Hi Matt - first, I just gotta say, I know nothing about drumming, but I am totally mesmerized watching you play. You are so amazingly talented!!! You can definitely see the Tre influences in your playing, it’s so freaking cool. I don’t know if you take requests (if you don’t, that’s totally cool, I understand) but I’ve always wanted to hear a drum cover of “I Was There” from 1039/Smoothed. Keep rocking and take care :)
@@MattWilsonDrummer Hi, I'm a talent scout at Sessions and love what you're doing. Would love to get you in front of our global audience of music fans. Are you interested? Our team sent you an email for more details. Let me know if you got it.
I've always watched your videos and looked up to you as who I want to be able to play like aswell as tre yet in a day you've managed to produce this cover I really love it
That's so awesome doodle ben! I learned to play drums listening to Green Day and a lot of my playing is heavily influenced by Tre. I feel like it gives me an advantage in being able to learn their songs quickly. I listened to it a lot last night before getting on the drums this morning. Thank you so much for the kind comment and for watching my videos! Best of luck with your drumming!
Thanks do you actually have any tips for drum cover videos my channel is called drummer bens drum covers and its just going no where and I'd like to upload more videos but they never get anywhere like I'd want to start panic song or waiting however no body sees them so do you have any tips
@@coversbyben It's really hard to get any new RUclips channel started and then trying to get views for your videos. You've already got the channel started though, so you're off to a good start. I think getting views just takes time. I didn't get very many view on the videos I posted for the first 9 months I had a channel and I was posting 1 a week. Then a new Green Day record came out and somehow people found my drum covers and my channel got a boost. I still don't get that many views for most of my videos, but I'm here to have fun and play drums. My advice would be to keep playing and making videos and eventually the views should start coming in.
Nice! Glad to see you're back and playing it safe!! I'd love to see a cover in full hockey gear next time! Drumming in skates might be a little tricky...
Haha, yeah I think I'd have a hard time hitting the pedals with skates on and playing with hockey gloves would probably be a challenge as well. I'll consider it for next year's Green Day hockey song. Good to be back! NOFX has a new record coming out so I'll have some covers off that soon!
@@MattWilsonDrummer Awesome! Looking forward to those new covers. Some of my friends were trying to get me to drum a show in full goalie gear one time. Hold onto sticks with a blocker and catching glove seems impossible! hahaha
@@MattWilsonDrummer For sure but the hockey gear stench would have cleared the room though hahaha Civilians aren't conditioned to smelling this type of biohazard!
Okay so first off, I was wondering “has Matt made a cover yet?” Then see this notification pop up :) Secondly, the hockey helmet is a perfect addition lol. I’d also like to hear your opinion on the new single.
Ha, I think at this point I'm obligated to cover any and all new Green Day songs as quickly as possible! I've thought about wearing the hockey helmet in some past videos, but didn't go through with it. Now my hockey bag is stored on the shelf behind the curtains behind my drums so I thought I'd try it. I like the drums for this new song and it has a lot of energy. The chorus gets a bit repetitive and I'm not so sure about the lyrics. It's a decent song, but I probably won't listen to it much. What do you think of it?
@@MattWilsonDrummer it’s decent. Lyrics are meh and kind of meaningless. Better than the majority of FOAMF in my opinion. I play hockey as well and I’m a big time NHL fan so when I heard Green Day was partnering with them this year I was ecstatic. :)
@@itsjader8354 That's awesome that you play hockey too! I took a break a couple years ago and haven't been back yet, but it was always so much fun to play. The NHL is about the only sport I watch anymore, so I was also excited when I saw Green Day was releasing a new song. Thanks again for watching!
@@MattWilsonDrummer I’ve seen in other videos that you’re a hawks fan (assuming from Chicago). I love Kane and Toews but can’t stand the team as a Stars fan lol. Been to the city twice tho and I’m dying to visit again.
@@itsjader8354 I'm from Indianapolis, so they were the closest NHL team growing up. kane and Toews are incredible players and it's been great watching them over the years. Chicago is great for a visit, but I don't think I could ever live there.
Love it! Great Song, Great Cover! I just started to drum 2 month ago and its a little bit hard to play the song by just Watching your video, do you have the notes for the Song to Download somewhere? Greetings from Germany
Hello Vincent! That's awesome that you recently started playing drums and I hope you're having a great time learning! Unfortunately, I don't have any notes or tabs for this song and I'm not sure if those exist anywhere. I learn songs by listening to them a lot and playing through them over and over until I get it right. Good luck with your drumming and thank for watching from Germany!
Hey Luke, I know it's been a while. I always intend to get back to making weekly videos, but then it doesn't happen. I've been doing great and hope you're doing the same! Thanks for stopping by!
Them cymbals sound amazing! Great cover man
Yeah! You're back! Love it, great cover!
I never mean to go away, but I'll always be back at some point! Hopefully I'll get back to regular videos again. Thanks for watching!
BRILLIANT mate as always

@@ElDarren Ha! Yeah, that doesn't sound very doable! I'm sure it would have been funny to walk out to the drums with everyone on though.
@@MattWilsonDrummer For sure but the hockey gear stench would have cleared the room though hahaha Civilians aren't conditioned to smelling this type of biohazard!
@@ElDarren Haha, yeah that's definitely a very unique smell! Man, I can smell it now just thinking about it.
Nice cover !
Thanks for watching Nathanfa!!!!
