  • @A7XjohnA7X I agree him or cobus

  • I personally think you hands down have the best drum cover on youtube good playing and you just seem to be more into the music than the others I've seen so great job great cover

  • nice kit and great cover. but i gotta say, YOUR ORANGE!

  • what did you use to record this? mics or just a camera

  • hahaha i love the faces made in this! excellent cover dude! ;D

  • wow u nailed it perfectly

  • wow that was good brah

  • sweet deal. love your work

  • Nice job man sounds good!

  • @thedayband Fucking Sweet Kit Dude =D

  • Comment removed

  • a little "flailing pinky" on those starting rolls, but over all you can def rock dude! instead of rolling those first notes, build up that stick control, keep that pinky loose but on the stick... and single stroke those hits! then play with doubles and triples! keep it up homie! :)

  • Great work. I'm not a huge fan of your snare tone, but that's really personal opinion. Keep it up.

  • what sizes are the cymbals? ride or crash?

  • Awesome! I thought it was good, until that little spin you put on the ending. Then I thought it was great. Good job, dude!

  • ive played drums for 8 years although never recorded anything. been watching covers on youtube and a lot of them suck but this one is pretty good. nice work

  • Good job!

  • hey bro SICK COVER for real.

    i really enjoyed this cover, and your cymbals are great.

    Come check out some of my covers if you would like.

  • dude that was kickass!  great job

  • is it good or bad that you look like a turtle when you play?

  • Not that the kitten plays well! Very good!

  • dude i signed in so i could give you a thumbs up and tell you that this was coooool.

  • great cover but it kinda looks like ur hurtin wen u play lol

  • Gosh, everytime I watch this video, I wish I could play drums myself. <3 ):

  • wow.. this is sick! i always wanted to learn how to play drums.. THUMBS UP FOR YOU! ~subscribed

  • at around 2:00, where you were silent you should be hitting the bell of the ride, jus' sayin' overall though really sick cover

  • @Drumwannabe17 , hey dude good call...but if you listen closely, he's actually not playing on the bell of his ride, it's more of tamborine/bellish type percussive production thing (a little cowbell too!)...it continues underneath throughout the entire bridge as well! Nate hardly has a bell on his crash rides anyway, he plays a 24" heavy ride and sometimes a 22" which i have...they don't that bell sound at all. Although I could be wrong!!!! Good ear and thanks for the kind comments!

  • awesome job, except (and i hate to be the bassist telling a drummer how to drum) there are rim shots in this song and it seems like almost everyone who post this song are not playing the rim shots, just wondering if any drummers out there can inform me why?

  • @madddog003, hey dude thanks for the kind words! as for the rim shots, almost every time im hitting the snare in this cover is a rim shot...that's why I go through so many sticks! haha it sucks! so expensive...

  • dude u rock keep it up

  • awesome! :)

  • You are great!

    :D<3

  • KUDOS 2 U... :D

  • you did FUCKEN JUSTICE!

  • thanks!

  • buenisimo!!!

  • freaking awesome dude

    keep it up!!

  • amazing cover and cymbals!

  • What cymbals do you use? Awesome cover!

  • Meinll Byzonce

  • I know that, but what sizes

  • Oh i don't know!

  • 22" and 20"! thanks for the comments!

  • Good cover, but your technique in the beginning was pretty sloppy. Fingers should stay on the sticks. Overall pretty good, keep it up.

  • haha totally, super lame pinky action going on...I don't know why I thought they were doubles (buzz roll or whatever)...then I saw the song performed live and was like ahh damn! haha, regardless, I'm not a drummer, I play guitar and sing for my band, but guitar covers are stupid right!

  • SICK!! and they are meinl byzance cymbals..... dang im jealous haha

  • @superchanneljim

    who cares if he plays with buzz roles, he did one hell of a good cover. you don't have to do exactly what the musician plays, thats what creation and talent is all about.

  • The intro isn't buzz rolls dude, there singles.

  • it's hot he did a great job but the only problem was he played it while he was constipated...go take a shyt before u play ur covers my man lol

  • haha nice, I'll keep that in mind!

  • awsome playing man! =) i like ur style! ;) keep it on!

  • not baggin on him but he missed the cumbal at 0:22

  • I considered re-doing the whole damn video cause of that, but I was over it...I actually don't miss it, what happens is that the meinl (medium) is so light that when I hit it hard it goes down so far that when I swing there is no cymbal there to hit! It goes right through it haha!

  • yeah it sounds just like it man, great job

  • very nice dude i like your style!!!!!

  • woah this is perfect... if i downloaded this on my ipod... i serously wouldnt b able to tell the diff between this a;nd the real thing

  • Nice sounding kit man!

  • WOW..YOU ROCKKK.

  • Brah..you ROCK!...Very good job...I seen your own lil signatures in there.... I wish you were closer to Vegas 'cause I would like to jam with you..i play rhythm guitar....

  • good job. great song.

  • n1, like it

  • nice dude but if i were u i would improvise and try making the song juicier if u know what i mean like add more detail and not keep it like knate played the drums for this song but hes still good ha well keep up the good work bro

  • thanks brotha, ya I would like to add some stuff here and there but maybe next time...I didn't want to do anything to gnarly cause I didnt have any mics to go up on the kit and connect it with the video so the audio is crap...more of just a visual of what the drummer is doing ya know?

  • GAY. put in the audio for your drumming

  • i agree

  • I filmed it with a crappy point and shoot camera, and it sounds like crap...I didnt have any mics to rig up for a cover video I thought nothing of, it was more for just a visual thing...but you are right, I'd prefer it to have a louder mix of my drumming over the songs but whatever

  • way to not put in your audio for the drums you can tell at the end with the fills put up the real one you fake

  • @bonstevawich it doesn't even matter its obvious that he is playing it perfectly...

  • but you dont know that fagget because you cant hear him playing can you. so suck that byyyyyyotch

  • @bonstevawich if you knew anything about drums you wouldn't have to hear it i can tell by watching that he is playing it right.

  • yes but look at all the comments im not saying he played it bad. and if i did show me where i did im taliking about all the people that are like your kits sounds awesome and wow this sounds great. thats whats gay.

  • @bonstevawich well i agree with you there, you can't tell what his kit sounds like. just how well he plays.

  • to tell you all the truth, that kit sounds like crap, I never tune my snare (unless doing studio work somewhere else) and my cymbals are both cracked...I'm actually not a drummer, I play guitar and sing for band...although I do track the drums for our recordings...I'm getting a truth kit soon, 24x16, 13x8, 16x16, 18x18 and a 14x8 snare....now that will sound good!

  • "you fake" haha I love it...next time, I'll make sure you can hear every little detail of my drumming alright? :)

  • your FUCKING AWESOME , i love this band , good job!!!!

  • Great cover, keep it up.

  • dude.. the moonjell i have on my snare pops off alot now.. and its only like four weeks old.. but i hit harder than aaron gillespie lol. (overegsagerating btw)

  • pretty god bu fix the overtone on ur snare......try an Evans O-ring

  • seeing as the audio doesn't match all the fills towards the end, and you can barely hear the variation, i'm guessing thats the actual drums from the recording you're hearing with the overtones.

  • ya so two things: the snare you are hearing most is the anberlin snare (very ringy, kinda thin), my snare is actually pretty dead usually cause I tune it so low where you can basically tune it with your fingers. Unless you are hearing the room sound or whatever...it's just an overall crappy sounding video I made with crappy drums on a crappy point and shoot camera haha

  • @amariucci

    those are the best kind.

  • good job man

  • You are mad! You really rock :D 5/5 totally!

    ... and it was true what bradbradbrad15 said. That snare sounds kinda bad. Of course it's only my opinion.

  • sorry another question, beginner at drums, but is the cymbal your hitting during the chorus a ride or a crash?? please help i suck...

  • he's rockin' the ride, my friend :)

  • did u work this out yourself or find it from somewhere? im horrible at transcribing stuff

  • you gotta just listen to it a bunch and you'll figure it out, you'll realize that a lot of this stuff turns out to be all the same..especially in this genre...although nate puts together awesome arrangements!

  • you could just cover for nate when he's sick : )

  • from 2:55 on is just effin badass. give it all man, kudos, sounded sweet, awesome to watch.

  • everthings good but that snare sounds pretty bad

    good cover though

  • Nice cover!! 5/5

    What are your cymbal kit?

    greetings from chile (:

  • mm almost the last part, i dont heart that sound,... mm about 3:02 and 3:11, that sound in the drum, that you make

  • Your set sound BEAUTIFUL!

  • *sounds

  • I gotta say this is one of the best drum covers I've seen on youtube. This is great and you've got a great setup too! :) Kudos to you! (A+)

  • Dude this is freakin amazing....keep up the good work!!!!!

    GO ANBERLIN!!!!

  • Awesome job dude, Your cymbals sound great!

  • so sick, awesome job.

  • i have seen almost every drum cover to any amazing rock song on youtube, and in all honesty, this is the best and tightest cover i have ever seen. period.

    coming from an experienced drummer, kudos to you bro.

  • this is just fucking amazing dude! and the song is great(A)

  • nice job man, what kind of set u use?

    i gotta yamaha... but i added an extra floor tom, a dubble bass pedal, and a couple cymbals...

  • i agree with totsuo, those cymbals are badass im saving up for 14" byzance heavy hats and a 21" medium crash. but its like $660 just for those 2. awesome cover by the way.

  • ur snare sounds too reverby, good job though.

  • perfect! amazing cover guy!

  • goooooood job

  • hey which model of the meinl byzance cymbals are those?

  • amaaaazing!!

  • i couldnt hear your shit at all over the music.

  • Then get all that gunk out of your ear. It sounds fine.

  • meinl rocks. are the HSC cymbals any good?

    and great video, i now know how to play this =D

  • your cymbals are fucking beautiful

  • Wow, your kit sounds fantastic. I'm jealous.

  • dude, AWESOME!!!

  • very nice bro...u killed it..

  • What set do you have?

  • A+++++ WOULD LISTEN AGAIN

  • dude that was awesome u got talent :P

    the snare sounds just like it's supposed to.

    you did an amazing job.

    flawless.

  • freakin amazing!

  • amazing.

    Best cover i have heard yet

  • snare sounds horrible :/

  • i think it sounds pretty sweet

  • i agree. snare sounds pretty wicked! nice!

  • Nice job! :)

  • I'm honestly pretty envious of those Byzances. Good work.

  • very, very good job.

  • Fantastic! Cover Disappear by Anberlin too please!

  • Snare is a little ringy for my taste, I'd put a dampening ring on it, but props for the Byzance cymbals. Those things are amazing.

  • Holy crap dude, that was amazing. Usually I hate drum covers but that was tight. Nice work.

  • 3:01 WOW and nice twloha no sleeve

  • fuck doubles

  • this will make fretting the drums for Frets on Fire alot easier! 5/5*!

  • nice.

  • out of all the covers of this song i've seen, you're definatley the best

  • haha i'm wearing that exact same top right now haha, just about to drum to the same song x]

    good job dude xD

  • lol at 3:11 he looks like a robot

  • that was tight dude. very nice.

  • really good man

  • sickk

  • hi omg your awesome

  • Pretty good. As a Percussion performance and music education major I would like to offer some advice for a great foundation. Your left arm looks a little robotic. When you hit the snare, your left hand tends to stick instead of letting up to give the drum room to "breathe." You took a lot of time to tune those drums. Get that stick off of it and let its true sound prevail.

    Otherwise... pretty good.

  • Lookin' good man. The only thing I would fix is getting your roll technique down. Remember to keep the pinkies in for the most power and control. Great job!

  • Thanks man! Ya, my technique and fundamentals are bad...they aren't even supposed to be doubles in the beginning anyways...but ya, thanks for the help! I had to teach myself! I play guitar and sing in my band haha

  • Thanks! Ya, I have never gotten lessons before to understand the true fundamentals of drums...I appreciate the tips! Maybe that's why my sticks always break so easily! Every shot is a hard rim shot! :/ But I'd rather rock it than play soft right! I'll try to let the snare breathe more though!

  • Jeez I keep watching this video, its freakin awesome. i've said it before but great job man.

  • True skill.

    Props.

  • marry me?

  • i can tell u didn't edit out the other drums from the original track but i no hate this is awesome good job 5/5 btw nice fill at the end

  • Good job. I like it. I had it pretty close to what you did, but I think yours is way more than the way I played it.

  • Extreeemly good

    better than me...

    i wanna learn this song

    the drums are soo epic as u can see.

  • great job!

  • well, I prefer this song over Godspeed. now, i got a fine sense of how the drum part looks & works. gnarly playing, love how you moved along with it. >;]

  • sick shit man.

  • Nice dude! having fun is the best thing about music! Anberlin for life!

  • Sweet Man! Check Out some of my drum covers if you like. Cool Man G-Day

  • Great job man, you played it very solid, which is hard to do on drums sometimes....!

  • i love you

  • that was madd good

    you should put another version of this video up with your drum aduio

  • Last 25 seconds of this song are killer!!!!

  • SPEAK FOR yourself!!!!

    youu paperr tigerrss!!

    that is so fucking catchy haha

  • fuckng awsome dude :D

  • Finally! Someone who can actually play Anberlin, and do Nate justice!

    Great job man, I really enjoyed it. You have the perfect look between being comfortable, and rocking out.

    Absolutely love your cymbals, Meinl's are amazing.

  • Good video, Love those Meinl Cymbals!

  • amazing!!!..congratulation

  • i have the same crash as you. and im getting the ride to match it for christmas.

  • Good stuff man!

  • What kind of Cymbals are those?

  • Meinl Byzance traditional ;)

  • meinel's. they are standard on tamas. they are okay but definitly prefer sabian over it.

  • you obviously have no idea what you're talking about. the meinls that come with the lower-end tama sets are very cheap, hardly worthy of being called meinl. meinl makes some INCREDIBLE cymbals, especially in the byzance line. the dude in this vid uses byzance traditionals. same kind that knate young himself uses.

    don't jump to conclusions.

  • alright alright. i have meinl's and they are alright. i have the imperial star so your probably right. im just posting what i happened to thik. i still prefer sabians though.

  • the meinls that come with the stagestar/imperialstar/rocksta­r lines are the equivalent of the meinl mcs series, which, essentially, blows chode.

    fact > opinion.

    :]

    different strokes for different folks, man. i currently play sabian, but i'm switching to meinl very soon. i also love zildjians. the new beats, sweet ride, and avedis medium-thin crashes, pure bliss right there.

    deuce.

  • Dude I keep coming back to this video, its so sweet. Great drum cover of my favorite song off New Surrender.

  • thanks man! it's not perfect...but it's fun to play!

  • You are awesome.

  • this one of the best drum covers ive seen yet! great job bro, keep doin wut u do!
