I really enjoyed learning this one, and took my time with it. Learning a Danny Carey arrangement is always so humbling, and it's always a wonderful journey. He is such an incredible writer - I never realize how intricate the song is until I sit down to learn it. To me that's the beauty of his and Tool's work: it sounds great on the first listen without really knowing what you're listening to, and then when you peel back the layers, you see how much effort went into the song.
The dynamics in this song are incredible, from the softest cymbal bell rhythms to playing as loud and as fast as you can with both hands and both feet. I've probably listened to this song a hundred times and it still give me chills at the end. And to play it on the drums is a feeling I can't even describe.
Enough of my rambling :D I hope you enjoy this as much as I did, and if you like this, please share with your friends!

I think the atomic clock checks in with Danny Carey to make sure it is accurate.
2am
Sophia Mefford so gene hoglan checks in with Danny?
Sophia Bogard haha
WillHerndon Hey Will - I actually got to see Danny work / Evil JoeB during The tracking of 10,000 Days ~ There is a click track... He most often does not use or has it on very subtly for cues etc. he adjusts the level as he wishes it's was on a fader a next to his kit. He made all his own click/cue tracks in Logic w/ various diff sounds/accents for diff parts. (Those tracks actually sounded so unique & awesome I wanted a copy of it) But in general you're correct as he most often checks against it or plays through it. Joe didn't move a single hit on that album digitally, & most songs were tracked as one complete take (no stops) Joe said he never did more then 4 takes most often 2. Bottom line an elaborate click exists he checks against it BUT most often "PLAYS through it" manipulating the tempo up/down to taste & dynamics as he tracks.
Anyone: "So and so, so and so, this and that."
Internet: "Ackkktuuualllyyy....."
Every got damn time.
Whenever I play my Tool songs in my car and I've arrived at my destination, I make everyone in the car stay in the car until the Tool song is over.
How can anyone leave the car before Tool songs end? Those who leave should be given a beat on the arse in fibonachi sequence
I feel like i wrote your comment
It's just what i'm to
Lol I literally do this same thing with my wife sometimes
So what you're saying is, you're an asshole
@@TheCrimsonDrummer
i'm glad someone eventually said it
This guy does all the definitive Tool drum covers hands down. For so many other drummers when they cover Tool they struggle so much with the technicality of the pieces that they end up losing that power and passion that Tool simply requires. This guy plays the parts perfectly and plays them with balls. There are no other Tool drum covers on UA-cam; only johnkew.
Check out delta empire
Dude you have to check out Jon Hill Jambi drum cover.. i think you may change your original opinion on the 'only' part
TimeMatters when he mean "only" theres noone have balls beside john, who do cover alot of tool song and totally play it with the right technique.
@@timematters800 Jon Hill, literally only other person to compare. Yet their styles are so vastly different, it's weird. Jon Hill is like a robot, John Kew has emotion.
I know this comment is 4 years old now, but I just want to add that I like the way this guy mixes and I love his sound as well. It's perfect for meditating on a sweet Danny Carey groove when the drumming is louder and performed well.
People like this deserve a seat on Mount Olympus
+SergeantZaf03 RIGHT ON...
Danny Carey is the one who performs it and writes it soooo....
+GlitchySheepGaming And youre implying...? Danny is king but whomever is able to preform this still deserves the attention.
Oh definitely! Sorry I sounded like a dick. Yeah its amazing what she has done
+GlitchySheepGaming Implying Danny isn't already a god.
It's practically better than sex - pulling off a song with so much energy. Nothing feels better. Great job.
:D :D
I can agree to this
That feeling you get ... When you nail a Danny Carey solo!!!!
04:35 - 04:38 --- DAMN!!!
EDIT: 0:00 - 06:02 --- DAMN!!!
Absolutley EPIC Cover, Sir!
This is the best Tool drum cover on UA-cam.
totally agree
Chris Campbell check out Amanda Dal she does a good job as well. I like hers a bit more just because she is obviously enjoying it
he did Lateralus,your argument is invalid
he did Rosetta Stoned...
Chris Campbell I concur
5:07 did you just hit like 3 cymbals in a milisecond?
Holy shit
Yeah he speeds the camera up lol
Yep pretty much looked like he did
YES, how its supposed to be, only on his cover that i saw that
Yessir
Don't even know how such a excellent cover could even get a dislike
Dislikes are jealousy
The dislike poster was probably offended that the song flew in the face of what Jesus had told him was acceptable......
A person puts a dislike on this video because they own a drum set, they even tell people they are a drummer, but they know in their heart THEY WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO DO WHAT THEY JUST WATCHED... Jealousy at its finest
I almost died in a car crash while this song was playing... The truck was struck and landed upside down right after the drum solo finished. You have really capsulated the energy from this song. Every time I hear this song I always think of that car crash and how closely it resembles everything from that car crash.. I was 15, the drunk driver was charged, I received a 5k settlement as soon as I turned 18 I am now 33. Thank you 🔧
Oh and the passenger side was caved in after my friend's F-150 was salvaged and I was wearing my seatbelt. Had I not been wearing a seat belt, I would not be typing this comment from my cell phone with a cracked screen. Talk about luck.
Thanks for this great feedback, and I'm so stoked that this video has inspired you to work in some drumming before work! You're right - with practice, you become more efficient, the technique gets better, and muscle memory helps just guide your hands where they need to be. So without all that tension and struggling to keep up when you're first learning it, after some practice it becomes much less physically demanding.
You can totally see you are feeling those songs you play. Damn. I’m inspired and a little gutted you’ve kind of disappeared 🪄 But inspired I AM! And I have been watching and learning and feeling my way around my kit with a new kind of fascination and awe for drumming and drums as a whole. Thanks for the brilliant videos. They’ve helped me a LOT! ✨ now I’m having fun 😊
I can't even begin to tell you how many times I've watched this cover over the past decade, but it's a LOT. And it still elates my heart every time I watch it. Granted, to me it is the quintessential Danny Carrey arrangement, but you do it so much justice, John. Well done.
Me too :)
Danny would be proud of you sir.
I am not a musician and after watching many do Tool drum covers I have developed an awareness for who is the real deal. This guy is it - period Jon
Definitely lol couldn't fake your way through this one 😆
There's a girl who plays it really well too 😁 Meytal Cohen I think. I still like this one the best though. But I'm always glad to see women getting into drums and guitar so I give her props for that 🤩
I arrived here looking for some nice backing track to play along (guitar)... I didn't play a single note, you deserved full attention.
Thanks for this great feedback! I learn everything by ear. I'm so slow at reading music - I don't see how those guys can read on the fly with real technical music. I have to learn everything by feeling alone - no counting.
nine nine nine
4:35 - 5:08, this is the section, right here. Eargasm.
"I never realize how intricate the song is until I sit down to learn it. To me that's the beauty of his and Tool's work: it sounds great on the first listen without really knowing what you're listening to, and then when you peel back the layers, you see how much effort went into the song." I could not have expressed better how I feel about this guy's intricacy. His themes are EVERYWHERE. Thanks for your work.
Is it weird that I listen to these covers more than the actual songs??
Just always the drums catch me more than anything and this guy plays every song perfectly
By far the best 46&2 cover I've seen on youtube. Can't figure out why meytal cohen got more viewer than you....
TBF she shows more foot, but yes, boobs.@@bretts9409
I didnt know tony hawk played drums
+Neil Dalman Ha!
Neil Dalman 😆😂🤣
HAHAHA
😂🤣
Neil Dalman more like Aaron Kyro
I have always always skipped over videos of drum covers of everything. Until today I never thought that was a mistake... My God man.
Nine years later. I love you, man!
Thanks for allowing people to see what Danny Carey is doing on the drums during these songs. He uses every drum and every cymbal and actually uses every sound the drums and cymbals have to offer. Playing anything Danny does is extremely extremely hard. He uses such off time stuff you almost have to train yourself to do what he does since its so un-natural. I hope everyone else that see's this appreciates what your doing because its incredible and a pleasure to get to watch. Thank You
Not only you did a good work on the cover itself, but in tuning the drum perfectly to fit the song.
Great job!
Make NO mistake. Johnkew is absolutely the real deal. Danny Carey has got to love this guy. The drum tuning is perfect. What a way to show respect to Tool, and to one of the best drummers ever - DC. Johnkew is on the top of my list now. Coming from me, I hope that means at least something........ I'm a rock bassist, but follow drummers. Weird I know. I just love good drummers. And Johnkew is one of my top favorites. I'd sure like to know where you live Johnkew.
Your effort just deflected a group of solar flares headed for Earth......you saved us all.....even the haters.
Such a crisp and clear sound smashed to hell and back will earn repeat viewings for me.Thanks.
I want you to play on my kit just to know they are capable of playing this.
I have that thought all the time HAHAHAHAHA
I've been here since this video - you deserve millions of subs. Thanks for keeping your quality up and putting out new videos.
5:05 that feeling when you nail the hardest part and know you're gonna upload a fire cover tonight
4:35 Start of the best drum solo integrated in a song as far as I know.
this is amazing man. i've never seen someone do this good of a job. i've been listening to this song since the early 2000s. i'm sure this was an incredible learning experience for you and you're a better player for it. thanks for your contribution.
Sweet mother of god, that was amazeing!!!!
One of best online drummers period
I've spent countless hours studying your technique and approach to these tool covers and I just want to personally thank you for the devotion and hard work you put forth.
Wow.. u sir have gain a new sub!!
Fantastic job man I have been trying with no luck to tune my drums to sound like Carey's. Your tuning is spot on how did you get it to sound like that? Is it effects or computerized or just straight up toms
Besides the V-drum pads, everything was recorded acoustically. The trick I found to get the toms to sound more like Carey's is to tune them higher than you think they should be. Carey particularly tunes the upper toms high (10 & 12-inch). I also tuned the resonant head slightly lower than the batter head, to create that dropping tone. Hope this helps!
thanks bud it does help i will try it
johnkew What Vdrums sounds did you use? Great job!
I love the sound and your passion on the song. Two thumbs up.
ABSOLUTELY WELL DONE!
Let's face it, we are here to see 4:35. BTW, you nailed it!
5:02 How?...Teach me
They way he did it here is a different fill than on the album. He did tom-tom-base-base (and cycles in snare-tom-base-base) rolls; Carey does snare-tom-tom-tom-base-base rolls. So he's doing 8 for Carey's 6. It's a hard fill :)
there’s plenty of variations of the fill that sound the same and are really easy if you know what you’re doing behind a kit
I love practicing these songs, especially this one. I get chills every time too man. Nice job on this.
Great job, always enjoy watching this
What kind of snare is that, sounds so good
On Fucking Point!
oh my freakin god this is sooo amazing, thank you for bringin me such emotions dude, please keep going with the tool covers, your videos are amazing seriously!
You rock Johnkew. Your drumming is kick ass. Love watching you do drum covers on Tool songs. Awesome.
Shit, the solo at the end. I had to subscribe.
great cover! great production! how did you get the panning shot?
iamossum Thanks! It's an auto-panning motorized tripod mount that I found at a home security store.
Amazing cover and amazing talent!
INCREDIBLE!!
How do you get your toms like that without a drum rack?
cymbal stand
bad ass dude...out of all the Carey wannabes...you are the best...That metyal what's her bucket drives me nuts and is very full of herself
I was just thinking how stupid it is she has close to 1 million views on her dumb ass mountain-themed cover. She drives me insane, as well.
88and6 she's very good, much better than i could do for one, but she dumbs it to a basic version. Also notice the mental panning of the camera on the difficult multi drum roll, she aint played that man :P
Warren Smith See, I do think she's a good drummer. But I don't like how her looks have propelled her to the top of the UA-cam drumming community. She isn't as talented as this man.
hahaha, I know, dude. That cracks me up everything I watch.
88and6 Agreed!I saw a facebook post of her answering questions,like does she have a bf when's her bday etc I was like WTF?This chick thinks she's a precious little prize or what?She's cute and plays the f**king drums!Big f**king deal!I unfriended her and lost interest.
10 years ago and still a king, timeless
my favorite,best cover on youtube and also sick sound
keep on man!
Dude
