Tbf it's pretty fucking hard, especially if you like to play with power (which I do), and even if you don't, it's still pretty hard. But not impossible. And that's what makes it so fun
He just dropped something today that was pretty dope (only one song, but it's on his TH-cam) - don't think I'd personally call it breakcore. But yeah, while I dug some of the other tracks people recommended like Burn This Moment..., O'er the Flood just spoke to me.
@@karlfagerstrom ikr, dude just imagine if Goreshit and Max Richter doing an actual collab, fuck that would be so rad. Tiny desk ft. Goreshit & Max Richter
I watch a lot of drumming videos right, and this was undoubtedly the most incredible thing I've ever seen. I'm also never touching a kit again out of respect
@@karlfagerstrom ofc brotha!! trust me i know the feelin. 2 questions for you: 1: i move around a lot but would love to get into drumming, do you have any tips? and 2: i would still love to see a looming shadow of a tree long gone by goreshit, any updates on that? hehehe lol im messin with you, unless..........
@@eriksahlgren5868 Fuggg dude, that's tough trying to drum regularly when moving a lot! Even doing it stationary in a super gentrified city is tough. I'd definitely look into (temporary) shared practice spaces, or other hookups through friends, if possible. And 2. - I just in general haven't had time to make videos, except when something makes me obsessed. BUT, I always have an eye on the super-challenging ones, *especially* "Looming Shadow," just 'cuz they make you better in the process; it makes me feel like I'm leveling up in a video game (but for drums), which is hard to still do, sometimes.
I'm not much of a Kanye fan, but I'd disagree because he's done *so* much (I *do* like College Dropout, too). But thank you nonetheless 🙏 ...although learning this song definitely took way more effort than Kanye put into "poopity scoop" hahahah
After hearing this, I can't help but be in awe of your skill and wonder what your version of The Pain of Relief (We Have Your Vices One and All) would even sound like
Dudeeee a cover of burn this moment into the retina of my eye would be 👌 but this one right here still has me and my brother just mind blown. Crazy man
Thank you to you and your brother! I've gotten more than a handful of requests for Burn This Moment... and I would be very down but my goodness it'd take some practice! (It feels like the type of track that you should stay fairly faithful to instead of improvise over, which I do a lot, but regardless it's also *so* fast!). But I'll be honest, it also sounds like an awesome challenge that I'm starting to get obsessed with, so who knows, I might try it.
@@karlfagerstrom dude i would be so impressed if you can play those 216 bpm burst and i agree! I imagine the stamina needed to actually play it rather than improvise on it would be insane (see i came from osu lmao but i also play a little bit of drums) so ik the rhythm is really complicated and the fact its so fast too, but you did do o'er the flood i believe in you man!
I've gotten that request a few times. I like the challenge of all the glitchy beats at ~217 bpm, and it would take a ton of practice, which I don't mind. But it'd likely be copyright claimed like this vid was, which makes me not want to spend that much effort :/ I was pretty bummed when that happened here, since drum covers are by definition transformative and therefore fair use, but oh well, there's really not much you can do about it 🤷
@@karlfagerstrom Oh that's so unfortunate. What about without backing music? I know it will probably sound just like rhythm noise, but it would still really cool imo.
Yeah, I've seen those and they're a bit awkward. Here's one an IRL drummer friend of mine did for a song that I love, and he killed it, but it's still kinda goofy without the music lol: th-cam.com/video/U5uiz_plxBU/w-d-xo.html One of the things that gets talked about with fair use is "market replacement," ie does your content *replace* the appeal of the original work (in other words, if people like what you do, are they *less* likely to consume the original content you're using). Which is super valid - on one hand, you've got commentators whose content is generally meant to dunk on or at least have an in-depth discussion on the source material being used; their audience would never have sought out the original stuff without the commentators' input, and it's obviously fair use. It's like the TH-cam version of The Daily Show using clips of Fox News to mock them, or vice versa - either way, there's clearly no 'market replacement' happening. But on the other hand, you've got streamers on Twitch who stream themselves sleeping while their computer plays Lord of the Rings in the background, which their viewers can then watch for free. And that's blatant infringement. Even though drum covers are transformative, it's kind of a gray area, because I've gotten that 'market replacement' comment a few times (in other words, *some* people have told me they now watch my videos *instead* of listening to the original tracks). So I could see a fair compromise being the small amount of TH-cam ad revenue getting split between the coverer and the original artist. But since the copyrights are held by labels that just use an algorithm to claim their music, and small channels like mine have no realistic recourse to dispute it (without risking losing their channel), we end up just giving up on stuff like that. Of course I don't make these silly videos for the money, but it'd be nice to get a little bit when some people seem to like what I do. It'd probably motivate me to upload more (hell, maybe then I could even buy a new cymbal or a few more mics haha) Also sorry that this comment ended up being a freaking novel, I have lots of thoughts on the subject lol
That makes me wanna put a bit more time into uploading, thank you 🙏 been busy with some irl responsibilities but I'll try to get back into the swing of TH-cam things
I really love how you played the outro 3, the song still feels a bit fast even until the end, but the you way play it makes it feel slower, I don't know if I explained it well, but I like it a lot, excellent work :3
Thank you! The secret to calming it down (in this instance) is going to "half-time" in Outro 2(ie the backbeat snare is half as often as it was earlier) , after just getting quieter and jazzier in Outro 1. Then I went to *quarter-time* in Outro 3 for a very chill feel (ie halve the frequency of the snare *again*). I didn't realize that's what I was doing at the time, but it flowed well. Normally my favorite part to play on one of these videos ends up being one of the shreddiest parts - but here, I very much preferred playing these calm Outros. I loved transitioning from the breakcore chaos into the half-time rock into the very ambient light touch at the end. I felt like I was very in tune with the song - and the song is objectively beautiful. So even though it's just a silly lofi drumming video, it felt *wonderful* to make, because I got to play that outro a dozen or so times in a row (although it was rough playing the rest of the song that many times hahaha).
@@karlfagerstrom Wow you're right, you really notice how you slow down as the song reaches its end, I agree with you with that light ambient touch at the end, it makes this song even more beautiful, anyway it's nice that there is someone like you being into breakcore doing these covers, it's something unique I think, finding just my favorite breakcore song transformed into this was great, another experience, I hope you continue doing what you do for a long time because you do it excellent!
Thank you - although it's not the speed that makes this track a killer, it's the duration 🥵 doing over 6 minutes of almost 200bpm for several takes got me wanting to throw up just a little bit
Incredible cover. This was amazing, really, you've done an incredible rendition of an already S tier song. GREAT JOB!! I'd love to see a "Burn this moment into the retina of my eye" cover. No pressure though
Thank you! I've thought about that one, and it's been requested a few times; it'd definitely take a *lot* of practice but would certainly be fun to do.
It's a niche audience and I record using only one mic for audio, and either a cheap GoPro or my laptop's janky FaceTime camera... plus my cymbals are super cracked, my practice spaces are extra messy, and I'm not exactly hot. I'm surprised I get *this* much recognition tbh (but thank you)
dude it is really so nice!! i watched a few video today and it was amazing to watch your drums! i will watch to other nights but i am wonder two thing, can i ask what highest tempo song in your channel and what video is your favorite you uploaded?
Thank you so much! And these are great questions! But both tough. I'm not sure what the highest BPM I've done on the channel is, and I'm not always that worried about the specific BPM number as a flex - I'm usually more concerned with artistically playing over stuff, building energy as the song builds, expressing myself, playing with power, etc. For instance, on this Goreshit one, I think the bpm is 186 - which is pretty fast but not insane, by any means - and I didn't go for a note-for-note exact cover, but I did want to play with power, express myself with some improvisation, and get the overall feel and most of the "hits" in it. I pride myself on the power aspect because it's pretty unique as far as drum'n'bass / breakcore is concerned (it seems like it's only done by drummers like myself that also have a heavy/punk background; most other drummers play it *very* lightly). And there's some slow songs I'm proud of in these respects, like my Death Grips "No Love" cover (plus slower BPMs = even more options for faster rhythms that you can put in it in fills, etc.). But I'm probably most proud of the harder Clowncore covers (like "Earth" and "Hell"), as I had to learn super syncopated rhythms note-for-note *exactly*, especially on the kick, and then I improvised a little on the free-er sections. Plus those songs weren't originally recorded to a click, thus making them even harder. But I guess the highest BPM I can think of for sure is the 233 BPM track I was messing with today (I shouldn't have been playing today at all, as I have a sprained wrist and broken ribs, but it felt good to dust off the chops after almost a week without playing). I'm about to start picking takes for a couple "short" covers I did of it with note-for-note accuracy for an added challenge that I don't always give myself (but I haven't even tried playing it all the way through note-for-note yet - I mostly just messed specifically with the three hard / fast break sections). In case you're curious, the track I'm talking about is Loli in Early 20s' "Ush Ush Desu Desu Pa Pa." Sorry for the essay-length comment, btw. Also I just realized from *your* comment that English might not be your first language (no hate at all - but this wall of text I just wrote might be hard for Google Translate, so I apologize again - you just had damn good questions, what can I say? 😊)
wow, ty for answers! i love too listening songs which can make me feel good pleasures but sometimes i want to listen some really really high bpm drum voices so dont think im care about bpm so much. i listened your covers, improvisations and i think you doin it great! i impatiently waiting your next videos. and yeah english isnt my native language but i can understand mostly in text i use translate apps mostly for words so i can understand what you say, it is little tiring but not a problem, not known english is my fault so if i tired you so sorry d: . i hope you'll get better soon, take care bud! \(^ ^ )/
I *absolutely* play it for fun. I usually play any of these songs for fun, even if I've already posted a video of me playing it. Often times I'll come up with new and different stuff after the fact.
I'm in love with your videos. I watch them whenever I have free time in school. It would be really sweet to see you do a cover of an Aphex Twin song. "Flim" would be beautiful, as would "4". Thank you so much for uploading.
Thank you so much for the kind words!...I *love* Aphex Twin, and should really cover something of his, although "Flim" already has some note-for-note perfect covers out there (including one by a blindfolded dude), and I don't know if I can add much of value to the conversation. Especially since The Bad Plus' David King also does a wonderful, improvised-but-largely-faithful version, too (which is what I like to do). But I'm always down to play AFX, and have gotten enough requests for it by now that I should definitely try something of his.
@@karlfagerstrom Very true, there's no shortage of Flim drum covers. Whichever song it may be, I do hope to see an Aphex Twin cover from you in the future. Thanks for taking the time to respond! PS: This is one of my favorite goreshit songs, along with silently. I really enjoyed your cover :)
That'd be a huge challenge, which as been suggested by others. If I can make the time to do it while also trying to keep my head above water IRL, I'm down.
how do you get your drums to "light up" or appear a certain color? I noticed there's a part of the set that's emitting green light, and I find the effect cool as fuck.
@@karlfagerstrom I'm about a year in and I feel like I'm understanding stuff decently quick, been playing polyphia by ear to try to get more complex stuff down, but there's also so much an alesis nitro can do for me 😆 keep it up man, this was one of my late game goal songs so it's sick to see it get accomplished by someone, motivating as hell
Absolutely amazing! I didn't think any of the goreshit songs were actually coverable. Here is another artist that i think you will love. th-cam.com/video/mCG4c0SZUQU/w-d-xo.html
Definitely, but do you have a specific spot in the vid you're thinking of? Edit: really though no matter which part you're talking about, it's probably gonna be a combination of Moeller and paradiddles/inverted paradiddles (pretty much all the clusters at their most basic level are just two notes in a row, but there are lots of small clusters all bunched very close together, if that makes sense)

Great song to wake up to with a half smoked cigar here on the west coast

I'm not sure what the highest BPM I've done on the channel is, and I'm not always that worried about the specific BPM number as a flex - I'm usually more concerned with artistically playing over stuff, building energy as the song builds, expressing myself, playing with power, etc. For instance, on this Goreshit one, I think the bpm is 186 - which is pretty fast but not insane, by any means - and I didn't go for a note-for-note exact cover, but I did want to play with power, express myself with some improvisation, and get the overall feel and most of the "hits" in it. I pride myself on the power aspect because it's pretty unique as far as drum'n'bass / breakcore is concerned (it seems like it's only done by drummers like myself that also have a heavy/punk background; most other drummers play it *very* lightly). And there's some slow songs I'm proud of in these respects, like my Death Grips "No Love" cover (plus slower BPMs = even more options for faster rhythms that you can put in it in fills, etc.). But I'm probably most proud of the harder Clowncore covers (like "Earth" and "Hell"), as I had to learn super syncopated rhythms note-for-note *exactly*, especially on the kick, and then I improvised a little on the free-er sections. Plus those songs weren't originally recorded to a click, thus making them even harder. But I guess the highest BPM I can think of for sure is the 233 BPM track I was messing with today (I shouldn't have been playing today at all, as I have a sprained wrist and broken ribs, but it felt good to dust off the chops after almost a week without playing). I'm about to start picking takes for a couple "short" covers I did of it with note-for-note accuracy for an added challenge that I don't always give myself (but I haven't even tried playing it all the way through note-for-note yet - I mostly just messed specifically with the three hard / fast break sections). In case you're curious, the track I'm talking about is Loli in Early 20s' "Ush Ush Desu Desu Pa Pa."
Sorry for the essay-length comment, btw. Also I just realized from *your* comment that English might not be your first language (no hate at all - but this wall of text I just wrote might be hard for Google Translate, so I apologize again - you just had damn good questions, what can I say? 😊)
wow, ty for answers! i love too listening songs which can make me feel good pleasures but sometimes i want to listen some really really high bpm drum voices so dont think im care about bpm so much. i listened your covers, improvisations and i think you doin it great! i impatiently waiting your next videos. and yeah english isnt my native language but i can understand mostly in text i use translate apps mostly for words so i can understand what you say, it is little tiring but not a problem, not known english is my fault so if i tired you so sorry d: . i hope you'll get better soon, take care bud! \(^ ^ )/
this is amazing
Thank you, that means a lot ❤ also, this *song* is amazing, right?
the song slaps ofc but your cover goes above and beyond
I love this
do you ever play this track for fun or is it too intense?
I *absolutely* play it for fun. I usually play any of these songs for fun, even if I've already posted a video of me playing it. Often times I'll come up with new and different stuff after the fact.
I'm in love with your videos. I watch them whenever I have free time in school.
It would be really sweet to see you do a cover of an Aphex Twin song. "Flim" would be beautiful, as would "4".
Thank you so much for uploading.
Thank you so much for the kind words!...I *love* Aphex Twin, and should really cover something of his, although "Flim" already has some note-for-note perfect covers out there (including one by a blindfolded dude), and I don't know if I can add much of value to the conversation. Especially since The Bad Plus' David King also does a wonderful, improvised-but-largely-faithful version, too (which is what I like to do). But I'm always down to play AFX, and have gotten enough requests for it by now that I should definitely try something of his.
@@karlfagerstrom Very true, there's no shortage of Flim drum covers. Whichever song it may be, I do hope to see an Aphex Twin cover from you in the future. Thanks for taking the time to respond!
PS: This is one of my favorite goreshit songs, along with silently. I really enjoyed your cover :)
very. fucking. amazing. no lie
Thank you 🙏 I was kinda feeling myself here
so tight
Thank you, it was a looooooooooong one to get through
would you ever post a version with just your drums playing? really love the cover dude your drumming is incredible
I think I still have it (isolated drums stem) in my Google drive if you want it
@@karlfagerstrom yes please if you got it id love a download
Did you ever hit me up over email? My first name dot my last name at Gmail if not
burn this moment into the retina of my eye drum cover please
That'd be a huge challenge, which as been suggested by others. If I can make the time to do it while also trying to keep my head above water IRL, I'm down.
wtff this is clean
Thanks deki, I've been *really* into playing this style of music lately
@@karlfagerstrom your content is amazing, loving your choice of music :) !
good cover!
Ty 🙏
Epic
how do you get your drums to "light up" or appear a certain color? I noticed there's a part of the set that's emitting green light, and I find the effect cool as fuck.
Thanks for noticing! All I did was put a green bulb in a small lamp under the floor tom and point it into the drum to light it up
@@karlfagerstrom thats surprisingly simple, ty!
this was fucking awesome!
Song kicks in for real at 0:00
Великолепно!!
Спасибо!!
this fucking amazing gj
🙏ty
Really good, not a drum player but your flow was great (do you call it flow? lmao)
Sure, why not? (Also ty)
god i hope i can reach this point one day
Get a kit and play for fun and you'd be surprised where you end up
@@karlfagerstrom I'm about a year in and I feel like I'm understanding stuff decently quick, been playing polyphia by ear to try to get more complex stuff down, but there's also so much an alesis nitro can do for me 😆 keep it up man, this was one of my late game goal songs so it's sick to see it get accomplished by someone, motivating as hell
Absolutely amazing! I didn't think any of the goreshit songs were actually coverable. Here is another artist that i think you will love. th-cam.com/video/mCG4c0SZUQU/w-d-xo.html
I *do* love Igorrr, I've thought about covering Very Noise after practicing it an absolute ton, but this track is also awesome
how does this man
Yerba mate = how I do this
❤
Ty for checking it out
WHAT
HUH??????
WHATTTTTTTTTT
holy shit
stay tuned
Fucking amazing work man
Thank you!
Can you explain the technique in how you are able to achieve such a high cluster of notes using only your left hand?
Definitely, but do you have a specific spot in the vid you're thinking of?
Edit: really though no matter which part you're talking about, it's probably gonna be a combination of Moeller and paradiddles/inverted paradiddles (pretty much all the clusters at their most basic level are just two notes in a row, but there are lots of small clusters all bunched very close together, if that makes sense)
@@karlfagerstrom gotcha. Also, very solid cover. Really liked the creative fills; plus the kick drum control is insane.
