COOP3RDRUMM3R & Dylan Taylor


Drum Roll Please…This week I am going to talk about two YouTube drummers, COOP3RDRUMM3R and Dylan Taylor. Months ago, I featured Cobus Potgieter and Luke Holland. Every time I am on YouTube I watch drum covers. These guys, when it comes to their videos, are hands down the best of the best in video quality, technique, and inventiveness.

            COOP3RDRUMM3R is a really cool account to subscribe to. His uploads are consistent. He uploads at least 3-4 videos on a weekly basis. What is so unique about his channel is that he does drum covers to video game theme songs and does a video montage of live video game play while he is covering the theme song of the video game. It is a really cool aspect to his channel. Another thing about COOP3RDRUMM3R is that he is really easy to reach via Twitter. He really cares about his subscribers and tries to interact as much as he possibly can with them. Aside from his awesome covers, COOP3RDRUMM3R has educational videos as well. He has stick trick tutorials, how to become sponsored by YouTube, his story about how he came to be a drummer, and other really cool videos where subscribers can actually get to know him. Fun fact, he is also known for having the cleanest cymbals throughout YouTube.
            The only word that can possibly describe Dylan Taylor is monstrous. He plays like a monster. An analogy would be like if you are watching Animal play live drums from Sesame Street, but his aggressiveness is what I love so much about his style. His channel brought something new to the table when it comes to doing drum covers. Every cover has kind of a story element to it or specific atmosphere. In his Somebody That I Used To Know (Drum Remix), he is seen looking through pictures and then puts them all into his snare. At the end of the video he opens his snare back up and the pictures are in pieces. I love that because not only does it relate to the song, but at that point it is more than just a drum cover.
            So head on over and check out their channels. I promise you’ll learn and have fun watching each of them do their thing behind a kit. Also be on the lookout for the next Danny Miami Drum cover to be coming out real soon!
