This song is a MONSTER. As soon as I heard it I knew I wanted to do a cover of it. I tried to follow the rhythm of the song when I was working out the drum parts. It starts very quite and then gradually comes to this massive finale. As always I put my heart into playing and had great fun doing so.

There was no click track or drums on this song, so I was just playing along to an orchestra. At some points I go slightly out of time, but I was more bothered about putting the energy into the performance, rather than been anal with timing.

Hope You Enjoy!

@Gbmackers93 If you were at all a drummer, or had any enjoyment toward drumming, you'd know we don't say shit like that. Drummers don't call each other out, just merely look up to one another and say they are good or ask for hints/advice. There is no "best" and certainly no fucking of him or her..

OMFG!!! what are the drumheads on your snare??? thats the sound i've been looking for for mine!!

btw great cover...as always ;D

[IkigaiKun]

I think that you loved playing this music

[killjoyshidae1208]

@OriMedian no, it's just an idea. i'm a freaking drum-wannabe, so i come up with some ideas

[OriMedian]

@killjoyshidae1208 Nice set-up, do you own it yourself?

[RyanByrne3233]

Press 7 for fax machine noise

[joaoa13portugal]

@ryanlikeshockey yeah, i know that, the equalization, for example, has a huge influence on it's sound

I just wanted to know the drumheads he used because that way it'd be easier to get sound im looking for, i don't want the exact same one, i just liked it because you can acutally feel his snare, some drummers just tune their snares so weak, you can hardly hear it, but this snare has power

hope you understand what i mean

thanks =D
