  • very  nice

  • Nice, Drumming from the heart. love the NRG. sweet grove. cool.

  • @1969portsmouth That is high praise! Thank you!

  • Sick DnB at 8:40 :D

  • @vivalasaunders Cheers!

  • you have chops but you need to lighten up on the drumming then it would be super good..... great choice in music btw :)

  • @jirishj I never think of myself as having chops, I must admit! I am at the limit of my ability just trying to play the groove, and there is so much energy required in this that by the time I find myself trying to play one of Terry's outrageous fills, I flail around the kit like a madman - you are right :-)

    With these Flix sticks, this song is especially physical. I'll be re-doing this vid over Christmas on my Roland and with wooden sticks - I'll try and lighten up!

  • In this video....dislike button=envy button

  • Great Job, was wondering if you have done Eddie Money - Two Tickets to Paradise? Or if you plan on it, would love to see you play that one..Keep up the good work..Awesome

  • Great!

  • This guy is unbelievable. You play with so much soul and passion plus youve got an amazing touch. You can rock with any band on any stage - anywhere!

  • @fIRsTRATmAN That is a beautiful comment and very high praise - thank you!

  • i no nothing about drums but i watch this more than the original!

    shit hot mate

  • @172jonno Ha! Ha! That's very high praise, coming from a non-drummer! Thank you!

  • fucking awesome, best drum cover for this song on youtube. sounds just like terry williams playing it

  • @Hobinator17 I thank you!

    I wish I was half as good as Terry - he has far more power, far more groove and far more swing then I will ever have :-)

  • How could anyone Dislike this? Amazing drumming! and Amazing sticks!

  • Future terry williams :P

  • @krishu1997 Ha! That's very kind of you, but I am no where near as good as Mr Williams - he is super awesome :-)

  • you look like keith moon when you play drums!

  • @FakeMetin2SG Thank you, I think!

  • Very good ! Congratulations, i will learn a lot with you.

  • Wow! Wow! Wow! That was grrrrrrrrreat! Congratulations!

  • @marcellyferrari Ha! Ha! Ha! Thank you!

    I will be doing this again soon, on my Roland drum kit :-)

  • super improwizacja, super kondycja!!!!!

  • You should be a part of a Mark Knopfler team and play on concerts :) I`m really impressed. Best performacce on YT.

  • @MrTOman1982 Wow, that is very high praise! I am flattered and humbled :-)

    I thank you!

  • Comment removed

  • good cover!

  • The video was great bro. :D

  • 0:56 - 1:06

    what is moving outside the window?

  • @forresttmcarthur I love how I kill myself trying to do these videos, and people ask me what walked by the window! Jeeeez :-)

    Anyway, on this occasion, it is my cat - 'Milly'.

  • Cool ! Nice work fella !

  • great video great energy

  • ERES EL MEJOR, UN MAQUINA, UN MONSTRUO DE LA BATERIA.

    YOU ARE THE BEST, A MACHINE, A MONSTER OF THE DRUMS.

    ENJOY IT.

  • @Albertotiles Ha! Ha! Ha! Thank you for the translation! I'm glad you liked it so much.

  • wow, nice 1

  • fantastic, sei fantastico

  • svaka ti čast :-)

  • @Max19821000 According to google this says - "every honor [to?] you".

    I get the gist - thank you!

  • @jouxplan

    yes you got it, all the best to you.

  • Abso-bloody-lutely brilliant mate!!

    Hope one day I am half as good! Just started watching your other videos, the talent continues!

  • @nawe1981 That's very kind of you!

  • WOW!!! this is definitely the best drum cover of this song on youtube.. because u cover the alchemy live version SOOO GOOD!!! way to go

  • @MrAdnanian Hey, thank you! Glad you enjoyed it :-)

  • reallya wesome man!

  • Amazing job!

    I got breathless whatching you playing this CLASSIC!

    Nice one...

  • @grtoller33 Ha! ha! Glad you got into it so much! Thank you!

  • hi jouxplan. geeeeee....amazing. you're an artist as well as an athlete and I very much enjoy listening and watching you work! a question (I am no drummer): what is a "ride"? cheers, D

  • @dumena Hello, and thank you for your kind words!

    'Ride' is the large cymbal over to my right that I use at times instead of the hi hat to my left - my right hand plays the ride. Not to be confused with the 'crash' cymbals, which make a 'crash' noise when I wallop them. The ride is not for walloping - it makes more of a 'ting-ting' sound. I am playing the ride a lot in the final minute or so, and hitting the crashes during those massive drum fills / rolls :-)

    Don't know if this helps!

  • @jouxplan thanks for answering so fast and yes, it sure helped. I am very impressed how you're taking so much time answering nearly all comments you're getting. Wow! The very best wishes to you. D

  • looks like he's dyslexic  :D but damn good!

  • ITS FORREST GUMP! :D

  • 00:56 Cat outside window :D

    Great job dude, and nice work on the ride.

  • @conory It is indeed a cat. They like to get in on my YouTube videos!

    Many thanks, and especially glad you appreciated the ride work - it is what makes this song so incredibly difficult to copy: everyone thinks it is the big fills, but it is the subtle beauty of that ride work and it swings, fast, which is horribly hard! Mr Williams was the Man!

  • Good job!!!

  • perfect job buddy... But try to get more dynamic.. :D keep on rocking, we love ya!!!!

  • @Maudit1972 but, but.......this must be the most dynamic video I have on YouTube!!!!! I hit the drums like I hate them, and then when I have to play that horribly tough swinging ride and I have to go all quiet!

    Seriously, this is as dynamic as I can get on this track - I am not capable of playing it with any more finesse or subtlety: I am at the limit of my ability :-)

    Many thanks - I love you all too!

  • Amazing - wow i dont think ive ever seen a drummer work his kit so hard :-)

  • @dilwich123 Wow, that is quite a thing to say! I am humbled :-)

    It is fair to say that this one is incredibly physical to play - I am always wasted at the end of it. Terry Williams was on fire when he played this!

  • This is very good!

    I'm not a drummer but i love hearing a good drummer play. (As it happens in this video)

    I love the song and this live version is awesome!

    Also, the colored drumsticks gave it a funny touch :D

    Keep up the good work!

    grettings from Portugal!

  • @Pedro4478 Thank you very much! Glad you enjoyed it!

  • @jouxplan You're soo welcome mate : )

  • very good video I enjoyed a lot, you know how to use the times very well and you also have very good rithm. Greeting from argentina

  • @fantasmasdeldesierto Hey, thank you my friend!

  • wow dude. . . you make me look like a shit drummer :P

  • @TYMCGOUGH Ha! Ha! Dude! I am sure that is not true!

    Glad you enjoyed it my friend!

  • Congratulations, very good! Of all the videos of drummers doing a cover of the song Sultans of Swing Live, was that you realized how good it is to hear a good drummer, who is involved with the music and feel every beat as it were an extension of the su body. Fantastic. I am Brazilian and I could see your video in Japan.

  • @anlizabr Thank you for translating into english, and many thanks for the kind words! I love how YouTube brings us altogether - a Brazilian in Japan watching a video of me in the UK!

    There is only one way to play Sultans live on drums IMHO: full-on, passion, energy. It exhausts me every time! Really glad you appreciated it :-)

  • Parabéns, muito bom! De todos os vídeos de bateristas fazendo o cover da música do Sultans of Swing Live, foi em você que percebi que como é bom escutar um bom baterista, que se envolve com a música e sente cada batida como fosse uma extenção do su próprio corpo. Fantástico. Sou brasileiro e pude ver o seu vídeo no Japão.

  • Qué buen ritmo amigo!

    Saludos desde Argentina!

    Un abrazo!

  • @hulter100 This seems to say -

    "What good pace friend!

    Greetings from Argentina!

    A hug!"

    Thank you :-)

  • very well done...

  • @Sreewtyui I thank you!

  • Sweet playing dude, witch sticks are those?

  • @cherkassky92 Thank you! They are Flix Sticks. Made in Scotland and increasingly available worldwide :-)

  • Fu**** awesome cover ! This is amazing! These is an awesome cover!!!!!!

  • @funfertouring Ha! Ha! I thank you!

  • I know next to nothing about drumming but this is probably the second best drumming of this song I have ever heard.........Terry Williams is first but I am considering switching that around after watching this a few times.

    Really, this is great! And the sound on your video is great as well........at times, it almost sounds like the drummer from Rush with the air drums. It sounds so great, keep up the good work!

  • @ChitownWhiteSox05 Hey, that is extremely high praise my friend, thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!

  • A magnificent effort. Well done. Good enough to grace any stadium venue in the world. 10/10.

  • @GOLLYSKYWOOD2 I am humbled :-)

    Thank you!

  • People have been way too nice to you but rock on dude! Have your fun!

  • @Pearlfan71 Once again, I think that is pretty harsh! Anyway, you are quite entitled to your views!

    Peace.

  • UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!! wow...

    thats is one of my favorite songs and you totally nailed it...

    well done

  • @avibe2 That is very kind of you :-) Glad you enjoyed it!

  • This video has once again blown my boots off !! This superb live version is very hard to cover and you certainly pull it off. You must have put a huge amount of time in to get those fills right. Superb mate.

  • @nazecliffs Hey, thank you! I have been playing along to this for many years (25?), and so I kind of new it already. What I did was to write out the sequence of fills using my own drum notation (I cannot read drum music), and made sure to read this as I played along. Otherwise, it is dam hard to remember which fill comes next! Time? Yes, I spent several hours a week over a month or so, trying to get it all sorted :-)

    Many thanks!

  • As a huge fan of ds and mk, mate, really i take pleasure to see this video !! i'd love to see u on telegraph road from alchemy too, and solid rock and.....

    IMHO terry was dire straits best drummer they ever had ! If u work on another ds live video with ur drum, feel free to let me know !!!

  • @trackeur77 Hey, that is very high praise! I thank you!

    I have to admit that I have always loved the Love Over Gold version of Telegraph Rd the best, which is why I have covered that version on here instead (it is on my Others playlist). Alchemy is a great live album though :-) and I will be doing Once Upon Time In West and Romeo Juliet from it.

    Easiest way to find out when I do 'em is to subscribe - I will never remember to inform you otherwise!!

    Terry - yes, I agree.

    Many thanks!

  • Dude thats mad !!

  • @Shem101 I shall take that as a compliment :-)

    Many thanks!

  • Hi again jouxplan :), i watched this video many times,i love it. it's a perfect cover but i can't bellieve that you have only 25,116 views this moment. it's awesome,it's perfect.5/5,you rock!

  • @TheAndrumming Hello my friend. I am very glad you liked this so much! 'Perfect' is a strong word, and is not quite true in this case - I could never play this as brilliantly as Terry Williams did that night :-) Still, it is great fun trying!

    25,000 views isn't too bad, fo me! I think you have to do covers of Rush or Red Hot Chilli Peppers or something, to suddenly get like 250,000 views of a single vid. My most popular vid (Police Message In Bottle) is only on 77,000 views!

  • Alex, it,s perfect! You are too modest. I seldom watch drum covers (and nearly never make), but really enjoyed this one! And I drum very similar things into it, so was happy saying: that,s it!

    The original drummer is not better than You - according to me - moreover, his bass drum leg is a bit lazy. I guess, You pedalled more, and it was better.

    Thank!

  • @GBWagner1 Ha! Ha! I thank you! I am honoured you don't usually watch drum covers, but took time to watch some of mine and enjoyed them :-)

  • Why are you using rods? It's an amazing cover, but if you xere playing this song with drum sticks, it would sound better! ;)

  • @brutorette Long story - too keep things quieter; I record using only a camcorder with no mixing going on, so sticks would be way too loud. I have not used wooden sticks for 25 years - another long story - see my jouxplan website (link on channel) for reasons. They are Flix Sticks btw :-)

    Anyway, glad you like the cover!

  • kick ass,what drums and cymbals ?

  • @TheAndrumming I thank you :-)

    5 piece Pearl Export dating from 1986, with the two little toms added about 7 years ago - cheap ones by Stagg but they sound great with new skins. Cymbals are all Zildjians. There is a lot of detail and photo's of my kit on my jouxplan website - link on my channel!

  • horrivel o som ,

  • @rosilea1 this seems to say 'horrible sound'.

    Thank you for your detailed input.

  • can u please play dance of the death cover?

  • @rohitsejekan911 Is this Iron Maiden? I probably can't! I struggle with heavy / metal rock :-)

  • mind boggling.... superb.... i've been tryin hard play this alchemy version of ths song....

  • @rohitsejekan911 Hey, thank you! I have been trying to play this song for over 25 years, so don't worry too much!

  • mind boggling.... superb.... i've been tryin hard play this alchemy version of ths song....

  • Comment removed

  • Nice work Dude. Do you do requests? Eddie & The Hot Rods 'Do Anything You Wanna Do' would be cool! - Also, Clem Burke has to be my all time Drumming hero, who's yours?

  • @Izzetafox Thank you! Requests - sort of! If I know of it, like it, thbhink it would be interesting to everyone, and am capable of playing it, then yes!

    Clem Burke effectively taught me how to open and close a hi hat! What I mean is that I spent hours trying to play 'Heart Of Glass' when it came out and I was like 10 pr something. My heros = Phil Collins, Chester Thompson, Stewart Copeland and Keith Carlock, to name only 4. There are others!

  • I love your kit! What size china is that in the bg?

  • @Magnesiur Hello! Thank you - the china is a Zildjian K 15" Mini China. Lots more info and pics of the kit on my jouxplan website - link on my channel :-)

  • @jouxplan Nice i think your a great drummer :)

  • GO SLEEP!

  • @ptimouloud Eh?

  • The only contribution by Terry Williams on the BiA album was the intro for 'Money for Nothing'. Such a sh*t drummer, that he was replaced by Omar Hakim. A pity that Pick left in 1982.

  • @PimpinBassie2 Wooaaaaahhhh! I got to disagree with you my friend! Terry Williams cannot possibly be described as 'sh*t''. I can hardly believe I am reading this. Surely his work on Alchemcy proves my point? As for Hakim - wonderful drummer also, but hugely different style, is all.

  • Comment removed

  • Alchemy FTW! really great cover.

  • what rods are those??

  • @AHay94 They are Flix Sticks. More details on my Channel page :-)

  • very talented mate wish u were my teacher i havent played in ten years

  • That's very kind of you, cheers!

  • hey great drumming over al to begin with.

    i myself haven't the technologey,or the fancy cadgets for doing drum covers,by useing computers,thow i really would love to but back to your playing or basically the drum cover you've picked is definitetly a hard one to say the lease,but you nail it speacially bout 4;10,really nice fill on 4;16.

    i'm sure mark would agree,you don't see to many dire straits covers,and i'm sure the viewers would know why so dam hard and of tempo,great work cheers matt.

  • Cheers! Glad you like it.

    The fills are all tough, and seem to get harder the further in you get! Anyway, it is great fun trying to play this! And hard work - it's very physical :-)

  • AWSOME Drumming your up there with Terry williams.Keep up the good work

  • That's very kind of you! But I am no where near as good as Mr Williams :-)

    Plenty more vids on the way!

  • wow! one of your videos was recommended to me by a drummer friend and through that i found this - crazily good! even though i'm not a drummer myself, it's stuff like this that makes me sure that if i could learn to play one thing, it would be a drumkit! i've never seen arms move that fast, epic!!

  • Hey, thank you! I am humbled that your drummer friend recommended one of my videos :-)

    Glad you like this one - yes, it is a bit hectic!!

  • must admit I'm not a fan of your snare sound, but a really really good cover nevertheless

  • Ha! Ha! Neither am I!!!!

    My tuning skills are non-existent, but I did recently change every batter and resonant head on the kit (er, some of the resonants had been on since 1987) and changed my snare wires, and things have certainly improved.

    Many thanks!

  • god i love your sticks! :P where do your get them and what brand are they

  • Ok!

    They are Flix sticks, and are made in Scotland. Get them from a good Ebay shop is easiest. More about Flix on my channel!

  • Great song, great interpretation. Love those fills--in my opinion, epic! Truly awesome drumming. Bravo!!

  • I thank you!

  • aaaaaa me olvide de poner que soy de argentina !

    yo quiero tocar asi algun dia

  • Google says this says -

    "aaaaaa make me forget I'm from Argentina!

    I want to play like that someday"

    Glad you like it :-)

  • la verdad que sos un groso viejaaa te pasas !!!

    igual la que mas me gusta es radar love !! :)

    grosooo un abrazo

  • Not sure what this says - something about your favorite vid of mine is Radar Love, I think, and soemthing about a big hug?

    :-)

  • buahahha no comment :)

  • What would you like me to say? You don't like my cover. Fair enough.

    It is the same song though. What I suspect you are actually trying to say is that my drumming is so awful and utterly inconsistent with the original, that it no longer even remotely sounds like the same song.

    Whatever...........

  • sorry but bad, it's not the same song :(

  • this is wonderful too!!! =)

    very good! ;)

  • Hi, i used to have lesson's off terry 3 years ago. Hes a friend of my grandfather. Im from Swansea. Unfortunately Terry turned to alcohol. He broke his leg about a week and half ago. Just thought id let you know haha. Exellent drumming cover aswwell mate. Pleasure to listen too.

  • Wow! Lessons off Terry would be amazing :-)

    Sorry to hear about the alcohol and the leg - jesus!

    Glad you enjoyed the cover!

  • @jouxplan : yeah i have a set of his sticks here. i will put pictures of me and terry up on here soon. keep up the good work :) brilliant !

  • song quality = 0 ;(

  • This is not good at all. Your mechanics are terrible. There is a kid on you tube that plays this better. I would not have posted this dude.

  • Thank you.

    For my part, I am proud of this video, and very glad that I posted it. Everyone else seems to like it too, have you noticed?

    My technique (mechanics?) is indeed terrible - I have never had any lessons and after 35 years of playing with brushes in order to not annoy neighbours, my technique is absolutely awful.

    Still, I manage to hit most things in about the right place, even if it looks crap.

    Ta.

  • @jouxplan. There was no offense intended here. The version you are playing is actually harder than the original, and you did better than I think a lot of drummers could do. I just get a little tired of so called "drummers" posting videos like they are pros and if you give them any criticism, you get told off and cussed at. Sorry if you got offended, I actually think it's pretty good especially for the level of difficulty for this version. Keep up the good work.

  • @jouxplan. Actually I watched it back a couple of more times and your speed and accuracy is incredible. Thats what will separate you from the pack. Awesome man.

  • @menoxu I am humbled, all the more so because your original comment was less than friendly! Thank you!

    Yeah, I hate getting into fights with people on YouTube, and I know what you mean about the way some us respond to criticism. I try very hard to avoid getting nasty, and respond to contructive criticism. I am my own worst critic anyway!

  • That is not assholes

  • Eh?

  • Merry Cmax friend, you have band men??

    cumps happy new year

  • Thank you. Merry Xmas to you too :-)

    I am in a band called Cornerstone. We play Hendrix / Clapton covers. Website address on my Channel page.

  • Amazing druming!!! nice cover man!

  • Nicely done pal. Not an easy version to drum to. Well done. Terry Williams would be proud.

  • I thank you!

  • This makes me want to play drums! Its a shame cos a couple have recently moved in and had a baby. Gutted!

  • Thank you! What a nice thing to say :-)

    Sorry about the baby though lol

  • nice cover man, very impressive

    what kind of ride is that your are using? also what are those stick made of? they sound kind of dead when you were doing the rim clicks around 6:05

  • I thank you!

    It is a 1987 Zildjian Impulse 22". It is a monster that I got when I was a student. I got it 'cos it looked cool as hell, which is a shame, 'cos I don't like the sound!!! There are pics and more detail on the 'kit' page of my jouxplan website (link on my channel).

    The sticks are Flix Sticks - bundles of nylon fibres, which behave a lot more like wooden sticks the jazz brushes. However, they are not designed for rimshots, as you have clearly spotted!

    :-)

  • haha yeah i thought they migt be brushes but i couldnt really tell from the video if they were or not.

  • What hihats do you use?

  • Istanbul Mehmet Radiant 13"

    More info on the 'kit' page of my website (link on my channel).

  • :D Great one!

  • you a terry fan

  • I've been waiting a cover like this for ever

  • I'm glad you like it!

  • What's the cat name? (from 0.58 to 1.07 in your back yard)

  • Milly

  • your pretty good Tom Hanks

  • What's about your neighbours?

    Eh eh,

    Davide

  • Ha! Ha!

    Lucky for me they are quite a long way away, and they are very understanding, and in fact, they seem to like it!

    :-)

  • But I really don't think I can play it properly!! I have tried a couple of times in recent weeks (I promise) and it is just too fast for me!!! Copeland is A BEAST on that one :-)

    Terry Williams is pretty special, certainly!

  • Really super drummer. I often and watch your videos here and I love it!! I´m a drummer too, for a year now but this is a very good inspiration!! Keep on going with this Alex! (Yes, i visited your webpage ;-) )

  • That's very kind of you! I thank you!

  • Maybe too much ?

  • Maybe too much what?
