darren king is definetly a drum genius, the beat he has is always consistent and amazingly unique everytime he plays, you are right on your way though, you are amazing too!
Pretty cool, man. I play it a little differently, but one thing that has to go in there is that Darren raises the high hat every 3rd beat at the last half of each verse. (he starts raising it for the first time at 0:33 ) Other than that, you're great.
Also, unrelated, I look almost exactly like you except I have dark brown hair. Cheers.
You were spot on in this one!! I won't disagree with you, Darren King is an OUTSTANDING drummer, one of the greatest talents now and quite possibly ever. I really enjoyed watching you play this song, MuteMath is one of my favorite bands ever!
man you are one serious ginger drum killing machine!!! you are not far out on it dude, and before peeps get defensive over the ginger reference, my lady, and mother of my boy is also of ginger origin....keep smashing them drums up fella!
He posted this video over two months ago, so no wonder he isn't playing 8th's with the left foot on the hi-hat. Until the first video was released of this song being played live, I honestly don't think anyone knew exactly what the hell Darren was playing. Nice job callen1034.
Callen, you are absolutely fantastic. And I agree 100% about Darren King. He is 'spot on' as a drummer, a true entertainer. Might I add that he is a member of one of the greatest bands in the world! I've been a fan for years and spread the word about them every chance I get!
Meeting Darren a few times he's such a down to Earth dude and he probally wouldn't agree with you when you typed in "Best drummer in the world" because if you research his influences you'll see where he gets his style from.
AWESOME COVER!!! I covered a mutemath classic "Typical" so when you can check it out....
I really like that you are modest and you seem to really respect the music. You play it as a tribute, not to show that you could do it better. Other drummers could learn from your example.
I'm so impressed with all that you do on the drums. Do you think you could cover some Muse songs like Stockholm Syndrom, Map of the Problematique, Hoodoo, and Hyper Music. Muse has some great drumming!
That was great man. Lets hope they don't take this down =) (just make sure you specify that the music doesn't belong to you, that might increase the chances of this great clip staying on)
when did this song come out, ive been waiting for there new album to come out and i had no idea a new song came out. BUt anyway very good job on the drums your really talented
Wow, at this rate you actually will do as many as you said you will this month!!!! I really enjoy your body/ drummer movements. You look really into it! I am trying to keep my comments different each time..... but.. all I have to say is just HOW GOOD EACH ONE OF YOUR DRUM COVERS IS. So I'm sorry if it gets redundant sometimes.
i love how you emulate darrens style in this video, especially with the headphone adjustments and the head movements. great videos man and great mute math, keep it up! maybe cover some of their old stuff? i would love a chaos or break the same cover...
this cover is actually money in the bank like mad respect bro looks like ur having fun too
