Watch in HD!!! This is a drum cover for 'Heavy Is The Head That Falls With The Weight Of A Thousand Thoughts' by Loathe.
Loathe is definitely one of my favorite bands, and this was my favorite song when I first heard them. I believe it was the first song I heard by Loathe, and I've wanted to cover it for some time now. I'm incredibly excited to hear new music from them.
It's been a struggle this year keeping up with video content. I've been crazy busy with session work and other work in general, and making drum videos has definitely taken a back seat. I'm also slowly chipping away at another solo EP, and I'm really excited to start posting more about that in the future. I still need to track and record everything, produce, mix, vocals, etc... But, another EP is definitely in the works, and I can't wait to finish everything.
