Slipknot - "The Virus of Life" drum cover by Allan Heppner http://www.facebook.com/allanheppnerdrums Twitter @aheppnerdrums Instagram @allanheppner This is my personal drum cover-exclusive channel. Check out my official drum/music channel at: http://www.youtube.com/allanheppnerdrums So this one is pretty straight forward as well. Any flubs are minor (flam a part, missing the first part of a missing trying to remember it, etc). Grimey tune :p. I also tried to refrain from overcompensating for any overdubs/layering just to keep it clean and consistent, like not playing some of the marching snare that comes in periodically. When covering Slipknot, it's kinda up to you whether or not you want to compensate for the 2 other percussionists. That goes double so if there are Joey overdubs. Oh, and there's the part from 3:28-3:35 where I'm heavy accenting the kick and hitting left floor tom with the meat of my hand and the butt of the stick. The kick on the recording sounded huge on that single hit, so I thought I'd try that as a way to match it. Anyways, that's pretty much it for this album! Just a short and sweet part next! Thanks for watching! Have a good'r!
