John Mayer - Last Train Home (Drum Cover) by Kai Jokiaho
John Mayer released a great new single and I had to make my version of it. It's got some 80's vibes from Clapton's Journeyman (one of my favourites) and some Toto influences. I tried to play Aaron Sterling's original parts but added some hi-hat for the beginning of the song.
I also have an older John Mayer cover on my channel, check it out. • John Mayer - Waiting O...

Thanks flodrums! I had a cheat sheet for the different kick variations :) I basically did the same thing when somebody sends me a song to play. 1: Make a quick chart with kick/snare/fills 2: Record a version with my own feeling but using most of the demo drums. It would be hard to memorize all the variations when listening to the song twice, so this helps speed up the learning curve.
Nice!!
Great playing and amazing sound!

Nice cover. I've viewed 3 cover vids and all have interpreted the HH differently. 2 handed 16ths and single handed broken 16ths and this one filling in the gaps with ghost notes.

Youre playing the kick pattern exactly the same as the album version which is actually amazing to me, most drummers dont play it identical like that, thats some amazing drummer memory right there, you clearly have a good ear for listening to songs man

Thanks Andrea! I'm not a mixing expert at all :) I just use a little eq, try to balance everything and on this song I had reverb on the snare drum.
KYLLÄ kuulostaa hyvältä! Groovaaaa! Saattaa tulla sulle Kai pian sub-keikka Mayerin bändiin jos omat miehet ei kerkiä soittamaan ;-) Ja täytyy sanoa, että sitä tehtiin 80-l:lla paljon loistavaa musiikkia, mistä tää biisi muistuttaa. Terv. H. Saksasta

ForkU, I heard that the 16th notes come from the percussion and the drums play mainly 8-notes. The original doesn't even have hi-hat for the intro and the first verse...this was just my version :)
