Ohhh I really felt that yell man, though my yells are usually from hitting my finger on the snare rim :(

Haha yeah that sucks! I somehow hit the stick with the other stick so the stick hit my hand in some way lol

Architects just released Meteor 3 hours ago, it has to be covered and it has to be done BY YOU, if you like!

[@SimonAspsund]

Thanks for the tip! Hopefully I'll be able to record it tomorrow! I'm just finishing off a cover of 'You are all you need' with While She Sleeps. Follow me on Instagram for more updates 🤙

Respect...I can't do what you do, but it fucking rocks

[@Nachi_Keta]

Hi Simon! I was coming across your channel when looking for Reviews for the Zoom Livetrak and Focusrite! Thought i'd check some of your other videos out and man have you improved since then! The overall quality of your content and playing has quadrupled compared to your first videos! I really like it. How much time do you actually invest in the different aspects of making your videos? Meaning from how often do you practise the drums (practise routine?) and mixing/editing. Maybe you could do a video about it some time ;-) Keep rocking bro! Subbed!

[@SimonAspsund]

Hi! Thank you so much, makes me very glad to hear this! I spend like all the time that I have on drumming, editing and mixing. When I'm on the grind it's like 80-100 hours per week. I may do a video of it in the future. If you have any questions about anything just hit me up on Instagram or send me an email at simonaspsunddrums at gmail dot com 👍

[@binanonym6709]

sick cover🤘

[@SimonAspsund]

Thank you!

[@spirodrums]

Always entertaining man 💥

[@SimonAspsund]

Glad to hear that mate!

[@jumodjo2891]

Awesome job dude ! 2'00 --> killer kick pattern and pretty tight ! Snare and kick pattern remind me "Earth and sky" by of mice and man in that song. Pretty close. Love your channel dude !

[@SimonAspsund]

Thank you very much! Yes indeed haha, I had Earth and Sky on my mind and that kinda screw me over when trying to learn it lol. I've made a cover of that one also btw 🤙

[@wakemetravis]

Fuck this beat is tasty!!!

[@user-ve5ej1hg4v]

Он охунен

[@Cre8tiveOne66]

I thoroughly enjoyed this. How many takes were needed before the final video? Your stick control is INSANE! Thanks for including the foot cam also. Your foot technique resembles Aquiles Priester. Could you do Lamb of God Colossal Hate or Resurrection Man?

[@SimonAspsund]

Thank you! I record a one take for each angle and then I edit them together. So it's not a one take video. Not sure I'll do a cover but I'll listen to the songs, thanks for the suggestion!

[@Cre8tiveOne66]

I forgot to ask what bass drum pedals do you use and what tension setting?

[@SimonAspsund]

Tama speed cobra 910. 90% tension

[@Cre8tiveOne66]

@Simon Aspsund Drums Thanks for the reply Simon. I must have watched your video at least 50 times. Used the reduced playback speed feature to really appreciate your technique. Really IMPRESSIVE 🏆

[@gilangsucipto3711]

Mom!!!! Give me a drum!!!!

[@SimonAspsund]

Go get it!!

[@danmccarthy3029]

What you do rocks. Poor word placement by me

[@YesYesYesJeff]

Asking Alexandria just massively ripped these guys off with their chorus in the new song "New Devil". It's atrocious - clear, blatant theft. Please listen for yourself, and spread the word.

[@Destiny-ph3fy]

bro cut ur hair short and u will look like like Holland

[@SimonAspsund]

😂

[@Meet_Me_In_The_Pit]

Spend less time twirling ur sticks and get ur snare tuned right
