Chad Gracey Tribute Drum Cover | Live | I Alone

This is a Drum Cover of I Alone by Live which brings me back to when I started playing drums. I remember listening to the album "Throwing Copper" and was blown away by the creativity Chad brought to the songs. What an inspiration!
Hope you enjoy this cover.

Chad Gracey is the reason I started playing drums 23 years ago. His style is sublime, understated and just natural. Every stroke and beat serves the purpose of the song. So hard to find any videos that showcase him. Many thanks for this. I'd love to see you cover Iris - especially the bridge section - where he does the 16 on the hi-hat.

[@DerrickHuntingtonDrums]

Hey Marius!.. Thanks for watching and I know exactly what you mean. Chad has such a RAWness in his style. You take care!

[@sisu4134]

This was AWESOME!! Live was one of my favorites when they came out. The late 90s was when I was graduating high school, moving out on my own, and moving out of state. This band helped me through so much by just listening to them. And you represented Chad beautifully 🙏😊❤️

[@DerrickHuntingtonDrums]

Hi Stacie. I’m so glad you enjoyed the video. All the best! Derrick

[@willem1822]

Nailed it! What great energy. Thank you!

[@DerrickHuntingtonDrums]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@rockanrolico]

Great! It's hard to find videos about this drummer and that song was the first one I learned on drums. thanks for the video

[@DerrickHuntingtonDrums]

Hey Yurix! Glad you liked it and thanks for watching. All the best!

[@dewaldrene]

I was taught never judge a book by its cover. That was solid! Loved it! Well played from a fellow South African drummer

[@DerrickHuntingtonDrums]

Thanks Wayne!.. Appreciate it. Greetings from Aruba!

[@Thefarunlitunknown]

Oh look! A human atomic clock! Absolutely nailed it!

[@DerrickHuntingtonDrums]

😅🙏🏻

[@synthartist69]

Great job. I was about to brush up on this song and your cover came up first on youtube. Thanks for posting!

[@DerrickHuntingtonDrums]

Glad you enjoyed it. All the best!

[@billygoodwynn281]

Wish these videos would’ve been around in the 90s, I had to go to the freedom of Tibetan concert push my way to the front row to make sure I was playing your track correctly

[@spenceradkisson8191]

Nice work dude! I’m playing in a 90’s cover band and this song is in our repertoire. I can only hope to play it as cleanly as you do here. I just want to comment on those cymbals. Hot damn! Those Meinl Byzance Vintage Sand cymbals are otherworldly. I’ve played all kinds of Zildjians (As, Ks, K Con), Sabian HHX Evolution, Istanbul Agop and so on, but the set you have right there is where it’s at. They sound incredible to my ears! They just have this intangible quality that is a straight shot of adrenaline. It brings a whole other dimension to the music. Bravo. Cheers and happy drumming!

[@awalters468]

Well done! A perfect representation of drums. Thanks for sharing :)

[@DerrickHuntingtonDrums]

Glad you liked it!

[@jessepope2746]

This vid taught me how to play this song, very well done, keep it up!

[@DerrickHuntingtonDrums]

Jesse... glad I could help! All the best!

[@johndipietro4560]

Thank you sir!! Perfect!! Very well done!!

[@DerrickHuntingtonDrums]

Glad you liked it John. All the best!

[@MikeStopforth]

Man, you nailed this. That signature snare sound, flow and precision, perfectly curated for the song. Chad is a criminally underrated musician and you did a fantastic job of showing why.

[@DerrickHuntingtonDrums]

Appreciate the kind words Mike! Glad you liked it.. and Chad is indeed a master drummer and musician. All the best!

[@theaxeman87]

Love it! Gracey so underrated imho. He injects a whole other level to LIVE that most don’t even realise.

[@DerrickHuntingtonDrums]

Chad is a beast! Thanks for the awesome words.

[@jamesmccann5305]

great cover bro! nice to see some solid LIVE covers online.

[@DerrickHuntingtonDrums]

Thanks James! Appreciate the nice words. Glad you liked it.

[@chrismuc4023]

Very cool! 👍👍👍👍👍

[@DerrickHuntingtonDrums]

Thanks!!

[@eclipluhqa3942]

That was polished mate, top shelf

[@DerrickHuntingtonDrums]

Glad you liked it! Thanks

[@griffeyjohnson7243]

That crescendo coming after the break is one of the best in music. I gotta play this. Sheer adrenaline. You’re awesome man

[@DerrickHuntingtonDrums]

Thanks Griffey! Glad you liked it man!

[@aaronnotte329]

That snare exactly like the recording great snare

[@DerrickHuntingtonDrums]

Thanks!

[@petey8155]

Crazy dude, every single thing was spot on! I play bass and damn I'd love to have you as a drummer!

[@DerrickHuntingtonDrums]

Petey! Thanks for the nice words man! You’re always welcome to come to Aruba and jam! All the best!

[@carylazar]

Such a great song abs Chad Gracey has such a good groove. You definitely nailed this. I love how this song builds and builds then just explodes in the choruses

[@DerrickHuntingtonDrums]

Glad you liked it Cary. All the best!

[@christopherlima2379]

Nice Cover 🎶🎶🎶

[@DerrickHuntingtonDrums]

Thank you! All the best. 👊🏼

[@darwingabrielconstantinofl3817]

is amazing bro

[@DerrickHuntingtonDrums]

Thank you so much 😀

[@sarcasticallyrearranged]

Did you watch Chad’s video of him drumming their music? I’d like to see a side by side comparison because you did very well!

[@DerrickHuntingtonDrums]

I played it by ear.. I always listen to the drums and try to emulate it. Sometimes O use an app to slow things down for some minor details. Hope this helps. All the best.

[@pat7989]

Pretty good

[@DerrickHuntingtonDrums]

Thanks Patrick. All the best!
