Kids' Cover Of PANTERA's 'Revolution Is My Name' Posted Online

October 27, 2010

Several students from the Aaron O'Keefe music-instruction school in Ohio recorded a cover version of the PANTERA song "Revolution Is My Name" on Saturday, August 28, 2010 at the Saint Claire Recording Company in Lexington, Kentucky. You can hear the track as well as watch the accompanying studio footage below.

Commented O'Keefe: "In order to get multiple camera angles I had the students record the song using a click track. Not only did using the click track help create a better video, but many professional recordings are laid down to a click track. In using this technique to record, the students now realize what is expected from a professional musician in a studio.

"Many viewers might wonder why the students aren't jumping around and delivering a great visual performance as well. Playing along with the click track requires a great deal of concentration, so that wouldn't possible for many musicians, especially a bunch of kids....in this case six students ranging in age from 12 to 14.

"What we changed... We left out the first 96 bpm section as well as the first solo. Because the song already contains several tempo changes and a ritardando, I thought it would be best for the students to simplify the arrangement a little bit."
