      He seems totally in control of the instrument; the way he swings sounds like he's improvising yet he literally got all of the parts right (with couple of his own tasteful twists here and there). Great work!

    Allow me to explain something about this. We have cars with a lot of technology now days. Drummers cheat all the time as well with hi hats every where and drums even up their ass. Cymbals not to mention we could wear them as hats.....this guy is the Raw Bad Ass as Drummer as a 1968 Camaro . Just plane jane on your face. 👍👍👍. I know what I am talking about.

    @hugolafhugolaf Před 7 lety +1

    What I absolutely love about this cover is the fact that (despite what some say on here) that it is NOT a note-for-note cover, far from it actually. Rather, Brandon made it his own, by reproducing Nicko's awesome track at times, and tastefully improvising his own fills/beats in lieu of Nicko's at other times.
    Simply put, this cover is a grandiose tribute to one of Maiden's best songs and Nicko's finest works, played by a very, very talented guy who is immersed in his art and reminds us that you don't need a huge kit to make a big impression.
    Well done!

For me, mind-blowing drumming until this day, after all those years. @Brandon Bolt: Your cover is amazing, you really nailed those tripple and quadrupple kicks AND: You made this sound really full, even without a massive multi-tom and multi-cymbal Nicko-sized kit. Great job. Up the Irons! ;)

    Probably one of the best drum cover that i've ever seen! Man, you decreased the drum kit in epic proportions! Awesome!

    This drummer makes 200% use of his kit. Drummeria Maximus, you know, like the Roman god of drumming. Cheers!
    In the unlikely event that you don't have a gig at this time, you're hired.
