Katatonia - Forsaker (Played by Chris Anderson)

This is the first track from Katatonia's newest album "Night is the New Day", which was just recently released. It's an amazing album with lots of great ideas (both in terms of songwriting, and drumming!).

I should have some more videos up soon! It's cold and snowy outside now, and I'm excited about working on them. Also, i'm contemplating producing a few videos where I detail my approach to recording the drums (mic technique, tuning, head choice, mixing, etc). Let me know if you'd dig those, and i'll work on them next :)

Love the cover and the band. on a different note your kit looks like a gavin harrison replica. This is no bad thing but must have cost a fortune.

@intherapy1 One would think so :) but that's not the case, I was able to get a great deal on the kit and bought all the cymbals and stands gradually over the course of maybe 2 years. Thanks for checking it out!

the best katatonia cover well done man perfect

[belvederepunk]

i think i like your version better than the original

[ssmith87]

Fantastic dude! love katatonia..awesome setup too and i sense you're a gavin harrison fan? He's one of my favorites

[BloodyVlaja]

awesome.totally stunning....

[RegnumMortis]

@drummer4life15 by the setup on video description, it should be the 16" Zildjian K-Custom fast crash

It seems to me that he forgot to add one China in the description. There are 3 on his drum set, but only 2 on the description (although the Chinas leftmost and rightmost of the set sounds very similar).

[Arcturus24]

seems someone likes Gavin Harrison :)

[drummer4life15]

what is the crash to left of the ride?

[diewut247]

\m/

[lelobm]

the bass pedals on chorus is fucked up i guess:-/

[rockin982]

LOVE LOVE LOVE your recorded drum sound man, those drums are singing!

[guitar7901]

Best cover ever, especially with all that fucked up timing in this song
