    Default 2 Princes drum cover.

    I recorded a few videos Sun. I've seen this song posted several times. I play it a little different than most people. I use both hands on the hat. I might be a little too busy, but that's how I do it. I'd like to thank Shane Roney, he inspired me to make some videos. I hadn't played it for a couple of years, so I had rough time getting it presentable. It's not perfect but it'll do. Let me know what you think.

    Besides your snare being completely on the wrong side of the kit I think it's great

    Seriously nice job, I would think it is actually much harder and less efficient playing it that way with both hands on the hats and alternating snare hits with left and right hand but if it works for you than thats all that matters.

    My only complaint would be that the kick drum is not quite loud enough but that seems to be a common problem on alot of these drum covers played over the MP3 versions I have noticed.

    I am starting to delve into the world of recording covers as well and am wondering what type mixer and software your using? Oh yeah and what kind of kit is it? snare sounds pretty good

    Decide whether this is love for the craft or simply an ego thing

    LOL. Snare on wrong side, love it. I actually turned down the kick a little. I'm pretty new at this. Software? I don't have any. My camera is a Q-3 Zoom. My mixer is a old Pevey 7 Ch. a friend gave me. I've got Equation Alpha series mics. They're budgit mics. But my drums are real good though. Thank for the coments.

    Thanks for the GREAT comments. It made me feel all warm inside. I really struggled with it, played it several times. I use to play it a lot. It's been a couple of years at least.

    Very nice, Lefty. My band started playing this one last year. I shot a video looking out from the drums and couldn't believe how high the adrenalin rush took the tempo for the first performance! Yikes!

    Nice job!

    I noticed a comment about your kick not being loud enough but with a sound system with a 8 inch sub-woofer or larger, your kick sounds really good and its all balanced nicely - your toms come thru deep and righteous. Your drumming is smooth and I love your use of the Hi-hat - - I used to play Disco tunes in the same fashion. Very tastefully done~!

    Wow! Thanks. I tried to mix me with the music, as if it were the real drums. I think my cyms. are a little lacking though. When I turned them up, they sounded distorted. I'm just learning how to mic. I need to experiment with the overheads. In fact this is the 1st time I've used them in a video. On my last videos I didn't have a phantom power supply. Got a used battery powered one for 15 dollars. That might be my distortion issue. Thanks again.

    Solid playing. I liked how you effortlessly went to open hand and back.
