[TryingToSurvive21]

[vadrumrocks]

these mics are so fricken clean!

[FakeSmileRevolution]

@vadrumrocks And therefor not cheap :(

[psbp123]

I am not a real drummer myself. Just used to play a bit during college. But I didnt know it is possible to play the bass pedals so fast. I dont think I can even run that fast with my feet if I wanted to. Is there a secret?

Btw, the point is you are AMAZING and that is an understatement by itself.

[D3m190d]

@psbp123 Well, double kicks make it a lot easier, allowing you to use both feet.

[AlterBridge11]

@FakeSmileRevolution Which heads do you use on the snare, bass drum, and on all of the toms?



[FakeSmileRevolution]

@AlterBridge11 There're all Evans Hydraulic Black (Snare coated). On the backside Resonant Black

[Dhita93]

GREAT !!! LIKE THIS

[HabisiAku]

man this is super awesome !!!!!!!

[Motorsamsung1]

nice. double bass incredible. 

[spazdmunky]

Fucking finally. A metal drum cover i think im in love with your take a little more than the vadrum version because its more to the style i play myself. Awsome mate

[FakeSmileRevolution]

@spazdmunky Thx man, the Vadrum version is a little bit more dynamic since it is no metal. But cool you understand my style :)

[CaseyGreen19]

[jf506]

[FakeSmileRevolution]

[TheMalavida77]

[Rossco9992]

Awesome work!

[zacharyvanantwerp]

this is fucking sick. but all of your cymbals sound the same. except your chinas, i wish there was more definition to them this would be amazing. but everything else sounds so good. i love your toms and you're bass drums and snare. you play so perfectly in time. very very good job

[FakeSmileRevolution]

@zacharyvanantwerp thx dude!

[JCustomZ]

can anyone tell me what cymbals those are

[FakeSmileRevolution]

@JCustomZ Mostly Paiste Alpha. The 16" and 18" crash on the right hand side are brazilian Orion Revolution Pro (rare stuff here in Germany btw.)

[JCustomZ]

@FakeSmileRevolution thx. great cover. btw

[SonOfTheSystem]

@JCustomZ Probably old Alphas, there is many diffrent Alphas out now, the Rock Alphas are my favourite :) Great drumming FSR!

[MsWhiteshark]

[FakeSmileRevolution]

@TheJarhead133 "Hydraulic Black" on all (BD, SD, Toms), Coated on the snare, "Resonant Black" on the bottom side.

[GateKeeper7337]

Love the kit. You're very skilled. Very clean and accurate when you play.

[FakeSmileRevolution]

@GateKeeper7337 Big THX for that. Accuracy is my little baby so I like it when people realize it :)

[badoosh12]

When I came to this video, I was going to look up something else after, but now after watching it, I can't remember what it was.

[FakeSmileRevolution]

@badoosh12 Sorry that I messed up your searching intentions :P

[paperboy12346]

This is amazing

[ikarooz]

Great tribute to an awesome game and Vandrum. Digging your kit. YOU ROCK

[FakeSmileRevolution]

[idreamtofflight]

[Flyffer2011]

You have all Stolen from vadrum

[FakeSmileRevolution]

@Flyffer2011 Funny conversation... hihi... You dudes never read the first sentence of the video description, didn't ya? "Super Mario metal interpretation by Fake Smile Revolution. ---> INSPIRED <--- by the awesome Vadrum!"

[STR1KERAUT]

@Flyffer2011 shut up noob

[MarcAntoineVezina]

are those onyx heads?

[FakeSmileRevolution]

@MarcAntoineVezina Nope, Evans Hydraulic Black

[MrAdamJosh]

Haham Awesome job man! Love it.

[DrumSkinn]

dude congratulations you are a great drummer and that is the best metal cover of mario bros that i have ever seen... keep going like that you are great and nice speed on you`re feet...

[Nuevametal]

very niceee!

[1narugera]

nice work! i liked so much!

[kevinfidow]

tocas muy sucio mano... q mal se oye eso q mal!! yo se q es metal pero no exageres se màs ordenado :)

[DrumSkinn]

@kevinfidow mira vos este fue el unico comentario que me parecio realmente estupido en primer lugar eso no es tocar sucio eso es tocar con habilidad presicion y rapidez un buen baterista reconoce un gran talento como este pero por lo que miro vos solo son un ignorante mas q no sabe nada de como tocar metal y das mucha pena...... mejor ahorrate estos comentarios que de nada sirven y metete a estudiar bateria para que aprendas a diferenciar lo que es tocar sucio......

[kevinfidow]

@DrumSkinn esta es solo una copia barata de vadrum meets no eso es solo tocar por tocar no me gusta y si a vos si es tu punto de vista y no lo juzgo La velocidad no tiene nada que ver con la musicalidad. Es cierto, ayuda el ser veloces, pero mejor trabajemos en nuestra lectura, postura, versatilidad, coordinación, estilos, fraseo, sonido, actitud, responsabilidad, buena vibra y humildad, no desperdiciemos el tiempo estudiando velocidad

extrema

[marflixs]

@kevinfidow i aggre

[FakeSmileRevolution]

@kevinfidow I'll provide a "HATE"-Button on my website for you :D

[DrumSkinn]

@kevinfidow pero si lectura hablamos porfavor vs q sabes si el escribio cada golpe q da en una partitura y se la aprendio vs no sabes eso...y si vs tuvieras un poquito de humilda no le hubieras puesto ese comentario a el de esa manera.. pero como decis vos cada quien tiene su punto de vista y no hay que pelear..

[thatoneguy73]

great cover man! really like how accurate ur bass is. whats the cymbol above ur 3rd tom?

[brainstretcher11]

so cool!!!

[guiyommmm]

sehr geil =) Greetings aus Frankreich

[drumy83]

Very good !! C'est tres basé métal, et ça n'en sort pas c'est ça qui est bon !!! jusqu'au bout on dirait un bon gros slayer !!

Bravo, les frappes sont d'une clarté impressionnante !!

[fito362]

Hijo de la grán puta!!!!!!!!

[kuyaken0303]

wtf? your one hell of a drummer!

[TheDom1328]

nice drumset..but i can only hear is more on double peds and cymbals..

[FakeSmileRevolution]

@TheDom1328 As I wanted it to be :) It's not very "Tom-Heavey". Focus is definitly on the double bass in this one.

[MissTeresa27]

I got here from watching Vadrum mario bros drum cover and i was blown away! fucking amazing dude ! I thought, all you need is a blast beat and then there it was :D and by the way , your drums sound sick!

[YUNGBLEED30]

NOW DATS WAT U CALL DRUMMIN!!!!

[ljacks27]

very nice, loved the super mario 2 blast beats around 2:50! great job man!

[pettesisterna]

is fantastic, can you send me your drum track without the original song, to make a weird contribution :) , i would lke record the song in a very freaky selection of instruments :D

[kevinbergerful]

i must say that i agree with trizzHHS

[AceySucks6606]

3:24 thrash!!!!!!! :D

[Kantoffelmann]

Vadrum is best of best

[ransisua]

bloody fuckin hell. This is a great sounding drums. And great playing too.

Good job.

[trizzHHS]

Really great! Sick control on your bass too! Not trying to be negative or anything, but just in reply to some of the other comments: the bass isn't that fast. Don't get me wrong, nice speed and really clean, but "fastest"? I think the majority of drummers who own a double pedal or 2 bass drums can play at this speed. Having said that, great cover!

[FakeSmileRevolution]

@trizzHHS thx, great post! i want to add 2 things. your right, most of the track is at 200 or 220bpm. this is pretty standard and after 2 years of training every drummer can do this really well. the 6/8 in the middle of the song ist at 245bpm and there i would say: no, this is not a common speed. it's really fast and not everybody can play it. second: speed is one thing (the easy one in my opinion) but accuracy is the more important part. only if you play accurately, you're a good drummer...

[trizzHHS]

@FakeSmileRevolution

You're absolutely right, I caught myself exaggerating when I said "majority". I 100% agree, as I wrote in my first comment, that accuracy/cleanliness is more important than speed. Your speed is very good too, and I shouldn't have made it sound average. Maybe I wasn't paying attention for a the 6/8 section, but I just went and watched it. I guess the point I was trying to make is that some of the other comments were blowing the speed way out of proportion.

Keep it up =P

[Dieterbe]

that was tight and fast. how did you record snare and toms? are those special heads with triggers in them?

[FakeSmileRevolution]

@Dieterbe Hehe, no... see the little Mic on the 3rd Tom? My cam has an incredible shitty contrast, I know. Toms are miced with Audio Technica Pro 35 and the snare mic is a Beyerdynamic Opus 88 on top and a SM57 on the bottom. Heads are Evans Hydraulic Black.

[StephenMcCabeMusic]

Is this quantized or are you a robot? Haha, still sick either way.

[FakeSmileRevolution]

@StephenMcCabeMusic You can't quantize real drums I think. Your overhead and room mics catch up the sound of the bass drum and so it would sound quite shitty. But I never tried it. My bass drum is miced with 2 mics, one on the batter and one on the resonance head. Then it's mixed the normal way and then a triggered sound sample is mixed into the sound so it sounds more evenly. It's a technique used by most metal tracks. Some even mic the bass drum an trigger it with a Roland TD-20 or so.

[StephenMcCabeMusic]

@FakeSmileRevolution You can use Melodyne to quantize just about anything. Overdubbing with triggered samples makes sense, good stuff.

[FakeSmileRevolution]

@StephenMcCabeMusic But if you quantize your bass drum track, you have the unquantized bass drum still on the other tracks like room mics, don't you? I can't quite believe that this can work... then you have to gate the bass drum out of the other mic-tracks or something like that. Don't know... BUT: If someone has to quantize his drum tracks he shout first learn this freakin instrument so he does not need to...

[dbbdrummer94]

dude, seriously, you are like the worlds fastest double bass drummer... Evans black onyx? right on! I bought mine cuz i thought they looked cool, but they have a really nice sound... what kind of cymbals do you use?

[kirbyy]

tight playing

[TheBudhistpunk]

You should tell the person on the typewriter to stop typing while you play.I imagine this is what hell is like...

[iamMuhammadWhite]

double or TRIPLE PEDAL??? LOL

[FakeSmileRevolution]

@iamMuhammadWhite Nope, no triple ;) ... only 2 bass drums and tama speedcobra pedals... and a lot of practice...

[eliezer0602]

your double peddaling is sick!!!!!!!
