Cobus - Owl City - Fireflies (Drum Cover/Rock Remix)

Get my NEW LESSON PACK here --- http://bit.ly/CobusLessons - - Laus Deo Semper http://www.CobusPotgieter.com   / deedlebag   This song has been playing on radios and on tv EVERYWHERE for a long time, so I had the idea to "remix" the track and to give it something extra, in the hopes of giving you guys a fresh take on the song you've probably heard a million times. I asked my good friend JP Smit (guitar genius, WHAT a legend) to write and record some little electric parts of the song, and it ended up giving the song an EPIC rock edge the original didn't have! STOKED. In terms of the drumming, SUCH a cool song to groove to! Could do cool little groovy patterns in the verses, and the choruses are powerful enough to make space for some solid 4/4 driven rock playing, my crashes weren't too happy but oi.. ample fun. Respect to Mr Adam Young for creating a very very cool vibe. Just as a sidenote (for the audio engineers and mixer who might be wondering) NO replacement or triggering was done in this mix. Every single stroke you hear was just eq'd, mixed, and compressed; I didn't layer or trigger or replace anything. ~ Owl City - Fireflies from the 2009 release "Ocean Eyes" is the copyrighted property of its owner(s).
