What's the bet no one ever puts up a better Rifle cover. This is a truly commendable effort. Doing Plourde proud....

[@NorrinRadd77]

R.I.P. Derrick. Best modern punk drummer I ever saw.

[@c7adventures376]

He was definitely one of the best. Coolest part about him was how chill he was. Such a nice guy, that we all miss a lot.

[@francisbarbotin]

They played Riffle with Jesse back and Big Chris too in Victoriaville, Qc this weekend. Still fresh, definitely the hardest track on Hoss

[@nobodies117]

The intro to the song blows my face off every time. Great job

[@eltrucc9091]

YEA

[@nobodies117]

Still does

[@eltrucc9091]

I still come back every now and then to see again

[@theterrible1]

One of the best punk related drum parts ever, superbly covered by Kye. Great work buddy. RIP Derrick.

[@paul_bellini]

Hell yeah, man. Incredible.

[@allencoleman6222]

Holy shit..... This is one of my favorite Lagwagon songs. This was amazing.

[@Jerry-ir8nd]

Nice job man! I enjoyed watching this very much!

[@ToddTesla]

Man, Im 37, I saw the "Trashed" tour in 9(4)? I am a lefty guitarist and bassist, I don't usually watch these drum vids, man, you are too sick.... there aren't many drummers willing to stick their necks out on you tube.... bravo... anyone that thinks ill of you is a hater, and I already can tell that you brush them off... studio drum recordings for fast-punk bands like LW and RKL , obviously for the album recording there are TONS of takes, some melded into each other.... you are badass; nuffsaid

[@ionro90]

btw, i like your background with all those cool wallpapers

[@hgcutting]

I feel like any legitimate friend of Derrick would want his music to continue and be enjoyed by everyone and in all forms. He'd be proud of Kye.

[@jessemakua1013]

that is absolutely insane. I can currently play Coffee and Ciggarettes and other Lagwagon songs perfectly, but im still working up to this one. I cant even get past the intro.

[@YoyoSquirrel]

You, sir, are fucking amazing.

[@Farizanmuhamad]

awesome!!

[@ionro90]

another great job dude!!

[@sideshowseb]

Nicely done !

[@cartomante7835]

Man, you are great

[@MOTAHEADsuck]

awesome

[@newbad77]

Brutal!!!..

[@KungPowza]

Holy shit that's awesome!

[@cockeyedpunkrock]

I'm learning a shit ton by watching your vids! I wasn't trying to make this an interview but lastly I just learn by listening... I'm not a wealthy fella but I do okay. How much did Everything cost? from that (Ludwig?) kit to the mic's and camera? Keep on playing kick ass drums man and we back you in Orlando!

[@nervousbreakdown1108]

so tight

[@ElDarren]

Oh yes! Way to kill it dude. I think I'll try this one for sure.

[@emartinezr]

Daaayum son; that was good. Well play

[@JohnDoe-xt3mj]

Awesome... fuckin sick.. good job..

[@cockeyedpunkrock]

Fuck yeah dude! Nailed it.

[@mitchellhedden1978]

Here we are, nine years later and this guys plays on the new Bad Astronaut single.

[@666evollove]

damn dude....you smoked it. great cover of a great song.

[@Beautiful-Sickening-Rolex]

more lagwagon covers bro!

[@MusicInApril]

Awesome!

[@Elasticow]

Well done!! Great job and greetings from Brasil!

[@norbertdirksz4846]

Nice drum sound. Snare sounds killer

[@cockeyedpunkrock]

Hey Kye! First of all that guy who is hating on you is named Gil. Here in Orlando Florida that makes him a total prick to begin with. Anyway, sick drumming man. I saw that Fat wreck even put your comp of every LP they have released on their news feed! Congrats on that dude. Is there any other footage of your band? I found that high quality live show pretty good man... Next to Frenzal Rhomb (if that's the right spelling) Are you guys the NOFX of the land down under? Put more vids up!

[@fco_rmz]

AMAZING DUDE!

[@KHomfg]

Great cover of one of my fav songs! Also, awesome kit...I have the same one ;)

[@kadetito74]

Great!!!

[@MPAROR]

cool posters and awsome drumming skills dude. keep it up ;)

[@ScarsUnseen24]

Hey drummer guy! Can you tell me what kind of snare drum you're using? It has a really nice pop to it!

[@Bartbarat]

fuck yeah!

[@MrYunqueman]

FFS, Derrick would be fucking proud of you! Cheers!

[@syncopoly]

Nice work!

[@intisariterrorclub]

what snare do you use in this video?

[@jonesy1066]

sooooooooooo good. RIP Derrick Plourde

[@ToddTesla]

Easily the biggest circle pit I have ever been in... probably all 80 people were in it.. the whole room turned into a pit right when they busted out Island of Shame as the obvious first song of the set... but yes.. 80 people, and the place was packed... those were the good times indeed... And RKL is easily the most underrated band from that era... (and area!)

[@janofxun]

buenisimo! tienes el medio futuro como artista musical :D sigue a si ! wn!

[@beige4]

rockin

[@Beautiful-Sickening-Rolex]

this cover seems pretty right on.... best one on youtube anyway

[@ndSpaz]

A cover of Cofee And Cigarettes from you would be awesome!

[@dieterdebacker1339]

damn! fuckin' great man! I'm going to try to get this in my hands tomorrow :)

[@HOMERPUNX]

pretty good man!

[@pinguimfx]

essa musica eh foda!!

[@NickVullo]

Are those doubles or just fast singles in the beginning?

[@NickVullo]

Oh never mind I figured it out. Like triplets and fast singles. I think? At least it sounds similar when I do it. You are pretty amazing! Keep on keepin on. Great song choices!

[@fazwagon786]

[@SimonB.]

sick drum intro

[@911rulez]

Looks like Derrick ! good job !

[@ShawnxEdge]

What's the sticking for that intro please?

[@xXR0883Xx]

You should try Bury The Hatchet, that would be so epic !

[@DougChampagne]

Where's the video tough guy

[@adrianvalenzuela6139]

Its like dong cardio 🤣🤘🤘🤘

[@mega1metalhead]

dude his cover was great ! ur just fucking jelous that hes an awsome drummer

[@MrVortzak]

shit how do they do that???

[@nouefexs2]

if you like the more "technicall hardcore" drumming you can cover this: -Lagwagon: Unfurnished, Failure, Demented Rumors, Of mind and matter Beerbong (you need a double pedal for this): Nothing, Forget you, Sometimes, Eight days a week and a lot more...

[@Luvwookie]

Plays the cover better than the current band

Mickeys got a rifle13#

[@gilklein6135]

the intro is good but you lack so much like fills,hi hat demensions and a few pointers listen to the song and see where your mistakes are because mistakes make drummers better. I was a good friend of derrick's and he grew up listening to lots of thrash and glam for instance listen to a song by dokken called see you anymore has same into to island of shame :)/ Just do me a favor before attemoting to ruin a good souls song learn them :)

[@9008071]

Holy shit, you're a son of a bitch (in a good way) !

[@steadyheady8588]

i saw a 11 year old kid kill this cover

[@davidgaray2604]

Nice try man!!!

[@hassinabd2294]

David Garay what the fuck you mean with that? This was perfect...

[@chad9438]

Every few months I come back and watch this again

[@arthuroliveira4326]

amazing!!!!!!

[@desmondciauri887]

This song is hard to play without shortcuts or taking the attack out of it. This is the best i have seen. Kudos.

[@menswear2112]

Damn, covering Derrick Plourde, the Neil Peart of punk. It’s a feat in itself. You can be proud.

[@1thess523]

I remember seeing Lag Wagon fir the Trashed and Hoss tour and on the Hoss tour they opened with this song and it just set the whole night up for a crazy good concert. My brother based pretty much all his drumming style on Derrick because he was so good. We both play drums and he and i both used/use a Tama Iron Cobra with a Slug beater because if Derrick. We got a chance to hang out with him on the Hoss tour and he showed us his technique on how he played so fast and what kind of gear he used.

[@ramayomama]

You are a lucky lucky dude, that moment in time pure gold and irreplaceable. Derrick was an unbelievable drummer... Resolve (the album) is a brilliant shrine to his memory.

[@1thess523]

I got a chance to see a lot of these old Fat and Epitaph bands at their prime.Down By Law, Ten Foot Pole with Scott,Good Riddance, Tilt,Snuff,Rancid,NOFX,Face To Face,No Use For A Name (Daily Grind& Leche Con Carne Tours, also Rory was super cool)Swingin Utters,22 Jacks,Propagandhi(also opened up for them),The Bollweevils(opened up for them also) and a bunch more that I can't remember and then there are a bunch of pop punk bands that my band either opened up for or I just saw live. Those were the day's and the day's of inexpensive everything !

[@frankdinero606]

What else do you remember from the kind of gear he used?

[@1thess523]

Frank Dinero he used an okd Ludwig i believe a 24 in kick and then power toms like a 13x13. I remember him having Zildjian K hi hats if I'm not mistaken and other K cymbals. He told us he was a jazz guy and listened to a lot of jazz music and for us it was weird because we kept asking "hey do you listen to these bands he was like" no i listen to a lot of jazz". Back then my brain couldn't comprehend it but with in the last 10 yrs I've seen a lot of jazz drumming videos and it all makes sense now because those old men are just as technical if not more than Derrick was. Oh yeah he wore blue Authentic Vans!

[@frankdinero606]

Wow. thank you for the prompt response. I too am a big fan of DP. What did he say about how he plays so fast?

[@jamielocks9266]

holy fucking shit... I don't think I took a breath the entire song. WELL DONE

[@xthomasvx]

Still one of the best drum covers on KZbin

[@PointOfLife333]

I saw and toured with Lagwagon in the early to mid 90’s I knew Derrick Plourde saw him play many times. I was a roadie for PW and did the first 7 years of Warped Tour good job don’t stop playing!!! 👊

[@jasonloveswatchingmovies7002]

best punk rock drummer cover on youtube.

[@joselicheff]

Give It Back and Beer Goggles!

[@jonasryberg4908]

I love Derick Plourde´s drumming. Your work is easily the best i have heard that captures the punktones (feeling in his drumming. Keep it up! You sound great .

[@cockeyedpunkrock]

Exactly man! RKL is one of my favorite bands ever! He is nailing these songs just as good as Derrick would have... That Trashed tour was insane! Everything was easily 4 times as fast as the record. Hahaha. Good times...

[@getsickiebrah]

DUDE YOU PLAY DRUMS FOR LOCAL RESIDENT FAILURE?!?!?!? A breath of stale air has been in heavy rotation since I got it! yet another awesome band from Australia I won't get to see in the states :(

[@danielhance1467]

Derick was one of the most talented punk drummers out there. He truly brought an entirely different style to punk

[@Fabregas200788]

one of the most difficult drum lines I've ever heard huge effort, Kye, thanks for that old video back in the days

[@1thess523]

his room looks like it could have come right out of the 90's, I used to go to all the shows and grab those posters and put them up in my room. Try some Pulley from "Esteem Driven Engine" like "No Defense"

[@RandomlyDrumming]

With all due respect, I think you're splitting hairs here. Yes, Kye maybe missed a few inflections on the hi-hat (maybe even on purpose), but overall the cover is great. The point of doing a cover is not to play note for note, but rather to stick with the "essence" while adding something new. Otherwise, why do a cover if you're going to play it EXACTLY the same and if there's nothing new to see/hear? In that case you might as well just listen to the original - studio version. :)

[@RandomlyDrumming]

Well, you do have a point there, but... :) The thing is, I just said he LOOKS that way, never said he actually is tense. He played "Rifle" almost perfectly and he is an excellent drummer, but he looks like he's nervous or something in almost all his videos. Again, I'm not saying he is, just that he looks that way. :) Cheers!

[@ToniLovesSkateboarding]

Amazing! Derrick is still my fav punk drummer and I love to see how his songs are played. I'd love to see a "Cog in the machine" Plourde version tho :) I just think he would have loved to play that song

[@Fabregas200788]

oooh yeah, Cog in the Machine is an awesome song

[@pnkdrmz]

i'm interested in seeing someone covering this song better than kye smith did, because i believe no person capable of doing this exists.

[@clasesdeinglesconcarlos6719]

So U are from that planet which supports human life which is far.... far....... away. AWESOME KYE

[@Beautiful-Sickening-Rolex]

cover a few more lagwagon songs (plourde ones) it's weid that you're not doing more of these videos..you get a tonne of views

[@getsickiebrah]

sickkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk cover. check out his band Local Resident Failure "A Breath of Stale Air" such a great album!!!!

[@naiyo87]

Fucking shit man, you really know how to rock that drums! I will definitely start to listen to your band.

[@getsickiebrah]

Breath of Stale Air freaking rules!!!!! Are you guys ever gonna try to play some shows in USA?

[@subgasm]

Jesus ham and cheese ....jaw dropped the whole time ... R.I.P. Derrick

[@АлександрБарбер-л6ж]

Cool sound snare drum. This is Mapex Black Panter hammered bronze?
