Maciej Dzik - Karnivool - The Refusal (Drum Cover)

From long time I wanted to cover some Karnivool song so when i heard the single last week I knew there won't be a better moment for doing this. It took me two days to analyze and learn the song, its not very hard but a very tricky one.

There were no drum replacements/samples/triggering used in this video - what you hear is all natural, just EQed and compressed drums.

Thx Meinl for support!!!

How is there no comments on this yet?  Karnivool such a profound band.
Great cover

[maciekdzikdrums]

thx man, I was super excited about doing this, had blisters all over my hands :P

[Mathieew]

Hey, great cover! It's amazing that it took you two days, must have worked hard! I really enjoyed watching it.

[tiberbeats]

nice man, really enjoyed it. especially the polyrhythm section

[Markkiisi]

Good stuff man, helped me clear out some parts which I had trouble with.

Keep it up.

[maciekdzikdrums]

Hmm I am actually thinking about analyzing some Disperse stuff, should do some in august :) stay tuned

[butterchcken]

What do you mean in the description when you say its not very hard but it is very tricky? Awesome job as well!

[jaseyelectro]

Great cover bro! :D \m/ Yes I understand why u mentioned 'conceptual' :)

[maciekdzikdrums]

Hmm the beats in the song are for me far more conceptual than complex. It's not very demanding tech wise, but to come to this idea....hmm it might be :) I hope it makes any sense

[maciekdzikdrums]

Yeah, it was hard time but I love to set myself short dispance goals :)

[dvillanueva]

Hey man, how do you go about analyzing and breaking down something like this?

[butterchcken]

I think so. You mean he plays in an interesting/different way compared to most drummers?

[maciekdzikdrums]

hmm sorry dude for disappointing you :/ did my best

[mattguitarz]

not as tight as i wanted it to be when i clicked it..

[chuckberry]

The drumming is great .. The singing sucks .. 😎
