Matt Garstka is an animal, his drumming is immense and insanely difficult ! excellent job man ! Maybe cover a few more animals as leaders songs in the future ?
You are among a few who can play like Danny and Mat... That means you are a genius.
Love your ghost notes, man!
Kyle Schneid Many thanks, and yeah, those ghost notes were really tricky in parts. They make the song so much richer though.
Amazing! Garstka is tough to keep up with, but you nailed it! So fluid and groovin'.
***** Much appreciated, and I love the groove of this song. Those ghost notes are a blast to learn and play.
"Matt Garstka Intense Drumming Face" approves this cover
So amazingly solid and smooth..
I'm only half way through and my mind is blown.
Kin Productions Thanks for the feedback!
Been watching you from the start and you have improved a hell of a lot! Congrats
scienceguyJ1 Hey, thanks for sticking around. It's hard to believe that I started posting these videos over four years ago.
hello john, i am hearing you know daily for 2 weeks and it helps me relaxing from hard days of work. thank you mate
Very nice man!!!! You slayed this cover!!!!
Zack Baker Drum Channel Thanks man!
Ever thought about doing some Plini? I think that’d be frickin awesome
Hey John it's been awhile! This song is really great, one of my favorite by them! I saw them live last year in Paris, it was really impressive! Awesome job as always, your technique is flawless! You almost promised a Meshuggah cover though :P
Anthony Verdier Thanks man, and Meshuggah is definitely on the roster :)
Animals as Leaders is great and i hope to see Matt live soon. Great job as always
Your videos never disappoint, keep up the good work.
Thor Odinson Thanks!
Nice cover man.. Love from Kalimpong, India.👍👍👍👍
I like that you went the direction to really make it your own. A lot more solid and even than my cover of it too. Great job!
Beautiful! :)
you did it again... awesome cover! one of the neatest I've found, congratulations!!
Killed it as usual. Very nice :D
DW will prob be looking to buy him soon, like Thomas Lang, Virgil donati, Derek Roddy, and meytal.
Amazing
Lovely way to start your saturday :) keep up the good work John!
Awesome! Love the sound!
AAL is incredible! Wasnt expecting this; so good man!
Killing it! nice job man
Love this one!
Dude! Epic, nuf said.
I love it @3:18 🤘🏽
I've been looking forward to another video - it was worth the wait! You always take such care to piece together the song fluidly. Vicarious re-cover? ;D
pocketsx2 Thanks man. The seed has been planted in my head for a Vicarious recover :) That song is still one of my all-time favorites.
Fuck man, great job! Wow! Those tempo changes are sick! Just flowed right into the next part.
Pickleball brought me here somehow and I ain't complaining!!
Next time a CAFO cover? Kudos, man. You are really skilled.
Solid bro !
Great Video and cover. Would love to see you run through Animals as Leaders- physical education.
Very cool. Great job man. Btw your drums sound great
Gnarly as always. Go Johny, Go Go. Request- Blinded in Chains by Avenged Sevenfold.
Guru !!!!! You are
Woow you're awezome x)
Saludos desde México!!!
Shut up- Blink182 please. Thank you. Your drum fills are very clean. Keep it up.
Honest to God, I was thinking on my way home from work today: I wonder when johnkew will release another video.... #SameWaveLength
Gamer Goat every time i think about him that seems to happen haha
Amazing cover 10/10
i leave i like right here ;)
Dude, not quite my style, but as usual... I watched it, felt it, it all sounding perfectly. Nice and thanks again.
rogersgonc for moment, I thought you were going to say: not quite my tempo
😂
The song title is actually "Another Year" but a great cover nonetheless. I covered this song a few weeks back and loved the groove. You really seemed to capture that groove with your drumming, nice job!
***** Ha, thanks for the heads-up...corrected. And I left a note on your video.
+johnkew, Bro you need to quit your day job and go tour the world with whatever band you'd like. It really doesn't get any better. That was absolutely perfect. Amazing job.
Great job, John! I've been following since you've posted Tool videos way back. I love the transition into this genre. I would like to see some Meshuggah! Nevertheless, excellent job, Dude.
Justin Scroggins Thanks for sticking around, and you can bet there will be some Meshuggah soon!
Amazing cover!! Love animals as Leaders.. You should cover a song by Chon!
Cheers
You have to be a professional drummer for someone! Stellar performance!
Reagan Hawbaker Thank you!
Sweeeeeet
Hey, Johnkew! Awesome cover!saw it hundreds times )) could, you tell, please, dis you have played along the drum less track or you had used the original track and modify it?
What genre would people call this I absolutely love it
Excellent cover, I think I prefer this song over most other AaL songs. Two questions:
1.) What are your absolute favorite Sabian cymbals?
2.) Would you consider covering a Coheed and Cambria song? A lot of the Willing Well songs have some good challenges in them and a lot of Coheed songs have a great deal of groove, Evagria the Faithful or The Hard Sell possibly.
Ethan Hamilton Tough question on the Sabian cymbals. I would have to say that, of the Paragon line, the ride and 19-inch china are my favs. Of the crashes, the 18-inch Evo is my fav. Of the hi-hats, the Evo is probably also my favorite.
Johnkew my favorite cymbals of Sabian are HHX Evolution
Dat Troy Wright stack lol
Very solid, your drums sound incredible also! I would love to see you cover Exile by TesseracT! What do you say!
Question for drummers:
Does Matt do the constant ghost notes just because it sounds really good and rhythmic or does he do it to help keep time in AAL's crazy time signatures?
Personally, I do it for the latter, but being a Berklee graduate, he’s probably done a shit ton of shed drumming where they kinda do it for both reasons
Man the automated panning mount, WHERE? HOW MUCH? Amazing work by the way :D
An easy way to do that would be to take the fan part off of a rotating room fan, and stick a GoPro on it.
Dude you're such a pro :) do you do studio work for anyone?
Do you think you could cover The Spirit of Radio by Rush? I have seen any covers that are 100% accurate, since a lot of people miss the ghost notes in it, and I think you'd really like playing it, although it's not your normal style.
Just a thought J, It looks like you are trying to figure out a background - my idea.....green screen then shoot your mountains or some cloud scenes and run those in the background - no...I got it go to the peak of a mountain and film in the best direction a 30 minute clip of the clouds going by then place yourself and your kit on the peak! see it??
KOKUA FILMS HAWAII Hey Boda, that mountain backdrop would be cool, but I'd rather shoot on location. There's a fantastic rock formation way out in the middle of Wyoming that I've got my eyes on. But it would require all kinds of permits and generators.
The problem with GoPro cameras is that they are SO wide-angle, that you get a perspective of everything in the room. I'm also planning a home studio in the basement of the home we're moving into soon. It'll be a complete black box.
great cover as usual. heard this song recently. very accurate cover.
i noticed a slight change in the camerawork. some handheld. the oscillating camera was also slowed down. Some new angles incorporated. Overall, this video looks better.
Sitanshu Nandan Good eye - one of the band mates who shares the studio was kind enough to do some hand-held filming on this one. And the motorized tripod mount batteries were low, so the rotation was slow, which I think suits this song better.
In terms of frame rate, I personally prefer the cinematic look over a high frame rate. If you look at some of my older videos, I used higher frame rates, but to me it gives a soap opera effect.
Hmm.. Parabola does have a higher frame rate. Maybe u are right. The cinematic look is more suitable for your videos
Great stuff man it's been awhile since I've watched your videos, but they're still incredible. Have you ever listened to Hella? Especially their first album Hold Your Horse Is has some great tunes on it, at least worth checking out. I don't think it fits your style necessarily, but it's interesting nonetheless. Keep up the good work.
Great musicianship! Your hand technique is very interesting care to explain?
AquaAnim Thanks man - my grip is a strange hybrid of the power grip Neil Peart used back when he played his sticks backwards (when I was learning drums in the 80s). Some time in there, my fulcrum slipped from the first joint of my index finger to the second. Probably to compensate for holding too tight, and resulting finger fatigue. Since then, I've found it hard to switch from that habit, so my grip unconsciously fluctuates from German to French to American, depending on the dynamics of the song.
johnkew Gotcha awesome, even saw were the stick was like upside down in your hand for ghost notes, really awesome.
Hey Johnkew, any chance you have your drum work on an isolated track? I'm sure some of us guitarist would love to work with it and try our best to play on top!
Evan Higashiyama There's a link at the end to the drums-only track. Hope you enjoy!
nice job bro!!
can i give one suggestion? why don't you film your videos in 60fps instead of 24? make it look realistic instead of cinematic?
Good job on the cover, but it is hard to tell your drums from the song. I'd suggest lowering the song by 4db or so.
Carlo Scrignaro This was a tough song to mix, because the drums in the original are so loud. I tried lowering the song in my mix, but to me it ruined the low-key vibe and my drums drowned out the guitars.
0:29 The Lick
This song always gets me amped
