Here is my little quarantine video covering Skillet’s “Monster”. Quick and easy and just like all the other dude’s posting on YouTube, I got my quarantine beard going as well. I need a damn haircut! My GoPro battery died within the last minute of shooting this cover, so no overhead shots for the ending. ?

The first time I ever heard Suicidal Tendencies was back in 1991 in high school; fell in love with them immediately! I always wanted to cover one of their songs and what better way than now to start off the new year?! Very fun song to play and trying to play it like Josh Freese does pose some challenges -I did my best! ? The ending minute of the song (3:45 for you cheaters) is the best part. It really opens up, has some really fun kick patterns, and one of my favorite fills at around 4:07.
Nothing unusal with the drum preset in this one, except I added a stacked spalsh/china for one part of the song.

I was never planning on ever doing this cover because there are already so many covers of this song out there. But I have been in a funk lately. Not wanting to play nor wanting to make drum covers, so I needed something to get me out of it. Ghost to the rescue once again. I just love playing their songs!

Yea another Ghost cover…I love playing their songs and I want to have the best drum cover versions of their songs. So if I see a Ghost song that could use a good sounding and pretty close to accurate drum cover, I go for it! This tune is one of my favorites and took a little time to learn all the little nuances in the transitions. Even after playing the song for about a month straight, when it came time to filming, I still missed some of the little things and I had to start all over again. Lot’s of screaming outtakes like -“It’s so easy, just remember it!” LOL. Enjoy.
For some reason on this kit preset, I decided to layer an additional crash cymbal from the NY Studio Vol 2 library to Crash cymbal #1 & #4. Not sure why I did that, but it sounds good.

I normally don’t do requests for drum covers because most people want you to play the most outrageous cover that I have no clue how to play. However, when someone commented I should cover Witch Image by Ghost, I just had to. I love the song and I love Ghost; a match made in heaven! The song is not too difficult and I nailed the cover in one take which normally doesn’t happen! Thanks for the suggestion, Moran Shetland
This is still one of my favorite drum covers I did. It’s not a very difficult song at all but it had some elements in the song that I really enjoyed playing; especially all the drum fills near the end.
