    This is the ONLY drum cover that is almost 100% accurate to the original. You've got a couple little snare flutters added in but otherwise it's identical, most others come nowhere near! Most people forget to double the hi-hat time during the chorus, they forget all about it. Or they play the hi-hat and neglect the cymbals. You nailed that part perfectly!

    • @Oliver-jz1en

    just fucking impeccable! so much of the song shaped from the drums, this is why 90% of rock songs don't exist on the level of Nirvana, QOTSA or Foo, Dave is just a genius drummer and your covers are a testament to how extraordinary it is to find such expressive and creatively ingenius players with the technical focus to nail it so on point.

    • @vivalasagne3726
      @vivalasagne3726 10 лет назад +2

      Colm Dowling Haha! I'd wondered that from the sweat before you'd even started playing. There's 2 other drummers, one called Gerardo Saca who covered a live version of the song and a guy called Xevifoo who do the other best covers in my opinion. I've got a bit of a hard on for Xevifoo's cover tbh, it's quite embarrassing/cringeworthy on my part but it's a phenomenal cover.
      Bit of trivia for song for the dead you might appreciate btw. Dave Grohl used the drum track for the song Slip It In by Black Flag for the main riff of song for the dead. Maybe call it a homage or something I guess!
