PLEASE HELP ME, ive been plaing for two years! and still can't seem to get better. I can't even come close to how incrediblely sick you played. If anyone has tips please tell me.
Wow. I am 28 and I have been working on this song and Bat Country for about two months now. I have been playing for a little over a year. You played this one incredibly well. I was able to break down some of the beats easier after watching you play!! Really great job. :D
Couldn't help but notice that whenever you were doing trick sticks, you only did so with your right hand, and you started playing the hi-hat with your left...work on that left hand, son. Other than that, AWESOME. I can tell you put a lot of feeling into this, and that's what I love. Keep it up.
Dude, this is a badass cover. My friend, who's also a drummer (and is maybe three months older than you) is learning this song, and I wanted to see how you two stack up. I can now say with complete honesty that he is a good drummer. Oh, and I'm no drummer, but I think the heads on the lower pitched drums were a little loose. It might just be my speakers, but it sounded like they were kind of rattling. Either way, good job, dude.
yeah he was my idol 2. ive been plyaing a7x songs for a while, my band has a new guitarist so were playing this one for him to get the hang of it. WE MISS YOU JIMMY!!!
I almost cried when I found out Jimmy died. Avenged Sevenfold is my favorite band and Ive always wanted to go to their concerts but now I fear I will nevr get to go to one.
You know what i'm pretty sure you will. They posted a poll on facebook saying they were getting back in studios with Dream Theater's drummer Mike Potnoy to record for Jimmy. So when they'll be back on tour, it'll just not be The Rev on the drums.
yea, but it wouldnt be the same, if u know wat i meant. its sonething u cant explain. its like u getting a stepmother when ur mum die, would it b the same? (no offence)
dude this was a great tribute ignore all the haters man THE REV was amazing and i know just how shitty you feel carry on with the spins i know he loved them R.I.P jimmy sullivan good luck in the future kid hope you are succsessful
Haha i love how everyone is complaining about the stick spinning...he doesnt even do it that i much when i play this song and other slow songs i usually do it through out the whole thing to make it more fun and exciting. Great job man keep up the good work!
Wauw, Afrodude (yeah, that's you, drumkid... You're afrodude now.), this was crazy as hell! So cool :) I'm saving up money for a drumkit right now, and when I finally buy it, I might use this vid for referencce. Awesome job, man!
i thought the stick spinning was pretty sweet. the rev does it a lot and hes my idol. i do it all the time too whats the big deal if he wants to have some fun while hes playing drums?
cool dude. this is the first cover of this song ive seen so far where the drummer actually opens the hi-hat in the verse like the song goes. perfect cover dude. love the stick spinning
Im 13, and ive been playing guitar for 1 year, on august 1rst 2009 my b-day is 8-1-95 and the first night i broke the bottom string xD this is pointless telling yu, anyway, maybe you wanna join my band? call me 405-453-7362
dumbass you call it bottom string and youve been playing for a year! LOL. Its called the E string in standard tuning, maybe you should learn that Mr Guitarist LOLOLOOLOLOL
dude.........i dont read tab or sheet, i memorize my shit, and i just play and have fun with it, its something i will learn, im not sweating it, playing instruments is for making good music, practicing, and having fun while your doing it, music is my passion i just love it, just shut the fuck up, ya know, bein a juggalo, i dont play the guitar alot anyway, im usually wearing faygo and painting my face, anyway im just having fun with it ill learn eventually
i would just like to say u are quite good for someone thats only been playing for a yr and a half. i've been playing for 5 years and in a band currently. u are really good and u like A7X which is a big +. A7X is my favorite band. u totally earned my subscription. when i get my camera i will be making drum covers too. keep a look out for those. l8rs mate~!
mmmm that was average. im currently playing this song, ive just come back 2 drums from a years break and its simple. it just sounds sloppy, outta time sometimes, some wrong fills and your missing some bass drums, but apart from that its good dude, just keep working at it and then repost the final version :) 3/5
It's because the song is really easy so i juste put a little show side and it, besides, it was a kind of tribute to The Rev too since he does it in the vid.
he didnt spin his sticks every 20 seconds.... but who gives a fuck if he does....you gonna hate on rev cuz he does it?..... its called style and presence and showmanship...learn it....
For your information...1 im probably older than you...and 2 im a girl so fuck off you ASSHOLE...and 3 stop threatening me over the internet it proves NOTHING...so just shut up and go post something intelligent next time....seriously get over yourself..... "pro" music guy....
it doesnt matter who you are talking to...im not fighting...im stating the obvious....and he's OBVIOUSLY WELL UNDEREDUCATED....and talentless "musicproguy" my ass....LOL
For the tips, i can't think of any really, i haven't been playing for 2 years yet and don't even have my own kit, but apperently i have a natural talent. So all i can tell you really is to practice and, it may sound dumb but while listening to your MP3 or whatever, do some air drum to the songs you know. I always do that and i learn lots of songs that way, i just practice them on a real kit before recording them ;)
