Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb - Drum Cover

My first album 'Lack of Sleep' is out now!
Available everywhere: hyperurl.co/LACKofSLEEP
My name is Ewan Cunningham, I'm from Falkirk, Scotland. I'm an 18 year old, self taught musician. I started playing drums at the age of 4 and I'm now a multi-instrumentalist playing drums, guitar, bass, keyboards and vocals. I've been teaching myself to mix, record, film, edit and produce music since I was 10 years old and this is my passion.
This is a drum cover of "Comfortably Numb" by Pink Floyd from their 1979 album "The Wall".
► My awesome Pink Floyd butterfly t-shirt is from RedBubble: shrsl.com/?glzv ◄ Using this link helps me out by giving me a commission without costing you extra!
What can I say? This is obviously one of the most requested songs and rightly so! A few days ago I filmed a few more full covers in the Dobbie Hall and they went really well so look forward to those in the next month or so. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this cover :-)

Comfortably done. Excellent job.

[@80smusicfan90]

Why do I get a dire straits vibe when listening to this masterpiece??. No honestly, excellent drum cover, man! You rock!

[@donlanthier877]

Hi Ewan. Well it probably goes without saying that this is my favourite Pink Floyd song of all time and in your cover you kept such tight control and I have to imagine that it must feel hard to rein it in particularly during the last solo, the outro. My god you held on so well! I caught a fleeing glimpse..... Ewan of your entire mastery of your drum kit and all things Pink Floyd! Loved this totally!!!

[@ewancunningham]

Hey Don, sorry for the late reply. By the amount of likes your comment got shows how nice it was! Thank you as always for leaving such encouraging and supportive comments. I think you'll like my Dobbie Hall videos, particularly the last one ;-)

[@donlanthier877]

Nice to hear from you ewan, I'll check out those Dobbie Hall videos. I have to imagine they will be exceptional as is your usual standard! I wish you continued success!!

[@supratikchakraborty6422]

Finally! This was a pretty faithful cover.

[@user-lr1wq9xs6v]

May God bless everyone in the universe with no exceptions!!!!....…..❤...…….I adore you Jesus Christ and thank you for all your blessings!!!..... Amen.... Happy 4th let's celebrate!🎉❤ 🥳

[@ewancunningham]

Hey guys! Hope you enjoy this drum cover. I recently filmed a few more full covers at The Dobbie Hall which went really well. I also uploaded my very first original demo to my other channel which you can find here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p6mzkKiYotR5etU ...I would really appreciate feedback :-) Thanks!

[@SF-xz9ol]

As anyone learning the drums we have probably watched countless drum videos on youtube. Every now and then you come accross someone who can inspire you to keep practicing not only because they are a good musican and play well, but have really connected to the music they are covering just as we all want too. Thanks man

[@corbanrdl]

I love how i could see you really anticipating that lovely legend of a solo at the end. I’m a drummer myself too, and whenever I play to this song, I can’t help but just play every note (as much as possible) with my kit, mimicking Gilmour’s guitar

[@montana_eq1790]

this is amazing, my favorite band is Pink Floyd and comfortably numb is my favorite song, i'm more or less a beginner at drumming and i would love to play this song someday.

[@RafaelCBeltrame]

Since English is not my first language, I really don't know how to express what I felt listen to your cover... It is brilliant, clean, objective (without "firulas", as we say in Portuguese) and wonderful as the original drums! Congratulations from Brazil!

[@dparsons343]

Spot on! Every fill, very Mason like!

[@Alenbrant]

A cover of fucking, best channel of covers that already saw

[@ryanroberts5195]

My father played this when i was a child im now 43 yrs old and my dad passed away last year just a few weeks after my 41st birthday this song is the song i plan on learning to play on the drum set that i am right now purchasing. I hope i can do it justice like you have in this video. I really want to be able to play this song and many others that my father used to lesson to when i was a child. thank you for playing this song Ewan

[@guzdolanmaz5541]

Enjoying your Pink floyd covers, you’re making all perfectly!

[@foxtrot789]

Bro I have so much respect and admiration for you. Your passion for Floyd actually makes me emotional.

[@artyb3115]

You are unbelievable :) When your video appears, it's probably like a new Pink Floyd album is released. Thanks for sharing these recordings!

[@echoesoffloyd5000]

Your drumming makes me comfortable, Ewan

[@Edelweiss1102]

One of my Pink Floyd favorites. Well done!

[@crazywyteboy13]

Absolutely brilliant, as always!

[@anelchaidez4949]

me encantó, me fascino, lo amé

[@johnnyallen4536]

Excellent ! Ewan Cunningham

[@masonkelter]

This is the one we've been waiting for! The drums seem very easy on this song, but they are so classy and they must be played at a very consistent tempo.. One wrong move and the whole mood is ruined. You MASTERED this one man. Congrats to you, and I can't wait to see more.. Preferably, Astronomy Domine, but don't feel rushed.

[@MrGolesario]

Perfect song, good play.

[@williamaltman1084]

Good work Ewan

[@marcosc_T.B.]

Hello Ewan! Watching yourself as you are drumming is a real experience. I personally prefer this version of Live 8 concert in 2005.

[@eduardoelias8007]

"Comfortably Numb" no way...!!!Congratulations Ewan...!!! amazing man...!!!✌

[@WillCasallas]

Where is my Atom Heart Mother cover? Please do one, Ewan. It's impossible to find one.

[@ronschneiberg5793]

Sold me, no crazy and show boat, rudiments, only, and I am not a pro, but absolutely love the your techniques.

[@johnnyallen4536]

Perfect ! You look like you could feel it .(Locked in the pocket ).

[@AidenShurikenHeckman]

Brilliant my good sir!

[@annhutcheson5770]

Nice job! ❤️

[@nahomisita5337]

Love it

[@tamasonor4011]

Niiiice! This ones all about "leaving spaces" and allowing the music to breathe. Such a fun one to play as a drummer, and of course you did a beautiful job with this as always Ewan. EDIT... oooh, that Paiste swiss crash sounds great at the end. Almost like Nick's China! Do my eyes deceive me or is it a bit out of shape?

[@DRUMMERMIKE]

i think its awesome you can play this on almost every instrument

[@therevenants]

Beautiful👍🥁

[@vilajoaovelho]

Genial!!! thanks

[@giu.c.5080]

Complimenti!

[@grahamdesmond3547]

It's a little tricky. But I'm getting there. It's a great song to drum to. Good drumming

[@shanelester6471]

This is helpful for me for doing the bassline

[@iuriiu4351]

Super! I'm enjoyed!

[@juliegunn7944]

Perfect....

[@gatonegro1945]

[@AlbertoRossiDrums]

Amazing Ewan 👍😉

[@IntelligentHorseworldofrandom]

This guy kinda looks like Owen Shroyer! Great drumming! :D

[@RecordingBlog]

Relaxed and wondeful - Ewan at his best! Do you play to an additional click or just the Playback as guideline?

[@berendwijbenga9960]

Brilliantly done! BTW The PF exhibition in London ends with this song.

[@rafaelcalmet3038]

Finally!

[@recrock6524]

thank you BRO :)

[@matiaslucasroger]

Hi Ewan. Congrats for your excellent playing. Tbh, this is my fav pink Floyd song, and you nailed it. I would like to know if I can get the isolated track of the drums you played. It would be great, thank you.

[@user-gz2dj4rv4v]

Super.

[@user-cs4rq1gk5r]

Молодец! Исполняй в том же духе!

[@jimmygreco272]

[@avinashdevadanam5143]

👏👏👏

[@zachgarnett5292]

Excellent work! Have you covered Us and Them yet?

[@kevinbick1234]

Fantastic, performance Ewan if there was 1 thing i could mark you down for would be that cymbal strike at 5 mins 11 secs, that cymbal do-sent do it for me :( towards the end you hit it and its not too bad :)

[@salihyahyaiscen6447]

great

[@headofvengarl8893]

Are you using one of your crashes as a ride in the chorus? That's pretty cool.

[@mikemyers2626]

Awesome job! Have you covered Time?
