Riki[Rockstar] - "The Way We Talk" The Maine Drum Cover

An awesome song and not too bad to play
i nailed it ever better in one of the recordings and the dumb Mac decided not to record audio :P
Borrowed my brothers iPod and put some songs on it.
Just had to upload something and this is a great song!

NOTE: this is NOT a left handed drumset and I am not left handed :P The camera and everything was done on a Mac laptop, which for some reason turned everything around.

Add and subscribe! Thanks :) Check out my other videos and covers!

lefty, eh?

[rikirockstar]

read description please! sorry, im not lefty, the camera inverted everything, dunno why

[jwb4741]

this was fucking awful....it didnt sound like the song at all...and to even think that when you covered this song that it sounded like the real thing is a crime to drummers everywhere....improve your skills and try again you wanna be

[rikirockstar]

@jwb4741 My bad, I didn't realize covers were supposed to be played identically and mechanically. I'll be sure to tell the 15 year old version of myself never to cover anything ever again! Thanks for the advice. I'll also go back in time and tell myself never to listen to bands as hardcore as The Maine so I won't appear such a "wanna be"

hey could you send me the tabs for this if you have them?

and any other songs by the maine would be pretty rad too :)

but only if you feel like it haha

[rikirockstar]

Tabs? Ive only once tried to learn something from drum tabs.

Sorry, but i learn everything by ear!

If you'd like, i can probably write it out for you? The basic beat and fills, anyway.

for example, the intro is:

Bass Flam Flam, Flam, Flam Flam, Flam, Bass Flam Flam, Flam, Flam Flam, Flam, Bass Flam Flam, Flam, Flam Flam, Flam, Bass Flam Flam, Flam, SHH Bass SHH Bass SHH Bass 1-e-&-a (on the snare)

The commas represent slight rests, im not sure how long they are, but yeah i learn by ear. Sry!

[giantstrawberries]

awesome! you did a great job :)

[jameswolff1]

p.s., if you did this in photobooth on the mac, just go up to edit after the video/picture is done and click flip.

[jordanx224]

dude. nice work.

so what if its a little off.

you nailed it man.

i wish i could find a drummer like you.

[xXxXxXxBKxXxXxXx]

haha i was just wondering..sorry i didnt see that part of the description lol

[readysetpineapple]

Bro no offense but a lot of this is off. like the beginning is played on the crash. not the hi-hat with 16th notes. and the bass drumming in the verse is off. and a few other things. just saying.

[ReyaX1X7]

:O! I love your hair!

Oh, and nice drum playing too.
