Hey kryptondude! I think one good way to start making a cover, is to learn the original song first. How does the drum beat or track sound in the original? Learn this groove first. Play along to the song a few tiems with this beat. Most likely after a few plays you may start getting bored with the repetitive patterns that play voer and over again in the song. This is where you start adding your own creativity. Add some of your own fills, spice up the grooves and beats. Experiement with different beats to see what sounds good and what doesn't. The more you play along to the song though the more your drumming will open up in creativty for that song.
Good luck!
