A Man A Plan - Fall Of Troy Drum Cover

[Nolan5k]

can you just cover like, nearly every fall of troy song? oh you did? forget i said anything

[rancidfx999]

is it even a ride?

[Multiwatered]

sounds great to me

what type of Pearl is that? I don't recognize the badge

[IJSquad]

duuude... niiice

[IknowJo3]

aaaaaa! so good

[DownSouthable]

Why arent you proud of it you stayed perfectly on tempo and played it almost exactly like the song.

[MegaTwilight5]

Man...can u play rimshots with the snare that low...Obviously you would bang into your legs trying...n.n XP

[bigace511]

You should cover "The circus that brought us back to these nights (Yo Chocola) by The Fall of Troy.

[nick850sk8r]

@bigkdeezy maybe but your sounds like shit.

[bigkdeezy]

@nick850sk8r how?

[nick850sk8r]

@bigkdeezy because you probably use stock mics on a shitty camcorder. and your crash ride sounds teribble. actually i dont even know what it is from the sound it could be just a crash.

[bigkdeezy]

@nick850sk8r if you'd open your fucking eyes it'd be obvious that i didn't use any mics. i'll admit that ride sounds terrible, but there is a giant chunk missing and i can't afford another cymbal right now. i just watched your videos of your band, and you have a whole lot of room to talk shit.

[leprekan987]

You're a natural at hearing music and being able to play it, that's gnarly.

[ZiPocky]

you guys should seriously check out The Secret War, theyre very impressive. They really remind me of TFOT. myspace / tsw

[liveyalife1221]

how old r u now

[areexbandit]

@liveyalife1221 I just turned 18, this video is like 2 years old.  I play a lot better now, this to me is crap. Once I get my new macbook pro in may or june, I'll post more updated videos that I will actually be proud of.

[TheFernandotorres17]

@areexbandit what are you talking about this is Good:D

[bigkdeezy]

your fills at 0:24 and 0:35 for example are wrong, it's just snare and bass drum. don't make it more complicated than it needs to be. other than that this was pretty impressive.

[ChaostheClown]

prog drummings the best.

PROG DRUMMERS UNITE!!!!!

fuck yeah man.

[kevingoesrawr]

super difficult song to cover with all the abrupt changes (that goes for almost any Fall of Troy song though haha) really good job dude.

[OutlawJoseyWales44]

Jesus dude...you are really good bro! Nice job man 10/5

[IlxVeNoMxIl]

fucking impressive. you're great.

[kyljamdal69]

very good

[justsomepeople]

damn impressive.

[zeet2]

HHX Groove Ride 21" is the shit when playing fall of troy, is that the one you'r using? doesn't have the same tone really.

[tyler713247]

3:31 sweet drum lick! great job

[phreshsk821]

this is super duper legit!

[Riveascor]

Where'd you get this tab?

[exsymphony]

epic

[embraceyourcomputer]

good job man, its good.

[JazzyMathUh]

Nice, man

[ThatOneHxCKid]

I envy you and your set, honestly. And keep your ride. Love the sound.

[physcokiller]

nice. get a new ride.

[areexbandit]

yea ill just throw my 315 dollar one in the trash

[Kerburki]

Gnarly :D

[JeffWhitt]

solid dude :)

[BorisGaquere]

for the part with the diminished seventh arpeggios, dont use your right hand for the snare, just play it twice with your left hand. much less motion, much more comfortable to play.

[JasonLorelei]

I believe you mean diminshed fifths.

[BorisGaquere]

are you fucking retarded? do you have any idea what a diminished seventh chord is? open a fucking book.

[JasonLorelei]

Wait...where in the video are yo talking about?

And yes I know what a fucking diminished seventh chord is.

[BorisGaquere]

apparently not, fucking amateur

[JasonLorelei]

I don't need your fucking attitude you piece of shit. If you meant the part at 2:01, those are clearly tritones played between perfect octaves, with no seventh. I may just be learning my shit, but I know what the fuck I'm talking about. I'm the top in my class.

[BorisGaquere]

class? youve never taken a music class in your life you fuck. you dont know jack shit about music. keep playing your power chords you fucking failure bitch piece of shit faggot dick sucker.

[JasonLorelei]

Shut the fuck up. By watching some of RXbandit's other videos I can see you're just one of those assholes who loves to start shit on peoples' videos. So fuck off, I don't have to deal with this shit.

[BorisGaquere]

well you are fucking dealing with it, you fucking no-life failure, because you keep reading my comments. go out fucking side, you piece of shit, and learn what music is. learn what a fucking quarter note is you retarded fucking moose fucker

[ToolRushTheater]

They are tritones, otherwise known as diminished fifths. There is not a seventh played, so it's obviously not a seventh chord. Next time just admit that you were wrong. You had some good advice though with the snare, it is tons easier.

[cubefiend]

impressive stuff 5*

[spezy93]

you didnt do this all in one shot? 3:26

[person1343246]

The video just lagged.

[PurpleHippopotamus]

idk what your talking about, hes getting into it just fine.

[DeltaJuliett]

very good attempt. last minute is an effort and you did it well. well done

[Gunther4204]

this guy is pretty good but wat i dont like is like how he doesnt seem to be enjoying himslef while he plays like he plays hella lazy,during the first breakdown wen i play tht on drums its one of the funnest times to play durin tht song he just to worryed about playin the song perfectly that he doesnt let himself go cuz for me i dont like watchin people play a song note per note i love it better wen u add ur own twist to it and im not gettin anythin out of this video hes good dnt get me wrong

[areexbandit]

oh no dude the only reason that is is cause i played this song over and over again for like an hour and i was tired as fuck haha trust me i let it out on the drums, plus i don't even play this way anymore ive gotten a hell of a lot better

[toymachineskater96]

wow that is amazing how you play that whole song perfeclly!!!!!!

[SimondoYEAH]

MACHINE

[pidrgu]

andrew forsman is ur father?

U LUCKY *****

[dustintheguitarplayr]

Lol wow honestly I did not expect that out of you. This is excellent for how complicated the timing is in this song. How long have you been playing?

[grafiti51]

nice man:O

i play my drums to tfot all the time

but this song is intense cuz all split time lol

but its progressive music :]

[Avenger666]

HOLY SHIT

[ferretjka]

Dude, that was crazy.

[1roiboi]

Got Damn Kid You're Good On Drums Bro Keep Practicing

[SIBLaredo]

holly shit wow

thats all i have to say

[Marlonakanemo]

omg amazing and great stamina btw its hard to tackle a 8min song lol

[adioskaterdude999]

absolute beast man...

amazin job

[username9999234]

Fucking crazy.

That was great mad props.

[william4789]

you play a good job here, mate.

[Dogma3721]

Your using a timpani grip, A.K.A French Grip, turn your wrists inward.

[areexbandit]

i play however i want why should i turn my wrists inward for you?

[Dogma3721]

Or you could be rude about it? Lol. I was just trying to lend a hand. It's just how it's been done for ages. I think it helps prevent those nasty bone and muscle conditions like arthiritis or carpal tunnel. I don't really know! You can play how you want, I was just telling you what I've been taugh.

[areexbandit]

word man its all good i was just joking around... i've never taken lessons so i have no idea how to do any of that technical shit i just play whatevers comfortable... never meant any rudeness by it haha

[ChaostheClown]

@areexbandit for never being formally trained ever that's amazing. i do believe you're the best drummer i've seen to not have any real traditional technique. but that's fine, really, whatever works for you. i'm sure it may help a little but if you can do without then keep on truckin.

[aszulczewski]

Actually thats a decent jazz grip.

Just use more wrist and you'll be able to fly around the set without even trying.

Great job by the way.

[areexbandit]

thanks g

[burninator22]

damn nig

[andrew12398]

Hella good job dude.

[xdeathinautumn]

nice playing, but my back hurts just watching you.

[musicequalsgood]

that was fucking amazing! I don't think Forsman thought many could replicate it, but here ya fuckin are.

[Checkerdude47]

What Cymbal are those dude? Iv'e got sabians. But I want to update my cymbals!

[areexbandit]

sabian hhx and sabian aa metal crash

[DARKLEXYC]

You are very... good

haha you do it like prefectly the same XD

[smokeyandcraig]

eh. nopt bad :P

upload a version playing it correctly though.

you're not doing andrew justice.

[cautioner]

BLAMMO!

Nice man

[AWilliams7878]

Awesome job man...I think it's funny people criticizing parts of this though...that can't read the description or even realize how insane FOT drums are

[areexbandit]

word

[drummerpanacea]

that is truly amazing. how long did it take to learn this song? the fall of troy is one of the toughest bands to cover. I havent ven tried this song yet. check out my ex- creations cover. feel free to comment

[areexbandit]

i just recorded it after a couple hours of trying to play the song i wasn't going for perfection on this song i was kinda just jamming to it thats why some parts are off but for the most part i had it down...now i can play it perfectly cause i spent a little more time with the details after i recorded it

[FreshSoup]

wow...I love Fall of Troy and you just showed how much fun it is to play them on drums

[areexbandit]

word

[texaskid14]

damn dude thats fucking awesome

50 stars

[Llamaprince]

Wow man.

All your covers are completely sick. Mad props. And good song choices too! What i wouldn't give to be able to play like that...

I've got a song request though. It would be completely epic if you could do a cover on Ghostship Part IV. Its one of my favorites, and i would love to see you do it.

Keep up the amazing shit dude...amazing shit.

[areexbandit]

ha thanks dude

i broke my computer with my camera on it so i can't record but im working on like 6 songs so once i get it fixed and those recorded id love to work on that song its sickk i can play it on guitar, but i haven't learned it on drums yet

[redneckflava]

although it's an awesome cover, it looks nothing like the tabs i found for it.

[chialike1291]

Video editing at 3:27-3:28?

[areexbandit]

yah what happens is when my computer takes to much movement, it lags a little so i have to cut out a millisecond to realign the video...but back when i made this video, i didn't know that so i was cutting it and shit cause the lag thing was pissing me off, and i know its a lag and not my playing because once it lags in one place, the whole rest of the video is off as opposed to where if it was me playing, only parts would be off and not the entire thing so sorry if some of my videos do that

[tfot34]

At 1:27 he uses bass instead of the tom your using. And at the breakdown at 6:27 your leaving out a lot of bass drum notes. But good job overall. I was bored when my family was driving down to florida and I wrote out this entire song. Haha

[metalwillhatecrew]

Awesome job. Don't listen to all of the haters. I've played guitar and bass for about 5 years or so and I've recently gotten into drums and they are A LOT harder than people seem to think.

[areexbandit]

yah they are

but once you get used to them, theyre so fun

[killthenazis84]

i mean whacko jacko

haha

[killthenazis84]

awesome cover dude

you should try whack jack steals the elephant mans bones

[pushherinthesnow]

Wow, everyone's really hating on your covers lately, huh? Pretty gay that they gotta ruin it like that. People really feel the need to be dicks on you tube. It's retarted. I like your style though. Whatever.

[areexbandit]

haha yah whatever its no big deal

people just like to talk shit on youtube because they know they can get away with it without proving anything

its all good

[chriscaustic]

Not bad, but your hands look like crap.

Work on your technique and don't be so tense when you play!

[areexbandit]

well this drum cover is shit i hate this one

but dude im loose when i play not tense

i used to the drop the stick a lot cause i was so loose

and as for technique... i taught myself these things like 2 years ago so yah idk about that shit

and eventually when i get better ill develop my own technique but i think im starting to

watch i just got this symphony goin or sledgehammer my techniques getting better in those at least i think

[cardoz0rz]

good cover.

although you use a lot of unnesessary double bass.

a lot of it can be done with one foot.

work on that.

[MyLacesAreOut]

i love the breakdown at 2:26

[Bethisatree]

i've been thinking about doing more drums than guitar.

i think i'll do it.

your REAL GREAT.

TFOT<3

[areexbandit]

i played guitar for 2 years before i started drums

i still play

but i like drums wayyyyyyy better

so much more fun to play

and you get into it and more in tune with the songs

and for some reason it makes you a better dancer hahaha

so definitely go for the drums!

[FourTwentyBitch]

ive played bass for 5 years and guitar for even longer. i got drums for xmas, and i already love playing them more than either guitar or bass. guitar is still a lot of fun, but i just love rockin out sick grooves.

[billyrohnsenreturns]

once again. nice.

[Superdogg23]

BEAUTIFULLLL!

[teesche]

absolutely awesome. seriously, i'm impressed. you even noticed all the small details. but there is one thing, of which i'm not quite sure: i think, at the end part (around 7:30 in the real song), andrew plays snare and bassdrum together during those fast parts - you know which part i mean? it's fast as hell and really hard to play. i looked forward to this part while watching your video - but you didn't do the thing :-(

but of course nevertheless: definitely amazing. fucking respect.

[areexbandit]

haha yah i know what your talking about.... this whole video was just me jamming to it i didn't really learn it perfectly, especially the end

check out the end of macaulay mcculkin tho starting at like 6:00 ...thats some good stuff right there ha

[teesche]

it sure is. awesome band in general

[240fly]

great fnig job.

[ericmiller1215]

Sick as shit.

im learning this now and when i dont have manipulator in a play to your vid to get that feeling like its andrew.

[CircaX94]

Haha, this makes me feel like a fucking terrible drummer. This is like, the best TFOT drum cover I've ever seen.

[bananax182]

haha. Word. I'm going to go practice and try to catch up to this guy.

Great vid!

[farmboy504]

your rise is amazing.

[areexbandit]

do you mean ride?

and if you do, then yes i love it...best 300 bucks spent of my life..

[farmboy504]

yeah, i meant ride. my bad XD

[areexbandit]

np

its sick isn't it

its the sabian hhx 20in stage ride if your wondering

and my two crashes are sabian aa metal crashes 18 in and 16 in

i love my set haha

[farmboy504]

im more of a paiste guy, but sabians are awesome too.

[drummerguy124]

zildjians for life, nothing beats them

[farmboy504]

actually, bosphorus owns all.

[drummerguy124]

yeah if you like sticking things in little boys than yah that might be the right cymbal to use

[superhacay]

nice cover!!!first person ive seen playing this hard song...excelent

saludos desde Ecuador mi pana...

[person1343246]

lol.

after the pause you came in at the wrong time... and i thought i was the only one who couldnt figure the timing out haha.

nice cover though.

ill post one once i get a double pedal.

what program did you use to put the actual song in the background of the video?

i really need to know how to do that, otherwise my videos will remain lame

[areexbandit]

haha yah its hard to get that right on

i only ran through this once so theres a shit load of mess ups in it and i fixed all them so ill re record it soon whenever i can

i have a macbook pro with the camera built in and i use imovie to put the song on it

[person1343246]

lol.

[noyps2]

p.s BOSE head phones!

[areexbandit]

im using bose headphones...they just broke on one side so i have to put the other headphones underneath them

[noyps2]

pretty good man.

id like to see a recording of someone covering this song with a single bass pedal though. ANY tfot with a single bass pedal.

[areexbandit]

why? the drummer uses a double bass pedal...

[noyps2]

more difficult/variety/etc. Ive seen it done before, but only live, would like to see a video one day. Dont get me wrong, still a good cover.

[areexbandit]

yah but you're taking half the bass out...and there's more coordination that you have to have to play with a double bass pedal...i just don't get how you can play a song that uses double bass without your double bass pedal...cause if you replace it with toms, then you lose most of your cymbals in the song, and personally i think cymbals are more important to have down than the toms in most songs on drums

[guitarman74]

last time i checked andrew didnt use a double bass pedal

[areexbandit]

well he does at least on manipulator... listen to seattlantis, there's double bass in that in the intro and the outro... and in this song there's double bass in the intro, in fact the very first thing he plays in this song is with double bass and theres some in fills throughout the song...also in almost pretty much every other song on manipulator he uses double bass

[noyps2]

yes he does use a double bass pedal. I was just saying single bass pedal work sounds amazing on songs such as this. Single Pedal work meaning, all the beats are played, not replaced, on a single bass pedal instead of a double. Didn't mean to confuse you sorry.

[areexbandit]

its cool i was just trying to make it closest i could to the original song

[andrew12398]

No, he definitely does.

[MatthaisTheAlias]

LOVE THIS BAND TOO. Great job man. Oh, would you happen to recommend me a band like TFOT? It's hard finding stuff like them.

[areexbandit]

uhh protest the hero is kind of like them...suicide machines are not like them but they are really really good so check them out..i don't know who else

[TheBlueEyedSky]

If Your looking for bands that are like TFOT then I would suggest later Hot Cross, Pierce The Veil, and if your really open and into insane virtuoso musicianship, Tera Melos.

[marleyo1]

holy shit. dude youre insane. ive never been able to get this cuz the timing is so weird. MAJOR props.

[areexbandit]

haha thanks...it was really sloppy im redoing it soon itll be a lot better

[imtanneryo]

really good. ;)

[stukorn]

simply awesome man, a real talent!

[CoreyAutobee]

hot damn that was NICEE

[AbueloFrio]

you are great

[Juuliannn]

that was dope dude

you play it pretty flawless
