn]

Hey, if you ever come around to recording another Offspring song on drums, let me know and I'll add some guitar-work. But it should be a clean drum-only track ;)

[volosa12]

This is awsome

[aniguchisan]

Thanks a lot!

[golden280]

wow man that was ausume... im a guitarist and yet i can still tell u were perfect. By the way, amazing fills.

[ubern1nja]

i can totally understand muting your drum track, but that's NOT how you play a thrash beat.

[aniguchisan]

Care to elaborate? Thrash? I thought this was quarter notes on a punk song?

[maartentje365]

dude,can't hear the drums,but your tabs seem correct

[gillywilly999]

There's absolutely no point in doing a cover when you can't hear your instrument

[aniguchisan]

The original intent was to record the song with the real drums kept in. However, since my Logitech webcam makes my kit sound like kitchen utensils, all I was left with was a semi-decent video, minus the audio. I've given a description as to why this video's on. When I accumulate more capital, I'll buy some mics and put on a few new ones. Cool?

[NeoFlight747]

Can't hear you playing

[jayrod2]

I thought it was quarter notes on the hat?

[aniguchisan]

Yes, you're right. That was my bad. There's always something that goes wrong when I'm being recorded :)

[peterskywalker]

This is awsome you barely hear drum covers

[amaurythewarrior]

... i don't really see the point if i can't hear what you're playing (i bet a drummer don't need to hear to know if it's okay, but i'm a guitar player so ...)

[fight4freadom]

u r amense dude especially the twisting stick thing

[defuofamass]

Really nice job, keep up the good work!

[duden01]

Man, tune the music down, so we can hear the drums=)

[AniLumo]

Nice one. I'd like to see the original thing too.

[s0ulfire]

sweet!
