Rock on. The guitarist of my final live group was in a band called Rotus. The drummer for that band married Michael Anthony's daughter. I got to see Rotus play live with Michael Anthony at Hard Rock Anaheim. This was one of the tracks they jammed and forever will remind me of that show.

[@seanmccaberocks]

Before too long, you will expire the primary VH catalog, and have to start covering some of their deeper cuts. Beyond these deep, underground and bootleg tracks, just imagine all the unheard gems we may never get to hear, kept tucked away in Eddie's vault? In any event, great job on D.O.A Mike. Keep 'em comin'! 🔥🤘🤟

[@MikeConwayDrums]

Thank you Sean! I guess the hope is they start releasing the material from Eddie's vault... we'd never run out of stuff to cover!😳😃🙏🤘

[@deantalbotdrums]

Mike this was awesome! 👏👏👏👏💯 really powerful, fluent, and smooth, and I love the fill at 00:55, (and later) - was sooo cool🤘😎🤘Consistently top tier work, my friend! 🙌🙌🙌🤘🤘🤘

[@carlosdrums97]

This video is the reason tomorrow I'm going to listen for my first time the first two Van Halen albums. Your performance was even better than usual, so all I can say is you keep improving with every new video, even when I thought your drumming was perfect already. Congratulations, Mike. 🙂👏

[@MikeConwayDrums]

Thank you so much Carlos! Your great comments and support mean so much to me -- I appreciate you watching the premiere too. 💛💛 The first 2 VH albums are excellent, and I'm sure you will enjoy them. And hopefully we'll see a drum cover of early Van Halen from you too!👍👍🤘🤘🙏🙏

[@carlosdrums97]

@@MikeConwayDrums I have just listened to them and I must say they are pretty cool... But I prefer their 1984. I hope you are having a buen día, Mike. 🙂👏

[@MikeConwayDrums]

@@carlosdrums97 Me alegro que los hayas escuchado. El álbum debut fue especialmente un álbum decisivo de su época. Teníamos dioses de la guitarra como Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton y Jimmy Page, pero nadie había escuchado nada parecido a lo que estaba haciendo Eddie Van Halen. Pero sí, en mi opinión, 1984 también fue realmente el mejor álbum de la formación original.

[@waltonbrown]

Mike, you are a pleasure to watch my friend, consistency in your performances your no.1 asset. BTW the groove !!!!!!!!

Thanks so much Walton. That means a lot to me, coming from the groove master himself! 🙏💛🙏

[@MikeConwayDrums]

Thank you Jacobas! I didn't play in a band, I just listen to a lot of Van Halen!😃🙏💛

[@RedGearMusic]

You surely have to soon be running out of Van Halen songs to cover, right? Always a pleasure watching your videos while I'm at work. You can see the joy in your face while playing. Me on the other hand look like I need to use the bathroom during every cover. 💩🤣🤷‍♂ Any who....always great stuff Mike. Out of curiosity, how do you select what covers you are going to do? YOu have a running list and just pick?

[@MikeConwayDrums]

Thank you Bryan! 🙏💛 I do have a list, but I don't always stick to it, lol. Sometimes I might hear a song & decide to cover it, sometimes (like this one) I get a request. Some songs are out of my skill range & need a few friggin months of practice, so I do other covers while I'm working on trying to play them.😮 What about you? It seems like you probably have an organized plan with a list. 👍👍

[@RedGearMusic]

Oh yes I have a list... Thunder Kiss 65 WAS on it but I don't want to cover it after you did already. 😂 I don't do requests normally but the one in October (working on it now) is a request from my wife so it's a bit special. My list constantly grows and I just pick ones that are easy. LOL. Soon, my list will be all ridiculously hard shit and that's when I retire.

This is a customized Yamaha DTX -- I added rims and shells to the pads. 🤘😃👍
