Usually aliens but very rarely humanbeings can cover this song. Absolutely perfect!

[polymathg]

Incredible technical precision. If you can cover this song this well, you can play just about anything. Bravo!

[kuroken]

I mean, god damn. You're not in the game man, you are the game!

[MikeHiller-xo]

This just popped up in my feed, I totally agree with all the comments how you nailed it! Your playing style is awesome! I loved the different double base iterations throughout the song!

[DDubs]

As a Tama player it was awesome to hear this song on a Tama kit and a gorgeous one at that. Superb cover, you nailed it and then some. Well done!

[klauspedrini-ped-drumcover]

Super, auch ein verdammt guter Snare-Sound.

[rey]

You have performed a difficult task with such skill and grace that it appears simple and effortles

[jwoodhouse]

one of the best drum covers I have seen - Amazing job man! Can we all take a moment to appreciate the quality of the recording as well...nailed it!

[adamjj]

Always great to hear the Mangini era songs with actual good sounding drums! ;)

[TheHiton]

[barrywright]

All I can say is DAYUM! Been playing all my life this guy is effortlessly playing this!

[Drumsholic]

Amazing cover!! Excellent memorizing and performance!!!

[MichaelJones-plxh]

This is a perfect Manginiesque cover of the Alien, stellar job my man!

[senotejogu]

Good job... The Balance of the sound and drums... Perfect

[sevenhamzah]

Incredibly crazy bro!
Congrats to your cover which wouls be the best The Alien drum cover or interpretation ever!

But after hearing the most likely same pattern on TAMA I just realized why MM are using pearl and meinl. I felt like MM just profoundly understanding what pearl and meinl combination could produce which require certain composition to blow it up.

[josvelgarcia]

Ver como se desborda talento hace q cresca el deseo de tocar este gran instrumento Espectacular brother.... Animo sube mas videos.... Espectacular tu

[deantalbotdrums]
