Sean Kinney doesn’t get enough credit. Who the heck thinks of playing sixteenth notes on an open hihat in a more quiet type of verse? Nice playing man. I appreciate how it’s tight and not full of fills.
@@caustinolino3687 I think it’s just independence, kinda like how in a lot of Latin music you’ll hear a 16th note pattern on a cymbal played as 1 e and, 2 e and, 3 e and, 4 e and… subtracting the ah or 4th note in the pattern.
Dude thank you makes so much sense been playing this song over a year and could NOT figure this shit out. Bet I'll have it down in a month thanks to you, and I can actually enjoy this song again 😅
Thanks so much man. That really means a lot to me. Like Chad Smith said you can’t play loud and fast without playing soft and slow first. Sean had all that, a groove, a swing, kept it in the pocket, style and then some.
Thank you very much man. The trick is to play hi hats on all the 8th notes and then simply take the one note off the hi hat where you hit your mid tom in Tom groove.
Thanks man. The hats are easy once you figure out the pattern. Just straight 8th notes and remove the foot on the one note whenever you hit the mid tom. Thanks for digging it man I appreciate the support!!!! 🖤🥁✊🛢️🙏
Thanks so much for digging it. Be sure to subscribe, I am currently editing about 3 videos I just filmed but am hitting up the studio again in a week or so to do 3 more AIC songs off of Facelift. ;)
@@DRUMMERMIKE I also have mics, console, cubase 13 and the sound of my drums becomes so pure and physical. But I use the sound from the phone. Can't be bothered. I find it difficult to synchronize 3 cameras with 1 sound source. I tried once, it took me 4 hours to edit... my gf got so bored she fell asleep on the couch. But damn your videos look so professional. I think I'll have to talk to some cameraman people I know.
@@DRUMMERMIKE thanks to you Mike. Great skills, great taste for sound recording. A lot of accuracy in each note. These are the videos that can inspire a lot of drummers to work hard to bring to the people great music.
@@MrDottorzeta thanks so much for your kind words. You have no idea how much I appreciate that. I live to play drums. Just wanna inspire others to pick up the sticks. Everyone has rhythm. I try to hit all my covers note for note. Go al in or else why are you even doing it? 🙏
@@DRUMMERMIKE I’m a drummer too. A lot of stuff on the net...but in a few you can fell the passion for the music. Tons of great players but only great players, not MUSICIANS. It’s a pleasure to watch a musician trying to communicate something through the music, and you make it in the greatest way ever: spontaneously but with a great attention to the original version. Great job, very inspiring.
Except Them Bones I've never played any AIC song. And now you made me want to do a cover of this song too. I guess I should listen to more of their tracks. Great job, man!
Thanks NIRVANA Drum covers, scroll down my page to the first cover I did.. Smells Like Teen Spirit. I know RUclips is over saturated with that song but like all the other covers I do, I wanted to pay respect to one of my Favorite drummers, especially the ones that inspired me to pick up the sticks and even more so.. teach me. Ima check out your channel. I wanna do way more Nirvana covers than just that. Thanks for checking it out and be sure to subscribe to get all my latest updates
My 4 month old daughter has developed a favourite music video (this one) we couldn't get her to sleep without playing this for her. we have a request if that's okay! Rooster! Thanks so much! we watch every single night!
Just a brilliant cover man!!! You nailed it. One of my fave tunes from one of my fave albums, absolutely top shelf playing and production man. Greetings from Ireland!!
@@fallinginthed33p That is exactly what I aim for in all my covers. Check out the Bleed the Freak, We Die Young and Sea of Sorrow covers I did as well.
I loved the second fill 2xChorus. Dude every lick was precise and in the pocket. Very groovy. Timing seemed spot on. Mics captured perfectly. Tom's sound thunderous. Amazingly done like it should. I bet you sat in a few gigs with aic before. If not. They would totally call. Note for note. Banging!
Thanks so much for your kind words Thomas. Appreciate you checking out my videos. I recently posted three other AIC covers, subscribe and check em out. Real shame on what happened to BFB :(
Thanks so much John. I played straight 8th notes with my left foot. Then once I got comfortable with it, I removed my left foot only on the 8th note my left hand would hit on the toms. Once I figured out what Sean was doing it was easier to start with every 8th note on the foot and work backwards to remove em. Been playing my whole life and I am still learning. Check out the other AIC covers I put up here

Sean I definitely one of the most creative drummers. That intro to No Excuses gets me every time. This is a great drum cover. 🥁 Keep it up!
This is the best drum cover of "Would" on the RUclips. ✅
Thank you. I appreciate that
Rigth
One of the few people that plays the high hat work accurate to the song...great job
Thanks man. Wanna know a secret ? Play straight 8th notes on your hi hat foot and then remove every note when you hit your mid tom 😉
@@DRUMMERMIKEAny idea why the 8th notes would stop at the mid tom instead of just 8th notes? I never understood what this does musically.

damn man, that was the best would cover on youtube......
Thanks so much man, be sure to subscribe. I am currently workin on a few new AIC covers
totally agree with you brotha!!
Flaherty (flarity ? )
Great performance! This one also looks fun to play
@@ChavalBrasil I have played it 10,000 times in my life. It is a lot of fun to play
Powerful
Thanks
I'm late to the party. However went down a rabbit hole tonight. The only thing better than this is Kinney himself. Excellent.
Perfect Tom work. everyone else was way off. Awesome.
Thanks so much man. That really means a lot to me. Like Chad Smith said you can’t play loud and fast without playing soft and slow first. Sean had all that, a groove, a swing, kept it in the pocket, style and then some.
@@koalassuck6450 if only I had a bigger Tom and 2 floors….. used what I have and it worked
@@koalassuck6450 also a Vibraslap. I missed that opportunity
I'm trying to find your page shamed more. However, I type in DRUMMER Mike and I Portnoy from DreamTheater.
No, you are a great drummer! Accurate, clean and great tone!
Thank you so much man that means a lot
Your precision and energy is hypnotic. After a long day of work, watching you kill this favorite of my youth is rejuvenating. Thanks man!
Wow thanks Ross. I really appreciate your kind words. Check out my other AIC covers 🙏
This is the only cover that includes the odd hi-hat foot play at the beginning, before the lyrics kick in. This is perfect. Respect!
Thank you very much man. The trick is to play hi hats on all the 8th notes and then simply take the one note off the hi hat where you hit your mid tom in Tom groove.
100% accurate, no mistakes, timing, notes or otherwise.
Was redirected here from another cover and I'm not disappointed.
Thanks so much, that means a lot. new AIC cover dropping in a few minutes. check back and subscribe for updates
Dude! You’re great! 👍🏼. I love, Alice In Chains and you killed it on the drums

I love the late hit of the cymbal on this song, nice high hat work! Definitely an underrated drummer. Bet he had some stories.
Thanks man. The hats are easy once you figure out the pattern. Just straight 8th notes and remove the foot on the one note whenever you hit the mid tom. Thanks for digging it man I appreciate the support!!!! 🖤🥁✊🛢️🙏

Yeah! AIC is my favorite band. I've always thought Sean is an underappreciated musician. Awesome job, man!
I taught myself to play drums through AIC and nirvana. Sean’s been one of my favorite drummers and teachers since day 1
Bruuuhhh.... Really?! Why this masterpiece didn't viral tho... This Video must be get 1B views....
Thanks so much for one of the best comments. I really appreciate that, can you help it go viral by subscribing / sharing ? Thanks man
