See SOUNDGARDEN’s MATT CAMERON reimagine BAD OMENS’ “Just Pretend” for DRUMEOA good omen for grunge fans with a taste for modern heavy music, Soundgarden and onetime Pearl Jam drummer Matt Cameron just delivered his own percussive interpretation of Bad Omens’ “Just Pretend” for the good folks at Drumeo. Cameron is the latest drummer to think outside the box for Drumeo’s “For the First Time” YouTube series, where the hosts introduce a musician to a tune for the very first time — and without drum accompaniment — before letting the guest sort out the rhythms on their own. Past episodes include Dream Theater’s Mike Portnoy playing Taylor Swift, and the Police’s Stewart Copeland working his way around Limp Bizkit’s “Rollin’ (Air Raid Vehicle).” The hosts told Cameron that they sought him out because of his proficiency with odd time signatures, as well as “the tribal kind of tom grooves that you play on a lot of different recordings.” He made the request for Drumeo not show him a Sleep Token song, just because they’d done that on a few episodes already (Cameron added that he thinks Sleep Token are pretty good). Instead, he was shown Bad Omens’ “Just Pretend,” the sixth single from the latter’s 2022 full-length, THE DEATH OF PEACE OF MIND. Cameron rocked the rhythms of the alt-metal ballad with a few intricate shifts, while also leaning into some slow grooves and extra accoutrement. He also discussed his process on how he plots out drum fills. The Drumeo team complimented Cameron on the sickness of his odd-placed cymbal-and-tom grooves, while the Soundgarden founder liked what he heard of the original, adding, “That s a really nice song. Great band…great songwriting. Love it.” Omens drummer Nick Folio was also shown Cameron’s reinterpretation, leading him to applaud the longtime skinsman for his outside-of-the-box embellishment, compared to Folio’s restraint. “There s a lot of pauses in that song where I don t really play, and you fill the space perfectly,” Folio said. “That was awesome. Bravo, brother.” You can see Cameron’s Bad Omens redux up above. In related news, Soundgarden guitarist Kim Thayil just released his memoirs, A Screaming Life: Into the Superunknown With Soundgarden and Beyond.
