[docjames]

[TreehouseTapes]

Right in the pocket, good cover man.



[RhysBCassidy]

"Hopefully it's ok." Dude you nailed it.

[ironman3134]

Wow man. Perfect! Your drums/mics sound fucking GREAT. How is the kick mic'ed, and what mic is it?

[runig14]

DAMN!

[RosabellaMusic]

spot on.  great job dude.

[magikarpp]

i agree with some other comments, very solid, awesome control, awesome man!

[norka99]

very solid playing. killer video man.

[dukessux]

you can jam

[BroncoRogers78]

What kit is this?

[DougQFresh]

@BroncoRogers78 It's a gretsch renown maple kit, I now only use the 10' and 14' , and the snare is a Global Drum co. Stave snare made of tiger maple and aged mahogany, totally got it online for $350, it was a steal, for sure.

[rotomonde]

chingon!! aunque hubo algunos ligeros desfazes de tiempo pero casi imperceptibles....

congratulations!

[emericask8z]

hey dude good job last night at the show, i was there at irving plaza!

[DougQFresh]

@emericask8z Thanks alot man, that was a fun show, I was a nervous wreck. lol

[hotdogsplinter]

awesome control, tight rolls.  love it.

[DougQFresh]

@hotdogsplinter Thank you very much, It's fun to keep improving in those areas.

[smallmac1]

hey man i just posted a video response. Idk if it showed up but its me covering this song and vultures check it out! Idk if you remember but i met you in Tampa and Orlando, you gave me a stick in tampa that I have on display in my room lol and in orlando me and my friends got to talk to you guys for like 10 minutes. You guys are one of the coolest bands i've met and I just hope that you record drums on the next cd because Low country was lackin seriously in that department.

[DougQFresh]

@smallmac1 Thanks alot man, I did see the vid, it was great, and that is not an easy song. I hope you're well, talk to you soon man.  _Doug

[beastieboy491191]

that was so tight.

[burdoogo]

perfect!

[LilRikku07]

I saw that show in portland oregon, in 2009. it was awesome. and you were really nice, we talked for like 2 hours after the show. hope your doing well. your a great drummer!

[KSE828]

Great job dude, your snare sounds awesome...most covers i see the snare sounds like shit. Again, awesome job!

[ClassicMan41]

Oh and what kind of kit do you use? thanks

[DougQFresh]

@ClassicMan41 Gretsch renown maple and a global snare, I also have a pearl ian paice snare as well.

[DougQFresh]

@stiZz4ReAl Thanks alot dude!

[ClassicMan41]

That was awesome!!!! Really great job.

[DougQFresh]

@ClassicMan41 Thanks man, I really appreciate it, sorry for the late reply but i've been on the road for the last three months and I don't have a laptop. : (

[ClassicMan41]

WOW!!!! I can't stop watching this. Its so good!!

[Zexnoise]

you're one of the best drummers i've seen at youtube. congratulations

[DougQFresh]

@Zexnoise That definitely means alot.

[DougQFresh]

@Zexnoise really though, thanks :)

[deguzmanmick]

props to you man, awesome. nice snare btw, what brand and model?

[DougQFresh]

@deguzmanmick Globe 14x6.5 stave snare half tiger maple and half aged mahogany. Globe is out of California.

[ltgreatsocks]

When I saw EOTC live all I could think about was how boring the guitar was and how freakin hard the bass player and drummer were tearing that shit up (I like their singer too).

[DougQFresh]

@ltgreatsocks Thanks man, I'm glad you're down with the group.

[ltgreatsocks]

@DougQFresh Wait are you the drummer? Either way you still rock really damn hard.

[tfieldz]

shit, this is damn good. i'm trying to learn this song currently and it's STUPID hard. definitely gonna take me a while, but you have this song pretty much perfect. i'm jealous

[iAphex]

@tfieldz Same here man. It's a very difficult song, it's full of fills and it has EXTREMELY hard beats at times. I haven't got it quite down. Hopefully you and I learn it soon!

[DougQFresh]

@iAphex @tfieldz I am more than sure you guys will get it! If you guys have any playing questions or technical questions, I'll answer an email on youtube, and I give lessons on skype as well under the name "doug rogells"

[Uqload]

@DougQFresh Hey man! I'm iAphex, and I recently just closed that account. But I just wanted to let you know after much practice, I can finally play the song. Not as good as you though. I must say you have some excellent fills and control over your sticks. Thanks for posting such a good example on how to play this song!

[konaroo]

sound Frigin fanslaptastic

[dynastysuperfan]

fresh and tight, very nice cover

[yummylimabeans]

hopefully you're on tour with them w/ fall of troy...you are a beast.

[jlabove]

ive seen a lot of drum attempts and this is absolutely boss......doug you are officially the man

[johndelyftt]

wow you did this song really great.

btw what kind of 20'' A custom are you using here??

[DougQFresh]

Ping Ride :)

[notonekind]

I think I got used to how fucking good it was that I was somehow bummed out by the 1:14 slurr and the one rushed hit at 3:44... Terrible how you set such high standards that I thought those were bad things lol...

Awesome, March-May'll be fun

[DougQFresh]

Haha, I appreciate the mercy... haha. Those things have been cleaned up, I assure you, lol. I didn't get to show this them because things worked out a day before I released this, which is the same day I learned the song. Although musically irresponsible, I just wanted to get it out there just incase. Thanks again though! :)

[jesseroggaa]

Wow, that's a really accurate cover.

[used089]

totally cool! :D

[Adamiskew]

[ddotdidit91]

Very very well done...Favorite... 5 stars...

[HeWh0Thrashes]

[DougQFresh]

Haha, thanks man, I actually listened to it a couple times all the way through the night before and then in the morning on the way their, no sheet music, that would be cool if there was some. Cool drum videos by the way. Keep up the good work.

[jco12435]

I came into this video doubtful but I gotta say im pretty impressed. Your pretty much nailed it. And you got a pretty sweet setup too... Props

[videogeek32]

[DougQFresh]

I dunno, I haven't tried to yet.

[videogeek32]

u should try. sounds really challenging

[DougQFresh]

I'll give it a try, I'll let you know how goes. : )

thanks for the inspiration, I appreciate it.

[weirderthanu210]

Your insane....i saw you in Connecticut in June. I'm from Long Island, actually from the town Ryan's from. But you blew my mind. I was like "Woah"

[DougQFresh]

Thanks man, that means alot.

[ieatpantss]

so so sooo good

[MichaelRizkable]

you're my hero.

[dcataldo1]

You are a fucking god.

[BryanBEATBOX]

i can't play the bell thing at 0:17 and it frustrates the shit outta me

[DougQFresh]

If u have any questions, let me know. You'll figure out one way or another for sure!

[xJenxJellyx]

A-MAZING!!

[vinnyappice]

1:13

[DougQFresh]

You got it! lol

[vinnyappice]

other than that it was pretty much perfect =)

[MetalDrummer6928]

for those fast fills do you use the bass drum at all. cuz i have to cover this song in like a week and i can't honestly tell. but yeah you did a really great job. i'd edit out the "attempt" in your title

[DougQFresh]

No double bass, but most of the fills involve the kick drum, it's just knowing where to place it. I hope that helps a little, good luck man, i'm sure you'll kill it!

[ukpoop]

this is excelent , my favoutire band and you did this very well.

[nostoylocostoycrazy]

best cover in youtube... honest

[MMAFreak941]

You need a solo video, just to show these guys what you can REALLY do.

[HASedlmayer]

That's my BROTHER!! I always knew you would make it big.. I love you and am so proud of you!

[bsallz]

pretty fucking awesome

[BleedTheFaith04]

Go Doug Go! You guys should see him REALLY go off. Hes just playing the song in this video. He's rediculous...
