    Hard is always relative. It was very hard when I first learned it; I was maybe 14 at the time and could barely keep up with my right foot. As time goes on, what was hard becomes easy and just fun.

    Good god... it's like watching a well oiled machine perfectly strike the head of each drum and cymbal. When I drum it doesn't sound too bad, but I look like a flailing epileptic. Best drum cover on UA-cam, of any song for that matter.

    Seriously, THE BEST My Hero drum cover on here. And I don't mean, "since you've got only a floor and a high tom, pretty good," but ...yeah, the best. I mean, throwing your own personal touches in? There's enough going on in the original that I wouldn't think you'd be able to fit them in!
    Seriously: point me to your nearest record so I can buy 20.

  • @MarkPoiesz
    @MarkPoiesz  12 років тому +12

    Hey guys I dig the debate... the reality is that Dave tracked the drums on this tune and overdubbed toms on top of the basic groove. That's why it sounds so huge. When I started playing this song at around 14 or so, I didn't know that overdubbing existed, so I tried to get as close to the record as possible. Fast forward a few years... everyone who sees me do the intro this way loves it. So I keep playing it the way I did when I was a kid. Please check out my other videos too!!!
