Higher - Creed (Drum Cover)

[@HarleyBadger]

I've been drumming for nearly 40 years, and I gotta say, that was absolutely faultless. Nicely done.

[@JamesRobertMusic]

Wow Harley thanks!

[@sabrinadecastro3783]

Being a drummer myself, me too for 40 years, this is absolute perfection ! The Dude is so even, so musical. He inspires me to what I've been trying to do over those 40 years, delivering just what the song needs. Bravo !

[@ytubesub8514]

@@sabrinadecastro3783 Did you take any drum lessons?. I just downloaded some sheet music from the net to learn the absolute basics. I've gotten pretty good just from that.

[@brenttopa2172]

Agreed. That floor tom pick up into the first chorus was especially solid.

[@jhkuno88]

It wasnt faultless at all, it seems you spent the last 40 years smoking pot rather than playing drums

[@YouWillNeverGetThis]

Could you look any more relaxed while playing this perfectly? Yeesh! Well done!

[@Arvinbariquit]

Best drum cover of higher I've ever seen, perfectly have all the details from original.

[@JamesRobertMusic]

Thank you Arvin! Lot of practice to get down all the details!

[@JamesRobertMusic]

@@libertyforall5117 Wow! Glad you liked! Thank you!

[@mrsayang]

Easy to hear that it is one of your favourite songs....you play it perfect. Just great fun to watch

[@JamesRobertMusic]

mrsayang thank you! definitely one of my favorites! glad you enjoyed!

[@mrsayang]

James Robert welcome. I wish you do more Creed Covers

[@JamesRobertMusic]

Definitely will!

[@bobo_da_hobo]

Awesome cover!! I’m one of the few who love Creed!!! Well done!!

[@JamesRobertMusic]

Thanks Brandon! I always thought they were a solid band. You an Alter Bridge fan?

[@bobo_da_hobo]

Kind of, I only know one or two or their songs

[@stiixbeatman]

Yes Sir, Nailed it again. Your relaxed and flowing style is awesome.

[@JamesRobertMusic]

Thanks again Mark!

[@KevinZ2269]

I love it when someone plays Note for Note attitude!! Awesome ! Perfect 👍

[@JamesRobertMusic]

Thank you!

[@johnnyhicks8034]

Exactly, I watch drums covers to learn songs quickly & as close as possible to the album in a short time. Not watch someone make up parts or have a chop fest.

[@roycejustinabril8531]

I'm speechless, that was almost 100% similar to the creed's drummer rendition. 👏👏👏

[@JamesRobertMusic]

Glad you liked it!

[@djmatthew123]

damnnn you made that look so effortless...good technique...good composure....solid playing...you are really good...

[@JamesRobertMusic]

Matthew Harry thank you! Means a lot!!!

[@troytaormina]

Beautiful cover. Amazing how the song sounds simple, but the drum part just dances around everything. And I always liked the off-beat cymbal play Scott Phillips used.

[@JamesRobertMusic]

Thank you Troy! It was tough to remember all the nuances of his drumming technique. He's a great drummer. Seen him live twice with Alter Bridge.

[@Rhickey76]

I never noticed it until I watched this. I was looking for this comment.

[@vuidre]

Flip would be proud! Awesome!

That was a great rendition, bro.. Hands down the best part is your use of all those wispy cymbals.. The more cymbals the better!! (I need more cymbals)

You’re welcome I’m trying to progress myself what do you practice to get like this

[@JamesRobertMusic]

@@magicalchickenstrip8688 I practice it over and over with the backing track. When I can remember the entire song by playing through my head, I know I'm ready.

[@stephenhowarth4916]

James, of all the covers of this song, you get 1st prize - any idea where to get a drum score that I can use with my 'simple' standard kit (two crash only, 3 tom). I must admit this is my end of day video viewing - respect!

[@JamesRobertMusic]

Stephen Howarth thank you so much! Unfortunately I don't have any sheet music for the song. It was a tough one to remember from all the subtle changes he does throughout. I had to listen to it a million times it seemed! If it helps, you could try slowing down the video to pick up on some of the fills. Appreciate your feedback!

[@stephenhowarth4916]

Cheers James, even more impressive if you pieced it together just by listening :)

[@markashall5569]

awesome drumming.....how hard was this?

[@JamesRobertMusic]

Moderately challenging. There are quite a few variations in the song. Hardest part for me was remembering all the details. Thanks for watching!

That's a good song. I dont know that one at the moment. Good suggestion!

[@ryanhatton]

Why do you need a drum set that big?

[@JamesRobertMusic]

Haha! You don’t. I’m sure I got carried away with gear at some point. I’ve downsized since and only use 2 crashes, ride, china, hats, one tom and 2 floor toms. Thanks for watching.
