Opeth - Heir apparent - drum cover

Screams at the end are well deserved

Yeah fr, if I just did that I'd lose my shit

Bro you're hitting those drums like they owe you some money.

Well…technically the drums do end up costing a shitload of money. 😂

[@ryanscott6852]

I have never clicked on one of your videos so fast! I have been listening to Opeth for probably the last 18 years or so. Such an awesome band and this is an awesome cover!

[@dylanwhitesockswatson]

haha that's cool to read man thanks a lot ! Opeth is one of the greatest Metal bands of all time in my opinion. I'll try to do more of their songs on this channel !

I love how much effort is put into these covers bro. I know each one is going to deliver each time. Good stuff man. Opeth kills

[@dylanwhitesockswatson]

Thank you so much for this comment ! Opeth rules !

[@sjn_]

Damn, this is one of the most badass drum cover I've ever seen. You sir totally nailed it!

[@fcamiola]

One observation after watching both this video and your cover of Ghost of Perdition....Lopez truly is amazing of course, but dude, Axe also just kills it too! Different players but I don't see Lopez as being superior as a lot of Opeth nuts do. I was extremely bummed to see Axe leave the band...what a tremendous loss. Anyway, Congrats on this man! Just stunning playing.

[@dylanwhitesockswatson]

Absolutely agree with you 100%. I think I've discovered Opeth around the time Watershed got out and to this day it's still one of the most inspiring albums I've ever listened to. Axe is fantastic and I hate people making useless comparison between the two. Opeth have always had fantastic drummers and they should both be recognized. I'm looking forward to hearing what the new drummer has to bring to the table ! Thanks a lot for the kind words Frank :D

[@dadish90]

Man I agree so much, most of the people think that Lopez was better. Is a great drummer of course but I think that axe added something that was missing before. You can really feel his drumming in the prog records like pale communion or sorceress. And when he left...was tough, terrible loss

[@mcgarnacle21]

I have nothing against "new" Opeth, it's just not for me, so I'm not sure how Axe goes on the newer stuff, but I think Axe's drumming on Watershed is just sublime, he really has a way of playing to the song while still being incredibly technical and groovy. He's just a sick drummer.

[@fcamiola]

I'm excited to hear the new chap! He seems to be very highly regarded and Mikael was raving about him, always great news! Cheers

[@henriquetorresdasilveira6727]

OMG WHAT A PRECISION!!! I'd love to see deliverance or baying of the hounds!!! Excellent work dude!!!

[@dylanwhitesockswatson]

Thanks a bunch! I'll probably do Deliverance at some point but it's one of the hardest songs I've ever tried to learn.

[@Algrad87]

Really great man! Excellent work!! 😄👏👏

[@DougBrito]

That scream at the End was the best part! Fuckin amazing Job, my friend!!

[@fabricedrummer]

Mega mega congratulations man !!!! I’m an Opeth fan since 2006 and I specially love the Watershed album… and this song ! Great to see you go crazy at the end 😂 I would have done the same !!! I’ve been playing this song for 15 years now and I could never go through that damned 6:57 weird off-beat bridge…. Bravo mon gars ! Maintenant j’ai une vidéo pour m’entraîner thanx & respect 🤘

[@richardcoiner699]

Coming across this while looking for Opeth drum covers. You are super talented! Great work on all of the Opeth covers you've done!!!!!!!!! Wondering if you'd cover anything from Martin Lopez' tenure with Opeth? Maybe something from the My Arms, your Hearse album? I know The Amen Corner and When would really be a good challenge, if you're willing?

[@gunwantiramchandani5431]

Great cover. You're Awesome! I'm sure people will appreciate Axe more as a drummer after seeing this. He fills Lopez's shoes pretty well in my opinion. 8:44 See! Axe does on a regular basis, what must have taken you and he so much practice and so many takes.

[@dylanwhitesockswatson]

Thank you so much ! Axe is a fantastic drummer and he proved it many times. He's great in Opeth. He plays very complicated stuff with so much groove and feel !
