Drum Cover: Avenged Sevenfold - Bat Country

[@kissland2789]

Still the best "Bat Country" drum cover on KZbin to this date.

[@Mikeondrums24]

Really nice of you to say, thank you so much for watching and commenting! Lots of good inspiration for me to pull from on KZbin.

[@thommyocta272]

Yes,agree with u

[@nickrizzo4635]

I concur. Dude’s a machine

[@Anonymous-zp6pw]

Check this one out! kzbin.info/www/bejne/moLaZapvjMyLmbM

[@Mikeondrums24]

@@Anonymous-zp6pw Broooooo hahah 😂

[@wshc]

This is the first Bat Country cover that actually follows the music perfectly and executes it perfectly. Reverend would be proud.

[@Mikeondrums24]

Very glad you enjoyed it friend! I definitely tried to stay as faithful to the original parts as I could. Although every now and then you'll see me stray for a fill or two. But yeah it should be all there for the most part haha thanks for watching!

[@randommetalhead7]

Mike Di Guglielmo 3:29 No double bass 0/10 u suck loljk you fucking rock dude clean as fuck gg

[@ritchiegomez5196]

11 years and still the best cover of "Bat Country" ever

[@Mikeondrums24]

Too kind Ritchie, thank you 🙏

[@Atmsphrmistykal]

Bruh. i mean his cover is good but, go check El Estepario Siberiano and say that again

[@Hangman_GG]

@@Atmsphrmistykal this one is better than his imo, more accurate overall

[@Atmsphrmistykal]

​@@Hangman_GG I know what you're trying to say but, as a drummer, i can tell you it's not. It's less accurate. Also his technique is too rough and you can feel in his movements that it is not instinctive at all

[@Hangman_GG]

@@Atmsphrmistykal Maybe so, alls i know is that i enjoy watching this performance of it better than El Estepario. Cant put my finger on it, just feels more alive

[@vadimkudinov4118]

Damn, that was the most clean cover of that song i've seen on the internet! Thank you a lot and keep on fighting!!!

[@Mikeondrums24]

Your support is more than appreciated my friend, thank you!

[@Edward-xb9zb]

[@gamevault4580]

Has to be one of the hardest drum somgs

[@Mikeondrums24]

Definitely wasn't easy. Sometimes I wonder if I still remember how to play it haha. Thanks for watching!

[@pookapookyoyo3095]

Well, definitely not the hardest! I'm actually learning it right now, and i'm having a really hard time, especially because of the tempo differences and the random smalls fills!

[@alakhgange]

pookapook yoyo same here

[@kylerollins6483]

Mike Diggs but easier or harder than beast and the harlot?

[@therevx5225]

Mike Diggs I guess you could say it was Almost Easy. Sorry I had to

[@ZackMester]

Hands down the best drum cover of bat country i've found on the internet. suscribing.

[@Mikeondrums24]

So grateful for your appreciation! Thanks for the view AND the subscribe my man, you're the best! Stay tuned I'm hitting the studio April 10th for an Animals as Leaders cover.

[@Mikeondrums24]

Ah man to be honest I can't remember the specifics, most of those are broken now but I know the ride is a 22" Sabian AA, left and far right crashes are both Zildjian A series probably 18" and 19" respectively, middle crash is a Zildjian A custom probably 18", splash is a Zildjian A Series although I cant remember the measurements exactly on that, and the hats are Zildjian mastersounds 14"

[@asyrafnfl]

Still the best cover in my opinion so far. great job

[@Mikeondrums24]

Thank you so much!

[@Mikeondrums24]

more than glad to hear something like that and probably undeserving of it too. thanks for the extra motivation!

[@samnewton1]

[@ColeyBBQ]

I’ve gone down a The Rev wormhole for the last couple of days, as yesterday was 11 years since he passed. This, without doubt, is the single best thing I’ve watched, other than the great man himself. Outstanding work.

[@Mikeondrums24]

Hey thanks Mark, nice of you to say that man. I'm happy to be one of so many talented drummers that have paid tribute to him on KZbin over the years!

[@nhisham79]

Saw it a month ago and I just can't stop coming here again and again and watch this awesome cover of my favorite "drum" song! Was an everyday thing in the beginning. (Must've given it 100+ views already lol) How this has only 50k views is just beyond me. This is the best and the most authentic cover for the song on KZbin. Deserves 950k more! Bruv you've gotta make more covers.. you've got fans. Best regards from India

[@Mikeondrums24]

I cannot express my appreciation for all the love brother! Much back to you from America, I am working on a new cover this month and it should be out in a few weeks my friend. Thank you again for your kind words and support! :)

[@Mikeondrums24]

LMAO Thank you!

[@ultraphobic69]

Really impressive Mike. Its great to see someone actually work out every aspect of a song and not just fluff over all the hard bits. That song has so much stuff going on in it...the Rev had that marvellous balance of technical brilliance coupled with what was right for the song. I love his playing and it was a pleasure to watch what he did on the kit to accomplish that. Great work!

[@Mikeondrums24]

Paul Morton Thanks man glad you enjoyed this. For a song like this I definitely wanted to stay faithful to the original parts of the song since Jimmy made them so iconic and unique. Of course there are a few parts here and there where I may have throw in an extra fill or a couple more strokes, but all in all I tried to maintain fidelity as much as I could! Thanks for watching guy!

[@omurjack]

You're fuckin' crazy man. So amazing. Cheers from Turkey :)

[@Mikeondrums24]

Thank you!

[@scast020]

Great, great cover. Clean, super close to studio version, & still add own here and there very subtly. My favorite cover of the song. Even w.o the china. Crisp with the splash during solo lol 👍

[@Mikeondrums24]

So glad you enjoyed and I greatly appreciate the kind words! Yeah that splash came in handy haha I never was able to get my hands on a china so I figured that would be an okay substitute for the china. As far as fidelity goes, the Rev's parts are pretty intricate, I definitely wanted to stay faithful to them. I couldn't help but throw a little something different in here and there but like you said, only very subtly. Thanks again so much for watching!

[@felipe.mfondevila3209]
