The Mars Volta - Roulette Dares - Drum Cover

[@reverbautopsy9093]

Good job. There's nothing easy about Jon's Theodore drumming on this song. He wasn't just a great technician but a true artist. Theodore plays drum rolls on this record that until this day I still haven't heard on other record.

[@compulsivepercussion]

Thanks for watching! Jon Theodore is one of my favorite drummers, he's so insane!

[@sergiocarrasco325]

Awesome work. The multiple angles are a welcome addition. Great to see the Volta make another appearance on the channel!

Your open handed style is so cool and smooth, I really enjoyed this!

[@compulsivepercussion]

Thanks! Chalk it up to my being left handed from the waist up and right handed from the waist down haha! Thanks for watching!

Fantastic work man. Already watched the video 5+ times, keep it up dude! (Also do more from The Mars Volta).

[@compulsivepercussion]

Thanks for watching! There's lots of TMV covers coming down the pipe!

Amazing song and cover.

This is sick!

Hey great cover! Also wanted to tell you that I think you did a great job with the sound of the stack. Obviously no one will ever recreate the stack Jon was using on the first 3 TMV albums but you did a great job of actually accomplishing a similar sound. Very well done.

[@compulsivepercussion]

Thanks for watching and thanks for the complement on the stack!

[@ap_walker]

loved it. 🎉

Would love to hear some "When I Lost My Bet" by The Dillenger Escape Plan. I think you'd smash...

[@compulsivepercussion]

Thanks for watching! I'll check out the Dilenger track!

You’re on fire Pablo!

[@compulsivepercussion]

Thanks man! Thanks for watching too!

[@jesseperez8805]

Love seeing another left handed hi-hatter!

[@compulsivepercussion]

Thanks for watching! Gotta get that lefty representation out there haha!

[@GetShorty29]

Incredible work once again… This is an amazing cover man… cheers!🔥💯

[@compulsivepercussion]

Thanks for watching!

[@JuanReyDios]

Just asking.. arent you playing bad the tom part that starts at 2:34 ? It sound displaced to me respect to the original track, let me know if im right or if im imagining it hahahaha Great sound!!

[@compulsivepercussion]

Thanks for watching! You're not imagining things, I flubbed the triplet section that you mentioned. The triplets get displaced from the original track, but I kept it in time so decided to keep this take! Good catch!

[@marcosbarrera5570]

Play this song at my funeral 🙏

[@enocochoacordova9872]

nice bro, next frances the mute xd

[@compulsivepercussion]

Thanks for watching! That's a great song, but I have to learn it haha!

[@aarontrector]

Hey man, awesome cover. Do you have anywhere you can point me to on how you count this song? Time signatures for TMV is always such a challenge.

[@compulsivepercussion]

Thanks for watching! I don't have anywhere in particular to point you, but I count the song in 6/4. It's helpful if you focus on the guitar riff more than the drums, as the drums are chopping the time up in such a way that it makes it harder to count. But the guitar riff repeats in an intuitive way and I count 6 quarter-notes per measure. The whole song stays in this time signature too. Hope that's helpful!

[@aarontrector]

@@compulsivepercussion appreciate it! Super helpful. I played drums from 1998-2005 and about to buy a kit again. Will be play through this and more of the songs you’ve already posted. Stoked to have found your channel! Hope you keep it going!

[@compulsivepercussion]

@@aarontrector I plan to keep it going as long as I can! If you have any more questions about the songs you pick to play feel free to reach out!

fuck... awesome

[@compulsivepercussion]

Thanks for watching!

[@Lemononn]

whats the symbol you play at 0:27 called?

[@compulsivepercussion]

Thanks for watching and for the question! That cymbal is actually a stack of two cymbals. The one on the top is a broken 18 inch medium thin crash upside-down, and the one on the bottom is a 16 inch china high. Both the cymbals are Zildjian A series cymbals!

[@Lemononn]

@@compulsivepercussionThanks

[@carlosgalindo3770]

Love the cover! What is the stack you're using?

[@compulsivepercussion]

Thanks for watching! The stack is an 18 inch Zildjian A medium thin crash with a small crack in it upside down on top of a 16 inch Zildjian A china high. I cranked the wing-nut on it to give the whole thing a very choked off sound, but there was still a lot of resonance to it.
