Anup Sastry - Vildhjarta - Dagger Drum Cover

Watch in HD!!!!! This is a cover of a Vildhjarta tune called "Dagger". I have been a huge fan of this band for a while now, and I have wanted to do a drum cover of one of their tunes. But I just wanted to wait for their album to release before I covered a song! I remember them uploading an update video when they signed to Century Media, and one of the opening tracks was the middle section in Dagger... I was absolutely blown away from how heavy that part was. So I kind of told my self that if that specific part was in a song on the album, then that would be the song I covered! hahaha! I didn't play the song completely hit for hit either. All of the drums are natural, I just tried to make a decent mix for the tube! Enjoy!

And I apologize in advance for not including a foot cam on this video. I have run into some camera issues recently, so I don't actually have another camera I can use for a foot view! I still need to buy a second camera!

Also, I am using an Evans Hybrid snare head in this video. I am using it because I didn't have an extra Black X at the time, and I didn't want to wait either to track the video!!!

[punishyourfurniture]

two questions: 1. how do you learn to cover? I use only the studio recordings and play and play,...

2. Would you cover other songs of vildhjarta? maybe "all these feelings"?

Your cover is amazing!!! You are a Djentleman! ;)

PS: sorry for my english is not the best

[asdrummer2008]

@punishyourfurniture Hey man!!! Thanks a lot for the kind words!!! I usually learn songs part by part. I will just loop each part one by one, until I have learned it. And I am actually uploading a cover of "Shadow" today (coincidence much?)... haha!

[Osskarii]

Are those MS4 sticks more durable than most sticks? I've been thinking about getting a pair of them :)

[asdrummer2008]

@Osskarii Hey man! I do think they last a bit longer than sticks I have previously used. But I do still go through them frequently... (unfortunately!!!)

[toxendon]

[frederikamris]

When i saw this video of thought "just another jackass uploading shitty covers of songs they cannot play", but fuck man i've never been that wrong in my entire life. Your playstyle is so beautiful. So powerful and precise. Very impressive and entertaining ! Hope i'll see you on the road with skyharbor someday (or vildhjarta in case their drummer watches this videos and depart for the foreign legion hehe)
