Queensryche - Take Hold Of The Flame (Drum Cover)

[@williemaykit7940]

Man, this sounded great! You played it really well! I’m pretty new to drumming at 52 years old, but I’m going to try to learn this song from your video. The camera angles are excellent. Good job!

[@paulnehls4504]

@@williemaykit7940 Thank you for watching! Rock on!

[@rdjraa4983]

As Rocky would say,"Yo Paulie." You did this very well. I'm an off and on again drummer for more than 55 years{ we had to raise a family} so I ALWAYS notice the little nuances of drumming styles. What I noticed about you is how totally relaxed you are. And THAT is the big secret to top shelf drummers. On KZbin I've seen slightly tense, a little tense and full blown straight arm leg tense. You have it mastered. Therefore you made your performance look effortless. And that's how veteran drummers perform. So very well done. One of the best I've seen.

This is the most gentle version of this song I’ve ever heard ! Well done !!! Solid and clean

Criminally underrated drummer and equally criminally underrated album. I was 14 When I picked up The Warning, Ride the Lightning and Piece of Mind way back in 84, Lars, Scott and Nicko were my metal mentors, I had to play like them. So I saved my paper route and lawn mowing money and bought myself a second hand 5 piece drum kit from the local pawn shop and drove my neighbours and parents nuts for the next 5 years. then I got my own place and drove my new neighbours nuts... But Scott Rockenfield never gets mentioned when people discuss great rock drummers...

[@paulnehls4504]

Certainly a great tune by a great band!!

[@Riconnaissance]

That's better by far than the last time I saw Scott himself play it--he (over)simplified it so much! It's disheartening to see skilled drummers like him take the easy way out when they're no longer trying to "make it" or stand out. Great job man! I admit I've never taken the time to learn this one. I may be too old to do it now lol

[@paulnehls4504]

Thanks for checking it out! It is quite an arrangement!

Great !!! Good job!!!

Very cool! Great job!

[@hugolafhugolaf]

Great performance. Althought I'm not much of a hard hitter myself, I like this song so much, I don't know how you could refrain from really pounding those drums, haha! But, not an ounce of energy wasted on this otherwise suprisingly complex song. A+!

[@JourneysByJay]

You and Mike Fournier need to collab... You're both Queensryche MEGAfans! Awesome cover, man! Very well done!

[@drumssaga-mysticliterarypercus]

... I have not yet been able to play a song of this Band and I agree with what you said about the drummer - tremendously complex and, as always, you transform such complexity into something apparently simple ... Impressive, Paul!👌🏻👋🏻✨🙏🏻🥁^_^

You are very kind Marco! Thank you!

[@DrumsbyPaulyG]

Nice one mate. Rockenfield is quite a hard drummer to copy. You don’t actually realise how technical he is until you start to play his stuff. Well done. Cheers Paul.

[@paulnehls4504]

Thank you Pauly! You are right, there is more there, once you break it down!

[@scottwidby7540]

Well done! VERY well done! As a guitarist, I take "cues" from my drummer more than most people do and I certainly appreciate this version for sure. Too bad they pulled a "Beatles" and broke up over personalities and fought in court. One hell of a band and many others couldn't put together what Rockenfeld, Tate, DeGarmo, et. al could ever have dreamed of...

[@paulnehls4504]

Thanks for checking it out Scott! These guys certainly cranked out some great music indeed!

One I'd my top-3 favorite songs off my favorite Queensrÿche album. Shane that the guitars are mixed to low-but done so dies a mysterious nuance to the sound. U live Scott Rockeld's drumming. You puked it off to a "T"...!!

Cool Paul !! What kind of cymbal you using ? On the right side ? Make ? Size? Inverted crash ? Thanks

I have 2 Paiste 18” 2002 crash. 19” Sabian Paragon China, Zildjian xhat. Plan is to replace one of the 18” with a 20”…

[@RiverForestTruckRepair]

Very nice bro but only one little criticism for you and it's not taken away from your drum drumming.Your simplicity is very nice and s*** but in order to play that song right you got to f****** rock that s*** man you got to slam that b****** man. I know you don't want to hurt your drums and I know you're a professional drummer prefer to play out more of a studio and a format and proper way drum level But if you want me to do this😮😮😮you got to throw slam them* pieces of sticks with a little more authority f you want to play that song, . You hurt my feelings. Just kidding, that's one of my favorite songs. That's a bad m*********** it's a nice tight. It's tight and loud like f****** rock and roll this man. But by the way I love your drumming. You're very good though,.. far better than me..
