Respect to all these drummers covering Harlequin Forest. But there's just one thing that comes to mind.... How amazing Martin Lopez was.. and still is! He was so intricate when he played for Opeth but was still holding back for the sake of the band. Like all of us drummers normally do... Point is.. all these covers are great!!!! But still falls short from the God of drumming who is called Martin Lopez.
What do tou mean with all the drummers holding back for the sake of the band? I know nothing about drumming sorry, but that looks interesting, talk a lot about this please
@kick ass Lots of things honestly. Opeth, Tool, Mastodon, and Lamb of God are my top four. But I've got a lot of other musicians that really shine in my library. A chill rock band called Manchester Orchestra, a drum and bass group called Pendulum, the older Metallica and Megadeth, Ozzy, Dio, Sabbath, Operation: Mind Crime by Queensryche is one of my favorite records. I like to think I have a good wholesome variety. :)
Searched for "technical drummer" and found this video. Most impressive! Covering a Opeth song is not easy as a drummer. Keep the good work up! Love from Sweden
This is a very infectious song for drumming. I still air drum this song regularly 15 years later. I love your take on it, especially the end. Sick shit, great job
I'm only just over a minute into this video, but I can tell you've really matured as a drummer over the years. A lot more control and expression in this cover versus your older Opeth covers, which is fantastic!
Glen, I watched loads of your videos and you are truly exceptional but the last 2 minutes of this track, with the tempo changes is your best work. Incredible. Well done sir
Where is this guys subscribers, he plays so goddamn well that he deservs so much more. But you got one more coming your way from here🤘🏻 Keep it up man!
Dude, you nail every single song, typically out performing the original. I wish I could see you perform imperium by machine head. I feel like it's right up your alley.
I think you are my favorite drummer.. And btw Harlequin Forest is my favorite song :) can you do some bel'akor :o I wish someone could do a cover of From the Smoke of many Fires :(
Glen Monturi you should create a playlist with more opeth covers and expand it. Wreath, Masters Apprentice, Moonlapse vertigo, and so on. I'd love to see that shit happen!
Believe this or not, I grew up with two of the guys from skeletonwitch. I fucking wish I'd have knew about you a few years back when Derek quit to go to art school and they needed another drummer. I'd have suggested you for sure.
Combo of both actually for the kick and snare the toms are natural, but I use a sample on K and S and also use the natural signals as well just layered in there for MAXIMUMMMM PUNCHHH
Love it dude ! I'm considering doing a full cover for this amazing song....Would you like to participate and just send me the audio tracks of your drum cover (this one is perfect so if you still has the audio it would be great !)? You can see my covers on my channel. Cheers from France !
luv it all man but that zildjian china suuuux too brittle i jad one too n i switched to a sabian forgot which one prolly a aa or metal i forgot but night n day my friend lived the cover just get rid of that zildjian
That drum fill at 5:56 was most essential part of this song. And this is where you ruined it. Listen to the roll once that lopez has taken. Idw if anyone ever has replicated it in same way

What do you mean by holding back
Great playing, Mr Portnoy! Oh wait... 😁
He's a mix of Portnoy and Petrucci
Damn good job, my friend! I'm glad you decided to do more Opeth, they're my absolute favorite band.

Dude, the part after 9:30 is just amazingly executed. Truely nailed it!
My favorite Opeth Song
Terrific. I always wanted to see the ourto drumming of this song. You nailed it totally.
Searched for "technical drummer" and found this video. Most impressive! Covering a Opeth song is not easy as a drummer. Keep the good work up! Love from Sweden
Best outro to a song ever?
This is a very infectious song for drumming. I still air drum this song regularly 15 years later. I love your take on it, especially the end. Sick shit, great job
Wow man. That was an amazing performance. Great job.
If mastodon ever needs a backup you're a shoe in
I'm only just over a minute into this video, but I can tell you've really matured as a drummer over the years. A lot more control and expression in this cover versus your older Opeth covers, which is fantastic!
holy shit bro you're a machine, great job!
Seen them live many times... you're holding you're own. Cheers!
Someone's done his homework!
Mikael's voice is so deep
The song has been downtuned for this video for some reason. Original is considerably higher
@@bertberw8653 yeah for copyright reasons
@@jarrod4115 Ah, makes sense
How come I never saw you in dream theater’s drum auditions sir?!?
Glen, I watched loads of your videos and you are truly exceptional but the last 2 minutes of this track, with the tempo changes is your best work. Incredible. Well done sir
Scott Bartholomew wow man thanks so so so much
Awesome.
Dude, nice variations on the outro. Loved listening and watching :)
Impressive!!
Cool job dude
Congrats🎉
Perfect 👌
fuck damn the chills hit me hard on 8:13 till the end.... this was one of the best covers if not the best so far
This song is unbelievable, you did a great job man!!!
Where is this guys subscribers, he plays so goddamn well that he deservs so much more. But you got one more coming your way from here🤘🏻 Keep it up man!

Beautiful, just beautifully technical
PS: please do Master's Apprentice by Opeth coz I know that you could really pull it off like no one else
Great Job in the outro man!! Great playing ..cheers :)
Epic man!!! Grear playing :)
Dude, you nail every single song, typically out performing the original. I wish I could see you perform imperium by machine head. I feel like it's right up your alley.
Ken Clague hey thanks! No joke I was Fuckin thinking of doing that 3 days ago!!!!
Glen Monturi right on man. I hope to see it. Either way I'll be listening. Keep it up dude and thank you.
Ken Clague
This is the end has some sick drumming too
Very drum....
I think you are my favorite drummer.. And btw Harlequin Forest is my favorite song :) can you do some bel'akor :o I wish someone could do a cover of From the Smoke of many Fires :(
Pier-Andrea Bascetto thanks so so so much that means a lot! I'll check it out!
Thank you.
This was great!
F* me sideways this was absolutely insane
Beyond amazing.
Hélder Tiago thanks!!!
Glen Monturi you should create a playlist with more opeth covers and expand it. Wreath, Masters Apprentice, Moonlapse vertigo, and so on. I'd love to see that shit happen!
Amazing Dude !, Do their stuff from Blackwater park and Deliverance :D
not only do you look like mr. Portnoy but your style truly does resemble his as well hahaha great cover!
fantastico...ciao!
Out class
Amazing
Fucking incredible
love your drumming :)
Benacot thank u!
Holy shit man
YES!!!!!!
portnoy....ish style... but very fine playing.. loving the groove.
Was this tuned down from the studio recording?
8:22
perfect .
Great job - this does seem a 1/2 step too low ? (I have perfect pitch)
9:32
Believe this or not, I grew up with two of the guys from skeletonwitch. I fucking wish I'd have knew about you a few years back when Derek quit to go to art school and they needed another drummer. I'd have suggested you for sure.
Is the song slowed a bit? Awesome job either way dude!
I don't know if it's just me but the vocal audio sounds different ? Is it live vocals ?
What version of the song is this in the background? Anyone have a link?
hey man all I did was transpose the tuning 1 step down just for a different sound
@@MonturiDrums Got a link for it? It sounds fucking awesome!
my boooooi, nice job.. more opeth dude ;)
got another suggestion but from a different artist, the age of shadows by aryeon
Sick cover! Your drums sound amazing! Are they sampled? Or real drums? Either way I love it! 🤘
Combo of both actually for the kick and snare the toms are natural, but I use a sample on K and S and also use the natural signals as well just layered in there for MAXIMUMMMM PUNCHHH
NicE BRO !
Great drumming! Do you happen to have the solo track for the drums? Would love to do a cover of this song.
The last part looked like torture.
Why is the song in a lower key than normal? It's not like that makes much of a difference for the drums, right?
It's seems that no difference at all!!! I liked that until the outro, the outro sounded kinda bad!!!
Never b at eeaase
good job :D
yessine jemaa \m/
\,,/ big man !
nice work but your snare pattern is way wrong, maybe you changed it on purpose, nice though
Hey Mike Portnoy! 😁
What ride is that?
Hello! what sabian AAX and AA size, models?
Fuck yea
how about some chimaira??;)
Love it dude !
I'm considering doing a full cover for this amazing song....Would you like to participate and just send me the audio tracks of your drum cover (this one is perfect so if you still has the audio it would be great !)?
You can see my covers on my channel.
Cheers from France !
Insert constructive criticism here
luv it all man but that zildjian china suuuux too brittle i jad one too n i switched to a sabian forgot which one prolly a aa or metal i forgot but night n day my friend lived the cover just get rid of that zildjian
I really thought it was portnoy haha
That drum fill at 5:56 was most essential part of this song. And this is where you ruined it. Listen to the roll once that lopez has taken. Idw if anyone ever has replicated it in same way
Abhishek Chaubey hahahhahaha I ruined the whole song huh? Ok!
Glen Monturi dont take it otherwise plz. You got a really cool kit. Plz cover that part once agian if not thecwhole song and post it
Glen Monturi one more thing to mention. The scale you have reduced the song to is way better than actual one. Which scale is rhis
Abhishek probably used the word "ruined" in the meaning of : one tiny bit not exactly 100% the same
Far from original but I like it!
Too much improv. Could hardly watch this
Aww poor baby
Tool
Amazing
