KRIMH - Gojira - The Art of Dying

Its not a secret that GOJIRA is one of my favorite bands. Mario Duplantier 's drumming inspires many drummers out there, including myself.
Their monumental song "The Art Of Dying" has always been a challenge for drummers as its rhythm pattern is really not easy. I never though I'll understand it but after seeing it on paper I figured its time to try it myself.
This cover is actually not only a drum cover rather than a FULL band cover.
I re-recorded every instrument you hear: Drums, Guitars, Bass and Percussion aka. bamboo sticks / trash can
It took quiet some effort to make this cover but this song and this band needs full commitment.
I hope you enjoy it

Been following you for nearly 8 years from my two KZbin accounts and commenting for the first time because I'm just too damn excited.
