Iron Maiden The Trooper Drum Cover

I never had long hair, tattoos or considered myself a head banger but I have always loved Iron Maiden and Metal music in general. (Can you tell I hate stereotypes?)

This song is one of my favorites by Iron Maiden and I wanted to do it justice. I listened to the song a bunch of times and charted out Nicko's fills because there are so many. I included this chart at the end of the video.

I had no way of knowing when the song would start, I just started the song on my MP3 player and guessed when to hit the snare drum with the opening flam. I had to do this a few times before I got it right. This is take #4.

I think I did a decent job, but you guys tell me. I really like hearing what you think.

By the way, I know the ride cymbal is loud. I am having problems with my compression unit so I turned up the volume on the mic and now it's too loud. Sorry about that!

Thanks for watching!

@padistedor Dont worry, he just speak shit, he said that "{you play very nasty" but is not true, you play very well. I told him to upload a video playing better to see how he play. He dont know what is music, take care and keep playing. (y)

@padistedor

hahaha he said that foul play

[officialfury]

Nice work dude, could do with setting some levels as the ride is killer loud but on the whole a pretty good cover! Keep the good work up!

[GPazosL]

@padistedor He said something like "You play disgustingly, dude". Altho that can have two senses when using that specific word ("askeroso"), so i can't tell you for sure if its a compliment or not.

His ride doesn't sound weird -_- he's just hitting the bell of the ride that's all
