[prodrummerboy13]

[longview3000]

For some reason, I don't like the sound that's coming out of the hi-hat. But, nice cover man, better than what I will ever do.

[shlbirdman14]

[DrumminManXXL]

[jamiejujamie]

I can play this easy and I wanna upload a cover but I've not got a video camera :(

[jimmygt4]

good job would like to hear just your drums and not neils. sounds like only some cymbals are coming through on recording...nice set

[jkjk4069]

AMAZING! just simply AMAZING!

[aloywkd]

OHMIFUCKINGGOD:) the stick spin was awesome

[crazyedd123]

were you playing the bell of the ride cos it sounded different, unless that was the way they were picked up on the mics?

[SigurRosForever]

i dont like the sound of your ride bell, but other than that... AMAZING!!!!!

[EmilAhlback]

@SigurRosForever I agree, that bell sounds really awful. Everything else is spot on and really nice. :)

[rsaba]

You are great !!!!!

[therealtreeguy65]

[therealtreeguy65]

Damn Mike, get ya some!

I always figured you as more of a laid back jazz drummer but you through them sticks around like it was nothing., LOL Right On!

[rsfdesa]

Awesome!!!!!!!! Fantastic

[lamarscar]

[adam2point0]

thats quite the luxurious drum throne

[berny6337]

very good teacher,i liked you play very well the drums set.

[ebone9]

a great technical track for displaying the chops. never liked the song but no way in the world i could play it! huge minus points for twirling sticks in your own basement! that's lame no matter when / where someone does it.

[RedTwizzler]

@ebone9 Normally I would agree on the stick spinning thing, but he's being recorded, and he knows it, so he might as well throw in a little spice.

[rudiiwii1]

your bell stress me a lot

[kriletich]

@rudiiwii1 so it does with me xD, he should try by the edge..

[drummerrj56]

crotale for the beging



[dreadss64]

i just love the accents at 0:58

[mediumphill]

thats such a sweet kit set-up, one day I hope to afford a drum kit half as nice as that, awesome cover as well! This song is great for rudiments.

[astrella]

hey whats the rudiment you use for 0:37

[venture3973]

@astrella idk about mike but I do single strokes with a ruff at the begginng and a double at the end

[astrella]

@venture3973 ya thats what i tohught. but i also thought it may have been a double paradiddle all the way through

[TheMaster8061]

great job. mabye can u shot it at a different angle

[worldofdrumz]

Excellent job, I like it better than mine. Nailed it !!!

[rmckay74]

wheres the condom hat

[plenovo]

Hey man what's that rudiment at 4:01 i'm going berserk i can't figure it out

[venture3973]

@plenovo I think it's just single strokes

[megadaniel5]

nada mal tocando¡¡

[josiah005]

good job keep it goin

[rudiiwii]

are the red ones concert toms?

or kinda timbales?

[crazyedd123]

your drums are either too quiet or you're playing so well that you sync completely with the drum track

great job though, love the ride cymbal sound

[BrownBoyRosh]

@crazyedd123 he's playing too drumless track

[mikemichalkowdrums]

@BrownBoyRosh no I'm not.... but thanks

[GxCxOTheGoodLife]

ok i have seen alot of drumming on youtube and i dont play drums but this guy to pull off YYZ so perfect blows me away!!!

[kkaazzii]

COOL!!!! Great drumming!

[mickalmighty]

1.44

fuckin LOL!

nicely played x

[29dave]

Can anybody tell me how to play the fill from 1:50 to 1:53 ? I've been trying to figure out exactly what he's playing (note values and sticking). Thanks....

[sabracadabra1973]

spot on cover

[rushfan89]

Great job mate. Very effortless and fluid performance. I love you set up by the way...with the old keith moon multi-layer toms (with the electronic drums). Keep posting!

[AirmetalDrummer]

You shoulda been the drummer for the 2 guys' band in "I Love You, Man." For some reason I think you woulda fit in with them really well.

SLAPA DA BAYSS!!

[DarkDescent321]

[ProgressiveMachinery]
