Hi. As a drummer, this tune has frustrated me ever since I first heard it around 1969, but I have to say this cover of it is simply THE best I ever heard. Kudos to you.
Regards Mark in the UK
Thank you very much man, It's much appreciated!! It's been quite challenging indeed, but I tried my best!
@Emmett Brock STFU bot
Try the base in, "I'm gonna biglarise you baby" captain beefheart
You nailed it! The kit sounds fantastic and the snare sounds spot on. Right in time on the stop and go parts to boot. Great cover!
Bobby Cain thank you so much man! I really appreciate it!! I tried my best 😉
21st Century Schizoid man is a very technical and demanding song.
You need true talent to nail it with such precision.
Kudos, great work.
4:10 from this moment everybody can tell we are watching a master cover instead of a good one
HAHAHA Thank you so much man!!
Marco, I have watched a lot of drum covers for 21st Century Schizoid, and I have to commend you, this is best. You replicate Michael Giles play perfectly. I saw one guy just beat away, not even trying to use Giles jazz chops. Cudos!
Thank you so much! This means a lot!!
I'm speechless. The drumming is so beyond superb and that snare sound is beyond tasty. Awesome brother.
Thank you so much man! It means a lot for me!! Thank you!!!!
Nicely done! Michael Giles is my favorite drummer, tons of finesse and a crisp tone that cuts well through a dense mix. Very difficult to imitate, though. Some of those time changes look really hard.
Thanks a lot man! It's been challenging indeed! Not easy at all, it took me a while!
Who are those 7 dislikers.
Let’s find them and tell them they pressed the wrong button.
hahaha thanks man, I appreciate it!
people who think that Phil Collins drum fill is the bees knees I think
Great job. At first I cringed at the thought of a drummer taking chances with Giles's wonderful drumming, but it seems you were more than adequate in outliving the ordeal. Kudos galore.
It means a lot, man!! Thank you
I am sure Michael Giles is proud of you
Hopefully!! Thank you so much!!
Getting into King Crimson now, when I heard this song I knew I had to look for a drum cover straight away. Nice work man, the kit sounds fantastic!
Matheus T.C. Thank you so much man 🙂
Wow, what a cover! The tom fills at 4:33, 4:36 and 4:40 were so accurate. Did you listen to the isolated drum track? If not you have insane hearing abilities.
Thanks a lot, man, it's much appreciated! I did listen to the isolated drum track indeed!
Having seen King Crimson Many Times, including The 1969 Hyde Park Gig...I can Safely Say Marco , You Nailed it.
Thank you so much David, it means a lot!!
Trying to learn the song and this video is super helpful
Oh, you too?
When your drum teacher says “Here learn how to speak Arabic on the drums”
🤣🤣🤣
Insane. My only problem is; why do you only have 85 subscribers? You need a whole lot more.
Thanks a lot, man! I appreciate it!
I love it, seriously how has this still got so little views
That sounds spot on, good job
Thank you so much :)
Brufford should take a look at this cover
He better not 😂 there’s still plenty of mistakes and things I could have done better! 🙈
My Friend, to say i watch a lot of RUclips would be the most over the top understatement I can express . . . UNLESS I dare comment that this video is THE MOST BADASS performance I believe I've ever seen. I've known this song for fifty years to be one of the most important songs EVER produced. AND YOU JUST ROCKED IT(like ONLY Michael Giles and YOU can) . . . UNEQUALED. NOTHING I've got I really need and YET . . . Another Treasure!
Blessings,
Ted Furlo
Thank you so much man!! It means a lot, much appreciated!! I tried my best ;)
Holy shit that was incredible! This song is so damn difficult. How long did it take you to learn it?
Thank you man! It took me almost 2 weeks. I started learning every section separately, and then I put them together. The most challenging part has been reacting to the tempo changes in the song, as they obviously didn't record it using a metronome, so I had to learn where they push and where drag as well! ;)
This is pretty much perfect, and I really like the little things you threw in there just for a little extra flair. The snare sounds perfect. You played it perfectly. Maybe the Tom’s could’ve been mixed slightly louder but that’s about it. Kit sounds great tho, fantastic job!
Thank you so much!! It's really appreciated!!
I think that Fletcher would consider NOT throwing a chair on your general direction! Awesome cover btw.
The like to dislike ratio is simply amazing
This is really impressive… I saw one of King Crimson’s first live shows at the Marquee Club in London with Mike Giles on drums, wearing a suit and tie. Great job on the cover.
@@kelvynification oh man that must have been amazing!! Very jealous!!! Thanks a lot, really appreciated
Great video quality? check
Great sound quality? check
Channeling the inner Robert Fripp to be as expressionless as possible? check
Java Boy 😂😂😂
Man, I'm an upcoming drummer and I really hope one day I can play this piece like you do, you're such a great inspiration. Kudos from Colombia!
@@runikx9294 oh man, you’re too kind!! Thanks a lot, really appreciated!! Keep working hard, studying and listening to a lot of music and you’ll get there I’m sure 😉
What an amazing execution! The best cover I've seen on YT so far.
That is an outrageous song to cover. The playing and kit is up to the task. Impressive, well done sir.
I am really enjoying those cymbals, had to look them up.
Oh thank you so much, man! Very appreciated! Yeah, it wasn't an easy task, I tried my best! Ufip cymbals are great, check them out ;)
Watching this cover shows exactly why Robert Fripp holds Michael Giles is such esteem. This is brilliant stuff.
Thanks a lot man! Very appreciated
Arguably one of the best drum covers I've ever watched. Everything sounds stunning. You have talent, brother.
Thank you so much man, means a lot!!
so cool actually seeing someone play this
Absolutely amazing! Got tons of goosebumps.
Drummers, on a scale of 1 to 10 how hard is it to play this song?
Ah thanks a lot man!! It’s much appreciated! I’m glad you liked it!!
Better than the original which I’ve always thought sounded off. Not sure but Giles sounds like either he’s dragging/rushing or the rest of the band is. But this song is hard for me to listen to because of it
Oh wow!! Thanks a lot!! It’s much appreciated!! I get what you mean, they were not recording using a metronome at that time. But I think it’s the beauty of it, they were following their instinct and feelings and I think it sounds a lot more alive and true than playing to a metronome!
U need more subs why do u have a small amount of subs 😔 (sick content bro!)
Thanks man! Why would you need subs?
@@marcoferraresi1 so more people can watch you’re masterpiece!
saludos desde Argentina Marco!!!! perfecta interpretacion y hermoso sonido fuerte abrazo!!!
Thank you so much, much appreciated!!
Insane
Thanks man 😉
No problem man you are a fucking legend. Listened to this atleast a hundred times
Nailed it man! Amazing cover. Do you have the drum transcription?
Thank you so much! Unfortunately, I don't. I am not playing exactly what he played, some bits are as close as the original as I could, but some others are not.
Hey dude aren’t the fills 5:20 onwards like a double bass thing? Not the usual snare Tom fills?
Hey man! Yes, you're right! But I didn't want to copy exactly what was on the record, I wanted to give my interpretation of the song. There are other fills which I did that are not on the record or different.
@@marcoferraresi1 sick man besides that part I couldn’t make the difference, spot on cover 👍🏻
@@srujanaithal5001 Thank you so much man, I appreciate it! I tried to play in his style even if I was playing my own ideas!!
Drummer for 5 years now 🙋hopefully I can reach this level at some point but…wow…
Oh thanks a lot! Appreciate it! Keep working hard and studying daily and I can guarantee you’ll be even better than myself 😉
Wow...this is absolutely fantastic, you killed it seriously, this is the best cover that I've seen ever. holy shit
Oh thanks man!! Too kind! It’s much appreciated!
As good as the original. Well done. That must have taken a lot of work. Ring fripp see if he’ll give you a job !!!
Thank you very much!! I appreciated this!!
Magnificent cover, the hard work it must've taken you to achieve this level of greatness is beyond me
Thanks a lot man! Very appreciated! And yes, I studied it for 2-3 months almost daily to improve it. Still not 100% happy with the result as there are still a few mistakes and things I could have done way better, but this one sounds decent at least ;)
Yeah so this is amazing. I'm inspired to pick up trying to master it again. took a long break out of frustration.
I understand the frustration! I went through it too, but take it slowly man! section by section. there's no rush to play the whole thing! It will take time and practice ;)
Nice 50th birthday gift to this piece. :-)
Michael Giles was so f*cking great in KC. You did total justice to his great legacy, congratulations and thank you.
Oh that's too kind! Thank you so much, it's very appreciated!
Finally, a honor cover of KC 21th Century...
Such good see u with breaking up the drums...
Thanks a lot man, it's much appreciated!
hello, very good video, congratulations! How do you do so that the video is not blocked due to copyright ... if you can help me?
It's been blocked indeed, in some regions! :(
Masterful cover. As a huge Michael Giles fan, I thank you for allowing me the opportunity to see his genius through you.
Thanks man, this means a lot!! Something is a little bit different from the original version, but I tried to keep the same vibe, if you see what I mean ;)
I believe that King Crimson as a band is a school for a musician that wants to get into a progressive rock realm ..(my personal opinion) and Mr. Ferraresi is already graduated, congratulations!!
Oh thank you so much!! I'm flattered!! I really appreciate it!
Hey did you slow down the video for the part with the hits so as to be on time? I watched this a few times and was wondering how you nailed those wierd timed hits and noticed something, am i wrong?
Hi Andres! No, I didn't slow it down. You might find it weird because that part is actually in 4/4
Congratulations! You climbed the mountain. Definitely black attire for this one. Superb cover: every note and nuance.
From this to "I Talk to The Wind". How is that for a musical turnaround?????
Thanks!! it means a lot!!
King -on......wait what just-pen? IT HAPPEN..
Where can I find a good chart for this song?
I don't know if there's any chart on the internet. I didn't use any chart for this song
Probably the greatest drum accompaniment ever. Even Bernard Purdie/Keith Carlock would struggle with this! I love it to bits and always have. Well done for nailing it so perfectly.
Thanks a lot man!! Appreciate it!!
Awesome cover, man! Probably the best one I’ve seen on RUclips
TheQuickSlice thank you so much, I really appreciate that ❤️
So damn underrated, the raw talent this must've taken is insane
The most I'd ever be able to do is sing along, but actually playing it is just insane.
Edit: I actually just started listening thinking it was the genuine song, I legit forgot I was watching someone play haha
Outstanding work Marco. Superb playing, and drim tones. Have you had a go at Court of the Crimson King? That contains some of the best and baddest drum fills ever.
Thanks a lot James, much appreciated! And no, I haven’t had the chance to have a go at it yet, but I’ll surely look into it after your suggestion! 😉
@@marcoferraresi1 Id love to see you have a go! Actually I think that 21st is technically harder. Its faster and more complex and jazzier. But you nailed it. Court is fairly straightforward 4/4 most of the time except for these total mad fills between each chorus half. Ive tried it in the past and it just sounded like a toddler had kicked my kit downstarirs :/
@@JamesLoudon haha I’m sure you actually sound better than you think 😉 you just need to keep practicing and take it bit by bit, very slowly! Once you’ve studied all the difficult bits on their, then you can put everything together and you have the full song 😉
This song changed my life, and seeing you perform it like this is a dream come true. We couldn't see Giles do it, but you have allowed us something otherwise impossible. Congrats and thank you!!!
Oh wow! Thanks a lot! I'm speechless! I hope I deserve such a comment! Thank you so much!
Is just awsome and the kit Is brutal wich Drums do you use in this cover
Thank you ! This is a Gretsch drum kit ;)
dude this is spot on, massive kudos
Thanks, man!!! It means a lot!!
Still the best! I don't think someone will make a better one anymore lol
Haha thanks man, too kind! But I'm sure eventually we'll get a better one for sure. There's a lot of amazing drummers out there who I'm sure can play a lot better than myself, but maybe they don't post videos so we don't get to see them ;)
Fucking impressive. This song has got to have the weirdest timing in terms of fills I've ever head in a song and I love it for it.
Thanks a lot man!! Yeah it was challenging to match the original tempo and all its changes!!
Mike is a BEAST...You did a great job with a MAJOR prog song!
Thanks a lot man, very appreciated!!
seeing this drum cover was really a turning point for me, its been 4 years since i watched this video and im still amazed at this song. I became a drummer for some friends in my highschool but when i watched this i realised just how technical and impressive the drums could be and it has driven me to push myself further and try to get as best as i possibly could. Thank you this video has been very influential to me.
I’m literally speechless!! Thank you for your kind words and for sharing this with the world! It’s amazing knowing I could positively influence you that way, I would have never expected that! But that’s the beauty of music, I guess. It’s a constant and never ending exchange of feelings and ideas. Every musician has something to share with other musician or with people in general. Keep studying and loving music, and let us know once you have posted your personal cover of this amazing tune and we will come to watch it and support you!
Giles drumming in this makes this track. It's jazz. You got it.
Thanks a lot, appreciate it!
Nice cover bro, I am your 100th subscriber! GOOD WORK MY GUY
The_drummer_jacob Thanks man, appreciate it!
Damn dude that was dope.
Thank you so much, mate ;)
You have the skill of a brain surgeon. Flawless.
That’s too kind, I wish I had! 😂 but thanks a lot, it’s much appreciated!!
You won't find a better cover cuz this is spot on
Ah thank you so much, man! Appreciate it
Man, imagine the pressure to not mess up in the final minute. Outstanding job!
Yes, a lot of pressure man!! Thank you so much, I appreciate it!!
I'm not usually a fan of the snare drum but yours sounds good to me.
Thank you very much, I appreciate it 😉
This is one of those compositions that's like Drumkit-Potential 101 for students of 20th Century drumming along with Max Roach, Terry Bozzio, Ginger Baker, Kieth Moon, Karl Palmer, Bill Buford, Neil Peart, thatbsessin guy from Stax records and the cat from James Brown's band...plenty of good drummers
@@Cracktaculus Sorry i don't understand what you mean.
@@Cracktaculus don't forget the octopus from tool!
ı am still watching man this is awesome
WOW WOW WOW, this is the most amazing cover of this song ever, I bought this album when it first came out and fell in love with this drum part, lol you have blown my mind with all the talent you have for sure played for the video, I am a drummer for 56 years and still can't play this song, so you are for sure a hero to me. I have played with some great people and maybe could have been doing it more if I could have played this song like you did. Thanks a huge ton for making this video.
Hi Barry! Thank you for all your kind words! They are much appreciated and they mean a lot to me! Thank you very much

Great Job hands down man your kit sounds great what brand kit is it ? and what series Ufips? they sound great
Thanks a lot! The kit is a Gretsch drum kit and cymbals are mainly Brilliant Series ;)
Thank you as well im thinking thats a high end Gretsch kit what series if you dont mind me asking ?
Why is there a bit missing at the end?
Sheeesh this is a GREAT cover
Nice work!!
oh thank you so much!! It's much appreciated!!
Отлёт башки! Точность, звук, энергия - невероятно круто🔥🔥
Al fin, un cover similar al original...
Felicitaciones.
Thanks a lot man, appreciate it!
Exceptional! Could you perhaps post the tabs (if you have written anything down and you don't go by ear that is)
This video has stood for a year and it still has single digit dislikes.
That shows how good this cover is.
Thank you so much, it's much appreciated!
I would rate Michael Giles as one of my all time favorite drummers and i think your rendition would make him proud. Awesome!!
Oh thank you so much!! Very kind!! Thanks man!!
Wonder how long it took him to gloss it like this ?
@@raleighsmalls4653 just a couple of weeks really 😃
do you have any tips for learning the bit at 4:10 ? its very frustrating to me and i cant figure it out :(
Hi Tom!! My suggestion is to look for the isolated drum track (here's one for example: ruclips.net/video/yPfi_876VR4/видео.html), slow it down, and transcribe it ;) But I am going to give you another little hint that will help you to understand that part even better: although the time signature of what comes before is 12/8, from 4:10 it changes to a 4/4, at approx 139bpm (they didn't use a metronome to record it, so if you use it it's not going to work! Clap the 4 beats with your hands and it will work :) ). Let me know how you get along with it! If you want you can even email me your transcription (marco.ferraresi94@gmail.com) or a first draft of it, so I can have a look and see if it's correct, and send you mine! Have fun :)
@@marcoferraresi1 thanks a lot I’ve been working on what you said, playing along with the rest of my band made it a lot easier to understand for me, we will be playing it live in a few weeks so wish me luck :)
Was a jam recently and the sax player started noodling around with this song and I attempted to play it from memory... We both started laughing! You sir did a tremendous job of this classic song 👍👍🥁🤘
Thank you so much, man! It's very appreciated!!
Grande cover complimenti!! Posso chiederti dove hai trovato la traccia senza batteria?
Grazie mille! Ora non ricordo di preciso dove avevo trovato la traccia, ma era su internet! fai un po di ricerche e vedrai che la trovi! ;)
This is a great drum cover, wouldn't you agree
John Pierre Ponalreff?
oh he think he fancy for adding them custom fills for fun, I love it lol. Dude mastered the drums.
this is the sexiest sounding drum kit ive ever heard
Hahahaha thanks man, appreciate it!
Today, I watched a dragon play the drums
Thanks man!! It's much appreciated
You deserve more subs dude, this song is definitely not easy to play, excellent job 🤌🏽
Caspita! Davvero molto molto bravo. E' un pezzo che ho suonato spesso ma devo dire mai con questa pulizia e precisione. Ottimo lavoro.
Grazie mille, davvero!!

Could you do a tutorial video on how to play this?
I might do, actually ;)
such a underrated song
Awesome. I think that's the best KC drum cover I've seen yet!
randy stone thanks a lot man!!
I dont know anything about drums but gotta say, this cover sounds crispy
Hard rock 🖤 🤘
Ciao Marco complimenti per la tua splendida performance, mi potresti indicare dove trovare la versione drumless di questa song? Grazie mille
Ciao Yuri!! Grazie mille! Non mi ricordo più dove la trovai, ahimè! Sono passati un bel po di anni! Prova a guardare bene su internet, dovresti riuscire a trovarla!
@@marcoferraresi1 sono riuscito a trovarla in rete. Grazie mille e buona musica
