Nice recording, and quality playing, but if I had a tip it would be to loosen up your body, use less of your arms. In order to do this, angle your hand downwards, as the wrist moves up and down with your palm down, not with your palm facing outwards. This will give you much better flexibility, and allow you to move faster and more gracefully, getting all the beats you want. Trust me, try it!
nice! my name is leon myself, so i thought about doing a cover of some kings of leon stuff soon, after i saw your cover and that. anyway i play the same way, with my headphones plugged into my macbook pro, and open the song through itunes :D please check out my channel, im a talented 14yr old drummer from australia
@kroyster21 lets see, the shell pack was $600, snare a little over $200. the rest of the cymbals and harware....i'll sat a little over a grand. all recording gear separate.
That's spot on Man, i am or was a pro drummer so i appreciate how perfect you played that with a few little extras added in;) ! Nice sounds from your kit too! Are you a session player? Good job!
i use audix mics, each one is close miced, 2 overheads and a room mic - 8 in all. they're routed to an alesis io 26, then routed into my mac via firewire. i use garageband as my DAW
Your kit sounds awesome mic'ed up, Cymbols sounds great, and I love the different camera angles... Great all arround...What kind of ride are you using?
good shit! sick cover! you think you can post a tutorial of this? i am a beginner haha. you think you could break it down like on what counts to hit the snare then the bass then hi hat what count to hit the tambourine ? something like that? haha thanx!!!!!!
Great cover!! Beautiful dog too!! Regarding Stunnaonflyrims's comment about the missed bass beats on the verse, I actually think you're are doing it correctly (although you should probably kick along with the snare notes as well). I've seen alot of drummers play the kick along with the bass guitar, but I hear straight quarter notes on the kick.
wow, i love it... the sound is just amazing... i wonder if u can do a slow night, so long cover?... :) by the way, nice dog haha, saludos desde Mexico :)
Awesome job! Love the audio and video. And obviously the tight drumming. Your dog rules. Nice to watch vids when you know the person enjoys what their doing, keep it up man!
forgot to mention...my jack russel will not leave my bass pedal alone...if it moves it's game....Lab's can be so mellow as long as there's no ball...have a grat day!
for the recording on garageband how what kind of kit i can't just find the right kit for mine it's a ludwig but it doesn't sound the same in garageband
no tabs, just listened, and learned it.... although i don't follow the original version exactly, like hitting the edge of the ride instead of an open hi hat during the chorus
hi. for this recording, i used 8. 4 close mics on the drums, two overheads, and two room mics set about 15' from the kit. once the signals were in garageband, i did a lot of tweaking adding a little reverb to the snare, eq'ing and compressing most of the kit, and gating all the close mics. hope this helps.
Sweet set man. Great cover.
And props to your dog!
