Norizan play the drums

 

What is the meaning "the cover of the music" ? I usually heard people use this term in YouTube Videos when he or she plays a musical instrument and when they try to mimic or imitate the way the original music is played . Could you please explain ? I used to played drums during my teenage days and I love to imitate the way the original drummer played their drums . I would play a music or a song on my Dad's Record Player and after listening to the music/song , I would try to mimic/copy/imitate the way how those drummers hit their drums or play their drums , be it pop , rock or jazz , keroncong , etc., etc. It is cool to be able to follow and hear how those drummers hit those bass drums , snare drums , high hat pedal , metal cow bell , floor tom tom , etc., etc. I gueess those were the beautiful , memorable teenage days , I did "a cover on the music" drums/drummer who played for LED ZEPPELIN , FRANK ZAPPA , KING CRIMSON , PASSPORT , etc., etc.

Creating a "cover" of a song means recording or performing a version of an original piece of music by another artist or band. When you see people on YouTube playing instruments and trying to mimic the original music, they are making a cover. Essentially, it's their own interpretation of the song, staying true to the original's melody, lyrics, and overall style, but adding their personal touch or style.

It sounds like your teenage days were filled with rhythm and creativity! Playing along with records of bands like Led Zeppelin, Frank Zappa, King Crimson, and Passport must have been exhilarating. There's something incredibly satisfying about nailing those drum patterns and fills, isn't there? Recreating the grooves and beats of legendary drummers can be both challenging and rewarding. It's not just about copying; it's about capturing the essence and energy of the original performance while injecting your own feel into it.

Drumming is such a dynamic and expressive form of music. Whether you're hitting the bass drum, snare, hi-hat, cowbell, or toms, each element has its own unique voice in the musical conversation.

Do you still find time to drum, or have those days become nostalgic memories?
