Thank you for doing actual drum covers, not remixes labeled as covers. I really appreciate the work you do. When you do a song I like, and it's got a groove that's really throwing me off, it's nice to be able to see exactly how the groove goes instead of something over-embellished, or something that's just strayed too far away from the original beat.
I completely agree. I personally don't like drum covers that don't follow the original at all, I always like to see how it's played originally. When I'm making drum covers I always make sure to stick to the original as much as possible 😁
His performance looks like it's the original drums sounds in the song itself. Man this video was few years ago but still giving me goosebumps everytime I listened to it.
I'm enjoying your drum covers man, but what I REALLY appreciate is the extra clarity in the tracks you're using. I'm just now hearing other subtle horn lines and string/woodwind runs that I haven't heard before! Keep up the great work bro!
How sweet it is ! I so love that little disco fill right at "And when you feel that beat ..." But the whole thing is funky as hell and a pleasure to watch !
A lot of people don’t understand that opening lick is more complicated than it sounds. I’m not saying it’s a 10 out of 10 complicated but it’s definitely more complicated than it sounds. Awesome job
You’re doing it the was that John “JR” Robinson American drummer and session musician recorded it. You’re one of the few who are doing it the correct way.

firkinjackanapes technically covers are for the exact purpose you stated, so they can add there own style and flare but I get were your coming from
What can yall play?????
Love and appreciate you keeping the originality of a classic.
FINALLY! somebody who doesn't rush the beat.
Great job dude
Left hand snare...right hand high hat...left foot high hat...right foot kick drum...all while chewing gum...TALENT!

I love how the kick triggers the camera to shake! makes it more alive!
Best MJ ... such a tight jam. Verse, Chorus, Verse Chorus, bridge out chorus ... seamless ...
Faultless cover. Great feel, lovely hi hat dynamics, no unnecessary gospel chops. Kit sounds just right for the song too. Respect!
0:30 i love how he raises his eyebrows when the hihat opens
So simplistic but yet so effective. This cover rocks and made even better by your obvious love for the song!
I just saw the video of the guy who actually did the drums on this song, and he was speaking about how the beginning occurred. Love this song!
This is the only one I've seen so far that actually sounds exactly like the track.

@Aujah O. Carter It's the original multitrack sessions.
My ears tell me that isn't the original version but I too heard new instrumentals in there as well.
Not overlayed, clean!

Your drums have a great tone! This is really a great song to show your strong suits! Very nice!

Compared a bunch -- yours is the cleanest and most authentic cover of this great jam. Now I got to give it a try...
i love this song, you are the number one! i really like your performance.
3:18 I love how he does the same hi hat thing JR did on the record in that moment!
Well done Mr. Swiney, your drumming is squeaky clean and holds such a strong tempo, which I often find more difficult
Perfect!
