Veil of Maya - "Martyrs" - Drum Cover

*This one goes out to MrLordofrock. Thanks for the suggestion!*
Once again, I am astounded by some of the songs I am managing to cover. I wrote this all out last night and once again (like Contact) some how managed to film it quite quickly with barely any bumps in the road. Also, today I'm going to the store to pick up a MIDI interface so I will be able to separately mix each trigger on the e-kit! That means easier to hear bass drum ;)

Other than that, please enjoy this one and let me know what you think! More Veil of Maya is definitely possible! Think of this one as just scratching the surface.

Thanks.

I like you're playing, but you're doing covers in a way that makes them pointless. Doing a cover is meant to show your take on a song. Not emulating it. Is learning how to play it exact a good skill? Yes. But true skill comes with giving songs your own flavor.

@jjjmanyo There will be that in more covers. This song didn't call for anything else.

@jjjmanyo i think it depends on what style the music is. i agree that covers are meant to be unique to each person, as you said. however, some genres of music like this are too technical for improv

[AcidRaiNz0Rz]

@dkay182 I don't think that it's too technical to improv over, it's just that the emphasis in this style of music is the rhythm and syncopation. The drummers in this style usually have the perfect drumming already done on the recording and any more notes would just be overkill.

hi dude! if you accept sugestions, could you cover Volumes - Serenity? Thanks!

[AcidRaiNz0Rz]

@KlayMoReH Love Volumes and that song! Probably will be the next cover once I get all the rhythms figured out.

OOOOOH MY GAAAAWD. Yes! Thank you so much for doing this man, I am totally sharing this on Facebook. This is awesome, thanks again!

Lmao at your facial expressions. :)

@dkay182 Too technical for improv? Jazz music is probably some of the most technically challenging music out there for drummers, and guess what? It's 99% improv. Improv doesn't mean doing your own thing over a recording, it means taking what is already there and giving your own taste on it. Even if that taste just means reorchestrating a few notes here and there.
