"My Wave" cover

Launching my new covers channel with this song from Soundgarden's 1994 album "Superunknown." I was in a little over my head -- no one compares to the great Chris Cornell -- but I enjoyed the challenge. Each part is a single live take, although there are a few minor fixes due to the high degree of difficulty.

Gear info:
Atlansia Stealth bass, direct + w/Source Audio Soundblox envelope filter

this is a great band, but the drummer looks stressed

[Octoschizare]

Cool video and talent... but wow, you are the stiffest drummer I've ever seen. I'm a drummer myself and I think you might feel better and also look more natural if you use your whole arm. It looks like your triceps are glued to your sides, and your wrists are in a cast and locked in place. Try using all 3 of your joints (shoulder, elbow, wrist) instead of just one (elbow) and you'll probably notice an improvement in your ability, reach, and definitely stamina as well as looking much less stiff.

Reverse water dump was a nice touch!

[MaherLeary]

@Octoschizare are you joking? you are supposed to play from your fingers and a small amount from your wrist. Yeah your arms should be loose, to help reach, but drumming with your whole arm is just impractical.

this is just one fucking dude..

[StevenTalks1]

FAKE

[TheDreadedlife]

O_O disturbingly great cover, wow and the drummer is adorable.

[Alisterbloodcrave]

This is the best cover of this song I have ever heard.

@161194 Good job for a band that consists of two pairs of identical twins, wouldn't you agree?

[luizfmaf]

i dont think he sounds like chris cornell. It's closer to Lenny Kravits or something like that. Good job though...

[TheAutisticGuitarist]

do some smashing pumpkins. you already look like billy corgan and they're right up your ally in terms of genre.
