Haha thanks man. Hopefully the tutorial video helps!

It is real impressive

No one else gets it

+Karolina Uherčíková forgot to respond to this but thanks, hope your cover went well!

Thank you!

Thanks man, that's good advice. Those fast double bass parts really pushed me and I got a little physically discombobulated trying to play them. I definitely need to work on my technique haha

Yeah every new stuff is hard in whatever involves your body. I am only 34 but already neck- back problems. This has a deep impact for the moment on my quality of life. (not only the consequence of playing drums) . But I think we should warm up before touching any drum stick, learn some exercices to avoid any problem and learn to rest a bit during a long drum session. Keep going man! good luck

Yeah an buy a foam roller and do some yoga or something. Great drumming!!!! 👍

As a drummer totally agreed :) And Great Cover and Drum Lesson. keep it up

Thanks man, much appreciated!

nebulosza thank you!

Thanks so much! Great comment!

+Garfield Forest Thank you!

Thank you!

Actually this is not too difficult for double bass hahahaa the fast part is stright, there aren't too complicated patterns to do. Only need to achieve the speed and then hold it straight while playing

Yeah absolutely! Just about getting the evenness of the common subdivisions, hehe :) Nice work nonetheless!

Thank you!

lmao

as longs as its everything before The Hunter

Thank you!

I know why u hid your foot camera after 3:10... because your foot technique is shitty and your are not able to play 24 notes at 128 bpm... your are not even playing 16 notes, u are playing around 20 notes and this is not precise at all ! u should return to practise before showing technical songs not played well... sorry :/

Benjamin michaluk After i first red your comment i asked myself how u did to hear the difference between a 24 and a 20 note played at around 128 bpm then i tried my best to compare the studio one with this drum cover to see if i could hear any difference on the drum kick intense moment at around 3:10 but i couldnt notice any raw, have you a trick to hear it or is it just experience ?

You may be correct on the technical part, and I partly agree with you. However, I played metal and punk for a long time, burnt out and then started playing again recently. Among my new-found metal faves, from a drumming perspective, include Brann Dailor and Mario DuPlantier. The latter seems to have a lack of how-to's and clinics online, so in the meantime, Enter Kevin. I rather appreciate that he's willing to share his areas of expertise, as well as his works-in-progress. I don't think he made any excuses for his visible exhaustion, playing the full version of this song!? Despite taking nearly 10 years off from playing myself, I'm glad to know that I correctly heard the first half of this catchy rudiment; the other half I'll have to work on to master it. In short, thanks, Kevin!

Yeeeeaaah

Thank you!!

Elefant sausage is fine with me for now. 😊

Now this may just be a complete guess... and it is... but I personally just listen to the track a hell of a lot on repeat and single out every beat I needed to get down. In other words, I'd try and play whatever sounded right. With most metal songs these days, there's not many ways to actually get access to the official drum scores. Learning them by ear and drum covers etc. tends to be the only way

iDrumGod Thank you for the response, very much appreciated (Y) However, I do that too but some tunes are just out of my league I suppose. Unfortunately, the "listen until you figure it out" didn't work for me this time (that's why I asked you), I listen to this whole album at least once or twice a week and still I'm amazed by how much little I understand what's going on when Mario makes the "frying" sounds on the snare (sorry, I don't know how it's called in English, in Italian "frying" is when the drummer hits the snare very gently in order to make a continuous sound that is kinda similar to frying food) :D

+Alessandro Murtas I've actually made a tutorial video for the main groove of this song. You can find it on my channel, hope it helps! Also, I think you're referring to ghost notes

Hey, thanks! That's a great groove to learn because it's so challenging and yet so tasteful. I'd recommend just starting with the initial RLLRLL rudiment and getting very comfortable doing that. Hit hard using the right and use ghost notes on the snare.The bass drum is simply on the R. Then it goes to RR(l)RLLRRLL (the (l) just means you hit the snare hard instead of using ghost notes). This is a bit tougher but the bass drum is only on that first R. So in total we have RLLRLLRR(l)RLLRRLL with bass drum hits on the first 3 Rs. The second time the groove repeats but instead of doing the second RR you hit the right once and then accent the snare. That part you should really just listen to and learn. I usted the high hat clutch to keep the 8th note pulse but you don't need to do that until you're comfortable playing the groove. Good luck! I hope this helped

+Kevin Wade Thank you so much for taking the time to answer my questions. As I'm not a trained drummer I've had a little bit of problems following some of your instructions, but I surely am trying! I've really tried to just get the ride and snare part of the groove down, but I think I'm missing something. I think I almost have it just from watching you play. Would you perhaps be interested in offering some sort of breakdown video of the parts of this song? I think it would be an awesome addition to your collection, and I'm sure that it would garner you a lot of hits :) I'd definitely watch it regularly, and post weekly videos as responses for my progress. I don't have any quality cameras, but I'm sure that a drummer of your calibre would be able to watch and offer some good suggestions as to a way to improve my incorrectness. Thanks again, and sorry I responded so late -- I noticed immediately that you responded, but was unable to properly reply due to crunch time at work.

+Xaero Degreaz I've definitely considered making song tutorials, and this groove would be a great start. I don't get back from school until Dec 17 so maybe I'll record it around then! Until then, I would just recommend listening to the groove and trying to feel it out as best you can. I agree, the RL notation doesn't really help me either (I learn all songs by ear). I totally understand being busy with work man, no worries!

+Kevin Wade Hey man I think I have the main groove down! I still haven't gotten the double bass down, and I'm not sure that I'm 100% keeping perfect time + the ghosts, but I think I'm a lot better off by studying you. I've watched the last couple of videos that you've uploaded in anticipation of a real breakdown tutorial and I'm bursting at the seams with anticipation. I hope that you're able to make time soon even though I see you're definitely on to bigger and better things. Just wanted to update you :) Even my kids look at me like I'm a little more awesome every time they watch me do this ^^;

+Xaero Degreaz hey, I'm happy to hear you're making progress! I leave to go back to college in a week and plan on recording a tutorial before then. My plan is to upload it as private but allow you to have access to it when it's uploaded. I'm doing this to spread out my uploads while I'm away at school. I'll let you know when my tutorial is ready, keep up the good work!

There's a tutorial video up on my channel for that groove, which I learned by ear. Check it out!

zildjian avedis, not sure if 20'' or 22''

No, it's called the Wild Child
