Trivium - In Waves Drum Cover - Johnkew

[@HavokTheorem]

Glad you did the Capsizing the Sea intro! Sounds awesome. Really high quality.

[@subbydagwoods]

I've never sat through a whole drum cover till this one. Proper!

[@jackfrost-qu7lv]

used to drum for 25 years and it fell away with life but watching you makes me want to get back into it. excellent job, loved it

[@TheSicknessIsTheCure]

I've been going through your videos all night dude. Trivium, Rush, Tool.. You have the best taste in music.

[@bunnyhd]

I'm decent friends with the guys and talk to Nick a lot and I know they'd all be INSANELY impressed. I love this too because you don't see drum covers all that often let alone accurate ones with the drums tuned correctly, right rhythms etc. Well done :) Also gotta give credit to Brian Heafy for bringing me here!

[@johnkew]

@Haleigh Dever Wow. I never thought that a video I made in the barn behind my house would ever be seen by the band's friends and family :-) Thanks so much for your comment, it really means a lot to me.

[@MrStraightSpine]

Best trivium drum cover I've ever seen, hands down. You rock dude! :D

[@nonameband97s]

I'm a pretty tough critic, but I am amazed at your skill and technicality and precision, just everything about this song. Good job man. Keep it up, you're doing great.

[@JaredStalkerDrums]

One of the best sounding kits on youtube, no question!

[@shantanudhiman8194]

I'm a TOOL fan and obviously, I've been watching all your TOOL covers which are insanely tight and the best TOOL covers ever. But watching this, I'm pleasantly surprised. 🙆🏻‍♂️ I'm covering this song and this video is helping me a lot. You're just too Amazing 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

Thanks man, I'm glad you noticed that one. It was new for me.

[@johnkew]

Thanks man! I checked out your band - I dig your music :-) A nice mix of metal and hardcore.

[@JeeMofc]

well played there, going to give this one a try! :)

[@RedWolfDrift2000]

I felt that! Subscribed!

[@johnkew]

@SuperJR03 Thanks for your feedback and the tag my friend. Glad to hear you got Logic, it's a great piece of software. I am constantly learning new things about it.

[@littlelogan2449]

Can tell you had fun on this one. Let loose on those drums haha!!

[@kuguar13]

The best! Can you do some killswitch engage covers?

[@Natanoj4]

The intro gave me the chills! Simply brilliant!

[@johnkew]

Thanks for your kind words my friend, and you might be happy to know that I've been listening to Rush's new single (Headlong Flight) on repeat since it was released Monday.

[@johnkew]

@Biggestmutemathfan Thanks man, I'm glad you liked the intro (Capsizing). I thought that adding that would add some good buildup and dynamics, but was a little worried that it drags on too long. I think it works well overall though.

[@keesedip]

very awesome! the intro couldn't be better!

[@WillBloodfarm]

Oh, and as if I havent commented enough - those Paragons are F****KN awesome.

[@Benve]

omg this is amazing

[@johnkew]

Thanks for your feedback!

[@johnkew]

That's great to hear man, thanks for your feedback!

[@johnkew]

That's good to hear my friend, thanks!

[@THSurvivalGear]

JOHN!!!!! DUDE!!! This blew my mind!!!! Awesome choice in songs! It seems like every video you make you take it to a completely different level! You rocked the double base in this.... Of course, if you can play Danny Carey, why not this right?! HAHAHA! Definitely liked, favorited and shared this on Facebook! Halfway through this video I got a little scared because I thought for a moment my face was being rocked off, and melting. Keep em coming brother!!!!

[@cool_fn]

crazily amazing

[@johnkew]

@HeisW140 I'm glad you saw that in the making of video - I of course panned the studio fbecause I knew you were interested. I'm struggling with soundproofing though. I actually had the cops at my door two days ago for a noise complaint. The officer was a drummer thankfully so he was very understanding. I'm working out a time to play when my neighbor isn't home, and baking her a pie for goodwill

[@willbloodfarm2776]

Awesome! I subbed for the second time its so good :-)

[@johnkew]

@ScalerWave Thanks Jim, yeah this is the first time I did a drum duo. It was good fun playing around with it in the mix. I was thinking of you when I was working on that big floor tom sound. Even with the hypercardiod Audix mic, Ithere were still too many cymbal transients to bring out the tom as much as I wanted. I can certainly feel your pain trying to get a good sound from those cheap DR mics on AIC and Vicarious!

[@BahSarp]

You rock man! Period.

[@drummerbenpig]

good job dude!!keep going!

[@yucksuan]

very classy choice of cymbals

[@StarFireITA]

5689 views? You must be kidding me. If i could play drums like you man, every single person from my city (we are in 12000) would have to watch a video like this XD Awesome drumming, awesome training and timing =D peace out

[@johnkew]

@aenimicvids Thanks so much, it really means a lot to me that you would watch the video even if you're not a fan of the song. Cheers!

[@357mikle]

THIS IS FUCKING AWESOME ..... GREAT JOB MAN !!!

[@blackjesus1026]

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@xc-visuals]

You sir, are a Beast

[@1OOOOpeople]
