Eye of the Beholder

Eye of the Beholder
Metallica
1988
I’m going back and redoing a few of my earliest videos now that I’ve learned a little bit more about recording a/v.
This is often written off as the “easy” song on an album with no easy songs, or having a square peg into a round hole vibe, but it is a great jam and has a slightly mathematical precision that’s soothing without becoming too complex.

Excellent drumming Mike! The kick work is impressive, and so is your accuracy with all the timing changes. Your snare is cracking beautifully too! 🤘🤘💥💥

This the song which Lars doesn't want to play anymore live!! A few years ago they played the who AJFA album and he complained about this song!! I think you could fill in for him if they play it again!! Sounds great and awesomely played Mike!!🤘🤘

[@mikedrop2717]

Thank you Zach! I actually think Lars is the one that gave it the square peg description haha! It was one of the first songs that got me really counting!! Glad to hear from you brother!! 🤘🤘

[@bob70drum62]

[@deantalbotdrums]

I’m not a Metallica fan, but this is really good, Myke. Numerous tempo changes and yet you’re on every one. Love the intro too. Great double kick work, and overall awesome job with a complex track! 👏👏👏👏🔥🥁🔥🤘🤘🤘

[@mikedrop2717]

Thank you Dean! I think the intro was always part of what hooked me, and the way it shows up throughout the song. It was one of the songs that got me counting at an early age 😎 thanks again brother I truly appreciate it! 🤘🤘

[@Kennyonthedrums]

Nice job Mike!!

[@mikedrop2717]

Thanks Kenny I appreciate it brother!! 🤘🤘

[@3L3V3NDRUMS]

Awesome cover man! Cool sound of your toms! Nice kick work and chokes. Those songs are so much more difficult than all those Lars haters think. You did it justice man🤘🤘🤘

[@mikedrop2717]

Thanks Tobi that means a lot coming from you! The way I figure it, nobody can deny the quality of the first four albums , and when you spend as much time listening to the entire catalog as we do, you see the same Larsisms are still there. There really isn’t an easy one haha thanks again brother!! 🤘🤘

[@KikeRocket]

Great cover man, cool sounds!! 🤘🤘

[@mikedrop2717]

Thank you brother I appreciate it so much!! 🤘🤘
