DRMAGDN’s Remarkable Cover Of Beatles Classic “Something”: A Tribute to Musical Greatness
DRMAGDN, the versatile Drummer/DJ based in the heart of New York City’s West Village, has recently unveiled a dazzling cover of The Beatles’ timeless classic, “Something.” This extraordinary musical journey began when DRMAGDN, after signing with BMG, gained access to George Harrison’s catalog, paving the way for a unique and heartfelt tribute to the iconic song.
What sets DRMAGDN’s rendition apart is not only his formidable drumming skills but also the collaboration with an ensemble of exceptional talents. Michelle Ray, renowned for her appearance on Season 4 of “The Voice,” joins DRMAGDN along with an impressive cast of musicians, including Dave Eggar on strings (known for his work with Coldplay, The Who, Bon Jovi), Danny Flam on horns (contributor to Kanye West/Rihanna’s “All Of The Lights”), Oscar Albis-Rodriguez on guitar/bass (collaborator with A Great Big World, Sarah McLachlan), and vinyl mastering by the illustrious Andy Vandette (credited for his work with David Bowie, U2, The Prodigy, Aerosmith, and Rush).
The remix itself is a masterful blend of electronic elements, captivating drum fills, and a fresh perspective that not only pays homage to the original but elevates it to new heights. DRMAGDN’s deep connection with the source material is evident, and his commitment to honoring the legacy of George Harrison’s composition shines through every beat.
In addition to the auditory experience, the music video accompanying the remix takes listeners on a nostalgic journey. DRMAGDN retraces The Beatles’ historic 1964 “Beatlemania” trip to the US, visiting iconic locations such as JFK Airport, Ed Sullivan Theatre, and Carnegie Hall. The visual storytelling adds another layer to the homage, capturing the essence of an era that forever changed the landscape of music.
DRMAGDN shares his inspiration behind the remix, stating, “‘Something’ is my favorite Beatles tune of all time. So I jumped at the chance to do a modern remix of the song when BMG acquired George Harrison’s catalog. These musical shoes are literally the biggest in the world to fill, so I had to completely pull out all the stops on this Beatles tribute including nods to the artwork and a truly epic music video.”
Beyond the music, DRMAGDN’s philanthropic commitment stands out. For every release, including “Something,” he makes a $250 donation to charities aligned with the heart of the song. For this particular release, contributions were made to The Carnegie Hall Foundation, considered for the educational clips in the music video, and George Harrison’s own charity, The Material World Foundation, supporting social, artistic, and cultural change worldwide.
DRMAGDN’s impact extends across various social media platforms, with millions of plays/views and a substantial following. From YouTube and Spotify to Instagram and TikTok, DRMAGDN’s eclectic music and engaging presence have resonated with a diverse audience, solidifying his status as a force to be reckoned with in the music industry.
To experience the magic of DRMAGDN’s remix of “Something,” listeners can tune in on Soundcloud, Spotify, and YouTube, immersing themselves in a tribute that beautifully bridges the gap between the past and the present.
