Chris Wilkes Drums: My Wave - Soundgarden drum cover

[TaxidermyPress]

YES! Dude. There are some HARD rhythms in this one, and I'm sure every drummer knows how hard it is to keep up with a h.phone backing track. You are Boss!

[haguirrebena]

amazing!

[FELIPECASETTA]

Amazing, thanks to Matt for another great drum song...

[1zv]

another great cover. yeah cameron is an amazing rock drummer.

[ChrisWilkesDrummer]

@1zv Thanks for watching!



[caffeineadvocate]

Hey... You knocked me out of first place when you search 'Soundgarden drum cover'. I shake my fist at you, but also--really well done. You do my favorite song from Superunknown much justice. :)

[ChrisWilkesDrummer]

@caffeineadvocate Thanks!



[MLplayer78]

i listen to this song a lot, and your drumming sounded spot on with the original. do more soundgarden :)

[ChrisWilkesDrummer]

@MLplayer78 Thanks! Have you seen the other Soundgarden video I posted? It's called "Never the Machine Forever."

[MLplayer78]

@ChrisWilkesDrummer yeah, that was pro too

[Takrezz]

perfect!!!

[ChrisWilkesDrummer]

@Takrezz I don't know about that, but thank you! : )

[timeh343]

Hey great cover!

love the odd time signatures, what ride are you using in this? Sounds sweet.

[ChrisWilkesDrummer]

@timeh343 Thanks for the kind words! I believe the ride was a Zildjian. I'm not sure what kind of Zildjian it was b/c these were actually not my cymbals or drums.

[CaptainEdRocks]

This is the kind of cover I respect and enjoy equally. You worked on this and took the right amount of time to do it right! Excellent cover. Rock On brother! No matter how long it took it was worth it.

[ChrisWilkesDrummer]

@CaptainEdRocks It took a while indeed. But you're right, it was well worth it. Thanks for the kind words!

[cleb77]

greeeaaaaaaaaaaat!!!!!!!!!!

[ChrisWilkesDrummer]

@cleb77 Thank you!



[PabloPJ86]

Wooow the part before the second verse... fucking Matt Cameron rocks, and you do as well, what a sound man!

[ChrisWilkesDrummer]

@PabloPJ86 That part took FOREVER to figure out! It was well worth it : ) Thanks for the kind words.

[PabloPJ86]

@ChrisWilkesDrummer Don't thank me, just let me thank you for your inspiration and dedication :)

[Raptor015]

Hory shet, that was awesome. Although, you need a floor tom during the verses, and I suspect you missed 16th notes in the section at 3:45.

Other than that, it was amazing.

[ChrisWilkesDrummer]

@Raptor015 Thanks!

[gospelchops777]

Matt would be proud

[lazbogi]

That was awesome bro! Well done!

[ChrisWilkesDrummer]

@lazbogi Thank you sir!

[jlap225]

Love your snare sound. Please try Black Hole Sun and post on You Tube.

[ChrisWilkesDrummer]

@jlap225 Maybe one day....

[realityforwhom33]

Great job! try to cover pretty noose by soundgarden. Great drums in that song.

[ChrisWilkesDrummer]

@realityforwhom33 Agreed. However I'm trying to shy away from drum cover vids. I'd like to start putting up some original stuff. Thanks for watching!

[btoorrez]

Massa!!! = Congratulations in portuguese!!!

[fajaquackquack]

nice cover, but like the comment below me said you need some floor tom during the 5/4 section. also the 4/4 section after the 5/4 has some floor tom instead of a bass drum. the weird drum break section was awesome though! is matt playing in 6/ during that section while the band is playing in 4/4?

[sunderland11100]

Nice!

Today was my first class of drums. I hope to play like you!

Sorry my english is so bad...

Greetings from Argentina!

[ChrisWilkesDrummer]

@sunderland11100 Greetings! Best of luck to you. Make sure you practice on a regular basis. You WILL see results if you stay on top of your craft : )

[sunderland11100]

@ChrisWilkesDrummer Thanks for the advice!

[incaroads80]

I'd add the floor tom to the verses, but other than that the rest is almost perfect! Good job..... not like that other "pretty noose" drum cover around, which is awful!!

[mstoxxx]

RESPECT!

[ehambright]

Hells yea son :-) Its Spaz from PIVOT

[ChrisWilkesDrummer]

@ehambright Spaz!!! What's up man? How's Pivot?

[ghart1960]

rock on dude...masterful work

[jvelazqueztraut]

That was awesome.. great song and impeccable cover. Cheers Chris.

[ChrisWilkesDrummer]

@jvelazqueztraut Thank you so much!

[AleXtheWelforD]

damn you're good!:)

[pearljamcalgaryfan]

one of the best videos i've seen on youtube, prob my fav soundgarden tune i know nothing about drums but it sounds pretty damn good to me, cheers dude!

[ChrisWilkesDrummer]

@pearljamcalgaryfan Thanks bro!

[rthunley42]

Awesome! You did great, man. I always thought Soundgarden had some pretty tricky drumming, but you pulled it off!

[ChrisWilkesDrummer]

@rthunley42 Thanks! You're right about the tricky drumming. Learning this song thinned out my hair a little bit : )

[dukeljk]

Great... but matt doesn't use double kick.

[ChrisWilkesDrummer]

@dukeljk I'm not using a double kick either. What part are you referring to?

[stedrummer94]

MONSTER DRUMMER!!!!

[jonqdrum]

ya dude very solid cover, one of the most accurate i've seen.  nice job on the bridge parts as well as the ending, you seemed to get it right to the end. i can only seem to keep that part accurate for a few bars then i lose it. only critique i can see as *hudy pointed out was the tom during the verse and cameron throws in some triplets on the ride during the chorus. thats it though man great cover keep it up, cheers!

[ChrisWilkesDrummer]

@jonqdrum Thanks for the kind words! I agree that the floor-tom was left out during the verses. I'm not to sure about any triplets in the choruses. At the end of the song I intentionally left out some r.cymbal variations. That was simply to secure finishing the tune in one take : ) Those r. cymbal variations gave me trouble in the past and I didn't want to screw up my take just to add those in. Thanks again!

[jonqdrum]

@ChrisWilkesDrummer yeah you're right about the ride in the chorus, the triplets are on the outro when he goes to the ride, before they all go into their own solos

[ChrisWilkesDrummer]

@jonqdrum The "triplets" you speak of are actually just fast 16th note patterns. I think he plays them two different ways.

[RossMonster]

During the part, (It starts with Chris saying, "Don't come over here..."), Matt uses the floor tom alongside the kick to deepen the sound. It doesn't chase the bass pedal, it's like 1 hit, 2 hits, 1 hit, etc. Everything else was good. Also, if my comment was really hard to understand than I apologize, but it's hard for me to explain without showing you what I mean.

[rfhudy]

Very nice! I've seen a lot of bands/drummers put covers of this song up on YouTube, and most of them are pretty bad - especially at that little bridge after the 2nd chorus. My only critique of this would be that I think Matt C. plays the floor tom during the verse, adding a little more "ooomph" to the groove, but overall a terrific job - Thumbs up!

[DrummerSGX92]

@rfhudy Correct, he does use floor tom on the verses, but great job this has to be one of the songs that haven't really gotten correctly at all.

[ChrisWilkesDrummer]

@rfhudy Thanks for the kind words. I think your right about the verses : )

[MsMatsunaga]

YOU SHOULD DO ONE OF SUPERUNKNOWN!!!

[ChrisWilkesDrummer]

@MsMatsunaga Hmmmmm...maybe so : )

[orionmohuse]

I'm a big fan of odd time, so I'm glad to see it implemented in more "mainstream" genres. I hate that word. 5/4 has a nice groove, doesn't it?

[ChrisWilkesDrummer]

@orionmohuse 5/4 can definitely have a nice groove to it. I believe it grooves the most when the beat is constructed with that sole purpose. Sometimes I feel like musicians just want you to know that they're playing in 5. You know what I mean?

[clebus]

good playing, one of my favorite Soundgarden songs

[ChrisWilkesDrummer]

@clebus Thanks man!

[clebus]

@ChrisWilkesDrummer your welcome, tricky song you've got it right
