I do "One Take Drum Covers" of Songs that have iconic drum beats.
Hey drummers and people who like drums! Watch as I record drum covers in only one take without any post-production editing, quantizing, or locking to click tracks. (Mostly because I can't be bothered doing things twice or wasting time editing.) I drum purely for the joy of drumming. I've played in many bands over the years. I grew up in the 80s listening to classic rock and prog, and learned to play the drums. In November 2023, I started the @snare.hihat.bassdrum YouTube channel to share my journey getting back into drums and everything to do with drums. I'm more about capturing the feel of a song and finding the drum pocket. There will be a couple of mistakes here and there, but I'm just going to keep going and try again on the next one. Wish me luck!
I grew up in the Canadian prairies in the 80s listening to Van Halen, Iron Maiden, and Rush. Back then, there was fierce loyalty and pride associated with the band T-shirts you wore in public. Meanwhile, I was learning to play the drums, and I tuned into the likes of Lars, Charlie Benante, Dave Weckyl, Jeff Porcaro, and Jack DeJohnette trying to expand my drumming horizons.
After high school, I played over 2000 gigs across Canada and the United States, opening for bands of all sizes. Fast forward to 2024, my wife and I became empty nesters with some free time on my hands. That's when I decided to get back into drumming, and started the @snare.hihat.bassdrum YouTube channel.
I don't claim to be perfect and you will hear some mistakes here and there. This is live raw videos of me drumming to my favorite songs, some will be better than others, If I can just capture the pocket and get the feel, even briefly I call it a win. Theres no better feeling than sitting in a drum pocket and everything hits.
Perfection is the enemy of good. -Voltaire

Note: I record songs in only one take without any tricks like post-production editing, quantizing or locking to click tracks. I'm all about capturing the feel that made me like that song in the first place and finding the drum pocket. And yes, there will be a couple of mistakes here and there, but just keep going and get back in the pocket like it's a live show. Wish me luck! Fingers crossed!

Check out this thrilling drum cover of "Grace" by Jeff Buckley! Watch as the drummer brings new life to this iconic song with their incredible talent. Jeff Buckley music turned us all upside down at the time. It was ridiculously good at a time when things were headed down the grunge path, Jeff's music was a home run into left field. The drums on grace were a highlight even though the entire album was great, a perfect example of playing for the music.

Drums sound dead? No resonance? Check your heads to make sure no part of the metal rim on the head touches the shell, if it is touching anywhere around the drum the head is toast, get a new oneband seat it properly and hear the difference #dwdrums #musicmakers #musicians #musicianlife #drumstagramButton

Zildjian earth ride circa 1970's "The first completely unlathed cymbal to hit the market was the Zildjian Earth Ride, introduced in the early 1970’s. With a look as unconventional as it’s sound, the Earth Ride produced a radical “ping” and was known for its increased power and projection. Its sound was a request from drummer Billy Cobham." #earthride #ZildjianFamily #zildjiancymbalsButton
