The Picking Pythagorean lol... Drum Acting (I thought only the female “drummers” with millions of views were doing this?)... 4:24 Gives it away. Obviously (now) we HEAR the true sound of this guy’s kit/playing in the last few seconds of the video and you know this guy is NOT playing “accurately” like others are praising here. I own this kit and module and there is no way the 16th notes this drum actor is conveying wouldn’t translate as audio. So this guy posts “Don’t you forget about me COVER” as the title. Um, no. This is drum acting. If you lower YOUR drum mix to hide YOUR playing (mistakes, timing issues, human feel, etc) and you only let the listeners HEAR the ORIGINAL recording, you are not “covering” this song but rather you are DRUM-ACTING. This is just terrible. Trade in your light sticks for lessons OR just tell the truth - you are DRUM-ACTING to this song instead of actually playing / translating your actual drumming. Gtfoh. Maytell does the same thing with her Tool drum “covers”. You HEAR accurate drum parts but you SEE the wrong drum hits. Don’t be like Maytell . Be an actual drummer that posts real playing. #ispelledhernamewrongandfakelikesheis #drumactor

Drums are the focal instrument that carry this song. The breakdown after the bridge is just awesome.

Dude, fellow drummer here. You nailed the fill at 3:45 I watched it about 100 times and my brain still can't soak up everything you did in those few seconds lol. great job on the whole song as well

This guy is incredibly talented his timing is impeccable

Omg the end was absolutely incredible with the lights. I can't say enough how awesome this is.

That was a freaking cool cover! The addition of the dark/light sticks was so phenomenal! Great job, sir!

Dear Mr. Vernon: We accept the fact that we had to sacrifice a whole Saturday in detention for whatever it is we did wrong, but we think you're crazy for making us write an essay telling you who we think we are. You see us as you want to see us: in the simplest terms, in the most convenient definitions. But what we found out is that each one of us is a brain, and an athlete, and a basket case, a princess, and a criminal. Does that answer your question? Sincerely yours, The Breakfast Club.

This song travels into the affinity of space, ageless, timeless and never tiring, forever and ever! La, lala ,la, lala..........................

That was Next level.

Spot on! Loved the entire deal... the 'crack' on the snare was just perfect! Great tones and perfect all the way around... appreciated!

I still think this song is still one of the coolest in terms of drums, and you demonstrate that in 100%. The Roland electric drum set sound is awesome!

The lighting was a nice addition! Truly 80s

The perfect sound, congratulations!!!

Absolutely flawless. Loved it!

Absolutely awesomely played! Love this song & all the parts & those fills!! Appreciate the different angles & when the light up sticks section took it up to a whole ‘nother level! Dynamic!! ✨🥁🎆🎇

I just revisited this song for the first time in years, and was really digging the drums, so I went to see if anyone has done a great drum cover. This was the first one that popped up, and it was better than I could have ever hoped for. The light change with the sticks and strobe effects at the moment of climax and release were just exquisite. Great timing and pocket!

That's cool when the drum sticks light up.

NYBros2, You are fantastic. This drum cover is second to None!!!! Also, you look cool through out the the video. Well done!

Got it exactly right! Every drummer slightly rushes this song but the right feel is to have it a tiny bit sagged and NOT rush. You’ve pulled off an A+

One of the best drums cover of this gem. Loving it in Texas. Way to go man! ♥️✊

Puta som essa batera.... Muito parecido!!! parabéns 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

Also....ignore the drums, observe how he is holding the sticks, how relaxed he is, the fulcrum is as if he's cradling a bird gently....I know within 30 seconds of his ergonomics (Posture, Shoulders dropped and sense of Meter from years of practicing! )

Such a lovely kit nicely upgraded and a cover of a great song played to perfection what more could you ask... 👏

This is the tightest cover I've heard for this - great job!

I played drums for years but haven't lived anywhere I could play for 3 decades now. And this to me has always been my favorite drum part of any song, the GOAT. It's what the guy played and how it fit the song, the drum tuning & sounds. It's perfect.

This song stretches across all genres. That's iconic. And you sir know an iconic drum piece when you hear one. Very well done and appreciated.

Great job, man! Have to play this tune Saturday night and you're video helped me fill the gaps. Thank you!

Bloody beautiful mate!! A real pleasure to watch thanks

Really great job. Love your drum set.

This guy is awesome. He never missed a beat. Love it!

When the lights went out in seconds I went to the 80's. Thank you very much, fantastic!

That caught my attention apparently. Especially the editing during the bridge. Very creative and very solid drumming. Kudos

I had listened to a different cover and thought he was pretty good and then discovered this man! I WOW A+

Love this cover. Excellent work !!!

Great playing and the addition of low light/glowing sticks was the cherry on top!!

Flawless!!! 100% impressed!

I wasnt expecting this to make my day! Well done good sir! 👏

Excellent cover. Love the light show.

Nailed it! Love the lighting effects!

Rapaz, se alguém somente ouvir esse vídeo, sem que lhe conte que é um cover, não saberá. Você foi perfeito. E que som essa sua bateria eletrônica. Muito bom mesmo!!! Parabéns!

Oh man you absolutely nailed this track. Great job and those visual effects were great too.

God I love this song, mostly because of the drums. You got those 16th notes in the bass drum too with one foot. And that crazy fill he does at the end. Those are really critical to the many special touches the drummer adds to this song.

1 of my favorite drum and cymbal combination sounds of ALL time. Mel's sound on this song is killer!

I love the editing you did during the breakdown. Well played, sir!

Great rendition, great chops, way to stay true to a great song👍👍👍

3:13....Such a nice touch! Brilliant cover to a classic song from one of the greatest films ever made

clean and smooth and those drum stick lights was awesome!!

The perfect sound, congratulations!!! My favourite band seeing 40th tour next year... you nailed it. Mel would be proud sir!

Fantastic playing. Spot on!

Just that first snare hit and I know exactly which song it is. This is what you call a 10/10 cover, incredibly accurate!

Perfectly done love it.

Great cover and great sound!! Oh yeah the drum sticks were pretty cool too😎

Amazing digital drum sound, love it, please keep going!

That cover version is so accurate note for note and there is no flamming at all. This video is great for drummers who wants to cover this classic song.

Wonderful! Fantastic cover with great theater. The the glows sticks edit brought a lot of punch to the video and interest for the viewer. Thanks for a great post!

Amazing, love this song as well and I’m a heavy metal fan as well!! Music has no boundaries that’s for sure!!!!

Man, am I glad you did this as a drum cover....I love this song! You did a great job on this. Thanks !

Killer performance, spot on. Awesome groove and timing. Sounds like the original track. Very well done, love your drums set up

Super entertaining, and great stick control!!

For some reason I find it very relaxing to just watch you play sir! Thank you.

You HAVE to be a working musician... so clean and crispy.. you clearly understand volume and the transitions are flawless. many, many props sir.

THAT was *awesome* - great work man!

This drum part is UNFORGETTABLE.

Perfecto ! Note for note and your set up is flippin awsome !!! Well done .

thumbs up man the change to those flourecent sticks was nice and the sound flawless

Great drumming, man!

Wow! Great drumming. Very accurate.

Sire, your skills left me speechless! You scored a perfect 100 in my score book and payed proper homage to one of my favorites. Thank you ❤️☺️❤️

Beautiful work-love how tight you are on beat.
