Motley Crue - Use It or Lose It - Drum Cover | MBDrums

A Drum Cover of Use it or Lose it by Mötley Crüe
The 7th song from their 3rd album: Theatre of Pain
⬇️ More info down here ⬇️
The guitar slide at the beginning was added in by me, also you can see how the process of recording typically goes at the very end. Fall down, get back up, try again.. and again... and again.
I wasn't fully happy with this cover.. The last fill is sloppy and there's a few hand patterns that don't line up 100% to the bass drums.. but maybe its only me being WAAAYY too critical. LOL!
Anyways, this is one of those hidden gems off an album that wasn't really that popular from the Motley Catalogue. HOWEVER. I think its WICKED!

A hidden gem from Theatre of Pain 🤘 Check out a _failed attempt_ where catch the splash with my stick: 2:39 😭 💥A *_HUGE_* Thank you to all the viewers and subscribers! *You all ROCK!* 💥 Cheers everyone!🤘❤️ -Martin

That’s wedged in there... It happens...

[@gabriellorenzi7769]

Dude, that was sick! Congrats for the great job!

[@MartinBellamyMBDrums]

Thanks Gabriel! Really glad you enjoyed it! Such a good Motley song! More on the way soon! 🤘🤘

[@Earthmandolin]

​@MartinBellamyMBDrums so what's doing the 32nd's ?

[@MikeConwayDrums]

You ROCKED this! Love the ride bell patterns on top of the double kicks, and the alternating chinas at the end are friggin SICK. Well done dude!! 🤘🤘

[@MartinBellamyMBDrums]

Hey Thanks Mike!! Im not gonna lie, this one took a LONG time to get down. I'd spend weeks just listening to the track on repeat to pick up the rhythms. And Really glad you liked the Double Chinas!! Matches all that tasty double Bass!😂🤘

[@MikeConwayDrums]

@@MartinBellamyMBDrums All the work definitely paid off -- you OWNED this. Powerful stuff man!

[@sniper161718]

One of Tommys cooler and more difficult songs to play and you nailed it

[@MartinBellamyMBDrums]

Dude it was so challenging! haha I think this was another one that didn't quite make it on Shout at the time. so it has that early raw energy still!

[@sniper161718]

@@MartinBellamyMBDrums the locomotive sound of double bass and the use of chinas without over using them was perfect. Again, well done brother

[@AddiKolb]

Awesome cover man! I love the way your kit sounds! Especially the snare

[@AddiKolb]

Hey man also too, to back off of that, you should consider playing some covers of a really awesome band called Kings of Leon, I don’t know if you know them, but if not, I recommend listening to them! They are a really good group!

[@MartinBellamyMBDrums]

Hey Thanks so much!! Ive been working on the snare mix over the past few months to get it sounding "decent" haha I think there's a little more tweaking left though. Also! Kings of Leon! Great Band, we sometimes rock their songs in my jam band! Im in Canada, so they are pretty well known 🤘 I have a TON of recorded material, so I'll see if maybe I can squeeze a song in eventually here! Thanks for the comment 🤘

[@polandblueberry6361]

Those hats sound sooooooo good

[@MartinBellamyMBDrums]

Thank you!! Nice and crispy! haha Sabian makes some killer cymbals, the HHX are so dark. Just the best

[@ricardodecastro5793]

FIRE MAN!! Fukin FIRE!!!!!! @1:05 left-hand cymbal-hit finishing the fill!!!! I kept jumping back for that one

[@aaronondrums4588]

Awesome job on this! I like Moltey Crue a lot. I know this song but I haven't heard it in a while. Great upload 🤟😎🎵🥁

[@MartinBellamyMBDrums]

Hey thanks Aaron! Yeah this one is a killer track! Glad to hear other guys are loving the deep cuts too! 🤘🤘 cheers man!

[@TonySerioDrums]

Spot on tight drumming!! Super enjoyable to watch!!

[@MartinBellamyMBDrums]

Thank you so much Tony!! 🤘🤘

[@AceGuitarCovers]

Man, aside from the playing, I love how you mix in you drums in the track!

[@MartinBellamyMBDrums]

Hey Thank you!! I spend a ton of time watching tutorials from all genres of music. Nolly has a great series on the "basics" of mixing live drums. Highly recommended. It's always a work in progress! So thank you for that comment, I'm glad you like it!

Hey Thank you so much man!! Really appreciate the kind words!!🤘🤘Glad you liked it!

[@marcus_mayhem]

Man, that was freaking awesome!!!!! Wow I love that Meinl ride!!!! If I wasn't playing SABIAN cymbals, I'd be playing MEINL! So great to see you playing this music brother!!!!!

[@MartinBellamyMBDrums]

Thanks Marcus! yeah 80's and 90's metal is what music should be haha Also that ride is a 24" Chris Adler (Lamb of God) signature. The bell cuts like a mofo haha, but I find the bow rings out SOOO loud haha I'd probably be using the 22 AAX Metal ride, but I have slowly fallen in love with that meinl. Thanks for checking out the premiere!! 😊🤘

[@marcus_mayhem]

@@MartinBellamyMBDrums that's what I'm using, 22in AAX Metal Ride......Very heavy cymbal. I find it very easy to control.

[@MartinBellamyMBDrums]

@@marcus_mayhem its such a beautiful cymbal, The Rev from A7X used it (However, he used the Zildjian Mega Bell for recording). I feel like the next equivalent would be the Sabian HH Power Bell. Just HUGE! and probably 1.2 times the weight of the AAX🤣 (pretty sure Travis from Trivium used those while he was playing with them... I can recommend the 9701 DW Low boom stand. It's heavy as shit and can handle both that ride AND the 17" crash that is "dog-boned" off it as well! Sorry for Nerding out LOL

[@mmunoz6257]

This is so sick. That beginning was awesome

[@MartinBellamyMBDrums]

Thanks so much!! Glad you enjoyed it🤘

[@kyledrums702]

Yesssss 🤘🏼🥁🤘🏼Probably My favorite 🎭CRUE gem. MB with the flawless performance once again. Thank you Buddy 😎

[@MartinBellamyMBDrums]

Thanks Kyle! I'd have to agree with you, it 100% isn't a sleeper track. Tommy Lee is NUTS on this one, probably their most "In your Face" track off the album. I have 2 more recorded and ready to go! Louder and Too Young 🤘🤘

[@guitarmeetsscience]

You're one of the baddest out there man - I caught the 'catch' after a couple of extra views at the end...It had a nice ring! To freakin awesome!!!

[@MartinBellamyMBDrums]

Hey Thanks so much Jimmy! Glad you enjoyed it! That damn cymbal grab at the very end! I tried a few more takes after that to get it 100% perfect... But.. that didn't go so well HA! SO, this is the take everyone gets 😂

[@guitarmeetsscience]

@@MartinBellamyMBDrums LMAO - the whole thing for a cymbal grab...now that's devotion man! :)) It was great!

[@bob70drum62]

.I come back to that title. the general sound of your drums is beautiful and I love your way of making the cymbal ride sounded. the material is not enough every musician has his own sound, still a thousand kudos

[@MartinBellamyMBDrums]

Hey Thanks so much Bob! Yeah That Ride is a signature one by an artist named Chris Adler. He played in Lamb of God (pretty Metal stuff). BUT! it rings out so nice in that 80's rock and new age Metal music.

[@mondospark]

Agree with your pin A fave with his double bass work. Great job glad YT put you on my home page

Greate Work! For me, Mötley Crüe is the best band ever, Theatre of Pain is one of the best albums ever created in the world. Can you make a video trying to make your drum kit sound like Tommy Lee's drum kit wich he used in Theatre of Pain? LONG LIVE MÖTLEY ROCKIN' CRÜE!
