@stefrotiedits I usually play more rock/metal style playing, this was really the first and only go at dnb playing. For this song I slowed it down about 20 bpm in pro tools and listened to it for about 4 days till I memorized it then just sat down with a camera and went for it. So for any cover you might wanna do of dnb I'd recommend that. I'd just practice some hand/foot speed exercises at a lower volume so you practice your control more. makes it easier to play stuff like this for longer
Aww. It's been over three years, and you still haven't broke the 100k viewer milestone. You just DESERVE more views, there simply ain't no other drummer better than you!
@Droplifter this was my first time trying to do a style like this, took about 6 hours of playing it on repeat till I could memorize it all the way through. It was a fun challenge though! I'll probably do another noisia tune in the next month or so once I settle on a song
I was literally thinking just now that it would be awesome to hear a cover of Shellshock. looked it up on youtube, and sure enough someone did make one! :D Amazing work!
@Kanga272 it was my buddy who showed me the song, said it had some crazy beats in it so I heard it..thought it could be cool on a drumset and 5 days (and an unhealthy amount of listening) later this video was made.
damn... I remember when this song came out and I heard it for the first time... I still have goosebumbs on the rhythmical arrangement of it... damn impressive.. and you kick-ass those drums man! awesome vid
@jarogunit there is a good amount of short double bass rolls during the "drop" sections. I tried my best to match what I felt the bass drum sound would be. unfortunately I didn't have the mic setup I have now to properly display it...I do for my other noisia cover though. my kick drum is definitely in the mix of this though, I just also wanted people to be able to tell what the part of the song is so they could see how my drum part correlates with it.
If you'd like to do some Noisia songs again, I would love to take a shot at mixing your drums and replacing the originals with them. So that you're not playing together with the original drums but you're playing instead of the original drums. And of course I'd try to make your drums sound as big as possible to match the sound. I think it would be an interesting experiment. I love your playing. I'd love you to do more of this kind of music.
I was wandering if ... Could you make a new video of this one but this time with you pedal video camera filming it??? dude your like a clock man , i have been watching your videos and jojo mayer's videos too... you guys rule . keep up the awsome work ben!!
@TimMc333 in this vid...drums: pearl reference 22x20 kick, 8x7 rack, 10x9 rack, 14x14 floor, 16x16 floor, steve ferrone sig series snare, pearl 13x3 brass piccolo side snare. pearl 2000 series hardware, dw 9000 double pedal, pearl roadster throne. cymbals left to right: 14" a custom mastersound hit hats, 19" z3 rock crash, 8" a custom splash, 22" a custom ping ride, 18" z3 crash, 9 1/2" zil-bel, 18" a custom china, 10" guitar center bin china...? evans, remo and aquarian heads used...
@tubbylardman if I had it. this video was shot before I was able to multi-track my kit so the kit audio is basically a lot of cymbals and some snare with a little kick mixed in. I have the track there so you can hear I'm playing along with what you hear on the track. If this was just a drum mix you wouldn't know if I was playing what's on the song or not unless you memorized the song in detail, and it the quality would still suck. this was the best I could make at the time.
@esacbw this is the only video I put a click track with the track as well. not cause of the spaces but when it drops into those faster parts it helps to stay dead on with every hit, and for a song like this where there is so much goin on anything shy of that would've sounded like crap. In every other video I play along to the track only, and I make it loud enough in my ears that I'm basically air drumming to the track... so if my hands and ears don't match up I know I'm playing it wrong.
I don't have the original audio or video files or I would! I did another noisia video where my drums were all mic'd rather than this (just kick and room mics) so it's more clear.
@SHAFTMASTATWEAK no, unfortunately cause my mic setup I can only go so loud before the cymbals just dominate the mix so I try to keep it about 60/40 drums:track. On the next noisia video i'll probably use a smaller kit so I can mic it better and do like a 75/25 mix
In my opinion THAT is what makes a good drummer. Some awesome dnb tune played on his drums. a Song i would love to hear would be Netsky's No Beginning. i really would love that.
Dude you’re literally splitting atoms with your drumming

Would you try Noisia:Stigma as well?
Atomic clocks ain't got nothing on this guy's timing
Godlike!
As precise as Japan's rail timetable.
you actually got it note for note. very impressive
+Jackson Kiernan yeah that's what impressed me the most, how he perfected this.
Pure awesomness!!
So AWESOME ! respect !
WOOOW AMAZING!
They said it - Mind. Blown.
Incredible!! Flawless.
Aww. It's been over three years, and you still haven't broke the 100k viewer milestone.
You just DESERVE more views, there simply ain't no other drummer better than you!
now he has :)
:)
only 170k almost 9 years later :(

after listening to the original song i just had to watch the drum cover for it when it came up as a result. GREAT JOB!
This could quite possibly be the greatest thing I have ever heard...
the drums in this song are some of the most awesome ive ever heard. props
Damn I wish I could play it like you do!
Awesome job man 😎👍
Aargh, I'm still getting chills when I listen you playing this song!!
one of the best tracks u couldve picked very epic :D
I was literally thinking just now that it would be awesome to hear a cover of Shellshock. looked it up on youtube, and sure enough someone did make one! :D Amazing work!
dude is killin it!
This is not a regular drum cover! This is godamn extraordinary!
@Kanga272 it was my buddy who showed me the song, said it had some crazy beats in it so I heard it..thought it could be cool on a drumset and 5 days (and an unhealthy amount of listening) later this video was made.
That. Was. Fucking. Dope. As. Shit
LOVE THE KICKS AND SNARES IN THIS IT'S CRAZY BRO!!! GREAT COVER
WOW! this guy had every drum hit, fill, cymbal trap right! that is what i call a great drummer!
I'm always really impressed with people who do breakbeat type stuff on a kit. Great video!
I was blown away by that, fella! Really excellent work!!
YES!!!!!! Bro you killed it! That was absolutely SICK! Big UPS!!!!
Drum & Bass with real Drums !!! aweeesssoommeee !!!!really nice job :)
Mind blowing. Loving some of the stuff you're doing with the hi-hats.
damn... I remember when this song came out and I heard it for the first time... I still have goosebumbs on the rhythmical arrangement of it... damn impressive.. and you kick-ass those drums man! awesome vid
You absolutely killed it. Nice job.
You made this look a lot easier than it actually is! I could never quite get the double bass hits to quite match up after that first drop 🙈
Dude this is the best drum and bass drum cover out there! You shoudl really do Noisia - Could this be!
Dude this soo sick.. Amaizing job!!!
How can you not LOVE this! You're a wizzard!
This is fantastic! Nice work!
That song is pretty awesome, might have to mess with it!
Mind blowing 🔥 you nailed it man
Wow!!!! So rapid!!! Awesome!!

I love it. Really amazing.
I love these drums

That was awesome, well done
Great drummer, great music_
This is so awesome.
P-H-A-T props for that damm nice drumming.
love it!
Such a great session!
Incredible! Thank you.
You're legit not even human to do this and Moonway Renegade.
Bet you couldn't do Noisia's 'The Tide', or Limewax's 'Scream War'. :D :D :D
Max Respect to you sir, wicked tune, wicked cover. END OF
@OwnedRL you sir, are the first request I've done. hope you enjoy!
you play it much cleaner and well.... more accurately than the other drummers ive seen try to play this song. great job.
This takes so much concentration. How is this possible!
Why do I like this so much?
I was wandering if ... Could you make a new video of this one but this time with you pedal video camera filming it??? dude your like a clock man , i have been watching your videos and jojo mayer's videos too... you guys rule . keep up the awsome work ben!!
the cymbal mute section is the best... way to go man you can rock those friggin drums
@TimMc333 in this vid...drums: pearl reference 22x20 kick, 8x7 rack, 10x9 rack, 14x14 floor, 16x16 floor, steve ferrone sig series snare, pearl 13x3 brass piccolo side snare. pearl 2000 series hardware, dw 9000 double pedal, pearl roadster throne.

Very, very clean play, love it, this makes listening to this music (not really my style) worthwile :) Keep on the good work!
@esacbw this is the only video I put a click track with the track as well. not cause of the spaces but when it drops into those faster parts it helps to stay dead on with every hit, and for a song like this where there is so much goin on anything shy of that would've sounded like crap.

Amazing.
@stefrotiedits this is sped back up obviously...but for learning slower is always easier
this is insane dude!! i want to try doing noisia drum covers but it looks hard to get on beat
@FreeIntelMedia thanks man! I've been playing for about 12 years
if you counted it in 8, HH is playing 8ths while you left hits on 2, 6, and the & of 7. with ghost notes between them.
Can I make a request? I think you should do Sunhammer by Noisia. Now THAT would be amazing.
the drum is EPIC!!!!
@metallix11 yea i play in the band Digital Summer
Dude, this is seriously insane....
very impressive!!
Just wow!
i'd love to have the transcription for this
Amazing!
morrrrre drum n bass covers! might i suggest: Dillinja - 'Take Me All The Way' (i like the drums in that one)
I don't have the original audio or video files or I would! I did another noisia video where my drums were all mic'd rather than this (just kick and room mics) so it's more clear.
insane beat
Impressive! I'd like to see how you'd do the drum solo section, if not the full track, of Noisia - Get Deaded.
the drums are still in the track, I tried to mix mine in to sit just on top of them
That was awesome man!
Dude, you are the man.
Could watch this all day. Opps looks like i have :)
this dude is amazing !!!!
This is sick!
@SHAFTMASTATWEAK no, unfortunately cause my mic setup I can only go so loud before the cymbals just dominate the mix so I try to keep it about 60/40 drums:track. On the next noisia video i'll probably use a smaller kit so I can mic it better and do like a 75/25 mix
You are such a dope drummer.
You did the damn thing on this!!
loved the last bit
You are like the best drummer i´ve ever seen.
F***ing Awesome Video
Keep it up ;)
This is freaking epic dude.
practice makes perfect, and be patient with yourself! some things are easier to pick up than others.
Unbelievable. Done it justice
sei un grande ! Ti adoro!
badass cover
In my opinion THAT is what makes a good drummer. Some awesome dnb tune played on his drums. a Song i would love to hear would be Netsky's No Beginning. i really would love that.
2:35 was actually so nice. You have some serious talent
Whoaaa.... Great!!
awesome, thanks!
@WhispersOfALiar yep 14"
dude! great job! way to use your ear and understand the tune. that's what real musicianship is about. thumbs up!
Holy fuck great job man. That was really nice watching!
man !!! - u rock !!!!!
SO SICK
