Bob Dylan once said “ The highest purpose of art is to inspire.” I’m a drummer and every time I watch these videos, I’m inspired to go play my drums. Thank you Delta Empire...whoever you are.
As so many people on the internet want to be famous and recognized by everyone. You want to hide your identity and show how to really play a drum set. I'm amazed at your ability to play so many different styles, I can honestly say I can never get tired of listening to you play..... A fan of the badass drummer who I have no idea who he is.....
Maybe he is famous,but, it’s not what paying the bills. Some people are strange about images. Myself, if they can rock the drums,no matter what the song, I’m all for it
I started watching Delta for their Depeche Mode covers and stayed for every single song! Amazing drummer! Seriously the best and most underated drummer on TH-cam.
His ability to play every genre of music is beyond any other drummer currently. His version of DM song's are far and away better than their current drummer. I'd like to see him do a Smith's cover.
@@djdamode I did, and I also hooked up Delta with DW drums and Taylor guitars to make deltas custom snare. That's in the works. But there's so much that goes into a project like this. My hats off to your good taste
This is my first comment on TH-cam ever. For almost 10 years I've been a "ghost watcher" but you made me come out and say a big Thank you for your work and for the great music you play.
Delta's talent and ability to play with the gloves and mask are amazing. What's more impressive is that we appreciate these videos without bias; without needing to know race, color, creed or gender. Well done Delta.
That's probably the idea. Who knows who's behind the mask, right? Also, he's gone out of his way to conceal any recognizable tattoos, piercings that may reveal his identity. Simply genius
Very well done. They don't write songs like this anymore. Not even close when they try to give songs an " '80s feel" to them. Such an amazing time for music. From punk to new wave to pop and everything in between. Thanks for doing this one.
Dude, yet again you go next level on a 4/4 beat. That little sommin sommin you do at around 3min. Come on man. Love it. You never fail to impress. Thank you.
I've only been drumming for like 3 months (never too old to relive your childhood lol). There's so many talented technical drummers out there .. but you're such a great example of what "groove" is. It's something that is very hard to impossible to define - its just there and pulls the whole song ... amazing ... I learn so much just listening and watching.
Kinda speechless, as I usually am after watching a Delta vid. Whoever you are, I hope you know how much we value you and are awed when we watch your vids.
I roll my eyes whenever it comes on the radio... I mean how many times do I have to hear this song? Up until Delta gets ahold of it, and I feel like I'm hearing it for the first time. Very impressive
The fact that we do not know who's behind that brutal display of technique and talent makes it even more desirable to watch! Whoever you are, your work is phenomenal!
You alone have inspired me to learn to play at the young age of 46. You make me feel the songs when you beat em down. Please continue to crank em out young one. You do us all a great service. And thank you from the bottom of my heart.
I was a kid when this song came out and I always thought it was pretty random but man! With such a drummer it takes a whole new dimension! Well done. That's so tight in terms of play and sound. Love it.
I love the way you can take a song I was never very high on and suddenly make it something I have to have on my playlist. I loved your take on this 80's classic!
Being a drummer, a metal head and growing up in the 80s, im happy to admit these are the bands that inspired, i learnt to play the drums at 8, my uncle was a jazz drummer and my first song i learnt on the drums was elvis, jail house rock. I used to be called weird as a teen as i liked and played all genres of music , its what made me what i am today from elvis to metallica.
This really makes me appreciate the talent of the Tears For Fears drummer. Thank you for the visual on that play through. You continue to impress with your videos Delta Empire.
I work for a fintech and on friday mornings we do a little jukebox. @Delta Empire, the entire team is now obsessed with you. This is probably one of my favorites you've done. Thank you for making the work week better!
Mr Delta you are fn amazing. Love it man you got us all bouncing with you. Please don't stop rocking it. That was awesome. Your brother from south georgia. Great job sir
This is, by far, my favorite drum cover on TH-cam. Utterly amazing!!!! There are some moments were the drums, as your interpretation, are the lead instrument; very rare and not easy to achieve. This song, in particular, has so many layers and your drumming rose to the top on several occasions. Fantastic!!
You remember me of a drummer I played a long time ago! He was so powerful, groovy and forward playing what made it impossible not to start to sweat just by listening and watching him. And he was an extremely high professional drummer, very flexible and very creative. He had the same shape as you and he also was „dancing“ while he was drumming! He was the best drummer I have ever worked with. This is 30 years ago. But we are still young. So - who knows? It is fantastic to see that this highly energetic way of drumming is still alive.
Delta playing this shit sooooooo much better than original!!!!! Sooo much more fill!!!!! You rock Delta!!!!!! Your ears are definitely tuned with your love and beat of music!!!! You show us all,,,, how we put our bodies into the love of the music!!!!
Delta i am a metal head. But i am versatile with my music. Tears for fears is a legend. You covered this song i am very proud of you. Very nice cover. Kudos my friend delta..
yeah!!! as a drummer i just have to admit that i like your interpretation of that song more than the original! and i love the original. so, d.e., you got me again deep in my heart. thank you❤️
God took a break on the 7th day. But on the 8th day, he pointed at one person and said, 'go get yourself a drumset and start playing drums'. That's him right here.
I remember this song in my high school days...was a drumer then and still sit behind the kit to play and never did I think to play this song. Watching you playing this with so much power and enthusiasm . Felt right thru the phone...song for the times..fellin it..well done. Thank you
What a fantastic song choice! I had no idea that Tears For Fears had such a drum heavy sound until I watched this cover! You were amazing and I could tell you were having fun with this one! Doing a Tears For Fears cover was surprising but that’s just the sort of thing you see with a real professional like yourself! As a massive fan, I can’t wait see your next video! You never disappoint and you’re always fantastic! Cheers!
You sir never fail to disappoint!! I've been away for awhile so I spent the day on a bit of a Delta binge and truth be told I'm beyond inspired!! Love the song selections. You're a hell of a producer, your mixes sound phenomenal!! Bravo and Well Done!!
I was about 12 or so when this originally came out and never really got into it then. The original has grown on my now that I'm almost 50, but if THIS was the version that they aired back in the 80s, I woulda been a fan. Good shit, my man!
You know, this is the perfect song to display the anger that's going on across the U.S. right now. As always, a stellar performance! Stay healthy, Delta!!
What a great choice. I remember when this came out. You kits sounds great as always. Respect from Baltimore as always. If you ever get bored, come to Baltimore. It's a riot!!!
Absolutely phenomenal!!, musicians are very talented folks, and especially to cover a great song like Shout, appreciate your talent and digging the sinister look😎, keep thumping my man💪🏽🕺🏾🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Bob Dylan once said “ The highest purpose of art is to inspire.” I’m a drummer and every time I watch these videos, I’m inspired to go play my drums. Thank you Delta Empire...whoever you are.
I heard that's he's Justin Bieber
Dylan said it twice.
Delta is a machine. Love this guy too. th-cam.com/video/6suv3mraIhw/w-d-xo.html
Delta is also a character from Star Trek Enterprise
If you need to watch a video to get inspired to play....then you are not really inspired to be a drummer. Try football.
As so many people on the internet want to be famous and recognized by everyone.
You want to hide your identity and show how to really play a drum set.
I'm amazed at your ability to play so many different styles, I can honestly say I can never get tired of listening to you play.....
A fan of the badass drummer who I have no idea who he is.....
Maybe he’s already famous without his mask lol
@@jjy-lx6fv maybe thast why he's wearing the mask
i think he's Cobus
Or she!
Maybe he is famous,but, it’s not what paying the bills. Some people are strange about images. Myself, if they can rock the drums,no matter what the song, I’m all for it

@@BobbyJetty1502 Yeah I agree. Someone needs to send Dave or Martin some of Delta's videos. Can you imagine Delta playing drums on a new DM album?
@@BobbyJetty1502 Totally agree. Delta Empire rendition of Going Backwards is stunning
@@djdamode I did, and I also hooked up Delta with DW drums and Taylor guitars to make deltas custom snare. That's in the works. But there's so much that goes into a project like this. My hats off to your good taste
I have never heard toms on a kit tuned to such excellence and that snare kills . Thanks for making my day .
Delta Empire....the one and only...always surprising us with such delightful performance
Always so easy for you
This is my first comment on TH-cam ever. For almost 10 years I've been a "ghost watcher" but you made me come out and say a big Thank you for your work and for the great music you play.
This amount of discipline it must’ve took to watch TH-cam for that long and to read countless comments without replying to a single one… that’s crazy
@@mountainmonkey15 Fr though, 10 years is wild
What a strange choice.
Delta's talent and ability to play with the gloves and mask are amazing. What's more impressive is that we appreciate these videos without bias; without needing to know race, color, creed or gender. Well done Delta.

Whoever you are Pleeeeease don't reveal yourself. An incredible drummer! I could watch and listen to you all day and night!
It’s Uli Kusch
@@jumpinjojo really?where you get this information?
He's the drummer for sleep token
Holy Shit ! This Is Freaking Awesome !!! This is the best drum cover of Shout I ever heard in my life !
It's the versatility that most impresses me about Delta Empire. Regardless of genre, he can play it, and do a great job at it.
Very well done. They don't write songs like this anymore. Not even close when they try to give songs an " '80s feel" to them. Such an amazing time for music. From punk to new wave to pop and everything in between. Thanks for doing this one.
Just love the sound of this kit.
Wow, you really breathed new life into that track! Fantastic! Best drummer on TH-cam!
Wow Awesome...............unbelievable. Shout is one of my top 10 favorite songs.

Very impressive
I played drums for 20 years. Now thanks to Delta i’m learning how to do it properly in such an easy, funny and fast way.
Mate, not often I get my breath taken away watching a dude play the drums. So right Ryan Aten. WOW. That's as close to perfection for me.
Seriously addicted to this channel
The fact that we do not know who's behind that brutal display of technique and talent makes it even more desirable to watch! Whoever you are, your work is phenomenal!
Watching a good drummer is poetry and you are poet laureate of the drums......
You alone have inspired me to learn to play at the young age of 46. You make me feel the songs when you beat em down. Please continue to crank em out young one. You do us all a great service. And thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Go for it I am 63
Sorry Brother .. I keep coming back to this .. just love it .. i must have watched it 10 times already ...
This genuinely is one of the greatest things I have ever seen. No lies, here.
Amazing....Nice job...again 👏🏻👏🏼👏🏽👏🏾👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
This takes me back. Excellent choice and cover. Poignant for the world today.
My goodness. Love love love the double bass leadups..
Delta Empire... What a great tribute to an old classic. Just magic!
Le Génie n'est pas seulement dans l'Interprétation... Mais aussi dans le Choix...
Merci pour ces moments!!
Im obsessed with this atm. Listen to it every day.
As well you should. It's epic.
You were born to hit skins man. Respect the talent!
I was a kid when this song came out and I always thought it was pretty random but man! With such a drummer it takes a whole new dimension!
Well done. That's so tight in terms of play and sound. Love it.
Delta makes this track from Tears for Fears even better as it already is. Madness Thanks!
I love the way you can take a song I was never very high on and suddenly make it something I have to have on my playlist. I loved your take on this 80's classic!
Delta Empire the Stig of the drumming world!

From Russia with love, thx for your talent. Great!
Perfection 🖤
!!!STANDING APPLAUSE!!!
!!!BRAVO!!!
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
!!!EXCELLENT!!!
Unreal. Love the diverse covers. Ruiner and closer are two of my favorite so far. The way you changed them up was fantastic!
his take on closer is better than the original drum sound....thats just my thought
Delta playing this shit sooooooo much better than original!!!!! Sooo much more fill!!!!! You rock Delta!!!!!! Your ears are definitely tuned with your love and beat of music!!!! You show us all,,,, how we put our bodies into the love of the music!!!!
None of these remakes were as good as Tears for Fears- close though.
Delta i am a metal head. But i am versatile with my music. Tears for fears is a legend. You covered this song i am very proud of you. Very nice cover. Kudos my friend delta..
Apr 6, 2023 - from a deep hole, I saw this video and was blown away! Bravo!!!
Watching you play is a treat bro !!!
Kick ass drumming 🙌🙌🙌
Ohhhh yesssssssss

and i love the original.
so, d.e., you got me again deep in my heart.
thank you❤️
Great job, another quality performance, thank you very much 👍😀

Kick ass brother!!!
An absolute masterpiece of cover, definitely one of my favourites.
Yeah !!! whoever you are. I like your style and energy. You make me wish i knew how to play drums ... Thank you Delta Empire
I love your taste of music... big fan of DM and you play almost all their songs ....
Keep up the good work...
You are like Daft Punk on TH-cam
Who knew Shout had such an intricate kick drum groove? Dope.
He’s the drummer’s version of The Stig from Top Gear.
This comment right here perfectly sums up the relevance of Delta.. One of the best around but, such a mystery!!
A drum-stig
😂😂😂
I think he is a she.
Derrick Santos I think it’s a he she, or politically correct a shim
The best version that I saw! Awesone!! The best job!

You just took me back almost 40 years, thank you! Couldnt appreciate the drum part then, but i do now.
Superb interpretation, great imagination, perfect execution, if I had a hat I would, well, you know...
Delta Empire you are the best 🤘🤘🤘
That’s what I call innovation
No excessive complicated linear fills and double kick. Solid playing in the pocket. I'm envious.
Excelente, Genio. Fabulosa interpretación. Aparte te elegiste un TEMAZO.
Wow... That was Awesome!! I love when u cover these alternative bands from the 80’s & 90’s!

You are just awesome. This version changed my mind on the original, too. But now I can’t listen to any version but this!
You bring a different angle to the song and I like it. Thanks Delta!
