Everlong - Foo Fighters ft. ZMatrix (Drum Cover)

Like? Comment? Subscribe? ... Anything?!?!

Four days before this was, I went to what was quite possibly the best concert of my entire life. Foo Fighters. Lollapalooza 2011. My favorite band. Two of my favorite drummers. Jamming to My Hero in the middle of downpour with 100,000+ other fans. Dave coming over by me in the audience during the guitar battle in Stacked Actors. It was perfect. I hope these dudes never stop making music. Over years later, this song is still the definition of perfection. Rock on Foo Fighters!

Shoutouts to Justin for the condensor mic!

Front facing camera is an iPhone 4. Overhead camera is a small Sony Cybershot circa 2008. Audio track was recorded with a single AKG Perception 120 Condensor Mic. Ran it through Garageband over the main track and edited them together in Audacity. Video edited with Adobe Premier 4 (shoutouts to Nick Danty) It all came together quite nicely and I'm VERY pleased with the finish product. Hope you all enjoy!

great job. Where did you place the AKG 120?....and where were the 2 mic settings? I'm trying to get a semi-decent recording using a couple of 120's.

[ZMatrix]

@soupshacky I had the AKG 120 above and a little bit behind me. I got the best results on my Lady Gaga covers where I had it placed directly above the center of the kit with a mic stand.

Really well played mate :)

[ZMatrix]

@Guitarman0 thanks for watching! 

[BRiANNAx87]

did you see them at lolla?

[ZMatrix]

@BRiANNAx87 damn right I did! I actually got to touch Dave (as creepy as that sounds) during the guitar battle in Stacked Actors. He came right to our section of the crowd less than a foot infront of me. Insaneeeeeeeeeeeee!

[londunhill]

Amazing drummer! Sounds exactly like the original!

[djmichaelm]

Impressive Drum playing. Cool man.

[BRiANNAx87]

@ZMatrix wooo, I saw them there too in the muck and mud. gross. but I wasn't quite so fortunate to be as close.
