Nice crispy drum cover and also love the addition of lyrics at the bottom of the screen!

[@Jozef_Kazola]

Dude that snare is amazing lol. Best snare ive probably ever heard on a cover

[@NoiseSignal]

i spot a Nic Peterson Singature set nice

[@BennyCranston]

Yes! His signature snare is by far my favourite, such a crispy and punchy tone

[@zackweber231]

Great stuff Ben! One of the only covers for this song out there currently

[@BennyCranston]

Thanks mate! Strange because it’s such a killer track!

[@zackweber231]

Sick cover dude, Polaris rocks, you nailed it!!

[@leon.valentin]

Their latest album is just insane. Loved watching & hearing this! Amazing job on the cover. I wish I could get anywhere near that skill level!!! Will take me decades of practice lol. Can you make one for above my head and vagabond too? Those two are probably my favorites. Keep up the great work

[@BennyCranston]

Thanks for watching man and appreciate the comment! I just recently done Masochist and probably will do Pray for Rain in the future!

[@johnpower1296]

Sick!

[@bunky8077]

Whoever downvoted this video should be ashamed. Great cover bro!

[@vedxsu]

Cool bro!

[@sonkeh7362]

Damn, you were really feeling it, you could see and hear it

[@seanrosendo5672]

Your snare sounds so sick that it sounds close to Matt Halpern's Periphery IV drum kit.

[@takashiito.neetdrum]

Sick sound. It looks no mic,no trigger.How rec do you this sound?

[@robdobble6672]

To get this really punchy kick and snare sound, you have to mix it so there’s as little bleed as possible. Of course, you also have to tune your drums in a specific way, but when you’re mixing, cut out a lot but not all of the bass and amp the treble and highs.

[@cambrowndrums]

@@robdobble6672 that’s not what he was saying bro, he doesn’t have any mics so he was wondering how he was getting the sound of his drums. It’s most likely programmed MIDI to just match what he’s playing

[@robdobble6672]

@@cambrowndrums ah, now I understand haha

[@faviocesaralvisugarteche6516]

Nic Styles

[@sandersondavid53]

Where are the mics?

[@Micah__]

The cover is obviously great, I just never seen anyone have their cymbals pointed at the ground!

[@BennyCranston]

Thanks Micah! I sit relatively high and have my cymbals pretty low, so to avoid be hitting them wrong, I angle them away from me. Theres a bit of method to the madness :p

[@ashanderson3788]

How have you mic’d up mate?

[@vynsonypil8408]

nic pettersen inspired right?

[@BennyCranston]

What gave it away?! hahaha

[@vynsonypil8408]

@@BennyCranston the way you hit the kit obviously give me the hint hahaha

[@khennigs]

Good playing bro. Wanna join a band?

[@sleepytako_]

I'm still wondering how that phone stayed in your pocket Maybe cuz you have too much "pocket" ahahaha...ok I'll leave now

[@BennyCranston]

HAHA nah nah that was great
