[PerfectlyMisplaced]

Holy shit dude xd

That's a fucking epic cover.

[kipwsm]

i dig the man cave

[loudamcar]

hey ben

verry nice cover man, your verry talented drummer, espacily your stick technic... most admit I look up to you as a drummer... could you do a few metallica or on a danish metal band called volbeat, think you would like them..

[Fooman72]

Needs your drums louder, but epic cover man.

[FallenLeaves97]

no offence, but i don't the way you set up your drums, but i can't change because that's your style, and i respect. either than that, i like the way you play. you're good.

[crispyshivs]

one question, how is the sound so goods even though you don't have any mic's on the kits....or are they there and i'm just going blind

[Desertfury]

Are those nylon tip drumsticks i see? or is it jut me?

[TheCebe95]

Can you re record this now you have better equipment

[MrScottMorris]

Stick Twirl Fail haha was funny, great cover though!

[offsafety805]

haha, awesome. love it when peeps dont take them selves so seriously. have some fun, nah mean?

[KaneCharlesworth]

anyone heard of the awesome drummer Cozy Powell, i think theres some sort of connection.....

[Snipersoundsstudio]

Great drumming man! Thanks for doing the Vid! I've always wanted to know how to do those fills!

[boweep]

@sharpd91 who cares it a drum cover

[Frytz68]

Not the best sound quality, this recording. That's a shame. But the drumming is great!

[bobs718]

[dexterscolfield]

[JerrysDerby]

sick cover, i know how to play this song but i fisically cant play the constant 16ns on the hi-hats without my arms dying

[kowalski077]

excelente!!! muy bueno...

[OrangeRoom94]

Hay where are these cymbals now???

[sk8rsurfermatt1995]

luv it

[TenacGP]

I think this song is painful to play ! :D I get tired in the middle of the song.

[hokeypokeypanda]

champion effort! loving the fact that you covered the foo fighters, bloody brilliant job at it too :) good god i need to practice a hell of a lot more.

[Nerfpwns]

yea same im looking fr a band too

[fionnessy]

you should defo record it again with you playing...looks like you've got it pretty spot on.

& ye, your toms do look loose

[target32123]

Best i've seen mate, brilliant.

[eltrokeromexicano]

good cover but i see your heads are kinda lose lol. but good cover

[vitto85]

awesome!

[cameronjokhanisaledg]

have u just escaped from a mental asylum

[roolcage]

sick

[silentrageleon]

Real great awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!! Perfect sound!

[LUKOALDO]

theres only CD sound. but yes its great, of course :)

[izisvi]

in the description, he said he cut out his drum sound... it's just a video of him playing, with the real everlong dubbed over it.

We've no idea how good is sounded, just that he did indeed keep rhythm.

[linktheaustin]

great job dude 5 stars!

[FunkyMonk1206]

Good drumming dude...

But you're gonna get RSI by playing like that.

[FunkyMonk1206]

RSI is Repetitive Strain Injury.

Look at his wrists when he's playing. He needs to play with his palms down instead of his wrists going up and down.

Especially at this tempo.

[Robdrummer93]

He is probably using French Grip.

[ultimatefighter187]

lol the stick twirl was so funny i rewinded about 5 times just to see it again :)

[matthewwong107]

what cymbals do you have?

[GrockJake]

are you blind, and cannot see the giant K?

[theDrumkilla]

Those are K's from Zildjian.

[lucador82]

Great!

[gonzalo2053]

man your drumms are not making any noise ...... you should play with the song and record your drumms with it ... not just like pretending you are playing

By the Way its very nice

[elyjacobs]

i have wrists of "steel" how do i do this song..can i wing an audtion doing it with one and a looser hi-hat? what u think

[cf725b]

Dude, your stick twirling sucks. Just kidding man - great job!

[benpowellfforddlas]

thx.

[scoobytom]

Man i love this song, you really did it justice mate! looks like ur spot on with ur timing too!

[vegaspilot03]

dude, you hit yourself with your stick~! lol

you rock though.

[njdrummerboy626]

well done. like the production value too. what's ur vid editing software?

[drummerkidmashy]

sweet! this one i can relate to the most! i play the chorus almost the exact same way!

[YoungDrummer16]

awesome dude, one thing tho, i think your tom needs to be tightened it had wrinkles i think. keep on rockin

[benpowellfforddlas]

its a light reflection, i know how to tighten drums!

[alfonzie]

dude.. i hail you

[WhatsUpHomies]

just a guestion why do drummers were those headphones on their ears

awesome job

keep it up

[benpowellfforddlas]

drummers wear headphones for many different occasions.

for doing stuff like this, they wear headphones to listen to the song to play along to it.

when drummers play live, sometimes they'll play along to a click to keep in time, that's another instance for wearing them.

[UltimateDud]

You better be in a band or I'll rage.

[benpowellfforddlas]

I've been in bands!

But currently looking for one!

[soxfreak56]

so u dont listen to the song while playing the cover? u must have great sense of time. ive been playin for 3 years and for most fast covers i need silencing headphones

[benpowellfforddlas]

yea of course i listened to the song!

haha

i've got professional head phone's which sit right in your ear!

They also act as a silencer too!

[emppurova]

What pedals you use?

[benpowellfforddlas]

i just use a single pedal

DW 9000 Series Pedal

[emppurova]

Ok.

[DaDruminator]

wow, thats a small room to have drums in

[liamano1]

i started playing guitar 9 yrs ago just so i could play this song...took me about a week...if i start play drums right now how long would it take before i could play it?

[benpowellfforddlas]

i've been playing 8 years!

to play it properly i would guess you would need a good 4 - 5 years to develop your style and get the technique! that is starting from scratch.

the song isn't actually that hard to play, it's all about having the correct technique, which like i said takes years to develop.

hope that helps!

[Frixar]

superb

absolutely

nice

perfect =)

[MA11TT2089]

am i the only one that laughed at 3:05

[satanspal112]

you are not along my friend

[NYGSD]

funny as fuck, watched it like 5 times haha

[Iithuanianboy]

GJ! i love the foo fighters and this is probly (in my opinion) their best song

[thesurfsflat]

mate...awesome, im trying to get this right at the moment, its tricky!!

great smacking!!

[benpowellfforddlas]

it's all about using your wrists.

and using so such energy hitting hard.

the song is really easy to play, just practice 16th notes!

[thesurfsflat]

yeah....im pretty cool with 16ths, just the chorus fills....but ill get it soon!

[ofirharlev]

you're my idol!!

O_o

[MyheartisRSCs]

I've got a request.

Could you do the song alive by P.O.D. for me?

[benpowellfforddlas]

Hey guys thanks for all the positive feedback!

Any requests for another video?

Regards

Ben

[Aceswildx13]
