Oh man, Eminem did a decent job covering an Adam Gray original.
Richard Abidor lol
Everyone bitching about this playing in this video and too many ghost notes and fills and too flashy, like some actual smart people mentioned, he's playing the eminem's actual raps and the accents in his rap and the flow in his rap, rapping has a rythmn in the flow and he matched that shit perfectly with amazing musicianship. This is amazing musicianship and timing and awareness to translate this fast flowing rap to the drum set to perfection while still adding his style to it. If you want a basic backbeat to the song, just listen to the normal album version with a drum machine behind it.
THANK YOU!
I hear you, but.. how do you drum an accent? ^^
Andy Ham Not the accent in his English. In drumming and music, an accented note is one that is emphasised/played louder. So when he hits a cymbal really hard, most of the time it's also in time with when Eminem may yell something louder.
Alright, I get you!
Couldn't have said it better myself. 👌
If you think this lacks rhythm, try focusing on the lyrics. He comped almost every single syllable when he wasn't shedding over the instrumental! I would gladly watch this dude destroy his kit to a song or not! Definitely one of the best drummers out there and I'm so glad he's been able to put more studio quality videos out!
AJK Productions exactly. His pace adjust to Ems pace. Not the crazy techno style beat lol. The bass is what the rapper generally flows to, not the random noises and other elements to pull the instrument together.
instead of throwing negative comments out at adam gray, why not just reply with a link to your cover.... the skill he shows in this cover is insane. great job Adam, you are a huge inspiration to me and my drumming
EviLLivE Gaming
The point is if this shit isnt difficult for you than make a fuckin video showing you're amazing talent instead of making dumbass comments on youtube.
i need to re-evaluate my drum life after watching this
In fact!!!!!!!
Facts
#1 - any negative comment on this video is most likely by a non-drummer because most drummers will know that the way Adam Gray moves around the kit is way above and beyond a "normal" drummer. I feel that his mind puts things together is a much more different and complex way than most drummers I've seen (myself included); and #2 - this guy, my friends, is why Luke Holland chose "Hook, Line, and Sinner" as the first cover that he posted, which began his ascendancy into UA-cam fame and ultimately his joining The Word Alive, as well as a slew of other things and I'm sure much more to come...though Adam Gray, I feel, cannot be bested.
An old band I was in opened for Texas In July a couple years ago and that whole band was some of the nicest and most genuine people I have ever been fortunate enough to share a stage with...Adam Gray was at the top of that list for me, probably considering that we, as drummers, gravitated toward each other at the merch tables and hung out for a while. All that being said, I have to also say to Adam: damn man, awesome and impressive job on this - as with everything you do!
Stayed for the fast rap part at the end. Was not disappointed. 10/10
I was blown away when that part came around. Adam is such a beast
Groove locks in HARD at 3:53... The rocket ship really takes off at 4:25.... and then my head explodes at 4:32
4:32 is are flam tap moved around the kit
I think this is the best comment on a drum video I have ever seen lol
+Canyon Benne wrong!!! is a pata fla fla
+Taylor Jackson Read your comment thinking " yeah yeah i've probably seen this before, and probably played these kinds of licks and chops before" but then GOD FUCKING DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMN WHAT THE FUCK MY HEAD IS SPINNING RIGHT NOW
it's incredible.. So sick man. The paradiddle at 4:25 is impossible :o
i literally just stared at my screen for about 5 minutes after it ended
Holy FUCKING shit, that was absolutely asTOUNDING. Absolutely, positively, most certainly amazing!!
Do excuse my profanity, sir.
>is not easily impressed
>jaw dropped numerous times upon watching this video
I love the ending where your name explodes onto the screen. Usually I find it cheesy in youtube videos, but you shredded so hard, that it just felt perfect and worthy. Please upload more covers like this!
Honestly I was waiting so long for this. This improv is kick-ass! Following the lyrics gives it such an awesome perspective! Definitely makes me want to practice even more haha
Still coming back to this 7 years later.
Adam in flowstate is ungodly.
"Still coming back to this 7 years later." - again and again!
Every time I want to listen to this song, I don't go to the original. This is the one I listen to. Cannot imagine this without your drumming now, man. Awesome work.
I wish I could play like this... Good shit Adam, by far my most influential drummer to this day
this is definitely adams fav music genre to play.

I was just looking for unique drum covers and stumbled on to this. damn I wasn't disappointed that was beast mode nice work
Love the energy! Awesome fills! Crazy tempo changes! Loved it!
3:00 that one handed hi hat doe
And it took me about 30 seconds to realize he was just playing along to the lyrics instead of the beat, if you don't drum don't criticize
I don't think I've ever been this blown away by any music performance.
this is the best drum related video i have ever laid eyes on, god bless
i watch this like once a week.
The very first thing I picked up on was that he was interpreting the lyrics...... I'm not sure how that's not obvious but w/e.
Huge fan Adam! loved watching you play with Texas at Mt.Airy Firehall. You're an inspiration \m/
-Samdarsh
Idk how this doesn’t have more views?! This is insane
He has his eyes closed almost the entire song! I could watch this as many times as you would listen to a song
Все эмоции в тексте Эминема ,воспроизвел на ударных.Шедевр.
Holy hell man, I truly believe you are the best to ever get behind a kit. You're my greatest inspiration to keep at it. Love the playthrough videos from Blood work too.
It's one thing playing a cover like this, it's another thing to play it with your eyes closed! Insane!!!
I love watching these videos and reading all the comments from all of the keyboard drummers.
This shows the exact intensity and the energy it takes to perform this song. Drum style ! Lol dude you are shredding 🤗🔥
Good job!
And that's why I love doing pop-/hiphop-/rnb-drumcovers, although I love heavy music.
More please.
Even through all of the craziest bits, you still manage to keep accenting the vocal dynamics. Fucking insane
I hate how the loudest haters get the most upvotes, I liked the playing dawg much respect
I love this arrangement style!! very compliments Adam, I think this is the evolution of drumming and perfect mix
Literally the most tech companies cover I’ve ever heard.
He could’ve just stuck to the back beat but, instead he followed Eminem’s flow.
So difficult.
Unreal.
Thank you for that video!!! Honestly you are GREAT!!! Keep uploading!
you are crazy matt ..that's was insaneeeee !!! ..i love it so muchh
You put a big smile on my face, Adam, way to go!
great job , always a pleasure to watch you playing man
Jeeze, that was nasty. Incredible drumming man. Amazing.
this is frkn awesome, I'm youre fan from the first album Texas in July, cheers from Poland +Adam Gray
Holy fiery poops!! I think my mind exploded
this guy is ridiculous on the drums. im blown away.
man, just watching this helps relieve stress.
bet he's ready for a double shift in customer service.
Adam "the animal" Gray. Awesome!
The fact that Adam isn’t a regular in top 10 list is absurd.
Well. This rules.
OMG ! Adam Gray you are ridiculous ! you're my favorite drummer hands down :P
And that's are feeling on the drums and in the music!
I just went down the adam gray rabbit hole reminiscing and discovered this...
Mom:what are you doing
Adam gray: exercising?

That skull thing on his ride is so cool does anyone know where to get those??
Era oque faltava um canal do Adam
Awesome
didn't you used to play a 6 piece kit with 3 hi-toms? I seem to remember from early live videos and concerts that you played a 6 piece.
you've got a hell of a left hand man. Props on the drumming!
Yo that was awesome dude
I got a fever and the only prescription is..... More ghost notes
Pretty fucking good bro!!!I heard a few things in there but can say I wouldn’t even come close I’m sure most drummers would agree as well!!!Level of difficulty about 1000
found this in 2019, where the hell was i?
arghhhhh the original kick sample sounds like your clipping everywhere!! Sick cover dude, tight as balls
