If half time drum videos are going to be continued series (and it definitely should!!) I feel like The Great Escape by Boys like Girls would be a great candidate for this.
God damn. Every time I watch you and your different arrangements it makes me miss playing music so much. Thanks for letting me live vicariously through your UA-cam videos.
I’ve listened to this many times now and I can’t get over the talent in performance and production by Alex. Many/most people listening don’t realize how good you need to be as a musician to pull this off solo.
idk how, but the combo of half time drums and the lower key makes that interlude after the first chorus one of the best easycore half time sections i’ve ever heard
Dude your covers and change ups bring a smile to me that most music hasn't in a long time. I listen and just grin at how creative and awesome it sounds. Would genuinely love an album from you
I don't think everyone truly gets how talented you are. Most Muzo's specialize in one instrument, but you do it all. I love your stuff Alex. Between these covers and your country stuff I cant get enough.
Love the nod to Ilan in the bridge, his signature "open-hats-on-the-offbeat-with-a-half-time-groove-underneath" thing that's all over that record haha Killer work as always!
Basically more space in between kicks and snare hits on a different beat. This one the verse is more difficult to tell the difference but the chorus is vastly different
@@linesmakeshapes you’re welcome 😆 sorry best I can describe it. Im not really a drummer but I understand it well enough to know the difference and how to change the feels. Just lack the motor skills 😂
LOVING the half-time covers. Now you gotta do some double time!! Also would kill for some standard pop punk songs reimagined as easycore. Love your shit dude.
Alex, hour production values are top notch. Clarity and balance of the mix is spot on. Love listening to your covers, originals, and thank you for sharing your talents with us!
Your channel appeared after I randomly got Semi-Charmed Life stuck in my head and I have been listening for the last couple of weeks nonstop now. Really enjoying all your uploads man!
These half-time covers are so cool. It's crazy how much it changes the feel of a song. I've started imagining loads of songs in half-time because of you
Dude this was awesome. I honestly appreciate this performance and overall production style and how it matches the type of footage as well, very studio-session vibe
This genuinely might be my favorite thing you’ve done. The time change makes this feel ever bigger than the original. Well done! Congrats on getting signed to Pure Noise too!
Fucking DUDE. This is off the charts good. What an homage to the OG while also being a jam that pushes the songwriting to an entirely different area. You're ridiculous, sir.
Wow. I will listen to this many many more times. Thank you for this! 🙏🙏🙏 And suddenly I wish that Paramore would play this version sometimes in the future... even a small bit of the song played in half-time by them would be really awesome!
Yassss!!! About 6 months ago I commented that you'd kill a Paramore cover and there it is. Great all round mate. I was worried after you posted a video 3 days ago I wouldn't get my first beer on a Thursday night with a slice of Melton Gold to kick things off 🎵.
Even after all these covers I’m still into half time drums.
I see what you did there!
👆 winner!
🔥🔥🔥
Nice
Bruh, when it goes from full time to half time, it makes my head start bopping
If half time drum videos are going to be continued series (and it definitely should!!) I feel like The Great Escape by Boys like Girls would be a great candidate for this.
Yes! And everything is alright 😁
I second this motion! The Great Escape would be BONKERS half-timed
Yesssss! Absolute fuego!!!
Amen!!!
HELL YES amazing choice for this!
Don't let the half-time drums distract you from this excellent vocal performance. Love it.
I was thinking that the whole time.
God damn dude I'm so glad I subscribed last year. Haven't missed an upload since. You always kill it.
can say the same about you lmao
Every, single, time
So sick. I'm such a sucker for those half-time choruses.
so freaking true, those bits have true emotion and soul in it. Goodies🧃
Me too!!
Absolutely top-tier cover, not many men that can do Haley justice but you smashed it
He got her enunciation of " time" perfect.
Even nailed the mannerisms
Really solid
@@joeykatana true!
I'm gonna need a full album of these half time covers. You can call it "Let's half a party" or something along those lines lol
Not bad
That's perfect!!
@@justinwayne445 not half bad
Nice dude lol
Half time show
Crazy how much it changes the whole feel of the song! Shows what a powerful tool drums are in the context of a song :)
I would like to petition for a half-time drum version of Dear Maria, Count Me in. I feel like you would slay this (as you do with all of your music)
God damn. Every time I watch you and your different arrangements it makes me miss playing music so much. Thanks for letting me live vicariously through your UA-cam videos.
Okay. That’s it. We’re gonna need you to make every emo/pop punk song with half-time drums now lol. These are way too good
I love the emoting he does for all these to channel the style of each of these artists.
A combo of half-time and solid fills make this song more engaging for me. Absolutely sick stuff
As a drummer, I’m absolutely in love with the half-time drums!!
As a guitarrist, I'm also in love with half time drums!!!
As a man, I'm also in love with the half-time drums!
As a musician, I am also in love with the half time drums!!!
As an anything-but-a-drummer I second that!
Same.
It honestly has a more "in love" feeling like this, fits the song well!
Everything is completely flawless by why is no one talking about the mix?! Incredible
Wow... I had to listen twice in a row, what a simple yet amazing arrangement. You kick asses, dude.
I’ve listened to this many times now and I can’t get over the talent in performance and production by Alex. Many/most people listening don’t realize how good you need to be as a musician to pull this off solo.
Bruh, you're a solid singer. And that chorus is absolutely divine in half time. Glad I discovered your stuff today, cheers!
idk how, but the combo of half time drums and the lower key makes that interlude after the first chorus one of the best easycore half time sections i’ve ever heard
Dude your covers and change ups bring a smile to me that most music hasn't in a long time. I listen and just grin at how creative and awesome it sounds. Would genuinely love an album from you
I don't think everyone truly gets how talented you are. Most Muzo's specialize in one instrument, but you do it all. I love your stuff Alex. Between these covers and your country stuff I cant get enough.
My wife and I danced to this song at our wedding. Love this take!
You gotta throw all these half-time drum covers on Spotify. I would add them all to my misc play lists lol.
The drum fill leading into the chorus always get me! great cover!
Love the nod to Ilan in the bridge, his signature "open-hats-on-the-offbeat-with-a-half-time-groove-underneath" thing that's all over that record haha Killer work as always!
I'm glad im not the only one who noticed!!! I was looking for this comment.
I've never touched a drum in my life. Are you talking about the section from 2:20 to 2:35? Trying to figure it out.
@@AaronSpencer yup, exactly the section I'm talking about!
I am very musically inept and can't really tell what's different about the drums but THIS COVER IS SO GOOD, YOURE SO GOOD
Basically more space in between kicks and snare hits on a different beat. This one the verse is more difficult to tell the difference but the chorus is vastly different
instead of "fast" dance pop drums, it's more big swingy emo.
@@sean_mccadden OK WOW THANK YOU for imparting your knowledge!! so what if i had to google kick and snares im wiser now and youre to blame
@@linesmakeshapes you’re welcome 😆 sorry best I can describe it. Im not really a drummer but I understand it well enough to know the difference and how to change the feels. Just lack the motor skills 😂
@@xsonicassassinx well BIG SWINGY EMO CAN GET IT
Bro, half-time drums are the videos we don't deserve, but it is what we need. Keep making these dude... Totally rad, homie.
LOVING the half-time covers. Now you gotta do some double time!! Also would kill for some standard pop punk songs reimagined as easycore. Love your shit dude.
SM57B withholding its place as the tried and true king.
This vid really making me wanna pikc the drums up again.
Strong Jimmy Eat World vibes in that Middle 8. Futures era kinda thing. Love it
Alex I think you’ve never sounded better. You nailed this one! Sounds so great!
A bit of Artistic License at 2:08 - am I right? ;)
Seen all your video series and “half time drums” are hands down the BEST ones
This was such a fantastic arrangement of one of my favorite songs of all time. Thank you for your work putting this out there!
Alex, hour production values are top notch. Clarity and balance of the mix is spot on. Love listening to your covers, originals, and thank you for sharing your talents with us!
Alright man- this channel just needs to be the "Half-Time Pop Punk One Man Band" channel from now on.
k? thx
This is absolutely the best cover I’ve ever heard of this song
1:43 is my favorite part
Amazing dude. Good job
This takes the cake 🤌🏼.
You should do a video on how you edit all of this together with the music!
Its a crime that this channel is not at a million subs yet.
Absolutely slaps my guy!
This is honestly one of your best covers and I've listened to quite a few. Hope it releases on Spotify soon!
I freaking love you dude. Thanks for fulfilling every pop punk dream I ever had in high-school.
DUDE, this was so good, like 10 seconds into the song I immediately hit like and subbed. OMG! 🔥
Killer as always
Your songs sound so thick and very neatly produced. The best!
Underrated comment. Dude's audio engineering skills get buried under the obvious musical chops.
@@Film-face Nice, yes, the fact that I use his music in my punkrock playlists and for parties. Its a true marvel
These half-time drums videos are something else dude.
And now I know what I’ll be listening to the rest of the day
Your channel appeared after I randomly got Semi-Charmed Life stuck in my head and I have been listening for the last couple of weeks nonstop now. Really enjoying all your uploads man!
These half-time covers are so cool. It's crazy how much it changes the feel of a song. I've started imagining loads of songs in half-time because of you
I don't understand how you can so few suscribers man, you're amazing! Keep doing what you do!
Nice! Great job man. Drums were sick. Got some Jason Lancaster vibes from the vox..🤙🏼🤙🏼
That was amazing! Your vocals were incredible. I could watch you play drums for hours. So talented!
I rarely comment on videos, but you nailed this one, bro
Duuuude this was siiiick! Way to do it justice man. Paramore would be proud of your craft sir.
Please never stop doing this stuff. Its SO refreshing
This guy is a fricken genius. So entertaining every time.
Half time drums make is so groovy like the whole song is a breakdown. Love it. Please keep doing half time covers\originals.
for the love of all that bangs, PLEASE put these half drums onto spotify!!!!
Great job on these covers. Nostalgia with a flair when I watch your videos. Half-time stuff has been fun to listen to.
This guy KILLS everything he does. Always so impressed, but this one was friggin’ amazing!
Dude this was awesome. I honestly appreciate this performance and overall production style and how it matches the type of footage as well, very studio-session vibe
Just found out about halftimes and this is the first vid I found. Keep em coming man
That verse gets a big No Doubt vibe with those drums like that. Sick!
Love it. I'd love some more of your "if the story so far covered..." Or "if the wonder years covered..." Stuff
I could see Coheed really killing this cover. Great job Al!
This genuinely might be my favorite thing you’ve done. The time change makes this feel ever bigger than the original. Well done! Congrats on getting signed to Pure Noise too!
Just discovering your channel and I love it! Never knew I needed half time covers of Paramore 😂
This slaps! The half time drums go with the song so well, and you nailed the vocals! Been listening to it everyday!
Bro, loved it, but that bridge through the end was absolute fire dude.
literally my favorite artist
Dude this is so good please keep coming out with these!
This is quickly becoming my favorite channel on UA-cam! You are an incredible musician!
A second look and his ghost notes are awesome. All around great drumming and I really dig your style !
Alright…this is my new favorite rendition of this song!! That guitar riff 1/2 way through kills me. Keep it up dude
It’s so good!!!
Your drumming keeps on getting better Alex. Love watching your covers.
Yo, this is fantastic! I need this on Spotify, please put it there as well
Liked this before it even started because I want so many more of these half time covers plz
Vocal mix and effects sound so dope
You really looked like you were having a blast with this one my guy. You killed it, I love the cover!
Oh shit, this is actually fantastic! Turns it from the ultra-sweet pop rock into a half-ballad banger, was not expecting that!!!
This is my favourite so far. Absolutely smashed it 🤝
Your channel is constantly giving me life
Fucking DUDE. This is off the charts good. What an homage to the OG while also being a jam that pushes the songwriting to an entirely different area. You're ridiculous, sir.
1000th like!! You’re killing it dude, keep up the sick jams!!
Really have to explore more halftime stuff. This is fantastic stuff and would love to see more halftime songs!
drummer alex is my favorite in every video
Love this new half-time drums series you got.
the older we get the less buttons we require 😎
keep up the great work dude!
The half-time drums really gives the song a modern ballad feel. I can dig it.
Wow. I will listen to this many many more times. Thank you for this! 🙏🙏🙏 And suddenly I wish that Paramore would play this version sometimes in the future... even a small bit of the song played in half-time by them would be really awesome!
Nailed it Alex!!, bravo! Don’t think I’ve heard a bad cover from you!
Legit can't get enough of these half time covers!
This should be titled "If Anberlin wrote 'Still into You'"
Yassss!!! About 6 months ago I commented that you'd kill a Paramore cover and there it is. Great all round mate. I was worried after you posted a video 3 days ago I wouldn't get my first beer on a Thursday night with a slice of Melton Gold to kick things off 🎵.
Love your work Alex!
In love with this song.. thanks Alex
this song takes me back to places and times.
thank you for this amazing cover!
What an absolute vibe bro! Make more of these half time videos please 💯💯
