[@gabriellerosseowens8152]

Love the video. There's a shift at 3:15 when you completely immerse yourself that carries through to the end at which I no longer see the artist but only the art. You're a sensitive musician, and I love the conversation you're having with this piece.

[@FernandoMedinaDrummer]

Belated thanks, Gabby! Yes, it was a fun conversation :) Btw, more covers done since and even more coming soon, so feel free to sub if you haven't already :)

[@JonnyDee]

After so many times of hearing you do this beat on my dashboard, my roof, in the air & verbally, I had an idea of what this would sound like, but finally hearing it overlaid on the actual song....well, I'm blown away buddy, this sounds amazing! I will gladly forward this on, amazing choice of music, amazing technicals and complexity...so what's next?

[@FernandoMedinaDrummer]

Ha, what a trip reading this comment and sorry I didn't reply with a hearty thank you back then, Mr. JD! Stay tuned, more coming...

[@TonyMartinoMusic]

Great work Fernando, very impressive! Very complicated song to drum to, but you nailed it.

[@FernandoMedinaDrummer]

Belated thanks! Did my best with the drum composition. Worked out nicely :) Btw, more covers done since and even more coming soon...

[@kydrez784]

Man, I am not even listening to the singing, or the music. I am too fixated on the drum patterns, and rhythmic attention to style. This is too Grand!!

[@FernandoMedinaDrummer]

Belated thx, my friend! Stay tuned, more coming...

[@CheikhouSylla-vr8jh]

you get it very well maestro Fernando grazie mille grazie tuto bene ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@FernandoMedinaDrummer]

Thank you, Siil. I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@john.degregorio]

Interesting set configuration with the toms spread out like that. Never seen cross stick so interwoven with straight snare hits.

[@FernandoMedinaDrummer]

Fantastic job, Fernando! Great to see so much musicality and emphasis on texture. Especially enjoyed your snare work. It's an honor knowing that you were one of my drum students once. :)) Cheers from Chicago!

[@PupDogRecords]

Great job! Nice choice to cover. Really expressive and musical playing while maintaining the groove. Just curious...do you have the details/specs on the mics that were used to record this? Seems like the set up worked really well for this piece.

[@FernandoMedinaDrummer]

Jerry, many belated thanks! ...and no, no specs as it was done in another commercial studio and I just played the mofo ;)
