Evan Chapman - "Holocene" by Bon Iver (Percussion Cover) *HD*

[grrreenapple]

Amazing.

[whaks7]

THIS is true talent 

[sincerelyilanaa]

i've been trying to nail holocene on the drums for the longest time, but it's almost pretty impossible to do in one take. buuut, after seeing this, any drum cover of mine won't even compare. this is flawless.

[kylenewtonroberts]

i would kill to have you play percussion in every music project i do. wow.

[BeautifulSchmootiful]

This needs more views. I don't know what other words to say. The music says it all. Brilliant work.

[mynameissssjon]

i love this so much.

[TuckMuntarbhorn]

THIS ISISISISISIISISISS SOOO GOOOOD!!!! I'm glad I found someone who loves both Bon Iver and Nils Frahm!!!

[alexa2377]

This is absolutely amazing!!!

[ANN4BELLZ9898]

im going to pray for your two friends. god bless!

[drumlvr107]

This is amazing. Thank you for combining two of the most amazing things ever - excellent percussion arrangement and Bon Iver. I swear, I will pay you money for this arrangement. Now... if I could only convince my university's percussion ensemble to play it too...

[ethiolove45]

this i beautiful just wow

[ZeroOnePaz]

Great job Evan! Btw, you need to buy one of the MalletKats I have for sale! :-D

[blahness013]

This is really nice! I think the only things that would have made it better (to me) are to emphasize that low bass line that comes right after "and at once I knew I was not magnificent"-- you know, the "da da dahhhh, da dahhhh, da dahhhh" one haha-- and to maybe record a couple of loose snares playing that accented 16th riff to get that nice layered sound. That's just me though. :) Coming from a fellow drummer, this is legit!! Thanks so much for recording my second favorite song ever!

[PokoRocks1234]

Perfect. <3

[xProfeshx]

while I was listening to this song I just felt amazing inside. lately I've been stressing over if i was going to get accepted into the colleges I applied for. For some reason, i told myself everything was going to be okay while listening to this song. 10 minutes later, i checked my submissions and i got accepted into all of the colleges i applied for! 3 words. Music Is Magic

[spreadthesmiles97]

this is awesome, is there sheet music? maybe my high schools percussion ensemble can play it :)

[abamftimeinfrance]

What kind of microphone do you use?

[3StephenClark]

No dislikes? Obviously the world is back to normal again. :)

[kimtraaan]

You are so unbelievably talented. I admire how much effort you put into your work. It's absolutely enchanting.

[cmistler13]

Dude. I love your percussion covers, but I subscribed for your drum covers. Just do what you do best.

[IKameAndKilled]

@cmistler13 I would think that one would be a little more sensitive. If you payed any attention at all you would have noticed that this guy just lost a friend. He can do whatever he wants, and as primarily a mallet and multi-percussionist, I think that his percussion covers are much more musical and beautiful than his drum covers, which I also like, just for different reasons. Imagine playing Skrillex at someones funeral, that wouldn't be somber at all.

[cmistler13]

@IKameAndKilled Thank you for correcting me. I couldn't see how insensitive and dumb I was to not see that he just lost a friend. However, every percussion cover isn't dedicated to a lost friend, so I'm a bit confused as to how you feel about his other videos as well. And if you happened to be paying attention, I wrote "I LOVE YOUR PERCUSSION COVERS". I love this song and this cover. So the next time you feel like being an arrogant dick over the internet, don't. Thank you.

[IKameAndKilled]

@cmistler13 Although you did say that you loved his percussion covers, you then contradicted yourself by saying that he needed to only do drum covers. Defending someone's choice in performance isn't being an arrogant dick. However, degrading someones performance by saying that he should stop doing them (which is essentially what you said), is. I'd rather not continue this on a video dedicated to someones life.

[Culebrrro]

simply Beautiful . God Bless You !.

[andshewaits]

This is beautiful. I had a smile on my face the whole time. I'm so sorry for your loss. This was an excellent dedication to him, though. You should offer this cover for download for 99 cents, and donate what you make to the family. I would love to have this cover to fall asleep to at night.

[saraleerenee]

"someway, baby, its part of me, apart from me" this tribute makes me smile inside and out.

[EMOneLifeBand]

More than justice... beautiful

[neurular]

What a wonderful tribute to Tony, he would have loved it.

[jimbofizzive]

Rest in peace, Tony. You truly were the best. You're going to get quite a sending off and quite a reception. You deserve this tribute and SO much more. Peace be with you.

[ysmnthelight]

The world lost an incredible human being this morning. Tony Perolio had the biggest heart of anyone I've met in my life, and he will be sorely missed by everyone who knew him. May Tony rest in peace, and I hope that he can get back on the drum set up in heaven.

[kiwiackles]

@ysmnthelight just watched his covers because of you. he had amazing covers. wonderful job. sorry for your loss. wish i got to know him too. may he rest in peace and be rocking out in heaven.

[hnstarnes]

A. i just fell in love.

B. i am so so so inspired by your creativity!!

C. as a percussionist, i can't even begin to imagine the time it took to put this together. kudos to you!
