Honestly this is better than the original!

[@BillForeOfficial]

Thank you Giorgos!

[@masonpaes4208]

I seriously like love this drum cover more the. Anyone else's and I wanna do one just like this ! I can't stop watching this and listening to it

[@BillForeOfficial]

Mason Paes Mason thanks!

[@TheSentinel909]

Love the energy, showmanship and technical proficiency that just blasts out my screen when I watch this...ROCK AND ROLL :)

[@brettash8520]

9 years later and still bump this shit almost daily

[@justinsamsel1230]

KZbin seems to hide this damn video for whatever reason. I've clawed back to it for many years and have finally saved the URL. Bill Fore is an absolute genius on the drums, bloody brilliant in technic and rhythm. This video seems so private and unfound, I can't get enough of it. Should have 20k UPS!

[@BettchersGuitar]

Musically outstanding, extremely creative, terrific production. Here's to a great future for Bill Fore!

[@bizzaroman007]

I haven't been able to stop watching/listening to this since I found it a while ago. I find myself going through it in my head at random moments in the day. As a drummer myself, I find this video perfect in many ways. One way is the technique and playing itself, another is the song choice for the cover, and finally the fact that you were incredibly creative with mixing your playing style in, while still staying true to the original song. This is what I strive for. Thank you for the inspiration.

[@WuzhuiWilliam]

What the hell is that !...your gravity blast was insane, you got epic cover dude.

[@BillForeOfficial]

Wuzhui William Thank you! A gravity blast was essential ha

[@RV5994]

it made me smile then suddenly a goosebumps.

[@hyper_activeturtle8680]

Absolutely amazing!!! I find this song sooo fun to play

[@BillForeOfficial]

Guess what..I saw it! Thank you so much for this, words can't describe the joy comments like these bring me. Every time I'm involved in a project or music video, I'm endlessly hoping people will enjoy my work and the outcome, and you my friend make it all worth the while.

[@stuntin1189]

I still love this drum cover years later! Your skills on the drums make this a true turn up.

[@brettash7640]

Still my favorite drum cover video of all time

[@PoliticalDestruction]

This is the best drum cover I have heard of any dubstep song.

[@Navas101]

Anytime man, I'm not sure why this video has so few views. It deserves many many more in my opinion. I had to stop writing this comment just to watch it again.

[@teddythedrummer]

For Sure the Best Drum Cover Of this Song I've Ever Heard! Nice Job Drummer!! Keep on Groovin'! Peace!

[@loveembodied]

DUDE absolutely Amazing. the bass drop to the time signature following. Everything was AMAZING. thank you

[@manfredmar]

Wow man, that is some sick speed you can do with the double pedals. Great work

[@bambams131]

As a fellow drummer I have to say this is some good stuff! I'm also a hardcore skrillex fan and I have to say the extra things you added to this song make it even more amazing!

[@bertulfito]

Huge talent - good taste, amazing!!!

[@WhiteCOCOdrumS]

one of the best covers ive seen so far!!!! we need more!!!

[@laughinfrenchy]

I watch this multiple times at work :) Definitely worth rewatching time and again !

[@MrFrozenWater]

Love the video and especially the fill in at 2:20, i want to learn how to do fill ins like that, amazing video effects too, great work, excellent drummer!!!

[@mariogalan5589]

The best drummer and the coolest dude I´ve ever seen. Idol.

[@thedazedbandman]

thanks for the positive encouragement, man, and you're more than welcome for the comment--it's well deserved!!

[@BillForeOfficial]

Thanks Axelisho your views are much appreciated!

[@Shoxicity]

editing perfect, skills perfect, perfection

[@xxfarleyjdxx]

this should have millions of views....

[@PhilChaos]

Awesome ! I love your drumming skills !!

[@RosalineTheory]

Bill, I know you will probably never see this... But I've listened to ALOT of music in my life and you are by far the greatest and most energetic drummer I have ever seen in my life. And what sets you apart mostly is the fact that you actually give a shit about us. I remember when I heard that mutiny within was getting signed i damn near shit my pants I was so excited. You have surpassed so many greats and one day you will reserve your spot in the hall of fame. Keep it up man!

[@josealonsovillarreal2646]

El mejor de todos los cover🇲🇽

[@MrKafferast]

I love both dubstep and metal and your drumming gave me the best of both worlds! Awesome stuff!

[@Jaaamesy]

never thought id see gravity blasts and skrillex in the same video, mind blown. good job man, badass.

[@CristianDuca]

It's nice to listen this when the sun rises,,,Bill Fore makes my day :D

[@moniarizag]

Absolutely superb!!

[@thomasholmgren349]

I've seen many copy/paste covers of this song, but you make it to your own art, and its just awesome, keep it up!

[@heedlix]

Dude. You're badassery knows no bounds. What makes this all the more epic is the videography. Just takes it to another level. But all the fancy camera work would mean nothin without those skillz.

[@xanders9261]

Its been 8 years I searching for other drummer who moereethe best than him for cover this song since I found this video first time. And,,, I didn't found any drummer which more better than him for this song! Bill Fore still the best one for this 😂

[@Denji1717]

The Editing Skills❤🔥

[@Defythekingdom]

utter badass. period.

[@deadsempiternal5221]

wooow! awesome job! love it!

[@jimmywim]

I find it interesting that nearly 8 years on, when doing a search for "Skrillex Drum Cover" (KZbin rabbit hole, don't ask) this video comes up, along with a handful over others. The others all have millions of views, yet this one only has 124k . Yet this one is my favourite - it's the best looking (lighting & editing), has a cinematic feel that captures the song's intensity quite well, and possibly the best sounding drums of the others. This video is just simply more enjoyable to look at and listen to. I'm wondering if the others kept getting the views in over time because people were looking for videos to learn how to play the song on drums more, whereas this is more of a general good "music video" rather than anything remotely instructional.

[@BillForeOfficial]

THANK YOU - we do need to get to the root of this conspiracy James.

[@BillForeOfficial]

haha up! slammmmm. you can see in the video, also check out my other video: Blinded In Bliss - Bill Fore Foot Cam - you can check it out from close up!

[@GodSent557]

Bill, there are only a few people I look up to in the world and you're one of them! Great video man!! A true artist! I respect everything you do in the drumming community and I hope one day I'll be as good as you.. I'll be there soon, hopefully!
