That may b the most "relaxed " jump cover I've ever seen....well dun!!

[@JamesRobertMusic]

Thank you!

[@joshlennon253]

One of the best and most accurate drum cover on KZbin! Respected the drum track and did not improvise or do tricks like a lot of idiots who covered the same song. Awesome!

[@JamesRobertMusic]

I really appreciate that! Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment!

[@kevinconnor6035]

I don't understand this thinking. Major props to this drummer for nailing the song, but what's wrong with people embellishing on drum covers? "Respect the drum track"? Huh? Music is meant to be played. If you're gonna overplay and show off, a play-along cover is the time to do that. Don't mess up a performance with an actual band, sure, but II can't think of anything with lower stakes than playing along to a song in your basement. You wanna throw in those paradiddles you've been working so hard on, the basement is the place to do it. Let people have some fun. Yeesh.

[@MisterPoppy-sc1sj]

solo part is not easy, you respected it, thank you !

[@JamesRobertMusic]

Yes it was tough! I think I listened to it 100 times to get it right! Lol

[@catvin8176]

la migliore cover di Jump sul web strepitoso ed immenso per tutte le variazioni eseguite🤟🤟👌👏👏👏💪💪🔝💫🥁❤️

Simply..the...best...cover. Accurate, on time. Amazing.

[@JamesRobertMusic]

Wow thank you!

magnifica interpretazione complimenti 🥁❤️💪🤟🤟🙋

[@drumfanatik316]

Awesome job! I can never get the timing right in the beginning of the guitar/keyboard solo! Totally nailed it!

[@JamesRobertMusic]

It's really hard! I had to listen to it about 200 times to get it lol. Thank you!

[@rromo201]

Perfect execution and feel! That has got to be the best drum cover of jump I’ve ever seen.

[@JamesRobertMusic]

I really appreciate that. Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment.

[@vincentperom2845]

Damnnn man that was so precisely clean.

[@JamesRobertMusic]

Appreciate it!

[@jkincaid6303]

You played it better than Alex. Economical use or energy and time. Great job.

[@JamesRobertMusic]

Wow! Thanks!

[@johnw5584]

Shut your mouth...Alex was " the God of Thunder". Alex was also a Showman.. more entertaining. As the Beatles " much show", proved. I like this guy because you can see him play the entire song.

[@stevenf4511]

Nice work James! Natural talent exemplified!!

[@JamesRobertMusic]

Thank you!!!

[@perosa99]

Loved it! AVH throws a lot of tricks in his playing. The more I listen the more I discover. Just the nuances on the hi-hat can give a lot to talk and think about. Nicely done!

[@JamesRobertMusic]

You’re right he does! Excellent drummer! Thank you!

[@oumamail]

日本からも 応援してますgood drum!

[@charlesabboud1613]

Maaaaan you've totally nailed that super tricky ride in the chorus...I've never really got exactly how he did that until I saw what you were doing. I love how you just got fully into the swing of it as you went on, and that last bit with the snare/bass drum fills was gorgeous. Thanks for sharing.

[@JamesRobertMusic]

Really appreciate it! I listened to it a billion times until got it! Lol

[@s.porter8646]

Smooth brother, awsome playin

[@JamesRobertMusic]

Thank you!

[@JD-bd5rd]

Freaking love it! I’m an intermediate drummer and can play most standard rock songs, but it’s the off beat crap that gets me, like at the beginning of 1:47. You made it look so easy and that really helped. I love how your toms aren’t too much higher above the snare too. I’ll have to go thru your videos to find out more about your equipment. Just subscribed a few days ago too. Great stuff!

[@JamesRobertMusic]

Thanks for the sub! Yes the odd beats are tough, especially when the solo starts!

[@timothyboles2521]

Crisp, bright, full of energy. That was a great cover...

@@JamesRobertMusic It was tough but you made look easy hehe, yes its fun, I almost gave up but my drums will be collecting dusts inside the garage. I am almost there, really thanks with your videos.

[@JamesRobertMusic]

@@JohnDavid-ko5qc awesome! Been there before myself. I once went months without playing anything. Then came back and haven't stopped playing since! Keep drumming!

[@JohnDavid-ko5qc]

@@JamesRobertMusic Not only this song is tough but it's very intimidating. Growing up in the Philipines as a teenager (1985) I remembered my uncle trying to learn this on drums using bed pan metal lid as cymbals/ride , plastic bucket, chicken poultry waterer with a cassette tape rewinding over and over until the tape got eaten by the cassette player..Thank you for the encouragement. Have a great day. Keep drumming.

Thank you for the kind words! Glad it's helpful!

[@junkk5608]

Getting into this - you gottem, I think the best cover. [tho I think more and more double stick-beats on the drums and little less on symbols (even ONE more hard, before going to symbols) - for more accentuation at those poignant points (at break around 3 min.) would be more moving / impressive]. :)

[@JamesRobertMusic]

Thanks for watching and for your feedback! It was definitely a tough song. I did my best to remember all the nuances but I am no Alex Van Halen! Let's keep in touch!

[@oceanlbi]

Very good James Robert! I am still trying to get the syncopated part in the middle, it's tricky, you played it all very well!

Thank you Freddie! This was a tough song. Especially the part during the solo. I had to listen to it many, many times.
