Such hostility on this guy! Great cover, I don't understand the criticisms. I'm curious, is that a muffler on your snare, or a fancy head? It has an interesting sound.

[chrisewan57]

@michaelspadaro6 Hey man, nah its just the head - evans onyx

[DoomedMediators]

you should watch your tempo and be careful to to the proper thing on the hit hat during the verses. otherwise its quite good.

[chrisewan57]

@DoomedMediators Proper thing....? Cos you know exactly what im playing??? its my cover...

[chrisewan57]

Mate, I dont give a shit about your 10 year old bum buddy.

I'm not on here to try to compete with others drummers, I'm just uploading my stuff for fun. So stop getting your kicks from saying crap to people over the internet and if you dont like it dont watch it.

[chrisewan57]

HAHAHA!!! Are you being serious?! Haha, that made my day mate.. "if you see me in person....."

Dont worry, I'll "watch myself", I wouldn't wanna get on the wrong side of one of your youtube comments, god knows what could happen to me

hahaaa

I like the sound of your drums. The kick pattern is off, and the hihats are different in the verses. But you play very nicely. Good job.

[olsportsfreak9]

the snare is kinda weak

[Rushfan551]

lol. For a second I thought you were playing a drum throne with the sound of a snare.

Well done.

[robbietj1964]
