As a drummer myself i'm thinking most fans have no clue how strenuous and complex your drumming really is. their just enjoying the groove but don't realize how talented you really are! well done impressive drumming!
As not a drummer myself, I assume you are right. I mean, I've listened to enough drumming to recognize talent when I hear (and see) it, but I'm pretty sure I can't fully appreciate the full difficulty and complexity. To me, just being able to play drums at even a basic level seems hard enough. Everything above that is just different levels of magic. ;)
The best guys make the "simple" stuff art. It took me years to figure out how to really sell a basic backbeat well even though the mechanics of it aren't that hard. Moore is one of the best.
From someone who played for nearly 20 years I completely grasp the complexity and ease with which he implements it. This stuff isn't easy, but he makes it look like buttering bread.
Some drummers over play songs. He was incredible at not only putting his spin on the song but just absolute control and flow. Very inspiring. I'm going to play my drums right now 😆
MAD POCKETS!!! (while I'm over here thinking he missed about 4-5 cymbal crashes just now, what's happening?!? LOL Staying Pocket like this is so BEAST though!)
So bored of metric modulation and have had so much fun jamming to this track, was so good to see the master play it. Awesome work as ever but this was extra high quality.
Be interested in examples of hit pop songs with variating 16 and 32nd note hi-hat patterns. I can't think of any. The original pattern does not variate and may not even be from a hi-hat. More likely it was sequenced.
Such precision without showing off. There are plenty of fills but they never take away from the feel of the song just to show that a lick can be done. You don’t have to play what was on the record just something that compliments the song. You do that so well. When musicians try to play exactly the record or exactly the sheet music it take a feeling out of the song. When someone plays what they feel then the music comes out with a feeling that the audience can feel. This is why good live performances leave the audience wanting more. Great job.
Real music is not mechanical. There is a space in the air between the notes/beats that is where the magic resides. Like you let yourself go, but stick the landing......
No one has mentioned how spectacular the mix is - those drums really sound amazing, deep and full of attack. Love the sizzle on the hihats during the recording. Well done Mr Moore!!
Just found you Eric. Wow!!!! Watched a couple of your earlier videos performing live and watched every performance in full. This work coving Tears for Fears..... (PRICELESS). I was stationed at RAF FAIRFORD ENGLAND when they first released and preformed this song. Powerful message and a joy to watch and hear you cover it Your (I call it) HIGH HAT MAGIC IS 👍. Thanks for sharing.
I love the quarters on the bass. It's something that I do often. It really fattened up the groove at the right time. Wonderfully nuanced and the fills were tasty. Nicely done!!!! Really spiced up the song without getting too flashy. Pocket drummer for sure.
I am a drummer from France, I’ve just tried this pattern thinking I would like to play it…Ok, I may play it in another life 🥵😅 I’m keen on listening and watching Mr Eric Moore. Drum, breathtaking and outstanding instrument, due to drummers like you Eric..!!! ✊😃💥
ERIC THE ONLY THING I CAN SAY IS AMAZING JUST FUCKING MIND BLOWING THE TIMING AND PRECISION YOU DISPLAYED IN THAT SECOND CUT JUST THREW ME OFF MY CHAIR ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU PLAYED YOUR TOMS JUST FILLING THE WHOLE RHYTHM AND CADENCE, ADDING TO THE TOTAL COMPLEXITY OF THE PIECE. SO AGAIN SIR BRAVO.
WOOOOWWWW. I heard this song since I was 17 and listened to it for 35 years, a million times. BUT, hearing Eric's version, I went to the MOON. I'am LOST!!!! This song is one of my "personal musical anthems" , but hearing the sound of those toms, woowwww
As a fellow drummer, you killed both renditions. This is one of my favorite sing-a-long songs as well. You took that joint to church on the 2nd rendition by adding some flava on those accents.. Touché.
Yo. I had to stop at 1:18. You just changed my life. I don't normally watch your videos but for some reason I opened TH-cam, saw your video, and just clicked it. "Stop taking life for granted" you said. Thank you man. Yeah and then you killed that shit 🔥
I have been listening to tears for fears a couple of months last year... "everybody wants to rule the world" makes me nostalgic. Yo Eric! You just made my day... God bless you!
Second version those tom fills!! He ALWAYS gets back to the snare to keep the pocket groove going! And endless finesse fills - never the same! This is like a guitar player playing lead, rhythm, base and singing... the ENTIRE song! Mucho respect for sharing your talents with us!
I love this song, I love the sound of your drum kit, and I love how you groove no matter if you play it straight or with more flavor. I REALLY enjoyed the 2nd version! It was amazing how you made it sound better by adding stuff. That is not easily done. I could still feel the groove amidst the fills. Those are the best fills! You stayed in the pocket the whole time, no matter what you did. I loved it!
I'm no drummer but I loved the second version. As someone who grew up in the 70s and 80s I know this song inside out. But the drumming took it to another level! Awesome. It makes me want to learn to drum. I never knew you could change the sound of a track so much this way. Love it.
Eric, I like what you’re doing with the hats at the beginning of your version. Real nice. Also, I love how at the 8:52 mark you lay in on the top hat and hold it there for a moment. Just great! And you had fun which is the MOST IMPORTANT thing.
Great person and speaks from the heart. Loved both renditions but that quick hi-hat flick on the second version is something I can only dream of doing.
That's where you see play simple & straight is real hard difficult. For me the 2nd is the one because the groove is alive and still go forward. Even for a monster drummer like Eric Moore, he seems a little bit stucked in the first one.
Pasties are so unique. I like loading a couple of Sabians into the mix acting as a pad, the Paisties really pop against that. Zildjans covers the spectrum.
As a kid I used to watch Dennis Miller Live every weekend, and this was the intro song. My father has played drums for nearly 60 years (late 60s Slingerland double bass kit) and he would always "doll up" songs when I asked him to play them. Thanks for bringing 2 of my favorite childhood memories together. Peace.
These 33 people I see with the dislikes are so bunch of haters and don't know nothing bout drums or knows how to play drums I mean how can you dislike this Eric Moore is the most best drummers out right now in the world, hes the baddest drummer on the planet and he's One of my favorite drummers , I love his playing and he always keeps the pocket even when he doing all his skillful fills on the drums tbh he's the reason I'm a good drummer right now cuz of his playing, I'm a drummer myself, I love this man, keep it up bro 💯💯💯💯💯
Like a well oiled clock! Lots of talent sitting behind that beautiful kit! Those Toms, are you kidding me! Very impressive! As a drummer this is simply candy for my ears, can’t get enough!

I don't drum and understand very well the complications of the movements... especially in sync with everything! The dude is very gifted!

he feels this groove inside and out, what he is doing is not hard to him at all.

I agree
His hi-hat work is phenomenal, one of my absolute favourite drummers 🏴🔥🔥OUTSTANDING 🔥🔥🔥
Míralo a Stewart Copeland
If he goes any deeper into pockets, he will he arrested for shoplifting.
xD
Pickpocketing, probably.
Excellence, with ease
MAD POCKETS!!!
(while I'm over here thinking he missed about 4-5 cymbal crashes just now, what's happening?!? LOL Staying Pocket like this is so BEAST though!)
Hell of a comment!
So bored of metric modulation and have had so much fun jamming to this track, was so good to see the master play it. Awesome work as ever but this was extra high quality.
Thank you. Finally someone WHO DIDN'T STEP ALL OVER THIS GREAT TUNE.
I've heard some bad takes on this tune, but not only did he do it justice, he improved it.
Brian Justin Crum did this song on America's got talent . One of the greatest covers I've seen. Check it out

I love the fact that the second take didn’t take away anything from the groove of the song.
totally agree!!!
it did a little to me but most of it was not drowning out original layer of song and other musicians /siniger
@@TheRebuilt1 Please clarify
Yes absolutely.

Love when a drummer knows when to toss those quarters in... Drives the song right at the right time.
@@storm14k play for the song and not yourself. Same with tuning. 20 foot rule.
anyone giving this a thumbs down has no idea what talent is......
You're right
Bro you are so right. I have been playing drums for 15 years and he still impresses me
He the goat🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐
God forbid someone doesn't like something that you do. I guess people aren't allowed to dislike anything anymore!

Love your humbleness and Passion 🙏🏾 God bless you!
Man those hats have such a crisp definitive ching evevety stroke! Man I love the sound of em!!
When he hit the toms for the first time on the second go around, I nearly fainted.
all hair goes up hehe
YO !!!! Me too. Took my breath away
I nearly farted
Tingling !!
🤣
Here before the masses...happy 2021 everyone. Stay prayed up and keep it in the pocket.
WOOOOWWWW. I heard this song since I was 17 and listened to it for 35 years, a million times. BUT, hearing Eric's version, I went to the MOON. I'am LOST!!!! This song is one of my "personal musical anthems" , but hearing the sound of those toms, woowwww

The second go round has a better fill in the spot without losing the rhythm.♥️♥️♥️♥️
6:32 , if you a drummer you know the feeling in tht facial expression 😂👌💯
Lol I'd be chewing on that fill too -- jesus that was tasteful 🤘🏻🤣🤘🏻
Ooohhhhh yessss u know that strain damn I love it.
Man I really love those hi-hat chops, especially when you throw in the splash notes. Great job!
You played your butt off Bro on BOTH takes !!! Thanks for giving us guys inspiration to take our Drumming to the next level 🙏🏾‼️
It’s amazing how full of fills yet tasteful it is
His right arm is so fluid it looks like it turns to water when he works the hi hat. TOP LEVEL
Yo. I had to stop at 1:18. You just changed my life. I don't normally watch your videos but for some reason I opened TH-cam, saw your video, and just clicked it. "Stop taking life for granted" you said. Thank you man. Yeah and then you killed that shit 🔥
Triplets on the kick near the end of the second take was dope.
Eric, the fact that you added your style to this and made the song sound so refreshing is incredible. Thank you for this!
The groove is strong with this one
Probably one of the best drum covers ive heard of this one.
I have been listening to tears for fears a couple of months last year... "everybody wants to rule the world" makes me nostalgic. Yo Eric! You just made my day... God bless you!
Been a fan of this guy since the Gospel Chops days. He never disappoints 👌
Wow, wow!!!
You're just a reincarnation of the drummers ' progress through time.Thanks.Your videos are inspiring.
Second version those tom fills!! He ALWAYS gets back to the snare to keep the pocket groove going! And endless finesse fills - never the same! This is like a guitar player playing lead, rhythm, base and singing... the ENTIRE song! Mucho respect for sharing your talents with us!
He plays drums like Fred Astaire danced and like John McEnroe played tennis. It is as someone said, breathtaking.
Extraordinary talent and a gem of a person. Bless his soul
First version is great for a record. I would prefer the second version live.
Yessssssss
first version is not exactly whats going on , on the record version
It’s literally how they play it live. Don’t be fooled.
Definitely agree! That was awsome!
i'd like the 2nd one for the song.
That was Dope. Right Drums, Right Heads, Right Tune, Right Cymbals & Right Drummer. Magic
Dude youve been so inspiring to me the past year. Thank you brother.
Outrageous. Feel like chucking my kit down the dump. Absolute class.
I love this song, I love the sound of your drum kit, and I love how you groove no matter if you play it straight or with more flavor. I REALLY enjoyed the 2nd version! It was amazing how you made it sound better by adding stuff. That is not easily done. I could still feel the groove amidst the fills. Those are the best fills! You stayed in the pocket the whole time, no matter what you did. I loved it!
Came here to watch you jam to a difficult groove and then got instantly humbled at the beginning. I love it! 2021 let's go.
As an 80's kid I heard and loved this song a thousand times, loved the E Moore version tho!
We all blessed baby. I know this. Thanks for the reminder Eric.
Super sweet, never heard of this guy before but damn... tight and confident. Reminds me of Mel Gaynor in his prime.
Mannnnn........just great palying Eric...god bless u man
Your second pass at this song is the correct way the drum part to this song should have been played. Well done!
You are amazing !! Bit of a down day but you lifted it , Thankyou ! 😊☝️️
When a drummer re-writes the song, it's always better!
As ever, it depends on the drummer david XD
Brother is an extremely disciplined drummer.🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
I'm no drummer but I loved the second version. As someone who grew up in the 70s and 80s I know this song inside out. But the drumming took it to another level! Awesome. It makes me want to learn to drum. I never knew you could change the sound of a track so much this way. Love it.
Really opens this song up to a wider spectrum!!!!!!! Amen!

Inspirational. God bless you brother
i like how he said now imma play it with a little eric more . meaning he's about to kill the damn song lmao
Love the improvisations on the 2nd time..Excellent fills makes it much better 👌
You my favorite drummer bro 🔥💯
Both versions were great......this guy is🔥🔥...my favorite drummer...I'm a fan because he is so humble
Blessings get you no where. Believing in Christ who died for your sins does.
lol good one xD
@Back Handed Compliments...but you still wouldn’t listen so God had one more and sent Mohammed (pbuh) and still you listen not
What a splendid drummer you are !!!
Thank you for playing .
2nd version is absolutely perfect for a live version of the song. the pocket is LOCKED IN
Great message. Great performance. Harder than it seems
I am blessed by The Lord Jesus Christ, The only name given unto men wherby we must be saved.
zzzz
Loving hihat work ! Exellent ! Happy new year ! Bless !
Blessed indeed🙏 second one, by a mile. Incredible talent, a wonderful man. Much respect
THE FACT THAT THE POCKET NEVER LEFT IS BEASTTTTT!!!
Pocket was extra beast. And clean
To have the ability to inject so many tasty fills and land back on the one is amazing. He's a real pro.
Feel the vibes, the vibrations, energy. Call it what you want, this guy is in tune with the universe. Makes me forget everything and live the moment.
Man the tuning is out of the world
Great person and speaks from the heart. Loved both renditions but that quick hi-hat flick on the second version is something I can only dream of doing.
I'm like "I'm going to play the drums right now. Let me get some quick ideas." I watched this video and was like "I'll play tomorrow."
I know exactly how you feel, but for myself, I might have to wait a few more days…
Sir you are truly a time keeper.
Damn. That might be the best sounding kit I’ve ever heard. Those toms are insane.
He should play Noble&Cooley drums! Best ever drums!
very, very nice 2nd take... I appreciate the love you gave this classic tune!
That's where you see play simple & straight is real hard difficult. For me the 2nd is the one because the groove is alive and still go forward. Even for a monster drummer like Eric Moore, he seems a little bit stucked in the first one.
Just awesome. Always pocket no matter how much you play with it. 🙏🙏🙏. Inspiring.
“They had us in the first half, I’m not gonna lie”
Excellent timing, One of my favorite songs! Jam that! 🕺Go head!
This straight fire 🔥🔥🔥
Ah yeah.. Rockn A club sure banger from the day.. Great job Drum king-Thanks like wise.. God bless
6:00 is what you came for unless you're here for pocket
Thank you
What’s wrong with having both at the same time ? 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
What a pocket though
@@stuartcarswell2815 pocket deeper then a stitched up trouser leg
@@hectorsanaifric343 😂👌
Eric Moore...wow ty. My song for a roadtrip.
I just want to fold myself in half and live in his bass drum
Soooo right. Everything. Your words and your drum stile.
THANK YOU BRO ✌
Those toms are creamy brother. Awesome tuning, miking and mixing. Tasteful playing as well.
I haven't used real toms in about 16 years, I have a snare, a bass drum, cymbals and I use an Alesis sample pad Pro as my Toms
Those toms sound great in those fills and chops and the great hi-hat playing is awesome
Man, do those Paistes sound gorgeous!
Pasties are so unique. I like loading a couple of Sabians into the mix acting as a pad, the Paisties really pop against that. Zildjans covers the spectrum.
God given talent..the beat of life.God Bless you Eric.Peace from Auckland,New Zealand. 😊👍
I prefer the first version.

Where are you getting "no drums" tracks for hits like this? How are you not getting penalized by TH-cam for doing covers like this?
If you search the song and put “no drums” or “drumless” at the end a lot of times it will pull up

That’s snare sounds great
Second version is better
Like a well oiled clock! Lots of talent sitting behind that beautiful kit! Those Toms, are you kidding me! Very impressive! As a drummer this is simply candy for my ears, can’t get enough!
Tá faltando bumbo aí nessa música!
You are just awesome Eric. Your version is way better. So tight and clean. God bless. I wish I could drum like you.
Beautiful Drumming. Love the sound of those drums so much. So punchy!! Thank you for this Video!
Wow. Eric controls the pocket really well. Every beat is on time. A true professional. Salute.
this song is still relevant to this day..one of my favorite
Man, the last 2 minutes. For a brief moment I was back in ‘85 with the people I love and miss so much.
I pick the 'Eric Moore' version anytime. it rocks! 🙏
