[Rastard12345]

Great drumming! I like it lots.

[martin750hp]

There is no double bass, in or double foot bass, in IRON MAIDEN but keep practicing you need it, cause if you listen to the song( nick) plays a much different way than you do, and we know you don't play as good as him but, keep trying!!!!

[AterASactuS]

Mster.!!1 tocas como si tubieras 20 Tio!!!!! |m|

[14razgriz]

great job mate but i think PAiSTE cymbals would sound a bit better

[capoenhalflife]

great job really awesome

[capoenhalflife]

ok great cover

[themailman4fw]

what you did was very good, but that cover seemed to lose all character and emotion from the song, just 100mph from start to finnish. become the song, dont overun the song!

[mrbeatrice1]

estilo feio de tocar, o nicko prende os ouvidos e os olhos vendo-o tocar!!!!! esse amigo faz o basico, mas sem mutio a acrescentar a nenhum baterista!!!!!!Me parece muito preso....

[mrbeatrice1]

fica muito longe do nicko!!!!!!! mas muito mesmo, outro estilo, sem comparações!!!!!

[TheMoonchild1969]

Yeeeaaahhh Nicko you re the man!!...Oh no wait is the other guy, Uuumm...yeah bro great stuff.

[EdwardHunter666]

Up the Iron's \m/

[bykabuki]

Wow, really really nice work! Go on!

[NEOPHYTJUDAS]

Not at all impressive. Very monotonous. Nico's version is far too exciting.

You play good drums though. Seems like you are in some kind of symphonic band. Cheers from India.

[TheDonrogers]

great but why the double bass????

[Cemersonkid]

double bass ruined it just saying a little too much

[bonzo5526]

Oh man...thats really really great.....nice....very good work....my words left me....amazing

[uncletom1987]

nice, i like it!

[Felixgyhz9]

thats fucking freaking amazing !

Du bist ein Gott der Wahnsinn

[djalmada]

You are an excellent drummer and it seems that you really enjoy what you are doing, however, i'd loose the double bass on this one...

[jokerhateme]

Metal Version of Dumbledore :D

[ArraTonks]

You look like you're having fun

[MrDrummertheo]

@ArraTonks

Oh yes, I have it....smile

[WarriorHeavyMetal]

[bruno92559]

doido ñ sabe tocar The trooper

[tamawood95]

sick cover!

[littlejimmyjames]

not bad at all mate. keep up the good work.. as others have said you made a few changes that jarr with our memory of the song but hey...if we had heard your version first..

[regwatson2002]

Nice Chops!

[blackopsmaniac99]

great cover

[JorgeFuenla96]

your are the fucking best maaan.

you're like to lars ulrich. xD

[Hellwyck]

@JorgeFuenla96

That's not really a compliment.

[Karmoon7]

It's a great cover. You're clearly a great drummer.

However, the changes you've made do show how perfect the original version is.

There are some bands who you can alter when covering, and others who you should just defer to their genius. Iron Maiden are definitely the latter. I think the improvements you've made compromise the coolness of the song very slightly.

None the less, great playing :)

[MrDrummertheo]

@Karmoon7

Thank you very very much for this kind of words.......

[rockjazzbluesfunk]

@MrDrummertheo @Karmoon7 Better than the original.

[HangarOFmetaL]

Eehm nice improvisation.... This isn't a cover anymore.

I agree with @RedBarrr0n - Are you perhaps a lumberjack?

Nice improvisation!

[theseeringlight]

Still amazed how you nail these songs with such precision and effort....your work is just amazing...

[morbidgaloucura]

Tem uns contra tempos mais ficou muito massa.

Show de bola

[Plektrum1997]

Geil, geil, geil! Richtig gut gemacht kann ich da nur sagen.

[MrDrummertheo]

@Plektrum1997

Wow, vielen Dank.....

[simaironmaiden]

Omg,phosil on drums :D

[Danilohah]

FFFFFFOOOOOOOODDDDAAAAAAAAAA PPPPPRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAA CCCCCAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRAAAAAALLL­LHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!

[guitarsss1231]

Toooka mt Omg

[naytdawg]

Its nice to see you play the double bass from the live version, once i learnt the love version i never played studio the same!

Im a subscriber, keep it up!

[baterapleasuremaker]

O cara pode até ser bom baterista, mas minha crítica vai pelo "cover"... O Nicko não usa pedal duplo e além disso, se vai fazer cover, presta atenção quando é tempo ou contra-tempo, senão descaracteriza a música.

[warhammerrokz14]

your awesome man! you just got yourself a sub :)

[bbub123]

you are my favorite drummer no questions asked

[Soulendeavor]

Yeah, Very cool! You rock man! Check out my vocals for this tune on my page!

-Steve

[RedBarrr0n]

Are you perhaps a lumber jack?

[johnmartinerik]

Triplets on the ride IDIOT!! 

[johnmartinerik]

Stay pop grandpa!

[phrd33]

Congratulations

[brettmac89]

Mr Drummer Theo, that was amazing and inspiration :)

[frkrmr]

[drush2112]

great cover man, you're a great drummer!!!

[Tyme2Die]

You are like the heavy metal drumming grandpa i never had.

[666Ghostify]

Good Man

[acousticcoverdude]

WTF wivthe vocals!!! Just dont sound right double bassing bro.. !!

[IronmaidenFreak99]

who the hell is singing in this song? its not iron maiden unless bruce's granny felt like singing

[1GuGaMarques1]

What agony to see all the pieces in front of him. I think I should not have much space on the sides of him.

[mrdhibbribs]

sounds like way too much kick pedal in there but other than that its a great cover :)

[markt360]

Yikes....really bad dude.

[Matte1829]

Esta versão eu acho que você inventou, você acha que pode escrever melhor do que Nicko McBrain na bateria? Sua loucura é demais, a menos que você pensa que é melhor ... Versão Originalnem usa muita distorção na guitarra e bateria versão de "você" inventou nada tem a ver com o original. Mas você tiro da onde sua habilidade?? Desculpe por tudo ali ^^^^ mas você toca bem!!

[Matte1829]

Que vocal horrível, fuuuuuuuuuu.

[Matte1829]

This version I think you invented, you think you can write better than Nicko McBrain on drums? Its crazy, unless you think it is better ... Originalnem version uses much distortion on the guitar and drums version of "you" invented has nothing to do with the original.

[Stopschildfrau]

beautiful playing and hair!

[skotnop3]

Sehr Sehr geil! Kannst du auch Double Bass? ;D

[leunam321321]

Very good song, but in the chorus, did not add the primary voice, are only the second by down and the second by top, sorry about my english, but i speak spanish, i hope you understand me, lucky! and! long live to rock and roll!

[wison92]

DE Q SOS MUY BUENO NO HAY DUDAS !! JEE , PERO Q NESECIDAD DE METER UN DOBLE PEDAL EN ESTA CANCION, NO ES NESESARIA TANTA FRUTA JEE !!

[bhykthor77]

i am a maiden fan for 21 years and normally do not like the versions are actually very few, but this one I really liked this version sounds really heavy but without losing the essence you totally kick ass

ps: this is for those who made absurd comments is the original version if you want to listen to the album

[akymychy6666]

prefiro o modo original !!

[dagpettergilje]

you do the kick playing faul

[AgulordLH]

Dude!!! That´s just great! The best part is that you love it!... One can tell, from the way you play... You just LOVE that music! Thats what makes it sound so great!... You can Play it perfectly, but you have to LOVE IT to play music!

[MJCG1088]

Hey, I love the drum kit and a great cymbal sound :) I think that there are loads of utterly horrible comments on here telling you to repeat the cover and that you're rubbish on this kit and I think it's awful. Well played, you're a good drummer, don't listen to the idiots telling you otherwise! Keep going, love the sound you make on the kit :)

[MrArena31]

Of NO, this is the Return of the Riding Dead Zombies - Please give the Drum-Sticks return to Mr. Nicko McBrain!!! Sorry!!!

[Malygos84]

WOW

AWESOME

[therevengeofficial]

i love to hear anyone but you play this drum set..

[janick54]

[BlackLamb93]

Grandpa Thrasher!!

[lucasroses1]

[MrDrummertheo]

@lucasroses1

[axedstoninst]

@MrDrummertheo wow! nice drum set! love the meinl!

[TheASBMASTER]

by singing it yourself

[theratfarmer]

a lot of people don't play this because the can't. the guitar too.

[theratfarmer]

ludwig snare and  zildjan cymbols.

[MrMdr96]

SICK SET!!!!! im not much for AA meinl but they sount amazing........can you tell me what mics your using and what software me and my friend r gona start recording som tracks and i wuld love 2 have that sound pleeze reply

[senne6609]

Good Job Man!

[bigtaxdizzle]

its cool but way too much on the ride maybe some of the bell of the ride and some high hat. lots of energy needs some touch though

[samy97ish]

very god sound!



[samy97ish]

cool drumset, cool song ,your kind to play this song is so cool!!(i can not good english)

[Plektrum1997]

oh du kommst aus meooen^^

liebe grüße aus cloppenburg :)

[Plektrum1997]

that was so nice! and i like your hair ;)

[kikotrade1]

i like this video because he is having fun and thats cool, playing a cover with your fuckin nice drum and having fun thats nicee!!!

[deloreansuite]

you play it unreal! your a great player. cardinalllnfected this guy is a great drummer watched a load of clips he done TOTO unreal.... i hate this bullshit guys making bad comments. let them put clips up themselfs! theo keep it up!!!!!!

[dashmaul]

Just found this one

watch?v=kLRsu-P0vfk

Thought it was funny :-)

[shadow9434]

dude you just killed it that was so sick and awsome plus i like your style and interpretation

[shadow9434]

dude you just killed it that was so sick and awsome

[Hielkenator]

If nico ever need to be replaced....let them give you a call.

[TheSmolderingfire]

diffrent... extremly diffrent

[iceydanpowns]

wow every cover i see by you is exellent, i love how you put your twists and dont just play the music on the sheet. great job!

[slashdelbarrio]

I like the double bass, the song definitely has space for it and it is frustrating sometimes listening to the original without it, yet I think you should have used more the bell of the ride, crashing it so much annoys me! Excelent overall though

[ebomoh]

sweet!!! nice drumming! what interface and mics are you using?

[thecornster]

well i like it you definately made it your own.....but, its a bit to different from the original, you play it without alot of the fills, then put fills where they don't need to be, and if i'm not wrong your playing the bass drum on a double pedal, which just sounds out of place, its a little too much, lovely drum kit, and you are a very accomplished musician, but overall i'm just not feeling this one mate...sorry!

[metalac665]

WTF? dude u own like HELL!

[dudy71]

I`m no fan of Iron Maiden but this is drumming is really nice. Job well done! Ignore the haters :)

[drumXDable]

wow,....i better get a drum kit first......

[metalmaster126]

You are talented, yes, but I think you ruined the song somewhat, I am all for adding your own fills and grooves to the song but I feel you have to keep certain bits the same, other than that, Awesome cover =p

[TheMaidenFan96]

special... but ... good

[YiannisMetallas96]

do you use double bass, or double pedal???

[WWE1997Andreas]

yeah great song good work man keep going

[Drummerboon]

here you see you the best example that you don't need Sabian/Zildjian cymbals,

AA Meinl rockss

[HARDKISS3]

DRUM MACHINE YEAHHHHHHHHHHHH¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

[ianrwood21]

Another excellent drum cover - keep 'em coming, great stuff

[lucata10125]

double kick in a Iron Maiden' s track? oh well

[GoerdingscapePK]

@lucata10125 It's a cover dude.

[SexyJackass]

@lucata10125 Not everyone is Nicko.

[Weegee9003]

kick ass

[rambomamimbo]

realy nice cover !! :Dlove it am subbing you! keep on :)

[WeWantGoodCovers]

double bass/pedal shall never be used in a maiden song. although it's a very good cover! look the drums backing track here in youtube

[musicmonkeyboard]

@WeWantGoodCovers Double bass should always be used no matter what song.

[nastymonsters2]

@musicmonkeyboard er i think mr mcbrain would disagree as he uses a single pedal..

[musicmonkeyboard]

@nastymonsters2 Then he's doing it wrong.

[nastymonsters2]

@musicmonkeyboard lol right so the man who wrote the drums for this song is doing it wrong is tht right??? the trooper should always be played as nicko wrote it on one bass drum..

[musicmonkeyboard]

@nastymonsters2 The first part of that comment is right. The other part I think you wrote wrong. It should be: "The trooper should always be played with two bass drums."

[nastymonsters2]

@musicmonkeyboard then you have a problem ..because it shouldnt..

[Krazlo]

why dont u have the original song in the background=?

[Morningstardrummer]

Awww that was awesome dude! It's nice to hear a change for once.

[MrLeon4646]

it would be cool if you could try painkiller because there is no video with good sound quality, and your videos have a very good sound quality

[telford28]

Good cover of the song dude. keep on rocking out!!

[NORACN]

Dude thats some sick ass shit I think if you lived here in the USA you would be on stage every night playin and getting paid good money for it ... Hey don't let some of these JEALOUS TURDS TALK TRASH ! YOUR DAMN GOOD I MEAN DAMN GOOD SIR ... MAN IF YOU WERE HERE I COULD GET YOU HOOKED UP WITH SOME BAD ASS PEOPLE, MUSIC PEOPLE .................

[ZiobroV]

Nice kit you got there. Even better with your 'Witcher' hair style ;)

But still, I think to bass was a bit to loud? Something was off, not sure what exactly. Nice video though.

[JamesClark1991]

Very nice take on the drum track, you've got a nice style man (and some balls to try and take on Nicko Mcbrain lol)

[thedrumskater]

You so cool man you're great and this is so f*cking amazing

[heftywhiteman]

I'm not a fan of the double bass but your drum tone rocks brother!

[DjABBlends]

nicko mcbrain's cousin

[IronMaidenSDABNJ]

Nicko McBrain would be proud!!!

[nastymonsters2]

@IronMaidenSDABNJ no he wouldnt he would say use one foot and do the fills like i wrote them..

[Rokket]

timing.......! this is all over the place...honest comment, no offence meant.
