Porcupine Tree - Anesthetize (Drums Cover)

[jbqwerty]

...wow, this proves that Gavin Harrison is human! You´re great man. I really enjoy this, is like being sides Harrison at studio. You are a hero.

[nimahamidi]

Good Job

i enjoy ;-)

[metallicarox80s]

You kicked ass.

[kokaneeking420]

You got a style all your own, and its friggen awesome man. You make it look easy!

[ReductioAdAbsurdum1]

Hey dude, what kind of exercises/rudiments/routine practices do you do? You have pretty creative fills.

[BrownBear96]

@ReductioAdAbsurdum1 Thanks dude! I mainly do combinations of parradiddle, double strokes and single strokes for the hands. Another great exercise is to play very slow double strokes with your hands moving around the kit. Like the first stroke on floor tom, second on snare, third on hihat, fourth on snare again. If it works well you can play it more fast. Gives you alot of control.

For the feet I also play parradiddles and simple 16th and triple grooves.

Hope it helps :)

[yngwiemaiden48]

Did you use a drumless track? I want to cover this song too but first I'd like to get a drumless track (:

[BrownBear96]

@yngwiemaiden48 no, I didnt use one.

[giodruma99]

I'm not going to lie man, the way you did sounds absolutely badass!

[JRobPhoto]

only bad thing about this is the snare is too loud and i cant hear any bass :( amazing cover

[h3nRiQu3J]

Progressive drumming, how does it work? Haha

Awesome job

[PickNrolLtf2]

Wow. Sick drumming man keep it up.

[janknjazovic]

bravo :)

[WertherVulgarian]

You are really good!!! Great man!!!

[LuKe9001]

This was amazing.

[GeorgeDiathesopoulos]

VERY Good cover dude ! I think it would be perfect if you played a little bit more "Attack" ... A bit more nervously a bit louder etc ...

[davidamarat]

Thanxs man! I practice guitars with your video and sounds great! Mybe some day we cover it live hehe

[DavidAM1770]

Awesome work...

[stevevegetable]

great drummin guy.suprised not to see neil peart in your list of favorite drummers tho.hes gotta be one of the best ever in my personal opinion.niceone tho

[MarksLive]

It's like the live version... Really good cover, i think only Gavin can do better XD Very very good ;)

[maclellan100]

Cheers! Yeah - that makes sense. How do you count it? I've tries 12 bars of 3/16 then one bar of 4/8 - that kind of works but it still hurts your head! :-)

[BrownBear96]

@maclellan100 yeah... to count 16th notes in this song really hurts :D I just dont count anymore. I listened to that song like a thousand times, its totally in my head ;)



[maclellan100]

Very impressive and nice drum sound too! What's the time signatures around 4m 39s in your vid? Still struggling to work that bit out! :-)

[BrownBear96]

@maclellan100 thanks a lot! that took me some time too: to make it easier, think about the wohle thing, which is actually in 22/8. right between the "11" and the "12" is a "cut" (that is, where the second bar starts, its the "11 and"). now you just have to think of 16th notes: 10,5 8th notes equate to 21 16th notes (thats the first bar). 11,5 8th notes equate to 23 16th notes.

so these are two bars: one of 21/16th and one 23/16th ;) i hope you understand it, its pretty hard to explain. ..

[Mp5Drummer]

This was fantastic! I love how clean your rolls and fills are, it's amazing! Just one thing, you may want to change the beaters/tuning for your bass drum, or your miking/mixing. Sounds very "fluffy" and very low in the mix to me.

[Sonor1996]

very good!

definitely the best Anesthetize cover on youTube!

[napoleon503]

Hey I'm thinking of getting this snare what would you say about it?

[DerangedLunatic88]

I just made myself look like a fool. Damnit! How long have you been playing man? If you say that's in the video description. I'll shoot you, at point blank range :P

[BrownBear96]

@DerangedLunatic88 no problem man ;)

I've played the drums since I was seven. I had five years of lessons, but then it lost it's appeal to me so I quit them. I got a new drumset in November 2007 and began and went on with it. But my skills where almost completely down at that point.

[DerangedLunatic88]

Haha yes, rudiment practice is mandatory!. I see you have mics up there, which ones are you using ? Also which coated heads do you use ? The sound is fat and nice unlike em ringy pissy off toms. I also see a corporate clutch there in the hi - hat. Now that i'm looking more at your setup. Its pretty cool :D

[BrownBear96]

@DerangedLunatic88 thanks. most of my set up is explained in the video description ;)

[Reezlee]

nice playing and your toms and snare sounds great!

I have the same snare, what drumheads do you use on it and did you tuned it with the tophead higher, lower or even with the bottom snare?

greetingsss from belgium =)

[BrownBear96]

@Reezlee thank you!

my SD heads are: Evans Power Center (top), Evans Hazy 300 (bottom). the bottom head is tuned clearly higher then the top head. but dont forget, i miced the drums! that has a giant influence on the sound.

[BrownBear96]

@Reezlee thank you :)

[jgtrace]

Nice played! :)

[Darkkurama0sannin]

I cried. SUPERB COVER!! i wish i played like you

[MalcolmDrummer]

I can see CAD mics on your toms (I have those), what kind of mics, mixer and software do you use, really a good work

[BrownBear96]

@MalcolmDrummer thanks! you can read all these information in the description underneath the video ;)

[DerangedLunatic88]

Brown Bear. The clarity you've played with is amazing. Love the tuning of the kit overall, sounds brilliant :) I see the Xs20 cymbals but would want to know if they're medium thin or rock. Also, what do you practice your ghost notes on? Your left hand looks very practiced. Keep giving more videos man :D

Nikhil.

[BrownBear96]

@DerangedLunatic88 thanks a lot!

i actuatlly have one sabian xs 20 medium ride. the rest are other ones (take a look in the video description). i cant really tell you, what made my ghost notes worked like that/practiced my left hand. i used to do a lot of paradiddle/double stroke-rudiment stuff. appart from that i PRACTICED THAT SONG A FUCKING LOT!

a very good method to practice your left hand is to play easy things, which you played also with your right hand when you started to play drums ;)

[SauloASFS]

what you got to say about your snare? I'm looking at different brands copper snares but cant decide yet

[BrownBear96]

@SauloASFS I really like it. It has a nice compromise between a steel and a wood snare or something. Very nice metallic bang, but also a lot of warmth. Maybe this is the special thing about a copper snare, anyway, this one has it ;) Go test it out!

[funkitup28]

excellent! keep up the good work...

[JMartinsATV]

is your hi-hat broken??

[BrownBear96]

@JMartinsATV actually not. why?

[JMartinsATV]

@BrownBear96 Yeah, after watching the whole video I realized it shouldn't be. It's that shadow over the hi-hat bell that threw me off.

Congratulations on the cover though! I could just about feel the song was yours, and that is saying a lot for a Porcupine Tree cover

[BrownBear96]

@JMartinsATV yeah, its looks a bit like it was broken.

thanks a lot :) Im glad to hear that.

[jonse456]

Sooo awesome, and so clean! What do you do in 6:41? Is it the "5-stroke" gavin use to play?

[BrownBear96]

@jonse456 @jonse456 @jonse456 @jonse456 Thank you :)

yeah, these are two 5 stroke fills and gavin plays them a lot in different variations:

R L R R L B R L R R 

[premierdrummer231988]

i like it very much

nearly played like the original song

well done !!

nice sound

[oDevastateo]

Dam dude, this is sick. I've been playing drums for 6 years and I doubt I'll ever be able to learn that.

[fairwayhills702]

This sounds really awesome, upload more soon! (:

I wish I played the drums lol

[17erstad]

Awesome cover of an awesome song! :D

[Zildjian232]

Very Clean. Even when blasting the groups of 4 on the bass drum. Kudos

[BrownBear96]

@Zildjian232 thank you! its nice to get a compliment for something you worked the last 1, 1 1/2 years on - which was to get a cleaner, smoother playing ;)

[HaloVidz1]

what do your drums sound like without the editing? Or do they actually sound like that in real life?

[BrownBear96]

Auf dieses Video antworten...nope, the most of the "good" sound is because i miced the drums. its unbelievable how they improve the sound. the editing is relevant too, but just a little bit imo...

[HaloVidz1]

@BrownBear96 oh, i see. thanks for letting me know :P but i still think you are amazing at drumming, i really do enjoy watching your videos. you inspire me

[Andiiw]

your playing is so clean cut-- it sounds amazing. you've got some serious skills :)

[BrownBear96]

@Andiiw thank you :)

[alvinandyounoob]

I have a question, it may sound very very stupid, but after I watched this I wanted to play the drums too, but where do you learn this? all by yourself? or do you take drum lessons?, please respond D:

[BrownBear96]

@alvinandyounoob best for the start is to take lessons ;)

[alvinandyounoob]

@BrownBear96

thanks ;D

[SuperMefisto6666]

Haha! You looked really fat on the thumbnail! Good to see that you aren't! And awesome job nailing the song too!
