I'm here every single day (no shitting bro, I'm serious) listening your zankyou and gurenge drum cover, which I consider the BEST COVER on youtube, period. Peace bro and move forward, you are the best and God has wonderful things to do in your life. Best Regards from Brasil (with "S" no "Z")
Que hp...... se ve como disfruta el tocar la bateria, mis respetos, hasta yo me contagie del entusiasmo del baterista, felicitaciones. 100/10 al baterista
All I say is that all your videos make drummers like me and venturing to be a drummer make them want to be you. Inspiring them is the most important thing you do for us. Thank you and stay safe always.
Wow man this video resonated with me so deeply. Everything you talked about here has been exactly my experience. Knowing how it feels, I'm really sorry to hear that this is what you've been going through. Even though I know you, drumpat, drumstick, and kerlos know me, I'm not even that big of a channel so I don't know if anyone else in the anime drum cover sphere is familiar with me. I've been doing anime drum covers for years and prior to maybe 2021 or 2022, I would pretty consistently see channel growth and amounts of views that kept me motivated to keep posting. However, over the last few years I've been slowly seeing what I can only describe as the death of my channel no matter how much effort I put in. I've tried literally everything and I just can't make the video performance I'm seeing make any rational sense. I've put intense amounts of pressure on myself to have the best video, audio quality, and tightest playing that I can possibly produce. For a while I obsessed over learning songs note for note but felt like it was honestly ruining my enjoyment of playing drums. Like Matt Halpern has said we're supposed to be PLAYING drums. Playing should invoke the idea of having fun so I tried to just relax and let myself improvise a bit or play my own fills while still being 99% faithful to the original drum part. I've tried to be as early as possible to post covers sometimes learning songs on my practice pad in the middle of the night so that I could try to post covers less than 24 hours after the song released. That didn't seem to make a difference so I finally told myself it was ok if I was a few days late all in an effort to try to make posting covers fun again. I can say that I want to post covers for fun to myself all I want but deep down I know a huge part of that fun was feeling like people were seeing my performance and interacting with people in the comments. I've come to the conclusion that it isn't necessarily that anime isn't as popular anymore, in fact I think it's more accepted and popular than it ever has been, but that 1. covers across all instruments are a dying video type and that 2. old channels seem to be more impacted by this. I've seen some newer channels still put up consistently good numbers and experience growth doing the same anime drum covers. I've gotten to the point where I'm seriously contemplating starting a new channel because it seems like my old channel is just invisible at this point. Interesting to see channels that I'm familiar with all chime in with similar sentiments. I realize I'm way late to this video but I thought I'd share my experience with you as a fellow drummer. I've always enjoyed interacting with you and hope you're doing well 7 months after this video was posted!
