Leprous - The Sky Is Red (drum cover by Zachary Lubicz)

[@BaardKolstad]

Fucking great job dude!!

[@zacharylubicz]

Thank you, Baard. I'm glad you came across my video! You're one of my greatest inspirations. Subscribe for more Leprous covers :P

[@benjaminm.9700]

Oh yeah, you definitely put in the work for this cover. I love the sigh right before the outro, I felt the same working on this one.

[@emilief.9918]

Dude ! That was absolutely sick ! Mastering a piece like The Sky Is Red isn't nothing ! You did so great ! I am a Leprous fan and an addict to Baard's drumming, this guys is insane ! He is like absolutely relax and tense on his drumming which adds a lot of power to his songs and emotions. I had this chance to see the band in Bordeaux in France a few months ago, it was insane ! That's definitely a hard song and that asks a lot of work, well done ! You even did those open hi hats which adds another atmosphere of the songs. I am glad you've got a comment from Baars himself, it's absolutely deserved ! Best wishes !

[@zacharylubicz]

Hi! Thank you for sharing your experience ! 🙏 Baard is probably the drummer who has influenced me the most in recent years. I can only agree with you :P Stay Tuned🔥

[@ajx911]

Woooow

[@DrumPeearl]

dude! That's super impressive.... I won't never dare to cover a 11 minutes song incase I failed. Big up!

[@zacharylubicz]

Thank you mate! Actually, I’d rather do it first and then think about whether I’m capable of it, because otherwise I wouldn’t do anything haha. Thank you for the comment, and don't think to much, we all are capable of way much than we think!

[@randomguestobserving6071]

Most impressive I find how cool you've played the Outro, easily underestimated to keep the timing, pace & tension for such a sluggish (in the best way possible) groove, while treating the Hi-Hat Pedal most gentle - brilliant job man - and so laid back !

[@zacharylubicz]

Thank you so much! I agree with you, this part of the song is clearly underestimated and now in hindsight I think I could have put even more energy in it (even if it's impossible to play it like Baard)! But thank you, I did my best and I'm glad you liked it!

[@ScreamingInSong]

Leprous quickly rose to be one of my favourite, and then eventually now my favourite band. The groove of Baard, the vocals of Einar, but also the beauty in their compositions. Tres bien fait Zachary, j'espere que Baard aura la chance du voir. :)

[@zacharylubicz]

I see our musical tastes are similar! Thank you for the comment, I still hope Baard sees it one day too!

[@drufay4872]

The vocalist is horrid, can’t stand her voice

[@zacharylubicz]

Although he has a particular voice, he masters it very well ;)

[@mortega76]

Damn! What a cover, one of my favorite Leprous tracks yet. The hand speed and the accuracy was awesome. Keep up the great work!

[@zacharylubicz]

One of my favorite too! Indeed, this is a very challenging song. Thank you for the comment! 🤘🏻

[@drumman190]

Fantastic drumming

[@bb3208]

Sick

[@kristjan79]

I'm fascinated by Baard's drumming abilities, I've watched and admired his playthroughs a lot. I just saw Leprous live near Detroit a couple weeks ago. What an amazing band. Great cover! Very ambitious. Respect.

[@zacharylubicz]

Hi! Yes, this guy is maybe my greatest drumming inspiration. His playing is so lively and powerful. I have a profound repect for Leprous' work

[@AllYourFache]

This is the best cover I've seen, well done! Very sharp playing, Baard would bop to this for sure.

[@zacharylubicz]

That's kind, thank you! This video is one year old now and Baard has not seen it yet, but I keep on hoping he will!

[@Musical_Sweetness]

Amazing cover dude!! Well done, that song is quite hard!

[@zacharylubicz]

Thanks dude! You're right, but this song made me progress a lot!

[@fabiandollarsign]

Phenomenal cover, great job!

[@zacharylubicz]

Thank you my friend! I'm glad that Baard Kolstad exists and gives me such challenges 😆

[@youfilin]

It is the challenge! Good job!!

[@zacharylubicz]

Indeed, the biggest challenge! Thank you :)

Ambitious cover to take on, much respect!

[@zacharylubicz]

Thank you! Indeed, it's quite a piece...

[@ignaciourrutia8917]

💣💥🔥

[@JouniK86]

If I was a drummer, I'd get the eff off my computer and back at the kit. This was crazy good job! :O

[@zacharylubicz]

Thank you very much, I'm so glad to read this! Yes, this song is just so addictive🤤

Sick cover mate What a song

[@zacharylubicz]

Thank you! Looks like you're a fan of Karnivool; did you see my latest drum cover?

[@R4a0ul99]

Juste insane le mec...

[@hedhuntervizo6749]

Great stuff

[@zacharylubicz]

Thx!

[@davidgonzalez227]

Que cover papá, bueno bueno 👌👌

[@zacharylubicz]

Gracias 🙌

[@depecid]

Really good job man. This is my favourite song and the one where the drums demanded my attention. As a guitarist, I've never really focused on drumming... but this song is something else (Actually all of Baards drumming is something else). Your performance really illustrates how good Baard plays. While I couldn't fault anything you did, he has a certain dynamic that adds so much complexity to the track. Not taking anything away from you though, it must have been difficult to learn by ear and you still nailed it.

[@zacharylubicz]

Yes, you're right! Baard puts a lot of power in each little note he plays and that's what makes him a beast to me. I hope you liked the video, thank you for your comment!

[@AnilZonderPunt.]

Great job, buddy!

[@zacharylubicz]

Thank you very much!

[@nerear1289]

That was awesome

[@zacharylubicz]

Thank you very much. I'm glad you like it!

[@bryanmax117]

Awesome! Great work!!!

[@zacharylubicz]

Thank you!

[@BimmyJaywalker]

Nailed 🔥 but you didn't miss the China 😂 Excellent job man 👏 🤘

[@zacharylubicz]

J'y ai pensé, mais bon, je suis sûr que quelqu'un l'a fait sur KZbin alors je propose la version avec China 😂 Merci pour ton message ! 🙏

[@BlackMark3tBaby]

MY DUUUUUDE!!! YOU DID IT!! AND IT IS B E A U T I F U L!!!!! Slain. Big love, drum brother 🧡🤍🧡🤍🧡

[@zacharylubicz]

Thank youuuuu! It took me the time but finally it is there!! 😋😋

[@BlackMark3tBaby]

@@zacharylubicz worth every second! Your hard work really shows!

[@v616sirius]

Wonderful, you got the hi hat accents down well!

[@zacharylubicz]

That's probably what took me the longest ^^ Thank you for your comment :)

[@maximecoulombe6125]

Wow at last someone Who understand the real thing

[@zacharylubicz]

Thank you guy! I'm not quite sure I played exactly the good hits at the rights places, but this music speaks to me🙏.

[@Mistykittykat]

Niceee! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@merdenoms1]

nicely done good job 👍🏽👍🏽🤘🏽

[@zacharylubicz]

Thank you, that was hot🔥

[@mattzee666]

[@zacharylubicz]

Thank you very much!

[@JayromB]

Franchement chapeau, j'espère que Baard aura l'occasion de jeter un œil à ta cover, tu lui fais honneur !!!

[@zacharylubicz]

Merci beaucoup ! J'espère aussi mais j'ai plus beaucoup d'espoir de ce côté là 😂

[@mylittlestudio]

Excellent ! Faut le tenir celui la… et ça tient 👍👍👍

[@Max-ol9qi]

based on your video we share a lot of music taste :D

[@zacharylubicz]

Good music never lies :P

[@Max-ol9qi]

@@zacharylubicz do you happen to have your transcript of mirage laying around somewhere and would you be willing to share ?

[@zacharylubicz]

@@Max-ol9qi I actually learned it only by ear, as I always do for all my covers. Sorry... That being said, it could be a good idea for the futur!

[@scosstard3542]

This is not a real cover of the song, you did not break any sticks!!!!! :D Seriously this is sick bro!!! You really nailed it , this is an incredibly difficult track to execute, the work you have put into this is insane and you have great technic and timing! I hope Baard sees this!

[@FabianVanL]

Also I think you are supposed to miss the China cymbal once. 🙂 Fantastic cover of a great song!

[@zacharylubicz]

Thank you so much for watching this video. It did indeed took me time but I also took great pleasure in learning it and understanding how Baard wrote his grooves! Thank you for your comment, it really motivates me to continue. Take care!

[@zacharylubicz]

@@FabianVanL I thought about it before I made the video but I would be ashamed if Baard saw me copy him 😝

[@hardbass_crew_hauptschule8236]

i have no idea whats happening. i like it

[@zacharylubicz]

Me too x)

[@gaetanrey1038]

fucking good

[@SirRamone]

WHAT THE FUCK !?!?! YOU FUCKING NAILED IT !!!

[@zacharylubicz]

Thank you ! It was no small feat. Baard is an unparalleled drummer in this world. This video is just a tribute to his creative work ;P

[@kubacube342]

nice!!! but I wonder if it's a little simpler than original or is it just my imagination?

[@zacharylubicz]

Hi! I learned the song by ear, so I may not have picked up some hits but overall I stayed faithful to the piece! Besides, my movements are not as wide as those of Baard, which makes the piece less spectacular.🤔 Actually, most of the songs aren't so difficult, just really well thought🤷‍♂️

[@cassargaming7008]

Amazing cover but you missed the china miss hit 😄 🤣

[@zacharylubicz]

You've got great eyes! Let's say this is my personnal touch ;)
