Alice in Chains - Man in the Box Drum Cover (Rock Band 2 Expert Drum Chart) on real drums

Man in the Box by Alice in Chains.

First: No comments about my big bald head! I'm already well aware of it :-P

So I decided to try something a bit new and recorded Man in the Box on my acoustic kit. I recorded the Expert note chart from Rock Band 2 while in Practice mode, and extracted the audio. Then I mixed the audio from my drumming vid with the Practice Mode vid and overlayed the note chart.

You'll probably notice that I don't stick exactly to the chart...I took a few liberties at some points, mostly because I've been playing this song in cover bands for years and I'm used to playing it a certain way.

I tried to mostly play along with the chart, but was also using really crappy headphones so it was hard to hear the music (hence why I might have gotten off-time slightly a few times). Next time I'll use better headphones! :)

This video is the first of many I'll be recording like this!

I'm playing these on my Pearl Session Studio SBX drum set with all Sabian cymbals (except that little Zilbel that I didn't hit in this vid).

I've been playing for around 20 years.

@blackvein511 Seriously? You couldn't read the big fat letters at the top of the screen during the first 15 seconds? :-P

im sorry but i dislike double bass drum kits...im a big hi hat user, and to have my hats 2 feet away from ym snare an't gonna cut it...unless the kit had an adapter so i can put the hat pedal closest to me instead of the second pedal...i don't like it

[davidshek]

@Jabarichonicles You can't really see it in the overhead shots in this video, but I use a Pearl HA-100 clamp to attach my hi-hat stand to my left kick drum. It's nowhere near 2 feet away from my snare.

That's a nice kit, it's a shame that you have to look at a screen to know what you're playing though.

[davidshek]

@r4pt0rP5K It's a shame you don't know how to read the video description, where I wrote that I've been playing this song in a cover band for years, long before Rock Band ever came out.

Great job! You wear a zildjian tshirt and yet play pretty much only sabians, LOL!

[Godfree69]
