Times Like These - Foo Fighters - Drum Set

[4lexxdu80]

comment faites vous pour avoir une trés bonne qualité de son sur la video en jouant avec la musique ????? quel matériel faut il ??

[brff15]

holy fuck he's good.

[jperez2222]

whats he looking at????

[jamesgretsch]

Man, congratulations!!

you're very nice on drums!!

check out my drum videos too!

[MrRadar73]

Nice drumming, obviously note perfect, thanks for the vid.

I suggested my band to play this, and I can't find the dots (sheet music) anywhere; thanks to you though, I've got it all down correctly and we're now able to rock my fave F.F. song. Btw, you look nothing like Dennis Chambers - for obvious reasons. Lol.

Good work and thanks again. ;-)

[megna1000]

perfect...

[henkhakkertoene]

Having a larger kit does not make you a good drummer.

Being a good drummer make you having a large kit :-P

[rubjazzy]

You look like Dennis Chambers!

[FreezeCoversBand]

Perfect cover, best on you tube. Thanks for sharing it.

[drayco26]

you are an amazing drummer, precision and passion,, i have learned a lot from you,, thankyou !!

[BDizDaBest]

Why the fuck are people criticizing this guy for inane bullshit like not "making faces," "having style," or playing Buddy Rich? He is spot-on in this cover and Taylor Hawkins is a rock solid drummer.

[breakneckcrash]

What series are your cymbals? They sound amazing.

[squiffy000]

@breakneckcrash They are zildjian A series.

[JoeyJJordison]

Nice Tama!!! :D

[DeathBat12051992]

goddamn it, you made drums look so much harder...great technique

[michaelc383]

Solid technique and a nice sounding kit! Thumbs up on this post! Bravo!

[zuboseleather]

Wheres the show.......yawn.....drummers are a dime a dozen...play some buddy rich

[rakuencallisto]

@zuboseleather

just like anyone else who can't play drums, they don't see the amount of technique and clean timing in front of you.

hence what they said about bonham: "sure you can play what he played, but you can't play LIKE him."

[luizflronconi]

AMAZING!!!!!!

[foxtrotfoxtrotsierra]

sick :) nice work man :)

[taz4818]

where do you get the sheet music from?

[flinginferrets]

can you do animals as leaders ... the parts really mix a lot of people up...

[IDontUsePicks]

I love the Zildjian A series! Yours sound awesome!

[ezrabowman]

Very nice, couldn't have played it better myself. I couldn't have rocked the mexi stash any better either.

[iThinkSexy]

ur a good drummer.. tho no style at all.. at least in that video.. ur face.. like ur all stressed up.. put that aside and ur incredible.. keep it up. good cover =]

[toddmonster]

i don't understand the placement of the crashes, i feel like if you had to play really fast and intensely long sets, you'd look for a more efficient set up. full arm extensions = suckage.

[TheNirvanaman]

you're great !

[BuffMcKagan72]

Not bad but the `tache and the featherlite touch make it look a bit on the camp side!

[thejonisadruid]

this is a great cover, really good, and can i just ask, yano the cymbal you are playing 8th notes on at one point, is that a type of crash or a splash?

[HomoSapiensSapiens]

awesome

[sbdz4]

Wasn't quite sure about some fills. thanks for clearing it up

[scooterss2112]

come on people. you cannot say the original is better since this guy is playing identical because hes reading the sheet music.

[guitarh3ro123]

fucking awesome

[spacesuitdrummer]

it looks like he is playing rockband lol

well done though :)

[BassistBob81]

Awesome!

[Jordo1900]

cool

[giosmrbig]

i don't like the way he moves the hands and the arms.... its like a robot..

if you look TAYLOR form foo fighters he has a natural talent and energy, he moves very naturally on drums....

anyway... that's my opinion...

[Rallyboy5254]

He's reading the notes. He teaches this song in a lesson. good teacher too.

[deegraphique]

u r very2 good drummer man...ur video help me to play this song..cheers mate..

[Footnater456]

You did it well but where are you looking at?

[pearldrummer250]

I don't know but must have been the most beautiful thing in the world because he wouldn't look anywhere else

[sam93d]

@Footnater456 Hes reading the sheet music probably.

[sk3l3t0nk3y9090]

awesome

[rockbottomprods]

Not as good as our Phil ,but still real good .lol.

[trams33]

wow that's stupid you don't say someone is better who cares. this guy is amazing at drums

[drummnut]

Nicely done, note-for-note! Some people have trouble with the 7/4 bits, but your attention to detail on the fills is impressive.

[SeanFinni]

Why disable ratings dude, cmon let us give you some credit here!

[lynandpetemay]

really useful cheers!

[sjovt]

nice job!

It was very educational! Helped alot :)

[Belinked14]

Very good! but what are you looking at the whole time?

[Sukkiepaw]

Obviously he's watching a rock band chart.

[MrMusicalJoe]

i really doubt hes using a rock band chart hes amazing at drums and not a sad loser that plays video games

[xxkmanxx]

Rock band chart? I highly doubt that, hes most likely using drum sheet music.

[poryon2]

@Sukkiepaw this song wasnt even on rock band when he made this

[Skoog13]

is this song on rock band ? ;o

[penguy794]

i think it might be his sheet music like he uses in his other video lessons on like a music stand a tiny bit off screen

[Warnub4]

Are you using double bass fills or single?

[Warnub4]

Great job dude, better than me =p

[garrywells]

Absolutely Fantastic and educational!!

Brilliant timing too!!!

[IRol3ot]

terrific, you should try last train home-lost prophets

[drumcicle87]

great job! beautiful kit!

[calumwl]

Great work!, i was just wondering why you use a conventional drum kit, I would have thought a drummer like you would chose a larger kit for a greater range of sounds.

[forloveishope]

Having a larger kit does not make you a good drummer.

Having a smaller kit and getting those same sounds, while having less to carry, makes you a good drummer.

[IMMdrummer]

carter beauford is one of the best drummers in the world and his set defines the word large. the size of the kit you use does not make you a good drummer, its the way you use the kit you have, large or small

[ascortjkk]

whats the difference? sorry i dont know really :D

[zayz505]

he probly do but thats the kit he uses for his videos

[paulpanch]

best!

[paulpanch]

W O W

[wondy]

0:28 pretty hard to keep in time

[eclipse943]

@wondy not really =P i played this song in a school play, i just watched this cover and i learned it after like playing through the song 2 times or something =P. I'm not saying ur a bad drummer, but it's not that hard :-D

[rakuencallisto]

@wondy

that part there is phenomenal.

he times it literally perfectly.

i can't do that if my life depends on it and i drum all the damn time.

[matheuscream]

@wondy I need to train more that part. 0:28 is difficult

[jokujunahi]

where is that guy looking at all the time? XD

[devilzreality93]

i think his reading notes

[stevemeister999]

Are those black things above the toms mics?

[C12azy13ananas]

yes those would be microphones.

[lovbaz]

great work!

[travisbarkerfan010]

It depends what kind of music u play. APX are for heavier music.

[backslide4life3]

im not a drummer so this might sound stupid but y do they where thos ear phone things

[heartben]

if the drummer is smart the wear ear plugs, drums are crazy loud and can kill your ears. those headphones are designed for drummers so it protects them from the harsh sounds coming from the drums. it also makes it so whatever music they are playing to doesnt have to be blaring. that would also be bad on the ears. so yeah. that is pretty much why.

[soldier42095]

Lol hes prolly using a sound amplifier. And through that he can choose what sounds louder then certain sounds. Like make his bass a certain sound and so on. So he can hear himself playing not because drums kill your wars. Ive been playing drums 3 years years and my ears are fine

[technologyms]

play 10 more years and youll see.

i always use protection like the phones on the clip ou in ear phones to cut off the drum sound and still ear the drums and the guitars and vocals.

[NiQui101]

those are the facts! but onething they don't know about using earphones.....or maybe they forgot to state this......not only using earphones to lessen the drums sound on the part of the drummer but it also had the so called metronome beat....were most drummers depends on it.....that metronome give a lot help to all drummers..to determine how fast they are from the song, they have a steady beat to focus on to be on the beat all the time......that's it!

[Kristoffa80]

Fucking spot on!

[w1104717]

song is coming to rock band next week!

[DrummerkeStefan]

Nice drumskills dude!

Yes it is 7/4 (Or 7/8 if you want to count two times faster;)) It's 1-2-3-4-1-2-3 1-2-3-4-1-2-3 and further...

[suffernrage]

It's not 7/4, at all. 7/8 would be broken into 3/4-4/4, or 4/4-3/4. It's not "how you count it", it's counted in 8ths for this song. 7/4 is 14/8.

[alanross999]

I believe the timing at the beginning is in 7/8. Great job.

[demonwerewolf110]

What is the time signature at the beggining, there?

[HudsonBay1990]

sounds like 3/4 3/4 2/4. could be wrong, but if you count it its 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 repeat

[KaiDarkSnake]

7/4

[sefhmc]

PURE awesomeness!

[Dissident12]

awesomeness

[webbski10I]

Hey i'm looking to get some good quality cymbals, upgrading from starter ones...

I was thinking ZHT's?

Any thought please :)

[Tussen940]

I love when Dave like screamsing!:D FF is the best band in the world!:)

[Foorever]

good job man that was killer

[Testbild77]

yes..!

[ARGHDEHN]

hi, are they dampers on your snare ?

[onlinedrummer]

Yep. They're made by Evans. There's a circular piece of velcro on each end. One sticks to the drum head and one sticks to the side of the drum.

Then, you can adjust the amount of dampening by where you stick the dampener to the velcro. They're pretty nice.

[ARGHDEHN]

i thought about getting some a while back .

would you say there worth it ?

[crazy000pk3r]

hey can u awnser this?? why are my drums so lud yours are quit mine are like soo soo soo loud do i need no heads?? and my symboles are so loud there plaent z pls help me

[HerlPearl]

What are the dimensions of that snare drum?

[PITsteelers93]

AMAZING

[charliemoore]

that is shit hot drumming

[Monroig]

can you show how to play Hey Ska by the Suicide Machines?

[VonMilash]

So, why aren't you IN a band like the FF? Are you a studio player?

[biscuit0luver]

Great Vid!

I was just wondering what cymbals you would recommend as I the ones i have are zildjian planet z and i am lookin to upgrade but i dont have a huge budget i use a splash crash and ride.

Thanks

[gunsnrosesrocker]

look it up on a website i would suggest zildjian zbt's i wanna get pros

[pedro2k71992]

i would recommend sabian, i used to love zildjian but i bought a sabian pro sonix crash and loved it! so i would say get sabian pro sonix crash and a splash (there are lots of very cheap second hand ones, in basically new condition) but i prefer zildjian ride's so i would agree with gunsnrosesrocker and say zbt ride (cheap, great value for money) and as for hi-hats its really down to the music you play. :)

[Danman1475]

i like zildjian the only thing is their cheap cymbals are crap but their expensive ones are amazing

[Vtash18]

ya like i bought a zbt splash last year and it cracked it sucked so bad, but paiste pst5 cymbals are god cause thats the slpah i have now and it hasnt even crached (: but i agree with u zildjians expensive cymbals are amazing

[Str00pwafel]

have you ever tried sabian? i gotta admit, the rides aren't really that good but damn, i love those crashes'

[travisbarkerfan010]

U Should try Zildjian A Customs or A. THey r the best

[dantheman23312]

Beautiful song and you played it really well, great job :D

[BleedingInto]

Perfect performance.  Great job.

[gunthernstuff]

hey im brand new to durmming .... and i was wondering what do i use to stuff my bass drum please help me lolz im only 13 so dont rip on my stupidity

[onlinedrummer]

I use an Evans Emad head with built-in muffling. For the reso head (the front head) I put some rolled up fabric against the bottom portion... not a lot, just enough to knock off unwanted overtones produced by the head.

[gunthernstuff]

okay thanks i will get right no that =)

[ACDCsuperfan91]

@gunthernstuff I use a big puffy blanket xD

[loganyorkdockery]

what kind of kit you have?

[onlinedrummer]

I'm using a Sonor Force for these recordings.

[Yukoneze]

I liked the kick specially!....Nice job, too bad the vid could't keep up!....:)...Yuke

[smoothdrummer29]

Love that snare shot @ 3:38... just to punch the beat a little. Great work by the way, enjoying ALL your posts!

[Yukoneze]

Agreed Smooth.....Nate has a nice touch....Yuke

[BarberoProductions]

that was really great! i hope i could play like you someday!

[Therites89]

Cool time sig in the beginning.

[donjuanpuneet]

What kind of sticks are those? is it the zildjian with a grip? also why were you looking on the left most of the time ? just curious :)

nicely done!

[onlinedrummer]

Those are Hornets Drum Sticks, given to me by Aaron from Hornets... Thanks Aaron!

I'm looking to the left at the music stand, reading the music.

[drumkid45]

Sweet!!!

For the next Foo Fighter song,

could you do the pretender. It is my

favourite song by them.

[GunnerGraham]

That's a curious offbeat.I haven't heard any like that before.Great cover Nate.I have,and continue to pick up loads of stuff from your technique.Thanks for the time and effort you take to post these great vids.

[DrumFill09]

that was amazing!!!

[revowithin]

good recording u hv there. what mic u use for bass drum? and how u set up for the bass drum to get the sound ?
