This video was made from 1 single take. I did another take before this one, but I made many mistakes.
All of my other videos over the years feature extensive take-swapping and editing (time correction). I have decided that I'd rather post more honest covers, and encourage my listeners and viewers to hear what is actually being played.
The backing track to this video is made from the original stems that were made at the time of making the album.

I cannot express enough how happy I am that you have healed and returned back to Monuments. You are a machine mate.
You need to learn how to use proper punctuation.
@@looksirdroids9134 fuck off the situation is too important for punctuation
@@looksirdroids9134 go to hell
@@looksirdroids9134what are you on about? his punctuation is fine lol
@@looksirdroids9134 You need to learn how to not act like a dickhead.
Returning to comment section after 2 years. Monuments will NEVER be the same without You. THIS is the piece I fell in love with Monuments. Salut, man. Be strong, be healthy and be HAPPY. What a ride it was... Salut, my brother.
These honest unedited covers are gold. I wish more drummers do them this way.
This guy's playing has always been so tasteful. Love it
2:35 - juicy muted crash
I liteally said WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!?! I was definitely not expecting that
@@ZeroCartin Really unexpected )))
Couldn't be happier you're back in Monuments. You do more interesting shit in 10 sec than most drummers do in a whole 4min song.
Amazing stuff, man. Loving the AC/DC influence.
hahahahahahahahha
xxxxxxxxxxD
This is a high level drummer joke 10/10
Bigger calf muscles than the rock
in all of the Nail the Mix sessions I've done (about 6 or 7), your drum tracks in this song were the best sounding with the least effort
You're incredible. But most of all, I LOVE your creativity on the drumset, you're so smooth on playing your fills and you have that ability to stay minimalist when you have to but you also have that musical taste to do those spicy things at the right time in the right place! Deeply love your playing!
So many subtle, intricate things happening. Phenomenal song
HOW DO THESE DRUMS SOUND SO FKN GOOD??? Incredible playing helps a ton!
One of my faves dude.
Always loved the hi hat groove/fills from 0:25 before the bridge. so much fun
Oh Mike, those cymbal chokes caught me off guard big time. 10/10
Love the crack on your snare man, killer playing as always!!
Many others tried to replicate this song, none did it like the original master! OUTSTANDING AS ALWAYS MIKE!
Oh my Lordt! The snare triggers em Eargasms. Malyan = Groove.
Ah that additional fill-ins! So satisfying! It makes the song more tasty!
Absolutely incredible cover
World-class, man! So incredibly tasteful and musical.
Insame Mike, I love the work on the double kick, always essential, never too much, toms fills look so easy for you. 🤯
I'm guitarist, but in this kind of music, I'd like to be a drummer, I think that most interesting place in the band 😂
Perfection. I remember crowd surfing on this in Brutal Assault ! 🤘
YOU ARE THE CREATOR
Wow.. you're a beast ! Glad to see you back in Monuments !
Your feeling its awesome, youre the perfect combination of talent and joy. My favorite djent drummer so far, love your work in Algorithm too, cheers from Ecuador :)
INSANE. Been waiting for this playthrough ever since I saw you play live at Mumbai, you absolutely killed it
I am so glad you are playing for Monuments again, your drumming was one of my favourite aspects of the album and I was gutted when you left. Amazing stuff 😍
seeing this for the first time, I wonder how I could have missed this 3 years ago oO! ...dude, the way you play is mindblowing!! wow!!!
I know the original drum part to this really well (cause I'm a drummer and love the song). I love how you put your own spin on some of the fills and parts man. Loved your drumming since the Gnosis album. Keep it up!
He put his "own spin" on some parts... Mike Malyan actually plays the song in the album lol !
@@Iiiakaiii oh I thought this album was recorded with some European drummer dude
Mike IS the original "drum part"! :)
I requested this on his Degenerate playthrough, suggested it on RUclips too. Christmas came early 🍻
So clean and tasteful!
Killin it! I'd love to hear Admit defeat next
Anup sastry and this dude are my favorite virtuoso youtube drummers 🔥🔥🔥👍
Clean technique Mike, Awesome sound!
this is insanly satisfaying man, I love this
Damn man!! I have always hoped to have a video of you playing this song and it did NOT disappoint!! The way you accent certain parts literally pushed this song over the top! Your playing is part of what makes this one of the best songs of all time!
Still one of my favourite tracks! You are beast fairplay!
That was tight!
Superb man! Really good. The overheads sound clean af
Jesus man, this is s w i f t.
Stoked you're back. Keen on some of those Toto covers still ;)
Best drum play through I’ve ever seen. Amazing, dude 🤘🏽
Haha I agree!!!
Finally making a cover. This is just mental.
Absolutely phenomenal Mike!
I love this and you so much...
Fundamentally changed how I play the drums and count. I'm glad things are looking up for you when things are looking down for everyone else. Keep it up and slay em for us!!
About 4 mins of me trying to get my jaw back in place. SICK!
dude that was so sick!!
Such a happy player
That calf is the size of an entire chicken. Get it, mike!
sick stuff
This is nutty good!
So sick!!!
Shit day at uni... Massive workload and not enough time... Ahhh fuck it I'll watch mike and steal some of his energy 😂😂😂
Fucking loving this series of unedited videos 🙌🙌🥁
So Glad you are back with the bois mate!
I would love to hear you play through I the Destroyer!
You did it again Mike! More videos please!!
Dude, love seeing you play these tracks! 🤘
Glad you are back up and running. Subscribed!
Just came from Rick Beato's video and holy fucking cheesepuffs, man, you're as tight as those drum heads!
Wooooooooooooooooo get it! 🤘
🫶 your are the dude my guy!
Beast!
Dear Sir Malyan, would you please upload a playthrough of The Alchemist? All your grooves on that song are perfect, Sir! Would also love to see you play those in a video, lol. The footage of your recording session at Monnow Valley for the song on Monuments' channel just won't be enough. Thank you!
I'm not saying you could defeat Usain Bolt in a foot race. But those calf muscles tell me there is probably a chance
Yeah BABY
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Yesssssssssssss
Bad ass playing. Loved your drumming since I saw your video of you jamming Icarus Lives with Matt Halpern years ago
Killed it man! 🤜 ... Keep the vids coming.
Awesome, absolutely Awesome. Mike - I'd like to see you do Quasimodo and Horcrux with a lyric overlay.
This is sick.
So much POWER :D
Bravo.
Fucking INCREDIBLE
Mike, could you show us how you mix it would be surreal.
instant click, then instant motivation!
Memoirs please! I transcribed those drums from your video from like 10 years ago but I'd love to see an updated playthrough!
❤️❤️
Epic...
Hi man. Love the cover so much. Any way of getting hold of the backing tracks you make. For personal, non content use. Thanks
Crispy
yesss!!
awesome man🤘🤘🤘
Amazing!!!
yeeee
Hey I was considering making a cover of Blue Sky Thinking. Is there any chance you maybe would send a drum track?
🎶 The watch 🤘🥁👌
Man.. It would be so moist to have Matt(?) do vocals for the more recent songs, I only found you guys after amenuesis and didn't care much for gnosis at the time but... Fuck me he killed it
1:09 INSANE!!!
love itttttt :)
Saucy.
Mike, any chance we could get these files minus the drums? I am a primary teacher and want to play this in assembly for the kids. This isn’t a joke
Ever notice how extreamly talented metal heads have few tatoos or extream over the top appearances? Its all on the inside.
Mike can you do a play through for AWOL please or Opiate 😩
Tastier than a meatball sub!
crazy! are the amanuensis backing tracks available for download?
This is fantastic man, question were the drum parts of this song written by you?
Yessir!
JUST AT THE RIGHT TIME
Awesome cover buddy. Do you cover any August Burns Red or Misery Signals songs?
Thanks! It's actually my bands music, rather than a cover - I do love doing covers though!
Since I was a teenager I've wanted to do a cover of "Composure" by ABR. Maybe I'll tackle it as an adult!!
@@MalyanDrum Holy shit, didn't realize you were their drummer. I just came across this. Well played Sir.
@@Phantom-Signal Thanks man!! I'll be releasing one for Cardinal Red (off the latest album) within the next week or two!
Hardcore
Do you mix with a specific reverb on your snare or you let the room do its job as far as the explosiveness goes?
I'm using Denise - Perfect Room for verb right now as my room is super dead!
@@MalyanDrum thanks a lot for replying. I checked the perfect room verb and it looks interesting!
@@RaffaeleSansone I think it's my favourite one yet - it still doesn't beat a real room, but it's very clean and compresses wonderfully! Super exciting sound
denise makes super dope plugins, perfect room is pretty sick
