Imagine being able to avoid that song for all these years. That's the real talent 😅
-
Whoever came up with this content concept deserves a raise. So sick.
-
What a super sweet guy. I love how gentle so many metal guys are.
-
I find it funny that Megadeth’s drummer actually slowed the part down. Brilliant playing.
-
This whole concept of a musician playing a song blind and creating their own version is PERFECT!!!!!!!! It completely shows the beauty of interpretation with music.
-
Such a humble, ego-free and super cheerful dude, while also being tremendously talented. What a great human.
-
Humble guy, took every opportunity he could to give advice to others. People should aspire to be like this guy
-
His version really made this song sound like ballad which was fucking dope.
-
I don't know if people can understand, how amazing it is, what this drummer just did. He is a true artist.
-
This is the best example of how a song can be changed so dramatically by the drums.
-
His version has such a big dramatic feel building up through the verses. The vibe is very different but still fits well, and with the exception of the very end of the outro, he really nailed the rest of it. The shifting tension between sections gives the chorus a lot more punch while giving the verses room to build up gradually. He killed it in one take!
-
Drumming in half time really makes it even more of an emo track, and made the contrast when he sped up for the chorus feel even better.
-
It would be rad for them to do this with every instrument independently and then put all the new parts together and see how insanely different it is from the original
-
Besides all that's already been said, his genuine laugh followed by the line "Hey, man, don't hate me... I did my best" showed how humble, respectful and great of an artist he is.
-
Came for drumeo but left a fan of this guy his personality is awesome
-
This version needs an official recording! 🔥🔥🔥
-
I love how his version makes it sound like it’s mellowed down a little but seems to hit harder at the same time.
-
His version of this song has such a Foo Fighters vibe. Well done!
-
Metal dudes are always some of the nicest guys I've ever met.
-
Holy moly, his drum needs to be backed up by an orchestra strings! He expands the variety of the song. oh man, I lost my words by awe.
