This is my cover of “Higher” by Avenged Sevenfold from the album “The Stage”. Hope you enjoy it! Stay tuned for more covers.
A note about the transcription. There is an overdubbed ride pattern throughout the song but most prominently it is heard in the opening and at 3:04. I played it without because that is the way it looks like Brooks plays it in the studio session video. I did come up with a way it could be partially played while hitting crashes at the same time. If you’re interested I have included a version of the transcription that has the overdubbed part at 3:04.

deserves more views than just around 4K
Thanks man! :D It was doing pretty well until the audio/video went out of sync. That kind of killed it's momentum. I'm hoping it'll pick up again now that UA-cam seems to have fixed their issue!! 👍
Appreciate you checking it out!! :)
Edit this to 40k so he gets to 400k
Damn! Messi got some skills
Haha! Thanks man! 😎
This song is extremely hard and you pulled it off beautifully.
Dude, that's like...Lionel Messi playing drums, wtf
;-)
I loved Brooks' stuff straight away when he joined Avenged, and Higher was one of the performances by him that blew me away. The subtle complicated simplicity of the main rhythm that looks like patting your head and rubbing your tummy at the same time but 10000 times harder. I especially love it during the outro. The music on this album really was genius and Brooks' drumming is such a huge part of it and just has a perfect place in every song as an accompaniment or a main feature. And you nailed this. Absolutely formidable.
So true man! Thanks so much!!!😀✌️👊
No freaking way! The best drum song off their new album has been covered! I'm adding this to my favorites, amazing work Matt.
Thanks man! Mine too! ;) Lots of practice went into this one! Appreciate it a ton my friend!!!
The way you were moving and playing during Syn's solo of the song was so like fluid and awesome, amazing cover!
Thanks! That part was definitely a challenge! Appreciate your comment man!! ✌️👌
Fantastic drumming, Matt, and you got some serious chops. So focused and right on the groove.
Man, you use a lot of cameras and your video has so many angles from which to view your drumming.
Congrats on the 1k subs.
Thanks so much Sal, glad you liked it!!:D And awesome to have you as a subscriber! :)

Amazingly performed, some places are out of tempo but nothing you didn't pick up on and fix right away.

Impressive performance, Matt. Enjoyed every second from start to finish. Great video editing and great tight drumming. The sound is even nice on my crappy laptop speakers, so I assume the mix is very well done ;) Congrats, man.

You're welcome! ;) Have an awesome day Matt!!
I've been waiting for a good cover of this song. That bass pedal work was fantastic. probably one of the hardest bass rhythms out there.
Thank you Hunter! Glad you liked it! Definitely took some effort getting the mix and my playing decent enough for a cover! :) ✌️
Matt Grubbs Glad to see you take the time to reply to your viewers. Rock on man and keep up the good work.🤘

... Here I am then to mention and state how "ferocious" you have shown in this work ... I hope that this hiatus of time that you were missing was for a good cause ... Great return!👐✌👊
Haha well thank you!! Yes it was a good cause. Had a week long gig and relocated the drum studio where I teach. Covers will be more frequent from now on! Thank you, and see you on the next one!! :-))

Wait! Are those flams on the double kicks?? Crazy good. I love those crisp hats too
Thanks! It's a herta rhythm. Spent a good deal of time getting that clean in my playing and mix. The mix of the track itself is pretty dense in those spots. Probably will be posting a drums only version soon. :)
Great production Matt. Well played too!
