Kickstart My Heart (Drum Cover) - Mötley Crüe - Kyle McGrail

I am 15 and got a drum set after watching this video. You seem to be having so much fun playing these tunes. Thank you for being such an inspiration and role model.

Hey I’m 16 and I’m gonna my first drum set soon wish me luck 🤘🏻 Edit: Got it today! Learned my first song come together by the Beatles, but I’m in a lot of pain 😂 I’ll have to get used of using the kick drum and hi hat pedal

Solid groove, lots of energy, no overplaying. 10/10!

[@prism692]

I can’t help but smile watching someone play the drums. Drums are my favorite

[@drnopatience9852]

It's incredibly satisfying to play a drumless track and be the drummer for some of your all time favourite songs Takes a while to learn to play but once you start getting it you will be hooked for life

[@brookswade5774]

The drummer is the most under appreciated member of any band. He or she, work their asses off, exert more energy and get seen less than the rest of the band, unless you do like Tommy Lee did. But watching your drum face, reminds me of Bonzo getting into it. The drum faces are similar. Awesome talent brother, great video.

[@johnlee7479]

Don’t no bout under appreciated, I think drummers are well recognised ( especially if there good ) drummers are the backbone force of the music , power house 🤟👊, example ..... mikkey dee from Motörhead ,

[@1990hondarc30]

I remember being 16 and riding in My Dad's 69 Dodge Charger at 125 mph listening to this song. I'm 47 now still driving that same Charger and still listening to this song. Awesome drumming

[@steverikeman2321]

Dude, I know that you posted this over a year ago but I’m KZbin surfing and just came upon it and watched it. I am a 51 year old fellow drummer playing since I’ve been 12. Man, you rock!! You have a great style. Your kit sounds great too. Your kits sound is obviously limited to how you recorded your kit, but even with that said & understood, I can tell from my experience that your kit sounds amazing live. I love your tuning. I like how you didn’t add anything fancy to the cover song to show off your skills more. Tommy’s a solid rock drummer and you pulled off the song flawlessly. I love how hard you hit the drums, man, but still have a grove behind you. Nothing worse than seeing a rock band playing live where the drummer isn’t putting any power behind the songs. A weak drummer can change the dynamics of the band just like a strong solid drummer can improve the band’s live presence. If your in a band, your buddies must love playing with you and your driving beats. Just wanted to give you a shout out about my thoughts of your playing. Look. I’m no “Neil Peart” but I’ve seen a ton of drummers in my time & I’ve played in bands my whole life so I hope this comment finds you well. Stay safe and healthy!! Keep on pounding those drums!

[@kaynature7077]

Man you really like this guy

[@RuskingArms666]

This is by far the best sounding snare I've ever heard!

[@paulferrarodrums]

Your hearing the original track underneath that’s why the snare sounds so good

[@CharDyles]

My son plays and 95% of the time he's playing along with your covers. Jonah is a huge fan of yours. You're awesome !

[@Cryptosifu]

1/8ths on the HH, 16ths and 1/4s on the snare, off settings 1/4s on the bass... This is why I love playing the drums.

[@tinabrown6316]

Had someone recently tell me that drum playing wasn't rocket science. Told him to park his tush on my throne and show me what he had. Got called a B*$(% and flipped off. 😄🤘

Hey man, awesome cover of this song. I've been playing for around a year and have just started trying to learn songs by ear. The intro to this song was throwing me off time with the snare hits, this video has really helped me get my head around the song. Thank you.

[@josephseymour752]

Kyle you are one of the most talented drummers that I have ever seen. Why are you not playing in a band? I bet that when you come up with your own music you will be a force to be reckoned with. Keep playing and come out with those supercool drum covers. I hope to see big things happen to you in the near future.

WELL DONE....I'm currently learning this song and of course the ending is the hardest part to keep time on...at least for me lol

[@KyleMcGrail]

Thank you!!! Are you talking the big rock ending right at the very end? It took me so long to be able to play that in time with the track. Especially with the pressure of knowing you have the take and not wanting to mess up right at the end 🤣 It really helps to slow it down and practice it at 80% speed or so. Try out AnyTune or an app like that that allows you to slow down songs. Internalizing the timing at different tempos can really make a big difference. Good luck!!!
