This is a drum cover (or remix) of the Jonas Brothers’ song, Burnin’ Up.
Pop and Rock politics aside, this was one of the grooviest songs i have ever jammed to.. was an incredible amount of fun.
(As for the drumming intro; it’s the only part of the song that was written beforehand, the rest is all improvised on the spot, to keep things fresh and unpredictable.)

I have to emphasize, I know calling this a “cover” is wrong, seeing as I only PARTLY stayed true to the song’s drums (or lack thereof), through the WHOLE song i play some variations of the beats, phrasing and fills, since 99% of what i play is improvised. Even though i have done my fair share of session and studio drumming, that has little to zero effect on these video’s, I kind of see them as live performances. I’m NOT aiming to be accurate to the original drums, I’m just aiming to enjoy myself. And I thoroughly succeeded in doing that, might I add
