one thing thats lacked from your covers recently is a really unique sound, but today YOUVE NAILED IT! your kit sounds amazing as as always a brilliant drum cover =)
Great cover! I think many cover songs might end up not that well, because people try to impress with their skills and fills and drum rolls etc. But your cover is really smooth and has some cool ideas how to play certain parts without pushing the drums in the spotlight too much.
dude, ricky has like a million veiws, yours only 22 thousand, wtf is with that?! i mean yeah he drums, but he's more a showman. your all about good sound and good music. thats why your my fave!
This dude is just beyond awesome at Drum Covers.. don't really like Lady Gaga but ever since this came out it's made me like it lol. Keep up the good work mate! :) Ben, do you reckon Mapex tornado for a starter kit any good? quality and money wise. I can get one from a local drum store for around 250-260
Yes! Ben this is amazing! I don't really listen to this genre of music often, but i think Lady Gaga is a really talented artist, you've done this ace song great justice, and as recordingsoftheflesh commented, that fill at 2:29 is ace! I've seen your awesome Muse covers aswell (my fav band) how about giving 'map of the problematique' a go? Keep up the good work!
Dear Ben, Outstanding job. I thought you added a lot to this song... especially with the tom kind of break down feel at the beginning and end and I like what you did with the bridge. Please don't take this the wrong way because you are a great drummer and you are better than me, but I think that your right hand on the high hat during the verse is a little stiff and monotone, but if you did that on purpose, then disregard this comment. Great job!
You should remember though.. loud symbol in a mix will ruin the whole thing. Its good to keep the cymbol low or atleast cut the little bit of high end.
@joaoa13portugal it's for views, people watch these covers because the songs are popular, and you can add your own spin on them because the drums are usually easy to play.
@joaoa13portugal ó rapaz ta mas é calado...deves pensar que as pessoas tocam o que qeres e parar alem de mais a ladygaga ja e um idolo pop e lá porque tu so gostes de ouvir rockada nao quer dizer que os outros estilos sao importantes....
this is really good but you just need some more creativity. it sounds almost exactly like the original. add some more fills here and there, don't be afraid! :)
This cover still hits, 10 years later
