    #QuicklyCovered is a really simple idea: I ask you guys to suggest and vote for a song you want me to cover, and then I learn it, cover it, film it and finish it before the day is over. It forces me to move really fast and removes the temptation to over-think - kind of like the old days of CZcams when I just started uploading covers :) This was fun. More to come.

      Yeah I would hope he would mix those in more, this is obviously a show of technique, but mixing in things that fit and complement the song are a part of drumming as well. Not saying he can't do it, but that is pleasurable to the ear and heart. This is more a drum highlight.

    1:08 made me lol. Covers of songs you wouldn’t expect are usually my favorite. Like the Kesha cover haha. Nicely done as always.
