Genesis - Cinema Show (Drums cover)

Genesis - "Cinema Show"
Drums cover by Fairlight60

My first Genesis cover.

I'm pretty sure I play the main drum pattern incorrectly but it's damn hard to hear what Phil plays exactly and I didn't bother looking for tabs... It seems to fit played like this, anyway.

I boosted the volume on this one, something my other videos badly lacked! I'm always having a hard time equalizing and compressing the sound so that it doesn't saturate and, for once, I just figured : "what the heck, let's fully crank it up". Miraculously, it seems some compressor somewhere along the line made his job, the sound doesn't pop!

As always, comments and requests welcome!

What is your drums ?

[Fairlight60]

@ginises83 It's a Yamaha DTXtreme IIs.

I'm not sure if it's the way you have the drums miced, but it sounds incredibly nice, especially the hi-hat, which is crystal clear. The bass drum sounds slightly weak. But it's an amazing rendition of this song. You seem to have all the ghost notes down pat.

Great job!

[Fairlight60]

@nurktwin1960 Thank you very much! Technically the drum is not miced; its audio output is connected to a mixer, that is in turn connected to the computer.

Nice! So nice... The dynamics of your playing.. It's just perfect. That's something I must master myself. Just see my few videos, and You'll know what I mean. =)

[Fairlight60]

Thanks a lot for your comment!!

I just watched all of your videos; excellent playing, very straight (much more than myself) and relaxed! I cannot really judge about your full dynamics range since the songs you uploaded rock pretty hard, but it seemed all good to me : nice punches and inflexions when they are needed. Keep up the good work!!

Damn! You make it look so easy :-(

Dude, I never liked electric drum kits before ...but you totally master them.  I'll have to re-think them. Thanks for the excellent vid.

One of the best drum covers I've heard in a while. Fantastic stuff.

Nice snare work. I've been thinking about buying an DTXtreme but wondered about the sensitivity and how they sound. You should be getting paid buy Yamaha, for promoting what they can do. This song is especially technical, well done.
