This is a drum cover (from the Dual-Cam Series) of Taking Back Sunday's damn cool song, Liar (It Takes One to Know One). I have to emphasize, I know calling this a "cover" is wrong, seeing as I only PARTLY stayed true to the song's drums, through the WHOLE song i play some variations of the beats, phrasing and fills, I'm NOT aiming to be accurate to the original drums, I'm just aiming to enjoy myself.. :) And I thouroughly succeeded in doing that, I might add ;)

*RECORDING*

[Two Panasonic NVGS250 3CCD Cameras]

I miced each individual drum, plus two overheads, ran this through a mixer, got a decent mix and recorded with ONLY *ONE* stereo channel.. no multitrack recorder(s) :) I compressed the final mix to HELL.. to get a more aggressive sound, to make it sit better in with the original song (and hopefully overpower the original drums), detailed compression settings: 20:1 with a threshold of -20db and a compensation gain of 15db, with both seperate channels (LEFT and RIGHT, from the mixer) sent to a stereo sub-group, and the compression settings applied to THIS group, it gave a nice compact and aggressive result.. further mastering was needed to equalize the final mix and control peak levels and such.

Is that Adam Lazarra playing the drums??? lol

[ChopSuey1503]

at 0:40 he accidently hits the cymbal. but there is no sound.

[sixstringalchemist]

He must love this song. :51- :56 he's swaying

[poplord234]

@ChopSuey1503 it wasnt hit with enough force to make noise thats why it didnt make a sound it just kinda got stuck under it

[ChopSuey1503]

@goldielockstherobot yeah i know. just something I noticed..

[goldielockstherobot]

@ChopSuey1503 he could have easily edited that out...

[RandomAsian46]

He might have fixed this since this was recorded, but he occasionally has his thumb on top when he's playing hi-hats. I saw it multiple times so maybe within the video he's noticed and is attempting to fix it? Anyway, his rolls around the set are freakin' awesome!

[MrBartoszka]

what's the crash cymbal on the right? what series is that 'cus I only can see it's a paiste

[NatesmithLovesDonutz]

To me, this guy is one of the best that ever came to youtube, if not the best. Only reason I started drumming was cuz of this dude. :]

[gusmorv]

very bad definition but is you cobus so is a dumb up :D

[iamacharliest]

@ChopSuey1503 If you watch it it looks like he just gets it stuck then pulls it out rather than an actual hit. Even if it did make sound he could have edited that out?
