    Here it is, the cover you were all asking me for! Even though we barely missed our goal, I really appreciated you guys stepping up and helping me out... there's no way I wasn't going to upload this just because we were 3 subs shy. I hope you guys enjoy this arrangement, it was really fun to play (playing dubstep drops on piano...? not exactly what I learn how to do in my lessons!).
    If you haven't already, go fan me on my facebook page for more frequent updates as well as some fun extras for you to interact with me. Right now there is a poll on my FB profile with four options for all of you to help pick the next song I cover... so go vote!

      I want to think people would bop to it, but there's such a thing as the devil's chords or something like that. I have no idea if or how many piano playing conventions a dubstep song breaks, but it would certainly draw eyebrows

    Here you realize that electronic music is not shit and its more complicated than a lot of people think, also having in consideration djs compose this themselves. The fact skrillex has strange hair and adds strange screams and distorsion to this songs doesnt mean hes not a genius. And this guy is too.

    • @DavidVas0032
      @DavidVas0032 Před 8 lety +11

      I wouldn't personally say someone is a genius for being a certain part of their career. For most things in the world, they can be achieved just by trying. Spending time in courses and practicing can get to a intermediate level. Remember, someone like Einstein advanced the level of understanding amungst all of science and he was regarded as a genius so calling Skrillex and this piano cover-er a genius is actually an insult to real geniuses.

      I know this is a year old but skrillex is basically the guy who made dubstep popular. He did it once again 2 years ago with jack U. I think it is fair to consider skrilex a genius since he basically made a whole new genre of music (I know dubstep existed before skrillex but he defined the genre so much)

    This song on piano without dubstep drops is a very nice song.

    • @ThoolooExpress
      @ThoolooExpress Před 9 lety +2

      Adam Augustyn But he played the drops...

    • @mortevor
      @mortevor Před 9 lety

      Dubstep drobs played on piano sounds a lot less "brutal". Should they be still considered as dubstep drops?

    • @ThoolooExpress
      @ThoolooExpress Před 9 lety +4

      Adam Augustyn I agree they're less brutal. However, I'd still call them drops, because they still fill the same role in the song. It's like how a crescendo is still a crescendo whether it goes from inaudible to blow your ears off or from mezzo-piano to mezzo-forte.

    • @lasarousi
      @lasarousi Před 9 lety

      Adam Augustyn like the other dude said, what everyone calls a drop is like a decrescendo followed by a quick crescendo and change in tune. basic music theory and dubstep surely is not the first one to do it, its more impacting in electronic music because the bass is a lot deeper, but many classical songs have a "drop", vivaldi used it often in his compositions.
