Grenade by Bruno Mars Drum Cover by M. Carlos.
Played on the center, "Metal/Tama" kit the "Hawaiian Frankenstein".
This is NOT a note-for-note cover. Never really listened to Bruno Mars until recently. Just missed his concert in Hawaii too. Actually just started listening to the song a few days ago. It's been a while since I played so I'm trying to get my chops back. Only been playing with new sticks too for about 30 minutes. Also, no mics this time but played a lot with the post production editing. Fun song!

right now,the band at my school and i is doing this song around the spring concert.i'm dead serious.i'm taking the drum set,pretty much got the basic feel but everyone else in the band is having a hard time, and the music sheet for this is pretty short,1 and a half pages long.

@TheZappermaster - That's pretty cool that you guys are doing this for Spring Concert. Someone has to get a vid of it and post it!

@xymbalreborn well,the biggest chances i have for this is to have my mom to record with her camera or i have to find a camera around my house somewhere. ps the song is not going to have a snare part like how you did it but there are a few rim knock parts to it around the beginning.

@TheZappermaster - Nonetheless, see if you can get a vid. No snare? I gotta hear it.
