Caravan from Whiplash (Drum Cover) At Talent Show!

Had a blast playing this one with friends! Unfortunately, my right bass pedal had the beater fly off the pedal right before the iconic drum solo (at the end), so I had to adjust to playing without kicks on the spot. Tried my best to improvise in the heat of the moment. Hope you all enjoy! 🥁😁

[@davidlindsey5363]

These kids have no idea how impressive of a performance they just watched really is

[@nohabloemojislosiento4930]

I mean, this dude probably just makes them think it’s an everyday thing to play like this.

[@azerm9]

Most of the percussionists would probably know

[@JTidiotboy]

I'm sure they do. Kids aren't as stupid as some of you like to believe.

[@lilyscoolerthanyou]

Oh I know

[@davidlindsey5363]

@@JTidiotboy yes they are. All of them.

[@wiwiwum45]

You are probably the best high school drummer ive ever seen. 10/10

[@spinsticks2346]

Thank you!

[@Desh727]

I agree. I won awards in high school and got a scholarship, and my close friend, who's also a drummer, plays for the phil harmonic. You're better than we both were in high school.

[@mattiagigliolasessa2601]

Bella cover,affina la tecnica del fast swing

[@benorourke_]

That's absurd. This guy has some chops but I've heard far more mature and tasteful drummers in highschool locally. I'd like to think I was one too ​@Desh727

[@Desh727]

​@benorourke_ lol post a video of you playing caravan and I'll do the same.

[@blvdes]

I've been saying for years that music is gonna have a huge shift when all the kids growing up learning the hardest stuff imaginable start writing their own material

[@JTidiotboy]

You've been saying that super specific thing to random people for years?

[@blvdes]

@@JTidiotboy yeah is that hard to believe when I grew up learning polyphia?

[@hiTocopter]

Feels like you think "the hardest stuff imaginable" somehow is something people are just now starting to strive to play. Like no one has practiced Paganini or Scriabin in the past. Complex music has always been around, and people have always been drawn towards it. And while Caravan or Whiplash aren't easy to play, they're far from the hardest stuff imaginable. So I think you should stop saying that, because it doesn't make much sense.

And yet, the most popular music out there is Tik Tok music. 😑

I was trying to find a way to comment "not my tempo", but then I heard the whole set and can't bring myself to joke about this awesome performance. Bravo!

those ghost notes were nuts jeezus

[@Hawkzgamertv]

I love how the guy with the sax did what fletcher did near the end 🤣

[@bofadeez2112]

This cover is tight! Even without the kick at the end, you kicked ass!

[@spinsticks2346]

Thanks you! I appreciate it 🙏

[@justjayceeok99]

this is the coolest thing ive seen on youtube in a while.

[@spinsticks2346]

Glad you liked it!

[@HeatBoi]

Not gonna Lie, Ya Killed it Homez Bro You even had your Homie act as Fletcher that was Hard

[@spinsticks2346]

Haha thanks man glad you enjoyed!

[@doofs]

though movies are meant to be spectacle, there's something more honest, raw, and jaw-droppingly impressive about your performance. i was breathless the entire time. this was by far the best cover I've seen of the scene byfar and your ghost notes and rolls are out of this world. you're absolutely remarkable man.

[@spinsticks2346]

Thank you so much!!!

[@pulsar-_-4504]

Dude you need justice, this set with falling toms wont do you good, but you still sound MONSTROUSLY INCREDIBLE

[@tntevilutionguy]

YOU ABSOLUTELY NAILED THIS OMG i wish that if you start a career, you'll hit the big leagues!

[@CatnipYoru]

Wow. Truly wow. I've never seen such an incredible drummer, and to think you're only in high school makes it even more astounding

[@poncho_.]

holy shit dude. you fucking rock

[@spinsticks2346]

Hell yeah 🤘

[@16thChemical]

Actually he fucking jazzed.

[@apz6004]

I thought overplaying caravan is impossible, but here we are! how tf are you that skilled?

[@kyleunplugged417]

He wasn't overplaying lol. Overplaying is when you add nothing to a song, but play crazy. He added so much to the song!

[@apz6004]

@@kyleunplugged417 Not too sure about that, but don't get me wrong, it did sound good!

that sax player imitating fletcher killed me lmao amazing performance

[@c.xyz_]

deserves way more recognition 👏🏼👏🏼

[@fufitooo]

As a new drummer, it's videos like this that make me believe that I can one day play this well and to not stop trying . This was an amazing performance!

[@NPC-9361]

You're so fast on the drums, it doesnt even look humanly possible. Amazing performance 🔥🔥

[@Mason_J]

When i looked at this i was saying to myself this guy has gotta be a rock drummer

[@what_homework]

I think that it's not worth comparing this to Whiplash at all! I feel like you really made it your own which made it special and uniquely tasteful. Your expressions and playing reflected that you were having fun and truly in your element! What a blast to listen to!

[@atuchicken]

Were you RUSHING or were you DRAGGING

[@christopher5981]

Bro you need to post this video in another angle, we need to see this with the whole band man, you're amazing 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@inserttromboneplayingfurryhere]

you’ve earned the part. JOKES ASIDE I LOVE THIS SO MUCH THAT COVER WAS SO GOOD, IF I EVER GET TO PLAY MY TROMBONE IN A PERFORMANCE IF CARAVAN I WOULD DIE HAPPY SEEING THE DRUM SOLO IN PERSON YOU WERE AMAZING

[@dantheman3825]

I honestly though i have talent but you have surpased my imagionation of greatness in music. Esspesially jazz

[@ry6554]

You see. This is the good ending. He plays for the audience. And himself. Never for Fletcher.

[@debim2013]

🎉🎉🎉 dude i cant even do that thanks bro your the best all time!

just came across this hidden gen brotha, your chops are insane, keep ts up 🙏

[@jesulobaolaoye4648]

My goodness me of jollof rice, the only problem I have..... is that you weren't picked to be the drummer in the whiplash. 11/10 performance. insane skill, flams, fills, stick control🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@Idksomething946]

Bro you are astonishing and you left me dumbfounded with how good you were, wow!

[@Marlboro.Red.187]

[@davidoffired_6869]

No words bro well played. I just pray that your girl saw that f increadible perfomance

[@BRANDRUMZ]

Great cover! Can tell you’re having a ton of fun. I’m trying to play this and realize it’s open to a lot of interpretation! The Questionable: Interesting choice to use the FX crash, wasn’t a fan of using the open hi hat, was unsure if your left foot was moving enough throughout, and couldn’t tell how the second swing section felt - know people have issues with the speed and triplets. Felt like you were rushing, genuinely 😂, though I couldn’t hear the band very well. The Good: Everything Else All in all, I can only point out the bad/unsure - because that was awesome and everything else is incredibly impressive. 🙌 I hope I’m this good soon! What transcription did you use?

[@big_mac978]

this is the best performance i’ve seen from a talent show ever🔥

[@spinsticks2346]
