He Reigns - Lakewood 'Drum Cover'

This is a drum cover of the song "He Reigns" from the Lakewood album, "Hope For Today." It's not a perfect drum cover, but I did have fun playing it. I also changed a few drum parts towards the end, just to mix things up.

@fantomnote that was brilliant man! I can tell that was your gift from God ; the way you put passion into your drumming is really good ; Tip : I wanna know how you do a double bass pedal sound with a single bass pedal because its quite fast! hope to see you do more videos ;)

[fantomnote]

@LilRudiie6839 - thanks man. Um.. about the double bass sound with a single pedal, I'm not able to do that yet but there's a video on youtube that shows you just that. Just type in, "Mike Johnston, double bass with one foot" Cheers! : )

how about in mixing?

[fantomnote]

@markdaveybabao - actually we didn't really do anything special about the sound mixing. In these videos, we used 4 regular SHURE (vocal) mic's and a "not so expensive" sound mixer. We just tweaked the sound mixer 'til we achieved a good sound. It's more like a trial and error thing. I guess the real credit goes to the sound of the kit itself. It's a maple kit, so it sounds good even without a state-of-the-art recording equipment.

nice drum tune bro..give me some tips on how you tune the kit..tnx..God bless!

@markdaveybabao - thanks. I don't think there's an exact rule in tuning drums. You just have to learn the basics and experiment from there. It really depends on how you want your drums to sound and it also depends on the kind of music you play. Personally, I like my toms to sound fuller / rounder, so I tune the batter heads and the bottom heads at pretty much the same tension and I don't use tapes, foams and other muffling devices on my toms and snare. But I do use pillows on my bass drum.
