Steven Chen - White Washed (August Burns Red drum cover)

[CameronTharpdrums]

Anyone who would attempt to play this song, and do it GOOD, has balls... so quit trolling

[BandaDK]

those blasts were kinda sloppy

[Testlcicles]

ANYONE WHO CAN ATTEMPT BLAST BEATS WITH TRADITIONAL GRIP IS ALRIGHT WITH ME. 

[hockeyNS1]

@Testlcicles he isnt playing traditional, but you should look up Jon karel if you want an awesome drummer who plays traditional and plays blast beats.

[axedstoninst]

@hockeyNS1 Or Nick Pierce. 

[XRiosDrumming]

good cover just id change the mallets on your pedal

[Shady25tolife]

Bro..advice. Get your ass in a band. Get famous already. What are you doing?

[TheMegaPaintballer]

i want to see vids of all you haters, cause I think this kids legit, even without triggers, so make a legit video of this then post it. Then you can talk the shit you want..

[drummer9944]

you cant here the toms properly ?

[sjholmes101]

1:55-2:00 I love fills like that! Zil-Bel quads ROCK! What size is that one? 6.5" or 9"?

[xixamxblakex]

left hand traditional grip? COME ON MAN

[RegelnDerTechnik]

PRO ! 

[az09123ize]

i finally found somthing asians arnt good at,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, blast beats and transisions from blastbeats to fills lol

[chikidrummer]

@az09123ize traditional grip blastbeats -> level: asian

[ottispunkmeyer]

okay i don't get why people freak out when they see that somebody uses triggers, triggers just pick up vibrations coming from the drumhead. okay maybe some people crank them up so they sound louder when they are really just tapping it lightly but they DO NOT increase your speed or give you better consistency. the only way you can improve those two things is by practicing and hard work. some people just want a good drum sound so they use triggers, simple as that.

[RedCl0ud22]

@ottispunkmeyer ALTHOUGH, triggers make it really easy to edit the bass drum hits to make them perfectly on beat...so you can hide your mistakes. But yeah, I still agree.

[MrLaspatillas]

good cover dude, you must show some emotion, but you play very good, for the time that you've been playing... keep that way!

[ottispunkmeyer]

2 years? don't you asians have anything better to do? great cover

[AAPowerdog]

@ottispunkmeyer what is that supposed to mean?

[ottispunkmeyer]

@AAPowerdog woah im kidding bro, calm down

[SgtBobbyboy]

that was freakin rediculious!!

[cooldude17100]

Don't like the way your snare sounds except for the rolls

[CaptainHowdySH]

The blast beat's could have been a lot better. But over all good cover man! Keep up the good work.

[tone99556]

Dang bro I love the sound of your set!!

[lindsayfive]

You need to do leveler

[mott153]

[m0lot0X]

[Slazors]

[cavssnare11]

[bejohn343]

[blinggangsta11]

[DrSuperFantastic1]

[widowwithtwocoins]

i watched this video first because you have an asain name:) i made a good choice

[gelatinslop]

show some emotion. you look like a robot

[snazygitrst]

perfect. I don't think you messed up once. this is so dope, but the bass drum sounds a little off or something I don't know but great cover.

[TheSaxDrummer123]

Hey man, great cover but you seem a little tense. Not trying to be a dick or anything but loosen up man. :)

[bloodredballoon]

amazing cover. but i truly hate your kick mic.... what kind of mic do you use and what placement of the mic do you use?

[blaze21592]

holy crap... youve been playing as long as me and u completely own everything i could do.... lol good work bro

[xEliteGaming]

loving the traditional stick holding and blasting must have taking some practice

[xmarqisoundbox]

reaaaally great!!

[rebelproductions09]

hey.. people that are trying to give this guy pointers.... i think he's good lol im pretty sure anything you tell him, he already knows.. you are freakin awesome dude. keep it up

[brandonbear1]

Traditional on the second blast? DAMN dude.

[Starsquish]

[puppetmaster6666]

asian + math= A+

asian + drums=god

[ethan2787]

you rock dude..fer real..you need to be with a big band..your talent needs to be seen alive

[CleanPlexDrumCovers]

[CleanPlexDrumCovers]

[DaltonDisciple]

srry if this has already been asked, but what kinda china r u using? sounds awesome. and great cover. props

[XxDeathzZ]

you drum faster than electricity. Amazing

[cthouseholder]

Great job!!! You just earned yourself another subsriber....ME! :)

[FLynch81]

Dude, great cover.

Talking about close quarters, I don't even think I fit on that room... not to mention me with my kit.

[shivahansi]

*_* It's just the most awesome cover I've ever seen! :D

Keep Drumming!

[Aaronduhmoron]

Nice! Feel free to see my Tap Tap Revenge version of this song on my channel!

[Shem101]

Fcuking wicked bro! respect!

[DubztructionClan]

i want this drummer!!! and a hella good guitarist!!

[MrHxCTom]

does anyone on here know what triggers do my God....they dont make you faster.....the only way to get faster is to practice

[BRAden021]

dude that was epic

[CloverfieldMonster95]

U are very inspirational and have a great taste in music. God Bless. keep workin at it :)

[Disillusionaire1324]

Spot on dude.

[FoxandthePound]

How far did you have to travel from where you originally lived before you moved to Berklee?

[derekb370z]

best cover on youtube

[CYTfreak]

Amazing cover, but the triggers man..

[never3818]

@CYTfreak i don't use them and i never will

[nic35761]

@never3818 whats wrong with using triggers (im a drummer but i havent looked into triggers)

[beefhead27]

@nic35761 they make the bass louder which equals retard logic of they make you play faster but there still kinda ehhh...

[mammallica]

@never3818 Why? I don't think you've understand what you are using trigger for? It's not because you'r getting better, and i don't think you do. But man, you'r bass drum skills sounds crappy, because you can't hear yourself! It's not about getting better! It's about hearing what you'r actually playing!! God dammit!

[AlexTheDrummer110]

@never3818 why not triggers?

[eib00n]

@CYTfreak You do realize that Matt Greiner uses triggers when he plays live right?

I honestly don't understand the stigma behind triggers.

[CYTfreak]

@eib00n I mean I guess it depends how they sound, some sound TERRIBLE compared to others.

[Razzy123]

@eib00n Yeah, for live use, I think they're a God send. They allow you to get an isolated sound out of the kick drum. You don't have to worry about mic bleed, or an idiot running the P.A. so that you have WAY more clarity with the kick drum live then if you were micing it up.

[INgLeSBe]

@CYTfreak yeah you can tell they aren't triggered, he just has the bass drum audio miked really well.

[CYTfreak]

@INgLeSBe It sounds amazing.

[DerekLikesToParty]

@CYTfreak there is a difference between mic'd really well and triggers bro. these happened to be mic'd

[JORDANROUBIQUE]

thats a small ass room lol.

[turquoiseguy]

Your traditional grip blasts are amazing and that is really hard to do. The first blasts you did were off and that is one thing you need to work on. But besides that, it was near perfect as usual!

[kiliaNcrima]

wow how much did you practise every day to become that good in about 2 and a half years?

[thinksnow686]

@kiliaNcrima his page says he played percussion since he was 8, that would definitely help his learning curve and attending the best music school in the world must have contributed a great deal. IDK though??? haha just a guess

[AmitKanfi]

YES!!!!!!!! this is what im looking for! amazing! finally this cover well done with good sound.

thumbs up + subbed

[tanx30]

@AmitKanfi check out brenttaddie's cover. Not hating on this one (awesome Breaking Benjamin covers), but brenttaddie has a much better cover of this song.

[AmitKanfi]

@tanx30 yeah i watched his cover, its sick, but i can bare the triggers

[tanx30]

@AmitKanfi Wait, you're saying he's using triggers?

[AmitKanfi]

@AmitKanfi either triggers, or horrible mixing, sounds really triggery

[theBIGmike9000]

you are utterly and truly a beast of a drummer

[hapki9]

u r an amazing drummer keep it up :)

[SawyerandHisGlasses]

Yeah, the kick sound was kick of annoying because it was more like a clicking sound.

[lekhanh94]

you did a great job man

awesome at 0:32!!!

[PurplePeanutArmadaTV]

Not really diggin the mics. I saw that you said they were stolen though. That sucks :/ the cover is amazing though, you got this down!

[brandimal7861]

great job man!!!!

[ilovesabian1n1]

happy belated 18th bday dude

[bballking183]

Amazing playing dude, i wish when i reach my couple of years of playing drums i can sound like that. I just have a quick question, why did you change from your axis/trick drums double pedal (im not sure which you had) to you current chain driven pedal and also which do you think is easier to double bass on?

[kylenang]

LOVE all your covers man, but this!... this, is something special mate!

as a fellow drummer (absolutely shit compared to you) i admire you!

[danieldrums9]

ya rides are for homos anyways

[STUCKintheBUSH]

I didnt care for the Kick mic steven, it has a weird trigger sound that seems delayed

[never3818]

@STUCKintheBUSH Yeah I know what you mean. The mic I used back home was stolen from me on my way to Boston. I'm using a different one I don't really like either now, but I have no other choice.

[Which0nesPink]

Great man. Just great. You're a talented drummer. Keep at it!

[whitehiliter]

Sorry, i'm done. Unsubbed, You are a good drummer, but you don't cover any good songs anymore.

[XxHxcDancer6xX]

@whitehiliter Wow thats a REALLY stupid reason to Unsubb. this guy is beast. good songs or not. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK MAN!!

[dinkyemg]

dude!!!!! this is awesome! I definately subscribed! :D

[glyphion]

Awesome job! It seemed like you had some trouble keeping the timing on the blasts, but overall it was really good!

[Jawshooah]

Great overall, though there are some parts with pretty sloppy double bass, but that's fixable with practice. Nice job, wish I could play like this after 2 years :)

[JaskaJunior]

lots of the db sections are off. same with some fills. not all, but 1 or 2.

[AndreasLiveForMusic]

Not too shabby, man! Not like your normal doings, but you seem to have a handle over playing this stuff. Getting better at the set that's for sure. Maybe a little more work with your blasts?

[giova1025]

AMAZING! :D

[AtazuM]

Awesome job in general, off at few spots with the fast bass, but still awesome progress ^^

Keep it up n enjoy

[officerpoopnard]

NICE! i like how u have a large range of genres

[MaxxTheWaxx]

eeppiicccccccc

[mrpenguinize]

oh wow!! congratulations man!

[jennafan14]

amazing!

[marfanskid]

Amazing dude!!!! I can't believe you've only been playing for like a couple years. How do you play the fill at 0:59 ? Is it single strokes or double?

[never3818]

@marfanskid thanks man!  that fill is all single strokes

[nic35761]

@never3818 ive been playing for tha same amount of time and im no where near as good awesome work man!

[matman142]

damn dude, you've gotten sooo much better

[Deadchicken95]

Put your ride in a place that is normal. dont say thats easier

[EvanPwnsYou]

@Deadchicken95 its all about opinion everyone sets their kit up differently

[Deadchicken95]

@EvanPwnsYou i completely agree, but when it isnt actually helping anything it seems a little stupid

[never3818]

@Deadchicken95 I like my ride there because it doesn't get in the way of my left hand when my right hand is riding. i'm not sure it really shows in this cover, but if you watch Until the End by Breaking Benjamin, you'll see what I mean.

[SonicOrbStudios]

awesome fills and a great cover.

The double bass is off at times but it's a challenging song and you did an amazing job at it.

[belgiumstefan]

Great drumming, really sick! Awful song though.. I miss your Metallica covers

[Massakre2]

@belgiumstefan D: bro ABR is AMAZING 

[thepain258]

u taped the camera to the ceiling?Attach

[fredericpoulin]

SICK BRO! PEARL GREATEST DRUM EVER MADE!

[tripleguy031]

WOW Did you take my request? (im not sure if i requested) but AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!

[Ilyasid]

Nice Cymbals, Did You upgrade?!?!?

I think they sound better then the sabian for the music you play!

Great cover man keep it up!

[2413rat]

nice job dude

[mje3ny]

when u spun ur sticks to traditional was really cool man nice cover

[turquoiseguy]

Amazing! Please do more ABR!

[holapegame]

wow nice job men!

[BandaDK]

More drum covers like this!! :D

[kssael]

Traditional grip blast like Thomas Lang? :D

[CLIFTYPOPS]

could you do a slipknot cover as this is pretty heavy :)

[CorvetteAustin24]

Great cover as always! Also a great band. I love hearing metal covers since that's my preferred musical choice, but I think it could be a good direction for you to take for your next few covers as they will certainly test you. 3 bands that you might be interested in trying to cover would be Between the Buried and Me and Dream Theater. Another great metal drummer is Chris Adler, in Lamb of God.  Keep up the good work.

[dahlinlol]

Flawless!

[SoyMiIkHero]

That room looks really cramped! Very nice cover. :D

[TheBenWelch]

I never fully understood the sheer difficulty of Matt Greiner's drumming until I tried it myself....I still can't quite hang in there! MAJOR props to you; your kick sounds stellar in this one.

..aaaannd the switch to trad grip was brilliant.

[mac167]

You must practice double bass on blast, that wasn't good :/

[NuclearPandemic]

Im not really a metalcore/deathcore/hardcore fan, but i think the drums are awesome.

Very good cover Steven. Love to see more metal covers :)

[AAPowerdog]

Epic drum cover, love August Burns Red

[mydrumblog]

love it
