I’m 75 and for me this is the greatest song EVER written. I’ve heard it probably 1000 times, but it never fails to bring a tear to the eye. I first heard it when it was first released in the late 1970’s. I bawled my eyes out as it affected me so much emotionally. It was a good thing I was on my own at the time as it would have been rather embarrassing.
As anyone learning the drums we have probably watched countless drum videos on youtube. Every now and then you come accross someone who can inspire you to keep practicing not only because they are a good musican and play well, but have really connected to the music they are covering just as we all want too. Thanks man
Hi Ewan. Well it probably goes without saying that this is my favourite Pink Floyd song of all time and in your cover you kept such tight control and I have to imagine that it must feel hard to rein it in particularly during the last solo, the outro. My god you held on so well! I caught a fleeing glimpse..... Ewan of your entire mastery of your drum kit and all things Pink Floyd! Loved this totally!!!
Hey Don, sorry for the late reply. By the amount of likes your comment got shows how nice it was! Thank you as always for leaving such encouraging and supportive comments. I think you'll like my Dobbie Hall videos, particularly the last one ;-)
Nice to hear from you ewan, I'll check out those Dobbie Hall videos. I have to imagine they will be exceptional as is your usual standard! I wish you continued success!!
I love how i could see you really anticipating that lovely legend of a solo at the end. I’m a drummer myself too, and whenever I play to this song, I can’t help but just play every note (as much as possible) with my kit, mimicking Gilmour’s guitar
May God bless everyone in the universe with no exceptions!!!!....…..❤...…….I adore you Jesus Christ and thank you for all your blessings!!!..... Amen.... Happy 4th let's celebrate!🎉❤ 🥳
this is amazing, my favorite band is Pink Floyd and comfortably numb is my favorite song, i'm more or less a beginner at drumming and i would love to play this song someday.
My father played this when i was a child im now 43 yrs old and my dad passed away last year just a few weeks after my 41st birthday this song is the song i plan on learning to play on the drum set that i am right now purchasing. I hope i can do it justice like you have in this video. I really want to be able to play this song and many others that my father used to lesson to when i was a child. thank you for playing this song Ewan
Hey guys! Hope you enjoy this drum cover. I recently filmed a few more full covers at The Dobbie Hall which went really well. I also uploaded my very first original demo to my other channel which you can find here: th-cam.com/video/qxP_ubmoFDs/w-d-xo.html ...I would really appreciate feedback :-) Thanks!
Since English is not my first language, I really don't know how to express what I felt listen to your cover... It is brilliant, clean, objective (without "firulas", as we say in Portuguese) and wonderful as the original drums! Congratulations from Brazil!
This is the one we've been waiting for! The drums seem very easy on this song, but they are so classy and they must be played at a very consistent tempo.. One wrong move and the whole mood is ruined. You MASTERED this one man. Congrats to you, and I can't wait to see more.. Preferably, Astronomy Domine, but don't feel rushed.
Damn young blood. I'm an old school drummer and I loved the passion and precision u played with. Your ride and crash were crisp and solid. Way to go man. Keep it up 👍
Niiiice! This ones all about "leaving spaces" and allowing the music to breathe. Such a fun one to play as a drummer, and of course you did a beautiful job with this as always Ewan. EDIT... oooh, that Paiste swiss crash sounds great at the end. Almost like Nick's China! Do my eyes deceive me or is it a bit out of shape?
Hi Ewan. Congrats for your excellent playing. Tbh, this is my fav pink Floyd song, and you nailed it. I would like to know if I can get the isolated track of the drums you played. It would be great, thank you.
I have a friend, he have one eye all his life, and he's good drummer! You don't need to see, you must hear - his teacher in special School said. I totally agree! Thank you!
I adore you Jesus Christ and thank you for all your blessings!!!..……❤....... May God bless everyone in the universe with no exceptions!!!...… Amen.,.. Happy 4th of July to each and everyone who is out there..,. Let's celebrate 🥳
Great cover Ewan, do the acoustic panels make much of a difference to the sound? Thinking about getting some, not really sure whether they are worth it.
Hey Jim, they make a subtle difference, nothing big. We only have them on one wall. They just dampen the sound and take away some of the natural reverb :) I'd say they're definitely worth it considering we only paid abut £40 for all of them.
Hello? (Hello? Hello? Hello?) Is there anybody in there? Just nod if you can hear me Is there anyone home? Come on now I hear you're feeling down Well I can ease your pain Get you on your feet again Relax I'll need some information first Just the basic facts Can you show me where it hurts? There is no pain you are receding A distant ship smoke on the horizon You are only coming through in waves Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying When I was a child I had a fever My hands felt just like two balloons Now I've got that feeling once again I can't explain you would not understand This is not how I am I have become comfortably numb I have become comfortably numb Okay (okay, okay, okay) Just a little pinprick There'll be no more, ah But you may feel a little sick Can you stand up? I do believe it's working, good That'll keep you going through the show Come on it's time to go There is no pain you are receding A distant ship, smoke on the horizon You are only coming through in waves Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying When I was a child I caught a fleeting glimpse Out of the corner of my eye I turned to look but it was gone I cannot put my finger on it now The child is grown The dream is gone I have become comfortably numb

It really is an absolute masterpiece

Comfortably done. Excellent job.

Finally! This was a pretty faithful cover.
May God bless everyone in the universe with no exceptions!!!!....…..❤...…….I adore you Jesus Christ and thank you for all your blessings!!!..... Amen.... Happy 4th let's celebrate!🎉❤ 🥳
A drummer who can vocal and play at the same time is another level..Carry on brother
Lower the ride cymbal..it will save you rotater cup sergury 30 yrs from today.
This is a beautifull drum cover for the best song with a ending solo inthe history, you are great bro!!
Your drumming makes me comfortable, Ewan
this is amazing, my favorite band is Pink Floyd and comfortably numb is my favorite song, i'm more or less a beginner at drumming and i would love to play this song someday.
Why do I get a dire straits vibe when listening to this masterpiece??. No honestly, excellent drum cover, man! You rock!
Bro I have so much respect and admiration for you. Your passion for Floyd actually makes me emotional.
Spot on! Every fill, very Mason like!
My father played this when i was a child im now 43 yrs old and my dad passed away last year just a few weeks after my 41st birthday this song is the song i plan on learning to play on the drum set that i am right now purchasing.

This song motivates me to never give up on life.

You got the "dhu, do, do DOH", nailed it
You are unbelievable :) When your video appears, it's probably like a new Pink Floyd album is released. Thanks for sharing these recordings!
Enjoying your Pink floyd covers, you’re making all perfectly!
Finally! U r the best drummer ever!
Congratulations Ewan. I play bass in a Pink Floyd's tribute band and I always advise the drums man to see your videos. Great job
Played along with this video on my bass. You are amazing my friend.
Congratulations guy. The best song of PF.
This is the one we've been waiting for! The drums seem very easy on this song, but they are so classy and they must be played at a very consistent tempo.. One wrong move and the whole mood is ruined.

One of my Pink Floyd favorites. Well done!
Hello Ewan! Watching yourself as you are drumming is a real experience. I personally prefer this version of Live 8 concert in 2005.
You have the same T shirt that Nick Mason wore in Pompeii concert plus you're drumming very well!
You make this look so effortless. Good job mate. Cheers.
Love the song.. you did a great job here!
DREAMY snare. nice job as always
Wow.Don,t get much better than that Ewan.Beautiful song played majestically.Bravo .Keep on rockin my friend.😊

Hi Ewan. Congrats for your excellent playing. Tbh, this is my fav pink Floyd song, and you nailed it.
I would like to know if I can get the isolated track of the drums you played. It would be great, thank you.
Solo is the best part of this video.
Mais uma vez parabéns!
Congratulations 🎊
Nick would be proud...Good Job
I have a friend, he have one eye all his life, and he's good drummer! You don't need to see, you must hear - his teacher in special School said. I totally agree! Thank you!
Wow... This is amazing
Excellent job as always!!
This is helpful for me for doing the bassline
Sick shit man... Cheers! Keep up the great work!
At 0:47 you tried an attack and missed, that's part of it. Sometimes I miss too. However, it came out really well. You're a good drummer!👋👋👋👋👋👋
fantastic cover!
Relaxed and wondeful - Ewan at his best! Do you play to an additional click or just the Playback as guideline?
I adore you Jesus Christ and thank you for all your blessings!!!..……❤....... May God bless everyone in the universe with no exceptions!!!...… Amen.,.. Happy 4th of July to each and everyone who is out there..,. Let's celebrate 🥳
Blessing to you as well. Good that you adore Jesus Christ. I adore Him as well. He gives us His strength to go on.
Are you using one of your crashes as a ride in the chorus? That's pretty cool.
Perfect song, good play.
Well done man!
Me encanta Pink Floyd❤😊
This guy kinda looks like Owen Shroyer! Great drumming! :D
Excellent. Thank you.

Bravissimo Grande Pezzo
Great cover Ewan, do the acoustic panels make much of a difference to the sound? Thinking about getting some, not really sure whether they are worth it.

Brilliant my good sir!
Hello? (Hello? Hello? Hello?)
Is there anybody in there?
Just nod if you can hear me
Is there anyone home?
Come on now
I hear you're feeling down
Well I can ease your pain
Get you on your feet again
Relax
I'll need some information first
Just the basic facts
Can you show me where it hurts?
There is no pain you are receding
A distant ship smoke on the horizon
You are only coming through in waves
Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying
When I was a child I had a fever
My hands felt just like two balloons
Now I've got that feeling once again
I can't explain you would not understand
This is not how I am
I have become comfortably numb
I have become comfortably numb
Okay (okay, okay, okay)
Just a little pinprick
There'll be no more, ah
But you may feel a little sick
Can you stand up?
I do believe it's working, good
That'll keep you going through the show
Come on it's time to go
There is no pain you are receding
A distant ship, smoke on the horizon
You are only coming through in waves
Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying
When I was a child
I caught a fleeting glimpse
Out of the corner of my eye
I turned to look but it was gone
I cannot put my finger on it now
The child is grown
The dream is gone
I have become comfortably numb
What ride is that? Paiste pst8...
Perfect, thanks
