Refused - "The Deadly Rhythm" (Drum Cover)

Refused is one of my favorite bands with such an amazing and creative drummer. This album is full of inspiration, and it has influenced my drumming style a lot, (dare I say it!?), probably more than any other band. Ben Koller from Converge is definitely a huge influence as well.
But anyway, I tried learning this song like 5 years ago and I just could not figure it out, so the other day I decided to try it again and it only took me about 3 hours to get it this close!

[@jilips]

The best show I've ever witnessed was Refused and Raised Fist on the same day, will never forget that insanity.

[@PrettyCoolDrumShow]

That sounds awesome! I love Raised Fist too! They have a lot of great records but Dedication is one of my favorites for sure

[@hermanisaza67]

Oof, that's a tough one. 👍

[@alexisonfire2076]

[@kitworkz]

Damn dude! Nice one. I'm working on that song now. You killed it.

[@WilliamMcCarthyIII]

[@mrjehupitchfork]

Great cover and not an easy one ot do. Great subtle nuances that are hard to capture.

[@MrConstant23.]

Siiiiiiiick

[@blammonthedrums8071]

Super duper

[@jsegalbts]

Fuck yes!!!! U rock

[@slayabouts]

Nicely done! This album has been really influential to me as well as it inspired me to start recording. I’ve even tried pretty hard as a non-drummer (key word: “tried) to replicate Sandstrom’s style on this and Songs To Fan The Flames of Discontent within my own songs. If you have any advice other than flat out copying bits and pieces, I’d love to hear it! Another thing I’ve struggled with is trying to get the snare sound off this album. Do you happen to know what kind of snare they used on this album? I’m pretty sure it was. DW collector’s kit, but that’s about as much as I know

[@chusmaestro]

Well done and good choice, pure jazzcore! David Sandström has a unique and classy style, I stole a lot of fills and pattenrs too, for example the beat on Protest Song '68 which I always play in the soundchecks.

[@PrettyCoolDrumShow]

That beat in protest song 68 is probably the coolest beat to sound check with haha definitely a classic, and thank you!

[@Seaflea2377]

Fuck yeah man! Killed that shit

[@biff2k2]

You should cover “beauty” by refused.

[@julianmoore3615]

Fucking sick dude!!

[@mellendegenerate]

Well this fuckin SLAPS doesn't it!

[@TimeToSk8OrDie]

Absolutely fucking killed it. What heads are you using on the snare? Sounds amazing.

[@jeremylizpfeiffer2840]

This beat confuses my brain in a couple parts. In the beginning ,after the jazzy ride bell intro you hit the snare twice and then is it 3 tom hits and then a kick?

[@scottiehopkins2991]

Hey just curious, what drum set do you use? I’m thinking about getting some new drums because mine don’t quite have the metal sound that i want.

[@PrettyCoolDrumShow]

Hey! This kit is an old Ludwig Maple from around the 70s-80s. What are some bands that have the sound of drums you want?

[@scottiehopkins2991]

@@PrettyCoolDrumShow i just joined a new band called tetanus (feel free to check them out on Spotify/Apple Music/ Bandcamp). I’m replacing their old drummer, and my drums don’t quite have the same sound as their ep. I want to go for an early Ceremony or a trapped under ice sound. I’m playing a 1976 Ludwig kit at the moment, but I’ve found that it sounds too jazzy for the metal/punk genre.

[@PrettyCoolDrumShow]

@@scottiehopkins2991 I gotcha! I love the old Ludwig kits but yeah I can see that not being the best sound for heavy music, especially if they’re smaller sizes. If you wanted a newer kit, you can’t go wrong with Tama star classic, also the pearl export kits are pretty affordable and cool. I would suggest at least a 22” kick 12” tom and 16” floor. There’s a lot of other brands that probably would be good enough but I haven’t tried many of them

[@michaelneuber1120]

Can you make a tutorial? Or at least break down some of the parts and how you count them? Tak så mykket!

[@cobrapdc295]

great cover! one of my favorites band, check out our HC band from Playa del Carmen Mexico COBRA

I made cover guitar deadly rhythm cause watch this video 😂
