Really nice cover! Just next time, tighten your bass head a little more. I watched with headphones and at least to me, it wasn't tight enough and overwhelmed everything. I like what you did in fills and a solid cover overall!
@njnetsfan524 For the price, the DW3000 stand is good, but I'm already thinking of upgrading to the 9000 haha. It's more stable than a lot of stands but there is still some wobble that the 9000 doesn't have. Thanks for the feedback!
okay, so im trying to learn this song, i have most of it down, just the parts that are like 0:27 - 0:37 how many times u hit cymbal, between the snare? is it kick, cymbal and kick, kick, cymbal snare? whats the pattern its making me confused. Please help!
@famousmoney123 its really simple, crash on all quarters, 1 2 3 4, snare on 2 and 4, and bass drum on all 8th notes except 2 and 4. so it goes like this **crash bass, bass, crash snare, bass, crash bass, bass, crash snare, bass
@famousmoney123 I just type a reply with the drum tabs, but it give me an error every time I try to post. Anyway, @goodnamepending explained it well, except the pattern is B-B-S-B-B-B-S-B-B-B-S-B-B-B-S-B-B-B-S-B-B-B-S-B-B-B-S-B-B-S-B-S. Good luck with it!
@johnkew Lol isn't that the same pattern I explained? (except you put in 4 bars, rather than the single 1 bar pattern) I love your videos by the way, you seem very dedicated to learning the songs.
@goodnamepending It sure is the same, haha. I thought you were missing a bass drum note in there, but now I see you just combined it with the crash :)
Dude, thanks for the message, I'm really glad you showed me this because you nailed it. I'm subbing for sure, keep up the great work!!
I'm planning on doing this cover in a couple weeks when I buy my friend's 7 string off of him, but if it takes too long I'll try it on my ibanez, it would be great if you checked it out when I get it up!
@majestytd In this video I was trying out a pair of Bower-Wilkins C5s . They sounded great but weren't good for drum monitoring (clunky microphone on the cord, and not very good sound isolation). Now I have a set of Shure SE315's ($150), and they are excellent. I have also used cheaper Klipsch Image S4 ($80), and they did a decent job with foam ear replacements.
its probably the camera, but your arms seem to move a little slow. its all in time though. i like it :) you should venture into some more post-hardcore music!
If you covered a Breakdown of Sanity song (preferably December) I would literally lick your nut sack. Even if you hate the music, dude you would cover that so nicely.
@codybumper Dude that album is so good! It's funny you mention December because I have that and Infest in my 'wish list' of songs to play. Good choice! (Spare me the favors though, LOL :D)
Oh, man, Im defiantly subbing now. I really hope you cover those! Hey if you like bands from Switzerland (Breakdown of sanity) then you should check out scream your name. They are still extremely unnoticed and it bothers me cause they are so awesome!
@johnkew Yea there are awesome. As a drummer myself we used to play Pull harder on the strings of your martyr at shows and it was one of my favorites to play. Could be a good one to do.
@OblivionGTR Another great suggestion - I bought Trivium's album not too long ago and I'm still previewing the songs. But definitely something from that album.
@HeisW140 That side camera is an iPhone with a cheap little fisheye attachment I got on Amazon for $20. It attaches with a magnetic strip, and you can use it on any cheapo handheld camera with a flat lens. It has all kinds of barrel distortion and vignetting, but it's part of the charm.
@johnkew Cool thanks. My overhead Canon uses a fisheye, and the side uses a wideangle lens taped on the front :-)
I liked that angle - my shots are always distant and felt they make the vids seem impersonal or clinical. Not that I want my face up close, but it may help the connection between myself and the few folks watching. Thanks again :-)
Got a quick question about a closeup camera situated near your hihat possibly in the past - it was close, yet gave a nice wide view...i have 2 currently & may get another cheapy for a front profile cam.. what was the camera you had for that angle? I have a big canon like yours for overhead and a handgrip panasonic for a side view. I cant get them close because they need distance to get the kit in frame. need a inbuilt wideangle or something.
@johnkew yes i did, mine was actually taken down once, you have to file a dispute with copyright laws giving the proper credit. :P it seems to be working fine now though!
awesome job! excellent playing and editing as always. check out between the buried and me, death metal band but they mix so many different styles of genres in one song, very challenging but a lot of fun to play since 1 song can consist of many genres, from jazz to tech death and from country to blue grass, pretty sick shit.
Though I'm not the biggest fan of this band, your cover was awesome as always. I guess I prefer my metalcore to be more influenced by classic heavy metal as opposed to punk. If you're looking for other metalcore bands to cover in the future, I'd recommend All That Remains (particularly anything off their "Fall of Ideals" album), or Periphery (they're probably more prog/experimental metal, but metalcore elements are definitely present).
@kcbszone Thanks Kacey - I'm glad the video wasn't blocked for you! I work pretty close to home, so I come home for lunch for an hour or two three times a week, and maybe squeeze in an hour or two on the weekend.
@LandonSugarDrums Thanks dude - I tried to watch your video too but it gave me a message "this video is blocked in your country". Bummer, it happened to you too.
@ACardFan Thanks, and for sure I'll cover more metal. By the way, where are you watching from? I just got a note that this video is blocked everywhere except Haiti and Azerbaijan :\
