I have never seen a better drum cover of this song anywhere on the internet. And in fact I genuinely think that this is the BEST cover of ANY song I have ever witnessed! You are one incredible talent! 🙌🏼🙌🏼😱😱🤘🏽🤘🏽

[@brettellis3948]

To this day (March 2024) this still holds true

[@peeholio3260]

The best drum cover on YT. Fkn amazing!!!!!!!!!!!

[@justincrawford1325]

This freaking guy is simply unreal. I mean seriously. What a maniac on that drum kit. Incredible.

[@alextjintjelaar4175]

What a nice way to express your energy

[@godzilla7980]

delta's back! probably the best christmas gift

[@BlkCal30t]

AMAZING as always!!

[@kggt2589]

Delta is back!! Another Bad Ass song to start!! Cant wait for whats next!!

[@talhasulayc1987]

How can anyone dislike any video of this guy... I can't imagine any reason not to like him.

[@jeremyblom1380]

this guy is my fav on utube he flows like a natural.and he has power for days.badass

[@solohour]

Surgically precise, and Fucking Badass, as usual. I’m not into this musical style at all, and I love watching you. You play with an incredible confidence. Thanks for this, and happy holidays!

[@solohour]

Dutch van der Linde actually, I love disturbed. Maybe I am into it. 😂

[@billyherring9987]

Dutch van der Linde Disturbed isn't real Metal.

[@NavyDave219]

@@billyherring9987 yes they are

[@danriehle8327]

LOL, Disturbed is as "metal" as Five Finger Death Punch and Nickelback. Hard rock, absolutely. Metal? Nope. Maybe Wal-Mart Metal...

[@pedrohernandez742]

...and the master magician does it again. Amazing!!!

[@matheuskelson]

The visual production of your videos is also brilliant. These purple lights, lots of cameras, everything there adds really well - but all of that would be meaningless without your awesome drumming. Congrats for the amazing care and professionalism in the making of these videos!

[@michaelliland8983]

That was the greatest cover Ive ever seen. An excellent song choice too.

[@cscarp4503]

He had just as much joy and satisfaction pounding this one out as we all did watching it. You can't conceal that energy behind any mask........Truly magical.......... Bravo Delta.....

[@RichardFriendartist]

the love here for Delta is putting a huge smile on my face. :)

[@asdoriangui]

You’re like a beast! So precise! Grad you’re back!

[@frystanudlar6964]

This was an awesome surprise in my inbox when I returned to work this morning. Thanks for the excellence!

[@priceyy220]

Throwback to Headbangers Ball!! Loved that song, awesome work man

[@josephguillermo3007]

Perfect. Dave McClain killed it on this song. Love this song, love this cover. Great, great, great job.

[@a.k.k.7651]

What can I say? Bro, you are the best. ❤

[@Arcto10]

Excellent, I was going to try learn this and now I have a drum tutorial :)

[@Guisnon]

Good sound , good technical , good cover

[@firesoups13]

[@susanm550]

Merry Christmas and welcome back!! You are a genius!! My favorite Machine Head song...truly a Christmas Miracle!!!

[@shaunduffy2364]

5:21 The amount of concentration and practice on the kick drum to this part is astronomical i would think 😂 Fantastic 👍

[@LynxNinjaTrials]

Dude I hope you had a blast in the past weeks. I'm glad to hear from you again, this made my day after a stressful day at my job! Thank you for the effort you put into your Videos and Covers/Solos, you really love making music, that's for sure!

[@mibe7793]

Yes!!!! I've been waiting for this one!!!

[@mattiebigtime]

I love playing along with this song. It’s sounds super complicated, but only took a few tries to get it down once you realize you play the remote hats for the verse.

[@deanoscott]

I keep coming back to this and get goosebumps every damn time. Clinically amazing.

[@KyleBurnsMusic]

Oh wow I haven't heard this in a long time! Great Choice!

[@boogabooga2916]

Awesome job! So glad to see a new post \m/

[@ChristianVetDad]

This is a great Christmas gift that you have given.

[@danriehle8327]

That HAS to be Dave under the mask. That was spot-on perfect. Well done.

[@kieraandrews7044]

"What did you get for Christmas this year?" "Delta posted a new vid after a small hiatus."

[@OldManTenno]

One of my favorite songs, and you crushed it.

[@oliverjensen223]
