Laus Deo Semper.
This is a drum cover of DMB's song, Tripping Billies. Carter Beauford is one of my top 3 favorite drummers and influences, the drum part he conceived for this song is something to be marvelled at.. it's sooooo good, and a LOT of fun to play :) i really had a good time covering this one.
I don't know what heppened to the audio, somehow the quality is a LOT lower than my other video's, it has to be at youtube's side of things because on my pc they sound exactly like the older covers, if not better. sometime in the near future i'll make a plan to host all the dvd quality video's on a website, anybody with some expertise in terms of video compression.. please let me know!
I have to emphasize, I know calling this a "cover" is wrong, seeing as I only PARTLY stayed true to the song's drums, through the WHOLE song i play some variations of the beats, phrasing and fills, I'm NOT aiming to be accurate to the original drums, I'm just aiming to enjoy myself.. :) And I thouroughly succeeded in doing that, I might add ;)

(please note the toms are tuned and equalized for RECORDING purposes, live they need to be tuned a lot more "open" to sound as good as in the recording. and yes, the kit DOES sound that good live :) i had almost NO equalising on the drums themselves, and ONLY removed some low frequencies from the overheads. basically i only levelled the mix and applied compression.)
*RECORDING*
I miced each individual drum (snare top AND bottom were miced), plus two overheads, ran this through a mixer, got a decent mix and recorded with ONLY *ONE* stereo channel.. no multitrack recorder(s) :) I compressed the final mix to HELL.. to get a more aggressive sound, to make it sit better in with the original song (and hopefully overpower the original drums), detailed compression settings: 20:1 with a threshold of -20db and a compensation gain of 15db, with both separate channels (LEFT and RIGHT, from the mixer) sent to a stereo sub-group, and the compression settings applied to THIS group, it gave a nice compact and aggressive result.. further mastering was needed to equalize the final mix and control peak levels and such, to have it fit in with the original music track.

This is a drum cover of BEP's song, Let's Get It Started. I really like hip-hop's rhythmic structure, so i REALLY dig playing all the off-beats and off-set accents :) crazy cool. loved playing this.

This is a drum cover (from the TRI-cam Series) of *Nsync's song, Pop. I edited this song so that it's 10% faster than the original album version.. makes things more interesting :)
This is technically not at all accurate, but that wasn't the intention of the 'cover'. This is not so much a drum cover as a my personal rendition of the song :) This is pretty much a rock/funk cover of a VERY "pop" song, which made things really interesting.. i have to say i'm quite pleased with the outcome.

This is a drum cover (from the TRI-cam Series) of Angels and Airwaves' insanely cool song, Valkyrie Missile. This is an edited version of the song, 3:52 long in stead of the original 6:39, it has no extended intro, as well as no second verse, second chorus and prelude to the bridge.
This is technically not at all accurate, but that wasn't the intention of the 'cover'. This is not so much a drum cover as a my personal rendition of the song :) Thanks to AvA for this brilliant song, can't wait for the second album..!!
And as for the smile when the song finally starts.. i just enjoyed it so damn much ;)

This is a drum cover (from the TRI-cam Series) of Fort Minor's damn cool song, Believe Me. I really like the rhythm aspect of hip-hop.. so yeah, loved doing this one :) plus the production value of fort minor's songs (especially mr shinoda's style..) is insanely cool, was damn cool covering a hip-hop song.
