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.
100% this. It's so disappointing when people are technically perfect but completely fail to transmit any form of emotion in their covers. This guy clearly doesn't have this problem, he's living the shit out of the song as he's playing it.
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.
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
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 👍
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
Wow! I remember when this song first came out. I was in college. It was a huge hit. That BP drummer was pretty good on that first album. Great job on the cover!
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!
cool man.. this is a really innnovative band... i always liked them ever since i heard one of their songs on my Playstation 2 snowboarding game years ago... SSX 2 i think it was had a bloc party song and a song by We are Scientiests another cool indy rock band.

Supreme! Boy, You Play Great, I Am Not A Drum Player, But I Know That This Is A Hard Job, And You, You Put More Than Just A Beat In The Song, You Act Like The Emotion Is Over All Your Body, It's Should Feels Nice. Also, This Song, "Banquet" Makes Me Feel Much Better At Anytime, Here Is From Brazil, Just Keep Doing This Great Job

Same...i bought a drum kit with 13 years...never visited a drum school...just learning by doing...
Killed it, buried it, placed flowers on it then shit on it. Amazing job man.
ahahahahahahahhahahaha
That's oddly specific.
I’ve been watching this for 10 years 😂 never gets old. I love it!!!!
Still 🔥💯
Ahah same... i keep coming back
Just discovered this and I guess I will be coming back as well!
Jerez what playback setting you got it on?
Old is Gold
Crazy I’ve been watching this for over a decade. This cover is not only the best Bloc Party cover but the best drum cover on UA-cam. Gets me so amped
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 ;)
Gingers rule!
he played it so well. had fun to it also.
This ginger does have soul
lilly g oh shit I remember that vid
You re right Eric ;)

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
Best drummer on UA-cam
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

You gotta be flashy to be in a band unfortunately
@@patrickwhipple3097 wrong band m8.

Flawless, I love how he stands up at the end cause he knows he nailed it.
The fills starting at 2:18 are just pure perfection😍
Matt Tong is one of the greatest drummer's I've ever seen live. You totally did this justice
The song is a masterpiece from Bloc Party, and you're playing the drums with perfection!!
The ginger force is strong in this one.
Good you are!
This drum cover is still on top of the pile!
Crazy what a difference being a top tier drummer makes for this beat. Smashed it!
Never noticed how the drum on this music is fire, and this guy just killed it :o
¡El chefsito también toca la bataca! Drum-attuille!!!
Chefsito era la rata :l
I’ve always listened to this song thinking the timing sounded so insane and then I just watched this and omggggg this is so amazing
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 👍
Thats awesome
what a plug
He absolutely kills this song
you are ace, i wish you were the drummer in my band. very well done!
The best drum cover of this song on YT, period. I am not even a drummer, but your composure and timing are inspiring
This by far has got to be the most perfect drum cover of any song that I’ve have ever heard.
That is honestly the best hi hat I have ever heard
I don't know what's better - your drum-skills or your plain terrific taste of music.
When he just walked off like a G, I lost my shit lol. Good stuff
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
You nailed it and that takes some doing. Brilliant work. Respect.
That was seriously amazing - imagine Matt Tong having to play that as part of a gig with all the other amazing tracksa - pure genius
Nice work Holmes!!!
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
