That sounded mint! Alex has the strangest and one of the most unique drumming styles. Absolutely one of the most underrated rock drummers of our time. He is an amazing drummer. You're not too shabby yourself Tom. He's a tough act to follow. Great job Bud!
Alex is just as amazing on his drums as Eddie was on his guitar 🙏🏻 this made me wanna pick up my guitar! Now that's good drumming;) very good cover 💯💯💯
Wow, really, I don't comment on many YT videos, but, fantastic job!! Your skills are incredible, always loved this song, the drums, the riff, everything about it, you do incredible justice to it, and absolutely love the hybrid kit, sounds awesome, bravo, sir!!
Thanks a lot for the huge compliments, Patrick! 😊 This means a lot, especially if you normally don’t respond to YT videos! 🤘😄 In my opinion, this is on of the most underrated Van Halen tracks.
@@marlonmcdonaldproject600 For most drummer nowadays the focus is mainly on speed and chops. Nothing wrong with that, but personally I love drummers with groove and playing for the song. Luckily there’s Alex 😝
@@TomDrums Absolutely! Newer drummers are technically great players. But yeah I’m all about groove, tightness and having that power as well 💪🏽 that’s what I try to go for when I play drums 👌🏽
Never realized that the drumming was this complex. Typical VH. Complex composition, yet it feels like a rocker. Nice work! Any chance of taking on "outta love"? ;)
Thanks a lot! 🤘 I realized the difficult parts only when I sat down to study them. It took me a lot longer than planned😊 “Outta Love” is a tough one also, maybe I will look into it someday 😅
Why the hate for the Electronic Drum Kits? They’ve come a long way in quality, sound, and experience. This E-Kit totally captured and duplicated the AVH ‘Brown Sound’ on that Snare! I ask you, “If an E-Drum Kit isn’t ’Real Drums’, then by that logic, an Electric Guitar…is not a ‘Real Guitar’? Right?!😮 I have an Alesis Strike Pro with Triple Modules, 20 Electronic Drum Shells, 19 Active Cymbals, with even an Electronic Cowbell 😂! Sometimes I play ALL Active (Full Electronic Shells and Cymbals), sometimes Hybrid 1 (Active Shells with Acoustic Cymbals), or Hybrid 2 (Acoustic Shells with Active Cymbals), and finally yanking ALL Active Instruments off of my Rack and replacing them with one of my many Acoustic Kits. All the different Set-Ups are enjoyable, and a blast to play. With the realistic sizes and materials, it’s hard to remember if I’m on the E-Kit or one of the many Acoustic Kits Just never understood the E-Kit hate.
You’re right about that. I listened several times to it at home and in the car. But only after I broke it down, I found out that it wasn’t that easy as it sounded. Good job, Alex 😄
That was an awesome performance my man! Loved how you selected a bell on one oz your crash zones, right? Also loved how your studio turned and yeah... I also loooove watching ypur kit being played!;) happy to start off my day with this video!
Thanks for the compliment! 🤘 I use Roland e-cymbals, and the mesh-heads are triggered with an internal trigger. All is hooked to an old Roland TD12, and I use EZDrummer 2 as vst :)
@@TomDrums I totally understand, When something is in straight time no one ever counts. But when it’s in odd time you have to go by “feel”, unless you’ve learned how to count which can make playing odd time easier so you know where 1 is

Thanks a lot for the compliment! 😊 He is indeed a unique and one of kind drummer, he stands out from all the speed and chops kind of drummers.
AVH is a favorite. His unique sound and timing, I think it’s because of playing with a guitarist instead of the bassist his early years.
Alex Van Halen would be proud of this cover. BTW, this is one of my dad’s favorite Van Halen songs
Thanks for the huge compliment! 😊. Your dad has a great taste in music! 😄🤘
@@TomDrums Tom I can't stop watching your Alex Van Halen Drum Covers every song exceptional...
My fav Alex drums ever
Agree! It's a fantastic one of a kind Alex beat 👍
Alex is a beast on a massive kit and this is a great cover on a 4 piece. Awesome job 💯🤙🏻
Thanks a lot!😊 When I see Alex’ kits over the years, it’s mindblowing how he was able to play them like he did.
One of the best! 🤘
Alex is just as amazing on his drums as Eddie was on his guitar 🙏🏻 this made me wanna pick up my guitar! Now that's good drumming;) very good cover 💯💯💯
Thanks a lot! 😊 Alex drumming was the perfect match for Eddie. It fitted like a glove.

Got swing and power. Nice rip

Well done Sir!
Thank you very much! 😊
Awesome drum cover man! You nailed it 👌🏽👊🏽😎 AVH is one of my favourite drummers
Thanks for the compliment! 😊
Alex is way underrated! His feel is one of a kind.
@@TomDrums Very underrated. Still one of the best rock/metal drummers to this day! he’s still even better than the younger new metal drummers lol 👍🏽

In my favs. Damn you did a great job!
Thanks a lot Danah, much appreciated! 😎🤘
Excellent playing! This song has some awesome drums in it, and you nailed it, dude. Well done, rock on!! 🤘🤘
Thanks a lot, Mike! 👍🤘
You deserve more subs man. Well done!
Thanks a lot Ryan! Luckily, my channel is just for fun so I'm happy with every sub :)
tbh i despise e-kits but with the sounds your using plus your amazing playing this is a great cover!
Thank you for your nice comment 🤘😊
If it was up to me, I’d play only on my acoustic kit. Unfortunately the neighborhood doesn’t feel the same way 😅

You make it look easy.
I spend some time figuring out the different sections and parts, but I'm happy it looks easy 😄. Thanks! :)
Badass! 🇺🇸 Happy Independence Day😁
You don’t ever know how extremely complex a drummers instrumental part can be until you visually see it up close.
You’re right about that. I listened several times to it at home and in the car. But only after I broke it down, I found out that it wasn’t that easy as it sounded. Good job, Alex 😄
That was an awesome performance my man! Loved how you selected a bell on one oz your crash zones, right? Also loved how your studio turned and yeah... I also loooove watching ypur kit being played!;) happy to start off my day with this video!
Thanks a lot for the compliment! Indeed I selected a bell on the bow side of the crash. Normally this is just a ride sound. Have a great day! :)
Killer playing! but i'm curious what kind of hybrid like drum set up you have going on?
Thanks for the compliment! 🤘 I use Roland e-cymbals, and the mesh-heads are triggered with an internal trigger. All is hooked to an old Roland TD12, and I use EZDrummer 2 as vst :)
Great cover. Why the electronic cymbals with an acoustic kit?
Thanks for the compliment! The kit is entirely electronic :)
I’ve converted an acoustic set using internal triggers.
@@TomDrums What are triggers? I've read about them but now sure what they do.
Super underrated song
Absolutely!
Yea tom like it heaps old mate
1000%
Great job 😂lol. Keep rocking
😘
the main riff is in what time?
Oh man, that's a good question! I have no idea to be honest.
I play it by feel and don't count it. This is bad, I know 😄
@@TomDrums I totally understand, When something is in straight time no one ever counts. But when it’s in odd time you have to go by “feel”, unless you’ve learned how to count which can make playing odd time easier so you know where 1 is
Yes i agree arondunlap 7004
Wow...! Couldn't think of anything else to say.. holey shit.. fuck.. monster👍🤘😀
Haha, thanks a lot for the kind words! 🤘😊
the vintage kit is not the one i would choose for this "modern " song
Alex' sound and feel on this track is so unique, basically nothing else fits :)
Please consider uploading just your playing - no song track
That's not a bad idea! First I have to check if I still have the track saved somewhere seperately 😅
