From one dummer to another, I have been playing drums since I was 15 years old (now 57). I bought the VH 1984 album the day it was released and have probably listened to it hundreds of times over the years and drummed to most of the songs almost as often. I can say hands down, that is the best drum cover of Panama I have ever seen / heard. If someone told me that I was listening to the album, I wouldn’t have questioned them at all. Bravo brother, BRAVO!!!!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👍😎
Ever wonder why so many drummers get so little attention??? It's because they don't play like this beast. Showman and an EXCELLENT drummer too. This guy should be playing in a top shelf rock band and HE WOULD be the attraction!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love playing like I'm fu%king mad at the set and want to tear it apart, but notice Wade can tone it down when he needs to then just blast into the next fill !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Absolutely AWESOME. I could watch this dude play for hours and I bet he could blast for hours!!!!!! I'm a Shannon Larkin fan (Godsmack), but Wade Murph is a close 2nd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Never seen anyone with his much aggressive attitude and that's the way it should be. Rock on dude!!!!!!!!!!
Alex has said multiple times that when he played, he was playing like he was viciously trying to attack the drum set. This guy, fuck man. Has that same attitude. Incredible drumming and attitude
The tone is right, hes on time with the tempo, his drums if i close my eyes its a spitting replica sound of alexs its the best cover ive heard on youtube
Everything about this is so good. The drumming is phenomenal. You have an awesome set up drums, cymbals, mics, everything. I also like you filmed it in B&W. Great job!
I’ve been jamming to this cover, and my students love the hair and how you are a blond Alex on this cover! Rock on! Love it! Lost my hero, but the music lives on FOREVER!!!!
Auditioning for a cover band. Thank you bro, you saved my life! There is just so much to this song, it really helps to have a high quality video like this!
This is OUTSTANDING! I've been wanting to cover this myself with drums. I used to play this song in a band in the 90s but could never really get the intro down.....I mean make it accurate...your way is brilliant and sounds amazing. Thanks very much! Keep on rockin!
Amazing cover! My band covered this song. Although Panama is a South American country, this song is not talking about that. Of course its important to mention that Panama is one of the most popular countries in South America
Brilliant. You love your instrument. Subscribed after watching Holy Wars (Megadeth cover) but have watched this 4 times now. Well done, that man. Keen to know your sound-proofing set up, though...?
Holy Cow! I'm a guitarist, but was sucked right into this awesome drum cover. Talk about high energy! You captured the essence of Alex (and took it up another 10 notches!) 💪
Wade Murph and Shannon Larkin are in the same club....................Drum Master. I'd love to see Wade cover "Straight Out Of line" that tom beat would be a fit with his showmanship!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please Wade cover that Godsmack song.............I'll pay you for it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PLEASE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fu%king kick as$ cover. This dude plays drums like Alex. Approaches it with an attitude like an attacking Grizzly !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hell yes !!!!!!!!!!!! I was thumping my own kit watching this dude jam !!!!!!!!!!!!
I see a younger Alex in his day. With the attitude, aggressive nature and playing ability. AVH was such an underrated drummer and this guy GETS IT. The tone, feel, viciously attacking the drums like Alex used to. He said his approach to playing was to beat the snot out of them like he was killing someone, and it just fucking worked. Incredible incredible drummer here. This songs beat is not an easy one, with so many nuances throughout the tempo and timing in small areas, and this guy nailed them.
To make drumming sound like Van Halen, the drums need to create the illusion that they are almost playing chords and notes identical to the guitar, which is that effect you managed to pull off on this cover of Panama. Well done👍
bro this is the best Panama drum cover I've ever seen
100% agree - he nailed it
100% agree as well.....nailed it! Tone as well was really great, feel spectacular!
This song has a timing not a lot of people seem to be able to feel
not bad,the drummer has anger issues i think,but still good.
Confirmed, this is the one. Drums tuned fugging perfectly for that unique "tommy" Alex snare.
Not only is this the most accurate Panama drum cover, it’s also the best.
How to be redundant 101
It's almost as if you wrote the drum parts for Alex Van Halen .

5.28 thousand subs in 3 years ,looks like not many people think the way you do
This is so on the money. You’ve got that AVH groove down which is no easy thing. Great work! 🤘
The tone is right, hes on time with the tempo, his drums if i close my eyes its a spitting replica sound of alexs its the best cover ive heard on youtube
*-REST IN PEACE 🕊.*

Legit looked like you were playing for a crowd and sounded and felt fucking perfect!!! W O W!!!
