Video Anup Sastry - Aesop Rock - Rings Drum Cover

Watch in HD!!!!!!!!!!! This is a drum cover/jam to an Aesop Rock song called 'Rings'. Its off of the album titled 'The Impossible Kid'. I've been a HUGE fan of Aesop Rock for such a long time, and I've wanted to do something like this for some time now.

I had a lot of fun tracking this video. The groove in the song is really relaxed, and there's a lot of place for some subtle embellishments. I may have went a bit overboard with some of the transitions and fills, but I was still happy with how this video turned out.

Here's what Im using in this video.

Tama Starclassic Birch Bubinga in Lacquered White Oyster

10" x 8" Rack Tom
14" x 14" Floor Tom (Left)
16" x 14" Floor Tom (right)
22" x 16" Kick Drum
14" x 6" Brass Starphonic Snare

Meinl Cymbals (from left to right):

- 13" Byzance Extra Dry Medium Hi Hats
- 18" Byzance Medium Crash
- 22" Byzance Symmetry Ride
- 18" Byzance Extra Dry Thin Crash
- 18" Byzance China and 16" Mb10 Medium Crash (stack)

I'm using Vic Firth Metal's.

I use Remo Emperor Clear's on tom batter heads, Remo Ambassador Clear's on tom resonant heads, a Powerstroke 3 on the kick batter, a Coated Controlled Sound for the snare batter, and a Clear Emperor Hazy for the snare resonant.

Enjoy!
