U2 - NEW YEAR'S DAY (Drum Cover)

NEW COVER/LESSON EVERY WEEK!
Cover #75. Happy New Year, everybody! Hope 2015 was great to you, and let's make 2016 awesome, together. First and foremost though, we'll have to get used to typing 2016 everywhere.

I figured it'd be fun to cover some kind of a new year's song, and decided to go with this one. It's a great song, however very repetitive. THIS makes it a good real-world challenge, because in many gigging situations being able to lay down a groove without getting restless is an important ability. Rather than adding any sauce to the cover, I approached it as a cover-gig musician, where melting in and playing as close to the original parts as possible is what's important. I understand that it might not be the most entertaining cover, but hopefully educating in the sense that it gets you thinking. It also allows you to heavily focus on the feel, flow, precision and execution. Even with the easiest of songs, you can learn a lot if only you focus on what it is and what there is to improve on.

This year I'd like to mix up styles a bit more than the previous year, do some really challenging covers and more improvisational stuff, but I'd also like to post a couple of "laying down the groove"-challenges, so to speak. It's going to be a fun year.


Oh and by the way, what a miss by U2's engineer at 4:00, hadn't heard that before, but that's an ugly cut going through the hi-hat, haha!


Again, happy new year, thanks for dropping by and enjoy your first week! See you soon!
