The Art Of Dying - Gojira [Drum Cover by Thomas Crémier]

The time has come.

After years of listening to this music again and again, knowing this would be the song of my life, and never had the courage to learn it… I finally had faith and after months of decrypting, learning, playing, failing, mastering the pattern, I am so proud to share this masterpiece with you.

I truly hope you'll love that video, it asked us (my cameraman and I) a lot of efforts, strength, time, money to invest in that project, and my fingers are crossed hoping you'll feel how we felt doing this.

Enjoy,
Take care and be safe.

This was a dangerous venture, full of orcs and nazguls, yet he delivered the ring to Mount Doom. Well done, sir. This was incredible.

[kobraking]

That’s gotta be one of the hardest gojira songs to cover, can’t wait to see you crush it!

[terranaut]

I remember thinking to myself "if I just skip the intro I can play this song" Yeah I have no self confidence left.

[dylandutka]

I can see the emotion on your face. It's awesome to see someone actually put their heart and soul into a song.

[mariodiaz]

The execution, the tempo, the dynamics, the blast beats.., everything is perfect, the best cover seen in youtube of this song, you're a monster brother!!!

[samuell]

This is just insane, the best cover of the art of dying, congrats from Brasil 🇧🇷

[erickgames]

This is the best Art of Dying cover on youtube. So precise and professional

[jshooa]

Fucking hell. This is the best cover I could've asked for for this song. Everything is perfect. And, what makes this cover so amazing is the camerawork too. You did everything right. You just got a sub

[lemaki]

This is why I can't leave Youtube for good. Big fear of missing out on such an incredible cover.

[muhdadam]

the fact that this cover was 3 years ago and you still replied to the comments is big respect...good cover by the way, nailed that intro...W Thomas🔥

[amanadhav]

That opener alone was insane. You did it man. Absolutely shredded it

[evoIX]

Absolutely incredible. One of my favorite tracks of all time, you crushed it. From the 4 minute mark on it’s other world experience, sounds like a machine gun. 🤘🏻💪🏻

[joaopedroraldi]

That's a lot of effort, quality and a great final result for only 1k view.
Hope YouTube algorithm bless you.

[HenryCrown]

Embracing the outro of this song just shows how artistic and amazing this cover is. Zero drums in the outro, but y'all managed to pull it off in such an amazing way.

[KernaaliKehveli]

The cover was so well played that it's hard to believe it's a cover. Top notch production and your efforts truly paid off. Best song of all time.

[deweytucker]

Breathtaking. Absolutely breathtaking.

[waltersalamanca]

I love all the content of this channel, but This is the best video I've ever seen! The song is really amazing, the production is wonderful and the mixing of the drumset is simply perfect! You have made your best effort to improve the content of the channel every day and it makes me very happy! Congrats and cheers from Colombia! 💪😎

[trokoshea]

Performance à s'en décrocher la mâchoire. Chapeau, Thomas!

[MKraus]

How TF was this recommended TWO YEARS LATER!? Amazing cover of one of the best technical songs ever! 💯

[TommysGuitar]

As a guitarist it amazes me when you see the drummers perspective on what you are playing when it might be a slower part of the song for the guitars you are still going at it 1000mph. Absolutely epic cover I can tell that took a lot of muscle memory and natural timing to nail. Well done!
