- Me covering "The Dark Eternal Night" by Dream Theater. I threw in a quick solo at the end.
I already uploaded a video of this cover, but I wasn't satisfied with it. So I decided to shoot it again and make improvements.
Cameraman: Tyler Gauthier
9:20 Ah, you put a tiny bit of Dance of Eternity in there. I literally thought your kit sounded like Portnoy's the more I listened! Awesome job, man. :)
This HAS to be one of the best covers on youtube EVER! Great job, man :)
best cover ive seen, the drumming was perfect, great video and sound quality, amazing solo at the end, awesome 2 in 1 kit like mike, and awesome camera work. 5 stars
This is definitely the best cover I've heard. Really nice job!
I live for that piano breakdown :3
Perfect cover
man the cover is awesome. i really love your hi-hat
not only was the drumming good but also the camera work, nice drumming, u r amazing rock on
Nice Cover!!! This helped me a lot. Oh and by the way nice homemade bass drum hole.
I think the one person who disliked this was very drunk and everything was a blur..and missed the Like button.
They should have a Love button. Cuz man, I LOVED this !
WOOOOW! MAN CONGRATS!!! (felicitaciones muy buen solo)
1:07 is definitly one of the most badass fills I've ever heard. *-*
this .... was pretty danm perfect!
wow !!!! perfect
Damn you're good :O and a like how you shot it a few times for different angles. very cool! :D
ooo
now have sense
nice idea man
well played
Amazing Man!!!
Wow! I like your sound.Your sound is good!
this was awesome!!! 5/5!
Perfect.
That's some PRO drumming right there man!! I'm a very beginner and this is so fuckin' inspiring ^ ^
Great Job body, you did it !!
this one nailed too
Phenomenal cover.
I play the drums myself, too, but it will take a while before I´ll be as skilled as you.
DT is really difficult to play, since Mike Portnoy is like a God on the drums;)
Great job brother! I would love to have a drummer of your skill in my band. It ain't no easy task to cover Portnoy, and you aced it with style! 5 Stars!!!
Absolutely great man! Great job with it. I've been working at this song and finished it recently. If I can recommend one thing it would be to focus on your technique a little bit and try to turn your right hand flat when your playing the high hat especially. Great video though.
I have the same double pedals! They are sweet!
holy shit !
nuff said!
very nice cover
how.... if you play DT, you play absolutely anything !!! Awesome !!!
wowwwwwww
@barbarajmay Every piano breakdown is amazing
solo ends with as i am ends, what could be better thn that'!! fuckin awesomeeeee dudee !!!!!!!!!!! CONGRATULATIONSS!!!!!!!
@GBuenve If you're asking for the brand, it's a Tama Swingstar with a bunch of stuff added on to it. The kit I am on is a swingstar. The one to my right is a Tama Rockstar.
Good job! You play very clean :) by the way The drummer in my band has the same double base pedal :D
do you play the dance of eternity??
lol that is awesome!!!!!
That does it now I really hate ya! Great job dude truly awesome keep the vids coming
FANTASTIC job! VERY tight and precise! 5 stars. A word of caution though. WMG owns the Dream Theater rights and made TH-cam pull down my only DT cover. It really sucks when you put all that time and effort into a video, only to have it yanked. Hopefully, they'll miss this one so everyone can view the mastery you display here! Good luck to you.
This cover is amazing! keep it up!
btw what is your recording setup (mics, mixer, software, etc.) Just curious, sounds good.
Whatever band you are in is a damn lucky band.
The best drum cover I've seen so far :O How long have you been playing?
@sonicsticks46 Yeah haha! My only advice is to take your time with the feet. If you try to rush it, your legs may tense up and make it more difficult. Don't think about speed, just let your feet do the running naturally. I played the song twice to get the angles; one angle on a tripod and the other, free-hand. At 5:47 I am actually using two feet, but it can be done either way. Good luck!
@Mofobiscuits It makes the snare hits a bit stronger and I've noticed that my drum heads last longer when there is only one nylon tip hitting them at a time, rather than two. It is really just personal preference and it is comfortable for me.
@SonicandBGCD sometimes but only the left one if it is mike portnoy we are talking about
@drummerdude100 I used the audio from the first take (tripod/steady shot). The moving shots are muted as the audio from the tripod take is overlaid.
fucking killed it dude....
great cover wodering how much it would cost to buy a kit like that
@sonicsticks46 No, I'm actually using both feet, you just can't hear it well
@my103plague Don't see the link in that . Consider making your snare and bass louder ?
@xfrenz93x Yeah, I'm working on that.
@my103plague it's the Portnoy style! doesn't anyone know anything? xD
@Wiinvideo I wish you luck!
@SonicandBGCD ...and in doing so fattens his snare sound just right?
@my103plague are you building your own double kit monster?
Haha, and the pinky fingers are funny lol
that last hit on the cymbal, did you take that from as i am??? after the mini solo i meen lol
just a question
why the pedal sound weaker when you are in the solo ?
the quality falls down, i was hearing
or did you first recorded the audio drums from the song and placed on the song?
How many takes did you need to edit this? Seems to me it would be a bitch to edit in perfect synch, props to you man :D
Any reason why you're holding the left stick the other way round?
Where the mics? How was this recorded? It's very well played but it's obviously recorded in different takes and I'm just wondering how you recorded the drums...
what kind of snare drum are you using for this video???? is it a black panther?
And by that I mean not of this song but of all the drumcovers on youtube
YOU F*CKING ROCK!!!!!AMAZING!!!are those the mastersound hihats or regular. and why are there soo many drum sets!!!!
This is a good cover, but why do you have 3 drum sets?
DUDE you need to grip the sticks tighter so your fulcrum is better (ecspecially your pinkie finger), it would improve your playing, not saying that im a mini mike portnoy myself, but it would make those fast 16 and 32 notes a lot cleaner :))
@ssnnaarree Yupp
what pedals do u use?
@ssnnaarree Not necessarily true. I was introduced to Portnoy only 3 years ago. I have held the stick that way long before then.
Dude u even hold the snare stick the way Portnoy does. The other way to get that amazing Pop outta the sound. Lol. All u need is the blue Goatee! lol
GHOST NOTES........
who's the one person who disliked this?
its too loud with its good and awesome drum..... it too awesome for me
you play really cool but the way you grip your stick will cause you problems with the time like arthritis
@12jonaskor Maybe 0_o
can only hear your cymbals . no way u can get a sound similiar to mike's kit .
If you had worded it like that, it would be better
dude, nice but get a DVD on hand technique, your left hand is cringe worthy, flicking the pinky :P other wise very good
lol? i like your cover very much but this is just an opinion about a cymbal you dont have to act like this
Then don't watch
this crash sound is annoying
what drum set are you using ??
