Heh, Hey Mike! It's been a long time. I'm glad you enjoy the snare but c'mon, you have to admit, it sounds like a Roland module snare! I wouldn't be surprised if Megadeth actually used this as a sample. 🧐🤔 I'm still struggling accepting this in the mix. At one point, I literally threw my paper notes at the wall that listed all the different snares that I tried and sounded decent but ended up not working out. I finally gave up and just left it. You know me, I'm a perfectionist. Oh well. I should just let it go...maybe when I retire I'll remix it for funsies. Appreciate you leaving the comment and I'm still waiting for your comeback! 🤞🙏😎

I never thought the tempo was as challenging as it should be at 185bpm. The parts that really got me were the cymbal choke breaks. The timing on that screwed with me for a long time. Appreciate the comment! 🤘🤘

Thank you for that comment! RATS!

Yes! Why wasn't a comment in this fucker?! I was crying for days missing you and I had to reach out to slap you silly via messenger like a clingy little bitch. I like that term you used, "chopping wood on those hats". That's right man, I was feeling this groove really hard and it's why, as I've said, it's one of my Top 3 favorite drum covers. Bro, words can't express the gratitude for the support you've given me over the years. Introvert me feels like I'm in the cool kids club knowing you. 🤓->😎

Hey, I appreciate the comment and the vote of confidence with the sound. I'm not quite happy with the snare sound so I will have to remix it some day.... thanks again!

Yo Adam, thanks for the comment. Hope you are doing good! Why would you try to drop a demo tape onto Nick? 😁 He's the most chill, unconnected to the music industry person, ever! 😂 When was this encounter with him, during his Megadeth days or when he was with OHM? I never got to meet any of me hero's and surely Nick is one of them for me. I love Nick's playing, so powerful, yet graceful. Appreciate you brother! 😎🙏🤘

Hey Zach! Yea man, I too saw a show during this album run and they had one of my other favorite bands opening up for them, Suicidal Tendencies! Thanks for the comment and the support over the years. 🤘😎🙏

@@RedGearMusic Stone Temple Pilots were the opener for the show I saw!! But Suicidal Tendencies would of been cool too!!

LOL. Only you would ask about the shirt. It's the Grunt Style Red Blood Blue Collar shirt. I wear way too much Grunt Style gear. Perhaps I should get an endorsement for all the free promoting. Hope you enjoyed the cover at least. 🤣

@@RedGearMusic Was just curious. Cover was great!

Thanks for the vote of confidence. But I'm sticking to my guns and still hating the snare sound. It could be a revisit in the future. The intro is the only saving grace for this cover and if it wasn't for that, it certainly would of been shelved. Thanks as always for all the support. It's great knowing guys like you and Trey Bledsoe. 🤘🙏😎

Thank you for that comment! If you want to see something even more sick, check in the description for a full band cover we did of this song. The singer did an amazing job!

Is that a Google canned response? 🤔 If so, Google is pretty metal...🤘Thanks for checking this one out. It just might be a revisit in the future because of what I hate on it, and you know what I mean.

Yea, that intro took a long while to get the speed. I started off practicing it at 50% slower in Logic and slowly worked my way up. I got really good at 10% slower but once I got to normal speed it still felt way too fast. I kept on working and working at it and I did like 10 takes before I got one to sound close. Glad I never have to play this live. LOL. Thanks for the comment!

Trey man. Hope you are well rested! I thought you gave up on commenting on my videos. 🫨🤯 Seems like a minute since the last comment you left me. But I get it, your hot shit famous with those abs of steel! LOL. Anyways, yea man. I struggled hard with the mix on this one and still to this day, I hate the snare sound. It sounds like a cheap Roland module snare, not the usual Superior Drummer 3 mix I like! I wanted to stick close to the original, which is a very dry snare anyways, and I just couldn't nail it. I loved everything else about the kit, the kick especially as you pointed out, but the snare will forever haunt me. Anyways, enough of my bitchin'. Next month's cover is going to be lame as well. I can feel it...but at least the kit on that one sounds good. 🤣 Can't win em all. Have a great weekend man.

Hey Jason! Thanks as always for taking the time out of your day to watch & comment on my videos. I thank you kind sir!

Thank you for that comment! I really wish more of the Black Album drum covers did get more views. I am thankful you found it and left me a great comment. 🤘😎🙏

@@RedGearMusic ganhou mais um inscrito meu amigo, Deus o abençoe e sucesso pra vc!

😎 Thanks man. Come back on Friday and be sure to watch the intro drum fill! 🥁

🤘 Come back on Friday for the full version!

I know right! This Megadeth lineup will forever be the best one, you can fight me on that! Appreciate the comment.

Karen, I've been playing drums for 40 years now! I know, crazy! I still feel I have a lot left to learn....

Thank you! 🤘🙏😎

Thanks for the comment Nicholas! I was fortunate enough to see Type O Negative twice in my lifetime and loved both of those shows. Peter is amazing on stage and commands respect. If you haven't already, I suggest you check out the full band cover of this song that I was apart of (link in the description). Heavy In Hawaii did an outstanding performance of Peter's vocals! Thanks again for the comment and hope you enjoy all the other Type O drum covers I have on my channel.

Have I ever done a bad tune? Wait, don't answer that. 🤣😆🫣 One of your favorite bands is coming up on the 13th. 🤘

😂

Thanks for the comment. The kick is a Roland KD-120 with the Tama Speed Cobra 910 double pedal. I like the Roland kick drums (KD-120 or even the KD-140) as they are very stable. I play my drums pretty hard and as you can see, it's not moving all that much! 🤣🤘

I do too. I never realized how much love Lars put into that ending until I had to figure out all the drum fills. It's a work of art. Hope you were able to check out the actual drum cover I did. You might enjoy it. 🤘🙏😎

Thanks Eric! I know we have a wide gap in the music each of us like, but it's still always great to see your comments. Thanks again, brother!

Thanks for that comment. I really try to get as close to the original as possible. I don't think it's exact but it does fit the song very well! Thanks again for taking the time to check out the video and leaving a comment. 🤘😎🙏

Thank you for the comment!

YO! Mike! Love seeing your comments each month, always puts a smile on my face. This kit is mainly the SD3 Core library, especially the snare, all SD3 Core on that one. All the toms start with a base instrument from the SD3 core library then I layered an additional tom from The Rock Warehouse SDX on each one. All crashes are from the SD3 core with the ride and china from the Drums of Destruction EZX library. The Drums of Destruction EZX has one of the best sounding ride cymbals out of all my libraries! It's a shame too because that's really the only thing I use in that library consistently. I did use a snare layer from that one on a Type O cover but other than that...meh. Yea LALAL.AI is my go to for drum track removal. I find it does a great job and do recommend it! Thanks as always man! Sorry for the long reply! 🫣😁🤘😎

Thank you for the comment and the sub drumbum! This is probably one of my favorite drum covers as of right now. Easily in the top 3 at the moment! Thanks again and hope you find other content you like on my channel!

This is a band I REALLY wish would do a reunion tour. I have always like them since Frogstomp in '95 and this album is bar far my favorite. I'm kinda surprised you listened to this cover or any of their music for that matter. In any event, I appreciate the comment as always! 🤘

This is the 2nd comment you left commenting on the snare sound, which goes to show, that getting a great snare sound is crucial when building a kit. I struggle many times finding a good working snare sound, whereas yourself, you seem to always nail those snare sounds! I should take lessons from you! 😁😂 I am seriously debating myself for my September drum cover on the snare sound, it's so cringe, but it pretty close to the original, so I don't know what to do. I'd like to hear your opinion on that one when it's released. 🫣🤔 Take care.

@RedGearMusic thank you so much I wouldn't overthink it too much I know it is easy to do your sound is top notch keep rocking and doing what you are doing sometimes the snare may seem odd on its own but once in the mix it just works! Have a great weekend. I look forward to the next one!

Yea this snare came out really well. Not quite like the original (original was more dry sounding) but it fit in my mix well. Perhaps this is how the kit should of sounded on the original? Ha! Thanks for the comment Bill!

Thanks for the comment Steven! Silverchair is one of the bands I really wish would do a reunion tour. I've been a huge fan of them since Frogstomp with Diorama being my all-time favorite album from them. As a drummer, this track was always one of my favorites and I really hope Ben can some how see my take on this. 😁 Be sure to come back on Friday to watch the full video! Thanks again! 🤘😎

Thanks for that comment! 🙏😎🤘

Thank you so much for checking this out! Grazie!

Thank you for the comment. I try to release a drum cover every month, so stay tuned!

Hey man, I appreciate that! You should check out my Type O Negative cover of Christian Woman to see some of the more recent upgrades to the kit; and it's not a band tune either. 🤣 Thanks again! 🤘😎🙏

Thank you! Be sure to check out the full band collaboration cover that is on my channel of this same song!

Hey! Thank you for the sub! Ghost is one of my favorite bands and I love playing their tracks. They feature some really great solid drumming with some really catchy melody hooks. Hope you enjoy all the other Ghost covers I have on my channel. For the past almost 47 years, I go by the name Bryan. 🤣 Thanks again!

@@RedGearMusic 😊

🙏😎

Thanks for checking out my monthly drum covers Jason. I always enjoying seeing the repeat viewers leaving me comments. I guess it means I'm doing something kinda right. 🤣🙏😎🤘

Hey thanks for the comment and interest in my preset! This preset is part of the "Premium SD3 Membership" which you can see an entire tracking listing of all the song included on my website (link in the description). This preset would require The Rock Foundry SDX from Toontrack to get what you hear. Hope that answers any question you may have. If not, feel free to shoot me an email.

Well the story is the god's honest truth! I try to keep at least one month's buffer of drum covers (sometimes I can get lucky and have two) and this was cutting it too close. I don't know how invested you are with making your covers but I spend a good amount of time video editing, probably because I am bad at it, and it shows. LOL. So I need all the time I can get to stick with my every month covers. Anywho, thanks as always for all the support. It's good to see everyone coming back and leaving comments all the time. 😎🙏

Thanks Ryan. Using your non-GSM account I see. Don't know the story behind Silent Snow Records....do tell sometime.

Thanks Bill. The Rock Foundry SDX and the Dense Metal preset is where I think I started with this one. That snare is killer and fits so many genres! Appreciate the comment as always!

Thank you good sir! We have very similar choice in music and it's a real pleasure watching your covers and wishing I had your showmanship. 🤣 Keep rockin'! 🤘

@@RedGearMusic Thanks also to you 🙏. A pleasure to share musical tastes 💪🤘. Rock on!!

I really appreciate that comment and the love for the work I'm putting in. It's the whole reason why I keeping doing what I'm doing. Thank you!

I can't believe it's been 5 years since I've done that drum cover! I couldn't really remember how it sounded, so I went back and watched it again. I do recall enjoying playing it but that drum kit sound kind of made me cringe. 🫣😆 I think I've gotten much better at the mixing aspect of my covers nowadays. I appreciate you checking it out and leaving a comment! 🙏😎🤘
