Blackwater Park by Opeth

What can I say ? It's one of the greatest songs ever created... I've been listening to this album since I was 12 or 13 years old. It was recommended to me by a French teacher in school if I recall correctly. Loved the album the second I started listening to it and my love only grew with years.

As you know I'm a huge fan of Opeth, especially Blackwater Park, Ghost Reveries and Watershed. Those are the albums I listened the most. The more I listen to them the more I realize how genius they are. Also absolutely love the production of this album. It's authentic, unique and organic. If you listen closely to the beginning of this song, every snare hit is different. It just feels so real. Also worth to mention that even though I didn't cover anything from him directly I'm a huge fan of Steven Wilson. And I can really feel his contribution in this album which makes it even better.

And of course nothing but respect to Martin Lopez. He played drums on some of the best songs of all time, with touch, finesse and power. He has been and continues to be a huge inspiration for me as a drummer and I can't wait to cover more of his stuff. He is a brilliant musician.

As often with these Opeth drum covers, a little tear drops at the end. I honestly don't know what it is that I feel at the end of those covers. But playing songs like that is too intense and the emotion has to come out one way or another and it's often tears. This music feels pretty overwhelming to me and when I play those songs it just comes out like that.

I changed a couple things with the sound of my drums and I think this is by far my best sounding one. I'm very very happy with how it sounds. I hope you'll notice it and like it. As always thank you all for watching. I love doing those covers and your support always means a lot to me !
