This is a Drum Cover of Tempting Time from Animals as Leaders 2009 self titled release and is the copyrighted property of its owner(s).
Tempting Time was my favourite song from this album. I choose to cover this song because it has beautiful phrased groups between the kick and snare which I love to play. The song features different themes throughout with a tempo change in the middle. I had a lot of fun with this song. Hope you enjoy as well!!! Also shout out to Misha Mansoor from Periphery for programing the drums in this song!
Here's my other Animals as Leaders Drum Covers:

How could you dislike this? The video is exactly what it claims to be in the title (A drum cover of "Tempting Time"). It is played flawlessly. It provides camera angles that show you how to play it. I don't understand...

[@AidWoW]

I agree. A large portion of the population enjoys cookie-cutter music that requires little-to-no talent to write and play (ie. 99% of what you hear on mainstream radio). It's these people that dislike music that requires a high amount of skill and theory (ie. Animals Against Leaders). The dislikes are probably from people that have this mind-set: "This isn't a common 4/4 beat, with bass drum on beats 1 and 3 and snare on 2 and 4, therefore I dislike. I'm gonna listen to [Insert name of this weeks' flavour-of-the-week band name]".

[@FyFamily]

AidWoW hahaha, that's so accurate!

[@boycey_x4345]

probably the usual 1% of people that go to hit like and miss and hit the dislike

[@BaritonePapi]

AidWoW not that I'm a fan of mainstream music but don't say it doesn't require talent, because it does. Whether it's a singer or rapper, talent is needed because I would be a mainstream artist if anyone could do it. But that's the thing, not everyone could do it because you wouldn't know how to. All forms of music is art and don't bash it because you don't like it, definitely don't call it talent less

[@wiraaditama86]

Poppa Punker the mixing maybe?

[@TroyWright]

I got most of my deals with the brands i use before i started any videos on youtube. You have to make sure you can offer them more than they can offer you.. Exposure is the main thing. Other than my online presence I have always had almost 50 drum students a wk and performed 3-5 shows a wk etc

[@Ureyeuh]

4 seconds into this cover and it's one of the best covers I've seen on any instrument for any genre. You did a sick ass job on this man. On the video and the cover.

[@furcoat9458]

Uriah Graves He doesnt start playing till 22 seconds though

[@Ureyeuh]

Fur Coat Shhhh

[@furcoat9458]

Uriah Graves lmao :))

[@dagurbezisinthemalof]

Dear Mr.Troy Wright, I am a 16 year old drummer and i love watching your covers,they show equal proportions of playing the song "note for note" and personal input.All aspiring drummers should watch your videos, you play the way a drummer should; sheet music at hand(if needed), keeping time with your left foot(hat pedal) and clean tight hit locations with a loose grip for those ghost notes.You are quite the body builder too and being from australia makes you that much more bad ass. Sincerely,sub

[@MawcDrums]

Dude, seriously. This is the best I've ever seen someone do with this song. Incredible.

[@TroyWright]

@real1acer yeah man the only way i can play this sort of music is to write is out, learn what rhythms are going on and play through it... playing it slower doesn't really help me though, most of this stuff feels completely different at slower tempos

[@carlos13moreno]

1:06 I love this part :D

[@TheClintMan72]

This cover still gives me chillssss

[@FakeAndGay666]

I have watched this cover several times and it just amazes me. Thankyou for all you're hard work and effort put into these clips, they continue to inspire me as a drummer and to push myself/practice. Keep them coming :)

[@ctdjazz]

Endless respect for your transcriptions. Tons of people do these drum cover videos, but none of them take the time or make the effort to transcribe. It's essential! Great playing as well.

[@ZeroFrodo]

Huge congrats for this amazing cover Troy. You clearly work extremely hard and it has paid off! Keep those covers coming :)

[@admtema]

That is amazing! Very amazing!

[@avaratatat]

Damn, that was awesome, Troy. I do love watching good drummers work.

[@crazzzymike69]

@wrightdrums thank you so much dude. I think you're the best drummer i've ever seen in my life, keep it up, keep inspiring others to play and improve.

[@kauebelu3306]

That's the best cover I've even seen. Flawless. You did a great job with those polyrhythms, the first time I've even seen so perfectly. Congrats.

[@AaVeck]

you're seriously one of the best drummers i have ever seen. addicted to your vids man. keep it up!

[@Guerzarro]

Wow! Awesome playing. Thanks for introducing me to Animals As Leaders, I now have their albums on repeat. I hope there's more AAL covers to come.

[@MetalHead420100]

awesome drumming. im learning a few of their songs myself right now. definetly my favorite music to play right now

[@djahjeband7249]

Such a kick ass cover!! Love your kit as well!

[@MarcelGrengs]

i LOVE your snare sound dude. Amazing cover, too. flawless.

[@FilipeGomesDrummer]

Great snare sound! Killer cover, as usual Troy!

[@MitchReitmanOnDrums]

I wish I had the time to learn to read music. This is a perfect example to why I would want to. You're the man.

[@TheCompulsionToKill]

Jeez... Awesome!!! This and Soraya are my favorites gorgeous songs and album as a whole

[@Mr2drummer2]

this the first spot-on cover i have seen of this song. i give you props. incredible drumming.

[@JoaoL15]

I always comeback to watch this vídeo again and it inspires me all the time

[@clems6belio]

Far beyond technique, here is mastery. More style, comfort, ease, than most of drummers playing this song (including Navene). It's really pleasant to see how you're just having fun with this masterpiece.

[@danielcampbell9806]

Dude you are completely insane!! Love your style all around... Kepp up the great work love watching your covers! Ive Learn alot from you

[@James-vc1kc]

You have the best covers, and a great taste in music!

[@mysterydrum]

super dope really like the sound of the snare rest of the kit sounds awesome too great job

[@Meatlooaf]

The kit sounds superb, the drumming is flawless, video is excellent. best cover no doubt

[@JamieWarrenDrums]

Just amazing!

[@Swagaroni]

I'm so glad you played the accents on the hi-hats correctly from 2:50-3:33. Those accents make that section much more complex. I wish Navene from AAL played it that way too. Major props dude!

[@SecretAgent068]

Freaking awesome dude!! Just got into AAL earlier this year and have really been in awe of their level of talent and songwriting. Keep up the great work!

[@TroyWright]

@drsteve0487 thanks man. The section you mention is 3 repeated bars of 4/4 with the accented looping hihat part then the kick and snare just come in underneath. i wasn't even comparing my sound to the track. i knew i need a stack so i just experimented with what cymbals i was fortunate to already have.

[@spacecowboyjera]

Dude...this is simply amazing...

[@Majtzy]

Love you videos, best sounding drumset I've ever heard.

[@slmda4]

Great cover-spot on. Drums sound great too

[@Ominislasher]

Great sounding man! glad to see such awesomeness!

[@GrantVsMalice]

This is real talent. Not many people can even wrap their heads around the off beats and complexity of the music. Great job man, extremely impressive.

[@frantic9999999]

Hands down best drummer on youtube in both skill and editing, keep kicking ass

[@samuelkdrums]

You are a true inspiration Troy! I have always liked how both your feet are in constant motion and therefore I have started to move my left foot while playing! It's quite hard to do the 8th notes with it so far ,specially while playing tricky beats, but I will get the hang of it! Thanks for all the videos and I hope you never stop. Cheers!

[@TroyWright]

@crazzzymike69 bleed was the hardest to learn and remember mainly because it was a double kick endurance thing as well. you can get all the transcripts at wrightdrums(.)com

[@Nicoolaas84]

I can't stop to watch this drum cover ! you're amazing ! More please :p

[@tyz16]

Thanks again for another amazing cover video and one of another of my favorite band, AAL. I love it wen you do songs like this it gives other musicians like myself inspiration to keep trying harder and it also teaches me a lot about rhythm just watching you. If you have time to, do some more AAL songs. I can't wait for friday so I have money to buy the new album weightless.
