[lakislalakis]

I am trying obstacle 1 myself, but the bass drum is a bit tricky and i haven't yet gained a complete right arm-right foot independence.

[toomm0192]

[Warhawk3800]

On the breakdown right before the Outro. It's easy once you get the hang of it..

[emmyelise]

possibly the easiest song to memorize, aha good job

[lakislalakis]

thanks!

[Complicatedd0928]

agreed

[DiFrand]

ahhh such an awesome song, good job on the drum cover!

I hope to get some drums this summer and learn how to play this song first, it's just that great of a song.

[lakislalakis]

Thanks mate! That was one of my first songs i learned too. (3rd specifically) :)

[haboo9282]

hey, your pretty good =)

i am going to buy drums soon hopefully...so i was wondering if this song is playable with only 2 crash cymbals and the hi-hat...or do i need that third cymbal that you used a lot?

[lakislalakis]

That 3rd cymbal you are referring to is called the ''ride cymbal'' and is/should be one of the main components of the drumset as it is used the same way that the hihat does but we use the ride for higher pitch sounds. A good idea is to buy a crash/ride cymbal (2 in one) which can be used for both purposes so you'll have one less cymbal hanging around too. Mine is just ride cymbal so it doesn't have the crash sound that's why i have 2 other crashes. Hope that helps! Thanks for the comment!

[lakislalakis]

Also another good idea is to buy a combo cymbals pack like i did which includes either 3 cymbals (hihat-crash and a crash/ride) or 4 cymbals (hihat - 1st crash- 2nd crash and a ride). All the cymbal manufacturers have these in their product range. You can check zildjian,paiste,meinl or sabian (biggest cymbal manufacturers) for that packs!

[haboo9282]

so lets say i bought a package with one hihat and a crash/ride cymbal...i will have one less crash than you, so how will i play songs that need the 2nd crash cymbal?

thanks for the reply and sorry for the noob questions...its because i am a noob =P

[lakislalakis]

There's not noob questions! It's natural you don't know. I was in your position a year ago. :) Now, regarding your question, the crash/ride cymbal works as a ride when you ride it (by saying ride it, i mean you hit it gently like you would have done with a hihat or a simple ride cymbal) but when you hit it hard, it makes that crash sound as if it was a crash cymbal.

In my opinion of course, it's better to have each cymbal ''assigned'' for a task, that's why i bought 4 cymbals,

[lakislalakis]

....but that's my humble opinion. Many youtubers use crash/ride cymbals and do an excellent job. You can check for example the user: leperm which has a crash/ride cymbal in his videos and that guy really rocks the hell out of it!!! :)

[haboo9282]

thanks a lot for your reply, you have helped me a lot =)

nice talking to you

[lakislalakis]

It was a pleasure talking to you mate too. Make sure to upload your covers as soon as you get your drumset! :)

Cheers!

[haboo9282]

that is IF my mom lets me get them....but she always gives up when i ask for something every second =P

and if i do ill contact you =)

[lakislalakis]

hehe, you try that, most times it works ;)

[jadaisboss]

you're really good.

i checked your untitled cover out a while back.

it was the best i've hear so far.

great job on this too.

[lakislalakis]

Thank you very much :-)

Ilike MGMT too and as soon as i recover i'll try to cover ''time to pretend'' as i really love that song.

Cheers!

Muchas gracias e saludos desde Grecia!

[julesstroke]

hey

thanks for the reply

and that makes me happy

=D

cheers from mexico city

i know my english sucks haha sorry

[lakislalakis]

Your English are great! :)

It's my Spanish that suck, haha!

Be well mate, cheers!

[xaviercornwell]

to me it seems that the crashes arnt sounding like its full potential mybe try loosning or tighting them up a bit

[lakislalakis]

Good morning! My crashes have been tested both when tightened and loosened up, but the thing is i don't hit them too hard so i won't disturb my neighbours. You see i live in the ground floor of a 5 floor building block and i wouldn't want the cops over :)

[poundld01]

u did really good but try to lossen up like not so tight at the rists but other than that awesome!

[lakislalakis]

Thanks mate! Yeah, i'm aware of the tight wrists issue as i'm only a beginner, but i find myself more relaxed day after day. It's all a matter of confidence as it seems. Thanks once again for your comment!

Cheers

[th3Invincible]

You did a good job, but dude, get motivated to stop smoking. I'm serious.

[lakislalakis]

Thanks for yojr interest mate, you know you're right, i know you're right and hopefully i will be able to try that in 2009!

[QLyfe]

Nice job.. Im learning this drum cover off of you. how long have you been playing

[lakislalakis]

Hi, i've been playing since January 2008. The kit you see was bought on August. But i only manage to play perhaps 3-4 hours tops per week since i have a very busy schedule and work load....unfortunately. The track is pretty simple and was the 3rd song i managed to learn. Try it a few times and you'll see for yourself the simplicity yet the greatness of this track! Good Luck!

[emmyelise]

hey, what cymbals are you using?

[lakislalakis]

Hi, i use Zildjan ZXT series. All the cymbals that you see were part of the Zildjian ZXT combo pack. You can check my profile page for more info on dimensions and others if you like.

Thanks for dropping by!

[prode2121]

good job

[lakislalakis]

Thanks mate :)
