Linus Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 PLEASE, DO NOT MERGE WITH OTHER THREADS!!! (It would ruin the whole idea... kind of) As part of winning the Biggest Will Champion fan award I accidentally promised to do a drum cover for every single Coldplay song that has drums in it. My initial idea for how to do it didn't really work out so I had to do it the easy way... I'll be looking to upload a new cover at least every other day, so keep your eyes open if you like what I'm doing. And I wouldn't mind if you left a comment too, either here in this thread, or on YouTube. Links too all the songs will be posted in this post and they will be sorted in alphabetical order so they are all gonna be easy to find. #1 A Rush Of Blood To The Head (Live) #5 Charlie Brown #8 Clocks #6 How You See The World No.2 #2 Talk #4 Trouble #3 Violet Hill #7 White Shadows Next in line to be recorded/uploaded Shiver Up In Flames Life In Technicolor II Don't Let It Break Your Heart In My Place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linus Posted January 20, 2013 Author Share Posted January 20, 2013 A Rush Of Blood To The Head here is the first cover. I choose this as number 1 because imo this is the best performance of any song ever made :D this cover how ever is not the best, but it's a start :p [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQboH_Lg7As&]Coldplay Drum Cover #1 - A Rush Of Blood To The Head (Live) - YouTube[/ame] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James. Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 I think this thread would be better off in the Instrument Room section :thinking: This sounds like a good project anyway, so good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linus Posted January 21, 2013 Author Share Posted January 21, 2013 Talk This is, in my opinion, the Coldplay song which has the best music video.

Linus Posted January 27, 2013 Author Share Posted January 27, 2013 Charlie Brown realy struggleing to hear the music in this one so it isn't that good :/ [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WKdWh6YFebw]Coldplay Drum Cover #5 - Charlie Brown - YouTube[/ame] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hulsey Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Charlie Brown realy struggleing to hear the music in this one so it isn't that good :/ Coldplay Drum Cover #5 - Charlie Brown - YouTube If you're having trouble with hearing the music then maybe you should listen to your headphones. Record the song that way and then put the mp3 over the video at a volume in which we can hear both the song itself and your drumming. EDIT: This actually seems like a problem in a lot of the videos. Don't get me wrong you sound great, I just can't hear the songs very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linus Posted January 28, 2013 Author Share Posted January 28, 2013 i tried that but it took ages to get it to sync propperly, and when it does sync at the begining of the video it's for some reason a few seconds of at the end of it.... I used Windows Movie Maker when i did it as it's the only free software i could find for doing it, but if you know anything better i'd be more than happy to try it out :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hulsey Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 If you play the music from your laptop with headphones (which does look like they'll reach) then I don't think you'll have that problem. Record yourself sitting back down and turning on the music, timing would be fine then. All you'd need to do from there is slice that first part of the video out (where you sit down) and timing of the song over the video shouldn't be that much of an issue.

Linus Posted January 28, 2013 Author Share Posted January 28, 2013 the problem i have is that when i put the music in to the video afterwards the added MP3 plays slower then what it does when i record... I don't what this is due too but i noticed that the difference in speed was even greater if i played the music from my phone to the headphones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
