No Excuses Drum Cover

[@ComaAlpha]

that looks confusing. I'm glad I play guitar now. Awesome job.

[@ben_jamin78]

Dude, that's the best drum cover of this song i've heard....

[@curbdog85]

Thanks!

[@Russovox]

Exactly

[@kurdtjohn]

Fuckin' nailed it

[@sfpincchicago]

Especially since the camera is positioned properly - behind the drummer, so you can see his hands and feet.

[@DutchNewbJr]

Diogo Ferreira youtube channel has a even better one

[@puppetmaster8551]

Great cover, also Sean is one of the most underrated drummers ever. This song may not have the most technically insane drums but imo it’s some of the best drums ever written, fits so perfectly with Jerry’s music and totally elevates the song. Sean has always known how to perfectly write his drums to match Jerry’s music.

[@taylorcain1693]

Amen! It blends in so smooth. Main reason probably he's underrated. People don't realize how good he was.

[@renatomihic1675]

It is said that drummer makes or breaks a good unplugged gig… Being that their unplugged is the best that ever happened, I think I don’t need to speak any further…

[@cosmic_JAV]

Some of the most beautiful drums ever composed... Excellent job on the cover !!

[@scooterPEI]

Great timing and one for the best drum song intros of the 90’s

[@xzdead]

Congratulations, great performance, video and sound. I have learnt the song watching your video so many thanks!

[@LottiDotti76]

Damn man, you were so deep in the pocket you had to have found a shit ton of loose change! Top notch stuff!

[@burnthemachine1021]

Your snare and toms sound fantastic.

[@williamkampert1475]

Sean Kinney would watch this with a grin from start to finish. Well done sir.

[@jasoncutter7055]

PERFECT....ever since seeing unplugged i wanted to view the entire drum track being played...awesome job...makes me want to play again just for this song...

[@DRUMMERMIKE]

so underrated man, best cover of this song ive seen on youtube. new sub added

[@MegaMikeArnold]

An outstanding version imho because of your grasp of the technical aspects of that groove, your time and the sound you're getting out of the first two Tom's and your splashes. Thanks for a great job that's been most helpful to me. Please share the exact size of those 3 Tom's up top and the batter and resonant heads you're using.

[@curbdog85]

toms are 8x7, 10x8, and 12x9. at the time, i used Remo Emperor Coated on the batter side, and Remo Ambassador clear on the resonant side. I've since switched to Evans Heads. For tuning, check out Gavin Harrison 19 days: ua-cam.com/video/LMGGE2AdGZY/v-deo.html

[@krispynachos9980]

One of my fave drum grooves ever

[@jakeshriver6941]

Wow! Made it look easy. That is when they are good!!!

[@thesheep84]

Great job dude !!! You are quite a drummer...thanks for sharing !

[@kencam5621]

Thats drumming! I want to make a kit like that!

[@aidansgaming550]

Great sound

[@9th-Circle]

Damn, those sound good. What kind of drums are those?

[@curbdog85]

pdp x7

[@ariesram74]

Great job! I love the drums on this song. That tom pattern and the splashes are awesome! Sounds great!

[@BrandonMatthewHB]

I think a piccolo snare and you've got the best cover out there.

[@justinhainley9663]

Absolutely terrific. It looks and sounds like it would be difficult but you made it look so easy. Keep up the great work 👍

[@layneinchains4047]

6 years late... but man that was freakin’ awesome!!!

[@brianaustin2104]

Excellent sound mix. I learned how to play this song by watching your video.

[@bradapotamus]

great cover of a great song.

[@michaellance6627]

really tight dude! thanks for posting this.

[@lucianocarrio1736]

the sound of those tombs is great

[@Gpep4]

You make it look so easy and yet demonstrate the non trivial beauty of this drum work. Loved it!

[@bubblebreeze1635]

No wonder I was losing time when trying to play this. I was missing the snare between the two high toms. I would try tom 1 2, then bass and it would always be off. Thanks for the video, its one of my favorite drum covers I've watched!

[@matthewtownsend2368]

Played guitar 30 yrs. Drums is the hardest instrument Good job!

[@rama409]

you are the real good one! on the intro

[@pajamassessions1538]

Really good execution!

[@Revbone450]

The main melody of this song is the greatest rhythm to ever come from Grunge.

[@zackamania6534]

Very light and punchy. Great replication of the tone!

[@jadengraham276]

That was tight! Killer video!

[@LittleDrummerChannel]

Nicely done...great timing and feel! Cheers!!

[@danielpotiguara5635]

Just perfect. 🤯

[@101mullet]

Brilliant. Well done!

[@sebastianluceroacevedo4394]

Best cover of this song on YT 🙌

[@mercertj]

You absolutely nailed this cover! Bravo! 🤘🤘

[@jnewsom1979]

Made my day, very very nice sir!

[@deanodebo]

Thanks for this. Very impressive

[@pamellwood7621]

This just goes to prove I can still be intrigued by a drum cover other than one made by a long haired woman with large breasts. Good job my dude keep rockin!

[@bobby_D]

This is amazing. I love this shit. Dude is so good.

[@jerrodmeixner5809]

Great job! Thanks for posting.

[@emanueleportolani5549]

This is what perfection looks like! Awesome! 💪💪

[@deadybrock]

I've always thought this was a crazy drum beat but you made it look effortless

[@evannicholson8379]

Flawless

[@alexandrepessoa2931]

I'm a beginner, will try to learn this song with this art tks !

[@sabien2578]

My dream track to drum to. This helps immensely thank you

[@spidermight8054]

Holy shit! That’s it! Badass!

[@dagconst1]

Awesome

[@ziel8602]

NUMBER ONE RULE OF THIS SONG. Those quad notes on the high hat in the beginning, play single handedly as a short buzz roll.

[@ziel8602]

And before the comments section jumps on me, Im just giving some constructive criticism, i'm not being mean

[@curbdog85]

No offense taken - I appreciate the feedback. It's actually a triplet, not a quad. The fourth note is the eighth note after the triplet. I agree that the original recording sounds like single stroke 16th note triplets. It was easier for me to play a RRL triplet and get back to my right hand on the hi-hat eighth notes. YMMV. Thanks for watching!

[@VinylGrafX]

Well done 👍

[@duboseq1]

Perfect!

[@donbelle7171]

Your the first person I’ve ever seen do it correctly !!!! Great job!!!

[@lynsuefa]

Lots of effort went in to making this video, and it payed off. Great job.

[@camelcase9225]

This is awesome. Nice pocket.

[@josephfetz1748]

I am always curious when I look at the upvotes and downvotes of a particular video, who in the hell downvotes a video like this?

[@garrettfaught5136]

Damn good

[@donnykohler7208]

Very good 😊

[@giovannibinazzi8725]

Wow!! The best cover of this song on youtube so far!! Great job man!!😎🤘

[@mikekosokowsky4076]

Curbdog, that was absolutely fantastic.

[@derikandreoli5177]

You look familiar, lol. Great playing, great tones. What a great drum drum composition!

[@faithwilds]

I have been playing this song for years, I love the way you have the camera set up. This is a great tutorial set. Best cover I have ever heard. Got any other songs?

[@brunooka]

flawless

[@t4m4s78]

Not a musician, first drum cover I ever watched. Just wanted to see what's really going on there in this song, normally videos of the band don't give this insight. Thanks!

[@POLLOSdeMONTE]

excelente interpretación!!! Simplemente grandioso!

[@GGMattt]

Love this track and this drum beat really sticks out for me, it sounds so happy and fun to play :)
I'm not a drummer but I've always wanted to try, I do play guitar though. Nice cover!

[@joshshosh8263]

That was truly impressive, you actually helped me out a lot I’ve been trying to figure out my positioning and this helped a lot

[@brianleduke7536]

Well done.

[@SteelHorseRiders]

Nice!

[@clintawnbomb]

Nice Dreams...gotta few myself. Love em!

[@dougdale5460]

Nice job!

[@chrisfoster3349]

Spot on man!! Great job!!!

[@Revbone450]

Drum tracks and entire songs like this are PROOF that cannabis can greatly enhance the creative process. NO WAY was that drum track conceived by a sober person :D
Great performance too OP!

[@cosmic_JAV]

Takes a damn good musician to drum to music that Jerry Cantrell and Lyane wrote

[@LeadFrog]

I wish I could play like this 😪

[@russellarmentrout5180]

nice work ! well represented, refreshing, all the so called players that posted their version of the drum track should be humbled

[@cosmic_JAV]

Man those Remos be sounding good AF

[@mrmagoo8956]

Mmmmmm🤗

[@mtr2869]

Very nice.

[@ap118.]

Yessssss!

[@julienolan5695]

Amazeballs

[@andrewmullin3625]

Flawless 👌

[@cocoluco54]

Sounds good

[@jeremy782]

Tuff technical beat, ya dun well.

[@Rvzoo310]

Awesome job, sounds great! What kind of China cymbal is that next to your ride?

[@jwildman95bamf]

Nice job incorporating that mini china into the fills. I've no clue how sean made that sound on this album because I don't think he ever used a mini china

[@cosmic_JAV]

I think he he used a Splash and the side of his stick if I had to guess... I'm probably wrong but if you're sure he didn't use a China that would be my guess

[@vagnermartins5337]

MARAVILHOSO.

[@ThatOddGarage]

so awesome! How did you kill the drum track on the original song?

[@curbdog85]

I found a drum-less version somewhere on the Internet. But the external disk I had it all stored on has crashed - no backup. DOH!

[@ThatOddGarage]

No bueno! Loved your work though! Gives me something to emulate during practice

[@grilledspaghetti]

This song always confused me listening as a non drummer. You make it look easy.

[@challica]

Great work!

[@mattperkins7038]

nailed it!

[@fabiodeadeo]

Hard! 😅

[@czgator9000]

Nice drum set by the way. I know nothing about drums but love how great drummer can add so much to music. I don't know if you are familiar with Neil Peart from Rush; if not you should check him out. His drum set is custom made from really old wood but he said in an interview that he likes to strip down to just the basic set sometimes, even though he does like the synthetic/electronic gadgets too. Good luck and keep playing!

[@joelmarksbury4376]

Asking a drummer if they know Neil Peart is like asking a guitar player if they've heard of Jimi Hendrix.

[@cosmic_JAV]

@@joelmarksbury4376 lol after rush check out this little band named Led Zeppelin they have a heavy handed drummer think he goes by "Bozo"

[@gabegarcia4148]

nice work sir

[@dogukansirkecioglu9211]

bro it felt different because it is not like dat dat dat dat . The space between the note are perfect.

[@brendanmcg8566]

So tasty man, excellent job

[@matthewtownsend2368]

I’ve played guitar for 30 yrs. Just bought a drum kit. It’s tough

[@davidtrippett3374]

Solid!

[@kevinhigh8161]

man 25 people cant play this is why there is 25 dislikes hahaha. bro you nailed it
