ALICE IN CHAINS - NO EXCUSES - DRUM COVER

[@AndyBlackoutDrums]

I've always loved the percussive arrangement in this song. You killed it man! Those splashes were perfect!

[@TheMichaelJadeDrumChannel]

Hey man thank you so much!

[@EricFDrums]

Still to this day my fav AIC record. This was as on point as it gets

[@TheMichaelJadeDrumChannel]

Eric!! You are such a beast! Thank you so much for watching! I really am trying to do my best Sean Kinney here hahaha

[@JoeyClarkDrums]

Micheal this sounds phenomenal! The drums sound perfect. That snare is rocking dude! All the aux percussion is on the money. 🔥🔥🔥💯🥁

[@TheMichaelJadeDrumChannel]

Joey!!! Mad respect! Thank you so much for watching! I'm making do without a bottom snare mic at the moment, but The Pitbull is still a thunder clapping gun shot in the mix! Thank you again! 🦾🦾🦾🦾🥁🥁🥁🥁

[@TravisPacheco1]

Well done. The first time I ever heard this song was on the MTV Unplugged DVD and I was blown away by the drum part. You nailed it.

[@TheMichaelJadeDrumChannel]

Thank you so much! As a 7 year old kid, I was fortunate enough to have an older family member who liked AIC, and I got to wear out their copy of the CD. Cheers, and thanks again for watching!

[@DavidBrackett385]

Bro. Impeccable. The nuance you have is on point. The audio engineering is Perfect too. I’d love to pick your brain about it

[@TheMichaelJadeDrumChannel]

Thanks for watching, man! As well as the kind words. For sure. Hit me up on IG - @meangreencat13

[@RichRawDawgdrums]

Excellent work on the Sean Kinney patterns! Classic Alice In Chains song and you rocked it! 🤘Your kit always looks and sounds great!

[@TheMichaelJadeDrumChannel]

Thanks so much, Rich! These two AIC tunes I just did were a blast to learn how to play! These Pearl Forums always blow me away with how well they record. Cheers, my friend!

[@bryandrums32]

[@bryandrums32]

@@TheMichaelJadeDrumChannel I know it can. Be hard with all the repetitive intricate drum beat, over and over again, I understand that, believe me, it’s kind of tricky

[@missgenevieve]

Nicely done!

@@TheMichaelJadeDrumChannel heck ya!!!!!

[@scottg7660]

Loved it! Care to share the details of your kit?

[@TheMichaelJadeDrumChannel]

Certainly! Anything you want to know! It's a Pearl Forum kit I bought used at Guitar Center for $150. I'm using a Pearl M-80 side snare, as well as a custom 6.5x14 hammered brass snare. Cymbals are all Zildjian A Custom, except the hi-hat, and ride. Those are Sabian AA Rock series. Hardware is a mixture of Mapex, Gibraltar, Yamaha, and Pearl. Mics are a mixture of Audix, Shure, and Sterling. I'm also using a Yamaha EAD10 purely for in-ear mix in this video. Heads are all Remo, and the sticks are Vic Firth Rock. Recorded with Studio One version 4, and the drumless track, I created using the Moises App. Cameras are 2 Canon G7X's, and a GoPro. Should I do a rig rundown video on some of my kits!? Thanks so much for watching!

[@jimjordan4345]

Nice!!

Thank you! Cheers!

[@sammiard]

Like a 🔨 to a nail. Killed it! Those drums sound great on you!

[@TheMichaelJadeDrumChannel]

Sammi! Can't wait to hear this played live someday! hahaha Much love and respect to you, brother!

[@chrisinger1]

Damn! I wish we could get together! My vocals along with you and other musicians and we would be sooo excellent! Great stuff my brother!

[@noj07]

DUDE!!!!!

[@Elbateristarupestre]

A great groove on this one... that ACD snare sounds soooo good!!! and is a pearl piccolo or a timbale? sounds lovely!!! great work, man!

[@TheMichaelJadeDrumChannel]

Caveman! So sorry I just saw this comment! It’s a Pearl M80 side snare! Thank you so much for watching and supporting! 🤘🏻

[@grazydine2]

If Sean Kinney had only done this. He would still be in there with the greatest drummers of all time.

[@TheMichaelJadeDrumChannel]

Absolutely. Thanks for watching!

[@carlossanmartin6940]

Great Job bro ...que medida es tu caja auxiliar ?

[@TheMichaelJadeDrumChannel]

What is an auxiliary box!? And thank you!

[@yellopearls07]

I dont think its possible to do this any better. That side snare is pitch perfect. Alot of other guys out here on the Tube O' Yous just making do with whatever toms they have. I need to go get another splash cymbal. 🤔

[@TheMichaelJadeDrumChannel]

Bro, you're gonna make me cry over here. lol Probably one of the best, and kindest comments I could ever receive. Thank you so much, man. It really means a lot to read something like that. I'm so glad you dug my attempt!
