12 years later and I still enjoy this video as much as the first time I watched it.

[@littlewing62]

best drum cover in youtube. don't know why it's not over a billion views now

[@fodedrums]

@darkcrystal911 I've been playing since I was 7, and I started listening and playing to all styles of music ever since. Just copying off my favorite drummers and bands.

[@270thammy]

Bro the way you play is so much more respectable than a lot of the other drummers on youtube! Solid in the pocket and tasteful.. If i was one of the artist you cover I would have you play live with me over anyone

[@arnabhdax8733]

here it's 1:52 am... listening the best cover of this teenage dream... how beautifully done... just superb..👌... & now my dream is to play just like this.... Love from India...💕

[@0915lany]

i love this cover! best drum cover of teenage dream!

[@mikzu92]

Man you did great job! Great accuracy, great fills, great style, great video! Really liked! Thumbs up!

"You-make-me...feel like I really suck, Been-playing-this...for really long enough, I-can't-sleep...I thought I rocked the drums, Never play it back, I'll never play it back. My-heart-stops...when I watch this vid, Just-one-click...and maybe I will quit, This-is-real...so I'll take it back, maybe pay a class, pay a freaking drumming class."

[@lady2725]

OMG, this cover is Amazing man!!!! You played the drum just like the music asks for!!! Creative, but not too much. The Audio is really great too!!! LOVE IT! And, great drum kit, by the way... =]

[@fodedrums]

@cflynndrummer That's so nice of you to say. The marching snare head definitely gives you more rebound, but it's nowhere near as tight as you think it would be. I love it though, but it takes some getting used to from regular heads.

[@fireflies-xr3xc]

you should have many more views considerin the quality of your drumming!

[@fodedrums]

@bluebless6 My main snare is still where it should be, but I have my auxilary snare of to the side for different, less intense, or a different feeling part of a song. My main snare is higher pitched and cracking, while the aux snare sounds like a sampled, deeper snare. The Ozone has holes to make it more trashy and explosive. Which Zildjian cymbal? There's a 20" K Custom ride and a 14" Zildjian ZXT on the top of the stack.

[@fodedrums]

@Stridelight I'm sorry I'm just not as good as Ricky. I also don't have fun, and I'm sorry for that. Oh, and I'm sorry about the tie...And for the fact you've watched at least two of my videos. I'm just thankful it's 2011 and technology can make it appear that I actually have talent. Thanks for calling me out. You da best!

[@fodedrums]

@keyhead101 sixtuplets RLLRLL First right and everyother right hand hits crash with kick on 1, 2, and 3 +, and the second and everyother right hits a snare accent. Beat 4 is just a run down the toms with the same sixtuplets.

[@fodedrums]

@kenny2710 thank you, thank you. I couldn't break that snare head if I tried (remo black max). the china is actually a stack. check out my new video explaining my kit.

[@fodedrums]

@streberlocation im right handed, but i play open-handed, on most things. I'll play cross-handed on certain things on the hat. It's like being able to write with both hands.

[@fodedrums]

@mikethedrumaniac If you want to think of it like that, yea. But I would say I played 4 eighths, 4 sixteenths, and one sixtuplet or 6 sixteenth note triplets.

[@fodedrums]

@casilaxxor thanks! not the first time ive heard about the peter thing lol. It used to be Adam Lambert, so I guess this is a step in a different direction ha

[@fodedrums]

@real1acer and Thejamesbooth14 I just come up with different phrases I can voice differently around the kit. I appreciate yours and everyone elses kind words.

[@fodedrums]

@mtbmaster101 thanks! It's a Pearl Reference snare with a Remo black max head on it. I have a new video explaining my kit if you wanna check that out too!

[@fodedrums]

@callumpit6544 well I very much appreciat that. I just do whatever comes naturally to me and not overplay. After all, it's all about Katy in this case.

[@fodedrums]

@NouveauNick thats very kind of you! matt at second story studio would be able to answer that question best. but thanks so much for commenting!

[@fodedrums]

@RubbaKol Well thank you for not sleeping and watching my videos, and even more enjoying them. Glad to hear it and thanks for letting me know!

[@musiktothesoul]

hahahah cool cover very nice chops

[@fodedrums]

@thewaspguy thanks! i started with pillows on the couch, then a practice pad, then finally a drum kit. Maybe a Christmas present??

[@fodedrums]

@outermostgravy It's just a marching snare head. It's really not even tight, if it were, it would ruin the drum like you said.

[@fodedrums]

@outermostgravy I guess Remo must have put out a bad batch of Ebony heads that had "Black Max" printed on them....Darn the luck.

[@fodedrums]

@mcskiski1994 I really appreciate that. I try to play the song for the song, not to show off. Glad it didn't go unnoticed.

[@fodedrums]

@thepeacedrummer I make them up. Also, I just started online intructional videos, so email me if you're interested.

[@fodedrums]

@TheECWOriginals This is my all-time favorite comment. I don't know you, but I now love you. Hope that's okay haha.

[@fodedrums]

@drileyry Sabian HHX Plosion and Evolution and Legacy. I have a video explaining each one I just recently uploaded.

[@fodedrums]

@stalepigeon good word! ha I really appreciate the kind words. It's my friend's studio, Second Story Studio in STL.

[@fodedrums]

@NathanXPablo if I had a nickel for everytime I had to answer this question...haha It's a stack, not just a china...

[@fodedrums]

The china is actually a stack. There's an upside-down crash beneath the china, giving it a trashy closed hat sound.

[@fodedrums]

@jackjohns I totally read it. And I'm the same way as you. Thanks so much for the kind words. Glad you dig it!

[@fodedrums]

@Mfothy Well thank you so much for taking the time to comment. That really means a lot. Thank you, thank you!

[@fodedrums]

@crazydrumma the aux snare is a 6x12 dw collectors series snare with a coated emperor and muffling on it.

[@fodedrums]

@ollieelkus Could not agree with you more. Thanks for understanding and digging it! Much appreciated.

[@fodedrums]

@TheJokerGuys That's probably the best compliment someone can give someone else!! Thank you, thank you!!

[@fodedrums]

@TEHaznsensaytion I'll take it! i can't say I've heard that before about Jim haha but thank you!

[@fodedrums]

@rhythmkeeper009 That's why I like the HHXs, because they don't have that hideous logo on top :)

[@fodedrums]

@TheCrashbangg the china is a Zildjian ZBT haha, but there's a Sabian HHXplosion crash under it.

[@fodedrums]

@iplaythedrumsgood if i had a dollar for everytime i heard that...i think i may have 6 dollars.

[@fodedrums]

@firefuzza I didn't want to take away from an already great song, but I'm glad you like anyway!

[@fodedrums]

@S0uLCHiLD714 I'm not sure on the mics, my good friend, Matt Amelung does all of the sound.

[@fodedrums]

@JAMESHARTDRUMS I've just started online instructional videos. Email if you're interested.

[@fodedrums]

@EMTdrummer You know, if it's fun to watch, I feel like I did something right. Thank you!

[@fodedrums]

@dragomirVIDS Glad you appreciate that. That's what I'm going for. Thank you, thank you.

[@fodedrums]

@GoneRocking that cymbal is a stack of a 14" crash and a 14" china sandwiched together.

[@fodedrums]

@BLdrummer740 more ducktape lol. muffle it up and tune it low, and loosen the snares

[@fodedrums]

@kingvincedrums Everything is very close and easy to play, that's why I like it.

[@fodedrums]

@rhythmkeeper009 I actually didn't buff any logos. The cymbals are as they come.

[@fodedrums]

@robertgenito thank you!! I put a 14" sabian hhx plosion crash under it. love it!

[@fodedrums]

@lordoscarrr yes, big fan :) the china is a stack with a 14" crash underneath it.

[@fodedrums]

@diegochangos I just started instructional videos. Email if you're interested.

[@fodedrums]
