[OHHMYGOAT91]

PLAY LIKE A BOSS

[enokzoza]

Perfectly executed!

[Migqell789]

their is one word for this BOSS

[feddess]

[rehun]

Goddamn dude. That was so sick. Props dogg.

[Zildjian128]

Dude right on! I have been working towards covering this and I was a little unsure about the transistional fills but you showed them right on! Keep playing! :)

[ricardoieci]

How do u tune your snare?, can explain, sounds great.

[wrightdrums]

@ricardoieci the top head varies generally on what mood im in but the bottom head is usually quite tight to get the crack out of the snare

[Rodrigotreino]

Muito bom! Ficou excelente!

[liamdrummer28]

what do you use to write out the score?

[joshoates1]

The only reason I clicked on this drum cover/tutorial is to hear the chorus.

[jamirosmajicrocks]

good that you have a cover and a lesson in a video , best lessons!

[TheJsseishi]

wow. just MEGA cool.

[XxSuqqaDaddyxX]

holy crap ronnie from the jersey shore rocking some foo fighters!! :D

[DudeThatDrums]

Can you please explain how to do the fill at 7:06

[Ch0colatepuff]

Hey man, this information might be somewhere that I"m unaware of, but are you self-trained? I see alot of jazz in your fundamentals: your limb independence, finger control, flow, all your knowledge of the ins and outs of rhythm placement, etc... Did you go to school?

[wrightdrums]

@Ch0colatepuff I was privately taught when i began at age 10 until a began high school (age 15) from which i self my self since.

[Ch0colatepuff]

@wrightdrums Wow! Huge props. That takes a lot of passion and talent to end up as good as you are now, cheers man.

[killswitchhabib]

7:36 he does a silent fill lol

[allmetaliswelcome]

hey man could you maybe do a lesson porcupine tree's futile?

[123nossrettep]

thank you great idea to do lessions its so hard to find good once

[SuperElectricninja]

And you do all these lessons for free? Thanks a lot bro

[Daineens]

Dude, why you aren't world fameous drummer??

[mariohmfungus]

amazing! make drum cover from another foo fighters song... everlong maybe?

[davidcadena1027]

Is it me or did the bass guitar move at 1:26....haha....awesome cover man!!! =)

[reinyschuil]

you're a beast dude! good and clear explenation, but can you also teach how to play the solo's?

[wrightdrums]

@reinyschuil hey man its all written in the transcript

[DWillem]

very impressive! Keep on the good work!

[drumtillyoudropdead]

what mixer do you use ? great cover

[TheKrakenLegend]

Dude you look like Ronnie in Jersey Shore... XD

[110996man]

@TheKrakenLegend But he is inteligent. Ronnie isn't.

[TheKrakenLegend]

@110996man Yes I agree ! :P

[PeterAshmore10]

Hey mate, amazing cover, Every fill was executed perfectly. I also really envy a drummer who has the time to practice to metronome outside the studio. One small thing I noticed about your drumming and I don't know if you know this but when you strike the snare you sustain the hit which chokes the skin, not letting it resonate to its full potential and can also be more strenuous on the wrist and hand. Beautiful drumming though dude. Fair play! :)

[Eduardo1999madara]

GREAT COVER!!!

[blablasak]

I've watched many of your videos, the first ones were your Meshuggah medleys, Animals as Leaders, and after that some tutorials and now this one. It's amazing how flexible you are in your playing! You cover some of the most technical and challenging music I've ever heard, you add own elements to it, you are a great teacher and you can adept to this kind of "simple" rock without showing off, despite your great skills! A true inspiration indeed! Keep the videos coming! Cheers from Sweden!

[MrPiazza82]

Gotta love that Neil peart signature ride beat..it could be used in any song and sound great o.o

[darkel44]

Hey Great job...I just came up from my drum room....I was going to throw my sticks through the wall.....this will make it easier to learn!!

[angelbatery]

esta genial!!! que buena idea!!! it's great!!! congratulations!!! good video!!!

[WiredDrummer]

Did anyone else see the guitar almost falling? lol great lesson and cover!

[DillingerEscapeMan]

@wrightdrums Have you heard 82588 by Dillinger Escape Plan ? The drum track for that is a Mario Boss. Btw love the foos, meshuggah, animals as leaders, and your drumming

[Maxietaxie100]

awesome good job keep it up

[MVDRUMS11]

....VERY NICE....THOUGH I WOULD OF LIKED TO SEE YOU PLAY/EXPLAIN THE FIRST FILL ON THE SNARE DRUM.....LOVE THE CORE BEAT PLAYED DOWN TEMPO INTO A TEMPO!!!! THEN THE ADDITIONAL STUFFS ADDED IN!!!!

[jperez2222]

who saw the guitars move at 1:28 o -o

[ChronoGXay]

@jperez2222 - It was a ghooost!~ ~~( O w ~ )~~

[joelbeng9]

You must be a great cardriver.

Amazing footwork.

[behlboy90]

[ReMeDY0112]

Outstanding mate... Best i have seen...

[Aquaboy99]

[dumadave10]

[ostkapi]

no sólo le da a Meshuggah...

[17shadowoftheday]

amazing dude. everything about it. love the sound of your kit, totally spot on with the cover, refreshing to see in the middle of this whole cobus fanboy phase.

[ashthebash32]

Anyone notice his guitar move at 1:29 ??

[Delusion97]

WOWOWOW!!! this is sick dude! if u like foo fighters u should get the taylor hawkins signature sticks there sweet

[gbdweller]

@Delusion97 I agree. Those sticks feel great for this kind of stuff.

[Delusion97]

@gbdweller Yeah they do! but do the graphics come off on urs, they do on mine :L

[unzki5]

1:25 scary bass quitar in left :OO

[Cocotheclowification]

you are a god! thanks so much for this, really helped me out

[madfappin]

So anyway, I watched this video because I'm learning to play the song with my drum instructor. I mention to him that I found this drummer on Youtube who's Australian and is very technical and has an awesome form, the best I've seen since I met my drum teacher. Turns out that my drum teacher knows you :P

[wrightdrums]

@madfappin haha unreal man! get your teacher to drop us a line or hit me up on my facebook

[madfappin]

@wrightdrums It's Jeff Munster.. He was pretty spun out when I showed him hah!

[nxtkoston]

i don't think anyone noticed his bass falling over at 1:28 lololol

[fredwynyk]

7:50 - 7:53 --- is that really 'wright'? lol

[on3n1ght3r666]

dude i hate it that he's so good lol.

[Christiandonaghey]

Ace cover man 

[mevsolb]

[FakeMessiah94]

[wrightdrums]

@FakeMessiah94 the ones in this video are westone um2's

[FakeMessiah94]

@wrightdrums Cheers dude, been looking for some like those. Keep up the awesome vids too!

[CassFan5150]

Damn! Good job dude! Wish I had those Skills! Im subscribed! P.S. The one person that disliked this video needs some rope... To hang themselves with

[kevtamk]

excellent cover man, im just wondering which is the pattern for the crash cymbal part

[raufens]

Now, You have a new fan, you 're amazing. I want to learn this song to play with my friends!!! thanks for the lessons!!!

[euphital]

thanks for the great lesson

[icaro2m]

Great song and great cover. Very well explained too.

Thnks and keep going!!

[MrInjusticeforall]

Hey mate, great drumming really tight, really enjoy your covers and lessons. Any chance you could do a cover of Devildriver Dead to Rights I've been trying to nail it but it has a few sections I just can't work out, has some really interesting drumming in it.

[wrightdrumlessons]

@MrInjusticeforall will have to practice a little more double kick for that track :P

[sirile99]

Hey i love the bands you cover, and you make also a great work congratulations ! Do you plan to cover a Dillinger Escape Plan song ??

[PendingGeneration]

anyone else notice that the bass guitar moves at 1:27?

[B00ZEBAR0N]

F'n brilliant - One of the best on YouTube - Very fluid and technically spot on ... Wow...

[archonish]

youre quite awesome, man. i'd love to see your breakdown of their classic song "Everlong." especially the pre-chorus and chorus. oh, and to watch you cover it would be pretty epic.

[cdlund1987]

nice work troy, loving it, gonna have to start coming along and seeing some of your gigs etc :) - lundy

[wrightdrums]

@cdlund1987 haha awesome chris! cheers mate

[06livefast]

dave and taylor prolly get so baked and just jam all tour.

[wail18]

what size cowbell is that? Also do you know what size taylor uses? Great video by the way. The chorus section very helpful!

[jimmy272007]

Bloody brilliant mate !

[dego718]

140 bpm 145bmp

thanks for this video

[wrightdrums]

@dego718 138 mate

[TheNamewithnumbers]

You, sir, are amazing.

[rocknroll21]

You are the best drum teacher I've seen on YouTube.  Actual rhythm layouts of everything and attention to detail. You are THE MAN! That's why I subscribed :)

[ZanyTyler1]

1:26 guitar almost falls in the back

[0Lewis0]

It's criminal you're not more well known on Youtube.

[MineCraftFreaks98]

Alien????



[SarahTDrumGuru]

woww!! awesome

[TheTenementYard]

Bro thats awesome, you look like that dude roni from jersey shore got the guns even hehe. Cool drumming bro

[Camrocks1000]

thats awesome. i wish i was that good at drums right now. great song too.

[DRUMSMITH81]

Awsome mate, fantastic job and great lesson, 5*s. Did you score it yourself? There is a serious lack of proper drum scores on the market today :-( All bloody Tabs.

[wrightdrums]

@DRUMSMITH81 thanks mate. yeah i transcribed it myself in sibelius. it will be available soon for free from my website

[DRUMSMITH81]

@wrightdrums Excellent news, been looking at your site man. Awsome stuff, will be a regular visitor to that. I myself had a crack at Sibelius. Found it a little tricky to use. Any tips on how you learned it etc? Don't worry I don't expect a full blown tutorial lol, just a couple of tips on how ou tought yourself. Was it through just messing around with it etc?

[wrightdrums]

@DRUMSMITH81 I used to work with a cover band a few years ago (oz hornz) that was a reading gig. The guy who ran the band charted everything up in Sibelius so i was fortunate to get some tips from him. Search youtube for sibelius tutorials i found those helpful too. once you know how to write a basic few grooves you get the hang of it fairly quick.

[DRUMSMITH81]

@wrightdrums Thanks man I will have a look.  One last question, which Sibelius do you use? Is Sibelius 6?

[wrightdrums]

@DRUMSMITH81 yeah mate 6 :)

[DRUMSMITH81]

@wrightdrums Thanks dude :-)

[wrightdrums]

@DRUMSMITH81 btw tabs are for guitars and bass..... GUITARS AND BASS ONLY!!!!!!!!!! lol

[mickim1953]

loved the tune when it first came out,wondered how those solo fills worked,you are so easy to follow,believe it or not I don't read music,but I can really follow your notes,will continue to watch and take "lessons" thanks again.

[persekiana]

U R AWWWWWEEEESSSSSOOOOOOMMMMMEEEE­EEEEEEEEE.

[rbn2212]

Absolutely awesome!

I pretty much got the entire song down now, and it sounds pretty good. I just cannot get the 2 fills at 7.20 to sound right when I play. Especially the second is a killer.

Any help?? ;-)

[wrightdrums]

@rbn2212 hey mate yeah taylor played some great some fills in this song.. i would try the first fill with out the kick first? maybe play the crash part on the hats to get comfortable with it.. its all singles man. the second fill is pretty straight forward as long as you start on the right beat. hope that helps. cheers. troy

[cala1979]

awesome cover man

[TheMeTKaM]

This is SO AWESOME !!! Great vid ! I have watched it more than 15 times today ! :D Very helpful ! Maybe I will have a problem with those fills - can I ask you,where you get the tabs ? Please more of these vids ! Can you do Burning Bridges ?

[wrightdrums]

@TheMeTKaM i wrote the music out myself. it will be available from my website soon. burning bridges is a great song hey!

[cmclark99]

Let's see some Tool lessons/covers!

[Bambinimusic]

big win

[BennyVengeance888]

Yes! Now i can learn this song properly, well in terms of the solo bit! :D Thank you! And what size is your ozone?

[wrightdrums]

@BennyVengeance888 great man! The ozone is an 18"

[TheGreyMan93]

That final chorus pattern with the bell is also how I learnt to play the ride pattern in YYZ by Rush. Just sayin'.

[tigrisnakkana]

Is your metronome like, an apple application?

[wrightdrums]

@tigrisnakkana yeah mate called tempo

[tisBenG]

your kit is sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet

[underscoreisnotvalid]

[DIKZAKK111]

[wrightdrums]

@DIKZAKK111 it was all Hawkins mate! :)

[Nicoolaas84]

[dakoide]

You play Meshuggah medleys and now Foo Fighters? you are the most amazing human being.

[JeanDenisCote]

This video is AWESOME. Your playing is fluid, precise, technically flawless, etc. I love your vids man.

[xero1xr]

i know you get requests all the time but you should do Coheed And Cambria - Guns Of Summer. that would be awesome

[wrightdrums]

@xero1xr man i just listened to that album again. Chris Pennie is unreal hey!

[xero1xr]

@wrightdrums hey thanks for replying and yes he is a beast. i hope you give it a shot man becasue i loved this and your meshuggah stuff

[YoYoHall]

The bass falling over a1:30 scared me a bit

[wrightdrums]

@YoYoHall haha yeah i knew i shouldn't have taken it from its stand!

[YoYoHall]

@wrightdrums It happens to me all the time, I'm be going away and I'll see my guitar start following and I'll almost freaking dive to catch it so it doesn't hit the ground
