Nightwish - Sleeping Sun (Drum Cover)

This is the mellow side of Nightwish. "Sleeping Sun" was written by Tuomas Holopainen and dedicated to the solar eclipse that arose on the European sky in 1999. The song can be found on the Oceanborn album. Tarja Turunen sounds absolutely amazing on this song.
I had not thought of playing this song as a cover but heard it in the car one day at a very loud volume level and thought, this is mellow but intense at the same time. So here it is... I hope you like this change up to the somber, soothing side of drum covers. Also, I had a reason to bust out the tambourine!
Great stuff that went into making this video:
Gretsch Renown Maple drums
DW Collector's snare
Tama Iron Cobra pedals
Paiste Cymbals
Sabian Paragon China
Promark sticks
Go Pro Hero Black 5

[@paulnehls4504]

@@TerryDrumCovers1951 I used the standard track from the album, not a drumless track. I did transcribe the song so I do “cover” every note
