Song: "Banquet" Artist: Bloc Party Album: "Silent Alarm" (2005) One of my favorites from my favorite band. This song has also been requested quite a few times. Hope you enjoy!
Essentially this guy displays the difference between knowing the right notes and actually understand what you are meaning to play. Not only did callen play the right notes but he understands what the song is about, the energy one should have whilst playing it and the vibe of the band. Fucking flawless.
100% this. It's so disappointing when people are technically perfect but completely fail to transmit any form of emotion in their covers. This guy clearly doesn't have this problem, he's living the shit out of the song as he's playing it.
He doesn't just play the song. He is in the music and that's passed right on to the way he drums. And always nice to see a fellow ginger rock out like this ;)
I’ve seen BP perform this with various drummers since Matt Tong left, including Sarah Jones. Although I think SJ did a good job and I’m a fan of her ability, I think this might be the closest recreation of the original. This guy nails the fills, is right in the pocket, and is fluid on the hi hat throughout. Just my opinion for what it’s worth.
So please enlighten me: why aren't YOU the new drummer for Bloc Party? They missed out big time by not letting you join! I've watched your clips over and over again and they simply never get less amazing.. Great job, don't ever stop because that is a great skill you've got there!!
@@patrickwhipple3097 Bloc Party has never been "flashy". Even nowadays, they are very introverted. Kele doesn't like interviews, Russel doesn't talk, ever.
@@marb1317 Lol even Matt wasn't all that flashy and still isn't flashy in Algiers. Obviously Matt's playing was flashy but his stage presence and personality weren't
This was my goal for drumming for so long. I finally cracked it thanks to this video and now use it as a warm up before sessions. Big thanks to this super awesome drummer for giving me the inspiration to achieve a dream 👍
I've watched this dozens of times and every time it's better and better. You are unbelievable and make me love this band more and more and make me a love you as an artist more and more
Wow! I remember when this song first came out. I was in college. It was a huge hit. That BP drummer was pretty good on that first album. Great job on the cover!
cool man.. this is a really innnovative band... i always liked them ever since i heard one of their songs on my Playstation 2 snowboarding game years ago... SSX 2 i think it was had a bloc party song and a song by We are Scientiests another cool indy rock band.
not only are you one of the best drummers i've viewed whos putting up covers, but your selection of tunes are also amazing. PROPS and i mean that haha LEGEND!
