[BanzaMusic]

3:00 I can literally see the emotions through the moves of your body, that part of the song always touched me the most also, seeing you reflect that into your playing really sent shivers down my spine. Absolutely great job, hat's off to you.

[Ella-lhcl]

Powerful song, masterfully played. While your technical skills are impressive, it's the emotional connection you have with the music that makes your drumming exceptional. Without that, even the most flawless performance can feel empty and lack the profound impact that music is supposed to have. You, Delta, excel at conveying emotions through your playing.
Thank you for sharing your art with us. 🧡

[douggoble]

I am still feeling you, MAN, awesome!!!

[Ammosi]

Congratulations man.
Excellent work 💪👍

[jamesrviar]

Damn he hits that snare...and lots of emotion. Well done. I'm 72 and love this stuff!!

[FlashGoro]

always stoked with your uploads! Super awesome.

[Jdotwalkdown]

After watching a ton of other covers, there is a TON of emotion and joy coming out of this. Body language VS some of the others is heavy into it. Love to see it 💙

[mr.nibblez]

Watching you play inspires the hell out me. Happy new year!

[Howard_the_Duck]

That was a fuckin great, emotional performance. A+ dude.

[stefanieandre]

In love with it... when you had a bad day, hear it, greetings from Germany

[FreeMarketFan_]

The whole kit sounds awesome, those symbols in particular are perfect. Love Zilgians.

[loschefsitosbrunoyalonso]

WOW, THAT WAS SO AWESOME! Thank you for doing this kick ass song. We loved your cymbal work on this one. YOU ARE THE UNDISPUTED DRUMMER CHAMPION OF THE WORLD!

[beardguitar]

Good song...thanks for the New Years gift!! That snare sounds incredible.

[jennarose]

Amazing! Love that you ended the year on a high note! One of my favorite songs EVER!! It was perfect!! We need more Delta! 🖤🖤🖤 Good to hear from you, The Dark Lord 🖤🖤🖤

[petgeek]

Happy New Year, the Empire is here. I love showing your videos to people who don't seem to get the kinetic energy involved in high level drumming. (Which isn't to say that you're showboating; you're not. You're *hitting* the damn things like you mean it.)
Thanks as ever, looking forward to the next.

[hovhanneshovakimyan]

Just thanks for being this good :) Your cover of my lovely SOAD, oh!

[gafoot]

And...it has arrived. A drum cover that I've been hoping for. Santa was late, but generous!!! Thanks for this one, you hit it out of the park as usual. And Happy New Year!!

[jdmercard]

God damn that's good man. I've never really enjoyed the drumming component of this song until watching this video. Please keep making these.

[peempyang]

You chose the right path Dark Lord. Keep up the good work.

[BallPythonPassion]

One thing is for sure. You definitely don't let your followers down. I have been subbed to you since the top 500 and I have literally put all of your videos in my playlist to listen to in my car.. You are fucking amazing!!!
