Queens of the Stone Age - Avon drum cover

[No1MarleyF]

Great cover! The best cover of this song on youtube!

[mihaidrums]

Sound like John Bonham solo..... 

[khrisduran]

The solo on this is amazing HOW DO YOU DO IT !

[roryando]

That solo was perfect



[roryando]

:o

[machmota]

DAVE GROHL ISNT THE ONLY DRUMMER FOR QOTSA!!

[iendacard]

@machmota I AM WELL AWARE OF THAT THANKS THEY'RE ONE OF MY FAVORITE BANDS

[machmota]

@iendacard Sorry, im sure you knew that. I was just letting everyone else know. Good cover btw. I've just been reading alot of comments and everyone seems to think dave grohl has drummed on every song, im like nooooo

[iendacard]

@machmota Haha, thanks! I still usually assume that every comment on the video is directed toward me, so yeah. Sorry about that. :D QOTSA has had a long history of great drummers, and Dave, though he is my favorite, is only one of them!

[machmota]

@iendacard im a dumbass i just realized that this is the live version. my bad.

[navi1098]

@machmota alfredo hernandez

[Pessoa022]

[bertiemycat]

that solo literally melted my face

[Sergiom94]

awesome video!

[myjizzureye]

Pretty good, now all you need to pull off is to look straight while playing.

[iendacard]

@myjizzureye Look straight?

[myjizzureye]

@iendacard Yeah, I mean not like a fruit.

[iendacard]

@myjizzureye What kind of fruit? Like an orange?

[myjizzureye]

@iendacard They say its wrong to stereo type people, yet the stereo types exist for a reason dont they tiger. Do you have somebody who looks after you?

[iendacard]

@myjizzureye Apparently the lady who works in the produce section.

[navi1098]

hey my dad is the original drummer for qotsa and he says u sound really good :) and im serious about my dad- check

[iendacard]

@navi1098 No way. :) Who is your dad?

[navi1098]

@iendacard ALFREDO HERNANDEZ

[iendacard]

@navi1098 Awesome! I love his tracks on the self-titled QOTSA album. He's a great drummer.

[CianoKeano2010]

fuck man you are awesome!

[TheJesperAble]

I just love to play this song on my guitar with your drums commin outta my speakers, its fkin awsome O.o

[Szasza321]

2:23 awesome dude ^^

[rohanpogi]

cover cast down the heretic by nile

[periloushomous]

2:34 yir like.."well, ok, after 10 times, that'll do."

well done, dude! bravo!

this version was the glasto one, right? it's d best one

[joaoa13portugal]

The beginning part comes from Endless Nameless from Nirvana, only instead of hitting the floor tom Grohl hitted the Hi-Hats

[MrLiveWired]

ahahahah that's actually pretty cool. either way, you're fucking amazing. i got everything down 'xept the solo and im done triyng to figure it out. haha.

[iendacard]

@MrLiveWired Haha, thanks man. :) Yeah that solo is not easy to figure out! I have a feeling Dave just ripped that solo out of thin air.

[bigrednz69]

Yeah I agree this is pretty tight!! Nice one

[iendacard]

@bigrednz69 Thanks! :)

[simolimo91]

You rock man. Fuckin awesome.

[iendacard]

@simolimo91 Thanks man!

[MrLiveWired]

are you a lefty or a righty?

[iendacard]

@MrLiveWired I play left handed on a righty kit, which is called open handed. I consider myself right handed, but I do somethings left handed (like playing drums). :)

[MrQuadLogik]

@iendacard

i do the same thing. yeee..

the proper term is "open" handed.

but i like lefty-right setup. yee

[tripjams]

dude. you are the shit

[iendacard]

@tripjams Haha, thanks!

[tripjams]

@iendacard i actually just rediscovered you. i remember i learned a lot of enough space by watchin your one cover. soon im prob gonna work on this song too. so thanks brah!!

[iendacard]

@tripjams That's awesome man. :) Have fun! Avon is really fun to play.

[drummerdude1411]

thumbs up for dave grohl look a like :)

[iendacard]

@drummerdude1411 lol :) Thanks.

[BobMourad]

Yeahhhh !

[manguejoe]

Finally a good qotsa drum cover on youtube.

[iendacard]

@manguejoe Haha, thanks! QOTSA songs are the best to play. They're super fun.

[waffle151]

man u got that solo down perfectly 2 thumps up

[iendacard]

@waffle151 Thanks! It was hard work. :)

[waffle151]

@iendacard dude it seems like it took u five mins to get it it was perfect

[spaceboy90]

fuck yeah, dude. 

[thanosyo1]

nice work dude!!!

[iendacard]

@thanosyo1 Thanks! :)

[iendacard]

@tokarev445 Yeah! Actually, I usually have one over there.

[punishment789]

those drums sound awsome!!!!!!!!

[iendacard]

@punishment789 Thanks! :)

[TcMlovesLisey]

lol @ the expression thing you do at 02:33 ! Hey, you know I'm a Grohl fan when I go to listen to drum covers of his work that is not even done in his own band. You did a great job, dude! He seems to put a lot more power into his style but maybe it is not needed? It's a bit of Grohl-theatrics? Aah I love it through :) He is my fave drummer, with Dan Allaire as my 2nd (Brian Jonestown Masscre).

[iendacard]

@TcMlovesLisey Haha, thanks! I think his power is part theatrics, but that's the fun of playing drums. I normally play a LOT harder than I do in my videos.. but if I play at full volume, I just can't hear the song in the headphones. :(

[arthurkitchen]

@iendacard Perhaps One percent theatrics. His roadies with confirm the massive amount of broken sticks and cymbals. Hit em hard!

[iendacard]

@arthurkitchen Oh yeah, he's definitely really hitting hard.

[Rippenoowuns21]

Haha... Great cover tho bro

[KritikalError]

Dude....

1. Your drums sound fucking awesome.

2. You ace'd Dave Grohl's solo!

3. You make me jealous

Also, I really like your setup. This was a fucking AWESOME video and you're a mega tight drummer!

[iendacard]

Haha, wow.. thanks!! I think my head just grew a little bit.

[oskarveliky]

Ty jsi Čech? Jenda...

[Rippenoowuns21]

Was that at 2:34? Haha

[iendacard]

lol.. that was, "close enough!"

[HardcoreSNiper]

What's the name of the drum kit your using? The sounds coming out great.

[iendacard]

Thanks! It's a Pearl Masters Studio BRX.

[NfPro09]

Hey could you make an other video showing the drum solo. I have been looking everywhere on youtube, but it is not there. Thanks for the video you made. Thanks.

[hovmork]

fantastic !

[iendacard]

Thanks!

[Nutsymton]

10 takes? lol sounds like me, I love doing drum covers, but I screw up so much I gotta start it alllll over again lol... But great job, I lvoe the break down, you nailed the song perfectly

[iendacard]

Thanks man! Yeah, it's that solo.. I'd get half way through it and then screw up. AH!!! I'm a perfectionist too, so the tiniest mistake was enough to make me start over.

[KERMITzaFROG]

Dude your fuckin awesome, me and my band are gonna do a cover of this song, this cover really helped my drummer

[iendacard]

Haha, thanks! I'm glad I could help out.

[elborimex]

holly shit i checked out your band myspace and the p.i.t.s are fucking amazing please if some day you tour remember that here

in puerto rico are some real music lovers

[iendacard]

Thanks, that's awesome! I will remember that. If we do ever tour, we have a lot of ground to cover, haha! :)

[scotty6606444]

nice cover. but why are your rack toms backwards?

[iendacard]

Thanks! I just thought I'd try it out one day. I play on a righty kit but I start fills with my left hand, so I thought it might make sense to reverse them. They haven't been in order since! :)

[Burnburn13]

Seriously awesome. I love the shrug you give after the solo... damn you making it look so easy!

[iendacard]

lol :D Thanks!

[KirkHammett131290]

oh my god. that was perfect. i'm trying to play this song since 2 or 3 weeks and i'm stuck in this goddamn solo part...

youre brilliant.

[iendacard]

Thanks! If you haven't seen it, I have a video of just the solo and tabs of it, if you want them. :)

[KirkHammett131290]

i saw your video about the solo part and it is perfect. but i'm too stupid though. :D

[iendacard]

lol :D

[mati41551]

muy bueno!!!!!!:-)

[iendacard]

Thanks!! :)

[Jafutte]

dude you're good. show it. have some attitude! som more agression maybe.. cuss you really rocks this song! awsome dude

[iendacard]

Thanks man. Usually I'm much more enthusiastic, but this was after several takes, and I was just tired of messing up. LoL :)

[DrummerGS]

You nailed that shit man. Nice triplets there.

[iendacard]

Thanks!

[sta0005]

The solo wasn't the same as Grohl's, but it still sounded great!

[iendacard]

Thanks! I had a couple of differences in the triplets, but after several takes, I figured it was close enough. :)

[sta0005]

Several takes? You've got great stamina, man.

[iendacard]

Haha, thanks. :)

[robinflobin]

woot

[tysweetdrums]

the drums sound great tone-wise what kind of heads are those

[iendacard]

Thanks man. They're all two-ply coated heads, some of them are Remo Emperors and some are Evans G2. Actually, you can tell which ones are which. The 12" tom and 16" tom are Evans, the 14" (directly in front of me) is an Emperor. The snare head is an Evans Power Center Reverse Dot.

[tysweetdrums]

Not as energetic as grohl but great job

[Justhestandard]

if this is you after 8 takes you must be a beast when you start off are you in a band right now?

[iendacard]

Haha, yeah.. I was much more into it for the first few takes! I'm currently playing a few gigs with some friends, nothing major at the moment.

[Justhestandard]

Some good covers i think you could pown would be like smells like teen spirit etc u got a kinda grohl flair to your style

[iendacard]

Yeah, I would LOVE to do some Nirvana covers. Teen Spirit was the second full song I learned way back in the day. I'd really like to do Aneurysm.. I just love that crazy tom fill he does right at the end of the intro.

[NanoverseProductions]

Good shit man! This is definitely the best "Grohl" cover of Avon I've seen! 5 stars! Check out my video response I posted!

[iendacard]

Thanks man! I checked it out, I like it! Nice work.

[Kamince]

Haha, right after the solo, (which you did well) you look like you didn't have a clue what the hell you just played xD like "I don't know oO"

[iendacard]

Haha, thanks. :) Yeah, I had already done several takes, and I knew it wasn't quite right, but I was like, "Eh, close enough!" :D

[lakudzala195]

fucking sweet man

[iendacard]

Thanks!

[lakudzala195]

on the verses do u play the ride or crash? and can u send me the tabs for the solo?

[iendacard]

During the verses, I'm playing on my 20" ride to my left. Sending you the solo tabs now!

[sharty5000]

dave grohl is god

[MissionMetallica]

Hi. I love watching your videos, because I myself are trying to play some QOTSA, they rule..!

Keep 'em coming (I subscribed)

Btw, on your next videos, can you turn the bass drum a little more up? Its kinda hard to hear.

[iendacard]

Hey, thanks for subscribing! Yeah, I'm going to try to do a better job mixing new videos.

[marcotamazildjian]

EXCELENT EXCELENT VERY GOOD

[iendacard]

Thanks! :)

[GUITARHERO66]

what drum set is that?

[iendacard]

That is a Pearl Masters Studio BRX and a Tama Starclassic Performer snare, all birch.

[jfastard]

Never posted on a "cover" video on youtube, but had to on yours. Spot on my man. Grohl's so tight that it's hard to match him, but you did with excellent feel. Are you a lefty playing a right handed kit? (a la Carter Beauford?)

[iendacard]

Wow, thanks! :) Yep, the way I play is just like Carter Beauford, though I have toyed with the idea of going full lefty (I kinda consider what I'm doing to be half lefty).

[jfastard]

No sense doing that, everything's wide open the way you play. I wish I could do the same (but my feeble right handed brain wouldn't allow it).

[iendacard]

lol, it's tough. There are really only two disadvantages to playing the way I do. The first is that I want toms descending to the left, and my hi-hat is in the way (a remote might solve that, so I can get the hi-hat super low and out of the way). The other is that my kit tends to spread out a lot from left to right and looks kinda weird, but that's really just a mild annoyance.

[themanfromstan]

Awesome

[iendacard]

Thanks!

[UltrasMaia]

Fantastic!

[iendacard]

Thank you!

[0wn3dforlife]

do u have a double kick pedal? btw

[iendacard]

I do, but it's not being used in this one. This song is all done with triplets between right hand, left hand, and bass drum.

[protobuster]

you looks like dave grohl

[iendacard]

I get that a lot, haha :D

[BALevitan]

This is inspiringly good.

Keep it up man.

[kkesce]

Haha when you swing your arms up after the drum solo (which was fucking awesome) you just kinda looked like eh fuck it.

[iendacard]

LoL, yeah.. I was like, "close enough for rock and roll."

[TehlolzProductions]

Damn that was great!

[iendacard]

Thanks!

[theclumpbetween9]

Your drums sound amazing!

[iendacard]

Thanks!

[plansforplanes]

Nice,

But i can't here the bas drum that would make it even better:D

[iendacard]

Thanks! Yeah, it is pretty quiet in this vid.. I'm better at drumming than I am at mixing. :)

[ffmattsk8]

Just click HQ and then listen to it. I can hear the bass drum just fine.

[iendacard]

You're right, the sound is lightyears better in High Quality.

[fuzzyclownz]

...epic

[iendacard]

Haha, many thanks. :)

[drummerdude1411]

ive already said this but that look after the drum solo was just hillarious!!

it cracked me up man!! :L

awesome drumming bro

would love to have a drum off with you dude!!!

peace!

[iendacard]

Haha, yeah.. :D Thanks man.. we pretty much have the same drum idols!

[drummerdude1411]

sure do bro!

u like taylor ,grohl an bonham yeah????

all awesome

[iendacard]

Yep, three of my favorites! I also really dig Jimmy Chamberlin and Matt Cameron.

[drummerdude1411]

nice me too man! not so much chamberlain but he is an awesome drummer!!

you like dominic howard form muse at all?

he's such an underrated drummer

peace!

[iendacard]

Yeah, I've grown to appreciate Dom a lot over the past year or so, definitely underrated.

[drummerdude1411]

yeah dude

hes one of my biggest influences!

an awesome drummer!

u tune ur kit really well by the way!

nice job

utube wont let me uplaod any videos?

do u no y that cud be happnin?

noboady knows!!

i really wana get my vids up aswell

[iendacard]

Thanks! I dunno man, that's weird. What's it doing when you try to upload?

[drummerdude1411]

emm it just doesnt upload haha

it gets to about 10 percent then it deceids nah im nt gna uplaod :L

[iendacard]

Hm, that sucks. :( Maybe YouTube can offer some help. Sometimes when I upload a vid it will get stuck, but it's usually when it's almost done (which sucks even more, I think.. you wait the whole time and then it craps out right at the end).

[KirkHammett131290]

there are two things that totally rock:

1. THIS SONG

2. the way you play it!!

GREAT!

[iendacard]

Haha :D Thanks!

[nikolak29]

Dude, do you keep your ride to the left!!!?? i do that to.

[iendacard]

Yep! :D

[nikolak29]

thats awesome man. i thought i was the only one to do that.

[iendacard]

Haha, thanks man. :)

[bigbossweakness]

I realy like the "well,-that-went-better-then-a­spected-ok" move at 2.33 afther the drum solo

[iendacard]

Precisely! LoL. I swear I did like 10 takes of this, and that solo was about 95% right, so I was like, "Eh, what the heck?" :)

[Tangiepoon]

haha i didnt even notice that'

[auralpeak]

I think you are a very interesting and solid drummer..your left hand reminds me bobby jarzombek

[iendacard]

Thanks! Bobby Jarzombek is a fantastic drummer, I'm glad I can even remotely remind someone of him. :) LoL

[RamosDrummer]

Dude the solo was fuckin amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[iendacard]

Thanks man. :)

[theAyax]

Nice work. I haven't heard the non-grohl version, is the drumming as good on that version?

[iendacard]

Thanks! The album version is good, but it definitely doesn't live up to the energy of the live version.

[theAyax]

You're right, the album version is not half as good as the live version with Dave God, i mean Grohl.

[KingPiousTheThird]

People overrate Dave Grohl too much...

[NYNick20]

Awesome man, I can't help but play along with your vid. This Glastonbury performance was the best live version of the song.

[iendacard]

Agreed 100%. :) If it wasn't for that performance, I wouldn't like this song as much. Haha!

[francocrash]

you look like dave grohl when in nirvana

[iendacard]

Haha, cool. :)
