Jump - Van Halen - Drum Cover By Domenic Nardone

Come say hi on Facebook at www.facebook.co...
Another Van Halen Classic. Fun song to play but a few tricky parts during the lead break.

[@ledhed5717]

Since Eddie’s passing there have been a TON of all kinds of covers- guitar, drum, bass, keys, etc., on KZbin and I still find this one probably THE MOST ACCURATE of any cover of Jump I’ve seen. Domenic posted this TEN years ago and it still is the best, PERIOD.

[@DomenicNardone]

Thanks very much Eric!

[@felipejotz7054]

Yep. I have to agree. I’m just watching some covers to help myself to do my own cover and this one is hands down the best cover of jump on YT.

[@darengardner6219]

agreed

[@Rennpanzer]

I graduated H.S. in '84 and IMHO this is song is right up there with Every Breath You Take , as one of the best tunes from one of the best music decades ever. The individual who disliked this video must have clicked the wrong "button" by mistake and hated themselves for it. That was awesome.

[@clemclemson9259]

lol ok ...

[@smithnwesson990]

Getting that solo break is not easy and you made it sound flawless. Awsome job!

[@DomenicNardone]

Thanks very much!

[@blackielawless2791]

With your sensibility and passion, I'm lucky to look back at myself in 1984. Thank you.

[@DomenicNardone]

My pleasure!

[@andyman2462]

There are 3 ways to cover a song, make it your own, play it note for note but miss the feel, or capture the feel. The most important of these three is to capture the feel! And you nailed it, it's almost like you wrote the drum part to this!! Great great job!

[@DomenicNardone]

Thanks very much!!

[@brixtonave4455]

best "jump" cover i ever seen on youtube, you nailed it Sir...much respect..Greetings from Aizawl, Mizoram..

[@steveec9704]

Bass & drum part in Ed's guitar solo is very difficult it has too be spot on to mix well, this is the best jump drum cover brother Props man!

[@jimmyz2098]

Just seeing this now - 10 years later in early 2022. And it's AWESOME! You crushed this, Domenic. Congrats on being one heck of a killer drummer, Brother. I am a Van Halen FREAK, and still soul crushed that Edward is no longer with us. But I love watching this stuff to keep it all alive. And you did it justice - big time.

[@DomenicNardone]

Thanks for the kind words Jimmy!

[@s.goldberger4887]

Great sounding drums - great cover!

As a new drummer at age 56, I love your drum covers. You have great technique and tempo. Thanks for posting your videos and making me believe I can learn to play.

[@DomenicNardone]

Thanks very much Leon!

[@NickLynchDrums]

Great work on the mid solo. Always wanted to know how that went as it's quite low on the record.

[@DomenicNardone]

Thanks Nick!

[@namph72]

This song came on at my work the other night I love the drums on this. I wondered if there was a drum cover on YT found this absolutely brilliant 👌

[@DomenicNardone]

Thanks Brian!

[@reg074]

[@josecatalanosuna4832]

Tengo sesenta años,y acabo de jubilarme y así como otros escogen carrera universitaria y otro reto,yo me he propuesto tocar la batería ,mi primer paso a sido apuntarme a escuela de música y ahora llevo 6 meses y ufffff sufriendo con las partituras 😅,pero es mi reto y quiero conseguirlo aunque solo sea para disfrutar yo ,no aspiro a tocar en ninguna banda ( aunque cuando intento alguna canción,me siento volar, imaginando),y desde que te vi el cover de more than a feeling de Boston, te sigo 🥁🙌.Soy español y de ti me gusta el entusiasmo y se nota que lo disfrutas cada canción .Eres mi ídolo , lo más.Ojala llegará a tocar la mitad que tú lo haces.Gracias por ponerlo fácil.Saludos y gracias por escucharme

[@DomenicNardone]

Thank you for the comment Jose!! I appreciate the very kind words!

Hi Domenic! I'd like to thank you so much first. I loved " Jump" since I was 12 starting to play drums.Those days www didn't exsist, MTV just started. I want to thank you for the best performing to show this pattern of Alex that I struggeled for such a long time to play. And "Haha" to the guys who will now comenting some things like : Ah, easy shit.......

[@Augfordpdoggie]

awesome job bro namath. totally not gay, but if i ever met you in a minnesota bathroom, I would totally go full republican

[@DomenicNardone]

+Augford P. Doggie huh?? LOL

[@ryangabrielmahinay4300]

Wtf are u talking about?

[@Augfordpdoggie]

@@DomenicNardone back in the early 2000s there was a minnesota airport bathroom, where a lot of men, specifically republican congressman, would have gay sex on the down low. it was a joke obviously

[@DARRINCONNOR1]

Ok completely blown away.AWESOME.You nailed it.Flawless

[@DomenicNardone]

Thanks Tommy. Appreciate you watching my videos and the kind comment!

[@Drumput666]

Very tasteful! You've got an ear for detail and the chops to nail this!

[@DomenicNardone]

Thank you!

[@artetica66]

Hi Domenic, awesome drumming for an awesome song. My name is Alessandro and I live in Italy since 1984. You made me remember the good old High School days in Staten Island and the 80's music. I was 16 years old when this song came out and had always been a Van Halen fan. I'm 47 now and still love the great music from the 80's......"THE BEST EVER" !!!!!! Great drumming, great videos, great drumset........but most of all.....GREAT TALENT. A big CIAO from Rome.

[@DomenicNardone]

Thank you very much Alessandro. CIAO from Canada!!

[@angelonoziglia5854]

so far the best approach to Alex's playing ive seen... kudos!

[@DomenicNardone]

+Angelo Noziglia Thanks Angelo!

[@darrellsteiner7439]

I tell ya, any time I find myself having to learn a new cover, I come to your channel because you are the most accurate drummer I’ve ever seen cover each song that you do!

[@DomenicNardone]

Thanks very much! I try to be as accurate as possible. Sometimes in doesn't quite work that way as every drummer has their own interpretations.

[@giuseppelicenziato9696]

La migliore cover vista finora. Precisa,pulita,giuste dinamiche e gran suono della batteria. Cosa dire di più.....bravissimo.

[@DomenicNardone]

Thank You!

[@andromeda401968]

For me it´s the reference of all Jump-Drum-Covers. Great!! 👍

[@DomenicNardone]

Thanks very much!

[@zelon1983]

Hats off Domenic. Another amazing cover!

[@mikosoft]

Most Van Halenish cover I have heard. Sometimes less is more and that's what makes a true musician.

[@thomascavanaugh5458]

Very nice. I have to learn it like you for a sit in gig this week. Thanks alot!

[@Dan070]

Note perfect! Excellent cover and great angles to help me learn it too!

[@migueldellamico414]

My God! It's like I'm hearing the first recording of this song, the feel is fantastic! I'm out of words, incredible!

[@DomenicNardone]

Thanks very much!!

[@leoehgartner]

Fantastic! Awesome performance with all the dynamics, brilliant. And great pocket for the song!

[@DomenicNardone]

Thanks very much!!

[@vistalite1972]

The rototoms are amazing love those!!!!!!!!!

[@halmenme]

この曲はソロパート色々出てますが、今まで見た中で一番です！今年47のおばちゃんですが、ドラムやりたくなりました。最高！

[@DomenicNardone]

Thanks!! I'm getting right into this video editing stuff. I'm still using iMovie because it's pretty easy. Other more professional editing software programs intimidate me a bit....seems rather complicated, but I'll graduate to them at some point. I definitely will cover more U2 some day!!

[@BreakingFPSproductions]

Very good video, amazing and clean sounding drum set, amazing song to play to, but I think what's best about this is your technique and that you can see the groove flowing through you and how relaxed and how well you play with the groove.

[@DomenicNardone]

Thank You!

[@tylerdurden7500]

Jaw dropping! ingenious original work and superbly skilled in execution. 10 out of 10!

Thanks very much!!

He’s in that zone. You know the one. Sounded party, this was concert great. 💥💥💥

[@kontor15]

Nice job. Drums sound great!

[@marcosreyna2998]

You did a great Job! It's not about if a song is easy, it's about playing with attitude, groove and in the pocket which is what you did. That is what will get you paying gigs playing shows in front of an audience

[@DomenicNardone]

Thanks very much!

[@JulioBatista66]

Very inspiring. You totally rocked that!! What I love most about your videos is the way you film from over head because it allows me to see things you normally don't see. I wish I could have seen what it looked like from over Stewart Copeland's set whenever he played. It adds a great dynamic and learning tool to those who drum pro or just fooling around. Thank you for your presentations.

[@DomenicNardone]

Thanks Julio!

[@firstmusic00]

One of things I love about Alex is he's not afraid to use the ride-bell....one of my favorite drum sounds. Nice tight job as usually, Dom.

[@DomenicNardone]

I appreciate that! Thanks Adam

[@Gritsen]

Not an easy track to play by no means! Although the song would've worked even with a drum machine, I'm really glad they took the long way because Alex's jazzy playing keeps the song REALLY alive. Especially the solo sections.

[@johnnybegood8392]

Thank you from France Domenic. I'm learning drum since 3 years and your videos help me. ;) You're playing very well.

[@silverballer7342]

Great playing and a very good drum kit. Thumbs up! 👍

[@johnnyjohns3863]

Great job. That solo was weird for me to play til I learned it watching your video. I can play hot for teacher with my van halen tribute band (Xhalen) but then jump was given me trouble. Every van halen song or most of em have that one part that sounds easy then you play it and its a funky time signature. I thought I already knew most VH songs til I had to learn em lick for lick. Great job brother

[@denilsson31]

A great pleasure watching the guy who is usually relegated a the rear of scene but performs a great job at playing drums. I guess it's one of the most difficult instrument to play. Coordination of all your members is required, and your brain as the chief of orchestra. I guess it's like playing an instrument with each member at the same time. Imagine the performance. I prefer singing, it's easier for me.

[@MrSteviebaker]

It gives me real good pleasure to see your videos !!!

[@stujos82]

dude, I give you tremendous respect. If you are not a professional drummer, you are killing it! Your covers are spot on and technically perfect. I'm an amateur drummer but to get all the licks right all the time, the timing, very nice. Seriously awesome...
