totally agree w/ the OP. when i lookup covers for this, there's always some type of extra-ciricular activity going on. this drummer apparently understands that mel gaynor already wrote the part perfect. great cover, very enjoyable to watch..
Massimo Campoli: what a great point of view. I play piano and guitar occasionally, not professional, have a quite good ear, but this is a totally new perspective to me. Thank you for this comment (and for the video of course, great).
@@max21ization I'm using your drum track to re-create the entire song in FL Studio, but I couldn't find one good enough . . . until now - Thank you Massimo!
You sir are a drumming GOD!!!!! I wish that I was half the drummer you are. Simple minds should hire you for your next tour. You need to send me your autograph, so I can remember you when you are famous.
Whoaaaa... I'm sure this would get the Mel Gaynor stamp of approval. This was *_AWESOME._* I always loved the drumming on this song. Classic 80's anthem by Keith Forsey and Simple Minds. This song has been featured in countless events of my life, both in the distant past and present. Here's to it (and *_ALL_* their other great tunes) being a part of future one's too. Top cover here, my friend. Nod in your direction. *_SIMPLE MINDS RULE..._*
Everytime this song comes on the radio or in the supermarket for the past 30 years I have said to myself damn that is some great drumming - IMO it absolutely is what makes the song great!
You absolutely nail ever aspect of this. The right feel and all the important fills. While this song's hook is very catchy, I've always been convinced it was Mel's monster groove that took it over the top and made it an all-time 80's great.
So pleased by all the comments here. The drum parts on this track are so underrated and I agree they're what makes the song so memorable. I've been playing this track for over 20 years, and embarrassingly I've noticed that my practiced flik flak open hi hats that build up to the laa, la la la laa's need work! Excellent work, sir :)
For non drummers to notice & appreciate the drumming in a song it has to be unique and add something to the song. This would be one of those songs! Nice work.
Hey thank you that’s a really nice thing to say. All I try to do is bring a little bit of your style and personality to a song wether it be recorded or live but it’s the song to me that’s always most important 👍
you know, this is perfect. it sounds confident and so professional, excellent playing. i'm not a drummer, i used to play bass a long time ago, but i can feel the solid touch here, it must be a pleasure for someone to have you as the other part of the rhythm section.
Love it! And you even nailed my favorite bit at 3:46 till 3:49. I am not a drummer (play guitar), but this song is one of my favorite drum performances and very well covered by u.
yes! "don’t you" is the very first song i play while learning the drums, thanks a lot for your very descriptive video! the basic rhythms and fills come across very well. so... let’s get it on! ;) best wishes!
@3:50 ...Nailed it and your face shows you know it. That is what I call top band drumming...no showboating no unneccessary frills and crap, just quality in the pocket playing. 10/10
Fantastic; love this song. When I was a kid, I thought playing the drums was the easiest thing until I saw a real drummer playing and my jaw hit the floor! Ha! Ha!
If original poster is wondering where all these views in a years old video came from, in UK a store called Argos are using this track in their Christmas adverts. Therefore, numerous people, including me, have watched countless Simple Minds & Breakfast Club videos - then the UA-cam algorithm kicks in & viola! Glad it did though as this cover kicks some serious ass. Excellent work! Just as Judd Nelson did at the end: 💪
Oh wow isn’t that interesting I told my wife recently( the one playing bass in the U2 tribute that you mentioned) I can’t figure out for the life of me why this video started picking up steam recently😳 Well I appreciate it very much and thanks for taking the time to watch it👍
This is one of the reasons I love videos like this: I thought there was way more drum fills in this song, especially after the breakdown... nope. I just heard them in my head, apparently!
I like how his drumming is clean. No add on fills. Just like he’s recording for the album.
Banksy ha thanks that’s exactly how I approached it😃
Massimo Campoli 👍🏼 right on brother.
This comment 1000000%. Spot on drumming!!
It's called staying in the pocket 😂
totally agree w/ the OP. when i lookup covers for this, there's always some type of extra-ciricular activity going on. this drummer apparently understands that mel gaynor already wrote the part perfect. great cover, very enjoyable to watch..
Rose's are red
Violets are blue
I came just for 3:42
Awesome!
Haha awesome thank you 😃
Yesssssssssssss!! Love it!
@@max21ization man I do wish at that 3:42 mark you would have done a bunch of Carter Beauford type ride/high hat interplay. Nice play through though
And 3:42 was quite well addressed. LOL
Lol 🙋♂️🙋♂️🙋♂️🙋♂️🙋♂️
Nice job. I always felt the drums never got enough credit in this song.
Thanks
Mel Gaynors feel is what makes this tune if you ask me😁
Massimo Campoli: what a great point of view. I play piano and guitar occasionally, not professional, have a quite good ear, but this is a totally new perspective to me. Thank you for this comment (and for the video of course, great).
What?! It’s the drums that are the stand out in this song!
Drummers rarely do.
Totally agree
I liked the way the camera vibrates when you hit the bass drum
I was going to say the same thing!
+1 😀
I love watching drumming videos and this was one of the best I’ve ever watched! That guy freaking nailed it! Sounded perfect!!
Absolutely amazing, you are extremely talented. I enjoyed every minute of this. 😀👍
Adam Potter thanks very much😃
Bueno, very well played. 3:45 is one of the greatest drum fills in music - simplicity is perfection.
It sure is thanks man
Best cover of this PERIOD. Exactly as the original, or as near as damn it. AWESOME!
Thanks Stuart😃
@@max21ization I'm using your drum track to re-create the entire song in FL Studio, but I couldn't find one good enough . . . until now - Thank you Massimo!

I love his facial expressions! That's what you call having fun!
Yes sir I always do thanks😀
Well executed. Mr. Mel George Gaynor would be proud.
Montell Griffin 😃
Best cover of this song I have ever seen!
Its a 10 from me on the drumming sir!
Thank you very much😄
@@max21ization brilliant!
You should take over from Mel Gaynor!👌👍
Sublime.
You nailed Mel's chop at 3:46. 10/10. 💯👌
3.46 👏👏👍👍👍👍🥁🥁
Just brilliant - it's always inspiring to see someone doing something this well and making it look easy.
I keep coming back to this drum cover. My favorite. Dude has nice energy and mad skills. ❤❤❤❤🤘🤘🤘🤘
Good looking bloke as well..
... Bravo ! ... Always liked the sound of the ride cymbal at the end ... lol ...
Are you friggin kidding me?!? Fantabulous job, sir! Can picture Bender walking across the football field. 👊
Haha thank you sir👍
If I was the drummer, I would have let out a huge YEAH after nailing the drum break at 3.46. Good job Sir. 👍👌👊
😆 thanks
You sir are a drumming GOD!!!!! I wish that I was half the drummer you are. Simple minds should hire you for your next tour. You need to send me your autograph, so I can remember you when you are famous.
haha Alicia your the best!!
Genius! Even the look on your face when you nail it is classic
Love that passion in this man with his drums
Nice strong groove... beautiful!
Brilliant, great talent.
😃
Thats what we bottom end guys call shot for shot. So tight, super precice. Awesome work.
Just awesome performance man!! You are a bad ass playing the drums!! Great job! 🤙👌👍
Oleeee oleeee oleee jose davila drum yeassssss yutuber jiiiii jiiii
Wooow !!!! Perfecto !!!💯💯💯
Brilliant. Better than the original because I can really hear the nuances of the drums. Superb.
I know what you mean👍 Those accents in his playing are what I enjoy most about this drum groove. I appreciate it, thanks for watching 😃

Yup, great song, but without the drums it would be, Meh
Brilliant job!! Great drive and superb hat work!
This is so theraputic that I watched it twice in succession.
😄
clean. feels quite natural. great job....
That was a brilliant drum cover. Don't you forget about me is such an underrated classic
Not if you grew up in the 80s
Exceptionally tight drumming Sir, Mel Gaynor I am sure would be impressed with your performance. 👏👏
😃
Top drummer this guy could walk into any band .👍
Very very very nice !!!!! Good job!!
I have never seen a cleaner drum cover of this song ever. Well done. Well well done
Respect from Brazil.You're amazing.👏👏
UA-cam caieiras thank you my friend😃
3:46 one of my favorite drum breaks EVER. Nailed it man!!
Kevin W hey thanks👍👍
That was also groovy as hell. Awesome job!
Kevin W groove is in the heart🤘 thanks man😃
Great timing and sound. Thank you for posting.
thanks!
I dont know how anyone could give this a thumbs down. It was spot on studio take quality.
Thanks Darth maybe it’s the lack of hair😆
Superb! Great song choice and great performance.
One of my all time favourite drums sections in a song! The Christmas advert for Argos this year in the UK is brilliant!
Steve Knight Yes I’ve seen it, terrific commercial 👍
@@max21ization makes me want to buy a drum set for both myself and my son! Lol!
Absolutley amazing
You absolutely nail ever aspect of this. The right feel and all the important fills. While this song's hook is very catchy, I've always been convinced it was Mel's monster groove that took it over the top and made it an all-time 80's great.
Great job on the drum cover man! That's a good song.
This is one of my favorite drum songs.

You look like your having fun while you are nailing that track. Great job!!

Terrific job!!!!
This is one of the reasons I love videos like this: I thought there was way more drum fills in this song, especially after the breakdown... nope. I just heard them in my head, apparently!
Cliff Smith It’s just because that one fill is so epic. 😂🤟🏼
Cliff Smith yup that’s about it
Of course live you could always add a little bit of improvisation
Thanks😄
Very nice, excellent job 👍🏻
Its a best cover I've ever seen. Regards from Brazil
Thank you Braziliano 😀
