Although this 'looks' pretty tight to the original drum score,... it sounds to me like it actually is the original drum score.

If you watch and listen close enough you can hear some flams from not being spot on. I never intended for this to be spot on anyway. Listen to the fill right before the 2nd chorus - not on the record. It's also the same snare that Vinnie used to record this album. This was the first video I recorded and could have turned up my drum track a bit. It was the first take and I just posted what I had to hear the levels.

Excellent work brother keep it up!! Clean execution and technique too love it!!! Check my page out if you get a chance .Also don't dignify noobs like that guy who commented like that or the other nimrod .....they r not on ur level ,not even close .....Drum on buddy.

@speedyfeet814 Thanks for your support. I don't pay much mind to negative comments. There are tons of videos that I don't like on YouTube; the difference is that I never comment on them, simply out of respect. I'll check out your stuff and let know know what I think.

This is one hell of a song and you play it very well, but (and I mean no offense), it isn't really a showcase for a drummer, is it?

I mean, it's perhaps a deceptively simple drum track, but isn't the point in uploading clips like this to show off a little bit?

I have a feeling you could really "groove" if you wanted to, and it would be nice to see you let your hair down, for lack of a better phrase.

Good job, though!

[rsm76]

Check out some of my "fusion" videos if you're looking for more groove. Vinnie does groove pretty hard on this track though.

[NouveauNick]

You know how I know this is truly a great cover?

I was in another tab and totally forgot I was watching a drum cover, just kicked back and enjoyed your playing.

...THAT is the point my friend.

Great work!

[irateradio]

please tell me your joking!!

[Lighthead440]

very enjoyable,

[Craig7280]

Great job - very slick!

[Mrdionoz]

I had to play this song as part of my Drum-tech course, It's quite straight forward but there is something about it that makes it feel great to play! Lovely job there too my friend.

[DrumHub]

Hey there - great rendition of this. You have great feel and talent. If you get a chance, would love your thoughts on some of my stuff over at DrumHub. Cheers and great job again. Rob.

[IllGib]

Nice work man. Just a little note, could you lower a little the song in background so your drum will came out a little more. For all the rest there's some "taste" in the execution! Keep rockin'!

[loslobos9461]

Very nice. Can you shed any advice on what it would cost to buy a budget minded mic system/mixer etc to listen to myself practice on my 5 piece kit? Don't need anything extravagant. Only practice at home and never travel. I am sure that your system is top of the line. I would like to hear myself practice via a mic system. Thanks for the great video.

[SuperStickcontrol]

Very nice indeed! A definite to my favourites. Thanks :-)

[kdogg255]

[chicle31]

[MetalTampon]
