IRON MAIDEN - For the Greater Good of God - Drum Cover

An epic from A Matter of Life and Death. I love Maiden's material from the 2000's on because I always approach them from a Dream Theater angle. There's so much room to do what you want. Some may not like that. That's OK!

Great cover! You are a very skilled drummer.
I think Nicko is just the greatest, all the technical difficulties and the way he puts it together is Amazing.
I Always thought "drummers are all the same, they just hit something with their sticks" but with nicko it's a masterpiece!

[@nansentapanes4114]

Thank you. Watched some of the videos, you made me study more.

[@joshsteffen]

+Ivan Petrov thanks for watching

[@wire-qu9ig]

I was listening to a cover with a complete band of good musicians completely unrelated to maiden...doobie brothers to be exact and they were so lifeless... And even though the musicians were good...they were dull...apples and oranges music.. but your musicianship is on level with real music. Enthusiastic and natural. Great playing and performance. A true performance. Top notch dude.

[@joshsteffen]

Thanks

[@dandreoli1973]

Seriously... Sub'd.
That was money. I got giddy and ran to get my wife and daughter to listen to the double bass transition at around 3:40.... some really great cymbal work towards the end, too.
Thanks, man. Totally inspirational.

[@joshsteffen]

Thanks a lot dude. I got tons of videos you should check out. 7th son turned out pretty cool too.

[@gustavolopez5026]

Muy bueno!
