The Day I Played Drums With Coldplay - The Scientist

(Video 2 of 4) Note: Drums do not start until the second verse (2:02). This was made possible through the generosity of Make-A-Wish Foundation and Coldplay... my wish being to play drums with Coldplay. Thank you for everything you did Chris, Will, Jonny and Guy.

peace.

Can i ask you some questions?

What drum heads did Will use?

his cymbals are K custom dark hi hats,18 inch A crash, 19 inch K dark thin crash, and a K heavy ride. Right?

@Squidmaster7 you know, i don't really remember perfectly clearly. i am pretty sure his snare and tom batter heads were Remo and his kick drum batter head was Aquarian. The cymbals you listed seem about right, except for the ride cymbal. I don't remember what it was, but the cymbals were a mix of K, K Custom and Avedis line of Zildjian cymbals. hope this helps any.

great job man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! with your drum version "the scientist" seems like a rap song and i like it, i really enjoyed your version

[tatoleon]

@P3DEVIL haha thanks. i guess the fact that we played it faster than normal gives it a more hip-hop feel.

[mikydelongehero]

was a contest=?= how do you do it

[tatoleon]

"life-threatening medical condition" is a better way to put it and more broad... which is the case for me... not just cancer or a terminal illness.

[bohemiandaisy9]

I am so, so, so happy for you! I hope all your other wishes come true, too. This is a moment of a lifetime!

I hope you have a healthy, happy life filled with joy and you overcome your "life threatening medical condition"

Lots of love,

Sarah
