Hey folks - pardon the mild pluggery, but since folks seemed to like http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=82891&KW=pumped+up+kicks" rel="nofollow - my last prog-metal cover , I thought I'd share my new cover, which is a 5/4 heavy rendering of a Black Keys song off their new album El Camino. I'd love to hear what folks think, good bad or ugly! ------------- http://bensommermusic.com" rel="nofollow">

| For a band that has a nice late 60s / early 70s retro feel to it, I like the Black Keys. And I do like what you have done here to make this more "proggy," at least with the 5/4 time signature. Coming out with an EP sometime? |

Great song, with an actual cover (not a clone)! Seeing you don't feature the drums, i'm guessing you using a drum machine or virtual kit of some sorts? ------------- Crushed like a rose in the riverflow. |

No worries - appreciated anyway!
Thanks! I absolutely have a real drummer - didn't you catch the jiggling monkey around 0:08? Srsly - yeah I use Superior Drummer, as do most TV & film composers. I work with a regular guy (George) when I can swing it (pun intended), but for this cover stuff its just easier. George is at about 0:15 here: ------------- http://bensommermusic.com" rel="nofollow">
