Good night world!
Yesterday I tried to cover the song "Get Up" by JL&The Licks, but after two hours of listening, studying and trying it, I wasn't able to fulfill a good cover of the song.
"Get Up" is not a super complex song, but the huge amount of different fills makes the whole drum line hard to remember and play it perfectly.
I'll continue studying the song and try to do a good cover of it next weekend.
I had to go early but I didn't want to leave the drum kit without any video, after so many weeks without uploading anything, so I picked up an easy song.
I also seek to achieve a couple of things: I always wanted to pay homage to Sigur Ros; one of the greatest bands I ever heard and introduce the band to the people who maybe don't know about them yet.

Also I want to thank my friend "Spider-Pep" for telling me some years ago: "Hey, stay quiet and listen to this..." . Thanks bud. :)

All right, don't expect big drum beats and crazy fills here, this is a perfect example of "sometimes less is better".
I'm still amazed of the power, beauty and immense energy this simple drum line has.
(To my shame I miss the tempo a few times...LOL! :D)
I really hope you like the song!
I know this video shows only a guy hitting repetitively a drum kit , but after thinking about it... damn...at the doors of heaven while you wait to get in... some angels will play Sigur Ros for you!

Good night, sleep tight, is cold out there.
Big hug,
Xevi
