Seventh Son of a Seventh Son - Drum Cam (Iron Maiden cover)
#ironmaiden #drumcam #heavymetal
Seventh Son of a Seventh Son
Live from State Theatre, June 1 2024
This one way too fun to play! Epic of the epics. Lots of fun sections with interesting grooves and the beautiful, ominous breakdown in the middle.
The hard part about playing Nicko for me has always been the fact that he plays in a very improvisatory style. Meaning he rarely plays things as exact or deliberate as Clive, Portnoy, or Peart for example. So while it does leave room for intepretation, it makes it difficult sometimes to figure out what he's actually playing. So as much as a purist as I am, there's no way I'm getting all the notes that Nicko plays. I like to think I'm doing my own, true to the original, based on what I hear.
We also play this to a click because of the keyboard track. That's what I'm hitting at the beginning and why I'm focused on starting right with the countoff:)
Some cool things to listen for/drum things:
-The single pedal 16th notes he throws in the verses here and there.
-The left hand syncopations on the hh then crashes before each prechorus
-The use of toms in the verse and prechoruses
-The pacing of the 16th hihats in the interlude section. After the quick cymbal swell and choke, the hihats have to start really subtle. Driving the whole time.
-The proggy section during the guitar solo...while I'd normally count this out and know exactly what's going on, I have not bothered at all. I learned this by feel and just know how it lines up (or not) with the click. If you want to transcribe it, by all means! I do know it's a group of 10 or 11 quarters notes depending on how you think of it.
-In the outro there are some more cool single pedal moments - this time as 8th notes since it's double time. And a nice little syncopated ride pattern he does literally once very slyly.
-The ending unison notes have the bass drum in between each group of snare notes while the hihats play 8th notes throughout.
Hope you enjoy it!

#ironmaiden #drumcam #heavymetal Fear of the Dark Tally Ho Theater Feb 2, 2024 I wouldn't call this the hardest Maiden song in the world to play, but everything is hard in its own way. The key is more keeping the momentum going and finding the right push and pull spots throughout the different sections of the song. It's not all the same tempo if you put a metronome to those sections. It's fun t...

I remember taking a drum lesson on this song when I was about 13. I'm not sure I understood anything of what was said to me, but I think I still have it written down somewhere. The key to this groove is the 4 on the floor bass drum and playing all the in...

#metalchurch #kirkarrington #drumcover Kirk Arrington was one of my biggest influences growing up along with Neil Peart. Being able to meet Kirk a few times (see pics at end of video), especially at an early age when just starting to play drums, I probably felt more of a connection with him than most drummers I admired. The first 3 albums (tapes!) were in constant rotation as I tried to mimic w...

Fantastic cover and energy!
Do you happen to have a midi file of this piece?
I have a piano accompaniment, but don't I have one of the solo.
🤘🏼
Damn! Another favorite of mine! 🤘🏼

Awesome, Deech! 🤘🏼Always loved this jam!

What's the name of that song I know it's by iron maiden what album is it off from them
Prowler - first song off the debut album!
I LOVE TWISTED SISTER 🤘🤘🤘
Metal church for instalting
How did you get up there. I'm going to London in late September, and this is one of my Beatle stops.
I got really lucky...I was kind of persistent and begged a little. I really don't know...they were gracious enough to let me up!
Are you playing bass drum in the video of the US Navy band playing Stars and Stripes Forever? I thought I recognized you!
It’s possible! Not exactly sure what video you’re referring to, but I was in the band for 21 years.
Fuck Yeah
Thanks very much Cris ! It's a dream play this music - one goal ! rsrs
You can do it! 💪
The world is too mediocre and full of itself to honor great artists like Bartok while they are still alive. It is only after the artists have died that the world wakes from its stupefied slumber and begins to appreciate the richness the artists have left behind.
Fantastic ../🥁🔥
Thank you! 🤘🏻
Adam Pascal. Vocal Icon.
Indeed!
The acual song in concerts are shit
Splitting your soul in that many pieces to play Rite of Spring? Voldemort has nothing on you...
🤘😆🤘
Just FANTASTIC presentation. Kudos
Thank you so much!
Is that Adam Pascal?
Yes!
Nice job. Always loved Caffs playing. He does Criss serious justice. Nobody beats Jon and Ray on the vocals.
Seriously!! And he can hit some serious vox harmonies :)
Saw these guys live at the cameo theater Miami 🔥😎🔥
Wow! Just wow! Definitely going to watch them here today at the live event of liberation day in Rotterdam !!
Thank you so much I appreciate it! 🤘🏻🙏🏻

Imagining a drummer doing this... one handed low tom roll while doing ride mutes, pretty ridiculous.
멋지다.멋져👍👍👍
My favorite is Stravinsky using SWELLS on the Gong, it sounds so unnatural.
The first time as far as I know!
Sounds awesome Chris Caffery :)
Huh?
Brilliant! Nicko would be proud of you, mate. Up the Irons 🤟🏼
Really appreciate that, thank you! 🙏☝
looks good, where can we find the transcription ?
I don't have mine available yet, only everything from Images and Words. I'm sure you can find it on drumsheetmusic.com but I don't know if I'd trust a lot of what's out there. Even the transcriptions I referred to were pretty off-and one was in a world class drum book...
Thanks!
If you could do this with a metronome/click then that would be great. P.S: Well done 🎉🎉
You mean so you can actually hear the metronome? Never even thought of doing that but would be easy!
@@Deech72 Yes 😂. I’m just curious as to what it would sound like because of all the time signature changes.
@@T.AllansCompositionAdventures It will probably sound very annoying after a while 🤣
😂 yes. It would be great if you could do it though. (If it’s possible obviously).
@@T.AllansCompositionAdventures Making more work for me! But seriously, it's a good idea, why not??
That's the reason why i love heavy metal 😝🤘
This is a glam
🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼🤨
This July 4th hundreds of thousands of Americans sing this in front of the Capital
The best Metal Churchi. 🤘
WHAT?? This is amazing! The vocals are so unique, it sounds like a crowd. You really made this song your own and I love it.
Dude you fucking killed it!!! You hit every little nuance of the drumming, great work bro!!!
Thank you so much. Glad you like it! :)
