Dua Lipa - Don't Start Now - Adrian Trepka /// Drum Cover

This song is crazy! I immediately fell In love with its vibe. That retro style certainly speaks to me. As always, I’ve tried to play every programmed hit, while adding just a bit of my own “sauce” on top of it. Beautiful sounding Paiste cymbals were used in this video. Let me know what is your opinion on my arrangement! Enjoy the video!

Additional drums recorded and mixed by me.

Julia sent me. I can see why she chose to collaborate with you 👌🔥

Between Adrian here and Julia on bass, that's Dua Lipa's live rhythm section sorted right there.

1:42 I was like "OH CRAP" it scared me. It was so unexpected but perfect and just WOAH.

[pltypuses]

I’ve probably watched about 30 drum covers of this song on YouTube and without a doubt yours is my favorite so far. Simple but efficient. Keeps everything good about the song but still contributes a decent level of originality. Keep up the great work mate!

[eutoob]

I'm a guitar guy but this drum cover has so much texture to it. Must've listened/watched this 20 times and I'm still picking out little nuggets of gold in the sound

[SP-kzvo]

Man, you are thinking about each detail, just not randomly playing above the original song, but looking at each detail. That's awesome. Keep going, best cover so far from this song

FINALLY! A drummer covering this song who actually did the cowbell part in the chorus. Lovely.

[Hanschepu]

Congratulations, one of the best covers Ive heard in a long time, at last someone who understands that its not about overplaying, doing fills etc. drums are just one part of the song, and a great drummer knows that.

[Tactavious]

I've been playing your cover and julia's bass cover in sync and it's blowing my mind. Love this.

[fubar]

Juliaplaysgroove did an awesome bass cover of this song too. You guys should combine tracks!

[soulpower]

His expression when he plays is awesome to watch

[ginemaelagnason]

This drum cover and Julia playing the bass of Dua Lipa's. It must be an out of this world groove. Yay!

[tompa]

1:42🤯 how did you do that? OMG
THE BEST

[NikkeK]

Dude, loved those hits on the cowbell! This is so good... You are so good!!😅

This seriously makes me wanna go practice right now even tho it's 10 pm and I've got work tomorrow😂

[JoolsParker]

Yup, here from Julia too - two incredibly awesome next level musicians. So jealous. And I just can't stop listening to perfect drum fill just after @1:41 - beautifully executed and crispy af!

[grace-]

ok fav part is how you smile and look like you're honestly having fun the whole time it makes the whole video so much more cheerful!!

[lphna]

Sign this guy, we’re going to a live show!

[mellowtron]

*I applaud the fact that you included the cowbell. That was always my favorite part of the percussion of this song. And you did it, smooth.*

[fairuzhussaini]

Now this a perfect example of a good session drummer, you did not take away the essence of the song (yes like what the others have said about the cowbell) while grooving to the song without overdoing your bit.


I've seen and worked with a lot of drummers, whilst they're actually good, many tried overdoing their chops too much it's kinda ruining the song. Some well renowned drummers I've seen, all they care about is the consistency and precision, and they'd sound tighter than drummers who do fancy fills and stick tricks.

[StanleyRodgers]

This guy has studio/touring drummer written all over him. Lay back and play for the song? Check! This is outstanding.
