    You should absolutely keep Relient K in your repertoire. I went back and listened to that portion 5 or 6 times before finishing the rest of the song. So accurate, yet subtle enough that it wasn't over-the-top. Well done.

    Reliant K. By far. I’ve listened to them since grade school, and hearing that little section lit me up like a candle. Couldn’t have wiped the smile off my face, even if I tried (or wanted) to. One of my favorite songs with paired with many of my favorite bands would’ve been a banger no matter what, but that little tidbit made it for me. Like so many people are saying, please PLEASE do some covers in their style. Would make my day (not that your videos don’t already lol)

      I think I had touchstone techniques in mind for about half of them going in, and the other half is basically ripping off drum parts from specific songs of the bands they are in while accommodating for the new song structure on top of it. A healthy mix of general style observations vs specific transposed grooves, basically. Great question!

    The only one I didn’t guess correctly was Twenty One Pilots. You’re amazing at everything you do so it’s hard to pick a favorite. They were all perfect but Relient K just hit a little more for me, it was so beautiful.

    This song slaps! I hope you end up releasing it on streaming platforms, I'm definitely going to be listening to it on repeat for the next week!
    Really enjoyed yellow card, Travis modern, and underoath! But I can hear each one of the bands and what you were doing and that's so neat! Reliant K and Killers were good additions!

    @m1chacha 2 года назад

    I find it kinda ironic that for the Relient K section you had Dave singing the backing vocals while in the original song Matt Thiessen of Relient K does the backing vocals (which I'm sure you already knew). Great video though, I was able to guess quite a few of these so you did it really well!
