@@reallife.axelsteel I was playing in clubs all over Atlanta back in the 1980s with my little local band. I knew a lot of musicians all over town and everyone recognized Alex Van Halen as an exceptionally great drummer.
I’m 9 years old and really want to start a band with me, my dad, and my brother my dad playing bass mainly me mainly playing drums and my brother playing guitar mainly and I would mainly be on vocal and I want to cover this song.
As someone has been drumming for over 35 years, I absolutely love this. There's no doubt the skills are 100%, but as a drummer, what I love is how much fun you're having. The smiling, the swaying, you're feeling the grove. I also like the kind of side of side arm attack on some of the high hat parts. Keep up the great work, and keep enjoying what you're doing!!
Dude - that is absolutely brilliant. I've said it before that my favourite drummers are the ones who make it look effortless, and you certainly do that!! 🤘🤘🤘
man i just happen to find this channel while letting a drum covers playlist just play. Bro looks so happy playing and can play his ass off to some of the hardest sets. Makes it look so effortless i had to sub. awesome cover!
Kyle, great job! Always loved how the drums at the start of the song remind me of a drag car staging at the Christmas tree! Alex is a very underrated drummer!!!
Oh man, Kyle very well done! Alex would be very proud! I love watching you play and you are a very skilled drummer. Love your channel and keep rocking my friend!
I've never seen one of your videos till tonight. I can tell you enjoy playing very much. I was cheesin' the whole time enjoying the tune. Great job my man
Has a Beautiful smile,nice too look ate Beautiful eyes and plays awesome 👍😎👍 really cheers me up to watch him play and to hear good music . Definitely makes my day better infectious 😊😁😊😁😊😁
I love this video. Don't know anything about drumming but Kyle's and Avery's covers make me want to. Haha. Both look like they are having so much fun playing. Kyle's drumstick flipping and the "WAVE" painting in the background take it over the top! :))
i need to get back to reading drum music, i learned when i was young then promptly stopped in my mid 20s. i got heavily back into playing again now in my early 40s and i'm getting good again, but i'm at a wall. probably that and more practice. i just can't figure out the bass drum pattern trying to play along with you. anyway have a great day!
Love that you put the double base footage in this. You knew someone would be looking for it. I started off on double base and it was hard to play without it. You know you nailed it.
Everybody always talks about Eddie and his guitar playing while Alex and his drumming get overlooked. But Alex is no slouch
You really think ?
Most underrated drummer in hard rock history.

@@stricknine8623 The same was true here in Hollywood. There were always a gaggle of us drummers in their audience!
Alex Van Halen & Nicko McBrain are two of the greatest rock drummers of all time and are both constantly overlooked and never mentioned.
I don’t know if the intro was supposed to sound like a motorcycle, but it does to me. One of the coolest drum intros of any song!
Rumored to be inspired by a cammed v8. Makes sense since both Alex and Eddie were really into muscle cars
Yeah Al really used those Simmons electronic drums great
sounds like a suped up badass motor. reminds me of my dads cars
Shovelhead
the Intro is inspired by the sound of a Harley Davidson Shovelhead
That smile is infectious. That's coming from a straight guy. Shows the passion.
All women want to be with him, all men want to be him
@@bigholmes1660😂
The eyebrow raise after the opening riff. Epic
I know right!!!!!
same here!

@@bigyessuccess4525 late reply but man if you work for that you can get it. never stop playing either, its good for you in a sense and its super fun
Very Eddie van halenian. Hahahahaha
The click of sticks just after the intro! Most people I see cover this always miss that!
Yeah same! But it really does add a snall feature to the drumming and it sounds good
This guy is really making this look easy but this is one of the most difficult songs I've ever played I still never got the intro as clean as him
0:47 that stick hit was on point
This is the cleanest version of the intro I've ever seen. Awesome job!
yeah! check Drumeo tutorial. Pretty clean too
Sooo hard to actually find the drum intro done correctly. This guy Rocks!!!
I was about to post this exact comment.
👍
*EVERYTHING* about this is 💯 to me, playing is perfect, showmanship on point and the mixing is literally some of the best i've heard on youtube 🔥
Plot twist- he only drums so his watch says he got 10000 steps in.
Then I'd say he's got about 5-days' worth in on this one.
._.
He prolly burned more calories in the double kick alone then walking 10000 steps lol
Didn’t expect to see you here! 😂
@@styler00001
This is one of those songs I've heard 1000 times on the radio, watching this I realise I've underappreciated this for too long
RIP Eddie...you legend 🤘🤘
Charisma? Check. Chops? Check. Looks like he loves every minute of what he’s playing? Check. Great videos!
You are the first person Ive seen that played the ride cymbal part correctly...Hands down the best cover of this song period...
VH had 2 of the greatest musicians in in. Alex is under appreciated drummer
The whole band was epic.
Well done , hardly anyone does this justice. Especially on the intro. Great job
Man I remember being blown away with that drum intro as a kid. back on records. shit was so good.
Dude always looks like he's having such a good time.
Should I be ashamed to know that those pantsu are from the Fruit of Grisaia?
@@Hydra_X9K_Music Nope. Not at all.
He’s having TOO MUCH FUN!!!! His infectious joy must be stopped!!!
Everyone has fun rockin out
Why wouldnt he?
I can’t even smile as long as he does and I’m just watching. Hell I am winded just watching him.
This guy must’ve listened to this song for months on repeat in order to memorize every single thing. true dedication.
This is by far the best cover I've seen on drums for this song. And I've seen a lot. Great job dude! I would love to see more covers from Van Halen!
Agreed. Most people miss the mark somewhere in the song. It’s the in between stuff and vibe they always miss. This dude nails it all.
Well done. Accurate, clean and powerful. Thank you for sharing.
super Awesome............as always!!!..............applause 👏.....................👍👍👍
always loved how the beginning sounded like an idling motorcycle
Dang Kyle....you have so much fun and make it look easy drumming. You rock and kick ass Kyle...great job !!!
This was honestly one of the most accurate covers I've seen and not just of this song I mean in general

One of my all time favorite drummers.
すんげぇ楽しそうにドラム叩いてる！
カッコイイし、動画あげてくれてありがとう🙇🙏🙇
I think people who play drums are DANGEROUS lol the hand and feet coordination is CRAAAAZY 🔥
So excellent. Love the drums in this song so much! I never get tired of seeing/hearing this drum cover. Awesome!
This guy has to be a robot, how else could you explain such spot on timing.
Damn impressive!
One of the most timelessly cool songs ever
Man , Eddie and Al really knew how to swing. Long live the Mighty Van Halen! Excellent playing Kyle.
You nailed it!
Holy shit, HANDS DOWN best drum cover I've heard. I know I'm not an educated musician, but I didn't hear a single missed beat. Awesome job, sir.
I love the galloping of the drums in this song. RIP Eddie! And, great playing man. You did this cover justice man!
Dude - that is absolutely brilliant. I've said it before that my favourite drummers are the ones who make it look effortless, and you certainly do that!! 🤘🤘🤘
That snare drum is fucking beautiful. Everything about it.
man i just happen to find this channel while letting a drum covers playlist just play. Bro looks so happy playing and can play his ass off to some of the hardest sets. Makes it look so effortless i had to sub. awesome cover!
This song is a beast for the drums. Great job!
Dude didn't even break a sweat and play the song with a smile on his face... Amazing 👏👏👏 nice and clean performance and record also... Very nice job
Love that Van Halen shuffle rhythm. The Full Bug is another favorite of mine.
Excellent job drummer 👏👏👏
That was so well executed. This has gotta be the gold standard of drum covers of Hot for Teacher
Kyle, great job! Always loved how the drums at the start of the song remind me of a drag car staging at the Christmas tree! Alex is a very underrated drummer!!!
Love the little mod you threw in at 2:50. Serious respect for this cover, man!!
Every time I hear hot for teacher I think it’s probably the best drumming of all time
I could listen to this song 5 times a day fo life, good job!

The facial expressions say it all! Love it!
The fricken BEST rock&roll drum part!
My fav VH song from my high school days. Well done.
Damn son ... I love this drum power ... so much real life enthusiasm ... I could listen to the entro on a loop ...

Top Tier Muso....One of the Best I've ever seen and heard

Solid take, dude! I love that you're rocking a Pinstripe on the kick! Old school.
Dude is a beast! One of the best covers I've ever heard.

I only came here because this song sounds so much fun to play and it looks like you had just as much fun playing it. cheers
Honestly the best sounding drums I've ever heard on UA-cam and I've watched a ton of videos. 👍 job dude!!!
FERDA
I prompted, back in my wild years, my band into playing this song. I was (of course) shirtless, and driving.
It was something to behold.
Excellent as always. No variation in timing what so ever. Amazing!
Wow, excellent job. Your drums sound absolutely amazing!!!
I love the drums in this song..Great job
The ease at which you play this awe inspiring.
Fantastic cover great to watch too, you look so comfortable with it. Keep up the videos, & thanks for sharing.

You nailed it brother! Some people miss the triplets on the ride cymbal
dude, i love how happy you are in this video. i can tell how much fun you are having. this is what playing drums is all about. lfg.
i need to get back to reading drum music, i learned when i was young then promptly stopped in my mid 20s. i got heavily back into playing again now in my early 40s and i'm getting good again, but i'm at a wall. probably that and more practice. i just can't figure out the bass drum pattern trying to play along with you. anyway have a great day!
FLAWLESS
Best drum cover of this song on UA-cam! Great job
What I love about this drum intro an most metal songs is that droning beat like that of a piston engine
Such a great beat
Oh my God .... THIS IS FREAKIN AWESOME!!! well done man
Kyle....you are the man! You make it look easy, my friend!!!! Love this!!!
F'n incredible. Why aren't you freaking famous yet???!!!
😮. Incredible man. Note-for-note perfect. 🙌🏾
Love that you put the double base footage in this. You knew someone would be looking for it. I started off on double base and it was hard to play without it. You know you nailed it.
