    A lot of people say the, "intermission", was added as a sort of, "fuck you", to record companies who wanted to Tool to record a heavier 3 minute song for radio play. I'm now convinced that it was added solely to give Danny a break.

      Lol. As a thirteen year old learning the guitar, TOOL is my most favorite band. This and Laturus and schism and Jambi are my favorite songs. Saw them in 2019 in 6th grade, it was just sensory overload lol. It was freaking amazing. My mom and dad love the band. ( Don’t judge I also like Hooker With a Penis not because I’m a 13 yr old. I’m Mormon too.)

      Man. Just awesome. I absolutely love the ending of this tune from 7:20 on. One of the most inspiring things about Danny Carey is his creativity, followed by an immortal talent. However, solely based on RUclips videos, he appears by all accounts to be an awesome human human being as well. Maybe this is the best reason to learn his music. Bravo on this cover.

    As an avid rock and jazz drummer for over 20 years, spending most of those years in too complicated math rock - you are truly talented. Many posers are on youtube but to play rosetta stoned took me months and I still struggle with that hand pattern at the end with the double bass. Danny carey may be the best PERCUSSIONIST - maybe not DRUMMER alive - but my friend you should be immensely proud, especially considering you look fairly young. Danny is 59. Hes been doing this a long, long, loooooong time. I saw a pic of him where he played drums until his hands BLED. not callouses. BLOOD. It takes such supreme effort to get to this level. From one hardcore drummer to you - you've inspired me. Awesome job, man,

I find tool songs harder then prog / djent / math metal songs as animals as leaders ecc.... for animals i take some hours to learn the technical difficulties , for tool is another difficulty level, is artistic difficulty, is compositive difficulty, is flow difficulty, is dynamic difficulty... your expression is perfect.... i'm done

    This might just be the best drum cover on RUclips, and I've seen a lot. So few people even attempt to claim that they have a cover of this, and rightfully so. I personally consider this song the current epitome of rock drumming, and you absolutely nailed it. It's a rare thing when you can put up something on the internet that is all but unrivaled. Well done sir.

  • @krisgallagher484
    @krisgallagher484 7 лет назад +1

    Absolutely incredible. By far the best tool covers I've ever heard. As for missing any parts of the song, like Neil Peart has said countless times as I'm sure Danny Carey would agree, he more than likely never plays his songs the exact same way every time. The bulk of each song is played the same but a cymbal here, tom there different times is always improvised. You sir have a gift not to mention the sound of your kit, quality of your videos and your determination to do everything you cover justice. That you do time and time again. Not sure what the 13 people that gave you thumbs down were listening too.
