- A Drum Cover of It's So Easy by Guns N' Roses
Track #2 from their Monumental 1987 album: Appetite for Destruction
⬇️ More info down here ⬇️
Steven Adler brought something to the table with Guns, that I really don't think they have had since. No offence to Matt Sorum, He was insanely good in his own respects (Love that drummer too!)He was a major influence to my style when learning drums and jamming in my high school band. He proves that you don't need a monster hit to have pure energy and power behind the kit.
Appetite was for me (as it may be for many) one of the top albums of all time. Every track is incredible. I'll be covering more of these in the future!!!
... Gotta have that cowbell baby

(Also I know this comment is years after I posted the video, BUT it's still getting a ton of attention, so I figured Id drop by and say thank you to the new viewers! You Rock!)
Something about Adler's drumming... so simple yet rockingly good!
You nailed it! He had such feel and groove, at points it sounds like he is jamming, but there's a good structure to each of the songs on Appetite!
@Big Daddy Rikka yup! All about feel and Jamming it out! Playing in a live band certainly helps!
this is just perfectly executed, no unnecessary fills all over the place unlike other covers, this is great
Thank you so much for checking it out and the comment! 🤘🤘 Adler is so good! His style and feel is unmatched!
I try to get the covers as close to note for note as possible.
You might also dig My Michelle! Just posted it today! th-cam.com/video/0GLLiailwvk/w-d-xo.html
muy bien es rapido y toca parecido a steven
No unnecessary fills
No unnecessary toms
No unnecessary cymbales
But a necssary raw energy !
Good job 👍
Haha thanks so much! Yeah, it’s a shame when people want to add to a perfect song :P
Awesome cover. Steven Adler is one of my favorite drummers of all time, and you nailed it
Hey Thank you so much!! I have a TON from Appetite on the channel! With some more on the way!
Really appreciate the comment!
Love the china, overall really good playing probably one of the best covers
Hey thank you so much!! Yeah it's a super thrashy china! Sabian HHX 18"
You know you are awesome at drumming dude! Plus you rock!
FANTASTIC!!
Awesome man! Keep on rocking it! So crazy cool!
Now that was jammin
haha Hell yeah!! 🤘🤘
Great work, Digging the new kit!
Thanks for keeping it real! 🤘🏼
Thanks man!! I appreciate the comment!! Yeah, I had to mix it up with the smaller (yet larger bass drum) kit for a while! I still have the bigger one for more of the metal side of things!!!
And no worries haha more covers coming up each week!!! 🤘🤘
Oh Hell yes!! Steven Adler is the man! your kit sounds great
Thank you so much!! He's such an inspiration! 🤘 Glad yo liked it!
Excellent!
Thank you!!
IMO the best cover of youtube, nice 👌👌👌
Thank you 🤘🤘 really appreciate the comment!
I want to do more from appetite! My Michelle, mr brownstone, rocket queen!
Awesome cover. The percussion is such an important part of the feel of this song. Way to rock it!👍👍👍🎼🎵🎶🎵🎶
Hey Thank you so much for the comment! So glad you enjoyed it! 🤘
Muy bueno!!! Desde Montevideo Uruguay!!
Jesus. That is so rockin out dude. Great sound.
Thanks my man! I really appreciate the comment! What's your favorite appetite song? I plan on covering some more 🤘🤘
@@MartinBellamyMBDrums I’ve always been a little partial to Nightrain myself. Adler’s feel is that album. I think he would approve. 😎
MbDrums from L.A. 🤟🤟🤟
Haha hey thank you Mauro! I’m from Canada!! 🤘
I love that floor tom and rack tom hit right at the beginning. Wasn't in the original track, but it made this version stick out. Sick drumming!
haha Thank you!! It seemed like it should have been there so I added it in!! Glad you liked it! 🤘🤘
The incoming verse is very loose and open, that extra tom hit in the beginning messes up that feel and makes it rush. It’s more apparent when you close your eyes and listen. It’s good that it wasn’t in the final version
@@jd0879 I see what you're saying, it's all personal preference I suppose, but the hit makes it sound more aggressive, which to me sounds like it fits better. But oh well!
love your channel man! your feel and touch on the instrument is great and so intense🔥🔥🔥
Oh thank you so much!! I really appreciate your comment!! I've been upgrading here and there to have better videos and content 😁 more is on the way!!
Badass
aha! Thanks Benjamin! More GnR on the way soon! I have most of Appetite recorded and waiting to be edited!
Thanks for the comment!🤘🤘
Sick bro I'm so new to drumming and barely got the basic grooves down but I'm obsessed. Videos like this will give me the will to keep practising. Keep it up bro
Dude that's awesome! Im so glad I could give you some motivation! Happy drumming!! Seriously just keep at it and you'll be golden!
Solid!
Hey thank you!!🤘🤘
Great cover man, very energetic and precise playing
Thank you so much Janne! Really appreciate that!
I absolutely love it! Its how its supposed to sound without the extra chops and unnecessary fills the other people make to show off!
Yo thanks so much! Especially with Guns N Rose's, it's such a raw and powerful album to begin with!🤘🤘
me encanto!!! la rompiste!!!!
Muchas gracias mi amigo!!🤘🤘
Killer job bro!!! Drums sound great!!! Love the editing at the very end, the music fade 🤘🎶 ALL HAIL MB!
That was a cool ending for sure, I think those are the parts of the videos I am most stoked for 🤣🤘
just a spot to practice wacky editing haha
Thanks for the comment and the continuous support 🤘🤘 Glad you liked it!
@@MartinBellamyMBDrums Glad to support the channel. We gotta stick together 😉🤘😹
you rock dude!!!
nah, YOU rock!! 🤘
GNR is always a great choice and your drumming is so powerful! Epic work :)
Oh man, thank you so much!!! Really appreciate the comment! Hope you're doing well!

That was kick ass dude
Thank you Luca!
Nice Job!!
Thank you!! 🤘🤘
Very cool performance, well played!
Thank you so much!! Glad you enjoyed it!!! 🤘🤘
Thanks for the comment!
I really love your flow, man, Perfect drumming. One of my favorite in these Appetite tunes is use of the cowbell -- absolutely perfect. I get such a buzz every time I hear the cowbell during the chorus.
Also, I'm curious -- do you like Sorum's drumming for these Appetite tunes? Matt is technically a great drummer but honestly, I never liked his drumming for Appetite songs,. Steven had and has amazing flow -- you listen to Live at the Ritz and I'm like -- YEAH, this is the only real Guns drummer for me. You listen to the Tokyo stuff, there's nothing wrong with Sorum's drumming, technically better than Steven but Steven Adler had something, I can't stand to listen to these songs with Sorum's drumming, it somehow doesn't have the flow that Steven has/had for me, curious if you agree. It was so flow, simple, powerful and natural, just effortless.
The way you articulated the wording in that last comment was bang on!
Sorum is no doubt a fantastic Rock drummer, but I feel like Adler had a unique swing and groove to his playing that brought an energy to Appetite that hasn't been there since.
Gran batero 😊
Good job!
Hey thank you so much!!🤘
That… Was… Awesome! In its own simplicity (without ANY disrespect).
Love Adlers drumming with G&N.
@@christerolausson2702 that’s what’s so good about Adlers style. He never over played anything!! So pumped you liked it :)
Genialisimo
🤘🤘
GREAT MAN
Hey thank you so much! 🤘🤘
@@MartinBellamyMBDrums I grown up with listening GNR...I know every singel tone...you played perfect😉
bro, good cover, I liked it
Oh dude! Thanks so much 🤘, such a great album! The next guns cover I'm doing will either be My Michelle or Mr. Brownstone!
Awesomeness. You make it look all so fudgin' easy!
One could say it's .... So Easy .... 😂 Jk, this one took a while to get. the first take the recording file corrupted, the next one, one of the cameras wasn't on. so this was the third "final" version lol
Thanks for checking out the older covers Todd! 🤘
@@MartinBellamyMBDrums No problem. As a relatively new subscriber, I've got some catching up to do! Thank you for your content, it's great stuff.
@@toddlawrance4045 My apologies I didnt see this, thank you so much for the support!!!
I clicked on this expecting it to be a mediocre cover, but now I’ve watched it and it’s really damn good, 10/10 would recommend 👍
Haha thanks so much! Steven Adler is one of my main influences! I'm glad you liked it! I posted a my Michelle cover a few weeks back, a little better mix compared to this one! 🤘 cheers!
Here it is, if you're interested:
th-cam.com/video/0GLLiailwvk/w-d-xo.html
@@MartinBellamyMBDrums that’s cool man! Adler is most definitely my main influence (even tho it’s been a while since the last time I played), also I would recommend covering one of his songs from his album Back From the Dead, I think you could really nail some of those
Shoot, sorry I just saw this, I'll be checking that album out!! I honestly haven't listened to it!
I have some musical homework now!! haha
Steven is smiling somewhere. Great job man!!!
Hopefully I can see him play one day, have you seen him at all?
@@MartinBellamyMBDrums I saw the original play back in 1993 in Columbia, SC with Metallica and Faith No More. One of the best concerts I've ever seen. And Garth Brooks a year later, awesome show.
Well done, just like the track with no special additives or preservatives! Let's not forget who wrote those basic yet signature drum tracks that very few drummers even with doublebass stand next to today! "Steven Adler!"
A solid foundation of the classics is SO important for drumming! Zeppelin, GNR, Motley, the list goes on!
awesome dude🔥 keep rockin🤘
Thanks so much! 🤘🤘really appreciate the comment! What appetite song do you want to hear next?
@@MartinBellamyMBDrums can you play mr brownstone?🤩
@@oneru6723 Yeeesssss!!!!🤘 that was the next gunners song I had my eyes and ears on!!!! Great choice!!!
@@MartinBellamyMBDrums can't wait🤩🤩
Caught this on Dman's channel - bro, that kit sound is super, super nice! Got some serious bite to it! And you hit like a boss my friend. Killer job
Oh dude! Thanks for the comment Trey really appreciated!!🤘❤ You can probably tell I learned some skills from 80s drummers hahaha key suspect... Tommy Lee! He plays his drums like they owe him money hahaha
@@MartinBellamyMBDrums He does dude LOL! But honestly, for that good meaty rock sound, you gotta hit the piss out of 'em. Or to me ya do. It just brings out the body of the drum, the crack, etc. Keep that shit coming man. Again, AWESOME job
@@TreyBDrums dude if I could frame that comment I would! Haha you nailed it!!!
And hell yeah man! Let me know if you want a request! I'll try and knock somethin out for ya!
Muito bom. Very very good!
Muito obrigado meu amigo 🤘 GnR Rules!!!
Niiiiice that 1:17
Awesome cover 🤘
Oh dude thank you so much! Let me know if you want another guns cover! I have a few in mind! 🤘Thank you for the comment!
@@MartinBellamyMBDrums Knockin on heavens door is a must, i attempted it but dont think i did it justice!
@@DrumsbyAshWells I'm sure it was killer man! I'll check it out!! I know my jam buddies have 100% played that song before! When I have my white kit set up again I'll bust out some more Gn'R 🤘🤘
trop fort ca fait du bien d'entendre du bon son..
En tant que canal de batterie, je voulais augmenter le volume. J'apprécie le commentaire!
Desde Chile, eso fue Genial!!!
¡Muchas gracias! ¿Fuiste a ese show de Pantera?
@@MartinBellamyMBDrums no estoy en casa
gracias a ti
después te explico
@@SantoArte No hay problema 🤘🤘

Nicely played man! 👏 You looked happy at the end with that attempt! 😉 Came here from DM190’s DTW contest. Have subscribed too 👍
Oh sick man! Thank you so much! Haha this was the cover from hell!haha first take, the left camera ran out of batteries, second take the audio file crashed so I lost that one fast forward to the third final full take. And boom here we are! Hahaa 🤘
Thanks so much for the comment and the support my dude! Really appreciated! I'll check out your channel too!!
@@MartinBellamyMBDrums haha I know what it’s like, this business isn’t a 1 take show! I’d be lucky if I nail it in 10 😂
Uau!! Destruiu!
Muito obrigado!
Hey man! This is awesome! Saw you in DrumMan190’s video, came by and subbed.
Oh dude! Thank yor for checking it out! AND subscribing! Really appreciate it! 🤘❤ glad you enjoyed it
I'll check out your channel too!
Came here from Drumman190 channel. Great cover. you gained a new sub. 😎👍
Oh that's so sick! Thank you for checking out the channel, the video and for the support dude! Really appreciated!🤘😊
@@MartinBellamyMBDrums I like a lot of the music on your channel. not really familiar with Lamb of God. 😎👍
@@aaronondrums4588 oh that's awesome! Its either heavy metal like lamb of God/pantera or 80s hair metal haha certainly some fun and challenging stuff!
Do you have a favorite band/type of music?
I like all that. some Pantera so I might like that too. I listen and play music mostly from the 60s to 90s. Sammy Hagar is probably my favorite. I am wearing the shirt from when I seen him in concert. I have bands listed in my about on my channel. I am currently learning jazz which is helping me gain 4 limb independence. 😎👍
@@aaronondrums4588 solid choices! And that's a great way to learn it! Jazz certainly opens a ton more possibilities!
Your snare sounds awesome.Your whole set does n awesome job.Is that a PDP drum set?
Hey Thank you Kevin, I really appreciate that, I spend literally hours on each mix
And this one is a Tame Superstar Hyperdrive, a bit more of a match to Steven's kit in terms of sound
🤘
👌🏻
Yeah 👌🏻✌🏻
Thank you again! Gotta love GnR!
The little fill before chorus. is it a right, left on the snare followed by a double kick and then snare/China? I’m learning this song and wanna make sure I’m playing it right😂 hope that made sense, cheers🤘🏽
Hey yup!! At least that’s how I hear it being played on the record. You could use a double pedal if your right foot isn’t up to speed on the bass drum yet. Or just turn the doubles into singles
So… da gu Ja
Instead of.. dada gugu Ja
Happy drumming! 🤘
What’s that large cymbal called (the one that’s 3 in from the left)?
Hey! So that’s a “ride cymbal” if it’s the one I think you’re talking about. It’s a 21” Sabian HHX groove ride! :)
Melhor que o Frank 👍
Pretty good cover but needs something...
MORE COWBELL!!!
LMAO! I'll re-do it with a full kit of cowbells!
Please help! Can you say, what is this on 0:54 ? That black thing, near to the snare and hi hat
Help is on the way! That's a Big Cowbell! 9" to be specific
@@MartinBellamyMBDrums oh, thank you very much! I really loved how it sounds 😄
@@MartinBellamyMBDrums I didn't even know about cowbell instrument
That bell sound is perfect. Goddamn Adler has a groove that very few other rock drummers have, let alone his replacements in GNR. I don't care how technically gifted one is supposed to be, they all suck as far as early songs are concerned.
Hey thank you!! I tried to match his sound as close as possible for this one! Its a Sabian HHX Groove Ride, a little more washy, but still with a bell that cuts.
I fully agree with you, he didn't overplay anything. But instead brought a raw "Bare Bones" energy to the group. Sorum is great, but not the same swing and groove as Adler
@@MartinBellamyMBDrums Meh, Sorum sounded like a robot on the Illusions album. I'm sure it has to do with production to some extent, but still. Adler was 1/5 of the band but 40% of the sound IMHO. He gave us more cowbell before it even was a thing. Seeing him play Rocket Queen on that vid from Soultone cymbals is amazing. So effortless, so groovy, but mostly, so perfectly fitting for the song. You really did him justice man, and that's no small feat. I'll take a groovy drummer over a technical wizard any day of the week. That's why Purdie is on thousands of tracks.
@@hugolafhugolaf we are on the exact same page! I agree about Matt, solid solid drummer, but not the same feel as Adler. Just like you said. Also thank you again, I’m pumped you liked this one. I’ve got some more Appetite coming up soon
@@MartinBellamyMBDrums I just went to my kit and tried to play this very song... NOPE! Granted, V-Drums don't have the same dynamic range as regular drums, but I got some work to do. I sucked - hard!
Keep the Appetite songs coming. That album is the Last of the Mohicans in terms of analog production. It's in my Top 5, ever.
@@hugolafhugolaf oh man haha, dude you got this!! And if there’s stuff that isn’t clicking, just make it up! Jamming it out is just as fun! Haha
This is the latest one that I did, Mr.Brownstone 🤘 th-cam.com/video/xUyuTi6-t7w/w-d-xo.html
Fodasticooo.. like
Thank you so much!! 🤘🤘
Man I practise with gnr drumming all the time and I can tell you that solid as fuck. Serious attack in those drums. Great job man. I want to upload a video too but after I get the mics how do i do this. Obviously I need mics and a camera but how do you get the song to play in the background and have it all come together??
GNR is sooo good for learning feel and power behind the kit. Steven Adler is such a fun drummer to listen to and watch. Tons of simple and effective beats! And thank you! It probably came from years of trying to keep up with Marshal half stacks lol!
Also, once you have mics, you need an interface which plugs into a computer or laptop. I use presonus, but there's plenty other good options out there.
Them you'll need a recording software. I used garage band for this specific track. But mainly use Logic now. There are so many out there, just choose what one you like best. Tons of great free software.
THEN, simply put the mp3 audio file into the recording session, count it in and you're good to go! Don't forget to hit record lol
Let me know if you have any other questions. Would it be helpful if I did a video on how to do all this?
@@MartinBellamyMBDrums ya man adler was the best drummer for that band. Sorum was better technically but adler had that fucking groove. As ginger Baker said "it's not how fast you play, its what you say"
And ya man if you could that would be great. Iv just started to get really into the drums again and would like to do some recordings like what you have. That would be unreal if you could do that, you might dedicate to Ed from Ireland haha that would be awesome.
I can't find a video on TH-cam that shows you exactly how to do it or exactly what you need to do it
@@jericho9653 sounds good! I'll work on it within the next months or so!
And sounds good Ed! If you have any questions, hit me up on Instagram (the link should be in the description of the video) I'll answer some more specific stuff for you!
@@MartinBellamyMBDrums I don't do social media so il keep an eye out for it here. Cheers man. Thank alot
1 DISLIKE ?
Lol! Yeah, it's always one of those moments where you say to yourself :') it's okay... people can have their opinions Haha
But hey! I appreciate the comment! And thanks for checking this one out! I have more appetite recorded and on the way, I think 80% of the album, so it should be out within the next few months (I release new vids every Friday 😊🤘)
It doesn't look so easy...
Lmaoo, one could say it’s…. not so easy 😂
I love drumming to to this song it's so easy for me lol
Well, you certainly have Adler’s style and sound accomplished. I love it! However , nobody seems to have mentioned that the audio and video is out of sync here. You hit the bass & crash on 3:42, but the sound doesn’t begin until 3:41. Seems a little weird watching it with a delay.
Hey thanks for the comment! Maybe check your connection? I make sure everything lines up pretty bang on for my videos :S
Either way! I appreciate you checking it out! 🤘🤘
