One of the hardest alternative rock song to cover - endurance wise. For those who ever tried to play it. More than amazing job you've done there Jeff!

[@JeffRandallDrumming]

Thanks bud!

[@mannyperezmakesthismusic]

I suck at drums, but I used to try to play it a few times for cardio!

[@fridaynightgamefilm]

Monkey Wrench is the ultimate workout.

[@themodernshoe2466]

This song was very hard in Rockband

[@brown_bovine]

oh i’ve tried and it’s hard indeed

[@kirjian]

It's SO satisfying to see you play fills you've taught us before in actual songs. 🔥

[@JeffRandallDrumming]

Yes! So glad you noticed. I really only have a few different kinds of fills that I gravitate towards and they're all super versatile.

[@limbongreynaldi2726]

the shirt makes it more intense

[@JeffRandallDrumming]

Haha, gotta have that fan on in there! It gets so stinkin’ hot.

[@samsambanana]

Best comment.

[@muchasxmaracas]

Imagine a Foo Fighters gig: Dave Grohl asks the audience if there are drummers who want to play drums for Everlong and Jeff shows up.

[@TiagoDrumming]

that would be epic! hahah :D

[@chuzjes2882]

I agree haha, that would be epic!

[@drummerd3339]

I agree too, the only way to learn that sounds is to be able to jog 10 miles a day to build up your stamina!! Wow, what a great, fantastic kick ass cover, one of the best I've seen!

[@eliotrobinson9613]

That would be fire

[@mrdanomac7937]

The trick to this is building up your wrist speed. If you try to play it any other way you are in for stamina he'll. 😂

[@brianmclendon1647]

This dudes snare technique is the best I have ever seen, gotta start working on the moeller method right away!!!!!!! You killed it dude, absolutely slaughtered this song. I think it’s better than on the record.

[@JeffRandallDrumming]

Thanks Brian! Yeah man, the Moeller technique is such a useful tool to have in your arsenal. I gotta make a lesson on it at some point!

[@waknatious]

The dark, desperate energy of this song is what it's all about and you captured it perfectly. Kudos.

[@georgecollings3565]

This might actually be the cleanest cover I’ve ever seen, insane!

[@orangekayak]

Dude! You jumped on a big one! I struggle with relentless hat/snare pattern on the front of this song, regardless of it being all single strokes. 16th notes at over 150 bpm is a younger mans game, but thanks for making it look easy!

[@JeffRandallDrumming]

It definitely took a lot of work building my chops up for this song! The kick drum technique is no joke too. Looking forward to sharing some techniques that helped me out with you guys soon.

[@cussyrichards6121]

Lol, look up Kevin Paradis - he can hold 16th notes at 300bpm for 10mins straight

[@LaurensKuppens]

Something hypnotizing about how this is played in combination with the framerate. Absolute killer performance!

[@alexlawrence9205]

This should be the example of a perfect drum cover. You made this your own unique cover, without losing the song or original drums along the way. And you made it look absolutely effortless. Bravo, this is absolutely outstanding,

[@odvedokikrema]

probably the best i've heard... a lot of guys struggle with the hihat, but you got the wrist technique working for you, without missing any punch on breaks and beat... just awesome

[@anthonypowles4100]

You played all the fills SO smooth, bonus points for the beastly snare sounds, killer cover

[@floogle123]

I love this interpretation of this song. Dave always puts so much raw emotion into his drumming. And this is a true fan of that emotion.

[@_ajms_6700]

This is by far my favourite drum cover of this amazing song. Really great drumming.

[@brandonhaywood426]

Kuddos Jeff! This cover is all that! It's crazy that Taylor Hawkins can pull this song off night after night as the encore song, after playing for 2.5 hours straight. Just friggin' nuts!

[@GeoffGillDrums]

Tight AF, fluid and slamming. Anyone that dismisses Grohl or Taylor H as knuckledraggers...HAS NEVER PLAYED THIS SONG. 🤘😎🤘

[@JakeStaffin]

AMAZING cover of an absolute classic!! Holy crap, your drums sound so good, especially that kick drum, what a tone coming out of that!!

[@paulbfields8284]

That was outstanding.. it helps so much to see it .. just back into the drums and this just makes me wanna go downstairs and play.. I’m not here yet but it’s nice knowing what I’m after.. thank you

[@tjzorn9132]

Nail on the head. Great high swing and flow forward!!!

[@mantas01]

random comment to boost the algorithm. I like this song very much and this drum cover is awesome!

[@andyg629]

"and that's how you get the gig" - Dave King

[@garyzapel4022]

Smooth drumming!

[@duaneegan8062]

How you play this song is memorizing. Fantastic.

[@kevinc5771]

This really highlights how busy the drums in this song are, great cover!

[@sub-jec-tiv]

You can absolutely tell the songwriter is a shredding rock drummer, yet somehow it’s not too much. Like all those wonderful details he put into Nirvana tunes that you can’t imagine the song without. His own songs are like those moments, but for almost an entire tune. Foo Fighters are the most epic rock drum music of all time. So much respect to those buddies, and i’m sorry for his loss. (Again.)

[@jarrahdrum]

I’ve never heard or seen this so good. 🙏

[@DrGray_Drummer]

Very creative to throw that Steppin Wolf fill/solo in there.

[@JeffRandallDrumming]

You noticed! That’s a go-to fill style of mine for sure. It works in so many situations.

[@drummerchilipepper]

Love the way you gently move. You got a good technique. And you got good groove

[@JeffRandallDrumming]

Thanks!

[@pboybad]

One of my fave songs, one of my fave KZbin drummers. Perfect

[@adi14293]

damn, this gotta be one of the hardest drum covers i ever seen. I know this dude tired af after this one lmao

[@drumlabonline-simonemarchi5808]

Man! Your sound, your control, your chops...Just amazing!!!

[@Chaos0498]

I like this drum cover

[@adzmorris]

Epic playing man. Dynamics, chops, energy, groove, kit sounds great. Bloody well done!

[@dannylugojr3428]

I really enjoyed your playing here. From the beginning it was powerful !!!

[@dusselkopp9333]

One of the best covers of this song on KZbin! Love the ease you're playing with!

[@ckdragonborn6592]

Smooth criminal 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🔥

[@era2327]

Those fills are the cleanest fuckin thing I’ve seen in a minute!

[@Bonniesplushhow]

This song is so good

[@arifsallehhudin8483]

best part about ur channel is... u play exactly the same... no poser's fill (overly annoying) and you teach some good and benificial techniques so people can improvise anf be creative... the kind of channel I've been looking for years... KUDOS

[@JeffRandallDrumming]

Much appreciate bud.

[@danianitellidrums]

Perfect all around Drummer!

[@EnochGilbert]

Perfect time keeper !

[@FlyinTools]

Absolutely smashed it. Amazing performance

[@roflopoulos1633]

This video deserves WAY more views/likes.

[@CynicalWolverine]

Nailed it, love it.

[@kathirandallwhitt]

Oh my gosh. May I say that may be a bestie. You just blow me away with your abilities and sound. So proud. Whoa.

[@Sausagey2]

Damn, that hihat though, how’d you get your endurance like that? I can feel my forearms burning just by watching.

[@Christopher-md7tf]

It's always the same advice: Start slow, focus on staying relaxed and playing with precision (if you can't slow it down further), stay at that tempo until you feel totally comfortable, then very gradually move the tempo up and repeat the process until you have reached your desired tempo. There's no magic pill, it just requires dedication and patience. In general, I think practicing the book "Stick Control" is a great way to build technique, power, precision, control, and endurance.

[@stierspider-man2559]

Been working on this song for years now and I'm still stuck with developing the groove. Here's what I learned so far: •Play from the wrist, not the elbows. The only time you use your elbow is when your hand goes from the hat to the snare and back. •When playing, focus more on lining up the bass and snare. The handwork would be nothing without having a precise bass-snare foundation. •Rimshots. Don't forget about them. •Work on your subdivisions through a metronome. Start slow and gradually go fast.

[@danyonf14]

I played this song on rock band back in the day. Not the same but same endurance. I now can play this song with ease on my kit

[@wastedninjadude]

Three words: Don't tense up.

[@maxwellsouder328]

Learn to use your fingers instead of your arms and wrists, push pull technique. Matt mcguire has a great video on it.

[@YT-User1013]

Excellent!

[@steff4602]

One of these videos where you think: damn, i have to go back to my drumset and work on my mojo! Loved the fills in the chorus. Thanks for the great video !!

[@JeffRandallDrumming]

Thanks Steffen!

[@BenMinal]

MATE! This is absolutely killer!

[@JeffRandallDrumming]

Thanks Ben! Hope you're well bud.

[@goonie8117]

See I prefer this cover over others because Jeff puts his own feel onto it which most drums don’t do

[@afrohop]

Great performance. Great song choice and production quality is high along with the mix. I love the editing of just going right into the song. I like the camera placement as well. From the perspective of a drummer it’s nice to be able to see what hand technique is being used.

[@JeffRandallDrumming]

Thanks very much!

[@billyyfire]

What a beautiful song, the intensity. Yours drums was amazing as well, but i'm struck with how well figured out these hole composition is, it just has it ✨

[@eddieavakian]

Hell yeah! That’s was awesome Jeff. I can’t wait for the breakdown on this monster drum part and performance

[@DmitryKrasnikov]

One day his gorgeous haircut grows enough to cover his drum set from any rain.

[@sazarac28]

Damn Jeff! You killed that. There’s no question who the man is

[@PatFlanigan]

DAMN dude I love your technique so much! Keep it up, man your channel is one of my fav drum channels!

[@Thegameshowcase]

Hell yeah! Bro wtf. This is even better than the original! I can't wait for the tutorial!

[@muss1429]
