P.O.D. ~ Youth of the Nation (Drum Cover)

***OVER 10,000 VIEWS!!!!!*** Thank you all so much!
This is a drum cover for Youth of the Nation by P.O.D. But you probably already gathered that from the title. :)
Please comment and rate; I like to hear what you think!
Drumset: TD-20SX
Recording software: Garageband
Laptop: 13.3" Macbook Pro
Here's how I record my drums. I use this cable...
www.google.com/products/catalo...
...so that the two mono 1/4" cables plug into the L and R Master Out on the TD20 module, and the 3.5mm stereo jack end plugs into my Macbook, I then record right into Garageband.
I use a 1/4" stereo to 3.5mm stereo cable from the mix in to my iPod for playing along to music.
By default the TD20 records the mix in to the master out. If anyone records a drum cover with a track playing from your iPod through the TD20's Mix in jack, you would not be able to boost the volume of the drums, or boost the volume of the track, because the mix in is being sent to the master out. (drums and audio being recorded as one track)
I wanted to have the freedom to control the audio level of both the drums and the audio, so I changed the Mix in settings to be outputted to the headphones only. I changed this by pressing the following on the TD20:
Setup - F2 - F4
...and changed the output on the Mix In to headphones only.
This meant when I recorded my drum cover, ONLY my drums were recorded into Garageband. I then added the music in as a separate track.
Of course, a Firewire or M-Audio recording interface would be ideal, but this setup works for what I'm doing. :)

I watched this 13 years ago and still remember your energy to this day, came back just to relive it again.. this song is timeless.

[@Aaron48219]

I like the energy you play with. Watching this makes me want to drive 150 down the freeway.

[@stuntaaa101]

wow, seriously amazing, the tom sequence in the intro gave me chills!!

[@elizabethkennedy7521]

Wow this is my new favourite video on the internet. Really clean sound, you keep it so sharp. The toms give off a sound very similar to a regular snare. Love it.

[@iknowitstextingnew3440]

already gathered

[@juansebastian4943]

3:10 genial!!

[@bubbadabub]

First cover where I was truly impressed. Keep up the great work.

[@kisslordorochimaru]

This is the very reason why my favorite instrument will forever be the drums.You did an excellent job on this,its way,way better than the original by far and you gave it so much more power and intensity on top of that.

[@GmanForce422]

Awwwww, shucks. :) Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed watching it, and I hope it has inspired you to play your percussion with much gusto and joy, or something along those lines. :D

[@bloo_110]

Oh man how have I seen this so late. What a drum cover man!

[@LeeButtersnaps]

That intro

[@dazspeed5952]

Damn dude! Masterpieces don't usually get improved but you did!

[@GmanForce422]

Aw thank you so much man! Appreciate the kind words. Still love this song so much. :)

[@pjunior06]

drums hit the spot when I'm drunk, well I'm drunk and just had an eargasm!!

[@BudniSantekhnika]

Это сейчас вот, очень круто было! (Amazing)

[@doob776]

One of my favorite fucking songs of all time. I'm glad you didn't ruin it.

[@user-nb3bc3dc1j]

Im learning this on drums to do as a statement piece at school and this actually helped me see the beat

[@ulyssesbm]

Melhor Cover de Batera que tem para essa música - Parabéns....

[@p4uloj0se65]

[@donniedrums7906]

thanks dude. I had another video to post, but we didn't have time to edit before my band left for a 7-week tour. We just got back, and should be able to get some more material up very soon. Thanks for the encouragement!

[@GmanForce422]

@bubbadabub Thank you so much for your encouraging words! :D I'm going to try to get some more covers up soon, hopefully.

[@asmrzone6832]

Amazing man

[@Quarker]

Phenomenal. Absolutely phenomenal mate, awesome cover with energy that gives full respect to the original song & its meaning. Well done.

[@SeptemberDream18]

Out of all the drum covers of this song I've seen so far. I think yours is by far the best. You are a bad ass! Awesome job!

[@Aaryn015]

Dude, I'm just a noob so of course what I just saw looks amazing. Just wanted to say that I've subscribed to your channel and am going to come here whenever I get frustrated at lack of progress. Hey. Someone thousands of miles away is using you as inspiration. Thanks.

[@GmanForce422]

Thank you man, I appreciate your thoughts very much! Glad you enjoyed it. :)

Excellent !!!!!!!!

[@GmanForce422]

Haha listen to the original first then listen to this one. I kinda threw my own stuff in there so it's a little bit different. It probably would've taken more work to fake it then to just play the thing, lol! :P Thanks for the comment!

[@GmanForce422]

@M3likydrum5 Thanks man, appreciate it a bunch! Glad you enjoyed it. :D

[@LyokoWarriorEmber]

Duuuuuuuuude, I'm in percussion but i lack the coordination for a drumset...this. is. AWESOME.

[@vicx05]

holy shit that was AWESOME! I've been watching drum covers on youtube for years and I've never seen you, there's SO much crap on youtube, I found this after stumbling over 3 completely shit POD covers, I was not expecting such awesomeness. The SKILLS, sound and video quality is ELITE. I rarely subscribe to anyone, but I am to you because this is quality! I also do covers on a TD-12 at the same angle too lol, but this puts all my videos to shame, the skills, sound and video quality. MAKE MORE!!!

[@GmanForce422]

@Luco990 Thanks man! Greetings from Massachusetts! :) You know what? I think it's cool that you're in Nicaragua, and you're watching this video that I made some 4000 miles away. man....that's like mind bogglingly super cool to me! :D Thanks for watching!
