Rings of Saturn - Mental Prolapse drum cover

Here is more or less how I will be playing the new Rings of Saturn song Mental Prolapse live. Marco Pitruzzella recorded the drums on the album and they're really tough and intricate especially with the hands, so there's still a few things here and there that I'll be adjusting but nothing too major, just mainly needs some cleaning up. Come see us on the Gidim album release tour with Enterprise Earth, Angelmaker, and Brand of Sacrifice!

[@nr1w0r1d]

That’s some impressive drumming. Awesome to see your vids on tour with RoS as well.

[@xenobass5264]

You have a really nice way of playing with mad heel toe, gravity blasts, singles and blast beats, but still adding variety, bass drum complexity and groove. Much respect. I just finished up learning margidda and shards of scorched flesh. This one seems like a good next one. That melodic riff guitar and drums line up so well, it’s in insane. Thanks for putting this up 🤘😆

I would love to see a push-pull tutorial from you. Especially how you coordinate the "push" and the "pull" while two-foot-blasting. Way too sick dude. Major props.

[@JoshS5811]

Not lord Marco level, but still very good!

[@bultronlagore2095]

Another idiot trying to make music playing a competition. Please explain this “Not on the Level” opinion when both drummers have different styles of playing the drums. Both play in time and tight. I guarantee your not a musician but judge other musicians like your an expert on the subject. Both drummers are awesome and to say one is better than the other is what Ignorant Non Musicians who think music playing is a competition say. Yes you are allowed to have an opinion but that doesn’t mean it’s the right opinion.

[@JoshS5811]

This is a cover so the goal is the play exactly like the original correct? That’s always been my understanding of a cover at least. Perhaps I am totally wrong! I’ll have to do some research into this and find out! You are correct, I am not a musician, I just love to watch and listen to talented drummers.

[@psychogoreman198]

Nice one, bro :D. Do you try to match the drum parts exactly how they are on the album? Or do you have some freedom to change things up a little?

[@MikeCaputo]

I try to get pretty close without having to take forever to learn them. I like to get the meat and potatoes of it correct but the fills and stuff are kinda whatever unless I feel they're really important to a certain part of the song
