Mastodon - The Motherload // Johnkew Drum Cover

This one is long overdue. Last year I played along to this song to get my chops back after a drumming hiatus, and I planned on recording it then. More than a year later, and I was telling a friend how hilarious the music video for this song is, and I remembered how great of a song this is.

How Brann can sing and drum this arrangement is beyond me. Although what is maybe not so apparent is that Brann really went all out on the drums for the studio version. No fill is repeated twice, and there are MANY fills. If fills were repeated over and over, it would get stale real quick. But he freshens up the orchestration and dynamics throughout, so that it's almost hard to tell how crazy he's playing. It's a real shredder to play on the drums, and an absolute blast.

Thanks for watching, and if you feel so inclined please leave feedback and share.
