"Rope" Drum Cover - John Watson

[Monamonand]

It's an ok cover but it needs more cowbell

[Fiakosorio]

PITCH + 1...

[MrEmiyo]

Could someone link a chart for the rythm on the ride during the chourus? I really have problems figuring out how to play it

[MRFrikDrum]

nice job ,i really like the way you play!

[realfuck109]

i just had clinic depression about a year and half, i quit music i don't know why but i just stop playing.

But now i'm trying to find inspiration watching guys like you rocking out.

Thank you very much because your video maked me smile for 4min.

you're an awesome drummer by the way, greetings from México.

[tuberinoid]

Finally, some one is not afraid to beat their drums. No love taps here. Good work, brother!

[FQM96]

Flawless. I hate people like you, your too talented!

[ConnecticutsBest]

Oh be my drum tutor. Why can I not play like this. I am bad

[kingpure456]

Looks like your hitting the cimbal with your head bro , eat cover

[IamTheWillrus]

Seriously good stuff mate, this song sounds so difficult when ou listen to it, but you made it look like a breeze! Nice job :)

[mattp7394]

Any reason why its in a different key? haha...

[MRB1568]

dude this was kick ass! good job, way to make a good song, even better!

[spiderpug]

This is an amazing 'copy cover' of the song! 10/10 although I do believe you could add some of your own little things in along the way. Some people like to cover the song exactly so you have definitely done well!

[DieselGreek]

The 16 people that didn't Like are bitter people who don't have an ounce of talent.

[rolandalonzi]

Dude, that is awesome.

[TheMikoras]

hahahahahahah how can any chump think that this is anything less than an impeccable cover? Do you people dildo your butt with drum sticks instead?

[IgNiT3xY0uRxFiR3]

jajaja unreal man... sound quality is just wow

[HEAVYbuck]

Great Job!!!! Love to see Drummers hit Hard..Well Played 5 stars

[foldy]

awesome mate awesome hard song to drum "the right way" and you did it the right way not the cheatin way like some do.......ACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Jozzor1901]

Can i ask what sticks ur using brah?

[DavidWorley235552]

i think what i like most about this video, is how much fun your having playing the song/drums

[ILIKEGUNDAM]

i like how you shake your head :D

[uhuh87]

Nice cover ... Good Work !

[Kradelit]

Great! Keep rocking!

[ventsintheedge]

Kick ass dude!

[MrFunkyOne23]

that hi-hat in the opening part of the verse sounds so DOPE

[Tiarnan1986]

man you got the style and the skills fuck the haters i love it :D

[devilraider1]

OMFG, I like...

[toasted4life420]

Good cover but spinning ur sticks and trying to be flashy doesn't make u any better or even look cool.

[dprezzo1]

@toasted4life420 Jealous much...

[igsm11]

@toasted4life420 Maybe it's not your cup of tea, but it pays the bills...

[sevamartin]

@toasted4life420 I thought him spinning the sticks was sick! And IMO, it did make him look better and look cool.

[TheMikoras]

@toasted4life420 but jealousy makes you look totally rad!

[Po0rH0b0Guy]

well done people like u drive me to drum even harder

[Po0rH0b0Guy]

well done people like u drive me to drum even harder

[rockynme]

This s great!!! I couldn't figure out the pattern on the ride. You got it down! What type of kit do you have?

[Inpatientsnake]

@rockynme how could you not know listen to the song dood

[rockynme]

@Inpatientsnake Yeah but i couldn't do it like i listened it over and over but now i got it

[Inpatientsnake]

@rockynme just gotta learn the sounds

[Jakaroo96]

You are Epic! You are Awesome! You are the best!

[thundersnare]

Great Job!

[fjdkslan]

[DmmaattiiaassD]

[southernbiker77]

12 people are half deaf.

[Slider993]

Awesome job. What A crashes do you have?

[legoben8]

SO Frickin' SICK... You Are So Good! Love This Song!

[hueyontop]

Nailed it, well done!

[SoopaMoose3]

Your the best man, teach me so much through your videos, i love the way you can really easily spin your sticks whilst playing,

your the biggest inspiration!!

Thanks,

[Dampyy]

I liked it, but your face screams out "oh yea jonas brothers". and quit the "bragging" with your stick-tricks. otherwise, great job man.

[igsm11]

@Dampyy " It ain't braggin' if you can do it..."

[xXxJarrydxXx]

@Dampyy Go on your channel, no uploads of drum videos or covers.

Being honest mate, hes got the song nailed perfectly, best shut your mouth and upload something of yourself and get 500 likes on a video before you criticise others.

[haydenh11]

@xXxJarrydxXx couldnt have said it better. its deffinately one of the best rope covers ive heard on here.

[amsmith423]

@Dampyy He's playing the song perfectly, and having a blast while doing it. Who cares what his face looks like? Music is about expressing yourself, having fun, and not giving a shit what other people think. Take some notes.

[guitarboy202]

if only u had drum mics

[JPLopes98]

Dude, you are amazing! Do you want to come to Brazil and play in my band? hahaha

[everett672]

Dude you got down!!!!! Sick !!

[captainvallejo]

[Kungeninkorea]

[KaulitzBiersack95]

[ILIKEGUNDAM]

i like how u shake your head :D



[MrWakawaka126]

That was pretty amazing. Nice kit too. Never stop having fun with it!

[juanjoelmakina]

I prefer this version to the original!

[93Towelie]

If I could choose to get grohl to play drums for my band, i`d rather choose you!

greetings from serbia

[ajtav99]

@93Towelie John is a very good drummer, with a very good technique. John, no offence to you, you are a very very very good drummer and im completely jelous lol. John is a good drummer, but daves originality in nirvana and the beginning of foo fighters, just cant be touched.. By anyone...

[juanjoelmakina]

WOW!!! THIS MAKE ME THINK SOMETHING "WHO TAUGHT U TO PLAY DRUMS??" (greetings from Spain)

[pabloguitar6]

OMG!

Great job man!

U rock! (from Spain)

[TastyCates]

@diesel2310 Unfortunately you don't mask jealousy very well.

[krasq1]

Well done, John...I think you can compare to Sacha Soloha who did the same cover here on youtube....

[diesel2310]

unfortunately you're a show off

[Bli33ard]

Great cover, has to be said, though hardest part is managing two crash cymbals during break/bridge to final chorus.

[natelferguson]

Holy Shit! If I had the money, I would pay you to be my drummer.

[Hirdy003]

You Rock! Well Done! :)

[HeyImPablo]

i need a tutorial on the ride part. it's soooo hard

[cocotods]

you own all noobs!!!!!!!1



[cocotods]

you are my idol!

[kunaikai]

dude you got that ride cymbal part perfect

[Ryoku1989]

@kunaikai I find it to be the easiest part, lol

[leonconradsebastian]

dude you should chuck some moon gel on your snare to get rid of the overtones.

but great cover mang :)

[diegogds]

I can't do the bell ride pattern at the chorus, someone can help ?

[feeren1909]

@diegogds practice...

[fmcnally]

how come this is a littel bit higher in pitch than the original?

[stevans]

Great cover dude! Love it

[Joemama057]

8 viewers are green with penis envy.

[Peppelito98]

this. Is. AWSOME! but isn't the music in the backround a little up-pitched?

[TheRevMk2]

Great cover dude, keep up the good work! I plan to upload a cover of this tomorrow :)

[lolyengz]

Wow, the bass, the drums, the guitars with a really unique chords, the vocals. This song is going to win the grammys next year.

[hockeydrummer87]

great but a little to much head bobing. lol

[luisitolindo]

AWESOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­MEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!



[jayksta77]

[MrFrost123ify]

[camjambitches]

[flames321654987]

Why is it in a different key?

[MrJonzii94]

@flames321654987 So he doesn't get done for copyright and stuff xD

[weewee123456]

@flames321654987 I think it may have been slowed down a tad.

[Pelinnor]

@flames321654987 i guess to avoid copyright issues

[rct3freak11]

You've made me seriously appreciate the drumming in this song 50 times more. This is inspiring me so much.

[t3fkdrummer]

Needs more Cowbell.

[t3fkdrummer]

You make it look easy...

[Volentry]

Great job!

[MrFrost123ify]

U wreck man.. Love the foo fighters too! Represent

[MrFrost123ify]

[stallion494]

[WillHerndon]

very nice job sir.

[gulledrum]

great song with a great drummer!

[MrPointy505]

u need to listen to the bass drum pattern on the origenal

[igsm11]

@MrPointy505 - I think he's too busy making his living playing drums...

[tomdabomb101]

@MrPointy505 you need to listen to your english teacher when they discuss how to spell "original".

[RyanGuitar3]

amazing. officially subbed.

[LillaCarl]

thank you!

[frootcherryloop]

You play better with your eyes shut too?!

[organicmilk5]

no mics??? damn sounds awesommmeee

[FighterOfFoo284]

Really good cover! You're just missing a bass drum hit during the beginning beat. The kick goes directly with the bass guitar. Other than that, its pretty spot on!

[hockeydrummer87]

amazing.

great job. It's a great song to. :)

[TheCheykha]
