I know there's a great drum cover of this song already on YouTube but this was a suggestion by my wife and I've always wanted to play this song and never found the time or opportunity to do it. I hope you like it. I had a hard time figure out a few of the fills so enjoy my interpretation....

An #epic #short #snippet from my #drum #cover #recorded in my #studio made for #drummer #thingstodo More on my #youtube #channel so please #subscribe I #play #yamahadrums & #yamahahardware with #evansdrumheads and I use #zildjian #cymbals including 15” #newbeat #hats with #red #cympads on #top I prefer to stomp on #dwpedals with #tama #beaters and I swing both #vicfirthsticks and #promarksticks depending on which #song I am #covering and the #sound I need. Currently my #favorite #drumheads are the #evansdrumheads specifically the #evansfrosted heads 😎 The #shure #sm57 #mics are the most #reliable for my #budget and the #apple #logicX #DAW with an #maudio #profire 2626 does a fine job #recording. Sometimes I’ll incorporate some #lppercussion #tocapercussion or #roland #electronicsounds ⚡️ My #nike #running #shoes work best for me when it comes to #feel & #flexibility but nothing is more #comfortable than the #rocnsoc #drumthrone I can put in #hours of #practice with #noproblems and it’s all #monitored with my #iem by #westone #UMpro30 in ear monitors and #captured using a #gopro for #overhead #shots and a #nikon main #side #camera 😎 I can’t leave out #reflexx #practicepads for the #warmup #sessions or #sticking #exercise #routine while watching #tv or using the #metronome on my #ipad and #iphone to keep good #time ⏰ When it’s all said and done I #listen back on the #yamahaHS8 #studiomonitors where I #mix and #master the #finalproduct inspired by some of my favorite drummers #neilpeart #johnbonham #carterbeauford #toddsucherman #chadsmith #jayweinberg #taylorhawkins #joshfreese #mattcameron #davegrohl #mikeportnoy #dannycarey #kennyaranoff #domfamularo #chadgracey #scottmercado
