Song: "Banquet" Artist: Bloc Party Album: "Silent Alarm" (2005) One of my favorites from my favorite band. This song has also been requested quite a few times. Hope you enjoy!
Essentially this guy displays the difference between knowing the right notes and actually understand what you are meaning to play. Not only did callen play the right notes but he understands what the song is about, the energy one should have whilst playing it and the vibe of the band. Fucking flawless.
He doesn't just play the song. He is in the music and that's passed right on to the way he drums. And always nice to see a fellow ginger rock out like this ;)
I’ve seen BP perform this with various drummers since Matt Tong left, including Sarah Jones. Although I think SJ did a good job and I’m a fan of her ability, I think this might be the closest recreation of the original. This guy nails the fills, is right in the pocket, and is fluid on the hi hat throughout. Just my opinion for what it’s worth.
This was my goal for drumming for so long. I finally cracked it thanks to this video and now use it as a warm up before sessions. Big thanks to this super awesome drummer for giving me the inspiration to achieve a dream 👍
So please enlighten me: why aren't YOU the new drummer for Bloc Party? They missed out big time by not letting you join! I've watched your clips over and over again and they simply never get less amazing.. Great job, don't ever stop because that is a great skill you've got there!!
@@patrickwhipple3097 Bloc Party has never been "flashy". Even nowadays, they are very introverted. Kele doesn't like interviews, Russel doesn't talk, ever.
@@marb1317 Lol even Matt wasn't all that flashy and still isn't flashy in Algiers. Obviously Matt's playing was flashy but his stage presence and personality weren't
I've watched this dozens of times and every time it's better and better. You are unbelievable and make me love this band more and more and make me a love you as an artist more and more
not only are you one of the best drummers i've viewed whos putting up covers, but your selection of tunes are also amazing. PROPS and i mean that haha LEGEND!

Killed it, buried it, placed flowers on it then shit on it. Amazing job man.

That's oddly specific.

i feel like when i see people cover it, its all about the passion and energy you really give it if you want it to be good
its a little bit in front of the pocket tbh, listen to the guitars.. its a hard song tho, he did an awesome job
I’ve been watching this for 13 years 😂 never gets old. I love it!!!!
The fills starting at 2:18 are just pure perfection😍

He absolutely kills this song
Mr. Tong would be proud.
Well i heard he quit the band, sarah jones came up replace his spot
Akmal Lutfi ew fuck her matt tong is better then lousie and sarah

¡El chefsito también toca la bataca! Drum-attuille!!!
Chefsito era la rata :l
Dude every cover you do is 100% perfect. You are ridiculously good drummer.
I must have watched this video over 20 times over the last 10 years - matt tongs original is genius - but Cal knocks it out the park
EXACTLY ITS INSANE

Matt Tong is one of the greatest drummer's I've ever seen live. You totally did this justice
That is honestly the best hi hat I have ever heard
When he just walked off like a G, I lost my shit lol. Good stuff
The ginger force is strong in this one.
Good you are!
Seventeen.
Thanks for watching!
A terrible beginner kit by the brand "peace". It's basically a non-brand "peace" of junk.
Might have new drums soon though...
Thanks for commenting!
You have probably replaced those drums but you made then sound so great

The song is a masterpiece from Bloc Party, and you're playing the drums with perfection!!
This by far has got to be the most perfect drum cover of any song that I’ve have ever heard.
