This is my death metal cover of John Cage's 4'33. In glorious HD!

This took a few tries, especially because of the fast double bass part in the middle (relatively speaking, it's not a Nile song). And, like I said in the video, I filmed my feet as well to prove I'm going at that speed. Also, before the comments start getting annoying, I know I'm not the greatest drummer in the world, I'm just putting this video out there because I enjoy death metal and like to interpret songs in the style for fun.

The song at the beginning is Rule of Thirds by Edor Animi, though good luck finding them online anywhere.

I also reserve the right to disable comments if this turns into a stupid internet flame war between Philip Glass and John Cage fans (you know who you are). I'm personally more of a Philip Glass guy myself, at least his earlier stuff before Koyaanisqatsi when he sold out and got all commercial.

  • This is absolutely the worst performance of 4'33" I've ever seen. You left out the whole last minute, which is the best part.

  • If SOPA were passed would you still be able to perform this?

     Naah, it was there. He did it quicker.

  • that was preety quick

  • A little too slow for my liking, but not bad. This has potential.

  • there is a lot missing.

  • wow. thank fucking god its in HD.

  • I was a little too fast for my liking. The speed caused the middle section to not be performed as cleanly as it could be. Maybe if you would wear shoes the weight of the shoes would slow you down just a little so as to clean up that section.

  • It's not even 4'33"...

  • DREAM THEATER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Your penchant for (funny!) sarcasm and (deserved!) ridicule is awesome! Love your style. Absolutely fuckin' A brilliant!!!

  • Tabs please
