Protest The Hero - "Sequoia Throne"

[idkporko]

Fucking Ace man! I drummed for 10 years and I can tell you, this shit was perfect! ;D

[itsnicksharpbro]

You playing protest the hero.. Mad props man.

[VegetableBasket]

Incredible. Why'd it end soon?

[Ihatethisalready17]

hell yea dude! This is AWESOME!!!!!! and i know this song is very difficult to play... everything by PTH is hard to play...on every instrument...

[stonefosho]

who coughed at 1:32

[Killenmachine05]

solid cover man.

[Xyngular]

another example of: you don't need big kits to sound fucking awesome.

[Esdrubil]

the precision is wonderful...the times and everything...but u are about to get an infarction! u should use more u'r wrists...and not that much the harms...cause like this u'r using too many energy and get tired really quick!

But u are there kid! keep on...really enjoyed it!

[29ryan49]

Looks like a T-rex playing drums. Might me comfertible for him, but probably isn't good for hit back or wrists.

[josephgervasi]

dude, dominant drumming. dead on. i think you missed one double up on the ride around 2:20, i may be mistaken, but honestly either way grade a drumming.

[wananananana8D]

i think i found a new favorite song lol, thanks for showing me this band

[EgoZerrro]

mmm. I think, best drum cover of this song)

[RyanJC19]

anyone got tabs or anything?

[x5killah]

Near perfect but whys ur set so compacted?And lose the wrists

[royfan3035]

His technique and setup are clearly effective. I don't see the need for a change just because it is unconventional.

[stevo946]

@royfan3035

howbout carpal tunnel syndrome?

[royfan3035]

That is not a certainty, but I can understand that concern. The technique works for this guy so whatever.

[iloveskateboarding45]

@x5killah why reach?

[Loustrikesagain]

@x5killah It's his own preference how he plays he sets up his kit. What ever is most comfortable for you should be what how you play.

[MrNotch9]

@x5killah i saw that too



[Nikkeloodeon]

This is skillz when you play this song with such small set. And you're holding your drum sticks weird way but it doesn't matter if you can play like that.

[levipearl2112]

it was a good cover but put your drum track a tiny bit louder or else its pointless

[MLGxDominator]

lol with his arms and drumsticks the way he has them he looks like a jockey from left 4 dead2.

good job though

[killercreek450]

well played, but ur wrists must be in pain

[CrossVayne]

whatta kinda kit?? how much? pleae get back to me bro. :P

sick job btw! i think you should relax ur wrists a little more tho.

[mateenowns]

holy shit that was good!

[killercreek450]

pretty good but put some passion into it man, gotta ROCK the kit u know

[nowbthechange84]

excellent:) Thank you good Sir!

[pakevitch]

Lets fuckin rock man! VERY DAMN GOOD!

[skatemanevan]

very accurate

BUT LOOSEN UP YOUR WRISTS

you'll play so much better :P

[ktails9]

your right hands all sped like

[guitarist1990]

@ blindnukka: I knew there was a reason for that!

[Insertyourcoin]

fuck yes :D

[sappypesticide]

ur bass if fucking beast

[blindnukka]

bud up there has been playin for some time in the music worl we call it the drummer claw it actually really helps with fast awkward measured beeats much love dawggy keep bangin those pots and pans keep it up much loove bro

[Deansly29]

Lol Your Right Hand Looks Retarded!

[questionvideo]

what a beast

[krugmeister67]

awesome

[Brandon4658]

Not the hardes song for drums just a lot of bass but Well done dude. and I need new Cymbals haha mine suck :P

[DionMurderfuck]

You make this look so smooth, bro. Well done

[DeathCail]

This band has nothing on Saosin.

[Silentmidget44]

Are you kidding me? Saosin wishes they had the musical talent that Protest has, dream on.

[ricky0086]

That style or technique is gonna wind up causing some fucked up problems in the future! I know he needs to loosen up. Dude looks like hes trying to take a shit! Just loosen up some and flex them wrist, try some wrist warm ups to get it flexing nice and good. other than that, some if it is a little busy, but otherwise pretty good!

[lilcarv]

I agree with what a few are you are saying but if he's comfortable then whatever. Everybodies got there own technique and style.

[lilcarv]

I agree with what a few of you are saying but honestly there is no wrong way to play drums unless it's harming you. I do agree that it's best for him to loosin up, but...Everybodies got there own style and seems as if he's comfortable with playing that way.

[a7xguitarfreak]

Amazing

[outonguard]

wrists... I'm sorry if you have distrophy or something, but if you don't, there's no excuse.

[Kaikojo]

You have a great sense of rhythm and beat. You should loosen up your wrists. You'll get more snap then so your playing will have more distinction; you'll get a better range of volume and more control. Your drumming speed will also increase. You're drumming will look better, as well. Excellent cover.

[dyerone444]

cool

[jaksplitter]

GREAT

[38decembers]

I agree avedisdrummer989 about bending your wrists.I mean your damn good-no doubt-but down the road in a few years your either goind to get carpal tunnel or tendenitis and it's goind to hurt like hell playing drums(just ask my drummer about that).But you do kick ass!!!

[avedisdrummer989]

I do agree with most of the comments so far. You're playing is great, but the sticks look like extensions of you're forearms, as in you're not using your wrists at all. You're gonna hurt yourself doin that.

[killmantheoneandonly]

good fukin job man it looks hard good beat to.

[10zach95]

its good u look like your arms are stiff... losin up

[crushhhhhh]

haha zildjian crash. sabian hihat paiste ride

[avedisdrummer989]

And somehow he nailed it even though he didn't have matching brand cymbals???

I didn't think it was possible!!!

[crushhhhhh]

didnt say he wasnt good. just pointing out all of them are different. most stick to same brand aside from a cymbal or 2.

[drumtum81]

who cares dude?

[crushhhhhh]

and again, wasnt saying he was bad, wasnt saying anyone cared, just pointing something out. how does me pointing out something make me a dick? geez...

[johnnydmusic]

really good overall.

i do have to say though; i do agree with donttypestupidthings just a little bit.. you're really tense. play exactly like you did (cause it was really good) just relax more and enjoy it.

Good Job!

-Johnny D Music

[marvelrox]

2:37 to 2:45 it looked like that hurt a lot!! but all and all a great drum cover, awesome job!!

[andrew12398]

Crazy job, keep up the good work!

[NomadsOfAmerica]

Nice snare tone man! spot on cover.

[RoKcYmouNtain]

awesome cover!!

[donttypestupidthings]

extremely tight and robotic. move your elbows back and let your wrists swing a bit. apart from that, you nailed the song. very nice indeed

[itscoolbro2]

That gives me hope for my tiny drumset. Great cover, man.

[mtxrules]

sweet cover. very tight playin. I dont think you missed a beat. 5 stars.

[Rawbstuh]

badass man

[TaintFace0420]

Great job man!

[mickey8897]

Buddy this is epic.... nice work

[Jazzertron888]

my favorite thing about this song is the snare fills after the phrases. like at 0:24 and 0:34

[heroesdieonsaturday]

I like this. I had never heard of Protest The Hero before this cover. I'll look them up. Andre, can you recommend any more bands that I might like. You're pretty aware of my taste in Misery Signals and such.

[drebravo]

Thanks a lot man! You should check out this band from the UK called Fell Silent, you might like them.

[NomadsOfAmerica]

misery signals = amazing

[jsteele07189]

@heroesdieonsaturday I recommend Periphery :)

[MrNotch9]

@heroesdieonsaturday protest the hero, scale the summit, the human abstract are 3 pretty good metal bands.

[elementite]

nice cover, check my bloodmeat cover xD

you should make more covers from misery signals, branden morgan is fukcn sick O:

[osanan]

5 stars! You deserve at least 5 fucking stars! O_O

[CANADAmAn85]

Cool (:

Are those the "A Costum Rezo" Cymbals

[phil000ipp]

awesome! good work!

[yomomma753]

nice shit

[GeneralMillss]

its almost like he has no wrists

[adrenalynejunky]

ya mabye but he playing good right ;)

[lbkinthehouse]

haha yeah lol

[merotsio]

nevermind dude im a newb to youtube and i just found out you live in the states FUCK....... well thats cool keep rockin man you have yet another fan.

[merotsio]

Hey man I NEED NEED a drummer like you. I live in Winnipeg, I'm a bassist and i need a drummer as good as you are. If you know anyone who lives here who rocks as good as you and isnt in a band let me know man, we're hurting out here not a lot of free drummers available, well that are good any ways. if you live in winnipeg quit your band if your in one and join mine lmao haha.... no but seriously you rock keep it up.

[Drawinjunk]

i play drums, and am in winnipeg...

[drumlinefreak13]

got the whole set up right too!

[rockdablock12]

frikin sweet

but

1.) i agree with the arm thing. try your wrist

2.) great job for a small set

and 3.) i dont understand wut 15/16 timing is

[mybrainondrums]

haha, protest uses some WIERD ass timing, reason i cant play it

agree w/the wrist thing, its dificult at first cause you want to just use your arm, feels more natural, but once you get it down you get a lot faster and easier play

[korman7]

im pretty sure it means that they bar stops a sixteenth note before they bar would origonaly end at, and the next bar starts.

[JEJ0090]

15 beats in a bar and the 16th note get one beat. its like fast 4/6 i guess.

[JEJ0090]

sorry i meant to say fast 5/4

[bogfrog321]

15/16 time is nothing like 5/4. If anything it is like 7/8 but with an extra sixteenth note

[skahalakemd]

nice drummin..

lol my dad has the same shorts :P

[dannyfart]

good drumming but dont your whole arm!

[csyrgrs]

mmm tasty. i find that using more of my arm than wrist helps control my timing on some of the ridiculous stuff nice job

[GeneralMillss]

ITS CALLED USING YOUR WRISTS

[aiodfjij0043]

keep it up and just a hint.... tweak your snare a bit

[nastynatenumba8]

rage1994-joey frtom slipknot sucks and so does slipknot

[Bunny456]

nicely done

[JasonDekoning93]

yea dont sit that close dude but ur good

[MikeLeGars]

Yeah !!! Thats fucking nice man !!!

[kurtthornley]

sick asssssss cover yo

[MasterLinuxer]

Well done!

Awesome job.

[AWilhelmJens]

Awesome job man!

[wrbbdrummer89]

flawless! That was the best cover ive heard! I cant sit that close dude. I feel cramped. I sit about a foot back from where you are. I love the faces you make too bro! U really got into that cover. U were like, fuck, im so good. lol

[drumkid5]

really nice job,

in all seriousness,

but, i would only advise one thing, to loosen your top hi hat, its looking a little stiff

thats about it,

great job,

oh. and by the way, nice singles at the end

[Grant117]

Wow your too fuckin good that roll at the end was intense

[heroesfan44]

i want drums.or a bass guitar.and i know they're bth completely dif instruments for the most part,but which one should i get?

[thatonekidevan]

i like drums, but nothing beats a fatty bass solo.

:D

[AlabamaManWhore]

If i wasnt a drummer id be a bass player

[Rage1994]

depends on wat u want 2 do

if u wanna play drums u cant practice 4 10 minuits. drums r 1 of those things where u wanna be as good as joey slipknot when u have only been playing for 3 months so its all in the patiantce and thinking about it all day

bass is in my opionion the thing that gives the kick in the song and when u break out a nice tastey lick on the bass at a gig ppl will love ya

hope that helped ya

[VikingsOnCall]

its joey jordison from slipknot not joey slipknot.. shit

[LeperAffinity]

loljoeyjordison

[VikingsOnCall]

???

[crushhhhhh]

is that a rev snare?

[chezzisaprick]

Nailed that man, but remember, use your full snare arm, not just robot moves, loosen up!

[Jdrummer]

Killer job man...

If you are taking critique...

-Just work on your attack. Use your full arm (Moeller motion) to get more power in your strokes...Watch some vids on the moeller and you will see what I am talking about...

Props dude

[voden6]

Dude he did fine... and he is fine where he is at on his set... he dosent have to move back.... Drummers can drum wherever they are comfortable at and if you dont know this then you arent a really good drummer. Plus you should know by now that all drummers make facial expressions.

[bogfrog321]

That was practically perfect, 5 star, just move away from ur set a bit lol

And those were some messed up facial expressions

[TheFith]

Aw, dude! What a cliffhanger! That was sick playing, fo sho...

[artyeum]

nice man but ur sitting a lil close to the drum kit, look how far back your arms are

[dmonofpeac]

Nice job bro

[Epictranslate]

amazing job, mad props.

[themetaliscoming]

[TheBizwomp]

Loosen up that hi-hat Dawg

[davesXe]

[ke812]

[maneakman0202]

[xxnarnarnarxx]

Yet again proving that a big kit doesnt mean good drumming. Great job. You should replace my drummer :P

[JChandlerrecords]
