Evan Chapman - "Holocene" by Bon Iver (Percussion Cover) *HD*

[@scott55190]

Thank you for this. We walked down the aisle to this at my wedding. You are forever a part of my life.

[@psvishnuprasad4843]

This is the only cover of Holocene that I've heard that manages to capture the essence of the song. There are some really great artists out there who've done an excellent job, but this rendering manages to evoke the same emotion as Justin Vernon's original.

...and I can see for miles, miles, miles

[@wrathofgrothendieck]

great air quality that day

[@JamieCleaton1]

This was a pleasure to listen to. I didn’t know until seeing this video that a vibraphone had a sustain pedal 🤯

[@DiasWowES]

I want cry, because i dont have a friend can make this for me... Evan, you are the best man in the wrold for this.

[@spungymungy]

No guitar were harmed in this video...i looooooooving this!!

[@xamazinggrace]

i'm just sitting here in complete awe, this is brilliant

[@eatingtrees9077]

It saddens me to see the tribute to Tony, and that this was posted when he was still alive and fighting. I remember discovering him back in high school, when I was new to drumming. I was so shocked to hear that he had, and had succumbed to, cancer. What a horrible and terrifying loss. Nevertheless, this is such a lovely tribute, and I'm glad he got to see it.

[@neurular]

What a wonderful tribute to Tony, he would have loved it.

[@TuckMuntarbhorn]

THIS ISISISISISIISISISS SOOO GOOOOD!!!! I'm glad I found someone who loves both Bon Iver and Nils Frahm!!!

[@OrlaCunns]

This is actually one of the most beautiful pieces that I've heard in a long, long time. You've done Bonnie Bear proud, my friend.

[@BourbonInhibitions]

There are no words to adequately describe how much this cover hits you in the chest. Bon Iver is also my favorite band and I have said for years I think Justin Vernon is the most talented musician we will ever see in our lifetimes. You did Justin justice with the brilliance you poured over this creation. One of the most beautifully touching things I have ever seen. Thank you for giving this to us and being so gracious with your immense talent. I'm sure Tony smiles every team he hears someone watch this video.

[@champy1210]

Excellent. Musical talent is a tremendous gift that many do not have. If you have it-like Evan does-appreciate it and do not squander it!

[@burristorn1629]

Every year I come back for the great tony. This is still just as beautiful thank you for doing this.

[@mootzeroni]

Simply Gorgeous. Bravo. Hard to do with such an already beautiful song.

[@GalderVaras]

This cover us just simply fucking amazing

[@jimbofizzive]

Rest in peace, Tony. You truly were the best. You're going to get quite a sending off and quite a reception. You deserve this tribute and SO much more. Peace be with you.

[@drmuckyou]

It feels like you never want to go away from it... Congrats.

This is truly inspiring. You have so much talent. Anybody can put videos of them playing percussion on KZbin, but you are something much different. I cannot stop watching your videos. You are an artist Evan Chapman. Never stop what you do.

[@minjason]

[@ncd46]

[@drumpfuscher]

[@EMOneLifeBand]

More than justice... beautiful

Any chance you'd be willing to share the transcription. Great job, and I agree. All of Justin Vernon's musical outlets have been a truly spiritual thing for me.

[@sincerelyilanaa]

i've been trying to nail holocene on the drums for the longest time, but it's almost pretty impossible to do in one take. buuut, after seeing this, any drum cover of mine won't even compare. this is flawless.

[@tylerleswing]

Terrific arrangement! My favorite cover I’ve heard so far of this song.

[@Blackiechan2711]

Brilliant. I have not found a better cover than this. Its incredibly hard to capture the full power of this song and most covers dont but somehow you managed to. This has been on repeat for days now

[@strange227x]

[@zeppilepelin]

"Someway, baby, it's part of me, apart from me." You're laying waste to Halloween You fucked it friend, It's on it's head, It struck the street You're in Milwaukee, off your feet ... and at once I knew I was not magnificent Strayed above the highway aisle (Jagged vacance, thick with ice) I could see for miles, miles, miles 3rd and Lake it burnt away, the hallway Was where we learned to celebrate Automatic bought the years you'd talk for me That night you played me 'Lip Parade' Not the needle, nor the thread, the lost decree Saying nothing, that's enough for me ... and at once I knew I was not magnificent Hulled far from the highway aisle (Jagged, vacance, thick with ice) I could see for miles, miles, miles Christmas night, It clutched the light, The hallow bright Above my brother, I and tangled spines We smoked the screen to make It what it was to be Now to know it in my memory: ... and at once I knew I was not magnificent High above the highway aisle (Jagged vacance, thick with ice) I could see for miles, miles, miles
