Oh man, Eminem did a decent job covering an Adam Gray original.

Everyone bitching about this playing in this video and too many ghost notes and fills and too flashy, like some actual smart people mentioned, he's playing the eminem's actual raps and the accents in his rap and the flow in his rap, rapping has a rythmn in the flow and he matched that shit perfectly with amazing musicianship. This is amazing musicianship and timing and awareness to translate this fast flowing rap to the drum set to perfection while still adding his style to it. If you want a basic backbeat to the song, just listen to the normal album version with a drum machine behind it.

I hear you, but.. how do you drum an accent? ^^

@Khanh1321

Andy Ham Not the accent in his English. In drumming and music, an accented note is one that is emphasised/played louder. So when he hits a cymbal really hard, most of the time it's also in time with when Eminem may yell something louder.

Couldn't have said it better myself. 👌

If you think this lacks rhythm, try focusing on the lyrics. He comped almost every single syllable when he wasn't shedding over the instrumental! I would gladly watch this dude destroy his kit to a song or not! Definitely one of the best drummers out there and I'm so glad he's been able to put more studio quality videos out!

AJK Productions exactly. His pace adjust to Ems pace. Not the crazy techno style beat lol. The bass is what the rapper generally flows to, not the random noises and other elements to pull the instrument together.

i need to re-evaluate my drum life after watching this

EviLLivE Gaming The point is if this shit isnt difficult for you than make a fuckin video showing you're amazing talent instead of making dumbass comments on youtube.

#1 - any negative comment on this video is most likely by a non-drummer because most drummers will know that the way Adam Gray moves around the kit is way above and beyond a "normal" drummer. I feel that his mind puts things together is a much more different and complex way than most drummers I've seen (myself included); and #2 - this guy, my friends, is why Luke Holland chose "Hook, Line, and Sinner" as the first cover that he posted, which began his ascendancy into KZread fame and ultimately his joining The Word Alive, as well as a slew of other things and I'm sure much more to come...though Adam Gray, I feel, cannot be bested. An old band I was in opened for Texas In July a couple years ago and that whole band was some of the nicest and most genuine people I have ever been fortunate enough to share a stage with...Adam Gray was at the top of that list for me, probably considering that we, as drummers, gravitated toward each other at the merch tables and hung out for a while. All that being said, I have to also say to Adam: damn man, awesome and impressive job on this - as with everything you do!

Groove locks in HARD at 3:53... The rocket ship really takes off at 4:25.... and then my head explodes at 4:32

i literally just stared at my screen for about 5 minutes after it ended

Stayed for the fast rap part at the end. Was not disappointed. 10/10

I was blown away when that part came around. Adam is such a beast

it's incredible.. So sick man. The paradiddle at 4:25 is impossible :o

I love the ending where your name explodes onto the screen. Usually I find it cheesy in youtube videos, but you shredded so hard, that it just felt perfect and worthy. Please upload more covers like this!

>is not easily impressed >jaw dropped numerous times upon watching this video

Honestly I was waiting so long for this. This improv is kick-ass! Following the lyrics gives it such an awesome perspective! Definitely makes me want to practice even more haha

I wish I could play like this... Good shit Adam, by far my most influential drummer to this day

Every time I want to listen to this song, I don't go to the original. This is the one I listen to. Cannot imagine this without your drumming now, man. Awesome work.

Love the energy! Awesome fills! Crazy tempo changes! Loved it!

this is definitely adams fav music genre to play. #AdamGrayForPresident

I don't think I've ever been this blown away by any music performance.

You put a big smile on my face, Adam, way to go!

I was just looking for unique drum covers and stumbled on to this. damn I wasn't disappointed that was beast mode nice work

this is the best drum related video i have ever laid eyes on, god bless

Holy hell man, I truly believe you are the best to ever get behind a kit. You're my greatest inspiration to keep at it. Love the playthrough videos from Blood work too.

I love this arrangement style!! very compliments Adam, I think this is the evolution of drumming and perfect mix

Holy FUCKING shit, that was absolutely asTOUNDING. Absolutely, positively, most certainly amazing!!

Do excuse my profanity, sir.

He has his eyes closed almost the entire song! I could watch this as many times as you would listen to a song

It's one thing playing a cover like this, it's another thing to play it with your eyes closed! Insane!!!

you are crazy matt ..that's was insaneeeee !!! ..i love it so muchh

great job , always a pleasure to watch you playing man

This shows the exact intensity and the energy it takes to perform this song. Drum style ! Lol dude you are shredding 🤗🔥

Thank you for that video!!! Honestly you are GREAT!!! Keep uploading!

Idk how this doesn’t have more views?! This is insane

3:00 that one handed hi hat doe And it took me about 30 seconds to realize he was just playing along to the lyrics instead of the beat, if you don't drum don't criticize

Still coming back to this 7 years later. Adam in flowstate is ungodly.

"Still coming back to this 7 years later." - again and again!

Jeeze, that was nasty. Incredible drumming man. Amazing.

i watch this like once a week.

Even through all of the craziest bits, you still manage to keep accenting the vocal dynamics. Fucking insane

this guy is ridiculous on the drums. im blown away.

this dude is more than a rythm player.This drummer is awesome!

Good job! And that's why I love doing pop-/hiphop-/rnb-drumcovers, although I love heavy music. More please.

Adam "the animal" Gray. Awesome!

There goes my hero, hes ordinary! love it adam

I love watching these videos and reading all the comments from all of the keyboard drummers.

Sickest drummer out there right now, killed it

Yeaaahhhh..now thats how you beat drums 🔥🔥🔥

The very first thing I picked up on was that he was interpreting the lyrics...... I'm not sure how that's not obvious but w/e. Huge fan Adam! loved watching you play with Texas at Mt.Airy Firehall. You're an inspiration \m/ -Samdarsh

from one drummer to another. That was dope my friend

OMG ! Adam Gray you are ridiculous ! you're my favorite drummer hands down :P

i tried this chops and now i'm in ICU because i broke my fingers, and i'm writing this through telepathy...you're awesome adam gray...

Nice work Adam . I look forward to more

This is Awesome! Please make more videos, Adam!!!

This is sick!

Literally the most tech companies cover I’ve ever heard. He could’ve just stuck to the back beat but, instead he followed Eminem’s flow. So difficult. Unreal.

On behalf of all drummers like myself world-wide....HOLY F#$! Awesome. Knew you were good and admired your work but this takes it to a new level!

You make elevating music

I'm speechless.

this is awesomeee

this is frkn awesome, I'm youre fan from the first album Texas in July, cheers from Poland +Adam Gray
