"BOMBING MISSION" Drum Jam (Final Fantasy VII)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 кві 2020
- A few months back I got a session offer to track drums for this cover of "Bombing Mission" (from #FinalFantasy 7) by a gentleman named Erik Grimell. I'd never even heard the original version of the song at the time, but the demo he made sounded sick, & I had just enough time to squeeze in learning / tracking one additional song. So I took the session, & HERE IT IS!
I'm not gonna lie ya'll - I've never even played a Final Fantasy game, & I have absolutely no idea what they're about. I just thought it was a rad tune, & since I could fit it in along with everything else I had goin' on, figured why not. It's my understanding that this game has been re-released recently (which I believe is what prompted Erik to do the cover), & a whole bunch of people seem really stoked about it. If YOU are one of those people & were already familiar with this song, I hope you dig it! If you're not... well, I hope you enjoy it anyway! (LOL)
Lastly - Erik had engineer named Andre Alvinzi handle the mix. Andre chose to blend samples into the drums (which is fairly obvious, in my opinion). Ya'll already know that I personally prefer a more natural sound (well, heavily processed, but natural none the less), especially for drum videos (!). But with session work, I leave it entirely up to the artist / engineer. It's their song, & I am essentially doing a job. So I let them do whatever makes them happiest. That said, I always like to keep it transparent with you all, so if there's ever any sample blending / replacement like there is here, I will say so in the video description. & I'm not hating on the mix (for the record!), it surely sounds great! Just a bit less organic than my stuff normally sounds.
Plus, I take a lot of pride in always getting the best natural drum sounds that I possibly can, & quite enjoy the process. So I had to make note of all that. Andre still did a killer job of course, & the end result is rad!

As always, thanks for watching! I've got a whole bunch of videos on deck, so I'll be uploading a bit more regularly for awhile. So stay tuned! (AND, stay safe! Strange time in the world right now - hope you're all staying safe & healthy!).
I will always respect percussionists that actively read sheet music.
One of my favorite drummers playing a song from one of my favorite games! 😍
That's EXACTLY what I wanted to write !
Same this is dope
everytime I hear your snare my ears regenerate a little bit...
I'd love to hear this exact comment if you were there in the same room with no hearing protection... 😆🤯
@@sega.milkis then my ears would probably degenerate and bleed but still would be awesome
It's actually the Lars signature snare. 66Samus once said, "if you hate Lars, then I hate you!" I would love to see some haters' reactions to this coming from a Lars Ulrich snare.
@@sammyloehnis3373 I have Lars signature snare in my garage, it’s a trashcan
Never understood how anyone could “thumbs down” any of Alex’s videos. Man is a true master at his craft. Keep killing it Alex!!! 👌
I was hoping for Blasting Mission
3:25 😉
Didn't know I could develop more respect for this guy...
a litte disappointed to not see that Zoom-In at 3:15 when that snare was reversed to make a bigger impact ... :P
Amazing video as always! :D
LOL, I was so close to including it... guess I should've 😂😂😂. & thanks homie!
Sup, bro?
Here I am trying to understand what the reverse is lol
@@antiherovalor if you listen closely, you can hear that the snare hit waa reversed and placed before the actual hit, giving it that swelling effect.
Holy fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck I didn't know I needed a metal version of this song until now
I don’t understand why this didn’t show up as some sort of recommendation for me. I’m literally always looking up Final Fantasy 7 covers lol
Sick as always man!
That was so amazing 😭 well done!
dude great drumming as always!!!
This is rad, drums sound huge!
Sick playing as always dude!
Smashed the like button, before even a single beat. Awesome stuff 👍👍👍☮☮☮

OMG that double bass kit ! Looks so epic to play
Great performance, Man!

This is my favourite game.
Glad you did this. And I liked you already.
Bravo! Floor toms really caught my attention at the beginning :)
This is amazing ! Perfect drummer for one of the most perfect games ever !
DUDE.... yes. So good.
Love these video game videos that you’ve been doing. You do an awesome job of not overplaying it and making the parts interesting and fitting to the song. Especially loved the Mario Kart jam!
Can't get enough of this. x___X Been listening to it for 2 days now.
amazing work alex
What a player! So accurate. So good. Mind = blown :O
Epic!!
Yesssss!!! I always knew you were the chosen one but goddamn this solidifies your place in glory within every nerds books!!! 🔥🔥🔥 I think because of your greatness we can let it slide you knowing nothing about the games, but damn dude, get with the program. Haha.
Like allways, aaawesome,Alex!!!
👏👏👏👏 Great Work, Great sound
I love it Rudi. 😍
gooooooooooood work!
Haha nice dude, that was sick. I've never played Final Fantasy either, but I thought I'd heard some of the music... I'm gonna have to check again because I didn't know FF7 was so metal! I guess this is a cover so it could be really different but I gotta check it out now.
dopeee, we need more video game covers! this and your mario kart 64 11/8 jam are totally killer
Dude! Speechless. I do want to say when I first played FF7 on the psx something about the music commanded my attention and the aesthetics of the game had a role too. 10/10
Epic!!! 1:56 total crash destruction
Extreme Great aaand Professional drumming and Extremely Stunning and Pro drum setup :D \m/
Owesome
Man it is awesome to hear/see that I am not the only one who jams out to their favorite game tracks. Excellent content as always, keep it coming!
Read desc 😁
Love the toms on this kit.
YUSS FFVII THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS
Dude, this is awesome. I’m a big fan of FF7 and this was a treat to listen to.
The tuning of these toms are amazing
DUUDDEEE THAT SOUNDS REALLY HUUUUGGGEEEEEEE I LIKE ITT
Omg this is so fucking great! I love all your vids man and I'm a massive fan off ff7
This last week I got the GGD Alex pack AND FF7, so this video is hitting me perfect! 👌🏻
Oh my God this is the first I've heard any partial bit of the remakes soundtrack. I've never been so hyped in my life.
NICE!
brilliant
Excelente Brother...
SO SICK
so sick
I’ve always had trouble with my transitions. You make it look second nature. 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻
So underated
Diggin the 2 bass drums man.
The only thing i might hit better than Alex is the like button. Amazing playing as always, Alex!
Love you Alex!
FFVII is a classic!!! And it's about time they did a re release. Ive played ff since tje beginning. Awesome job!!!!!!
This is an awesome cover along with stellar drumming as always. For some great prog rock/metal, I recommend checking out Nobuo Uematsu's project The Black Mages - he was the composer on much of the Final Fantasy series and started a band to re-imagine many of the songs from the games. It's great stuff!
I finished FFVII on iOS today ... and I find this ... what are the odds ! Love it !
Bro you need to do a "Doom Eternal" cover from one the songs of the soundtrack! You will kill it!
He'll kill demons with it.
@@icipher6730 Totally
Raw power and sKills !!!!
E P I C !
Nice.
approved!
Prelude Bombfare by Haunted shores.. anyone?
Nipun Kulshrestha the OG
Yesssssirrrr
Great video. You should play these games man there’s some sick OST’s you could do drum covers to too.
Siiiiiick (as always)
Bombing mission with the hand and feet!! Really like the fact you make the set sound so natural with no trigger and stuff. (Yes, your kicks are loyal)
Haha, thanks man. & read the video description - these drums *are* sample blended. Generally, my videos never are, but a different engineer than usual mixed this & it was for a session job, so it was their call. If there are ever samples blended into my drums, I state it in the video description (like I've done for this one). Personally, I feel like you can tell that these drums are sample blended (Lol). I don't love it for a drum video mix, but it is what it is. Still sounds good, no doubt. At any rate, thanks for the kind words!
Alex Rüdinger Boy o boy! I’ve been watching and listening you for years and thought it was sort of a trademark. Didn’t read the description this time, true.
Keep it up Alex, great to watch every time.
@@KobusGevelspar I mean, typically it sort of is. I've always taken a lot of pride in keeping things as natural as possible, & 90% of my uploads are that way. That's why if there is any sample reinforcement, I state it in the description like I've done here. I got nothin' to hide 😂. Anyway, thanks for the kind words!
awesome job Alex !!! you are the best drummer in this planet.... oh wait you are not human... okay you maybe the best drummer on the galaxy =)
Essa versão metalizada ficou foda hein!!!
Fuck yeah, man... More like this!
This was great. And now I want to listen to Nevermore.
Unfortunately, this wasn't a game I grew up with (my favourite was FFIV.) I couldn't help but headbang when it dropped though. Great stuff!
Siiiiiiick!
very good shit
I needed this in my life. Go play the remake Alex. It came out a few days ago.
OOOOOH YURRRRRR
When 3:15 hits all I can think of is the hilarious video effect that was on it at one point
