Yes, Here I am giving you a review about Cobus Potgieter's drum cover of Careful by Paramore. As you can see I am a great fan of paramore and I can say that this is one of his greatest covers aside from His drum cover of Born for this. He posted this last April 4, 2010 and Now has almost 50,000 views. Him being sponsored by TRX cymbals, Udrum, Jobeky Electronic drums, Samson, Audioshure, and Music Connection you can say that her's a great drummer by having a lot of Sponsors.

He's been a youtube sensation eversince his covers of the past years. And I can see that his style is improving, his control over the drums is great. Me as a musician can really tell that he's very compassionate about his music. 

Now Onto the Review...

I have three categories for my drum cover review: (1)  Style (2) Comparison with the original drums and (3) Overall and final sayings.

I. STYLE

Cobus is very versatile so he can go into what genre in music. He can play pop, rock, heavy metal, double bass, and as you can see he's good. Though his double bass needs to improve more. In his cover of Careful, I can see that he uses double bass which annoys me a bit. And his double stroke is more comfortable to hear. I know that he is having fun with the song but for the double bass thing, I kinda get a bit annoyed. I liked the fills though. I know that he is comfortable with it and having fun. In his cover I can feel different influences of his drumming which I think is good because it is a good sign that he's improving. 

II. COMPARISON W/ THE ORIGINAL DRUMS

Zac Farro, the drummer of Paramore uses crazy fills that makes you think that he's very fast. That's why I was having a hard time too on practicing drums on the new songs of Paramore in Brand New Eyes. Cobus did a really good job on doing his own fills. And as what cobus said, He enjoys on playing songs that he can really jam with and I agree. He has a wide range of which path he would be but He's mixing everything. That's what is unique about him.

III. OVERALL AND FINAL SAYINGS.

Cobus is one of the best drummers that I have seen or heard ever in my life. He's One of the people that would be famous because of his style and groove. so I give Kudos to him!

Also if you want to view his drum cover, I'l give you the link to his Drum cover of Paramore's Careful

Yep, I'm back here to bring you a Review of Lady Gaga's Telephone.  A lot of people are saying mixed comments. But here I am giving you a review based from what I understood.

CONCEPT:

We all know that Gaga has tremendous ideas of metaphors and symbolism. We all know that In the music video of Paparazzi, Gaga ends up in jail. She killed her boyfriend because he was so disturbing her and thus poisoned him. Now Beyonce is the one asking for help because her boyfriend was disturbing her. And she poisoned him with the help of Gaga in the Kitchen. Then the whole people eating at the fastfood chain were dead. There is only one thing that is certain and that is  DEATH. There were a lot of deaths in the video. First was the boyfriend of Beyonce. It's expected because he was always calling her on the telephone and wants to shut him up forever. The next death was the people in the Fast Food Chain. It represents that the food in fastfood chains are not healthy for us and it's the most basic knowledge about it. We never know what they put inside the ingredients so that represents a warning for us. I guess on the first scene it was cleared that she is not a hermaphrodite. There were a lot of Endorsements in the video that most likely makes it like a commercial but that's what pop culture is so I'm not surprised about it. Also there was a Quentin Tarantino theme in the mini-movie/musicvideo just like the "Pussy Wagon"

RELATION OF THE MUSIC TO THE VIDEO:

The meaning of telephone was clearly direct to the song. People starts to get annoyed when someone is disturbing them emotionally, mentally, physically. We all have limitations on what we feel and do. That's what make the video to some people weird because it's in a artful way that she portrayed it that some people won't realize it not until people will Tell them what it is about. In the music video Beyonce was really annoyed by her boyfriend and it triggers her to be on her limit and that is asking help from someone who can shut him up. A lot of people were shocked on the result of the video.

ALL IN ALL:

Well I admit that most of the scenes had the sexy clothes and censored  things, a lot of endorsements, revenge, poison, death etc. But that's what makes this video interesting. It's just a simple 9 minute mini-movie but Recently the video has recently have Almost 12 Million views in just 3 days and almost have 62,000 comments. Both good and Bad. So what can you say about it?

This video may be giving a great impact both on the Pop music and maybe those products might have an increase of products bought.
