The Black Dahlia Murder - Statutory Ape Drum Cover

[MrGreens4me]

I think you did really good. Angrycavemen23 i think your just angry because he is more skilled then you are. Keep it up James.

[geezergmom]

dude for two years ago that pretty good I'd like to see how good u are now.

[iDrummer4Life]

wtf no tits?? oh wait thats a guy.....

[bon2bonn]

Can't believe you were still this good 2 years and a day ago

[rottinginabox]

Yo you're fucking sick are you in a band and do you live in nj

[IFuckedYaMumCunt]

People who say you suck obviously don't know how difficult this song is ... haha

[AngryCavemen23]

You Suck!!!

[jamestfe123]

@AngryCavemen23 I think the term used should actually be "You Sucked" this was two years ago.

[websterx9]

U ALWAYS START THE BLASTS WRONG !!!! WHY!

[jamestfe123]

@websterx9 I always start the blasts wrong

.... Because.... everytime you play the video..... its the same video. Thats why.

I can just see you there replaying it expecting it to change each time aha.

This video is two years old. and although it hasn't changed, my drumming progression certainly has.

My blasts are fine now.

[websterx9]

@jamestfe123 You are crazy =D

[DucaleEfston]

0:42 spiderman...I've lost my pudding once again :) 

[fabioavenger7x]

nice cover james ;)

[kendryna2]

seriously, I want to fuck your snare

[kendryna2]

I finally figured out why I like this cover so much, Your snare is fucking sexy!! what kind is it?

[mattehISme]

could be better but i understand it was uploaded about 2 years ago and youve gotten better

[AzNpowangeFTW]

Thanks, I'm learning this song and I'll be putting it on youtube and this helped, I'll put your name in the video if you want...

[blrsycth]

since ur left hand, use a left hand setup dude :/ u actually have the choice here dont u? but yea good cover man

[aDeath4EverySin]

one of the better drum covers I've seen. I also noticed that you use your right hand a tad less than the actual song requires, but asside from that, really solid, very tight timing and rolls

[BlackkFridayy]

Wow, you just forget a lot of fills and crashes. You obviously dont listen to the drums good enough.

[sebbimon]

Why heel n' toe? Learn it proper, by doing singles!

[eqjr93]

hey what mic do you use to record drums?

[UKrocketeer]

WHY DOES NO BODY DO TRADITIONAL BLASTS IN TBDM COVERS? HOLY SHITTTTTT

[apocalipticpoison]

Extremly Clean drumming :D Nice!!!!

[gaberawr]

Those bass drum double strokes are sick, man. Good job.

[craiginith]

amazing snare

[CostinhaSucks]

Nice cover and nice hair!!!

xD

[RustyWaffle]

How long did it take you to learn heel-toe double bass? Also, do the longboards make it a lot easier?

[diabeticBASShero]

i love you

[kendryna2]

beautiful snare

[AzureFan1]

what pedals? they look super nice

[nickseckler]

Nice shirt.

[SOAD525]

dude your heal toe is soo cool

[OathForFew]

goodjob dude :D

[ritaaasb]

great! :)

[ritaaasb]

great! :)

[GORIFIEDsaviour]

you need to learn how to do all the notes on your right hand........it should be your strong hand. other than that one of the better covers of this song

[jamestfe123]

@GORIFIEDsaviour Im left handed tho so thats my stronger hand, iam working on my right hand :)

[SnizzFizz]

@jamestfe123 If you're left handed why do you have your kit set up like a righty? seems odd

[jamestfe123]

@SnizzFizz Because its comfortable. I play right handed I'm just left handed for writing and eating. I actually have my kit set up to be ambidextrous now, two rides, two hi-hats. Don't be closed minded.

[SnizzFizz]

@jamestfe123 How am I being close minded? You said above that you are left handed, but you have your kit set up like a righty, so what I asked is a pretty valid question.

[jamestfe123]

@SnizzFizz I'm not closed minded with anything musical, and I'm just saying not to be, and if your not. then thats that. No more needs to be said.

[SnizzFizz]

@jamestfe123 You were the one who originally told me to not be close minded, and now you're saying you're not close minded? That's pretty weird and slightly hypocritical. You're right though, nothing more needs to be said

[zooby11isbambam]

@GORIFIEDsaviour dude seriously? well damn, i'm putting myself on here. he didn't even alternate the blasts at the beginning or anytime throughout the song, for that matter.

[jamestfe123]

@zooby11isbambam This was uploaded over a year ago now ive got the blasts down

[zooby11isbambam]

@jamestfe123 do you have a re-recorded video of yourself on this song?

[GORIFIEDsaviour]

@zooby11isbambam

then shut your mouth and do it

[zooby11isbambam]

@GORIFIEDsaviour i'm retarded with computers i don't even know how, or else i would've put like fifty vids up by now.

[GHProProductions]

You look like Dave Mustaine.

[hottaco11]

wow ur really good

[freshjames43]

not bad. pretty damn good. i just have one question...... how the hell do you do heel toe with the beater so far back? i have mine like two inches away. more effort on really really fast singles. i know,....... but on doubles you can go twice as fast with it closer. try playing "eyes of a criminal" by chimaira. the end has a fun bass drum solo. i couldnt play it with the beaters far back. you should try it. and see if i right. or if i helped at all

[Dethomoth]

blast beats are wack. in the intro blast, instead of hitting the ride over and over. you go with the beat. such as (1 2, 1 2 3 4, 5 6 7 8 9 10 11) play that four times and on the last one, you only play till the 4. hope this helps man.

good cover!

[BluntMastaSkillz]

Heel toe. Boooo

[kimthedrummer]

Holy bananas! Thats some sick double strokes on the bassPEDALS!

[Blasphemer99]

your blasts are wrong

[MetalHead42694]

Love the double strokes on the kick but try to even em out a bit more :]

[jamestfe123]

@MetalHead42694 Cheers! Check out my latest video and you will see that i have :)

[killerchiken]

fuckk!!! awezome!!!

[foursticks210]

Its all about bearfoot son!!

[drtazzle]

Are you doing 2+2 quadruplets on the bass drum?? Motherfucker I've been trying to do that for ages!

Oh, and nice one for being a fellow 'socks only drummer'!

5*

[YoshiX9]

Socks are the only way to go haha

[xxjustinx34xx]

@Connomb11 haha lol u have the same socks as him

[blahkm13]

This is pretty good. I love that double bass.

[schalleepimp101]

seems pretty fucking spot on to me.

[Beaslerod420]

you need o learn to blast and double time with your right hand.

[mayhemshallcome16]

what camera or mic do you use to get the clean sound

[Irreponken]

Awesome footwork

[sater3400]

that was sick dude, the sound of the china es very fucking cool, great cover..

[kowan100]

Great job brother, sick axis pedal. No china though, the one part at 1:36 is crucial.

[awser44]

That's a pretty ugly woman.

[shav12]

i thought this whole song was like blast beats. i never knew you played it like this

[RustyWaffle]

what pedals are you using?

[XXyomammysXX]

dude awesome drum cover ur set sounds really good! subbed!!! and btw are demon drives good for heel toe?

[tamiryk]

Holy fucking shit, youve got some mad wrists action there buddy!

but you really putting too much effort, try using your fingers more for blasting it will be much easier and you could go much faster!

[jamestfe123]

@tamiryk Hey there :) yeh i use my fingers for higher speeds but when its abit slower i use more of my wrist for power. makes the snare stick out more in the mix when i record stuff :) Glad you like the video tho cheers for the comment!

[a7x1134]

sik footwork

[bon2bonn]
