[Drum Cover] Megadeth - Skin O' My Teeth (Drumless Backing Track)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 лют 2025
- Let's go back to the glory days of Megadeth and do another drum cover from their Countdown to Extinction album. This is now my 4th drum cover from this record and I think I have a few more to go...This time around, I wanted to get close to the original drum sound because it's somewhat unique. The original drum track features a great sounding kick, a very dry sounding snare, and toms that are dry yet powerful. I think I nailed 2 of the 3 aspects of the kit with the snare being the weak point. But it still sounds good.
I've been playing this song for many years but I have never attempted to learn the drum intro in the past. So I had my work cut out, but thanks to a more recent UA-cam short from Mauricio Weimar@extreme_drums I was able to see the actual pattern needed. Although I don't play it like Mauricio does, I think I play it more like Nick Menza did. In any event, I had to work on this for a bit to get the speed going. 🤣😂 After the intro, everything else was second nature and fell right into place in one take. 🤘
Stick around until the end for a couple outtakes to witness my struggles with my in-ears...

Oh HELL to the YES!!!! One of Nick's finest tracks. We gonna talk about that absolutely PERFECT kick drum sound????? Holy shit dude - that is the album sound!!!! As usual, you've left no stone unturned. This is a replica of the track. Fantastic dude
Trey man. Hope you are well rested! I thought you gave up on commenting on my videos. 🫨🤯 Seems like a minute since the last comment you left me. But I get it, your hot shit famous with those abs of steel! LOL. Anyways, yea man. I struggled hard with the mix on this one and still to this day, I hate the snare sound. It sounds like a cheap Roland module snare, not the usual Superior Drummer 3 mix I like! I wanted to stick close to the original, which is a very dry snare anyways, and I just couldn't nail it. I loved everything else about the kit, the kick especially as you pointed out, but the snare will forever haunt me. Anyways, enough of my bitchin'. Next month's cover is going to be lame as well. I can feel it...but at least the kit on that one sounds good. 🤣 Can't win em all. Have a great weekend man.
Sounds BRUTAL!
I appreciate the comment. I am sure this track with be redone at some point as I am not really happy with the drum kit sound I put together. Thanks for watching and hope you enjoy some of the other covers I have on my channel. 😎😎🙏🙏🤘🤘
@ omg actually I was pretty impressed with the sound you got! Looking forward to listening to the new mix, I just subscribed :) Also I have a few covers of my own if you want to check out, cheers from Chile 🇨🇱 and keep on rocking 🤘
My friend, this is really a great work, my compliments!
😎🐺🤘I'm happy that tributes are paid to those who made real music!
Hey Jason! Thanks as always for taking the time out of your day to watch & comment on my videos. I thank you kind sir!
This sounds friggin awesome Bryan! I get what you're saying about the snare sound, but I feel like it sounds better than you think... it's so sharp and it cuts through, and it definitely sounds in place with the kick and the super crisp production. I know how it is when you're wrestling with a sound, you really want it to hit the sound you have in your head... But let's talk about that intro... holy crap, dude.😳😳 This whole thing is killer -- great job my man! 🤘🤘💥💥
Thanks for the vote of confidence. But I'm sticking to my guns and still hating the snare sound. It could be a revisit in the future. The intro is the only saving grace for this cover and if it wasn't for that, it certainly would of been shelved. Thanks as always for all the support. It's great knowing guys like you and Trey Bledsoe. 🤘🙏😎
I agree with Trey you played this perfectly and it sounds so freakin good too!! I saw them back then when they were touring for this album!! Great concert!!🤘🤘
Hey Zach! Yea man, I too saw a show during this album run and they had one of my other favorite bands opening up for them, Suicidal Tendencies! Thanks for the comment and the support over the years. 🤘😎🙏
@@RedGearMusic Stone Temple Pilots were the opener for the show I saw!! But Suicidal Tendencies would of been cool too!!
Nice one Bryan! Got that snappy snare sound that Menza used on Countdown. Pretty sure you nailed that perfectly! The opening fill is one for the books! Nice work
Heh, Hey Mike! It's been a long time. I'm glad you enjoy the snare but c'mon, you have to admit, it sounds like a Roland module snare! I wouldn't be surprised if Megadeth actually used this as a sample. 🧐🤔 I'm still struggling accepting this in the mix. At one point, I literally threw my paper notes at the wall that listed all the different snares that I tried and sounded decent but ended up not working out. I finally gave up and just left it. You know me, I'm a perfectionist. Oh well. I should just let it go...maybe when I retire I'll remix it for funsies. Appreciate you leaving the comment and I'm still waiting for your comeback! 🤞🙏😎
Hell yeah man, sounds great! Killed it!!
Hey, I appreciate the comment and the vote of confidence with the sound. I'm not quite happy with the snare sound so I will have to remix it some day.... thanks again!
Killer work
Is that a Google canned response? 🤔 If so, Google is pretty metal...🤘Thanks for checking this one out. It just might be a revisit in the future because of what I hate on it, and you know what I mean.
Nice! My brother and I got to meet Nick outside the House of Blues. Of course he was super cool despite the fact we hit him square in the chest with our demo tape during their show.
Yo Adam, thanks for the comment. Hope you are doing good! Why would you try to drop a demo tape onto Nick? 😁 He's the most chill, unconnected to the music industry person, ever! 😂 When was this encounter with him, during his Megadeth days or when he was with OHM? I never got to meet any of me hero's and surely Nick is one of them for me. I love Nick's playing, so powerful, yet graceful. Appreciate you brother! 😎🙏🤘
🤘🤘🤘
What t-shirt are you wearing?
LOL. Only you would ask about the shirt. It's the Grunt Style Red Blood Blue Collar shirt. I wear way too much Grunt Style gear. Perhaps I should get an endorsement for all the free promoting. Hope you enjoyed the cover at least. 🤣
@@RedGearMusic Was just curious. Cover was great!
