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

[@weichun4168]

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.

[@salt7379]

Rock on! 🤟🏽

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 ,

[@rokker333]

How do they call the guys who always hang out with musicians? 😂

Not fully agree. See the Muse Band. Drummer and Bassist are everything. Guitar is not really important there

[@lordzortak]

my only regret in life is I never became a drummer, but watching you makes it look easy, in one word. Mastery.

[@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!

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

[@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

[@devinkittrell9921]

How the hell does he have so few subscribers??? He deserves way more than what he has. Awesome job bro, keep it up🤟

Its simple, he's using Zildjian cymbals instead of PAISTE 2002s and that my friend IS THE DIFFERENCE!! I would have subscribed but....well you know....

Somehow I had to let it out. Look at the energy this guy has, it’s wild! If my urge to do cool shit is even relatable to this, no wonder stuff driven by it is always so damn cool...

[@dylanbodenheimer3722]

You have the right to play drums. I’ve seen many girl drummer and they are badass. I’ve played for 9 years and I’ve been so inspired by many drummers out there! You could be one and can be a phenomenal drummer. You do what you want and follow your dreams! I think you would be one hell of a drummer

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!!!
