Each video on this channel features a high-quality audio and video recording in which I perform a song in its entirety. I strive to capture the energy and spirit of the original track, emulating and paying homage to legendary drummers, and adding my own interpretation when appropriate. All drums are played live by me, Matthew Huskey, and no triggering is used.

I strive to inspire and teach other players. I want to share my knowledge and experience with others who are passionate about drumming. Hopefully, I can contribute in my own small way in the continuing process of inspiring a new generation of drummers to continue the legacy of this incredible instrument.

So if you're a fan of music and drumming, or just looking for some great covers to add to your playlist, be sure to subscribe to this channel and join me on this journey to create the best drum covers on YouTube!
