*Intense* ManiaCult - Aborted, DRUM COVER

[@DrumlionMusic]

Despite the difficulty of the song, I really wanted to challenge myself with this. What's even more incredible is how Ken Bedene plays like he is just relaxing at a movie theater or something! I couldn't imagine doing a whole setlist of songs like this lol.

[@Joose]

Killed it, dude! Hell of a task, taking on Ken Bedene's work. Saw them with Lorna Shore in October and he was absolutely flawless.

[@DrumlionMusic]

Im jealous you got to experience a show like that!

[@kernoleary1394]

missed their toronto show and was much sad

[@da8171]

Absolutely super! Ken Bedene is a hard follow. One of the best drummers alive

[@DrumlionMusic]

I appreciate this so much!

[@kchez5586]

Props for single footing the blast parts - keepin' it real! Killer job, man!

[@DrumlionMusic]

thanks so much!

[@stevetheaxe]

Wow! Well done mate. Massive Ken fan here. I actually followed them halfway around Australia as a present to myself for turning 50. Theyre THAT good.

[@loubser921]

Machiiiiiiiine! Bro gotta say it again, you're looking exceptionally relaxed while absolutely destroying. Fucking well done!!!!!

[@DrumlionMusic]

i appreciate this bro. this song forced me to focus on breathing and staying as relaxed as possible, because anything outside of that, i wouldnt have been able to get through the song lol. and even still, I was still dog tired after having to redo the song multiple times lol

[@aresmoriendi9449]

Feet like concrete 💪🤟

Killer cover friend, you officially have a new fan, peace

[@D.L.Seraile717]

Thats whats up! Straight assault on that kit

[@snefansson]

I'm so happy to see Aborted starting to show up here and there finally. I've been listening to them for like 15 years now and it's one of the few metal bands I still listen to. Saw them live during their "Goremageddon" tour, absolute mayhem of a show Really well done on the cover mate!

[@DrumlionMusic]

thanks so much! and that show must have been an absolute experience for sure!

[@philbeaumont9339]

That was phenomenal work, I cant even comprehend how you would even approach a track like this, those blast were nice and crispy. I don't know the song so cant give much beyond admiration for the performance and the effort that went into it, but that was great stuff.

[@DrumlionMusic]

Thanks so much man! this song took a lot of time, preparation and practice to even be able to get through it!

[@BuddhasSoul]

You are killing it man! Love the red color change. My girl friend walk in to me going crazy headbanging. Good thing she is in to metal. She just started headbanging to lol. love the shirt man. Metal horns to the sky. Rock on man. 🤘

Hell yeah dude! Nice work. Seen them a few times over the years. Always a killer show.

[@DrumlionMusic]

thats awesome! i hope to one day myself. and thanks so much!

[@dozicusmaximus]

@@DrumlionMusic saw them in 08 with Suffocation and Carcass, then again a decade later with Benighted, Cryptopsy, and Hideous Divinity. They didn’t miss a beat. Highly recommend seeing them when you get a chance.

@@DrumlionMusic Thank you for your service my man 💪🇺🇲🤘

[@parabolgravity]

Well played. Props.

[@DrumlionMusic]

I appreciate this a ton. Definitely one of the most difficult songs ive attempted

[@ET_Brew]

Had never heard this song but damn it's complex. I like the new graphics too. Your kicks are so fast and steady. Sweat on your forehead is a testament to your hard work on this. Well done and great to see you back in full force! 👏

[@DrumlionMusic]

the first time i heard it, i knew i eventually wanted to attempt it, but man i was like i gotta take this song one 4 bar phrase at a time because there's so much happening in it!

[@primaballerina84]

Don't worry, you'll play it just like Ken in about... 200 years 😂😂😂 Jokes aside! Very good cover! Nice work Sir!

[@blackadder8691]

Solid work man ✊ keep at the drills and it’ll become as easy as it looks when they play it. Own the shit out of what you’re playing!

[@DrumlionMusic]

thanks so much! i definitely plan on continuing to train and practice for improvement. and thank you for the recommendations you gave on some of my other videos as well

[@blackadder8691]

@@DrumlionMusic no sweat at all man :) yes you’re a giant. Yes you already play drums. But what you have that most people don’t is that drive and will to push yourself. That’s 99% of the work done imo. You want to be better so you’ll get better. It’ll be fun to watch the ride :) I’m waiting for the drumlion bleed cover ;)

[@Blaze77717]

Here before your channel blows up

[@DrumlionMusic]

thats very kind of you to say!

[@852aaron]

sick as fuck. I only recently discovered Aborted, such a dope band. Have fun blasting your way into the new year

[@DrumlionMusic]

Appreciate this! Im fairly new to Aborted also but man they are absolutely incredible!

Well he has appeared from the shadows... Anyway i hope the Holidays were good for u. Also i appreciate your hard work on this song choice going outside the box along with comfort zone... The song is straight forward punch in the face.. Dude killer job and thanks for your time devoted to learn this for us viewers to enjoy..💀🤘

[@DrumlionMusic]

im glad you liked it bro! this song took a ton of work and practice for sure, and I definitely had to play outside of my comfort zone on it.

[@ericdravenX00X]

[@JamesKnoerl]

holy shit. :D

Thanks brother! You're sick on the kit yourself!

[@BlackSheepDrums]

Fucking sick!!!!🤘🤘🥁🥁

[@DrumlionMusic]

thanks so much fellow drummer-in-arms!

[@NateJM91]

Your style of playing is awesome dude. Relaxed but getting into to the groove. What stick’s are those? They look kinda thin but you’re putting them to work!

[@DrumlionMusic]

I appreciate this a ton! So with my drumming all of my covers are done in one take, (its just easier that way since I have to record and do everything by myself). By the time I finally got this take done I was WIPED! So I had no choice but to play as relaxed as I could lol. And the sticks Im using are a little thinner than what I normally use (Danny Carey signatures, Vic Firth). The sticks in the video are made by Collision, a UK based company that makes them. They actually sent some to me to try out.

[@JamesFenczik]

Damn dude. Smanged that shit.

[@DrumlionMusic]

im so grateful for your words!

[@quadblaster69420]

Dude, sick cover! Side note, how big are you? You make that kit look freaking tiny.

[@DrumlionMusic]

Haha thanks so much! And im only 5"10 and 195 pounds

[@quadblaster69420]

@@DrumlionMusic well, you're a monster bro! Keep killing it, you're an entertaining dude and a killer drummer with what seems to be a high potential ceiling!

[@pentatonicminor]

I commented on your Mgla react just now, then started deep diving your channel. You're doing a lot of the same things that Darkside does. You've got a really solid economy of motion yourself... Even those tom hits going into the bridge early on. You kept all super clean and saved that energy for as the song progressed. If you want another one to check out, my dear friend Paul drums for IATT out of Philadelphia/Jersey, and did a playthrough of one of their newer songs: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b53ZiHiof9hkiKM It's another great study in using rebound to your advantage and not wasting shoulder/back/thigh movement, and there's a really, REALLY fun syncopated part in it.

[@DrumlionMusic]

i appreciate this! i love getting comments like these because as a viewer you're able to show me a retrospective look about something i may or may not be aware of with my playing. so i thank you for this. and i will definitely be checking out this recommendation of yours. you definitely got me interested for sure

[@pentatonicminor]

@@DrumlionMusic hey, it's all love, brother... i see things i think you'l dig, and i share them. you do swivel your feet a little though, and you should save that for when you're REALLY pushing. Put those ankle weights to work! lol But I''m just a bassist, feel free to ignore me! 🤣 I can barely play When the Levee Breaks.

[@DrumlionMusic]

@@pentatonicminor so interesting enough, the swivel that is there for me isn't something i do consciously. i think my feet are just trying to get the motion through as i try to stay relaxed.

[@pentatonicminor]

@@DrumlionMusic yeah, if its just naturally swinging your feet a little, i wouldn't sweat it. I know guys who use it as a bit of a coping mechanism to go faster when its not fast enough to go heel/toe with the extra bounce. I'm me. I'm guys.

[@pentatonicminor]

(I'm a lefty, and I play heels up and set my kit like an open hand righty, so I'm disadvantaged from the gate. But I'm only a bassist... so...🤣)

[@LilBobbyBrickHands]

Man just watching your legs hitting the pedals is like your having a panic attack, cant have a cig and been high on coke for 3 days LOL. Fucking brutal man. You could make a video on yourself. For real real you could easily be pro. No jokes.

[@DrumlionMusic]

lmao! ok i had to laugh at that description! and i really appreciate your words! also thank you so much for taking the time to watch the performance as well!

[@phos4usredeemer]

Go watch the extirpation agenda video with Ken on a 4 piece and wait for the fill😂

[@DrumlionMusic]

this sounds like a plan!

[@MrE1981]

Jeez, why don't you mash your kit even closer together? I can see a spare millimetre of space.

[@grxygxds]

wow unbelievable as always! hope 2023 is your best year yet! great playing.
