Lyrics:
In the dark of night
In a barren land
When you’re losing grip
With a fearful hand

And there’s no escape
With the pressure high
It’s looking grey and grim
With the light so dim

Don’t let the sadness take you over
It’s always there waiting round the corner
When you’re surrounded on all sides
I’m telling you there’s hope amid these rising tides

Don’t lose who you are
In the middle of it all
And don’t lose who you are
When your world’s about to fall

Just a little longer
Believe and hold on
Cause it’s always the darkest
Right before the dawn and

If you can just find a way to push through
Cause it’s the best thing you’ll ever do
Hold on to what you know is true
When things go wrong it’s so hard

Change like a tidal wave
It will find its way all over you
It won’t always be this way
And it’ll get better soon so

There’s some good and it’s coming for you
Don’t you let go, don’t you dare it’s not true
We’re in the thick of of the night
But I’m telling you the dawn is so close
The dawn is so close

The dawn, the dawn
It is so close for you
The dawn, the dawn
You’re gonna make it through this

Keep your eyes fixed on that eastern sky
And forget what they say – let it pass you right by
Keep your eyes fixed on that eastern sky

This video was crazy and crazy fun to make! Myself and my good buddy Brad Fisher put together this Drum Duet of “Pop Danthology 2012” which is a mashup of 50 pop songs by Daniel Kim.

We couldn’t have done any of this without the help of Lee Zavitz, Kyle McHale, and Mike Donais who recorded the audio and video.

Lee is the man behind the cameras and the editing and recording my drums. Kyle recorded Brad’s drums and then we put it all together.

It took us about 4 months to write all of these parts and rehearse them enough to film it all in a single take. Thanks for watching and sharing!

Guitar cover – sike! This is a super catchy new song by Dave Days and I couldn’t get it out of my head so I started drumming along and added some new drum parts to it. P.S. I’ll be playing drums for Dave at VidCon in Anaheim so if you’re around I’ll see you there!

This song was so groovy I had to get my buddy Justin de Graaf to tear it up on the bass with me…but I’m not playing the bass…I’m playing the drums like normal – just in case there was any confusion. I’m also not behind the camera as my good friends Lee Zavitz and Brad Fisher recorded this for us! Thanks doods! This was really fun to film and jam out to 🙂

WHATs UPPP? Probably buildings planes and migratory birds and their digestive systems being used in-flight….wait….look down quick!!! AHHH! Whew that was close those birds almost pooped in your mouth. What was I talking about? Oh right – this is a song I got to play the drums for with Dave Days (http://youtube.com/davedays) and Nikki (http://youtube.com/nikkiinhollywood). I made a trip down to LA (much like a migratory bird would) to film a video with these two studs.

This video is the complete actual take from the studio when the drums were recorded. A huge thank you goes to my good buddy Lee Zavitz for filming and recording these drums. Check him out athttp://twitter.com/howshebe!

The amazing Cobus is releasing a new album with his new band called “Ventura Lights”. This is their first single called “Superheroes”. They have asked drummers to submit cover versions of this song and will pick one to be featured in the box set of their album release! So if you like this version, help me out and retweet/share this video. Thanks guys!

Kelly Clarkson imaginarily interrupted me with a phone call while I was holding a hammer, drill, sunscreen and a bongo drum. She asked if I would drum cover her song “Catch My Breath” – so I did!

Myself and Lee Zavitz re-recorded the entire song with a different feel – you can see that process here:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qloTM1…

And also Jessica Puddicombe for filming the intro in freezing temperatures.

This is the Jackson 5 version of the song (because it’s been tuned up a few steps so that record labels don’t force it off of YouTube). In this video, I accidentally entered a video game. Help me get to my drums by pressing start!

Here’s a little holiday treat for you to munch on. 🙂 I greatly love Blink 182.

Back in the wild, wild west I was a troublesome lad with a handlebar moustache and a battery powered vacuum cleaner. I also played the drums. So I added parts to Taylor Swift’s song “I knew you were trouble”.

I decided to just play like crazy on this one and have fun with it. 🙂

This is one of my favourite songs of the year – maybe because there’s a whole orchestra playing with cardboard bows…or just me….

I had myself a nice good hoe-down playing the drums to this song!

I added new drum parts to Late Night Habit’s song “All Your Love”. They are a great band and friends of mine – check out their stuff! http://youtube.com/latenighthabit

P.S. if you’re wondering why i have a bionic thumb, I don’t. It’s just ducttape because I jammed my thumbnail under a cymbal catch. Think of it as a ducttape thimble.

I added my own drum parts to Katy Perry’s song “Wide Awake”. This song was fun to groove to. Sorry for the high tuning – record labels are stuck in the past and this is the only way to upload it and get to the future – unless we lived on Star Trek Voyager and had a time travelling device. Until then, this will have to suffice

This song was driving me crazy…in a good way. So I added some of my own drums to it. What else…oh yeah Mark Hoppus is hot.

I added drum parts to The Piano Guys’ Cover of Coldplay’s “Paradise”. So technically it’s a cover within a cover. Sort of like inception but the only dreamy thing here is my amazing good looks.

I suped up Katy Perry’s song “Part of Me” and added some of my own drum parts. MMmmm…soup.

Call Me Maybe…or maybe not. You know, whatever. Okay, yeah call me. Or don’t. Do.
– These are drum parts I added to Carly Rae Jepsen’s Song “Call Me Maybe”.
