      why is there so much hate on this song? It's a typical radio song - it's not really better/worse than 99% of the songs that get played on the radio/charts

      see, I don't even know who that is. Maybe that's why I don't have a problem with that song. I just hear it on the radio. I think it's quite catchy and I actually like it a little bit.

      +Rex Ross Actually, it's not all covers - he is in a band called the Word Alive. I really enjoy their music, but Luke is great on pop music. Also, he's done side projects, I'm thinking specifically of the work he's done with Jason Richardson. But as far as being a cover drummer...nah. I would say more of a remix drummer. And he makes REALLy great drumming renditions, and or additions to the songs he does choose to work on. : )

      @@skoomabuffer5665 Didnt really feel like he was ruining it because of that, in fact i would argue that the song needs that to show the the build of the bridge has a climax. otherwise the song feels bland and boring. Also one fill that is *slightly* over the top compared to most other youtube drummers including matt mcguire that just overplay the entire song. Dont get wrong i love watching that. But this requires more restraint is is what i would listen to on the casual.

Now that you're a free agent again, I hope your personal brand continues to grow. You deserve it man. And I also hope one day to buy sheet music of your tracks like this one so I can learn some of those advanced chops (like you did with JR). Keep up the great work and sharing it with us.
