A new Ben Powel and a new cobus cover in the same day? Today was a damn good day

[@Spartus7777777]

the moment i saw this was covered i went giddy for a moment. need moar TCV!!!

[@zamarfreyre924]

Amazing job!

[@BatesonBen]

Great cover mate, I really like you taste in music, this and Foos, 2 monster drummers to back, and its difficult to find a mistake in your vids. Keep it up mate :-)

[@chino9992]

With the Behringer 2222FX were able to record individual tracks? if so how?

[@iplaydrumsnguitar]

Dude, you are amazaing! I can see you're a fan of Dave Grohl because you do covers of Them Crooked Vultures, Nirvana, and Foo Fighters. In fact, I'm going to a Foo Fighters concert in October! :D

[@andrew22O7]

what is that thing in front of you bass drum??

[@pure4lifeg]

Yes he can drum what he likes. But I think I am not the only one who whats to see his talent really tested, because we all know he has it. You know, just once haha.

[@SeanBuchert]

From the back it's scary how much you look like Josh Homme, just sayin.

[@metalmilitia06]

cover a man, a plan, a canal. panama. by the fall of troy. do something challenging.

[@ThePretender94]

how can you sell that awesome china man :(

[@MusicalCoDGuy]

I liked this video before Ben started playing.

[@NONCHELANGE]

your tom is far to big for your drum kit, it looks just ugly.

[@dassonntagskind]

When you are not good enough and do mistakes every one tells you that you suck. When you do everything right everyone screams "boring". Thats the internet.

[@DoctorCameo]

Have you done all Muse? Can't you do some The Killers, regardless their sound is kind of the "same"...? Good job, Ben, keep rockin'! :D

[@castill019967]

@ju0ju45 Why... in his left tom it looks like a moongel damper pad, thats why i'm asking

[@domjames9007]

@castill019967 to take away some of the higher un wanted frequences?

[@thegreenass182]

It´s well played, but you really need to do more challenge songs.

[@AyalMorann]

CHINA IS AWESOME!!!
oh yeah and the country is pretty nice too.

[@castill019967]

Ben do you use moongel damper pads for your toms plz respond

[@ochimwe77]

YOU ARE AMAZING AND HAVE AMAZING TASTE IN MUSIC FUCK YEAH

[@EstevaooBlack]

You should do Elephants by TCV. Please, man.

[@JannikBork]

great!

[@brian_mccomedy]

Whats the song at the end?

[@castill019967]

@brody12312 thanks man

[@PKTANGEL]

Epic Floor Tom.

[@roryando]

THAT CHINA!

[@Prens27]

awesome! :D

[@StinsonTango]

I don't see why people complain that his covers are "boring". Just because he doesn't use the song as a little backing track for him to solo over and actually plays the song exactly how it is played! If you don't want to know how the song is played CORRECTLY then do one

[@iplaydrumsnguitar]

@axedstoninst Hell yes! They're coming to the Maverick Center in West Valley, UT. It's gonna be the best day of my life!

[@InterSev]

I really don't care what Ben uploads. I watch his videos to see his drumming and sometimes learn from it. Great vids, Ben!

[@thewomanwithnohead]

The drumpart is PURE EPICNESS on this track !!!

[@radrid]

Ben you never disappoint! You rock hands down! Keep coming out with more covers! :D

[@TheJammyboy1]

[@jackdrumcovers]

[@LaNoLaCola]
