Bloc Party - Like Eating Glass Drum Cover

[@motormatt1222]

I think the best part of Bloc Party is the drumming. I'm so glad someone made a cover of this. It's insanely good.

Russell's guitars are ridiculous too

[@ritchcarcass8624]

Too bad they kicked him out for doing too much coke . Now they suck

[@motormatt1222]

@@ritchcarcass8624 so THAT’S why he was skinny and always had his shirt off 😂

[@iceman5117]

​@@ritchcarcass8624is it even possible to be a Matt Tong-level drummer without being at least a little coked up?

[@allenisarunner]

Matt Tong on Silent Alarm is one of my favorite drum performances ever.

[@jeremya535]

The transition into the second verse at 1:53 is my favorite part of the song. Its like Matt Tong is saying "we're still going to another level."

[@srswft]

fills are ridiculously on point

[@ritchcarcass8624]

So hard to recreate

[@tbrookhart]

F*cking poetry! Years go by and this video still gets me going.

[@tomgarlick4824]

HOLY MOTHER OF GOOD GOD ABOVE are you freakin precise! Very well done. Another thing that is crazy is this track was done in multiple cuts in the studio and this dude is playing it in one take!!! Women take notice...this kids a badass.

[@adiblima]

1:48 to 1:54 it's insane. Always loved.

[@birdo1180]

I wrote a comment "1:48 to 1:54" and posted it before seeing yours!! Great stuff

[@Josephtomlee]

This is who they need behind the drum-kit now!

[@martinmosquera1904]

I watched this in my 13-14 years. Now Im 26 and this still make me feel the same extasy sensation watching and hearing this cover. THANKS FOR YOUR DRUM TALENT!!! You are one of the persons that make me feel that drums and percussion are a BEAUTIFULL way to express energy, art and soul.

[@muddykilljoy]

Please join bloc party!

[@terrormonkey763]

gokil yee

[@takafengge]

i've never imagined that this song is played by human, it's something like a computer music. nice work

[@ragekawawa]

Matt Tong writes his drum parts like the first drummer ever. True innovation that you've perfectly matched once again.

[@nobruca]

I'm not a drummer, but I've watched this video over and over again. Can't get tired of it. It's flawless. Keep up the awesome drumming. ❤ from 🇧🇷.

[@alexpickford5726]

If I had to watch one KZbin video before I died, would be this.

[@henybenyfofeny]

I wish I had as much passion for ANYTHING as you do for your drums. You are truly an inspiration to me and seeing your enthusiasm in your playing makes me want to get better at guitar. Your videos in my sub box always end up making my day better, so keep doing what you're doing because you are brilliant

[@JFK-ir7yz]

I transferred to SUNY New Paltz in the spring semester 2005. My entire first semester there, I listened to this album non-stop. This album will forever remind me of one of the greatests times in my life. I love this album

[@druski3751]

This guy is the 🐐 of bloc party drum covers. Can we all agree that?

[@FionaAppleAddict]

Good job. 👍 The best about Bloc Party is their awesome drummer. 🤘

[@JJ62]

I’m not sure how I’ve not seen this before, but I’m a 62 year old East London guy and I think that Silent Alarm is the best debut album I’ve ever heard. Matt Tong held that magnificent album together with his precision percussion (you can’t call it drumming, that’s demeaning) and to this day I can’t think of more than a handful of drummers who could better him. To this kid, who I’ve not heard of before; to nail one of my favourite BP tracks as good as this - if I was wearing a hat right now I’d be taking it off to you. I hope you’re making a career with your skills right now.

[@apestasguey]

heavy pounding like it was written. nice job Red

[@jordansanchez7353]

The 11 people that disliked this had a personal discrimination against gingers. Great job, dude. That was outstanding foot and hand work.

[@poppzs]

best cover i've seen to date. it's a bit of a benchmark for drumming as it's almost hyperactive in it's energy and i'm sure Matt Tong would be proud

[@jordanwashington1744]

Still find myself back here regularly. One of the most passionate drum covers I’ve ever seen. Miss you man!

[@liaomarvin9865]

God knows how many times I have watched this insane video...

[@96blackflag]

it'd really dope if you covered skeleton, one of the hardest songs from bloc party imo. cheers.

[@peterRG91]

Jose Alonso Agreda aaaaaaaand he DID!!!

[@michaelgalasso4173]

Still one of the best drum covers on YT. 🤘🏻

[@annickiiin]

i love this song sooo much because of the drums, and you absolutely killed it!! Hope you still do this 13 years later!

[@TheSimplylean]

One of the best drumming tracks ever, nice work!!

[@lmak1823]

Kelly Clarkson just covered this song & though I’ve listened to Silent Alarm on repeat all these years, it was during her cover I saw how intense the drumming is on this track. I know I always loved Matt’s style but he’s a mad genius. This cover is so good. The timing. Great job. 👏

[@JimWatson10]

love it - still after all these years

[@samnylund9138]

I watched this over 1000 times in college to learn to play - thanks man good stuff

[@DaBroseph1994]

Trueless amazing, I have been waited for a Bloc Party cover for ages and you my friend have delivered! Keep it up x

[@mitch7893]

Jack Colback?

[@M0jibake]

Insanely good. The stop-start section from 2:44 always reminds me of Airbag by Radiohead.

[@red-eb3ty]

Astoundingly good. This is a reminder of how kick-ass a drummer Matt Tong is, and of how good you are. Pretty flawless, and your hi-hat 'spurts' from 2.07 sound so good. Mean right foot too.

[@kevinkunert6972]

fantastic job!! Matt Tong is somewhere grinning with approval!

[@galyien]

I'll be honest I haven't watched any videos lately of your but I'm glad I got to see this. that was awsome man! I hope this passion of yours opens doors for you.

[@lolh4x]

I love this guy. Bring back the Bloc Party ! Complete Silent Alarm discography!

[@nintendiehard]

Rediscovered this song after... God, almost a decade. And this was an amazing video to help bring me back.

[@revat619]

This is one my all time favorite albums as well and i play it all the time in my practice sessions too. So im sure you can imagine i was like uber critical when i saw you covered this....DUDE you absolutely NAILED IT! You're awesome! This is hands down your best cover. All of them are good tho! Keep up the killer work! God bless

[@santiagogutierrez1594]

I love how he is dressed for the part 😂😂 man keep up the good covers my dude

[@JulOyt]

I love the description that you put. I feel the same way too. I agree with you 100%.

[@jaron87floyd]

By far my favorite cover by you

[@futariTV]

One of the best drum covers on KZbin!

[@rum02]

man matt tong is so fucking hard to drum to. I get nervous when I watch clips of them doing their stuff live cos I feel Matt struggles with his own stuff. You really relaxed into the performance towards the end and unleashed. Well done. I'm obssessed with this track and also positive tension

[@lijenamacka]

'Struggles with his own stuff' :)

[@M0jibake]

@@lijenamacka it's true, he always looks so tense when he plays :)

[@Ennui.]

He always did struggle... He regularly went off tempo, driving the whole band either faster or slower completely randomly... But still, Matt is honestly one of the best drummers out there

[@crubba]

dude you are the absolute best! One of my fav Bloc Party songs and you absolutely nailed it. I'm sure Matt Tong would be so proud of you

[@gogetavsvegito]

i come back here after almost 10 plus years and still the best

[@josecarlosgonzalez355]

So Impressive!! all my respects!

[@iawnlad]

Absolute beauty. Still my favourite video on KZbin. Thank you callen. Whenever you may be in Hong Kong.

[@lucasbutterfield7733]

super sick....tight fills, 100% smashed it

[@MVenk]

This is the kind of video that makes me want to learn how to play the drums. Great job.

[@DoubleDowner]

perfect .. love drumming along to this song ... Tong is the best

[@mikshawyer5138]

Wow, 10 years ago.. I hope you’re still playing, that was awesome 👍

[@davidgkx]

You put a big smile on my face!

[@lifelikeweeds819]

Top shelf mate. Really wonderful cover.

[@TheMoyamo]

jesus, blown me away with your drums and you probably also play piano and guitar. and great music taste,too.you are my idol.

[@KidsWithGuns1992]

Wow, I haven't watched one of your videos for over six months - and you have improved immensely! It's amazing to see how far you've come, well done, and I'm excited to see more of your new covers.

[@mukkaspec3333]

Good stuff young man. Would love to see you have a go at The Jam , Funeral Pyre. That would be a beaut for me.

[@dgarreis]

Great vid. I have been behind in watching you vids just realized you have been posting again. Great to see you jamming!

[@davekennedy6315]

£$%&in SPOT ON mate! This has to be quite the challenge too as Matt Tong is one helluva drummer!

[@axn5556]

Triple bass kick machine! Nice job mate!

[@luke_bongoman89]

I was so waiting for this when I asked about it on facebook, can't believe I've only just seen it now. This is epic. Good one man.

[@sammow23]

This is one of the hardest songs to play on the drums I've come across, it took me months to learn! You make it look so easy it's unreal... 10 points to Gryffindor, amazing stuff man

[@gyturralde77]

Inspiring

[@LazersClapAtYou]

was looking for this drum cover and you did not disappoint. almost better hearing it this way than the original song 🔥🔥🔥

[@sonboygarcia]

u do the best drum covers on youtube. it's such a shame that there's other people out there *ahem* (cobus) that has endorsement deals when it should be you that deserves this. no disrespect to them but your covers are pure, raw, & doesn't involve stupid drum trickeries! love the fact that you only set up what you need for the song. just gets on my nerves to see other "cover" artist on youtube get all this exposure when it should be you that everyone needs to know. thanks for the awesome uploads

[@Gabugaburere]

greaaaaat!! really awesome, I missed bloc party covers .

[@Kezz5993]

Oh, God. This is so good. It is my life aim to learn this.
