    Your review of Chads take on The Kill was by FAR the best, most detailed, most thoughtful and most entertaining of the 10+ I’ve watched. Glad I subbed to be back for this one. Great comments again. I - like you - was just holding on for that double bass extravaganza he gave us at the end 😂😂😂of

    They also did a longer interview with him where he explained why he plays with tape and gloves.
    In short (from memory): he started at Megadeth without and ended up on tour with blisters and wounds on his hand to the point where they had to cancel a show due to him being unable to play. So he started to protect his hands that he doesn't cause this anymore.

    • @coversandcommentary
      @coversandcommentary  3 місяці тому +10

      Interesting. I used to get blisters, but they eventually turned into calluses. I guess I have never played on Megadeth levels!

    He gave the song a completely different feeling. Amazing to see what a huge difference a drum track can make.

    As someone who was never interested in drums, and got the Drumeo videos randomly recommended by UA-cam, the entire series has been an eye-opening experience into the experience of drumming and music in general.
    Every video, and I mean EVERY VIDEO, in the playlist, teaches me something about drumming, whether it's something technical, or more about the mindset and attitude. Even those who didn't perform as well when faced with playing a completely unknown track while being recorded, displayed professionalism and a mentality of willing to try out new stuff and learn.
    Truly a series worth watching, even for those who don't play the drums. And your breakdowns on them are some of the most instructive I've seen. There are plenty of other reactions, but they tend to focus on the drummers talking about mindset and approach to music, without explaining what's happening in the way a layperson can understand.
    Would love to see more of these!

    Dirk picked up exactly where the drum should step up and where it should fall back.
    if you have a voice taking the lead, LEAVE THE VOICE to do it's thing!
    when the voice leaves, that's when you go all out!

    Honestly think I like Dirk’s version more. Obviously there could be some tune-ups and new things added, but the variability of the drums brings a whole new emotion and vibe to the song.
    It feels darker, less poppy, more emotional. I really dig it. Also loving all of your reactions so far. Definitely earned a sub 🤙🏼

  • @billwong553

    If no one has mentioned it before - Dirk is most well known in the metal community for his work with Soilwork, but has also been sessioning for The Project Hate's last few albums, on top of a million more (never enough drummers, right?). He has his own technique for blast beats coined as the "Dirk Blast". Check out some Soilwork - basically anything prior to like 2010, I guess.

Great to hear you take more on, subscribed and ill be along for the ride, I’m sure your list is long but anything by Larnell Lewis with Snarky puppy is great, and I would love to hear your take. Lingus or we like it here would be my top two. He learned the songs on the plane over to fill in for their drummer. Just amazing

    The first Drumeo video I ever watched was the Chad Smith one, which was fascinating and amazing.
    This was the 2nd Drumeo video I watched… and it blew my mind how much the drum line can completely alter the feeling and dynamic of a song. Also how he interpreted the song in a completely different way from never hearing it before and being allowed to create his own version.
    I’m not a drummer but I have a tremendous appreciation for their talent 🙌🏼
    My next Drumeo recommendation would be Darnell Lewis playing Enter Sandman! Hearing his intellectual breakdown of the song is great 👍🏼

    I saw this drum session for the first time on your channel... you are a knowledgeable young man. The Chad Smith video was an instance of true artistry... I am happy for Drumeo... Smith and the Peppers (not that they need recognition)... and for your channel maybe getting some subscribers. A rising tide lifts all ships
