- I have been trying to record some highly requested songs lately and this one has been at the top of the list! One of my favorite (Pop/Blues/A Capella) bands of the 80's. They are still going strong and recently released a new album! Bands like this that stand the test of time are worth covering IMO :)
I do not own any rights to the music and share this video for entertainment purposes only.
Thanks - Hudba
Holy crap you genuinely can't get any cooler than this dude right here. Props to you🙏
“In 87’, Huey released this, ‘Fore!’, their most accomplished album! I think their undisputed masterpiece is “Hip to Be Square”, a song so catchy, most people probably don’t listen to the lyrics! But they should, because it’s not just about conformities and the importance of trends, it’s also a personal statement about the band themselves! Hey Paul!!”
Third time I’ve gotten that comment 😂
Hey, why are there copies of style all over the place...you have a dog, a chow or something?
@@then00brathalos ha, no Allen!
@@andrewburgemeister6684 Is that a raincoat?
@@Iamj4red YES IT IS!
done and dusted good job
Very nice ! Let's see Paul Allen's drum cover.
2:47 - thumbs up 4 the epic twirl!! 8-D
I have to thank American Psycho forever for showing me one of my favorite songs.
You rocked on that cover my friend, sounds outstanding!
Standing ovation!
If i wore a hat i would take it off to this guy, raw talent from a Genie Bottle. 😊😊😊😊
Your sense of timing is impeccable-almost like a metronome. Well freakin’ done! 👏🏿
That’s a huge compliment thanks! Many years of practice and playing along with albums certainly helps! Cheers
My dream kit
Whoa! Lefty
Actually I’m a righty who taught himself to also lead with my left hand. It’s tricky but possible with a lot of practice!
@@mfournier01 I was wrong.
Awesome
Very good groove and timing.
DUDE you rocked that cover Huey Lewis is one of my favorite groups and I've jonesin for someone to do a cover of this song you fuckin' killed it and I love the multiple angles in the cameras it was absolutely wickedly cool
Well done! I'm working on this song now on the drums, and this helps.
That was money 💰
goes to show that no one needs Paiste, Sabian, Zildjian, Gretsch, Tama, Remo to make great music and to entertain. I was entertained. Just raw ability, talent and hard hard work. Bill Gibson is proud!
Ooooo! You threw in some fancy flourishes!😏
I know I've said this before, but the thing I love about watching you play, is how smoothly you transition from open handed playing, to crossed. Awesome stuff brochacho
Thanks very much Steve. I went through a phase where I was big into DMB and after seeing the amazing Carter Beuford play open handed I was like 🤔 there’s something to this. Fast forward about 10 years and I can hold a beat fairly well leading lefty. Fills are a whole other challenge but I’ve still got some time left lol! As you well know, you don’t improve if you don’t challenge yourself. Have you ever tried it?
@@mfournier01 agreed! Love DMB and Carter! Yeah I actually play open handed quite a bit, and it's something I teach/instill in all my students. Not sure why I don't do it more when I am filming my covers. Probably just automatically go to what I know I am most confident with
Amazing job man!❤
1:22 goose bumps.
amazing!!
Very hip!
And maybe a bit square even lol! Glad you enjoyed it. Cheers!
Nice Bro! HL&N had some great songs back in the day, and you knocked this one out of the park!! Drums are looking badass btw! 💯👍
Drums look badass, I’m not so much lol...Thanks for sticking with me brother!
Yea man, love... watched an interview with Huey Lewis on AXSTV... the other day... didn’t realize he’s lost hearing in both ears now. Great cover man, love the energy and the great playing

good job brother
Dude! Not only is it hip to be square, its hip to watch your covers! HA! You told me several days ago that a new cover was going to drop soon with drum software and a new DAW, so you have PROVEN to be a man of your word! Thanks for covering my favorite HLN tune. The upgrades are fantastic!
Ahhh yes my friend! It was YOUR fault I shelled out $ to upgrade the kit haha 😆! Kidding of course. So little secret...This was done by using my TD20X preset that I carried over to the TD30 but then changed the snare and a few cymbals, added some big reverb, and voila! I did get the software and DAW and have been battling a few challenges like latency and of course, learning how to use everything! So in the interim I’m still recording module sounds. But hang with me m. I’m an old dog and these are new tricks 😂. Cheers bro
@@mfournier01 Yes, I freely and happily admit I coerced you into a spending spree HOWEVER it was money well spent! HA!! Keep up the OUTSTANDING work!
Thanks "I Like The Open Hand"
Open hand was challenging at first but comes pretty easy after a few years! Thanks for watching🤘
So damn smooth and the kit sounds are so killer Mike. Absolutely love the percussion adds dude! You've got an Ace left hand bro. This is fantastic.
Thanks Trey! Just a straight forward fun tune to drum to! Thanks for checking it out✌️👍
I dig HLN! One of my favorite concerts. You nailed the energy and nuances of this song, great performance! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🍻🍻🍻
Thanks so much brother! Love Bill Gibson’s no nonsense straight ahead rock style!
Ah, another cover from my favorite drummer 😎 That song brings back good memories, wasn’t it part of a movie? Anyways, do you notice any difference in response or feel on the TD30? I often felt that the hats react smoother. Great stuff again, Mike - take care & stay safe! 🤘🏼
(By the way: I think this Like was the 1000th like I gave on CZcams, so „Hooray“ 😁)
Hey Mike thanks for checking it out! So the 30 feels similar but the dynamics are definitely a tad better. The new cymbals and snares are the biggest improvements and of course the usb our which I’m still working on 😉. 1000 likes! I’m privileged! Hopefully I’ll still be around when you hit 10,000. Thank you as well for your ongoing help. I’m going to keep working on the time delay but for now I’m just having fun with the new sounds! Cheers
You asked if this was in a movie Mike. It was in American Psycho starring Christian Bale.
Really hip drumming. What a groove machine you are.Yet another SF Bay Area band - gosh there are so many well known ones from that fertile are.
Good vibe! Next. :-)
YES! this is going on my playlist!
Thank you!
Cool Thanks Rob! I’m always flattered to be added to anyone’s watch list. Glad it’s worthy of another replay! Cheers! Stay safe bro
I love this!!
Loved it!! Huey’s track are a lot of fun to play, it shows in the performance👍😎
For sure Jim! He’s still recording new stuff too and I believe the band is still the original members! Thanks for checking it out 👍
This is so good i love the multi camera angles :)
Nice. Great cover my good dude.
Not the usual metal but fun to play nonetheless! Hope you are getting through this pandemic without too much boredom brother. What do u do for work if you don’t mind me asking?
@@mfournier01 Yea man. The News were good. They rocked out. Can't shoot down a band that had multiple hits. I'm retired. I was with the Utility Workers Union of America since I was 18 as a Level 1 Industrial Maintenance Mechanic and a Grade 3 Hazardous Materials Specialist. Did my 30+ and out 🤘due to some health issues. Myself and my family are ok. Hanging in there. It's pretty bad around my area of PA. Hope you and and yours are doing well. Appreciate you asking my good dude.
Love this song! Nice cover sir!
That snare sounds fantastic
He can book at Dorsia now
Cool song and you rocked it! Love all the video work too, not to mention the shades are cool lol :D
Nothing better than the 80’s music! Brother love your editing in the video, the four squares was so flippin awesome! I didn’t realize the kick was so busy in this tune. Phenomenal feel and love the spins, while opened and closed handed. You have the perfect sound and you are so dead on dialed in!!! Oh yeah almost forgot, those single stamped tom hits were so FAT! Pumped me up!!!💪 Michael I hope you and your family are doing well and staying healthy. So ready for this craziness to get behind us. Have a wonderful week homie!👍👊✌️💪😁
You know it Steve! 80’s was all about the hair and the music! At least we still have the music 😂. Yeah some cool kick drum fills in this tune. Bill Gibson was not flashy but always solid and original. You can always hear his style coming through in the music. I have big respect for that! Stay well to hermano! Cheers👍🤟🥁🎼🕹
This looks like a lot of fun! Fun to watch. Great job!
Hey Steph! Thanks for watching! Not the usual style but I do love me some Huey Lewis! Just straight forward catchy rock and roll with a signature sound that nobody can match:)
@@mfournier01 - I just took up the drums. Maybe I will be at your level when i am 60!
Whoa man nice! really great sound and drum cover my man!
Thank you sir! I always have fun jamming some HL! Hope you are staying safe and getting some extra drum time in!
Hi, I got to your video as a CZcams recommendation, and really glad it was! I don't know anything about playing the drums but I watched your whole video and just dreamed I could play like this. Many thanks... just subscribed too! 👍
Wow thank you Danny! I’m always flattered to be an influence on anyone. If you do decide to play...Take some lessons to get the basics, watch and learn as many styles/drummers you can, and most of all...Stay humble! There’s always someone better, faster, younger out there but have fun!! Cheers
Nice! Just a little thing: like most HLN's songs Bill Gibson usually play 4 on the floor on the kick in most Choruses! Cheers
You are correct! However when a recorded another take doing that it was drowning out that fat snare sound so I chose to leave it out. Also added the random percussion just for fun. I did get the huge verb sound from the snare and toms to match the album!
@@mfournier01 the snare sound it's stunning. It sounds like the original
@@LoopConnection If possible can you explain what '4 on the floor on the kick' means? Thanks
@@dvelilla it means that you play the kick on everybeat of the song, not just on the 1 and 3, but also on 2 and 4. It's the disco pattern originally called "4 on the floor" and if you listen carefully almost every Huey Lewis and The News' song has this pattern on every chorus and sometimes even in the verses.
I want a new drug is steady 4 on the floor from the beginning to end
There is no four on the floor for this song though I thought...
Haha, nice quarantine beard.😆 I got one going as well and I doubt you'll be able to see it before I do another cover. Another great cover on a classic song! I saw Huey live back in '84, still remember the show to this day!
😂 yeah as soon as I didn’t have to be all presentable are work I figured what the heck! I was lucky enough to see them live around 2004 I believe. My work used to have a conference every two years. They would rent out the Coronado Springs resort in FL and fly about 3200 employees down for a work/play 4 day event. The last night there they hired Huey and the boys to play the huge event room for just us! I was bull shitting with Bill after the show over gin and tonics! Good times...
You are using a new module here? Sounds great and your drumming is always freakin awesome Mike!!
Sensational Mike!! 👏 Love these guys, it’s an amazing album. That my friend was quality playing at its finest! You make it look so easy the way you flow around the kit. Absolute pleasure to watch as always! Those sounds you create on the module are the ducks nuts 👌 Everything sounded so good, the snare in particular. Whatever you do, keep doing it! Is there one setting on the module you play around with that gives you the most bang for your buck?? Or is it a combination of things? You should do a tutorial video on how you dial in your sounds 👍
Hey Badger! A big thanks to you and the ducks nuts haha! So I’ve been fiddling with the Td-20X going on 12 years now and I’ve pretty much figured it out. So I just updated to the TD30 and retained all of my 20 builds so work not lost. I love the new snare, Tom, and cymbal sounds! This kit was a 20 preset but I stole the snare from the 30. I can’t say there’s one peticilar trick. It’s rather tedious but I listen to a song and just dial in each instrument until it’s close, then fine tune (literally) the tuning, eq, reverb, etc until I’m happy with it. Getting the sound takes much longer than recording the tracks but once I save a kit it’s there forever and I’ll usually record a few songs to have some variety. Thought about doing a tutorial...maybe a new project if I’m out of work in May as well!
mfournier01 I have a TD30 as well, awesome module - I’ve not really looked at the in-built TD20X library so I must do that! I hope you’re not out of work too much longer, but at the same time a tutorial would be great! 😉
"Impressive, very nice..., let see Paul Allen's Drum"
From sesame street
Lets see Paul Allens drum cover
Love your playing! My favourite drummer on CZcams. Seeing as you're a Huey fan, could you try covering my favourite tune by HLN "Perfect World"?!
An awesome song with great horns and one of Huey's most unappreciated as well (it reached #3 on the charts but soon plummeted to obscurity).
And take care Mike!
Thanks brother! I’ve played most HL tunes including Perfect World! Maybe I’ll cover it this tear but now I have a huge list of other bands/ song requests I have to get through! I’ll try my best tho bro 😎😆
Also noticed you are using a TD-30 module now?
Bryan Kouba Bryan Kouba yes, IT’S the td30 now. Fine module, but the td20X IT’S fine module too... Good interpretation. Mike, What programa you’re using for record?
So I just upgraded on eBay to have the newest cymbal and snare sounds. It retained all of the 20X kits and reloaded them into the 30! Best of both worlds. I’m actual using my Huey preset from the 20 which is why it’s in the title. It started as a Vexpressions kit from the Gigging Kits pack but I changed the snare and ride and cranked up the reverb in the snare and toms.
Great cover! Perfect sounding drums!
Could you please tell me where you found the drumless version of this song? I've looked everywhere and can only find drumless "cover" versions. Thanks :)
Thanks for the positive feedback! I actually made my own drum less track using Xtrax Stems software. You can buy it and create unlimited tracks on your own!
Thank you so much for replying so fast! And thank you for the advice on the editing program. I'm definitely going to check it out. It could really open up a whole new world for me. I have so many songs I'd love to play along to, but limited to whatever I can find on CZcams and the net.
So thankyou again, really appreciate your help. Subscribed :)
@@phoon74 happy to help and thanks for the sub! Hit hard and often!
What settings/ kit is used on de td20
