  • This comes off the monstrous 1984 album. This is definitely not a note-for-note drum cover -- I played this more like I thought Alex might play it live, where he would often add extra kicks to the studio tracks. I also dropped my stick at the end, but the song was over, so it's all good lol! Rock on, groovy peeps! 🤘🤘

    I don’t think people know how hard it is to play Alex Van Halen. He had such a unique sense of rhythm as did Eddie. Trying to play along with a VH song is super challenging and you absolutely crushed this one!

    Yaaaasssss! GGB off of the '84 Album. Oh yeah, Baby!! What a song. What riffs. What mega bone-crushing drumming by the man Alex Van Halen. Just some of everything... and the best in the biz!! I don't really know how you drummers refer to this effect... but I always used to say to my Buds.... that Al was "playing behind Ed: on this one. Something about the way this sounds.... just mega hard. Mega in your face. Mind-blowing when I first heard it... and still to this day, sometimes. And as always... Mike... you CRUSHED it!!! Absolutely smoking drumming. Anyone who says AVH isn't a total monster on the kit.. is nutz! And the same is true of you. Man... you just smoked this one, Brother! Your work on the double kick pedal is absolutely amazing. Your timing. All of it! So amazing to watch you, and listen to you. You are an inspiring musician for sure! All the best, my Brother.

Ed and Alex did have a chemistry and vibe that was phenomenal... and they both had tremendous musical skills. I sure appreciate your incredible support Jimmy! Have a great week my bro!🙏💛🤘

    I love it when people get what is going on between the guitar and the drums with Van Halen, that is the rhythm section.... Alex always played to Ed's groove, which is why he seems behind the best. Al was fineseful, subtle and jazzy... Very much his Ginger Baker influence... You nailed it...

    Dang it man......Alex drive that train hard didn't he? I'm about your age and did my share of garage band gigs as well as a kid. You're inspiring me to get an electronic kit and get busy!!!

      I say do it!! It's a blast trying to conquer these songs that I never thought would be possible to cover when I was a youngster. Studio quality drums from home??? It seemed impossible! 🙏🙏🤘🤘

    Great cover! And thanks for bumping up the volume for the percussion - a lot of this is lost in the mix in the original.

    Don't like the added double kick...sounds to much..think this shows how good Alex is... the right amount of space... technical fills that fit.

    • @MikeConwayDrums
      @MikeConwayDrums  Год назад +1

      Thanks for watching Chris! Adding the extra double kicks was admittedly a roll of the dice... I always go back and forth on playing it straight vs. making it my own, lol!

  • @davedifilippo536
    @davedifilippo536 11 месяцев назад

    That was amazing. Sounds like you're adding more hits on the bass drum, and snare in some spots which actually maybe is more difficut? The track skipped some parts of the song. Not a big deal - you're drumming is fantastic. Very nice.

    • @MikeConwayDrums
      @MikeConwayDrums  11 месяцев назад +1

      Thank you Dave! Yes, I used a shortened version of the song and added some extra kicks. I was inspired by listening to Van Halen's live performances, where Alex would often improvise some extra double kicks and other licks into the various songs. I sure appreciate your nice comments my man! 🙏💛🤘🤘

  • @detroitdiezel7856
    @detroitdiezel7856 11 месяцев назад

    Great job on a killer VH song! This just proves how underrated Alex is as a drummer. I've always thought he was a top 5 drummer at least. One question though, at 2:54 why the edit at this point? There's about 30 seconds of the song omitted here. Is it because there's little to no drumming during this section of the song?

    • @MikeConwayDrums
      @MikeConwayDrums  11 месяцев назад

      Thanks so much for watching & for your comments! Yes, I shortened the song a little -- just seemed a bit repetitive in that part. 😃🙏🙏🤘🤘
