He did NOT ruin the song. If you didn't know, a cover is their own take on the song. They do it THEIR way, hence COVER. This guy is incredible and I watch all his videos. Mr. Taylor here has talent and a lot of passion for what he is doing. Don't be rude for no reason. Enjoy a musician. I know I do. And thank you, Dylan, for sharing your beautiful work to us. At least I know I appreciate it. Don't let those who dislike themselves and put their hatred towards others bother you :)
This was published on june 28, 2013. I am watching this on 8/14 2015. My question is how, in the name of all drummer gods, does this only have 822,632 views? That is insanse. This cover is insane. We NEED more views. (On a side note I think I contributed at least 25,000 of those views. This cover is the best I have seen in a very long time. This beat out "Somebody That I Used To Know" and I STILL watch that as much as I can.)
Your videos are unreal. One of the most talented drummers I've seen. However you do nothing for other drummers self esteem... I feel well below average now 😂
i came here from a Cobus video. never heard of you so i was like "eh worth checking out." needless to say.....new favorite....umm...yeah. im in awe. that was freaking intense!
wow what energy! There are drummers who mindlessly slam the drums, drummers who are overly refined and finessed, and then you who really uses that kit as an instrument to convey pure energy with clever, appropriate beats. Love it!
Hey Dylan, I'm very pleased to hear this kind of New Era drumming, like I'm calling it actually. Since I began listening to this kind of playing, I feel much more excitement while playing myself. I've studied at a conservatory near my hometown, Jazz.. but I prefer this so much more. Very powerfull, nice/rough edge and tight as hell. I'd like to upload some vids as wel, but I haven't got any equipment for that, unfortunately.. Keep up the good work mate! Cheers
Weather this was live one take all the ay through or not it doesn't matter. This guy is really talented. Saying he isn't because it might be pieced together (which Idt it is) is like saying any artist to record ever isn't good because they didn't do it all perfect in the first take. Quit being ignorant and appreciate this guys talent he is sharing with us. Great video Dylan Taylor.
I love your covers not just because of the awesomeness of your drumming, but i enjoy the fact that you look like your trying to literally KILL the drums! 😄
One of the best covers ive seen. That was more than drumming that was insanely clever and to keep all those fills in time... inspirational makes me want to stop working so hard and get back on my kit!!
Amazing bro!!! Love your drum remixes!!!! For all those who say that it is "overplayed" thats the idea, thats a drum remix... overplaying a song so that it becomes cooler ;) if you don't like it overplaying just don't watch drum remixes, and let enjoy people who like them
It is a fierce competition between Dylan and Luke. BUT, I think that Dylan rules in his genre of music and Luke rules in his. Two different distinct styles and both equally great. Props to Dylan. This cover was bad ass!!
I'm not a drummer at all but someone explain this to me. Is this guy extremely talented or can this type of skill be learned overtime? This is fucking incredible. If I can do this shit in a few yrs I'm buying a drum kit tonight.
+Nikki K hey Nikki k! Well, if ya noticed, my first comment was a compliment :) I got nothing to hate on, but sorry you felt compelled to comment on what I said. I apologize if it upset you!
Have you seen his video "somebody that i used to know dubstep something something something" Its pretty amazing. I agree he may not be the best (my personal favorite is Travis from Blink 182) but Dylan is definently up there amongst the best.
first off...hahahah. my remark is callous. did you even read my commend bud? "some good grooves". I basically said only good things and you come up with opinions that my commend is "bitter" and "callous". step one...read for content as opposed to skimming through...step two...take a chill pill, relax, and simmer down...step three...it isn't about better in this case. I made a comment about his interpretation. Unless time, rhythm, and other musical elements are off, there isn't really a "better". anything else I missed?
WOW ! that's what drummers do.... they carry the beat ; Crazy awesome Dylan ! just don't die before you're old ... drink lots of water not beer drummers of your calibre serve a purpose !
Just going mental for 5 straight minutes. I for one know how much energy it takes to do this and how hard it is to keep all your chops tight at the same time. Loved it man.
Dylan, you're sick man...never stop. I haven't jammed on my drums in years but you make me want to get back into it. Thanks for the inspiration and I look forward to all your future videos!
Lawrence, sem, ItsJustSharma, its clearly that Dylan has more experience in drumming than CooperDrummer, just watch his plays and compare it to Dylan. Hell no? Well Cooper sucks, its just he's famous
It's too much for me. Too much going on. It takes away from the song. Almost conflicting. It's good drumming. Really good drumming Obviously, but man It takes to much away from the music. It's too complex for this song. I'm my opinion. Still Kudos! lol
indeed it's too much for the song, that would be chaos if the drummer played that live lol. But for a drum cover/remix, it's perfect, all the fills, patterns played, his originality is just amazing and entertaining! If he had stayed true to the song, wouldn't be interesting as and I will just go listen to the original version. Love the fact it's a simple beat and he bring his originality into it which makes it more complex and still sounds good and not overwhelming.
as far as i know a technical drummer that can incorperate more into one space and sound clean at the same time is alot better than one that solely sticks to the grid.
So was just in the mood for some good drum covers and I stumbled across Dylan and I know this is older but wow. you made a good song amazing. I could fall asleep to him play every night
I just watched this for the first time today and wow insane. now Dylan were you in the drum line in marching band because this style has a similar sound as that.
You can definitely tell these are live. Look in the shots, you can SEE cameramen recording live. Plus it's SOOOOOOOO hard to re-record video over the audio to get it perfect. It's easier to do it in one shot live. Don't be too quick to hate. Awesome job, Dylan. Keep em coming.
Let the haters hate man, keep being you and doing your thing! Lot's more people love what you do compared to the haters! Just remember most people that love it don't seem to respond like a good car...you never see all the good experiences just the bad. I think people just get jelly and want to hate and drag people down cause they wish they had what you do and thats some mad skillz!
busy it may be... but i think this one shows some real effort. probably the one that has showed off his skills best so far. hes not drumming in the band. just having fun and writing for himself. pretty sick one dude.
He did NOT ruin the song. If you didn't know, a cover is their own take on the song. They do it THEIR way, hence COVER. This guy is incredible and I watch all his videos.

what really impresses me here is the ability to play that fast with such consistency for 4+ minutes, really awesome stuff.
2:13 oh my lord...... I died
This video just made me realize how much I suck at life.
Marcos Diaz nah it just shows you havent work hard
Your videos are unreal. One of the most talented drummers I've seen. However you do nothing for other drummers self esteem... I feel well below average now 😂
If it helps, he doesn't make it look easy..
The best in the world ! My respect, from Argentina!
Legal*)//†//
for me the part startnig at 3:08 is mindblowing, great vid
Unreal Drummer. That Raw Power and technical skill makes him one of the best drummers around.
Had to watch the video twice. First time I was too focused on that amazing sleeve tattoo.
Anyone here in 2023? This cover still slams!
i came here from a Cobus video. never heard of you so i was like "eh worth checking out." needless to say.....new favorite....umm...yeah. im in awe. that was freaking intense!
wow what energy! There are drummers who mindlessly slam the drums, drummers who are overly refined and finessed, and then you who really uses that kit as an instrument to convey pure energy with clever, appropriate beats. Love it!
That was awsom performannce!! You are very talented drummer,thanks for that awsome performance man,
Probably the most talented and amazing drummer I have ever seen!!

You are the definition of PASSIONATE man!!! Keep Up The Good. Work!
Personally I think Matt McGuire is far more passionate than anyone.
+Space Duck my thoughts exactly man! or woman! idk 😂
+Geevinda Samaraweera yeah. I'm a dude on the lowkey.
honestly not been the biggest fan of your previous covers, but this is definitely one of the best drum covers ive heard of any song period
it was very good, even the beginning, the end was great, you are very strong technically and speed, INCREDIBLE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
who wouldn't like this, this cover is pure perfection
God has really blessed you with this tallent Dylan! I hope everyday you remember to thank him for it. Rock on brother!
It's called practice....
I love your covers not just because of the awesomeness of your drumming, but i enjoy the fact that you look like your trying to literally KILL the drums! 😄
3:08 : only single strokes between foot and hand?
3:34 : PLEASE do a lesson!!
Awesome cover! Thank you for that!
the one handed groove blew me off. awesome
do awolnation sail drum cover
One of the best covers ive seen. That was more than drumming that was insanely clever and to keep all those fills in time... inspirational makes me want to stop working so hard and get back on my kit!!
I literally had to watch 2:13 like 10 times
Always looking for a hype drum cover...still my #1 fav
Awesome
you are the king of showmanship, i love it.
Wooooow...that is wicked awesome!!! Makes it look so effortless..thanks +Johnny Dunlop epic..:O
I know he must of wanted to pass out from exhaustion...he was working it..lol :O thanks for sharing this Johnny Dunlop

2:14 Dude you fucking nailed that fill.
That's your song, because how you're doing with the toms without breaks is just awesome!
2:14 what? awesome cover dude
I know right!!! I wonder if that's like a special trick and if it has a name
+Trestin Whittington Just using his double kickers along with his toms, most of the work you can't see as he is doing it with his feet :)
+Vulture Step ok thanks i saw again and i could see it
It is called "Sorcery, drum sorcery."
I'm not a drummer at all but someone explain this to me. Is this guy extremely talented or can this type of skill be learned overtime? This is fucking incredible. If I can do this shit in a few yrs I'm buying a drum kit tonight.
lmao some good grooves and a couple interesting interpretations, but I gotta say it cracks me up seeing so many people call you the best drummer haha
Lay off the hatorade
+Nikki K hey Nikki k! Well, if ya noticed, my first comment was a compliment :) I got nothing to hate on, but sorry you felt compelled to comment on what I said. I apologize if it upset you!
+Nikki K do you play music as well?
Have you seen his video "somebody that i used to know dubstep something something something" Its pretty amazing. I agree he may not be the best (my personal favorite is Travis from Blink 182) but Dylan is definently up there amongst the best.

Like if he's your inspiration
God has blessed this man’s hands. Let’s go.
Where did you buy your stamina!?!?! I want some!
evanz o regan preworkout lol
one of the best drummers out there!!!
2:14
I can do that.. It's really not difficult at all.. But damn, it sure does look cool as hell to watch someone implement it... Haha
This IS the best drum cover on youtube.
min. 2:15 wtf!!! amazing.... :D
Just crazy isn't it:D
um...it is just triplets with down beats in the right hand and double bass pedal on the second and third 32nd note lol
+Jonah AH 😜😁😃
Not that it isn't good playing, haha but always fun to hear people who have no clue what they are listening to react
+Jonah AH Yeah, I agree
Just going mental for 5 straight minutes. I for one know how much energy it takes to do this and how hard it is to keep all your chops tight at the same time. Loved it man.
I can't believe cooperdrummer uses a 7 piece setup and gazillion cymbals meanwhile dylan is fucking the shit outta his 4 piece 4 cymbal setup 0_0
you are the best drummer dylan taylor...saluteeeee👍👍👍
I don't understand this hype about Cooperdrummer, Dylan is much better!
WOW... I tink you are the best drummer Ive heard.. I digg your style..man... pure awesomeness
ахуенен!
Dylan, you're sick man...never stop. I haven't jammed on my drums in years but you make me want to get back into it. Thanks for the inspiration and I look forward to all your future videos!
I think you played better then Casey cooper
James Go never dude
Hell no
No bro 😂
Lawrence, sem, ItsJustSharma, its clearly that Dylan has more experience in drumming than CooperDrummer, just watch his plays and compare it to Dylan. Hell no? Well Cooper sucks, its just he's famous
Well casey plays follow the suitable melody of any songs.. That's why he's respected by others. Casey can do more than that tho
Just one word, Incredible!!!
It's too much for me. Too much going on. It takes away from the song. Almost conflicting. It's good drumming. Really good drumming Obviously, but man It takes to much away from the music. It's too complex for this song. I'm my opinion. Still Kudos! lol
If we wanted to listen to the song, we would go listen to the song -- we're here to listen to Dylan Taylor, dude.
Like Delton said, I think it's too much for this song. This is boring. Smb I used to know was way more impressive and sounded much more better
"DRUM REMIX"
:3
indeed it's too much for the song, that would be chaos if the drummer played that live lol. But for a drum cover/remix, it's perfect, all the fills, patterns played, his originality is just amazing and entertaining! If he had stayed true to the song, wouldn't be interesting as and I will just go listen to the original version.
Love the fact it's a simple beat and he bring his originality into it which makes it more complex and still sounds good and not overwhelming.
as far as i know a technical drummer that can incorperate more into one space and sound clean at the same time is alot better than one that solely sticks to the grid.
he is not better than cooper
Fetty Wap jr he is way better than Cooper
That one kid drummer To me Cooper did a way better job at this cover than Dylan but this cover is amazing no doubt
That one kid drummer you are so correct, this guy devours Cooper drummer and many other drummers
No he is not #coop3r4lyfe
10 people wish they could be this epic on the drums.
This drum cover has slayed all others
Ive seen 100 times and still doesnt get old!!!
Dylan Taylor is an amazing drummer!
I can't imagine anyone playing is any better in any better way that you did. Nothing short of amazing, sir.
i can literally feel the song on the drumming, daaaaaaaaaaaamn
I never thought I would like a drum cover or cover artist....
this is harder then running a marathon... awesome playing!
Great intro composition. From then on it's BEAST MODE!
TOP DRUMMERS! Dylan Taylor, Sean Tighe, Cobus!!!!!!!
That silent scream at the end killed it
So was just in the mood for some good drum covers and I stumbled across Dylan and I know this is older but wow. you made a good song amazing. I could fall asleep to him play every night
I was never really a big fan of you before, sir, but i must say....after watching this video, you earned yourself another subscriber.
I've just replayed this to 13 of my mates one after the other and I still rock out... Sick work!
I just watched this for the first time today and wow insane. now Dylan were you in the drum line in marching band because this style has a similar sound as that.
probably the best drummer ive ever heard. loving every one of your covers
Strong in the beats, strong in the sheets
Those guys all ARE professional drummers!
As a fan of watching drum covers, this has to be in my top 3 on RUclips.
Damn!!!!! This man murdered that track lmao!!! I mean talent is beyond an understatement for this dude! Fresh!
Bro, your work is literally amazing.
You can definitely tell these are live. Look in the shots, you can SEE cameramen recording live. Plus it's SOOOOOOOO hard to re-record video over the audio to get it perfect. It's easier to do it in one shot live.
Don't be too quick to hate.
Awesome job, Dylan. Keep em coming.
one of the best musics atm
Hands down the best drum cover I have seen for this song... And really any period man. Good work.
Let the haters hate man, keep being you and doing your thing! Lot's more people love what you do compared to the haters! Just remember most people that love it don't seem to respond like a good car...you never see all the good experiences just the bad. I think people just get jelly and want to hate and drag people down cause they wish they had what you do and thats some mad skillz!
True talent
his fills are amazing!
busy it may be... but i think this one shows some real effort. probably the one that has showed off his skills best so far. hes not drumming in the band. just having fun and writing for himself.
pretty sick one dude.
best cover drum ever!epic
I'm speechless that was legendary!!!! Macklemore should endorse you souly for the passion you bring
Thank you so much for these 5 minutes Dylan
can not get enough your stickings are amazing
Anyone else realize he's using a snare drum the size of a marching snare? Gotta love it :) I miss using one
Just sick... I agree with your assessment, one of your best yet.
Your speed and accuracy are amazing. And I like the way you swing the sticks like baseball bats!
2022 and I keep coming back to this whenever I need the energy to start my day.
Watched this soo many times stilll amazed at how awesome you are.
usually I think these big production drum cover videos are arrogant as hell, but I have to say your chops make up for it. so good its stupid.
love the double bass fill at end.
