[tao1986]

[norjansonjoe]

How do your toms sound so good?! Mine are sooo resonant, they just ring out, no matter how many times I try to tune them, it's so annoying. I love your covers though.

[microguts]

@norjansonjoe basically all toms have that sort of resonance to them, it's just that when you mic'em up and set the levels,, it doesn't get caught too well.

[drummerjmp]

Dave Grohl called, he wants his style back

[guyshocks]

perfect verse. so crisp like crispen glover or danny glover :)

[jehano1]

[ThatsWhatSheSaid0012]

That was awesome! Reminded me a lot of Dom and Roger Taylor.

[psalm6teen]

so if you have a piece kit, then why do you only use 2 toms? i do the same thing with my kit lol its a 6 piece and i only use 10" tom and 14" f tom

[willlovestodrum132]

would you consider getting a deeper snare, to go with those deeper toms ?

[koekie1337]

02:01 first I thought my pc was lagging it and fast forwarded :' )

[DaCrazyOne300]

how much did your dw kit cost you

[benpowellfforddlas]

The drum kit I bought was a 6 piece -

DW Collectors Series - 8,10,12,14,16 & 22

That alone cost £3,500 with no hardware, cymbals, or snare!

[fisherman4000]

did u save up or what i want to know

[rhm1995]

those drums sound real good

[jeppo40]

your awesome! great work!

[leftyJR3]

im really impressed, not only by the time, effort, and ability; but the intensity is really refreshing to see. some of these stiffs on youtube think that they cant show some emotion while drumming. not you, sir. keep up the good work

[flipjipper]

Nice. Really tight.

[QuesoKing]

Awesome! Dom is definitely one of the best drummers on the planet (and maybe off the planet as well).  You nailed it! Great song!

[acdcrocks1995]

i can't stop watching this! amazing!!

[BonzoMondo]

Like the cymbals dude!

[Seathal]

Amazing cover, gotta say.

How did you set up your mics? 4 dynamic ones for the drums and bass drum and two air ones for the cymbals? How did they cost you aprox?

[wilyjameson]

very good cover from this song (my favorite.)

[dumbnumbnhappy]

wow those drums sound good

[TheBirdyyeses]

shit, you freakin' blew my mind, and those are amazing sounding drums

[mopar4t4]

[stnorrkencu]

Nice job man!:) Watch my Take a bow guitar cover if you wish:)

[davethegrimreaper123]

What mixer or audio interface do you use 'cause I'm really impressed with how your drums sound, and also do you EQ your drums on a PC or just straight through the mixer

Awesome drumming also, still working on this song

Fill at 2.03 :)

[benpowellfforddlas]

Yo man, i mix all the drums on the mixer. Then I do edit the overall sound on my Mac. Deffo get some mics though!

[snoppfisk]

You did'nt miss a thing. good job /another drummer

[daveydinodave]

[benpowellfforddlas]

22 x 18 - Bass Drum

Thanks for watching

[trocker92]

wow

[lucianabr]

fucking great man!!!!

[kieranfieldoufc]

great cover

good luck on your jobfinding

[Sociopatrol]

Very well done. The fills are annoying to play for me in this song, mostly the bass. But, you did well.

And you got to hit me up on how you tune your snare. It sounds amazing.

[benpowellfforddlas]

I use Remo Emperor X, Snare heads they have a good attacking sound.

The best way to make you snare sound good is to experiment. I have my bottom skin a light tighter than the top. Also make sure the snares aren't on too tight, just get that sweet spot.

Also I am using microphones. which improves your sound alot.

[ericormathias]

aaaawesome man, i wish I had your technique...and your kit haha

[richnegrete]

kick ass, dude. GOD MUSE IS SO GOOD!!! LOVE THE NEW ALBUM. TRY RESISTANCE

[erimot]

love it. great job.

would you like to do assassin? ^^

[benpowellfforddlas]

Yea deffo, but the bass drum is a bitch at the start of the song! I will learn it eventually. MK Ultra next though

[Theincredibledrummer]

You read my mind!!! Also man can you try Knights of Cydonia?

[Mareeba06]

Finally a fuckin great drum cover! You also have a really good style man! U don' t move like a beginner...very very very good! Soon I'll put my cover and U have to tell me what do u think about it! Rock on

[kiwikemart]

you rock man... your drums sound amazing

[k4rltee]

its his playing man the mics jus make it amplified haha

[wargasm27]

bloody briliant !!!!

[ryguy000]

Wow your drums sound sweet!

And it's 100% spot on with the song. Nice job there.

[Justrhythm8]

A* top drummin Ben and great song choice! ;)

[ZelenaBananaa]

great sound man

keep it up (Y)

[rasm5574]

Good to see that you really like playing drums :D Very well done :)

[liureturns]

Wow!!! Your drums sounds cool!!!

Nice cover men! 5/5!

[primierdrums95]

fuck man I love the sound of your whole

set!!

you kick ass man!!

do a cover of Resistance!! =D

[0Lewis0]

You might want to watch the cross-stick/ride intro. Your hands don't quite sync up and it comes out a little too flam-y. Other than that, it's great to see someone on Youtube with energy. Your kit reminds me of Jason McGerr's, and your playing reminds me a little of Dave Grohl. Very nice.

[nikovich]

Dude , you think you can try Map of The Problematique and MK Ultra ?

Amazing work man...

[nostall]

mic?

[Chubsterwoo]

AMAZING!!

[thedistrict3]

you remind me of coldplays drummer lol

[SuperUprising]

nice work man..but i can barely hear the bass drum

[baymon83]

hell yeah!! Well done sir. That drum cover is indeed kick ass!

[iHaTeNoooBz]

[Kueller917J]

Doing Unnatural Selection? I've been wondering how that song will look like, even though I'm not a drummer

[phanhuybach14]

[PPDrummer100]

[ddrum182]

[nikovich]

Oh yes :-) Loved it mate. Hope you can do my fave song Map Of The Problematique next !

[bigfatmattwoody]

[Eyelet2007]

Awesome cover! Love Muse's new album. Wish I can learn as fast as you. Can you cover "I belong to you" and "Unnatural Selection?"

[rasuk]

WHAT THE FUCKING WHORE MAN.

YOU MUST BE CHUCK NORRIS IN DISGUISE! OR EVEN THE BEAR JEW.

Respect man, Even Big Boss would salute you.

[Eddyfagay]
