I have not forgotten all of you! I can not thank you all enough for your continued support even while I was absent! I've read all of your comments while I was away and I just want to say, Thank you very much!! You all keep the fire going! I'm still planning to upload more videos as soon as I can!

Your attention to detail has not gone unnoticed. Wow. Many drummers covered this song and i have to say you have 100% hit this including the hi-hat during the verse. Great job man, i love all of your avenged covers. 🤘

[@APT0491]

Thank you very much Allan V! I wish i can upload this video with the audio but it was blocked.

[@allanv3237]

@@APT0491 No worries, I think the sound sometimes blocks peoples mistakes or off-timing anyways so its nice to hear a pure drum cover and play the song along in my head!

[@DrakeMcDz]

@@APT0491 I love that it’s drums only. Not only does it appeal to the non-drummers because it’s so well done, but us drummers can hear every dit and dat. Well played.

[@Philtoid]

drumming was perfect , kit sounds amazing. nice choice of camera angles and the editing and lighting was cool too. great job

Um, since no one's mentioned it lol, your calfs are as insane as your talent.
As a big A7X fan, I really enjoyed this!! Great job all around.

[@muajeng]

If you play the song on spoitfy at exactly 32 seconds, and play this video at 0:03 both tracking from right to left, the song will sync up perfectly when you hit play at the exact time for both the vid and spotify. Will have to play at it a little to get it within milliseconds : ) cheers! Great cover.

[@JohnWiIkesBooth]

How the hell is this so perfect??!!! I swear to god this guy had personal lessons from Mike Portnoy himself.

Great job man! It's always nice to see such amazing covers on yt. You're very talented, keep up the great work 🤘🏼

[@APT0491]

Thanks a lot BernoMaiden! Much appreciated!

[@BernoMaiden]

I was just counting how many mics and cameras you use haha.
Must be around 11-13 drum mics and like 7 cameras right?
That's a lot of work and i only use 7-8 mics and 3 cameras 😅

First off, well done! Now, as a fellow Paiste nut, seeing your kit confirms my frustration over their lack of mini-china offerings.

[@APT0491]

Thanks a lot James! I know! I wish they bring back the Twenty mini chinas. They're hard to find used nowadays!

[@idiotburns]

This was already amazing wo music behind it my fellow!!!! I sing to it alot lately!!

[@gustknot]

No puede sonar tan genial esa bateria!

[@MattewBlueMoon]

You deserve more views and followers

[@adrinaik93]

Amazing dude! The only thing that I would change is the tune of the snare, lowering it to get some more body and a bit of low end, but that’s a matter of taste :)

[@nzsouth1225]

i reckon this room is his happy place😁 no kids allowed unsupervised

[@anonymous_friend]

Great job man. I really like the octobons in the setup. Makes me want to get some. It would be cool if you did a demo on your recording setup and mixing process too because it sounds great. Are you using triggers at all?

[@APT0491]

Thanks a lot PJ Jackson! Perhaps I'll make a video about my set up one day!
Nope! i'm not using triggers at all. All drums were recorded with their natural sound. I just use EQ, compression, and a bit of reverb! Thanks for watching!

[@noobietagaming2154]

We need another video, man

[@beadboyplay1849]

Hello I saw that you make really good videos and also play very well, I also want to get a drum kit but I do not know what would be very good (I want to play metal) could you recommend me one?

[@APT0491]

Thanks a lot Beadboy Play! In my opinion, I recommend Tama Drums Starclassic! Either Birch/Bubinga, full Bubinga, Maple, or their newest line Birch/Walnut. Their sound is top notch and has plenty of volume when I played in a live gig! Their finishes really looks awesome under stage lights! Plus their hardware is strong and sturdy!
For drums that's great for the money, I would say check out Tama Superstar Classic, Pearl Exports, Yamaha Stage Custom, or Mapex Armory series. It's really up to you which one sounds the best for you. Thanks for watching and I hope this helps!

hola alexander, me gustan un monton tus videos, realmente no me gusta tanto el rock tan duro como a ti, me gusta mas el progresivo clasico y el jazz fusion...., pero eres un gran baterista, con mucha pegada y consistencia y me maravilla el sonido que sacas...., he comprado la misma bateria que tu, pero en otro color y tama me ha pintado el gong drum del mismo color, es una pasada..., estoy provando diferentes parches pero como te suena a ti de bien todavia no lo he conseguido...., me harias un gran fabor si en el futuro hicieras un video esplicando como lo haces o que tensiones usas..., imagino que usas el tension watch de tama, no?, me gusta tambien mucho como te suenan todos los platos, a mi tambien me gusta mucho paiste, todas las series te suenan muy bien...., bueno, espero que subas algo nuevo pronto y haber si hay suerte y haces un video sobre afinacion, creo que harias feliz a mucha gente que te sigue asi como a mi..., y algun solo de bateria estaria fenomenal.....vi tu facebook tambien...., espero que pongas fotos nuevas de la bateria y demas...., oye, que parches has puesto en los octobans?, son emperor 2 capas transparentes?, suenan divinos....
muchas gracias, espero oir algo de ti..., por cierto todas las cajas que usas son preciosas....., un saludo.
