Turn The Page by Bob Seger - Drum Cover and Special Tribute to an old friend from long ago.
Переглядів 4,3 тис.Рік тому
This drum cover of Bob Segers "Turn the Page" is a special tribute to Loretta (Lori) D. McGonigal. Back in the mid 80s, this song had great meaning to Lori and I. Sadly, I learned that she recently passed away from stage 4 lung cancer. Some people come along at different points in your life that totally change your life forever. For me, during that time, Lori was that person. For the last 37 ye...
Flying the Tecnam Echo P92 MKII into Venice (VNC) for lunch.
Переглядів 2,5 тис.2 роки тому
One thing I love about being a licensed pilot is flying to a distant airport for lunch. We refer to this as the "hundred dollar hamburger." I flew from Winter Haven (GIF) down to Wauchula (CHN) and picked up a friend Mike, who is also a licensed pilot. From there we flew southwest to Venice (VNC) for lunch. This video picks up as we approach the gulf from the east. I love flying into Venice bec...
Sounds of Silence by Disturbed - Drum Remix by Bill - Laurin Drums/Alesis/Zildjian Hybrid kit.
Переглядів 38 тис.2 роки тому
OK, Over the years I have watched hundreds, perhaps thousands of drum cover videos on UA-cam. The one that moves me the most is a drum remix to Sounds of Silence by Disturbed done by Beats by Jay (Jason Ozant). I have watched that video many, many times over the last 5 years and am always moved by it. Now, while I am nowhere near, not even close to Jay's level of talent I just had to give this ...

As mentioned in today's shout out vid earlier today, after this cover, I will be taking a break. I have been releasing covers every Sunday for over 3 years now and I have literally covered every song I ever dreamed of covering. Its literally becoming difficult to find songs I want to cover. Pushing out a cover every single week takes a LOT of effort and I just need a break. I will likely be put...

Gypsy by Rumors of Fleetwood Mac - Drum Cover (Modified Alesis/Laurin Drums/Zildjian Hybrid kit)
Man thats just the track, not the Alesis kit... I have one here, Crimson II... Cant hear you, even if you are playing...
Great job! You managed to catch the noise gated sound of Phil Collins pretty well!
Would you like a job?
where are the ghost notes
Just received mine! Quality build, graphics and triggering.
Woah extended version. Hi Bill, great channel !
Great job Bill ! I have not seen any of your vids lately. Is everything ok? I remembered when you shouted out my Elton John song a few years back , called Someone Saved My Love Tonight. I redid that song and would like your opinion. Thank you, and again, I hope you are doing well my friend. ua-cam.com/video/vFGZyM9dsug/v-deo.html
Simple yet so beautiful
Great!
Such a GREAT iconic song originally performed by FLEETWOOD MAC But it also went onto to used in the start of ALL F1 races & STILL continues to this day. AWESOME!!!!! So much POWER in this song & no matter who does the lead vocals (;originally LYNDSY BUCKHAM Sadly they'll never have his tone or POWER. But, most support groups don't even try fair enough that's their perogative. & i got nothing personally against that. As long as they perform it well & as close to originality as possible musically that's fine with me. 😉 Only one group i have heard sounded absolutely DREADFUL!!! That is by ....Florence & the machine version WORSE!!! than a cat's quire believe it is that BAD!!!! 😡😡😡😡👎👎👎👎🤢🤢🤢💩💩💩 That's my own personal opinion of it. Others are far better almost perfect. Flory DON'T EVER!!!! attempt to cover other performers songs.
Happy New Year dear Bill😊
Thank you. Happy New Year to you as well.
You are the best my Big Brother!! Great works!! Love and respect Kyle!! 😊🥁🇵🇭
Hey Bill! I know this is a classic video at this point but I'm just finding it now and it's so satisfying seeing you tucked into the open air pilots' seat from the wing perspective. Super cool!!👍
Oh man that challenger was a blast to fly. Like riding a Harley but better lol. Thanks so much for watching. Happy New Year.
Is there I certain type of spitter needed? I have the Hosingin audio video cable , it’s not giving me the rim shot for my toms?
Very gay song. Are you showing the nation your appreciation for your retardation? It's retardastic and bombastic. So stupid.
Elle King! Boss!
Have you ever played the Alesis Crimson Strike Pro Setup? It’s pretty sweet 🥁
I absolutely love your set up your stage your lighting. I love it.
Why have you not uploaded in a year? Are you OK Mr. Wild Bill 🥁
HI there, All is well. I literally covered every song I could ever imagine and just decided to call it quits and move on to some other hobbies. It was a great run and had a LOT of fun during this time. Thanks so much.
Kenny Jones had some big shoes to fill he did a hell of a job as did you 🥁Wild Bill on the drums 🥁👍
Saw about 7 covers before yours. You’re the FIRST person who’s actually on beat. GOOD JOB!
Hey thanks so much for stopping by and for the kind words. Much appreciated.
I'm a little late to the party, but love this cover. You absolutely nailed it! Could I ask where you found the drumless version? I'd love to be able to play along to it too. Any help would really be greatly appreciated :)
I watch and follow you. Your very talented. Because of your video, I can play the song for my girlfriend. Thank you.
Owwwww nice .....it's an excellent cover
Thank you so much for watching and for the kind words
Excellent job my friend 👍🤜🥁🤛👍!!!!
Nice job mixing it and making it your own. Out of curiosity, what did you use to post-process? I'm assuming this isn't one of Alesis' out of the box kits. When I had an Alesis kit, I always had to use something in post, like Superior Drummer, to really make the song kick. Also, are you left-handed?
Thanks so much for watching. I download samples of kits I like and import them into the Alesis module then assign them to the pads I want. I tried Superior Drummer once but the lag drove me nuts so i just import direct sounds instead. No lag. Yes i am left handed. Good eye!
@@DrumCoversbyBill too much latency can be a real pain in the butt. Honestly, it's probably the electronics module on the Alesis. I had issues like you've explained on my old Strike Pro. My Roland kit never has any latency (at least not anything noticeable). I could tell on the left-handed bit. I am left handed too, and I noticed you would lead with your left hand as you worked around the kit. I played for over a year before an instructor told me the same thing, "You're a lefty aren't you?" It was initially a hassle to force myself to do it, but once I learned to lead with my first stroke being my right hand, it made a world of difference when working from the snare, to the rack toms, to the floor tom. It unleashed a great deal of speed. Keep on rocking!
Got you another sub and may I ask if you take request and the tempo was great
Thanks so much for stopping by and for the sub. What song did you have in mind?
@@DrumCoversbyBill Stars over Texas Tracy Lawrence plz or alibis by tracy Lawrence
WOW -- that is great! Am trying to find a drum tab (am new to drumming). Would you have one? would you be comfortable sharing?
Thanks so much for stopping by and leaving a comment. If I had one Id gladly share it however, th9s one i play by memory being the huge Seger fan I am.
@@DrumCoversbyBill thx I'll just give it a go :) Thx for reply
Great job sounds just like em, the female on voices damn
Can you drum to made in England which is another Elton John song
Does it work with the Alesis Strike Pro Module?
Bill, this is totally excellent ❤
Sounds fine
wow. great !! I am happy to hear this misic^^ so much thanks
You didn't play them...what was the point?
First ,we cant hear your kit,second,listen to song carefully,bad fills,bad timing With ride,From a drummer to another,this is average,I dont get it all those Positive comments!lol
Its a drumless track so not sure how you cant hear my kit lol. Checked out your channel, didnt see any drumming videos. Was hoping maybe you can show me how its done 🤣😂. Thanks for watching and for the engagement.
Hi Bill I was watching and noticed that the hihat cymbal kinda flopped and moved a lot. Was this due to you not tightening down the clamp or did the cymbal always move around? Thanks and love all the videos!
Thanks so much for watching. The flop was minimized once I got everyrhing dialed in. In retrospect i should have spent a little more time dialing in the cymbal and properly mounting it. I did end up naking slight changes in rhe modules settings to make it more sensitive and increase the sound quality to use in cover videos.
@@DrumCoversbyBill Thanks so much! I’m looking forward to ordering my stuff from Laurin!
i have alesis and its quite outside of the kick drum was wanting to know if the kickdrum from Laurin is mesh or the rubber type pad like the alesis, i live in a apt so anything i can do to keep the noise down helps
Hi there. The kick has a mesh head on both sides
Good job Billy. How are you mate? I hope you are ok. A big hug.
Hi Bill , I’ve recently purchased an alesis crimson mesh kit but the hi hat I definitely want to upgrade. How has the hi hat controller from Laurin drums held up over the years?
Wow
Hi, did you used vst's?
I download samples from various kits and install them directly into the drum module and assign them to the appropriate pads.
@@DrumCoversbyBill nice.. Where do you get this kits.. Im looking to buy one for my church and i really think that you sounds are awsome
Crushed it, as always! :D
Whoa, my hands got a little sweaty :D
So I have the Alesis DM10 MKII and got a splitter to add cymbal. But I can’t get it to work right. When I hit the head I also hear the cymbal too. It’s really annoying. But when I hit the cymbal (rim) that part works fine. Nothing works to stop the rim bleed when you hit the head.
Holy crap! Talk about a deluded “performance”!! Either learn to twirl your sticks properly or don’t do it at all and ffs relax your shoulders 🙄 As for the sound and visual editing 🤦🏻♂️
MUITO BOM !!!! WOOOOWWWW 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Drums amazing!
Thanks so much for watching
NICE! Very good at making it look like your playing with the band! It's fun to pretend to be a rock star isn't it?
Happy New year Bill,Take care of yourself!Neil
