Crooks UK - Dear Reader - Drum Cover by David Diepold

[@atomictoaster8013]

6 years on, and it’s still possibly the best hardcore record I’ve ever listened to

[@TheSinlessAssassin]

Oh man didn't realize how damn good the drumbeat was for this song. I know I could always just listen to it, but to see it is a whole other thing. RIP to this band. They really were something special and on the start of something good.

[@smithpmusic]

It's nice seeing something a bit slower but still technical! Shows how versatile of a drummer you are

[@monalisadabbing7491]

Mano a mano with Mano RK what

[@chiefjeef9267]

Holy shit David, the camera work and over all production are incredible dude. Great stuff as always.

[@DylanPottsDrums]

This video made me a fan of this band. They rule so hard. So does this cover. Everything you touch is gold, my dude.

[@colinserbu2006]

I like your music choices bro.

[@avp927]

that snare is fucking amazing

[@wilhelmmetal6718]

Yet again immaculate.

[@nikornla]

This sounds... so beautiful!!!

[@cgrind3000]

Always thought the drumming was really sick on this album (which was very underrated IMO)

[@Simon_Salazar]

insanely clean

[@ballessmans]

That restored kit be killer

[@Anaximander29A]

Definetly one of the best YT drummers. I didn't see many drummers who are fluent in so many styles (from Dave Weckl over Karnivool to Extreme Deathmetal) and totally nail them all!!!

[@xthek3n038]

glad to see, that you still can play great stuff on a small kit, would love to see more of these!

[@arnaudg.1605]

Thank you David, I discovered a great band with your help.

[@dbhc2904]

I discovered Crooks by following you, so... thanks :D !

[@zachvoytas]

love the snare sound

[@espenaldegarmann1178]

Haha! It's wierd seeing u with such a small kit when u ussually play on a massive kit

[@livingalife6057]

simple setup yet great cover!

[@loneryouth]

killed it bro! god i miss this band😥

[@khushilsolanki9943]

Man you are such an awesome drummer and inspiration for us!!:) You motivate us every single days of our lives to go behind the drum kit and practise more!!!😊

[@sanchoddrums]

I got a fever. The only prescription is more blast beats at 250bpm.

[@sharrythedave4758]

Dominic Sanchez may I give you that prescription ?

[@seththemetalhead3079]

Man, I love that drum kit. Nice cover man

[@FUZZEYHIPPO]

The rivets on the hihats give the cymbals such an awesome sound, sounds more full to me when they are closed.

[@izmeqfenner8130]

I fucking love Crooks, "Are we all the same distance apart" is definitely one of my favourite album, all the melody and emotion flows really well and i'm really glad that you covered this David, i was expecting either "Schone Seele" or "A Few Peaceful Days" but "Dear Reader" is a perfect song to cover as well. Cheers man!

[@mt.sinnamon9562]

I like the variety of music taste, from really brutal stuff, to Deathcore stuff like Whitechapel, and then tasteful Metalcore. I'm liking it man! There are lots of Metal elitists out there, but this really shows that even someone who likes brutal stuff can still love stuff like this :) Great song choice, too. I'll have to check these guys out.

[@codygreer2940]

Hahahahaha thank God I'm mature enough to allow myself to listen to any genre of music instead of limiting myself heavily to extreme metal This song is tight tho

[@kirillbarr]

David, thank u for what you doing ♥️ Crazy!

[@pwtrdalton427]

Great stuff. One of my favorite tracks from the album. Also, really like the way this was shot. I'm not usually a fan of dynamic camera work on covers and playthroughs, but this is tasteful.

[@kenyot2]

YEAH finally you did it, next counterparts

[@minimartin4o]

Sick, David! Greetings from Bulgaria!

[@cauliflowerpete616]

Still my favourite intro drumming wise of any song.

[@PhilTheDirtoffizial]

Wieder sehr geil! Greez, Phil!

[@yeetyee7066]

That one is awesome! :3

[@atopermusic]

the king as a peasant for a day

[@lastditch727]

nice man, great job all around

[@rodcssilveira]

I'm still looking for flaws on this video. Nice enviroment: Check! Cool drum setup: Check! Sound Quality: AMAZING! It's terrific for me to confirm that David is possibly not human and more than playing, he and his team know how to extract the best from all components that makes a drum video incredible! Keep rocking it, dude! Cheers from Brazil!

[@Anders2332]

Excellent!

[@winter_metal]

bro! you come back yeaaah!!

[@PacenoteMedia]

Awesome cover mate !

[@ryanwoodlock4005]

im loving the drum roll at 2:19

[@junrobs]

My idol

[@olegcarcass]

❤

[@rodcssilveira]

Oh, by the way, it would be awesome to see links in the description with the exact gear he's using. I know we have the specs, but sometime it's difficult to find it!

[@Vulpez]

Besser als alle anderen deiner Videos. Bei weitem interessanter als der Rest. Ist sicherlich die Abwechselung

[@furcoat9458]

Heck yea David keep it up

[@nathantron25666]

he always chooses the prettiest/best settings :o

[@asaasu8733]

i like your fill drum.. so cool..

[@rasecthebloody]

I liked this "little" drum set, not up with the genre but your performance was unmatched, as ever. Greetings, mate.

[@GamerXLife]

so Good 👏👏

[@maytoster6160]

Where is David huge drum kit ??

[@shredfactor7]

Have you thought of covering some New Benighted? psychosilencer is a great track

[@mitchwarren1600]

I'd not heard Septicflesh until I discovered your version now I'm addicted ✊️

[@mitchwarren1600]

Those cymbals sound so swish. Anyone know the make?

[@dergrimmhatecult6186]

they look like murat diril customs but iam not sure edit: they are and some other murats mixed into the set up just checked the description^^

[@mitchwarren1600]

Thanks yes of course in the description !

[@vivascs]

muito bom David

[@elismarmoraes]

He could be better than original song. Amazing, excellent drummer.

[@renshammar]

Liking dat snare

[@flitipli]

AMAZING AS ALWAYS !! I love all your vids David :P One thing : i prefer without beard or mustache x)

[@EvilSamson95]

juicy !

[@teezdon8646]

What ride do you use? And hi hat? What cymbals do you use in general lol

[@chad9160]

He endorses Murat Diril cymbals. 14” Custom hats (Arena Top, Mosaic Bottom with holes and rattles) 19” Custom Crash with 7” Custom Splash on top 21” Custom Ride 18” Renaissance brilliant China

[@MrPokesmot32]

dude what are your two crashes (or crash and ride or whatever your two mains here)? They sound amazing

[@BurnTheNuance]

Ancalagon Ullr Description yo'

[@MrPokesmot32]

BurnThePope shoot didn't even look. Thanks man!

[@MrPokesmot32]

Actually to continue on, who did the cymbals lol is custom the brand or am i just ignant?

[@BurnTheNuance]

Ancalagon Ullr If you look in the description right before the gear list are two links, the second one Murat Diril are the cymbals my man!

[@MrPokesmot32]

BurnThePope god fail! Thanks

[@RickStolz]

WTF? Thats so smooth :D Nice :D

[@alt_rawrXD]

I didn't expected that Diepold playing a Post-Hardcore song cover while still being affiliated with death metal bands for years ... I'd would've rather you cover up Dance Gavin Dance, Chiodos, Attack Attack!, Bring Me The Horizon, The Devil Wears Prada, Asking Alexandria, Of Mice & Men, Issues, The Word Alive, Escape The Fate, Falling In Reverse, From First to last, Hawthorne Heights, or any other 2000s and early 2010s alt emo/scene or metalcore bands

[@conradnel6151]

that snare tone

[@M0NST3RRR]

good shit bro👍👍👍

[@samuelbalavoine5031]

How about venetian snares covers? :d

[@diamondharald3108]

Great, Cool !! Skål!!!!!!!....

[@kennethricker5542]

Fuck yeah dude I’ve watched a lot of your covers but this was sick seeing this style rather then what I’m used to from you.

[@nicocilli2657]

DIril Copper series?

[@Warhammer40J]

is that a sonor kit?

[@aricketts2000]

FUCK YEAH!!

[@theScienceOfFear2012]

cool song, had never heard of crooks before , you should check out aversions crown latest album , would make some great drum covers

[@aldolammel]

2:17 - Edition sync error! :(

[@alank.c.3822]

Such smoll kit for you But in reality, you are seriously good in every style you play, probably one of the most versatile drummers so far

[@candybittertaste102]

I think this is better than original..

[@neonfurymoon]

A Few Peaceful Day

[@serjob.g3426]

y la Pearl?

[@sahilvaidya5683]

Man mixes his shit up

[@BurnTheNuance]

Hmm, neat.

[@MrDu97]

monster

[@dmnscks]

nice

[@samuelbalavoine5031]

Weow :D Hi Dielpold :d

[@Leo-yn5fx]

Dude how many drumsets do you own ffs lmao.

[@BrianGivensYtube]

Stepping it up! This is like some Luke Holland shit man! Great job!!!

[@cassiobortolini]

Owwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

[@shallnotbeinfringed5916]

Let’s see you do a despised icon cover ills of a modern man at least

[@Das_Akki]

Smaller... but still great drumkit :D

[@ichtudurwehblah]

Do sit and rot by WECAMEWITHBROKENTEETH

[@HydraSperati]

This mix with your drumming is so much better than the original!

[@SWC-el8lp]

Why do y'all always got to talk shit about something when y'all try to praise something else? The original song and album are a classic as far as I'm concerned, and his cover is also incredible.

[@MrLenny9999]

DUDE you're insane PLS REPLY!! That song is boring but still you're an bad ass drummer ❤😄😄😄

[@musisikamar8140]

this song is too easy for you dude!!

[@TheJokesterSCR]

Honestly, I wouldn't mind something like this if you uploaded more often. You're one of the best drummers I've seen, and when it's months between uploads, songs like this are disappointing. Even the Dave Weckl cover was amazing. This one was just kind of a let down. Meh... it's cool. I shall await the next video. :D

[@edgarkreiter638]

OneSickDrummer you should keep in mind such covers are linked with some amount of work.. Btw david has a job & a private life aswell, just saying :b

[@TheJokesterSCR]

Eddie Kreiter Oh yeah, I get it... it's just that I think he really deserves a lot more attention than he's getting. Everyone wets themselves over Joey Jordison, but hardly anybody (relatively speaking) knows of David Diepold. I think it would help build his fan base if he uploaded more in general. The dude is an absolute monster behind the kit! I dare say he is my favorite drummer right now. So, I'm not trying to bash him. Just want more insane death metal madness, since it's been like 3 months since the last upload. Ready for my Diepold fix, haha!

[@edgarkreiter638]

OneSickDrummer hahaha i see, well indeed. He's definitely underrated, but i'm pretty sure he'll be successfull in future (; You should probably check out his bands new single: Give em Blood - Holes In case you missed it

[@TheJokesterSCR]

Eddie Kreiter Well damn... where have I been? lol! I appreciate it brotha!

[@dmnscks]

Vocals, mildly remind me of Linkin Park.

[@stevenaestrada1163]

Good that you’re having fun but nothing but amateur teen drumming

[@GregoryDrummer970]

Some of y'all some real closed-minded individuals.

[@danielcosta7650]

Nile,Cannibal,Fleshgod????????????????????????????????????????????????

[@macleod1592]

Way too much crash cymbal. I never understood the need to ride a crash cymbal for a whole song.

[@tuanacab2249]

It is awkward to watch you play this kind of setup. Hahahaha

[@hardsoftgames8344]

you ain't a drummer if you don't sometimes step away from blasts to rock some 4/4 shit

[@majinrebornx2220]

Don't get me wrong this guy is awesome but I'm pretty sure I could be this good if my parents were rich and i could sit at home everyday playing drums...

[@stefanhirschmann9478]

Majin Rebornx22 dude your totally wrong!

[@SuperJeffhardy234]

2 years passed and this is still the stupidest comment i've ever read.

[@nomiS.933]

One of the dumbest comments I have ever read.

[@watchyourst3p]

Great playing and amazi... nah! Gay song Leopold.
