Drumming to Queeens of the Stone Age, "No One Knows", from their 2002 album Songs for the Deaf. I remember passing up a QOTSA show in Boston on one of their first shows from this album, going to a local band instead. The next day I found out that Dave Grohl was drumming for them and I kicked myself. Ever since I've loved their music.
I took the liberty of adding a few things here and there, in lieu of this being a drum cover. It's a powerful song and a lot of fun to play. There is a ton of potential for developing drum fills, and I had to force myself not to overplay it. I had three cameras rolling, but two were low quality. So I'm using three different takes with the good camera. The audio is a single recording, which matches the overhead camera.
Really had a lot of fun with this one, and I hope your enjoy. Thanks for watching!

How did you cut out the crack on the china boy on your left??? Looks "neat and Clean" and seems to not affect the sound. Also, great freakin snare drum. Only the nicest and warmest warm can produce that sweet sound. nice job on all your stuff dude.

@CRGentile My dad has a music shop and he cut out that crack - not sure how he did it. It took out some of the overall volume of the cymbal, but it was definitely still good for an accent. And I love the snare too - a Pearl free floating maple. Thanks!
