IRON MAIDEN - WASTED YEARS - DRUM COVER by CHIARA COTUGNO

[@EstevanDrummer]

You nailed the intro, which is really really hard... Congratulations and respect.

[@ggiiuulliio10]

right? i listened the intro like 10 times, that part when the beats become 1 milion and then goes back to normal like at 0:24, i am no drummer but was able to spot it, very nice

[@sergioamayajr.5868]

Life doesn't get any better than this. My favorite Maiden song covered by my favorite drummer. She's so precise with them sticks and full of joy. 😷

[@ChiaraCotugnoDrums]

Thanks a lot! 😊

So Nicko McBrain the guy that actually wrote this song isn’t your favourite drummer?

[@mikewasko4964]

More iron maiden please !! One of the greatest bands and brilliant musicians. A world wide following still today. In my humble opinion I think iron maiden was basically the dream theater of the 80s with the best instrumentals of any band in that time ..if you like bass and drums ,you cant help liking iron maiden .

[@ChiaraCotugnoDrums]

You're absolutely right! 😉

[@kevinpatrick8788]

Love the way you pay attention to all the little nuances...especially the many high hat fills. You don't "overplay" either with a bunch of unnecessary cymbal crashes. Excellent work!

One of my favourite songs and I remember rushing to my local town to buy it in 1986. Once the album came out later that year, I was sooooo excited! Another fantastic cover as usual Chiara..........you have that lovely soulful playing and respect for the music.

Good job and great song. The last iron maiden album i bought. I bought it just for that song. number of the beast and piece of mind i couldnt get enough of. ahhh, early 80's rock, well somewhere in time - 1986 i believe so later 80's rock also. the good old days.

One of my favorite Iron Maiden songs. Thank you for covering it 👍

[@mattdrummond3552]

1. You're awesome Chiara. Gender aside, you're an excellent and tight drummer. That said, I think it's pretty cool to see a woman playing stuff like prog-rock and metal, since you literally never see it. I hope your videos inspire people who normally wouldn't have any participation in the prog/classic rock/metal world! 2. Have you explored Genesis, King Crimson or Yes yet? I'd kill for you to cover anything by them; especially Bill Bruford, as he's my favorite drummer of all time. I might as well tell you good choices to cover: Close to the Edge by Yes, One More Red Nightmare by King Crimson, Back in NYC by Genesis (this song is really difficult on drums). Despite this being my first comment, I've been watching your videos the past couple of years. Big fan!
