Foo Fighters - The Pretender (Instrumental)

[@omkarshah5862]

Hats off to Taylor or Dave whoever played those drums. It's so "cymbolic", I love it.

[@m.s.aviation7065]

Taylor im pretty sure

[@Panda-s_s]

@@m.s.aviation7065 yeah it was

[@OtavioFesoares]

Taylor was so good that he was able to mimic Grohl’s Bonham-like drumming. This is definitely Taylor.

[@RuSosan]

I see whatcha did there.

[@lucascolter]

​@@m.s.aviation7065yep, always Taylor, he was a badass.

[@antisocialboy3756]

I'm in _love_ with those drums!!! Anyone else? :D

[@Nitsu_]

Yes

[@CallenderMan]

As a drummer who played this in marching band, ABSOLUTELY!

[@christiantaylor385]

Taylor was just the best on the drums

[@NewfieMan98]

i've memorized the whole song and I'm hearing Dave Grohl singing in my head.

[@m.s.aviation7065]

Same lol

[@TheWicky28]

i usually hear the instrumental version to hear some parts of the song that doesnt sound too much in the original version

[@OHHnoYOUdidntMAN]

sometimes it may have "texture-like" differences due to mastering. Instrumentals either aren't mastered or are mastered in a different way. The final song you hear, the original version, is mastered.

[@clippedwings225]

I've been looking for a drum track for this same reason.

[@artisanmage5378]

You can really see how well they are in sync. If you focus on each instrument they don't do anything special. All play their simple rhythm. But It is really easy to notice when something changes. Like a synced Chaos.

[@lowanmoss]

Finally! A normal instrumental verison. You're my hero.

[@AndrewKarczewski]

Such a good song to run too :-)

[@thenickgratton]

I saw something that from rockband, if you're the vocalist not to sing. Make the settings to no-fail and crowd volume down, and just record the audio, you'll get no audio

[@andreeeee517]

or you can just access the games flies and you get a super clean version of every instrument separated. Idk how to tho but that's how they do it

[@bene5805]

This version needs to be in a video game.

If i were to sample this into a rap beat, would I get copywritten?

[@Atari-Dude]

If you were to "Sample this into a rap beat", I'd be angry because you'd sample a song that's actually good into complete shit.

[@adrianb1311]

@@Atari-Dude ya boi is sampling this! Thanks for the approval :)

[@Atari-Dude]

...I'm oh so very glad I could help.

[@Atari-Dude]

All things considering though, theoretically yes you probably very well could get copywritten if you uploaded it on the Internet on sites like KZbin. Because sampling bits, even if it's only a couple seconds worth, isn't considered fair use, and you need to get permission from the original artist and give them royalties. For personal use, that's a whole 'nother thing but if you want to upload it online just be weary of that.

[@adrianb1311]

Fair point, but oh well, its just for the fun of it :D
