Finally a new mini drum kit =)

[@Frogfartsexplode]

The small drums are a HUGE thumbs up. Being able to play them with mastery is even bigger.

I just love how you take music so seriously, you honor the original and capture it's spirit. But you don't take it too seriously and just "bring out the small drums". Love it!

Do an equally great cover of Queen's "The Show Must Go On" please. Freddie was so weak and ill when asked to sing it but he just stood up, downed a shot and said "I'll f****** do it" Metal

[@SamXbit]

Kishore Shenoy if that's not metal I don't know what is!

[@EvilOcirneX]

A cover from Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody" would be great too

[@Eliges]

A cover should improve the song. Don't cover Queen.

[@tomlawrence7517]

Spongebob .Squarepants well said but at the same time it's good to offer honourary covers to the legends like queen

[@PAVEL9921]

Covers are not meant to improve... Those are remasters. Covers are to offer tributes or to change the style.

[@matthewiles5714]

Instead of "We're living together" he sings "We're leaping together" because of Frog Leap Studios. Brilliant cover as always. Love it!

[@SuperMario0972]

fun fact: in the original it's not "living" but "leaving" ! They're leaving Earth together and maybe they come back... ;-)

[@hichigoshirosaki3665]

Im pretty sure the original by Europe says "We're leaving together?

[@hichigoshirosaki3665]

You can headbang to Europe doing it live, tbf. It's a lot heavier live.

[@PGhostCZ]

Hey, just wanted to say, hang in there. I don't know how depressed you or anybody in your family actually is, but just know that there's always a lot of people with you. I myself have gone through a family death not too long ago and I know that it can be devastating. Just remember that you are not alone and if you need to, there's a lot of people you can talk to. And if you can't find anyone, I guess you can talk to me too, if you need. Just hang in there and don't do anything stupid. I wish you and your family a successful recovery.

[@ΔημητρηςΛουκας-λ8γ]

Looking forward to buying your music and sharing it in the US. Thank you for the time and effort you are one of a kind.

"BRING OUT THE SMALL DRUMS!" deserves a place alongside "PUSH IT TO ELEVEN."

[@Clintotron]

Leo, that instrumental break is definitely one of the most crushing things I’ve ever heard.

[@md_vandenberg]

The outro is the best Pop song I've heard all year.

[@FeriasVencidas]

So far, THE BEST 'Final Countdown' COVER EVER!! 'cause ya know, there's A LOT of metal covers of that sound (Norther, Children of Bodom and others)

[@bogdanchioran2936]

Super cover! I have one question, can I play this song in this style with my band? I just want to see if you agree with this. You are one of my "idols" and I really love your work. I would be very happy if I will become like you one day.

Holy, how can you both make the song more hardcore serious and more of a joke by breaking out the small drums at the same time? Absolute genius.

[@dannygreenland4853]

An awesome song already was curious what a metal cover would be like great work.

[@francinehays3861]

One of my most favorite childhood songs just realized its potential!!! I love this!! And it brings to mind another, Electric Avenue by Eddie Grant. Or maybe Cars everybody's working for the weekend or Loverboy Turn me lose. Anything by any of those two would be epic!!

When i listened to it i thought it was actually better than the original... looked him up and been a loyal fan since... Heathens, Gin and Juice, Hurt, Black hole sun, zombie, personal jesus, and this new one Paint it Black... dude your AWESOME !! Will you try Give Me Shelter, songs by Journey, and Pink Floyd? PLEASE !! I dont want to pick any Journey or Pink Floyd songs, I will the the genius in your creativity to you...
