@aldrichp You know in the studio you're supposed to beat the shit out of your drums to get a great sound and its way more nerve racking when you're recording for a full length CD not a drum cover on youtube, go watch him live and shut your ignorant mouth.
@bon2bonn it was a joke pertaining to the obfuscation video. I apologize if I offended you in anyway shape or form. I admire and respect Blake and consider him one of the best drummers in his genre. I in no way shape or form could play any of this incredible music.
i am known as a pretty good drummer, i can play fast and cross-stick, blast-beat, blah blah blah,.......but you have groove. dont lose that becuz ppl get caught up in the hype of going fast. definately can be a force to reckoned with if you stick to it. better than me
@CtrlRm i know they played the entire album at their cd release show for TGM, but i think you'd be pretty lucky to catch them playing this or even Foam Born a.
Yea i mean i bet blake has watched this video and is impressed. I listen to this album once everyday and am absolutely in love with all aspects especially the drumming. I'd really like to see you cover the whole thing obv you have the skillz.
In all seriousness, I really think this might be the best drum cover on youtube. It's flawless, and the drum/song volume ratio is perfect. This is just a perfect cover.
@SurFacingBoy93 agreed.. this one is much tighter. this isnt opinion. this is an objective assessment of the two; this cover is more accurate to the original and is technically superior.
yo when is that obfuscation cover coming up man?????? im getting impatient lolz i really wanna do it myself but im jus waiting 4 my friend to come through with the recording material..
i just spent 45 minutes pausing and rewinding the first 10 seconds over and over again ... i finally got it... it alternates between 7/4 and 4/4... ugh
also known as 15/8. I'm working on my "Obfuscation" cover/ transcription and there are literally 13 time signature changes in the first couple minutes. Ridiculous!!! How's yours coming, Habeeb?
im a huge fan of 001savagE's comment, lol. and i couldn't agree more. i used to play the drums but then my family moved to an apartment and there's no room. so this is the kinda shit i get by on, lol. this is sick
amazing! i love this song, it's actually one of my favorites on the album. you are so damn good though, i'm a drummer as well and i post a lot of drum covers but this one blows all of mine out of the water... 5 stars!!!
Would live to see more by you man, especially Btbam, Porcupine Tree, etc. Very good sound though I would enjoy a slightly closer angle. Thanks for the vids man!
Spot on, bro. Like everyone else here has said, GREAT tone. Do you play this a lot? It looks like you do. You seem very relaxed and comfortable, which is exactly how you should be when playing anything, especially something with such a comfortable beat. Five stars.
7/8-8/8 this is the right way to start off an album u really helped out cuz i dont think i would have been able to play that without actually seeing someone play it lolz
WOW. you are one of the most solid drummers i have seen. this song is such a great way to open the album too. i can barely map the time signatures, much less what the drums are doing. 5 stars bro.
Fantastic cover. Tone, rhythm, style.. everything is so much "you". Your flow just oozes your own signature style I cannot really describe. I can't wait to hear this album and see what song you do off of it. Officially I'd say do "Obfuscation" just so I can see you tear it up, but I really want to see what you choose and watch how you absolutely obliterate it. I cannot wait.
what can you say?
