V Drum covers- by Kevin S Reardon.

Приєднався 2 тра 2020
Hello Everyone!
My name is Kevin Reardon, I am a drummer, drum teacher, and audio engineer. I am turning 63 and have been playing the drums for over 45 years. My drum channel is primarily devoted to creating drum covers of some amazing songs by my favorite drummers and their bands. The idea for these videos started back when Covid first appeared, we were going to go online only and I wanted to make it possible for my drum students to see all the songs we were currently working on in the lessons being played up close in their entirety, something that is often hard to accomplish in a half-hour session. The specific goal of the cover videos is to show how any professional drummer's playing styles can be studied, absorbed, and modified within a song to then be replayed in a way that reflects our own personal style of playing- kind of re-writing the drum parts in a way that hopefully still makes the song sound great, lol! Thanks so much for watching! 🎶 🥰 Luv, Kev.

10th Street - Pete Thorn - V Drum cover by Kevin S Reardon.
Hello, everyone, and Happy Monday! This is another track from Pete's first album, Guitar Nerd, (2011) It's a really beautiful ballad, one of my favorites from this treasure trove of great songs- not much of a drum song per se, but I love this one, it has a deep place in my heart- I've wanted to do a cover of it for years. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do- Luv, Kev.
*dedicated to my good friend Mark Moore, certainly is one of the best guitarists I ever met . Many Thanks for the opportunity to see and hear you play, sir!
Equipment: Roland TD-27 kit, Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 USB interface, QSC K12.2 amp, and JBL and ADAM AUDIO studio monitors. My headphones are Sony MDR 7506, and I use JBLs as well. Sticks are either PROMARK Rebound 5A (.565) Select Balance, Sound Percussion 5A's, and of course, my beautiful custom 2B sticks made by my amazing wife.
As always, I hope you enjoy my contribution/interpretation!

Hello everyone, and Happy Sunday! I just found out that Pete has been invited to and is touring with Joe Satriani and Steve Vai and forming a new band, which is a phenomenal trio of guitar giants, to say the least. I've been following Mr. Thorn and his music ever since his first appearances on UA-cam, (and Joe and Steve Since the 80's) so I couldn't be more thrilled to go see them when they com...

Hello everyone, and Happy Wednesday! Today's video is another great song from the incredible release from Analog Son, Black Diamond (2017). This is one of the harder types of drum beats to shadow, the slower songs have more room to mess up the timing, lol! But what a groove, so funky! I hope you enjoy my jam-along- *This is dedicated to my honey, my dear wife, Heather- Love, Kevin :) Equipment:...

Hello everyone, and Happy Tuesday! Today's video is from the incredible release from Analog Son, Black Diamond (2017). As with some other covers, my goal in this video was just to blend in as best as possible, not really complicating or muddying things up as it's already a busy track- But what a groove- I love this rhythm section! I hope you enjoy my jam-along- Luv, Kev. Equipment: Roland TD-27...

Happy Monday everyone, hope your weekend was good! I'm starting the week off right, time to shake the walls- this is a drum cover of another amazing song from Jennifer's 1992/2008 album Above, Below, and Beyond. I saw Jennifer when she was touring with Jeff Beck back in the 90s, what a monster show that was! (also one of the loudest concerts I've ever had the pleasure to attend, lol!). This fat...

I hope you enjoy it too, so crank it up and jam along- I hope you have a...

Hello, everyone, and Happy Saturday to all, welcome to my channel! This is a drum cover of the Immortal drum/guitar anthem song from 1980, AC/DC's amazing album, Back In Black. I did a cover of this song about 4 years ago, and It's just about to pass 46,000 views so I wanted to revisit it to celebrate. It's always such a fun song to play, so I hope you enjoy my new 2025 version. Happy New Year!...

Hello, everyone, and Happy Monday! New Year's is coming fast, yay! I have new tunes today from Shawn Lane Remembered Vol 1(2005), a real treat (if you don't have it, get it, lol) from the music library of guitar awesomeness. Shawn Lane was an absolute monster player, and certainly Mr. Carlsson is, too. The bass line is thud-like, I'm starting the week off right- so let's jam! This is the second...

Hello everyone, Happy Monday, and Happy Holidays!! I was fortunate enough to have grown up as a young drummer listening to a lot of great funk players, Jeff Lorber, Marcus Miller, Will Lee, John Scofield, Delmar Brown, Kenwood Dennard, Daryll Dobson & Rael Wesley Grant with High Life, Stanley Clark and Billy Cobham, among many others. George Duke was the first musician I really heard magically ...

Hello, everyone, and Happy Saturday! Happy Holidays too! I've got a Michael Lee Firkins tune to cover today- Let's Jam! This is the third track from his 1995 release, Chapter 11. It's in 5 at times, so it has a little different feel on the groove meter, but it's a great song- I love his guitar work, always with a great band- I hope you enjoy it too, so crank it up and Jam along! Luv, Kev. * Thi...

Wow!! Nice going buddy!! Excellent playing you nailed it!! Nice steady groove!! Well done!! You've earned a sub and a like from me!! I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on my latest drum cover!! Cheers and Happy 2025!

You’re welcome ! I really appreciate your support ☺️ thank you so much! 😊
awesome stuff! Love Sekou's work on this song
Kev, man, this is brilliant. I too have played this record more times than I can count. I play bass and I never even tried to cover this. Time for a rethink. Your cymbal work blows me away - is that a 'ride' cymbal that you're on most of the way through? It sounds sweet as can be. Respect!
Nice played Sir sounds complicated 😂
Thanks brother 😎! 🎼It’s got a little bit going on- lots of quick changes lol!😆
Looks fun.......sir!!!! Nice job!!!
It is!❤ 🙏
That is some great playing Kevin! Keep it up
